In the other versions, Spider-Man and the Symbiote seemed to always be both friends and foes. They had many similarities, such as their external armor styles, their superhuman strength and physique, and their ability to shoot webs…
However, Spider-Man excelled at defeating opponents with skill and finesse, while the Symbiote tended toward brute force and violent destruction.
**’Shhht-‘**
Two spider webs shot out from the tornado created by the Wind Elemental, clinging to the interior walls on either side of the first-floor lobby. Clinging to the other ends of the webs, young Spider-Man Peter hung in midair, barely avoiding being tossed around by the tornado like laundry in a washing machine.
“I can’t hold on much longer!” Peter’s voice was distorted by the strong wind. If he wasn’t wearing his mask, his mouth would probably be swollen from the air being forced into it.
Despite his several tons of grip strength, the webs in his hands kept slipping, and his small body was about to be pulled back into the tornado. Suddenly, a tall, dark figure jumped up, grabbed him by the collar like a chick, and pulled him away from the tornado.
“Th-Thank you,” Peter looked back to see that it was Agent Venom who had confronted the water elemental and helped him.
“Kid, go back! You’re not helping,” Eddie panted heavily, his mouth open in a menacing grin, his tongue flicking back and forth like a snake.
Venom had bonded with countless alien creatures and monsters during his years drifting through space, making his appearance far different from the pure Venom of the past.
But in this moment, Peter felt that the terrifying, dark figure of Agent Venom before him was as kind and accessible as a mentor.
Peter, dangling from Eddie’s grip with his limbs hanging down, stubbornly insisted, “Mr. Eddie, I want to fight. Let me keep fighting! I can help you! I know I can!”
“How do you know my name…” Eddie was startled for a moment, but quickly jumped back as a massive ten-foot column of water crashed down where they had been standing.
The water elemental roared in anger. When his attack failed, he continued to strike with his hand, transforming half of his body into a five-meter wave. The Wind Elemental assisted by creating gusts of wind that caused the wave to spin with tremendous speed and force.
In an instant, the combined power of the Wind and Water Elementals turned the first-floor lobby of Pym Technologies into a scene of destruction, resembling a corner of a massive ocean storm.
Eddie’s pupils contracted slightly as he jumped onto the inner wall, defying gravity just like Peter.
As he ran along the wall with Peter in tow, Eddie sighed, “All right, what can you do?”
Peter, overjoyed, stammered excitedly, “I’m really strong! My reflexes are fast! I get a tingling sensation when there’s danger. And when I’m wearing this spider suit, I can use the AI to track down enemies…”
“Do you have any moves or abilities?” Eddie asked as he continued to run along the wall, the wave chasing after them and threatening to swallow them both.
“Moves?” Peter muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered something. “There’s an instant kill mode, but I can’t use it yet. Oh, and my web can change into other forms, like an electrified web.”
Eddie stopped abruptly, almost swallowed by the rising wave in the lobby. He kept running to buy time and asked, “Electricity, you can generate electricity?”
Peter looked down at his hands and gritted his teeth. “I’m not sure; I haven’t used this mode much, but I can try!”
“Then let’s give it a try!”
As Eddie spoke, he took a deep breath and looked at the Water Elemental in the lobby. Suddenly, he shot off the wall like a cannonball and charged directly into the wave.
The wave, amplified by the wind, surged toward Eddie, who plunged into it, sending water splashing everywhere.
“Go for it, Spider-Kid!”
Unable to push forward under the pressure of wind and water, Eddie flexed the muscles in his right arm and used all his strength to hurl Peter, whom he had been holding onto, forward like a grenade.
Peter felt the turbulent waves and wind pressure as his vision blurred. Before he knew it, he had broken through the wind and water elements, propelled by inertia, and found himself plunging into the core of the wind-water elemental creature.
“What is that…”
Reflected in the dark, shiny lenses of Peter’s spider mask were two clusters of red energy nestled inside the creature. These shapeless elemental monsters had unknown sources of energy at their core.
In that brief moment, Peter understood Eddie’s intent. Instinctively, he raised his hands and prepared to fire webs.
“Now!”
Two webs shot out, but this time, unlike before, they were electrically charged. As soon as they touched the red energy clusters, they sparked with crackling pulses of electricity.
**’Buzz-‘**
Although the electrical charge carried by the webs was small, it was enough to turn the tide of the battle. As the electricity disrupted the energy cores of the Reality Stone, the Wind-Water Elemental Creature could no longer maintain its form.
**’Crash! Crash!’**.
A massive amount of water gushed out of the first floor of Pym Technologies, doors and windows becoming outlets for the water as it poured out into the courtyard before gradually receding.
Inside, everything had been washed away, leaving the floor empty except for Agent Venom and Spider-Man, who sat back-to-back on the wet, polished floor. Venom had returned to his human form, and Spider-Man had removed his mask, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.
“Kid, you’re not so bad… I acknowledge you now,” Eddie said softly.
Peter asked in surprise, “How did you know their weakness was in the core?”
“I guessed.”
“You guessed?”
Peter was stunned by Eddie’s answer. “You guessed? You just threw me in there on a hunch?”
“You weren’t sure you could handle the electric shock either,” Eddie shrugged, and the two began exchanging casual banter.
“They are just barely passable.”
In the Mirror Dimension, where Kyle had been observing everything happening in the lobby, he calmly gave his assessment, satisfied that his early training had paid off.
“Now it’s all up to what happens below,” Raina said with a seductive smile.
In the sewers below Pym Technologies.
Scott was standing on the backs of a swarm of fire ants, floating along the stream. After navigating several twists and turns, they finally emerged from a drainpipe.
This was the high-tech equipment basement, where various devices were stored. In the basement, an old generator provided electricity, and the lights were still on, probably left on by someone.
As soon as Scott entered the room, he saw Mysterio, Quentin, wearing his fishbowl helmet and sitting in a computer chair in the basement.
Quentin also noticed him and looked up coldly.
Scott returned to his normal human size and said in a deep voice, “So… it’s been just you all along. But there are three of us. Three against one, you’re finished!”
“Look behind you,” Quentin smiled.
“Trying to trick me? I’ve already seen through your little illusions,” Scott snorted, but then he felt an intense heat coming from his back.
Frowning, he looked behind him and saw a pile of equipment engulfed in flames, molten lava slowly forming a new, gigantic monster.
The Fire Elemental, which had never appeared before, was finally making its appearance!
Quentin chuckled, “Did you think I hadn’t anticipated this scenario? You’re not the only ones with a contingency plan, I have one too!”
