"Wow, YUMMY…"
"This is the first time I've eaten metal this delicious!"
"Delicious! Flavorful!"
Dante rolled his eyes, watching the smug Venom.
It was more than just delicious and flavorful.
Something even more exciting was coming.
It is well-known that the Symbiote race, after devouring something, can replicate its characteristics and abilities.
The biggest characteristic of yaka metal is…
It resonates with sound and can be controlled by sound waves.
And Venom has two major weaknesses.
Those are Fire and sound waves.
Dante, with a smile, materialized a…
Suona.
Meanwhile, Venom was staring eagerly at the red, orange, and green lights.
"What's up, Dante, is this thing delicious too? I've eaten something called Skittles before…"
"Mmm, delicious, absolutely delicious."
Dante gave Venom a reassuring smile, then brought the suona to his lips…
And played "The Avengers."
The sharp, high-pitched suona reverberated throughout the Base.
Everyone dropped what they were doing and ran out to see…
What kind of major illness Dante had contracted this time!
"I really want to stab him twice, I finally managed to fall asleep!"
Skye looked at Dante floating mid-air, her face full of resentment.
Her infatuation had long since been completely cured after she got to know him in depth.
What good was being handsome?
He was crazy!
No wonder he hit it off with Harley Quinn!
"At least you can still sleep." Bruce dragged his tired body to the training ground. "I've been collaborating with Tony Stark recently. I just pulled an all-nighter in the lab and almost got sent away by that sound."
After speaking, Bruce could no longer withstand the deep sense of fatigue, and his body went limp, falling to the ground.
Upon seeing this, not a single person stepped forward to help him.
Instead, they all retreated a few steps.
This was truly not a lack of team spirit, but rather…
The moment Bruce knelt, he had already transformed into the Hulk.
The ground itself cracked where he knelt!
"Banner! Weakling! Hulk! Strong!"
"Alright, alright, we all know you are the strongest." Wade Wilson, wearing baggy shorts, walked up and patted the Hulk's thick arm. "But Bruce forgot to wear those special nano-material pants."
After he finished speaking, everyone's gaze focused on the Hulk's big green butt.
"Banner! Fool! Not as smart as the Hulk!"
After the Hulk finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but everyone rushed forward and held him down.
"No, no, no! Don't stand up yet!"
"We'll go get them for you!"
"You cover yourself tightly with your hands! Don't let it show!"
With the Hulk's disruption, everyone's attention was diverted.
So no one saw Venom rolling around on the ground like a drunk Jackie Chan under the sound of Dante's suona.
"Dante! What did you feed me?!"
"It hurts so much!"
"But I have to move!"
However, Venom's wails did not awaken the humanity of this grandson, Dante. Instead, he blew even harder.
Venom felt his body was about to disintegrate at one point.
But as the suona music continued, Venom's body reacted less and less.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Dante's mouth as he played the suona.
He truly lived up to his reputation as the most adaptable creature in the entire Marvel Universe. Even his fatal weaknesses, as long as he swallowed something with the corresponding characteristics, could be completely adapted to in a few minutes.
From today onwards, Venom's weakness to sound waves would no longer exist.
If this were a Japanese RPG, a dialogue box should pop up above Venom's head at this moment.
It would read: "[Sound Wave Weakness] Removed, New Trait [Sound Wave Immunity] Added."
And as Venom gained sound wave immunity, the surging immense energy within him, which had been wildly thrashing around, rapidly integrated with his body.
Including Carnage himself, the energy of a full one hundred Symbiotes was something even Venom couldn't digest all at once.
But the remaining portion was no longer enough to affect Venom's normal actions.
"How about it? Didn't I tell you that what I gave you was good stuff?"
"It was good… but it would be even better if you didn't make me suffer so much next time."
Venom felt a bit numb all over just thinking about the painful yet pleasurable experience he had just gone through.
"There's indeed more to eat, but it won't make you suffer." Dante grinned, speaking as if it were true. "Come, come, try the taste of uru metal."
After Dante finished speaking, he took out a cube-shaped piece of uru metal from his pocket space.
He weighed it in his hand, then directly threw it to Venom.
"What kind of metal is this? It won't hurt like that last stuff, will it?"
"I just said it wouldn't make you suffer, and I always keep my word. Do I look like someone who would trick a Symbiote?"
"You have a point. Giving me so much to eat, you must be a good person."
Hearing this, Venom had no doubts and unhesitatingly wrapped the entire piece of uru metal into his dark body.
"Hmm? This metal is so hard… and the energy it contains is something I've never seen before!"
"Very novel, isn't it?" Dante began to show an evil smile. "Taste more, what else do you feel?"
"This metal also has some strange patterns. After replicating these patterns… I seem to have learned some powers."
Dante twitched the corner of his mouth.
After replicating, he could learn Rune magic… this learning ability was truly bugged.
But…
This was not the biggest reason Dante made him eat the uru metal.
It is well-known that Thor's hammer was forged primarily from uru metal in Nidavellir's stellar forge.
It naturally has the ability to contain and absorb divine power and various supernatural forces.
For example… lightning!
Seeing Venom begin to concentrate on devouring the uru metal block, Dante raised both hands…
Lightning manipulation!
Instantly, dark clouds gathered in mid-air, and even Venom realized something was wrong.
"Dante, is something else going to happen? Why are such heavy dark clouds gathered only above this Base?"
"Oh, this is to help you better digest the uru metal."
"I feel like your smile is a bit creepy…"
"You ungrateful Symbiote! Who am I doing this for?!"
As Dante spoke, he swiped his finger downwards, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket suddenly struck down!
"Crack!"
"Ah!!!"
"Dante! If I ever believe that broken mouth of yours again, I'm not a Symbiote!"
Dante didn't care what this guy was saying at the moment. He enthusiastically directed the lightning to strike Venom in an eight-eight beat rhythm.
The power was controlled to a level that could hurt Venom but would definitely not severely injure him.
"Venom, I'm doing this for your own good."
"No pain, no gain!"
After all, to some extent, lightning and Fire can be equated.
Otherwise, why would something like a "Thunder Fire Sword" exist?
A Venom who has overcome the two major weaknesses of Fire and sound waves!
Dante couldn't even imagine how powerful he would be!
