"Ahhh!!!"
A child's pained scream echoed through the New York night, carrying far.
The moment his body was parasitized by the Symbiote, the boy clutched his head with both hands, his eyes tinged with a gray-green color, and he knelt on the ground in extreme agony.
"Get away from him!"
Someone yelled in terror, and people immediately retreated in a panic. Centered around the boy, who was now parasitized by a bizarre monster, everyone except Mei backed away more than ten meters.
"Peter, are you okay? Don't scare Mei..."
In the now empty space, Mei was both scared and worried. She reached out to help the kneeling boy, but with her strength, she couldn't pull up the young body.
The boy, still kneeling with his head down, his face obscured, and his hands on the ground, his pained cries and physical struggles grew weaker, trending towards an unsettling calm.
This calm, however, sent shivers down the spines of those nearby!
Twenty meters away.
"He switched to a boy as a new host?"
Composite Vincent felt a hint of surprise at the second Symbiote's almost desperate choice, but he didn't let it stop his decisive and cold offensive.
Pop!
Sharp, hardened dark tentacles pierced the air, striking at Peter, the boy parasitized by the second Symbiote.
At this moment, Venom's voice echoed in his mind: "Something's not right. I can vaguely sense that the human child's physique is different from that of ordinary humans!"
As if in response to what the Symbiote Venom said, just before the tentacle spike was about to hit, the boy's small hand shot up like lightning, firmly grabbing the high-speed, lethal tentacle!
The tip of the dark, hardened tentacle stopped abruptly, hovering about one centimeter in front of Peter's chest.
"Jie jie!!"
A hoarse, chilling sound emerged as the boy, gripping the tentacle, let out an inhuman sneer. Gray-green viscous liquid began to seep from his entire body, rapidly expanding, twisting, deforming, and hardening... forming a more complete and tough gray-green parasitic body and skin!
The whole scene looked as if Peter's body had undergone a mature deformation, turning into a nearly two-meter-tall gray-green alien monster.
Gray-green, tall, and the sense of power evident from his solid muscles alone... this reminded Vincent of Abomination.
However, there were still significant differences from Abomination's appearance.
The form displayed by the second Symbiote parasitizing the boy was lithe and not bloated, with a tough, elongated feel to its arms and legs, especially with a pale white Venom Spider pattern on its chest and back.
"I didn't expect such a powerful physique to exist among humans!!" Looking down at its gray-green palm, which it had clenched, the Venom Spider grinned ferociously, baring its mouth to reveal a scarlet long tongue, and a wave of heat emanated from its strong, deformed body.
After parasitizing the human child Peter, the Symbiote's abilities were, for the first time, displayed to their fullest extent!
It felt more powerful than ever before!
And it proved to be true.
The Venom Spider had just tried it out and easily fended off the tentacle attack launched by Venom's host! That was a terrifying attack that it originally had no way of resisting!
This made it feel even more— "I'm stable!"
"I can do it again!"
"With this body as a host, I am the true boss among Symbiotes!" The Venom Spider was incredibly excited, licking its sharp, ugly fangs.
"Peter, Peter."
A woman's tragic and trembling voice came from nearby.
"You're not Peter." Mei looked at the nearby Venom Spider, forcing herself not to retreat despite her fear, and sobbed, "Monster, give Peter back to me."
"Jie jie! I'll kill you first, then wipe out Venom and his host!" The Venom Spider sneered with a ferocious expression, raising its gray-green palm and swinging it towards the crying woman's face.
At this moment, a hoarse, cold voice suddenly rang out from the front: "Had enough of grabbing?"
"Hmm?!"
Before the Venom Spider's palm could fully strike, it realized with a shock that the tentacle it had been gripping suddenly wrapped back around its hand.
Hand in hand, but not friendly or pleasant.
In that instant, the Venom Spider felt an indescribable, terrifying force truly and unmistakably transmit from the dark tentacle, forcibly pulling its entire reinforced and armored body over!
Vincent's extended tentacle dragged the Venom Spider upwards, tossing it nearly thirty meters into the air, then forcefully slammed it back down onto the ground below!
Bang!!
The earth trembled and groaned.
The Venom Spider smashed into the ground, sending debris flying, creating a several-meter-deep crater in the street!
"Damn it!!"
Covered in dirt, the Venom Spider roared in fury as it burst out of the crater. With a flick of its wrist, it shot out two gray-green strands of spider web, fixing them to the tentacle railing behind Vincent. With a violent tug on the webs, the Venom Spider performed an extremely fast low-altitude slide, kicking wildly at Vincent!
The black cat remained motionless, crouched on the ground. With one hand still embedded in the ground forming a tentacle railing, its tail suddenly whipped forward with fierce force!
The air exploded!
With a "smack," the Venom Spider was quickly swatted away like a fly.
"How is this possible!" Its body made intimate contact with the ground once more, and the Venom Spider was completely stunned.
Why?
Even though it had become many times stronger, it still couldn't compare to Venom's host in terms of strength, speed, deformation, and other superpowers!
Or rather.
In its symbiotic form, after parasitizing the human boy with spider abilities, the second Symbiote could truly appreciate the terrifying strength of Composite Vincent!
Who exactly was the monster?
The Venom Spider leaped up at extreme speed, shooting spider webs towards a distant tall building. Seeing that it couldn't defeat Vincent, it decided to continue with its strategy—escape!
But the dark tentacles were even faster!
The tentacles quickly wrapped around the Venom Spider's foot. The increasingly impatient and violent Vincent dragged it, tossing and slamming it repeatedly between the night sky and the ground!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Venom Spider was tossed and slammed countless times.
Vincent then calmed down slightly and released the tentacles. In front of him, the gray-green armored body was largely melted, like a damaged vehicle leaking green oil, unable to maintain a complete armored combat stance.
The scene could only be described with one word—miserable!
"Is there still hope for its host?" Vincent asked coldly, barely maintaining a shred of rationality.
Venom's demonic whisper echoed: "Hard to say. The boy's physique is indeed special, but he's too young. It just depends on whether he can reclaim control of his own body."
He grinned ferociously: "My advice is, don't drag it out. Just eliminate the host along with it!"
Vincent said nothing, and the tentacles began to transform into a giant scythe, hovering above the Venom Spider's head.
His human rationality was almost gone; the three-in-one him was becoming increasingly bloodthirsty and cold!
