At that moment, the scene fell into silence, with shock evident in everyone's eyes.

Eddie was equally unsettled. After obtaining Venom, even though he hadn't thought much about it, deep down, he felt special—until he encountered this person…

Unlike Venom's abilities, both the blue beam and the method of deflecting bullets seemed incredibly powerful. The stranger didn't do much; he merely raised his hand and resolved everything.

It was as if an overwhelming aura emanated from him, suffocating everyone, making any resistance seem futile…

Thomas and the others panted heavily, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, feeling the same pressure.

At the Life Foundation, Drake and the others were glued to the screen, their emotions in turmoil.

A more perfect being than a human-symbiote hybrid?

This astonishing aura and power seemed godlike!

The Venom inside Eddie took a long time to recover from the disbelief.

Such a powerful host?

This ability to effortlessly handle everything, how could this be human?

His other half had bonded with such a being?

Even though he didn't want to, Venom couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

While they were in shock, Syd's Venom recovered as the sonic device was destroyed.

The black liquid slowly wriggled out of Syd's right hand.

"I told you, you'd regret it!"

Venom's small face twisted into a slightly sinister smile.

He laughed, "I didn't give him power; he gave me power. You can't even imagine the feeling, the addictive sensation!"

Turning to Thomas and the others, he cackled, "Crawl, you worms, you can't win!"

"You can't fathom my host's power!"

Despite being stunned by the blue beam and bullet deflection, Venom was now basking in borrowed glory.

At the Life Foundation.

Drake hesitated for a moment before ordering through the communicator, "Open fire!"

Thomas and the guards, suppressing their fear, gritted their teeth and raised their guns.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Silver bullets spun and whistled towards their target.

Then, something even more suffocating happened.

The man in black didn't even raise his hand this time, standing quietly in place.

The bullets aimed at him suddenly reversed direction, reflecting back at the shooters!

[Rebound Shield Experience +1]...

"Ahh…"

Screams echoed continuously.

The more bullets they fired, the worse their plight, with some even getting shot in the heart by the reflected bullets, collapsing in convulsions.

Even those lightly injured were bleeding profusely, showing signs of blood loss.

At that moment, the man in black exuded an even more suffocating presence, filling everyone with despair.

Not only were the bullets ineffective, but the opponent didn't even move to neutralize them?

They had never felt such suffocation or such an invincible presence.

Even Venom on Eddie was wide-eyed and open-mouthed, clearly shocked by the scene.

Syd's Venom, despite his own shock, mocked, "Ha! Abandoned half, see? This is the power of my great host!"

"You…" Venom on Eddie felt both anger and jealousy.

At that moment, sirens were heard in the distance, indicating someone had called the police.

Hearing the sirens, the mysterious man in black moved slightly, starting to leave.

Seeing him leave, Eddie couldn't help but shout, "Who are you?"

The man in black turned to look at him, and in the shadow of the hood, a pair of dazzling golden eyes met his.

For a moment, Eddie felt as if he was looking into the eyes of a god.

When he came to his senses, the mysterious man had already walked away, leaving Venom's voice echoing distantly.

"We will meet again!"

"Look forward to it…"

The mysterious figure gradually disappeared from sight.

At that moment, a sound from nearby caught Eddie's attention. Before he could react, the Venom suit enveloped him again.

A bullet embedded itself into the suit.

"Humans!"

Venom roared angrily and, under the horrified gazes of Thomas and the others, charged at them.

Crunch, crunch…

A series of brain-crunching sounds followed.

When everything settled, only a pile of corpses remained.

At the Life Foundation.

Drake and his team, watching the battle, were both panicked and furious.

Drake slammed his fist on the table, his face filled with frustration.

Though it was Eddie who killed most of his men, the mysterious figure in black lingered in his mind.

Far from the battlefield, Eddie and Venom were having a conversation.

"Who is he?" Eddie wondered aloud.

He searched his memories, feeling a vague familiarity but unable to recall.

"Hmph, Eddie, why bother? My other half said we'd meet again. You'll find out then."

Venom taunted.

Eddie, looking at Venom's grim visage, asked, "What are you?"

"I am Venom," Venom circled Eddie, his voice hoarse. "Your body belongs to me."

"You just bit off someone's head?"

"I need to replenish my energy..."

"Listen carefully, Eddie. You didn't find us; we found you. You're like my steed." Venom declared ownership.

Eddie retorted while walking, "Like a parasite?"

"Your attitude towards me is very different from your other half's towards that guy in black. He seemed very attentive, like a shepherd dog…"

Eddie spoke bluntly.

Venom: "…"

Suddenly, he noticed something.

"Parasite? Eddie!"

Venom roared.

Their bickering continued.

"Where are you taking me?"

"We're going to find Drake's rocket. You know this person."

"How do you know I know him?"

"I know everything, Eddie."

"Really?"

"I know all about you. I'm in your head."

"When you're hungry, will you eat people again?"

"Very likely."

"Oh my God!"

"We came to Earth for food. Cooperate, and you'll live. That's my condition…"

Eddie felt conflicted.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Eddie looked at the caller ID; it was a colleague.

Answering, a female voice demanded, "Eddie, we've been waiting for you at the Life Foundation for a long time. Where are you?!"

Eddie replied awkwardly, "Let me explain…"

…

Meanwhile, the man in black Eddie had seen was walking through a secluded alley.
