Kaecilius Grows Bolder

The Spatial Blades instantly pierced through Venom's body, along with Eddie inside it, skewering them like candied hawthorn.

But this attack was useless against Venom. Their alien symbiote species had only two weaknesses: sound waves and fire.

Other attacks had little effect unless they could erase them on an atomic level.

Venom let out a savage roar and pulled out the Spatial Blades one by one in front of Kaecilius.

"Easy!!!"

Venom felt no pain, but that did not mean Eddie inside him did not.

Every time a Spatial Blade was pulled out, Eddie howled in pain. It was obvious how much it hurt.

"Interesting."

Kaecilius scanned Eddie with his mental power and found that he was an ordinary person. Yet with Venom attached to him, all his abilities could be greatly enhanced.

That gave Kaecilius some ideas.

And so, the scene turned bloody.

Kaecilius used magic to seal Venom's movements, then held a Spatial Blade and slowly peeled Venom away from Eddie's body.

Having lost its host, Venom's massive body reverted to its original form, becoming a small puddle of mobile black liquid that rammed wildly about in Kaecilius's hand.

"Venom!"

Although Eddie had wanted Venom to get the hell out of his body, when Venom was truly stripped away, he felt strangely empty.

They had not been together for very long, but honestly, Venom had already saved him several times.

"To thank you for this gift..."

Kaecilius put Venom away, then looked at Eddie, who was lying on the ground covered in blood. "I will grant you a blessing."

"This blessing... is called immortality!"

Dormammu's mark appeared on Kaecilius's forehead as energy from the Dark Space surged madly into Eddie's body.

The enormous energy continually battered Eddie's flesh, while the negative emotions carried within it continuously assaulted his mind.

In the end... he went insane.

His mind collapsed, his brain filled with countless negative emotions. His eyes turned bloodshot, and the aura around him became violent and berserk.

His flesh was torn apart by the energy, only to begin regenerating and mutating under the effects of dark energy... In the end, a monster was born.

He... it was pitch-black all over, with streaks of white across its body... It was practically Venom's PLUS evolution!

"Very good."

Kaecilius was extremely satisfied as he looked at the monster he had created with his own hands. "From now on... you will be my personal guard."

Roar!

The monstrous Eddie lowered its head and looked at the tiny figure before it, its mind filled with violent emotions.

It... wanted to tear this little thing apart!

But just as it was about to act, it discovered that its body would not obey its commands at all. It could only let out an enraged roar.

"Go ahead and roar."

Kaecilius set up a soundproof barrier around the Spider Demon, then sat down on the sofa and took out Venom to play with it.

"Eddie!!!"

Venom saw the monster Eddie had become. Enraged, it struggled to form an arm, but before it could even swing it, the arm collapsed.

Without a host or a physical body to support it, it could not exert any combat strength at all.

"Merge with me."

Kaecilius placed Venom on his hand, his tone seductive. "I will give you even greater power... See that person? Your former host."

"He is now... no weaker than you!"

"You... Ah!"

Venom had just begun to speak when an immense mental force surged into its mental world. Under the impact of that power, Venom's consciousness... dissipated.

"Now this is a good tool."

Kaecilius controlled Venom's body as it covered his entire body. Feeling the endlessly growing power, a red glint flashed through his eyes before they were fully covered.

"Next time..."

"Next time, I'll definitely make you pay!"

"Damn mage apprentice!"

"Achoo!"

Zhang Yang had just finished meditating when he suddenly sneezed loudly. Rubbing his nose, he found it rather strange.

With his current physical constitution, even if he stripped naked and took a few laps around Mount Everest, he would not suffer any harm. At most, he would feel a little cold.

There was no way he could catch a cold now.

"Is someone cursing me?"

A thought surfaced in Zhang Yang's mind, followed by an image of Kaecilius.

It could not be helped. So far, aside from Dormammu, Kaecilius was his only enemy.

But honestly, Zhang Yang did not consider Kaecilius an enemy. At most, he was a wool producer, someone he could regularly harvest for benefits.

"Time to go find him."

The moment Zhang Yang thought of Kaecilius, he felt something inside him stir. He did not suppress the feeling at all. After sensing Kaecilius's location, he opened a Portal and stepped inside.

"This is... an apartment?"

When Zhang Yang emerged, he realized that the room looked familiar... He had lived here for a long time before!

He had only moved out after opening his own little shop.

"This is the apartment where you used to live."

At the side, Kaecilius was no longer surprised by Zhang Yang's sudden appearance. Seeing the astonished expression on Zhang Yang's face instead gave him great satisfaction. "I merely added a few new things. So, how does it feel?"

"You bastard..."

Zhang Yang understood almost instantly what Kaecilius was trying to do, leaving him both amused and exasperated. "I understand what you're thinking, but have you forgotten Kamar-Taj's signature spell?"

"Avada Kedavra?"

Kaecilius spread his hands, and a Killing Curse shot toward Zhang Yang in an instant. When it had no effect, he was not disappointed. "Or something else?"

"It's the Mirror Dimension, damn it!"

Zhang Yang snapped his fingers, and a Mirror Dimension enveloped them, isolating them from reality.

"Oh, right."

Kaecilius clapped his hands. "I never expected a mere mage apprentice like you to cast spells so quickly... I have to admit, I truly underestimated you."

"But... you made a fatal mistake!"

Kaecilius's voice came from another direction. Zhang Yang turned around and found Portals everywhere around him.

Every Portal corresponded to a Kaecilius.

"Shape of Ikonn?"

Zhang Yang instantly understood where these Kaeciliuses had come from, but he was not the least bit flustered. He was even somewhat curious. "Can your soul sustain all these duplicates?"

"I recently obtained a treasure."

All the Kaeciliuses spoke in unison as black lines began emerging across their bodies. "With it, I can use the Shape of Ikonn without any reservations!"

"Oh..."

Zhang Yang watched as the Kaeciliuses were gradually covered in black lines and transformed into three-meter-tall monsters. He knew what that treasure was.
