American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Eddie Brock opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was his body tightly bound with restraints, and not far away, a magnificent cube that particularly attracted his attention.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Just as Eddie was immersed in that magnificence, a male voice rang out behind him, interrupting his concentration.

Eddie struggled to turn his head on the ground, and the first thing that caught his eye was several pairs of boots, and a pair of shiny leather shoes close at hand. He used the strength of his waist and abdomen to turn his body from a prone position, face up, and then he could see the person speaking clearly.

It was a man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked a little thin. He had a thick head of black hair with slight curls, and a delighted smile on his lips as he looked at the palm-sized cube not far away.

"Who are you? And what is that?" Eddie lay on his back on the ground, slightly sideways, looking up at the man beside him.

"That is the seed of a new world for humanity's future." The man did not introduce himself, but answered Eddie's second question.

"The seed of a new world?" Eddie asked as he scanned his surroundings. When he saw Venom lying in a transparent glass box inside a tempered glass enclosure, he felt inexplicably relieved, even though Venom wasn't on him at the moment.

"Prometheus stole fire for mankind, freeing them from darkness and cold and allowing them to eat warm food. It brought indelible功劳 to mankind's rule over this planet.

And this Rubik's Cube will open a new chapter for the human world. It can help us get out of this planet and expand the hunting ground to the entire galaxy and universe. Do you understand what this means?" The man looked down at him condescendingly.

"So, is that why you ordered people to capture homeless people for human experiments?" Eddie asked boldly. He felt that in this situation, the other party should not hide anything from him.

"Then you may be mistaken. I don't need to look for those poor homeless people anymore." The man smiled. "I know you, Eddie Brock, a reporter for the Daily Bugle, who just came to the big city a year and three months ago.

You used to work in California, but you were fired by your newspaper for offending the local giant corporation, the Life Foundation. But later you successfully brought down that company. I have to say, your resume and deeds are very impressive."

"You investigated me?" Eddie sighed.

"It's always necessary to investigate." The man looked sideways at the black liquid being held in the glass box. "After all, the sudden appearance of a monster at this time will always attract attention. It's obvious that there were other powerful forces helping you behind the scenes in that incident. There are many secrets to be dug out of you."

"Okay, okay, anyway, it looks like you won't let me leave. I just want to ask, what do you want to do?" Eddie's head was against the cold ground, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

"I just want you to join us." The man said with a smile.

"Join you? As long as I join, you'll let me leave safely?" Eddie blinked, a little incredulous.

"Yes, as long as you join us, you will be free." The man said affirmatively.

"I'll join! Do I need to write an application form? Also, can you untie me? It's very uncomfortable being tied up like this." Eddie struggled twice on the ground and raised his head to request.

"No, Mr. Brock, the prerequisite for joining is that you must first survive." The man smiled evilly, stood up, waved to the people behind him, and two people standing in the shadows walked over. Eddie found that they were wrapped tightly from head to toe, and even wore thick leather gloves on their hands.

"What do you mean?" Eddie felt a sense of crisis. He moved his body back a little on the ground, and then two people who approached grabbed one of his arms each and pulled him up.

"You know, people will only reduce the possibility of betrayal when their interests are aligned. First, I have to make you one of us." The man took two steps back and came to a counter next to him. He entered a few numbers on the virtual keyboard projected on the counter, and then spoke.

"I've already surrendered! I've already agreed to join you." Eddie felt that the two people grabbing his shoulders were extraordinarily strong. They easily lifted him, who weighed over a hundred pounds, effortlessly. No matter how hard he struggled, kicking his legs in the air, the other party's hands grabbing his hands were as immovable as granite, just like their bodies.

"What you say doesn't count. I think we can only have a more in-depth conversation after you survive. For example, what do I want to do?" The man waved his hand.

In front of the pyramid device containing the cube, a layer of tempered wall opened like elevator doors on both sides, and the tempered glass cover on the pyramid device that was used to protect it also opened at the next moment. The cube was slightly lifted by the lifting platform of the pyramid device.

Two taciturn people brought Eddie to a chair in front of the pyramid device, and then deftly fixed him on the chair before starting to retreat.

"Good luck." After the man entered the last few numbers on the virtual keyboard, he pressed Enter.

Layers of closed tempered glass doors began to close. The cube seemed to have been connected to a power source from below the pyramid device, and was activated from its dormant state. On the black shell, the texture of the surface seemed to be like liquid under the azure halo inside, starting from the very bottom and climbing along the texture. Then, when the azure energy covered the entire cube, it emitted a finger-thick azure beam of light from the top, which was absorbed and refracted by the instrument at the top, and shot towards Eddie, who was fixed on the metal chair, according to the adjusted angle.

Just as Eddie involuntarily closed his eyes, stimulated by the strong light, a layer of black liquid had pounced on his body, instantly acting as the first layer of barrier.

Then, the blue beam of light fell on the black shell of Venom covering Eddie's body.

"Fuck!" Venom only had time to curse before he felt like he was melting. The high temperature made him taste the feeling of death. At that moment, he really felt like he was going to die.

Holy Light?

Holy Light.

Holy Light!

Venom had never used Holy Light as piously as he was now. According to what Luke had told him, the more pious he was, the better the effect of Holy Light would be. The better the effect of Holy Light, the easier it would be to make people more pious.

This was also a kind of energy that could subtly change a person's character.

The warm Holy Light spread throughout Venom's body, dispelling the pain and high temperature he was enduring, and restoring his weakened vitality. That thin layer of warm yellow light was fighting against the destruction of the blue light inside and outside Venom's body.

"How could it be there?" The man outside the protective layer also saw the black liquid monster and the unknown, thin warm yellow light on it from the monitor screen.

He subconsciously looked at the tempered glass box that had been holding Venom before, only to see that there was a neat circle cut open in front of it. Obviously, Venom secretly used the ability Luke had given it to create a simple tool and subtly cut open the tempered glass while the other party's attention was on Eddie.

"Damn it." The man cursed inwardly.

Venom felt that a tremendous change was taking place inside his body. A new force was fighting against a force in the deepest part of his body. The force from the deepest part of his body seemed to have consciousness, bursting out furiously, but then showing a sense of weakness. In the end, under the attack of that new force, it gradually lost its territory and finally fell into silence completely.

Two high-level forces were vying for control to modify his body. In reality, Venom's body should have been shattered into pieces in the confrontation between these two vast and grand forces, but Venom, who was on the verge of life and death, for the sake of his own life, used an unprecedented degree of piety towards the Holy Light. Under the continuous healing and bonding of high-intensity Holy Light, he managed to survive, until the two forces decided the winner in his body.

Venom, who had escaped from death, frantically absorbed the surrounding energy, especially the energy refracted from the cube. By the time the people outside realized something was wrong, released the energy inside the cube, and hurriedly opened the protective door to rush in to resolve the battle, Venom had already helped Eddie break free from the metal restraint chair.

At this moment, Venom had completely changed his appearance. He was now metallic in color, with distinct edges and corners, like a technological creation full of technological beauty, just like Stark's Mark series armor.

"Wow, I've evolved, cool!" Venom looked at his two sharp metal claws, feeling the changes in his body, and opened his eyes wide, exclaiming with joy.

Becoming stronger, and food.

Are Venom's eternal pursuits.

He felt that his new body was stronger than the previous symbiote shell. Especially since he could barely be considered a research body among the symbiotes.

"This mutation is simply a work of art!"

Venom suddenly heard a voice. He looked up and saw a man looking at him with infatuated eyes, the kind of look that made even the steel-bodied Venom shiver involuntarily, feeling that his incomparably hard new shell had softened a bit, and his defense power had dropped sharply.

"That look is too disgusting."

Venom raised his right claw. In full view of everyone, his right hand began a complex and precise transformation. In about two seconds, an energy cannon emitting a blazing white light, about to burst out, was ready.

The energy cannon directly blasted away the bodyguard who was standing in front of the man, crossing his arms as a human shield. The man behind him also flew out together under the impact, rolling on the ground in a ball.

The other person's arm turned crimson with high temperature, burning the clothes on his arm to ashes. The person swung his fist and punched Venom, but Venom stretched out his left hand and directly wrapped the person's fist with his big claw.

"Wow, high temperature is useless to me." Feeling the high temperature reminder from the contact point, Venom whistled excitedly. He was no longer the symbiote who was afraid of high temperature and had significant weaknesses.

"But, my taste seems to have changed too." Venom clenched his left hand tightly, using the person as a hammer and slamming him left and right on the ground four times in a row, then let go and threw the person away, colliding with the bodyguard who had just stood up and was covered in metallic luster. While fighting, Venom didn't forget to feel the changes in his body.

He felt that his mechanical body at the moment could carry out various forms of changes and assembly. As long as he had a design drawing in his head, he could create it, or even directly transform it. He even vaguely felt that he could carry out molecular-level reorganization and structural replication.

The simplest way to use this ability is to directly swallow a piece of vibranium, and he can almost 100% transform himself into the swallowed vibranium structure. The more different metals he swallows, the more metals he can transform into. Coupled with the various design drawings he has mastered and the little research talent he has inherited from Stark, he is almost an omnipotent technological carrier!

As for the change in appetite, in the past, when he saw the other person's head, he just wanted to bite it off and swallow it into his stomach.

Now when he saw the other person's head, he really just saw a head, without the kind of strong desire to eat that he used to have.

However, when his gaze fell on the magnificent cube in front of the pyramid device, that hunger that he once had surged up again. This should be a very delicious source of energy, right?

Mechanical Venom thought.

He strode towards the pyramid device and reached out to grab the cube suspended on the pyramid device.

However, the man also saw Venom's thoughts. Under his orders, the two mutated bodyguards rushed up again and entangled Venom, while the man took the opportunity to take the cube.

Watching the man's fleeing back, Venom roared angrily. However, the two exceptionally powerful mutants prevented him from freeing his hands and feet for a while. After all, he had just transformed into a mechanical body, and he was still exploring the corresponding functions. It was impossible for his combat style to change overnight, so his current combat style was still mainly based on the early symbiote period, that is, close combat with punches to the flesh.

Faced with two exceptionally amazing mutants, in the past, Venom could only rely on his own strength to fight against them, either blasting the other party or being blasted by the other party. But now, he can use many kinds of methods and tools to increase his combat power. For example, high-frequency vibration knife.

……

While Venom was making a big fuss at a certain base, Luke in the Heberon laboratory in the big city inexplicably felt that he was connected to a weak mental connection.
