The symbiont has a parent star, and Merlin knew this secret very early.
When he got Beowulf from the remains of the frozen symbiote dragon under the Norwegian Strait, he was invaded by the will of the god of the abyss, Nar, contained in the ancient symbiote.
Nar showed Merlin the planet composed entirely of symbiotic bodies, the densely packed liquid life, at least in millions, and they used their bodies to seal their gods.
Merlin didn't know why the creatures of the symbiosis god Nal had to resist their god, but the scene on the mother planet of the symbiosis has remained unforgettable to Merlin.
It was an asteroid that was constantly moving among the stars, not much larger than a comet.
The Life Foundation's detection ship was lucky enough to encounter it while sailing in deep space and collected samples. The black symbiosis that Merlin had reached a symbiotic state with Eddie Brock, which came from there.
It looks quite powerful, tyrannical and powerful.
But in the face of the ancient alien species that once carried Nar's will, descended to the earth as a dragon, and tried to infect the world, it was obviously not powerful enough.
In the genealogy of symbionts, Beowulf is obviously closer to their source than this black symbiont.
Ancient, barbaric and powerful.
"Ao"
The thick black horny keratin covered Merlin's body, covering his torso and his limbs, causing his body to expand twice like an inflatable balloon.
Perhaps because he was used to symbiosis with Merlin in the half-demon form, Beowulf naturally reshaped into a very semi-demon-like appearance when facing provocation.
But it did not cover Merlin's face like the symbiosis in front of him, and he knew that the master did not like that full-coverage state.
Therefore, Beowulf was very obedient to create a crow-shaped mask on Merlin's face.
This satisfied Merlin.
He stretched out his body, and a pair of dragon wings, like a symbiotic dragon, suddenly opened behind him, heavy, covered with scales and spikes, hitting the ground, just like a black warhammer.
The huge shadow was projected on Eddie's symbiosis. Under the symbiosis of Beowulf, the dark red abyss runes on its body were like symbols of power, and the ancient wild aura was filled with this large biological compartment.
Eddie's symbiont kept retreating, and the same kind in front of him undoubtedly made him feel the pressure, and even reminded him of the feeling of looking at the sealed gods when he was still on the mother planet of the symbiont.
That is the power that comes from the same source.
"Clang"
Merlin took a step forward, and his sharp black claws were constantly moving. The ultimate increase in power from the symbiosis made Merlin feel that he was filled with invincible power.
But this kind of strength comes at a price.
To achieve perfect symbiosis, the host must allow the symbiosis to transform its life form, just like Eddie in front of him.
Many organs in his body have been transformed by black symbiosis, with a shrinking heart, a twisted spleen and stomach, and a changing digestive tract. These transformations are all to better adapt to the burst of power of the symbiosis.
Merlin doesn't want to be transformed.
In addition to Beowulf's symbiotic form, he has many options for combat, and each one is no worse than a symbiotic form that focuses on brute force and speed.
This is also why even though Beowulf's symbiosis is a very useful fighting form, Merlin basically doesn't know how to use it.
"Come!"
The symbiotic dragon wings behind Merlin slapped, and the heavy dragon tail dragged on the ground, like a half-human and half-dragon monster. Under the black crow's sharp beak mask, a trace of scrutiny shone in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and hooked his finger at the Eddie symbiosis in front of him.
This universal provocative action of the universe obviously angered the black symbiosis in front of him.
There is no emotion between this creature that is shaped by a god of darkness. If it is provoked, it must fight back. The cowardly symbiosis has no chance to survive on the parent planet.
The next moment, Eddie's symbiosis roared, and its thick legs stomped on the ground, waving its claws and dancing its mucus-filled tongue, then pounced towards Merlin and Beowulf.
Very powerful, but unfortunately, it's too slow
"Swish"
Merlin turned his body sideways and easily avoided the kill. His claws buckled on the back of the black symbiosis like lightning. The sharp claws pierced into the horny defense, and then tore them hard.
"Crash"
A large piece of the black cuticle covered by Eddie's back was torn off. The moment she left the body, the solid cuticle material quickly turned back into black mucus and was thrown to the ground by Merlin.
The black symbiosis let out a wail, and the missing part behind it was quickly replenished by the extended mucus.
It swung its fists and thrust hard on Merlin's chest. During this burst of force, Merlin was repelled several steps. This punch had a force of about 50 tons, but it was not its limit.
How much power can a symbiotic body exert depends on how much pressure the host's body can withstand. As for Beowulf, Merlin's physical fitness can completely support its unreserved and wanton battle, but Eddie
Eddie couldn't do it, he was just an ordinary person after all.
"Bang"
Merlin rotated his body, and the dragon tail behind him, which was like a warhammer, hitting the black symbiosis chest, pounding it from mid-air to the ground, causing the ground of the large biological cabin to shatter, and also causing the black symbiosis to roll away from Eddie in a splashing posture under the impact of huge force.
Exposed the former reporter who was wrapped in it.
Kill in one blow!
The guy struggled and had to fight back, but Merlin had completed the test of this guy. Beowulf obediently removed the half-dragon form and turned back to Merlin's black slim windbreaker in the blink of an eye.
"You look a little hot, let's reduce the fire."
Merlin flicked his fingers, and the dark red chains condensed by the binding curse extended from four directions, tying the black symbiosis to the ground.
He pinched his fingers, and in the burst of Ignefax, the pillar of fire formed by flames covered the symbiosis in front of him in an instant.
A burning smell of protein burning sounded in the biological compartment along with the whine of the symbionts, like an impromptu barbecue.
20 seconds later, Merlin retracted his magic power. In front of him, Eddie Brock was lying on the ground and had lost consciousness, while the symbiote burned by the flames retracted into Eddie's body, trembling.
“The design is too bad.”
In the large creature compartment that was broken by the fight between the two symbiotes, Merlin retrieved Icarus from his pocket and put it on his eyes, and looked at Eddie Brock, he said:
"High temperatures above 1000° can make it weak, while higher temperatures will make it lose its combat power quickly. The weakness of infrasonic waves is too obvious and it is useless."
"well enough."
Icarus replays the previous battle scenes between Beowulf and the Black Symbiosis, and she casts the data from the two when they fight, she says:
"At its speed of action, unless it is a large-scale explosion or an attacker who takes precise attacks like Agent Patton, it will be difficult for even a demon hunter to hit it without siege."
"And it also has the terrifying brute force that can explode in an instant, which makes it enough to solve the enemy before being caught."
"The most important thing is that its reaction power is actually not bad, and its toughness is good. Although flame is a weakness, it is not enough to withstand high temperatures for a short period of time to make it retreat."
"You can't use yourself as a battle template, Merlin, there are only a handful of people in this world who have the same combat power as you."
Icarus is used to speaking with data. She projected the data templates of many booked heroes for comparison. She concluded:
"For most street heroes at present, this symbiosis is simply a crushing monster."
"But what I want them to take on is not just the responsibilities of street heroes."
Merlin pushed his glasses and said:
"Eddie's body has been transformed. He will die if he forced to strip the symbionts, but the remaining three symbionts must be transformed. If they are to be used as auxiliary combat means of the Avengers, then they must become more perfect."
"Merlin, look at the ground, there's something here!"
Icarus suddenly reminded me, and Merlin turned his head and looked behind him. Under the broken earth, there was a strange dark red mucus moving. It was very small, just like inconspicuous blood.
Merlin squatted down in surprise, held the thing in his hand with magic power, and then placed it in front of him. After a moment, he looked at the unconscious Eddie and the black symbiosis inside him, and he said:
"Is this an egg laid by a symbiont? Or is it a division?"
"Does these guys have this kind of characteristics?"

On the other hand, in the Isle of Island Prison, the commander of the Thunder Special Attack Team, Yong Roger, was packing up his own things in the cell.
Including the books on the history of the earth, their notes, and their favorite music discs that I have read in the past ten years of prison.
For a prisoner who is in prison for a long time, he doesn't have much.
But considering that he would be executed at any time after being captured by the Earthlings, it is already very good to be able to retain his life while owning these things.
Today, Yong Roger's imprisonment career ends.
He did a good job in commanding the Thunder Special Attack Team. He helped SHIELD a lot when cleaning up the residual Hydra in South America. After being reduced several sentences, he finally got freedom today.
Yong Roger once really thought he would never leave this place, but the turning point of fate was so wonderful that people on earth thought he was no longer threatened.
"Yong, we decided to give you a position."
Outside Yong Roger's cell, Agent Melinda of s.d.o.l.d. leaned against the door of the cell, and said to the Kerry, who was abandoned by her hometown:
"Just at the headquarters of S.d.o.l.d., the intelligence working group of the Kerry Empire, and one less record officer. Colson recommended you there, off every week, with his own office, monthly allowances, and we can also get you a car if you need it."
"Can I refuse?"
Yong turned his head and looked at Melinda, he moved his body, he said:
"I have fought a war for too long. I was a little tired when I fought for the Kerry Empire before and later served you. Maybe I need to rest for a while, for a long time."
"Sorry, no."
Melinda shrugged, and she said calmly:
"You have a special identity, and you and I know this, so it is good for us to accept this job."
"So it's just a different way of imprisonment."
Yong took his notebook and sat on the already packed bed. He glanced at Melinda and said:
"Merlin still doesn't plan to give me freedom. What are he still afraid of? Are he afraid that I will collude with Ronan to invade the earth?"
"I am frank, if Ronan saw my current situation, he would definitely kill me with one blow. In his eyes, I would use blood to clean up the failed prisoners like this, which would be a shame for the Kerry nobles."
"No, this actually has nothing to do with your identity as a Kerry, brave."
Melinda stood up straight, she said calmly:
"It's because of your experience over the years, you know a lot of things, which SHIELD doesn't want the outside world to know."
"We don't want to wash away your memories. You are a capable person and may take on more responsibilities in the future, so getting you into our system is the best way."
"Besides, are you sure you don't want to go out?"
The female agent commander changed into a gentler tone, and she said to Yong:
"Minerva is still waiting for you outside. She knows that you are out of prison today, so she specially asked for leave to wait for you at the airport. Do you still have the heart to let her get a disappointment today?"
"Minerva"
Yong looked at his diary, but his mind was not on this diary at all.
I don’t know when it started, but the fate of the two Cree people who fell to Earth, Minerva, was tied together, but the feeling of being needed and waiting for by others is actually good.
After more than ten seconds of silence, he stood up, threw the diary in his big bag, and then lifted the bag at hand, and he said to Melinda:
"Well, I accept your invitation, I will become an agent of SHIELD."
"But the same thing is that I need to take a break and take a good look at the world. The last time I came as an intruder, and this time I want to change my identity and see it."
"very good."
Melinda handed a card to Yong. Roger, she said:
"It should be enough to give you a month's vacation. Oh, by the way, Chief Merlin asked me to tell you that you will still serve as the commander of the Thunder Special Attack Team during this period until we find a qualified successor."
"In addition, the old players of the Thunder Special Attack Team are now withdrawing one by one because of the end of their sentences, which makes the Thunder Special Attack Team dead in name only, so you also need to recruit some new players."
"Sir Merlin has found one for you. After you spend the night with Minerva, you will go and meet your new team member."
Agent Melinda took a step back, she looked at Yong's appearance, then shook her head with some finickyness. She took out a stack of money from her wallet and handed it to the commander who was about to retire, and she said:
"After arriving in New York, go clean up, cut hair and face, and change your clothes."
Chapter completed!
