Meanwhile, in the desolate silence of space, a spacecraft flew into the main universe's Solar System.
After entering the Solar System, the spacecraft seemed to shake off some kind of restriction and plunged straight toward Earth at a speed comparable to light.
"Finally, we're back on Earth."
"God only knows what we went through on the way..."
"Hahaha, alien creatures aren't so impressive after all!"
Several men in white lab coats laughed, looking extremely pleased with themselves.
Just then, an elderly man wearing black-framed glasses, who looked like a professor, walked out. "There's no time to lose. Head to the Foundation immediately. We must study these damned things thoroughly!"
"Yes, Professor!"
One week later.
New York, the Extraterrestrial Life Research Institute.
As its name suggested, this was an organization dedicated to studying extraterrestrial life. However, it was unknown to the public, and even S.H.I.E.L.D., or indeed the Avengers, had not noticed it.
At that moment, in a laboratory hidden two hundred meters underground.
"Incredible, absolutely incredible! Is this what makes extraterrestrial life so special?!"
"Just one more step. If this step succeeds, we can achieve a leap in the level of human life!"
Several researchers stared at the masses of constantly writhing black liquid inside fully sealed laboratory vessels, their expressions utterly fanatical.
Through a week of research, they had discovered that these alien creatures captured in space were extraordinarily unusual.
They possessed independent consciousnesses and extremely powerful parasitic and regenerative capabilities, but they needed to attach themselves to hosts to exercise their special properties.
As long as the hosts themselves were strong enough, their traits would become even stronger!
But if their hosts were too weak, their traits would also be weakened.
In other words, they grew strong with the strong and weak with the weak.
However, possessing
