Chapter 1236: An Unusual Meeting
Venom, extending from behind Eddie, floated in front of him and greeted him. It seemed to sense that Eddieās mental state wasnāt great at the moment, and its tone was less vicious and threatening than before.
Staring blankly at this horrifying lifeform that had emerged from his own body, Eddie had no idea what he should do or what he could do. After all, just moments ago, he had been completely under Venomās control, with no control over his own actions.
āWhatā¦ what are you exactly?ā Eddie asked, his voice trembling with helplessness as he held his head.
Although Eddie had been enveloped by Venom just moments ago, he had personally experienced everything Venom had done. So when Venom had bitten off and swallowed the head of Captain, Eddie felt it. He was undeniably frightened.
āMe? I am Venom,ā Venom replied casually to Eddieās inquiry.
āDo you even realize what you just did? You killed someone! You swallowed a head, a living one!!ā Eddie yelled, feeling nauseous. While as a journalist, Eddie had witnessed some gruesome things, he couldnāt accept something as grotesque as swallowing a head.
āI killed them because if I didnāt, they would have killed you. And now, we are one, to protect you, killing them is quite normal,ā Venom explained nonchalantly, seeming oblivious to Eddieās anger.
āBut what about the head? Itās so disgusting!ā Eddie exclaimed. āKilling is one thing, but the image of you devouring a head is enough to give me nightmares.ā
āI already told you, I was hungry and needed to eat. Since you wouldnāt let me feast on your organs, I canāt just starve, can I? Besides, that bald guyās brain wasnāt half as delicious as your liver would beā¦ā Venom replied casually, considering the act of consuming a head rather ordinary.
And, at the end of his explanation, Venom added a calm threat.
After Venomās words, Eddie suddenly felt a strange sensation in the vicinity of his liver. It felt as if something was touching it. The sensation in his abdomen alarmed Eddie, and he realized that Venom might not have been joking about consuming his liver.
āI understand!ā Eddie shouted quickly after sensing the feeling in his abdomen disappear. Venomās expression seemed to change slightly, and Eddie realized that he needed to negotiate terms with Venom. Otherwise, heād remain at Venomās mercy, constantly threatened with the prospect of losing his liver.
Upon careful reflection of their time together and considering Venomās recent words, Eddie quickly came to a conclusion. The lifeform before him, as terrifying as it appeared, needed him to stay alive. Just as Venom had said, they were now one.
However, Eddie believed that this unity was more critical for Venom. Without Eddie as its perfect host, Venom would soon die, just like the other Venom lifeforms in the Life Foundationās lab.
āEddieā¦ I know what youāre thinking. Iām inside you, remember?ā Venom spoke up again, its tone much more relaxed.
Venom was well aware of Eddieās fleeting thoughts, and Eddieās considerations were indeed on point. At this moment, Venom couldnāt afford to lose Eddie, and it was willing to make some reasonable concessions to ensure their cooperation.
āSo, you should also know what I was thinking just now. I canāt watch you killing and devouring people everywhere; thatās something I canāt accept! And certainly, you canāt keep threatening me with eating my liver!ā Eddie said, seizing the opportunity to lay out his conditions when Venomās tone had eased.
āIf I donāt eat peopleā¦ Iāll be very hungryā¦ and when Iām hungry, I might end up doing some not-so-good thingsā¦ā Although Venom thought it could cooperate a bit with its perfect host, it couldnāt let go of the issue of its sustenance.
āHmph! I donāt believe you can only fill your stomach by eating people! If you need energy, I can try to satisfy that need. But you canāt eat people anymore!ā After experiencing Venomās insatiable appetite when it first bonded with him, Eddie wasnāt going to easily trust Venomās words.
āFine, since you put it that way, Iāll try my best. But you canāt let me go hungry!ā To keep Eddie on his side, Venom reluctantly agreed.
As Eddie had suspected, although Venom enjoyed eating people, it didnāt mean it couldnāt consume other things. As long as it was high in calories and energy, Venom could devour it, just like the Venom in Tonyās lab.
This Venom was quite similar in that regard.
āIn addition to not eating people, from now on, you have to listen to me! We need to expose Carlton Drakeās conspiracy; we canāt let his plan succeed, as it would destroy the world!ā After Venom agreed to the previous condition, Eddie brought up another demand. š š¼NOĶĪŠÅ
However, perhaps thinking that Eddie didnāt have the authority to make such demands, the horrifying face floating in front of Eddie suddenly drew closer. Its blood-curdling maw slightly widened, and its crimson tongue extended, swaying in front of Eddie.
āEddie, this is no longer something you need to worry about. In fact, I think Carlton Drake is doing a great job. There are still millions of my kind in hibernation on that celestial body outside Mars. Having Carlton Drake bring them all to Earth is a great idea.ā
Having found a perfect host on Earth and experienced the planetās basic combat capabilities, Venom believed that once his kind arrived, they could dominate this world. Venom would be a hero when that time came.
