In a secluded alley, Venom formed a small head, its face full of confusion.
"Syd, why are we leaving like this?"
Venom was puzzled. Weren''t they supposed to stop Drake fromunching the rocket to bring back the symbiotes?
Syd nced at Venom and said casually, "I trust Eddie. He should be able to stop Drake."
Of course, this was just an excuse. Syd simply believed thatunching the rocket would take some time. Instead of spending that time trying to stop it, he thought it was better to grow stronger.
If he could upgrade all the powers of the snake to their maximum, the so-called symbiote meteorite would be a trivial matter for him.
Shaking his head, Syd added, "And Earth is deep water, full of things and people beyond your imagination. Some things will be dealt with by others; we just need to watch."
"Deep water?" Venom''s small face was full of confusion, not understanding.
Wasn''t it just Earth? How deep could it be?
The doubt shed through his mind, but then he focused on what had just happened.
His face lit up with excitement, "Syd, you were amazing just now. They were all terrified of you!"
"You didn''t see the look on my foolish other half''s face; it was priceless!"
Venom''s face turned to surprise, speaking incredulously, "Syd, the blue energy you fired and the way you deflected the bullets, are those your superpowers?"
He remembered the two assassins from earlier.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Back then, his host had also disyed other superpowers!
"You have so many abilities!"
Venom was incredulous.
Having fully bonded with several humans, he knew from their memories that this host seemed a bit off.
Too strong, almost abnormal?
Shaking his small ck head, Venom didn''t dwell on it, thinking the host was just a bit unusual.
"Syd, where are we going now?" Venom asked curiously.
"Let''s leave this area first. I told you before that I''m being hunted..."
As he spoke, Syd quickly left the area.
Along the way, beams of sunlight touched him.
[Photon Energy +1]
[Photon Energy +1]
[Photon Energy +1]
[Unlock Progress 80%]
[Energy Points: 298]
Syd nced at the panel.
There were still many energy points needed to reach 85%...
Half an hourter, Syd gradually stopped.
With Venom looking confused, he began practicing ck Particle.
[ck Particle Experience +1]
[ck Particle Experience +1]...
Soon, it was evening.
[Ability: ck Particle (266/500) Level Two]
Looking at the panel data, Syd sighed in relief.
He had spent almost the entire day to reach this level. By tomorrow evening, it should be ready to upgrade.
If not for maintaining full energy, he could have increased the data even more.
Then, he left the area and, with Venom''s assistance, found a secluded spot to sleep.
With Venom sensing danger and his internal photon energy detecting anomalies, he wasn''t too worried.
The next morning.
[Photon Energy +1]
[Photon Energy +1]
[Photon Energy +1]...
In a daze, Syd was awakened by the prompt sound.
He nced at the panel.
[Energy Points: 355]
After getting up, he continued practicing ck Particle with Venom still looking confused.
Time flew by, and soon it was evening.
A prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ability: ck Particle (0/1000) Level Three]
Looking at the refreshed data on the panel and feeling the sudden change in his body, Syd''s
mood lifted.
"What happened?!"
Venom was instantly alert, noticing a change in Syd''s body but not understanding what had changed. He was very puzzled.
Syd didn''t respond immediately, quietly sensing the sudden changes within.
Sunlight continuously absorbed, filling the void of photon energy.
When his photon energy was full, Syd silently sensed the changes.
With ck Particle at level three, he found that his energy could now perform more than seventy level-two abilities!
It had almost doubled!
Syd raised his hand and, under Venom''s astonished gaze, fired a level-three ck Particle at
the ground.
[ck Particle Experience +1]
ck ripples appeared on his finger, followed by a fist-sized ck Particle.
With a swoosh, the particle shot towards the ground.
In the next second, a fist-sized, twenty-four-meter-deep hole appeared on the ground!
Venom was shocked.
Syd''s lips curled into a slight smile.
"Not bad, the power has increased significantly."
If previously, hitting a person with ck Particle only had a slim chance of survival with prompt medical treatment, now with a fist-sized ck Particle, survival chances were
minimal!
Hitting the limbs might be survivable, but hitting the torso or head was almost certainly
fatal!
After all, no one could survive with a fist-sized hole in their chest, abdomen, or head!
Unless they had Wolverine''s healing factor...
But how many people in this world had healing abilities?
In short, ck Particle had be a highly lethal ability, ensuring that targets didn''t need a
follow-up hit, unlike before...
Before, not finishing off the target could mean they survived, but finishing them off wasted energy, which was disadvantageous against multiple enemies.
"But..."
Sensing his photon energy consumption, Syd shook his head, feeling a bit helpless.
That single attack had consumed a significant portion of his photon energy.
Roughly estimating, he could perform about thirty level-three ck Particles.
"It seems I''ll have to deal with energy shortages for a while..."
Unless he acquired more abilities or upgraded more abilities to increase his photon energy.
Syd shook his head helplessly.
After testing ck Particle, he was about to sense the impact of increased photon energy on
Photon Sunshine when Venom''s voice interrupted.
"Syd, did I see it wrong? How did your release get so much bigger?"
"The range has also increased a lot!"
Venom found it unbelievable, almost thinking it was an illusion.
"Can practice increase so much?"
He didn''t understand.
"Ahem, you saw wrong," Syd coughed lightly, speaking nonchntly.
"Really?" Venom''s ck face was full of confusion.
Taking advantage of Venom''s confusion, Syd looked up at the sky.
The sun was almost setting, the weak sunlight tinting the sky red.
In the next second, his photon energy decreased.
