Chapter 309: Chapter 307 Venom and Eddie

In the aftermath of the recent SHIELD turmoil, Raina had never seen her Boss's expression so serious. It was evident that the adversaries they were about to face were no ordinary small players.

"Boss, what should we do?" Raina spoke, handing the decision-making authority back to Kyle.

"Let me think a little. I have matters to attend to, and I'll be in New Mexico for a few days," Kyle pondered. Suddenly, he thought of something and communicated with Venom through his thoughts, "Venom, if it were you, arriving in an unfamiliar alien area, what would be the first thing you do?"

"Adapt," Venom responded without hesitation, explaining, "We Symbiote lifeforms can only truly survive by attaching to other lifeforms. So, when arriving in a strange area, we would immediately seek suitable local indigenous life to symbiotically adapt and integrate into the local life. Then..."

"And then what?" Kyle inquired.

Venom stated in a cold and hoarse voice, "Symbiotes have a territorial awareness. If the local area is already occupied by other Symbiotes, the incoming Symbiote, adapted to the local environment, will challenge them."

"Lucky for the incoming ones, there's a Symbiote king who happens to be away from New York," Kyle said with a faint smile. After thinking for a moment, he instructed Raina, "The Symbiotes have just arrived in New York. They'll probably remain hidden for a while, seeking suitable strong humans for symbiotic attachment. During this time, the Carl Family members are strictly prohibited from going out alone. Form teams of three and disperse throughout the city to observe in secret. If you spot a Symbiote, do not engage in combat; inform Lorna or notify the Avengers for a response."

"As for the Life Foundation... inform Fury first, let SHIELD exert pressure and investigate them. We can't handle everything on our own," Kyle added, finishing with a special reminder, "And most importantly, do not let those Symbiote lifeforms get too close; they are tough to deal with."

"Got it, I understand," Raina nodded solemnly. This was the first time the Carl Family was dealing with extraterrestrial lifeforms!

It was also Earth's first attempt to handle an alien invasion without relying on Asgard, using their own influence and strength.

"This is just the beginning. There will be more who will come and they will come on a larger scale... consider this a test," Kyle said softly. After ending the call, his dark wings fiercely flapped in the air.

After a strong dust storm rose, Kyle took off from the wilderness, breaking through the sound barrier with waves of black light.

Not long after Kyle left, an old car drove by the crater, stopping at the edge. A middle-aged local man opened the door, got out, and approached, looking bewildered at the huge meteor crater and the silver hammer standing upright in the center.

At this moment, in the New York City area, at the Empire State Building.

After Raina issued the orders, the Supernatural Incident Bureau temporarily announced the cessation of operations, with the recovery time undecided, explaining to the outside as internal reasons.

In the New York area, Carl Family Agents formed pairs, maintaining audio connections with headquarters 24/7, starting to search for traces of the extraterrestrial Symbiote.

On another front, near the bustling Brooklyn district, a rundown rental residential building.

"These companies are all the same, treating new employees like trash."

After being bossed around by superiors and colleagues all day, journalist Eddie dragged his tired body up the stairs of the cheap, shabby building. Naturally, the cheap monthly rental did not come with fancy elevators, so he wearily climbed the stairs step by step.

Reaching the fifth floor, Eddie walked through the crowded corridor, nearing the room he had rented. There, he saw a bald, robust man standing in front of the door opposite his, holding a continuously swinging black plastic bag.

"Hey, neighbor." Eddie wiped away his sweat and friendly waved.

The bald, robust man glanced at him, his pitch-black eyes radiating a cold light, staring coldly and warily at the approaching Eddie.

"Uh." Eddie pulled back his arm, scratched the back of his head, and awkwardly said, "Sorry, sorry."

Eddie quickly walked to the door of his room, nervously fumbling for the keys in his pocket. He could feel the gaze of the bald, robust man behind him, staring at his back.

He opened the door, leaving only a narrow gap for passage, swiftly squeezed inside, and with a snap, firmly closed and locked the door.

Completing this series of steps, Eddie, exhausted, leaned against the door of the room and complained, "Terrible neighbor."

"Weird neighbor." Outside the door, the bald, robust man spat as well, leisurely took out his key, opened his own door, and stepped inside.

Inside the room, besides simple furniture like a bed and chairs, there was nothing else. The black curtains were tightly drawn, and with the only light source, the room became completely pitch-black after closing the door.

The bald, robust man sat on the chair, took out a lively jumping sea fish from the bag, opened his mouth, and took a bite of raw fish. He devoured it in big, hearty bites.

While eating, the bald, robust man fell into contemplation.

He was Venom, born on Planet Sakaar, several galaxies away from Earth. Guided by some mysterious force, he came to Earth to find the meaning of his existence.

Of course, Venom arrived on Earth half a year ago. It lived in a local indigenous village in Africa for two to three months, stayed in Asia for a few months, transferred to Europe for a few months, changed hosts five times during that period, and became familiar with and integrated into human society on Earth. 

Finally, following a faint clue, it arrived in the United States, in New York, just a few days ago.

When Venom arrived in the New York City area, it sensed the unique aura of its only kin. It had hoped to quickly unravel some mysteries on its own, but the sudden extraterrestrial invasion disrupted the key aura with the arrival of several Symbiotes, throwing the area into chaos.

Now, Symbiote lifeforms from different regions gathered in New York City, attracting and repelling each other, making it challenging to distinguish.

"I can only find them one by one and eliminate them. I hope you carry the message I need on you." Venom finished devouring the sea fish with an expressionless look on his face.

The distance from Planet Sakaar to Earth, decades of wandering through the starry sky, none of these could stop its pace. There was no reason for it to halt at mere fellow kin.

Whoever blocked its way, would be killed.

Puente Antiguo.

Returning to the town, Kyle headed straight to the agreed-upon restaurant. Upon opening the door, he found not only Darcy's trio at the corner table but also Thor, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, joining them.

"Hey, Carl, over here!" Darcy's seat faced the door, and she was the first to spot Kyle, excitedly waving to him.

As Kyle approached, Erik had already vacated a seat, respectfully and ingratiatingly saying, "Mr. Carl, I've already arranged for the chef to prepare your meal. I'll have it heated and brought over."

"Morning, Carl," Stacy greeted with a smile, having finished chewing her food.

"Morning." Kyle nodded and took the seat next to Thor without hesitation.

Thor, famished, was still stuffing beef into his mouth. Seeing the three's enthusiastic attitude towards Kyle, he couldn't help but glare with a pair of indignant eyes.

"Wait a minute, how come the treatment for him and me is so different!?"

Chapter 310: Chapter 308 Kyle and Thor

"Che. You're just a homeless person. Kyle is an urban elite. How can there be a comparison between you two?" Darcy immediately retorted Thor, crossing her arms over her chest and grumbling, "And let me remind you, everything you're wearing and eating right now is coming from our pockets. Don't expect too much."

"Why am I a homeless person? Ignorant mortals," Thor said, swallowing the beef in his mouth, and wiping the grease off his mouth. 

He picked up a chicken leg, his rugged face showing a serious look, and said with a touch of majesty, "Let me reiterate. I am Thor, the son of the almighty Odin, the one who wields thunder, the future ruler of the Nine Realms."

The people at the table remained calm as if they were accustomed to it, silently bowing their heads to continue their meal.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Thor couldn't help but feel a bit dejected. Everywhere he went, he was accompanied by awe and submission from various extraterrestrial races. Now, on Earth, he was even inferior to humans.

"Alright, just eat. We can talk after you're full," Stacy reassured.

Thor remained silent and reluctantly started chewing on the chicken leg in his hand.

Kyle shook his head silently. Thor had indeed lost all his godly powers now, and even his physique had become as weak as an ordinary human. Even deliberately revealing his divine power couldn't expose his identity.

Kyle could see the Purple Ability Card representing the godly realm on Thor's body, but at the moment, the card emitted no brilliance, and it was in a dull and ineffective Seal state.

Could Odin Seal a Purple-Quality Ability Card, or could he only Seal godly powers related to the Asgardians?

Kyle contemplated silently before he raised his eyebrows, and compared to beings like Odin or the Ancient One, he could clearly see the vast gap between him and the top-tier cosmic powerhouses.

Regarding card quality, above purple is gold, and above gold is colorless quality. Each step upward represents a significant leap.

Kyle temporarily equated purple quality to a planetary level, meaning that having a Purple Ability Card would already make one formidable on a planet. Possessing a rare purple-prefix Ability Card would place one at the current Earth's combat power ceiling.

He, Hulk, and Thor with his Recoved ability were currently in this semi-invulnerable realm.

The reason it was semi-invulnerable was mainly because holders of gold or higher-quality Ability Cards were extremely rare in this vast universe. But rarity didn't mean nonexistence...

Kyle chewed his meal slowly, contemplating the situation. Suddenly, a strong and powerful arm reached over, warmly resting on his shoulder.

Thor, with a cup in his other hand, gulped down a large beer. Boisterously, he smashed the glass on the floor, laughing heartily, "Not bad. Another round!"

The sound of the glass shattering, along with the cheers, attracted the curious gazes of the other customers and waitstaff in the restaurant. The group at the corner table instantly became the center of attention.

"Um, we'll cover the cost," Darcy hurriedly intervened.

Darcy stared at Thor with dissatisfaction and lowered her voice, "Come on, can't you stop breaking things? You keep talking about being Odin's son, being a god, but all you do is smash things."

"Alright, I'll try to control myself," Thor admitted his wrongdoing, sighing awkwardly.

"Another round, shall we? Here, drink up." Kyle smiled, pushing the untouched beer towards Thor.

"Good, I've made a friend in you." Thor's eyes lit up, patting Kyle's shoulder vigorously. With a raised glass, he downed the beer in a series of hearty gulps.

Darcy and Jane were initially worried that Thor, being a bit too forceful, might accidentally harm Kyle with his hearty pats. To their surprise, they found Kyle's face remained calm and he did not budge an inch even under Thor's strong pats.

Thor, with his arm around Kyle, suddenly remembered something and inquired, "By the way, you guys mentioned earlier that this is Earth, right?"

Faced with this seemingly idiotic question, Darcy rolled her eyes. "Yes, what's wrong now?"

"Nothing. If this is Earth, I have an old friend who should be living here." Thor took a deep breath, slightly hopeful, and asked, "Do you guys know Kyle?"

With Thor's question, the entire restaurant fell silent again, followed by many people secretly shaking their heads and chuckling.

Darcy sighed, treating it as a joke. "Are you sure... Mr. Kyle is your old friend? Wait a minute, what we said might not be the same person."

"What's wrong? Isn't he the one with silver hair? He looks young and handsome, with a bit of my former charm," Thor boasted, pointing at Kyle beside him. "Looks a bit like him."

"Many people say that." Seeing a few gazes directed at him, Kyle smiled calmly, revealing no emotions.

Jane withdrew her gaze and said to Thor, "If you're talking about the Symbol of Peace, don't say whether we know him or not. I guess almost everyone in this world knows him."

"Symbol of Peace? That must be him. He became the guardian of Asgard as a mortal, and he is mighty," Thor said. This statement struck a chord with Kyle, making him feel quite pleased. He couldn't help but marvel at not wasting time to come here specifically.

Thor happily continued, "Since you know him, do you have Kyle's contact information? Like a phone number? We can call him now, and I am sure that he will come here for me."

'I am receiving you well right now, aren't I?' Kyle silently thought in his heart.

Darcy continued her sarcastic remarks, spreading her hands. "Everyone, I think we should take him back to the hospital. He seems to have a severe case of delusional disorder."

Jane nodded in agreement this time. Contact Symbol of Peace and ask him to come out. Probably not many people in the world could do that.

Erik, returning just in time to overhear the conversation, smiled as if joking, "Alright, I'll foot the bill for this meal. Consider it a treat for Mr. Kyle, who is far away in New York."

"Thanks, Doc!" Darcy cheered with joy.

Jane frowned slightly, silently looking at Kyle, Thor, and Erik. At that moment, it seemed like she grasped something, but it wasn't fully confirmed yet.

After all, if the speculation were true, it would be too sensational!

...

New York, residential area, rental building.

Eddie was sound asleep on his bed with drool hanging from the corner of his mouth, dreaming of marrying Ms. Perfect as a rising journalist.

Suddenly, the room— or rather, the entire building— shook violently, as if in an earthquake. All the furniture and lights were swaying left and right.

"Snap!"

When the bedside alarm clock fell to the ground, Eddie woke up from his dream. Rolling out of bed like a fish, he instinctively looked for his slippers to put on.

Before he could put on his shoes, another loud noise echoed, accompanied by a strong shaking sensation coming from the adjacent room.

"What are they doing next door? Demolition?"

Eddie panicked, wearing only zebra-patterned boxer shorts and slippers, he rushed to the doorway.
