บท 308: Chapter 306 Symbiote Invasion
The hammer touched the desert floor with a slight disturbance of sand, leaning against the ground at a slant. After the divine power was withdrawn, it reverted to its original, simple appearance.
"Are you just leaving the hammer here?" Vis felt a bit regretful. After all, this was Thor's hammer, a perfectly intact offensive and auxiliary Divine Weapon.
"What else can I do? Take it home? Forget Thor going berserk, Odin might show up at my door. This is a problem waiting to happen," Kyle was not at all regretful about leaving it here as he had already seen through the situation.
Thor's hammer.
This was a Divine Weapon specially crafted by Odin for Thor's growth from a child to the King.
If anyone else wanted to claim it, they had to ask Thor for permission. Even if Thor agreed, Odin wouldn't easily let the hammer, symbolizing the throne of the Asgard, fall into someone else's hands.
Moreover, this hammer was specifically designed for Thor's lightning-based divine power. As a fire god, Kyle had no reason to argue with Odin over this Divine Weapon.
"Divine Weapons with specific attributes are hard to come by, but for now, the Eternal Flame can make do," Kyle turned around. Seeing that the sun had risen, he spread his dark wings, preparing to return to town. Unexpectedly, Vis abruptly issued an electric prompt, "Master, there's a call for you, from home."
"Home?" Kyle didn't think too much and nodded to accept the call.
With a beep, the watch transformed by Vis projected a light that formed an elegant upper body model of a woman. With an Eastern-style face, exquisitely perfect, and long black hair, it was a flawless projection of Raina.
"Boss, according to your time there, it's time to say 'good morning,'" Raina greeted with a slight smile as she saw Kyle's projection.
"What's up, speak," Kyle looked at Raina's projected figure.
Raina didn't beat around the bush either and explained, "Just a few hours ago, an ordinary person came to the agency, claiming to have witnessed a meteor fall on the outskirts of New York at night and even filmed a video with decent clarity. I sent a Card Member to the scene for exploration and found obvious traces of a return of a lifepod to the ground, as well as tire marks from different vehicles receiving the lifepod."
"Interestingly, I checked with Natasha, and using SHIELD's resources, we couldn't find out which country's space lifepod it was."
If it couldn't be found openly, it could mean that the lifepod came from outer space or was a privately owned item not associated with any country.
Understanding this point, Kyle snapped his fingers, saying, "Continue."
Vis and Venom, both were unusually interested in such events and listened quietly.
"If it were in other regions, it might take some time to search, but the fleet that received the lifepod comes from within New York City," Raina said, raising her eyebrows with a smile. Even Kyle couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
New York? I wonder who's in charge of New York now?
Carl Family, SHIELD, Stark Industries – when these three were densely intertwined, in New York City, whether in plain sight or in secret, the Carl Family was the undisputed ruler.
Without looking at the data files, Raina, with her superhuman memory, recited, "So, I quickly traced the origin of the lifepod and the fleet to a large private company called the 'Life Foundation' in Queens, New York. The owner is Carlton Drake.
About six months ago, they jointly invested billions of dollars to create aerospace equipment and are enthusiastic about genetic mutations caused by cosmic radiation."
Kyle stroked his chin, squinting, and said, "They are just a private enterprise with no special background. Since you've found the source, you must have already taken action and obtained some internal information, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have specifically notified me."
"Of course," Raina lifted her smooth chin, like an encouraged schoolgirl. With a gentle wave of her hand, she hinted, "This is a video of an internal secret captured by my agent, infiltrating the Life Foundation company and extracting it from the internal archive."
The 3D projection changed frequencies, and Kyle began to receive and play the video content.
In the video.
The camera was focused on a fully enclosed research room with toughened glass and a closed floor. Various devices and instruments were arranged inside, with a ragged-looking man inside. Outside the room, many staff members wearing suits or protective clothing were gathered.
"What do you want to do to me? Let me go from this!" The ragged-looking man's face twisted in anger as he looked at the crowd treating him as an experiment, violently banging on the glass door with both hands.
"Let's begin," A middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit decisively said outside.
A female staff member raised her hand and quietly voiced her opinion, "Boss, the Symbiote should be studied separately, not subjected to human experiments right now."
"Only through human experiments can we communicate with them more quickly. If you don't want to do it, you can leave." The man referred to as the 'boss' retorted coldly, then continued, "Start it now!"
"Yes." The remaining staff members responded promptly, taking their positions and operating computers to activate the switch.
In the research lab, a storage device emitted a slight sound, accompanied by a slowly rising white smoke.
"What on earth is that?"
The ragged-looking man shivered as he turned around, catching sight of a mass of black-gray liquid, seemingly possessing life and consciousness, flowing out from the storage unit and approaching his body on the floor.
'Pū!'
While the ragged-looking man was still screaming in terror, the black-gray liquid adhered to his feet, crawled up to his chest, and finally seeped into his clothes, disappearing into his body.
"Look, it worked!"
The boss excitedly punched the air, but his joy was short-lived as the ragged-looking man suddenly collapsed in the lab, convulsing in painful groans, and within three seconds, the struggling figure turned into a lifeless body.
After a while, the ragged-looking man's mouth opened, and the black-gray liquid gushed out, fiercely hitting the glass door like an angry force.
"Failed." The boss's smile froze on his face, sighed, and said in a stern voice, "Continue human experiments! Also, aside from the one we have, retrieve the three Symbiotes that escaped during transportation!"
The video ended at this point.
Raina's projection recovered, and seeing Kyle's serious expression, she asked, "Boss, do you know about these lifeforms called Symbiotes?"
"It's more than just knowing," Kyle spoke, and Venom on his body became restless.
"Si...milar?" Venom mumbled to itself.
Kyle frowned, pondering, "So Heimdall was mentioning this when he said that something from outer space coming to Earth. I didn't expect it to be these extraterrestrial lifeforms."
Symbiote lifeforms!
Apart from Venom derived from the Extracting Card System, the offspring Carnage, and now evidently more than four others, with three out of control in the New York area!
Ignoring these life forms would not end well for anyone!
