1770: Be Dogs Together and Taking Over Earth

Be Dogs Together and Taking Over Earth

Gold Nugget… was considered to have a "facial congenital deformity."

It was born without a mouth, and naturally didn't have beautiful fangs. It looked very weak and was often bullied by its own kind.

Even though it could clone itself, the clone's strength was halved while the number of beatings it got was doubled.

Venom was just as weak and was also bullied by their own kind.

Gold Nugget's only consolation was that Venom had it worse.

Because it was too weak, Gold Nugget had been thrown onto a meteorite as a test subject back then to look for a suitable planet to inhabit.

Now, the similarly weak Venom had become the second test subject.

After Gold Nugget came to Earth, it envied Luke's concern for Dollar and how Selina valued the dog's company.

The moment they officially accepted it into their fold, Gold Nugget decisively betrayed the symbiote race.

Being the fiend's dog was great. Back home, its status was even lower than that of a dog. Why would it work for its own kind that had always mocked and humiliated it?

The symbiote race wanted to colonize this planet, and treated all the living creatures here, including humans, as food.

If they succeeded, not only would Gold Nugget's days of living well be over, it would also return to being bullied. Only an idiot would be willing for that to happen.

It didn't think that the big fiend that was Luke would surrender, and there would inevitably be a battle.

But no matter how strong Luke was, it would be hard for him to deal with an endless horde of symbiotes. Gold Nugget absolutely couldn't let the symbiote newcomers go back.

So, Gold Nugget dissed Venom like crazy, but didn't encourage Luke to kill it.

In short: Be dogs together, or die.

…

Under the bridge, Venom and Eddie were negotiating. Venom said disdainfully, "You're a piece of trash, you pussy!"

Eddie suppressed his fear. "Fine, I am. Can you move a little farther back? I can only see your teeth this close. What should I call you?"

Venom: "My name is Venom. I'm a symbiote, not a parasite."

Eddie said, "Okay, Venom. Why are you here?"

"Eddie, you didn't find us; we found you," Venom said. "You belong to me. Hm, think of yourself as a ride."

Wait, why did my status suddenly drop? Eddie was dumbfounded. "And? What do you want?"

Venom said, "We'll use the Life Foundation's deep-space probe to send Earth's coordinates back and guide the other symbiotes to come and occupy this planet full of food."

Stumped for a moment, Eddie's expression suddenly changed. "Just now, you said you wanted to bite off those people's heads. Don't tell me…"

Venom said, "Yes, because the symbiosis requires nutrition. The brain, eyes, liver, and pancreas are the most delicious. Hm, your kidneys aren't bad either. Fat… is trash. It tastes bad."

Eddie said, "What? That… Wait, does it have to be human? Can't it be pork, beef or mutton?"

This was very important.

After all, Americans only ate livestock meat. Their innards were filled with heavy metals and drugs, and they basically wouldn't eat them.

In terms of composition, however, their organs were probably the same as human organs, especially pigs.

Venom hesitated for a moment. "Then… double the amount, and make it fresh."

Eddie quickly agreed. "No problem."

Two pig brains for his own was a safe choice. Who would be stupid enough to refuse?

Thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively, "Then, can you not contact the other symbiotes?"

Venom: "This is a mission which the leader gave to us."

Eddie, who had been feeling muddle-headed all day, suddenly had a thought.

As a reporter, he was good at analyzing other people's attitudes.

Only then was he able to suss out who was happy to leak information, who wanted to be paid for it, and who was hard to bribe.

Venom only emphasized the words "leader" and "mission," and didn't state its own stance.

Eddie, the expert at sniffing out scandals and courting death, was revived. "What do you get if you complete the mission? Can you become a leader? Or will Earth be given to you as your territory?"

Venom hesitated for a moment. "…Verbal praise?"

Eddie was shocked. "What? That's it?"

Venom could sense that Eddie was really disturbed — it would be strange if such a poor reward didn't disturb him!

It was a planet full of resources! Verbal praise was all it would get?

Venom was a little depressed. "Three of my comrades came to Earth with me this time. One of them, Riot, is the commander. If there really are benefits, it would get them."

Venom was unhappy that it ranked lower than the other symbiotes on its homeworld, and all of them were stronger than it was.

As an "extra" that had been sent over, Venom's position was just that awkward.

Eddie's eyes darted around as his mind worked quickly.

If it wasn't for the fact that there had been a lot of "examples" that had popped up in the last few years, he would definitely be a little less gutsy. However, it seemed he might be able to persuade Venom to cooperate with him?

Venom sensed his thoughts as well.

Sure enough, Eddie said, "If that's the case, why don't you take this planet for yourself?"

Venom: "That's only possible if the other three don't send back the coordinates. Agony and Shriek might be willing not to, but Riot is the commander, and will definitely send the coordinates back."

Eddie said, "Then get rid of Riot, and you become the leader."

If I could get rid of Riot, would I be interested in you? Venom mumbled to itself, but it couldn't help but explain, "I can't beat Riot. The commander is very strong. Even with the other two symbiotes, the three of us can't beat it."

Eddie, however, smiled. "You forget that this isn't your homeworld, but Earth."

Venom said, "It's because this is Earth that Riot can take any human host and still be very strong."

Eddie said, "No, I mean, we have a lot of reinforcements on Earth."

Venom snorted. "That's impossible. Just look at you. Humans are too weak. They're no match for Riot."

Eddie said, "Are you sure? Come, let me show you our 'reinforcements'."

He did his best to recall the Bat Squad's achievements, especially during the Battle of New York.

Venom, who was connected to Eddie's mind, also got a rough picture.2

A moment later, it exclaimed, "That's impossible. You actually beat back two of the Chitauri ships?"

A moment later, it "saw" the endless swarm of fliers in the air being blown up by the Bat Squad and the Avengers, and Venom had nothing to say.

Although the Chitauri weren't symbiotes, an attack of that level wasn't something that Riot could withstand.

The Chitauri fliers only needed to form a circle around Riot to crush it with numbers and technology.

It helped that the Earthlings were able to close the space portal and block the Chitauri from coming through, but they were strong enough to besiege Riot.

That was, if Venom was on their side.

As long as it revealed what Riot was like, it wouldn't be too hard for these people to kill it.
