Marvel: Embark on a demon-hunting journey with Spider-Man!

Chapter 37 The Power of the Symbiote God

Meanwhile, in the dark, sunless underground ruins.

A twisted underground world of reinforced concrete, piled with rubble, and with narrow spaces.

A red and blue shield was stuck diagonally in the ruins, and a figure buried in dust moved slightly.

"Uh~"

Steve groaned and then slowly opened his eyes.

A faint light shone through the cracks in the ruins and fell before his eyes.

He coughed, barely managed to push away the debris pressing down on him, and then propped himself up to stand up.

He took a deep breath; the air was filled with a stench and a putrid smell.

Steve, covered in dust and dirt, found his shield.

"Good friend, thank you for saving me again." He gently stroked the shield, which was covered in scorch marks, his face full of emotion.

First came a dense array of pumpkin bombs, then a collapsing building crashed down upon them.

Steve figured his luck was about to run out since he was still alive.

Yes, he was very lucky.

Protected by the shield, the shockwave from the explosion swept him into a dead end. By a twist of fate, the collapsing rubble and concrete pillars avoided his body, forming an angle that protected him.

He believes this is scientific.

Although he didn't read much.

But how do we get out?

this is a big problem.

He paused for a moment, then bent over and began to feel around.

Trying to find a weak exit.

"Click~"

Steve's footsteps echoed clearly in the deathly silent space.

A short while later, he seemed to hear some noise.

Then, I could faintly hear a mournful wail.

"Um?"

Steve's expression shifted. He looked at the crack in the rubble beside him and then carefully pushed it aside.

"boom......"

The rubble tumbled down, and the cries of agony grew clearer.

"Ah!! Bruce, what's wrong? Don't die! What will I do if you die?!"

"I went through all that trouble to pull you out of the newbie pack, I taught you how to care for you, we depended on each other for survival, we were like brothers, can't you just die?!"

Amidst the rubble, a figure in red and blue knelt and wailed.

The cries were heart-wrenching, causing those who heard them to grieve and those who saw them to weep.

However, Steve was never able to empathize.

Because he knew Bruce didn't exist.

The girl who was half-buried by a giant concrete pillar is real.

"It's a girl."

Steve spotted Gwen trapped under the rubble at a glance.

Gwen's suit had disappeared, so he didn't recognize her.

"What's wrong with her?" He rushed to Mark's side.

Mark glanced at Steve. "Mr. Shi Aimin, you're a mid-level Witcher, you can definitely revive my Bruce, right?"

He clung tightly to Steve's leg, "Please, you have to save Bruce, I beg you."

He was crushed to death by falling rocks while trying to save me..."

Last night, although Mark was far away from the blast radius, he could not avoid the collapsed mountain.

Bruce pushed him away at the crucial moment in order to save him.

That's why Bruce has become the way he is now.

Mark was filled with immense regret.

At the same time, his chest seemed to start hurting again.

"Buzz~"

The spider totem on his chest was flashing wildly, and Mark collapsed to the ground, his muffled groans proving that he was not in good condition.

Steve noticed this and frowned.

"What happened?"

"It's a curse."

Wow~

At this moment, black liquid flowed out from the cracks in the ruins and then transformed into the face of a demon.

Venom grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. "I've finally figured it out."

"Who are you?"

Seeing how strange Venom was, Steve unconsciously took a step back, his eyes wary.

"What are you?"

"I am not a thing, I am a great symbiote."

"So what did you discover?"

Seeing that Venom seemed to have no ill intentions, Steve's gaze fell on the dead Gwen.

Venom also looked at the cold Gwen, "Gah gah gah... I've discovered the secret of the curse."

He seemed unconcerned about Gwen's death.

"A curse?" Steve pointed at Mark. "His curse?"

"certainly."

Venom's narrow eyes narrowed as he said, "I've been observing Spider-Man all along, and the moment I sensed the power of the curse, something unexpected happened to my friend."

This accident was not originally going to happen, and the trajectory of the falling massive stone pillar was not like this.

But the moment the cursed power reappeared, a strange force interfered with everything.

Venom was finally identified.

"So Spider-Man's curse is... that accidents will happen to the people around him!"

Upon hearing this, Steve seemed to understand something.

"So this girl's death was due to Spider-Man's curse?"

He shook his head. "That's the power of God. I don't think it's possible."

"You're just an ordinary Earthling who's never seen a god, I understand."

Venom glanced at Steve. "Ignorant Earthling, gods really exist. You might encounter one you believe to be a god someday."

Steve shook his head again. "I only believe in science."

That's your problem.

"So, black slime, your friend died, and you don't seem sad at all."

Based on Venom's words, Steve deduced that the dead girl was the other person's friend.

Venom, of course, doesn't get hurt.

He grinned and said, "Death? Kid, the Symbiotic God is the one who slaughters all gods."

As a descendant of the great symbiotic god, I naturally possess divine power.

Kid, watch closely.

After he finished speaking, the venom turned into a black liquid and entered Gwen's body.

In an instant, Gwen's complexion regained its rosy hue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The cold corpse was also rapidly regaining its vitality.

"Uh~"

Soon, Gwen let out a soft moan.

She opened her eyes to Steve's shocked gaze.

Meanwhile, a black liquid combat suit covered Gwen's body.

"It's you!"

Steve exclaimed, "You're the Spider Lady from last night!"

besides.......

That black thing really can bring people back to life!

What kind of power is this?!

This scene completely overturned Steve's worldview.

Before Gwen could answer, she was suddenly pulled into someone's arms.

"Waaaaah, thank goodness, Bruce, you're still alive! I can't even see your health bar anymore, waaaaah..."

Mark burst into tears, his tears and snot soaking through his mask and smearing all over her face.

This left Gwen feeling quite helpless.

"Hey, buddy, you've got me out of here first." She patted Mark on the back without any sign of disgust.

Upon hearing this, Mark immediately looked at the massive boulder that had crushed Bruce.

Faced with boulders weighing at least hundreds of tons, he was plunged into despair once again.

"Bruce, I'm sorry, I can't do it. I simply don't have that kind of power."

"Hey, bug, how can you not give it a try?"

Steve snapped out of his daze, threw down his shield, and started moving the rubble.

He never gives up easily.

What truly held Gwent down was a single reinforced concrete pillar.

He could only pick up the shield again and use its sharp edge to scrape off cement chips one after another, trying to reduce the size and weight of the object.

Mark was deeply moved by what he saw.

"Mr. Shi Aimin, you're right. How will we know it won't work if we don't try?"

Immediately, he mustered his courage and reached out his hands toward the huge concrete pillar.

"For Bruce, I can do it!!"

He roared, his muscles tensing and swelling, squeezing out every ounce of power from his body.

Finally, a miracle occurred as his body trembled.

The spider totem on his chest also stopped flashing.

"Bruce, I have to save you!!"

"Click!"

Finally, as the entire underground ruins trembled slightly, and the hundreds of tons of behemoth were slowly lifted, Gwen felt a lightness on her body.

Upon seeing this, Venom did not hesitate to use the power of the symbiote to heal Gwen's legs.

He left Gwen's body because he couldn't give her the power to escape on her own.

That's why he made a commotion to attract Steve's attention.

Now that Gwen is out of danger, Venom is very impressed with his own decision.

"Hehehe, what a strong man! I knew you could do it."

"Stop talking nonsense, he won't understand."

Gwen made a sarcastic remark, then climbed out of the ruins.

Steve, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

He held up his shield, staring blankly at the scene.

"No, you just said you didn't have much power, but now you do..."

He silently lowered his shield.

Ha! He really is a histrionic personality.

The next second, Mark put down the cement pillar and excitedly shook Steve's hand.

"Edward Shi, thank you for saving my Bruce."

Steve: "........"

Did I save him?

Ha! He really is a histrionic personality.
