Chapter 184 Symbiote Hero: Overkill
On Earth.
Loki opened his eyes from meditation, a ferocious and angry expression on his face.
He couldn't tolerate the War Lord's disrespect, but what made him even stranger were the War Lord's words.
"A poor wretch who's being controlled?"
'What does that mean?'
He recalled all his past experiences: usurping the throne, trying to kill Thor, being exiled, falling to Sakaar and becoming a slave...
Afterward, Ben Parker became the King of Sakaar. Loki pretended to submit and joined the Galactic Plumbers.
It wasn't until this departure that he found the universe-renowned Thanos, wanting to use Thanos's power to help him deal with Ben.
This was because he had never forgotten how Ben Parker defeated him on Earth and took away the Casket of Ancient Winters that belonged to him.
All memories were fine.
He was seeking revenge!
And Thanos happened to have his own needs.
The two hit it off immediately. He told Thanos about Ben Parker's power and promised to act as a spy, lurking by his side. Once Earth's military forces were all drawn away by the Chitauri from the cosmos, he would activate the Tesseract and send three of the Black Order directly to Earth.
As for Ben, he would also be transferred away from Earth in advance.
Because at this very moment, in Jotunheim, within the Giant Kingdom, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive had already gone to hunt down Looma.
By then, no one on Earth would be able to stop Thanos's advance.
He would present the Tesseract to Thanos, and in exchange, Thanos would grant him Earth, making him the King of Earth!
Loki mused.
But for some reason, he felt something was off.
Especially after returning to Earth this time, he found that upon seeing Ben, he didn't feel much anger or fear. Seeing the dejected Thor, he didn't feel happy as usual.
Was he really seeking revenge against him?
If not, why did he submit to him on Sakaar?
Did he truly desire to become king?
If so, why did he feel grief rather than happiness upon seeing the dejected Thor?
But no matter what, Loki knew he was about to become the King of Earth.
Not many in this universe could stop Thanos's advance. Perhaps Odin could, but Odin was old, he had become cowardly, unwilling to wage war, and only wanted to stay in his own small corner of Asgard, ignoring everything within the Nine Realms.
The aged Odin, the disqualified Thor...
Besides himself, who else was worthy of being king?
Loki thought.
But The Hammer of Thor still didn't acknowledge him.
He suddenly wanted to know how Ben Parker became the King of Sakaar.
The other side of the universe.
Thanos, clad in golden Battle Armor, sat on his lonely and empty Throne.
Supergiant wore silver-gray clothes, her face hidden by a white robe.
At this moment, she remained silent, with only a yellow Infinity Stone floating in the void between her hands.
"He's struggling."
Supergiant said.
She was referring to Loki.
"It seems we underestimated this Asgardian's will," Thanos slowly opened his eyes, a disdainful smile appearing on his face, "But no one can resist the power of the Stones."
Thanos, who knew the immense power of the Infinity Stones, didn't believe Loki had the ability to escape the Mind Stone's control.
The power the Stones could unleash was closely related to the strength of their wielder.
And as it happened, Supergiant herself possessed powerful Mind Control abilities.
This time, Thanos's target was the Space Stone.
Due to the fluctuations released by the awakening of the Space Stone, he had used the resonance between the Stones to pinpoint its location.
Actually, with Loki as a spy, obtaining the Space Stone wouldn't be difficult.
That Earthling named Ben Parker seemed to trust Loki implicitly, so getting the Tesseract wouldn't be hard.
But Thanos didn't plan to stop after obtaining the Stone.
Up until now, he had invaded countless planets, offering countless lives to Death.
Earth would be no exception.
This was what he intended to do.
Then, he asked, "What about Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight?"
Ebony Maw stepped forward. He looked like a hunched old man, his fingers, long and dry like bamboo segments, pressed together.
"They will reach Jotunheim soon. I believe with their strength, they will surely bring that Tetramand before you."
Ebony Maw said respectfully.
Hearing this, Thanos was very satisfied.
The combined strength of Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight was not weaker than his own.
He was very interested in the so-called Tetramand mentioned by Loki, as it was the first time he had heard of this race.
Perhaps this life would be more appealing to Death.
Thanos was not sure.
But he was at least certain that the life of the Tetramand would be attractive to the incredibly powerful Ben Parker, whom Loki had spoken of.
"What about Gamora?"
"She is currently searching for the Universal Orb for you."
"Very good."
On the throne, Thanos's eyes closed again, as if falling asleep.
The tall Black Dwarf standing beside Ebony Maw opened his mouth. He looked at Thanos, who had fallen silent, and seemed to want to say something, but dared not speak further.
He was wondering why the great Thanos wasn't talking to him.
Thanos: I don't want to talk to an idiot.
At this moment.
On Jotunheim.
Amidst an endless white blizzard, icy mountains and giants surrounded Looma layer by layer.
Looma held a heavy hammer, appearing like the only faint flame in the storm that could engulf the entire planet.
Countless giants surrounded her.
Yet, she showed no fear.
Because at her feet, more giants had already fallen.
Facing the encirclement of countless giants, Looma said unhappily, "I only wanted one Ice and Snow Creature, not so many. Aren't you cold, frozen lumps a bit too enthusiastic?"
"Release our King!"
The Frost Giants immediately roared at her.
Looma indeed only wanted to capture one Frost Giant, but adhering to the principle of capturing the best and strongest if one were to capture, she had her eyes set on the King of the Frost Giants, Laufey.
At this moment, Laufey was unaware that it was his own son who had led Looma to him.
But it didn't matter anymore, because he had already completely fainted.
"This is my prey!"
The ancient ice beneath Looma's feet shattered. The next moment, crimson lightning erupted from her body, the electric light coiling around the iron-grey heavy hammer like lightning snakes.
Someone was trying to steal her prey.
Then it was time for war!
Looma was not afraid, for she had also learned the Old Power.
In theory, anyone could learn this power, but in reality, it depended on talent. Loki himself had tried to learn it from Caiera, but he couldn't activate this power.
Looma's talent could be said to be the best among the Tetramands. Only the optimized genes of Four Arms could surpass her.
Therefore, under the tutelage of Ben and Caiera, Looma also learned the Old Power.
And like Four Arms, the Old Power she mastered was also crimson.
*BOOM!!*
The lightning sang—
At the same time, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight's ship was also approaching Jotunheim.
Earth.
Under the night sky, a few shooting stars streaked across, splitting in mid-air and scattering like fireworks.
These were the Symbiotes who had escaped in pods.
Before the Chitauri's destructive attack arrived, they had managed to escape and warp, reaching Earth ahead of time.
However, because the escape pods were independent, they separated in mid-air.
Especially Venom, that guy seemed to deliberately leave the Symbiote group, flying in the opposite direction.
"Screw you, Agent of the Cosmos, I'm not doing that!"
Inside the escape pod, Venom spewed profanity.
"I want to find the most crowded place and pick out a few prime brains to eat!"
He licked his lips, saying evilly.
At the same time, he locked his target on New York City.
It wasn't for any other reason than his previous host, that idiot in the red suit with the rotten ass, was from New York.
Venom didn't like Deadpool at all.
Even though he was considered a lunatic by all Symbiotes, Deadpool was still a crazier lunatic than him.
But Symbiotes and hosts influenced each other.
He met Deadpool in a place where space was warped. After a brief contact with that guy, Deadpool's madness infected him, this innocent and cute little baby, like Cthulhu.
Thus, Venom fell.
Not only did he fall, but he also inherited some of Deadpool's emotions.
—That was the obsession with Spider-Man.
Of course, he didn't know about Spider-Man's existence yet. However, fate seemed to guide every Venom across the multiverse to Spider-Man's doorstep.
Perhaps this was the power of the great Spider Totem.
It's just that...
When Venom widened his color-changing eyes, the same kind as Belial's, and looked at the person in the Spider Suit before him, Venom felt that something was not quite right.
This guy in front of him didn't seem to be the person he was looking for.
Looking at Ben Parker in the all-black Spider Suit, Venom felt no genetic elation. Instead, he felt a sense of fear and unease.
"Sorry... I think I've got the wrong person..."
Venom was like a moving black snot. The moment he saw Ben, all his slime felt uncomfortable, and he trembled with awkwardness.
Now, he was trying to carefully retreat, trying to disappear from Ben's sight.
However, Ben raised his hand and covered him with a glass dome.
To be honest, even Ben was a little stunned when he saw Venom.
He had been out with Black Cat all night. Just as he was heading home, he suddenly saw something fall from the sky.
When he reached the crash site, he saw Venom flowing out of the escape pod.
And then...
"Gene assimilation successful."
"Parasitic List activated—Overkill loaded successfully."
Thanks to Daerb for the 500-point tip. I didn't get the name wrong this time, hehe.
