"Do you know anything about your employer?" Syd asked with a frown.
Jack shook his head.
Syd pondered for a moment, quickly suspecting who might be behind this.
"The people from the experimental base?"
He didn't bother to think further. It could only be a few individuals, and he would have his chance to get back at them eventually!
As he moved his fingers, ready to send a black particle into each of these two, a faint noise came from not far away.
Hmm?
Syd turned to look, puzzled.
He saw an orange cat meowing and approaching him.
At first, he didn't pay much attention and was about to continue his action.
But before he could make a move, the cat's unusual behavior caught his eye.
A shadow flickered in the cat's yellow eyes, and a small blob of black liquid oozed from its forehead.
In Syd's peripheral vision, he saw the black substance leap from the cat and land on his right hand.
Syd was shocked at first, then quickly realized what it was.
"Venom?!"
His mind raced, recalling what he knew about this thing.
An alien organism, a symbiote, that needed to attach to other organisms to survive on Earth.
Once bonded with a host, it could unleash incredible power...
The most famous instance was when it attached to Spider-Man, forming a Venom suit that led to Peter's dark transformation.
Of course, there were several versions of Venom, and he wasn't sure if this one was the same as the one that bonded with Spider-Man.
But regardless, bonding with this thing wasn't all benefits; there were drawbacks too.
Syd didn't dare take this lightly.
Seeing Venom on his hand and even seeping into his arm, he panicked and instinctively drove his internal photon energy to counter it.
"Ah..."
A faint scream came from his arm as Venom was forced out by the burning light energy.
Watching this from a distance, Jack and Albert were stunned.
The Venom, burned by the photon energy, was equally shocked.
Initially, it thought it had just found an ordinary human, but then... no?
At first, it had a casual attitude, thinking it could use this boy's body for a while. But when it entered the boy's body, it was completely astonished!
It felt an unprecedented power!
This boy's body was different from ordinary people. Not only did his cells contain mysterious unknown factors, but his flesh also had a special energy attached to it!
It had a sunny quality, giving Venom a warm feeling...
Of course, that was before the boy activated his energy. Once activated, all Venom felt was a burning sensation, forcing it to leave his body.
Even though it was only a brief fusion, Venom felt a comfort it had never experienced before. That feeling made it crave more!
The sensation of being filled with power was intoxicating!
Filled with urgency, Venom wanted to re-enter the boy's body.
But before it could act, Syd frowned and spoke, "Venom?"
Venom paused in surprise, its small head morphing and asking, "Human, how do you know my name?"
"An alien lifeform?" Syd continued, "A symbiote?"
"You..."
Venom was both puzzled and shocked at having its origins exposed.
It swore it didn't know this boy, and he shouldn't know about Venom or symbiotes!
Nearby, Jack and Albert, still in shock, looked at the black liquid, hearing Syd's words.
An alien lifeform?!
What the hell is going on in this world?
They were in disbelief.
"Human, how do you know so much? Who are you?" Venom asked in astonishment.
Syd calmly replied, "I know more than just your name. I know a lot about symbiotes. But never mind how I know. Now, leave my body, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Venom, initially stunned by the information, quickly regained its composure, urgently saying, "No, no, human, don't drive me away!"
"I'm Venom. I'm a symbiote. Bond with me, human!"
Syd shook his head.
Venom grew more desperate, "Please, together we'll be the strongest, the most powerful! No one can defeat us! We will become kings!"
"Stay away from me," Syd said, frowning, grabbing the sticky substance and throwing it far away.
But as soon as he threw it, the substance wriggled back towards him like a desperate puppy.
"No, don't abandon me, please, human!" Venom pleaded, its tiny face full of desperation.
