Originally, Tony didn’t just call Eddie over to simply sit and observe, getting to know his current physical data. Tony wanted to study the intricate dynamics between Eddie, and Venom, and their symbiotic relationship in detail, to better understand the impact of Venom on the entire symbiote species and its relationship with humans.
After all, their E-Grade Skyward Warship had been on its way for several days, and they were getting close to the coordinates provided by Venom.
In other words, if everything went smoothly, Tony and his team were about to bring back millions or even more lifeforms similar to Venom or potentially even stronger. As the only known Symbiote on Earth, Eddie’s research value was naturally significant.
“So, let’s continue,” Tony said during Eddie’s silence.
Eddie: “…”
Scientists were indeed the most terrifying beings!
Next, Tony led Eddie to another laboratory equipped with more advanced technology. In a sealed section deep within this laboratory, Venom had been preserved by Tony in an environment almost akin to space conditions for several months.
However, when Eddie entered this laboratory, which was devoid of any light, energy, or air, the previously lifeless-looking Venom, sealed in this space, suddenly exhibited an almost imperceptible vibration and then fell silent again.
As Eddie followed Tony into this laboratory, Tony’s brows raised slightly without a word. J.A.R.V.I.S had whispered a few words in his ear just now. What J.A.R.V.I.S said confirmed some of Tony’s suspicions, and this was a small test he had in mind when bringing Eddie to this laboratory.
“It seems that even in absolute vacuum or space conditions, Venom is still able to sense or communicate with others in some way!” Tony thought silently as he continued to walk toward the center of the laboratory with Eddie.
Although the small movement of the “Venom” sealed in this laboratory had been extremely subtle, Tony had brought Eddie here to test the communication between these extraterrestrial lifeforms. So, naturally, J.A.R.V.I.S was monitoring that “Venom” closely, and no minor changes could escape J.A.R.V.I.S’s surveillance.
Moreover, the environment in which Tony had sealed Venom provided no external source of energy for it. Of course, if “Venom” could devour even super-strong alloys, there was little Tony could do. Compared to true outer space, this environment was even more severe, as outer space still had sunlight and plenty of radiant energy.
“However, now that we have a suitable symbiotic Earthling, if the real Venom inside him is willing to cooperate, perhaps there will be a significant breakthrough in Venom’s research,” Tony said, squinting his eyes and noticing the slight change in Eddie’s expression.
He was already planning how to conduct his experiments to extract more value from Eddie and Venom.
Ding Ding~
In the quiet laboratory, there were only the slow footsteps of Tony and Eddie moving forward. At this moment, both Tony and Eddie were preoccupied with their thoughts. While Tony was thinking about his research, Eddie’s mind was in turmoil.
“Damn it! Venom, what’s happening to you?!”
From the moment Eddie followed Tony into the laboratory, Venom, which had been chatting normally in his head, began releasing a chaotic mental energy that Eddie couldn’t comprehend. Under the impact of this chaotic and powerful mental energy, Eddie’s mind became confused, and even his own consciousness became unstable.
Trying to maintain a calm exterior, Eddie’s eyes gradually emitted a faint black glow from deep within. At this moment, Eddie could no longer communicate with Venom normally. Or perhaps, Venom’s current condition did not allow him to adjust his “brainwaves” to communicate with Eddie’s consciousness as Tony had suggested.
Under the onslaught of Venom’s chaotic mental consciousness, Eddie was on the verge of losing control of his own body. The black color in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and it was foreseeable that he would soon be overwhelmed by Venom’s consciousness, losing control of his body.
However, just as the black glow in Eddie’s eyes was about to completely fill his pupils, Tony, who was walking ahead of him, glanced at him slightly. Then, he whispered something. Eddie could only see Tony’s mouth move twice, but he couldn’t hear what he was saying.
Buzz Buzz!
As Eddie’s field of vision was about to be completely filled with black, a sudden burst of high-frequency sound waves emanating from various points in the laboratory, precisely targeted at Eddie under J.A.R.V.I.S’s control.
Squeak Squeak Squeak!
At the moment when these high-frequency sound waves struck Eddie, black tendrils erupted from various parts of his body, accompanied by countless screeches resembling that of rats. Eddie, in this state, seemed to be under Venom’s control, in a berserk transformation.
“Eddie, can you still control it? If not, I can help,” Tony calmly stood in front of Eddie even after the high-frequency sound waves had forced Venom out and asked calmly.
At this point, Eddie regained his hearing and understood his situation. Venom’s consciousness had once again communicated with him.
“Eddie! Don’t let him help!… I’ve recovered! I was just influenced by another member of our species!” Venom’s consciousness struggled intermittently, but it was filled with fear as it shouted at Eddie while resisting the high-frequency attacks.
“Are you sure? Because I felt like I was about to be consumed by you just now! I think you may have been lying to me all along. What about the principle of peaceful coexistence? If my consciousness had been completely suppressed just now, would I have become your puppet?” Eddie asked calmly, disregarding Venom’s fear.
After nearly a month of interaction, Eddie believed he had been getting along well with Venom. Furthermore, after witnessing the power of SHIELD and other mysterious beings in this world, Venom had become more restrained. However, Eddie was genuinely frightened by Venom’s recent violent state.
“No! I never intended to consume you! Eddie, I’m really just influenced by another member of our species! This guy in front of you has the means to destroy me, and I wouldn’t do such a thing!”
