Chapter 448 – #449 Counterfeit Venom, Venom’
#449 Counterfeit Venom, Venom
I was astonished when I confirmed the appearance of the monster.
“Venom?!”
DC, Marvel, and even Sony.
Originally, Venom is a Marvel character, but anyway, the copyright belongs to Sony.
Ah, Sony reminds me of our Sonny hyung. A long time ago, when Sonny came out of FIFA, I watched a video of gukppong every day where foreigners were upset. I hope you are doing well now.
‘No, this isn’t it.’
“… No. You’re not Venom.”
Take out-! Be ‘nom’, that ‘nom’ This is a rhyme.
Anyway, that guy wasn’t Venom. Obviously, it looks similar to Spider-Man’s nemesis and hugely popular villain Venom, but the details are different.
That guy was an imitation of Venom. He should be called Ben ‘Num’ for ease of calling.
“Hey Oberon.”
“Ugh… You… Steel Armor…”
“Yes, I’m Steel Armor. Are you okay?”
“This is… Cool! It looks fine…”
“Looking at what you’re saying, I’m not going to die right away.”
The strong seat Oberon answered while vomiting blood. He didn’t look like he was going to die any time soon. I need to hear Benum’s true identity, so I’ll have to treat him.
“Keeeee!”
“This bastard?”
But Benum got in my way. Benum screamed and rushed at me. Although it stood on two legs, it jumped on all fours like a beast, using its arms when it attacked me.
When he came within range of me, I kicked him in the leg.
“Keeek!”
“Huh?”
Benum’s response exceeded my expectations. If you run fast, inertia is bound to attach, but he completely ignored the laws of nature.
While lowering his body as if he were lying face down, Benum avoided my leg by rotating his body upward as if doing a backtumble when I kicked his leg up.
Chew-!
Also, at the same time he evaded, he swung his arms and scratched my chest. The suit made of nine-tailed fox skin was torn as lightly as paper.
“You fucking bastard!”
“Kick Kick Kick!”
“Split?!”
When I rushed at him in anger at the torn suit, Benum laughed at me and ran back. Do you dare to laugh at me Sparks flew from his eyes.
“You wouldn’t have known this either!”
Roaring-!
Like X-Men’s hero Cyclops, it spewed fire from its eyes. It was Benum, who showed agile movements, but did not expect this.
“Keeeee-!”
Although the power was weaker than that of the flame position, fire was fire. Benum, who had received a direct flamethrower in the face, struggled in pain.
“You searched for it, you filthy bastard!”
Meanwhile, I grabbed Benum’s left arm. I wanted to grab him by the collar, but there was nowhere to grab him.
“That’s what a steel punch is, you phony bastard!”
Having succeeded in catching Benum, I used my steel skin and thrust my fists into his face one after another. The fire I lit was extinguished by my fist. Benum’s head swung around.
“Key, Kiiik!”
Benum waved his arms to get away from me, but to no avail. Then he made an extreme choice.
Chew-!
“Keeeee!!!”
“Have you seen such a tough fake?”
Benum cut off his left arm and fled backwards. Cutting one’s own body was not an easy choice, but it was quite good for a fake. Having lost his left arm, Benum staggered, unable to keep his balance.
“You can’t laugh at me like that… Huh?”
As I approached him condescendingly, I hesitated when I saw Benum’s face. It was because the gray skin peeled off and the true face hidden inside was revealed.
“What? Was it a real fake Venom?”
A human face was hidden under the gray skin. It was the face of a man who appeared to be in his late 30s or early 40s.
“That guy…My subordinate… Is Babylon…”
“Babylon? Sounds like a name that would make a damn good loan.”
Behind the scenes, Oberon told us Benum’s identity. It was very useless information.
“Whether it’s fake Venom or Babylon, if they attack me, I’ll have to go after them.”
He untied her hand and approached Benum. Then, suddenly, he spread his remaining hand and shouted at me.
“Now, wait a minute, Steel Armor!”
“How are you? Can you talk?”
Because his bare face was exposed, he was able to speak. He continued talking with an urgent face, afraid that I might approach.
“Aren’t you here to kill Oberon and take over the area? If so, I’ll take your place! I’ll take this area on your behalf and pay your taxes every month! Wouldn’t that be more convenient for you too!”
“Kuhhhhh… I was… Not a person… But trash… Cool!”
Oberon muttered bitterly from behind.
“Shut up! How long did you think I’d stay with you!”
“Are you saying that to me?”
“What?”
“Are you thinking of pretending to follow me like you did to Oberon and then stabbing you in the back?”
“Oh, no! And I always respect you! There’s no way I would betray you!”
“Ha…”
I sighed at Benum’s excuse.
“When this bastard opens his mouth, the gura comes out automatically.”
“What?”
“Hey you fucking bastard. Is the guy who says he respects me always saying half words at the end of his words? Huh? Besides, I saw him chewing, biting, tasting, and enjoying himself, and now he’s saying that? And…”
I walked towards Benum.
“If you want to play a ball, you have to hit a ball with soul. Are you asking me to believe that ball now while preparing something like that behind the scenes?”
“Kuh kuh! Die steel armor!”
Benum, who had a fishy smile on his face as if asking when he had made a desperate expression, swung at me with his left arm, which he had been hiding behind his back.
His left arm had apparently been cut off by himself, but it was fine as if it had never happened. No, rather, it was larger and sharper, like a giant spear.
I think that kid might be sick.
I secretly prepared an ambush from behind to distract me, but… There was a mirror behind Benum, so I could see everything.
“I’ll kill you and I’ll take all of your quarters!”
“Your dream is wild.”
Kwak-!
I blocked Benum’s left arm from stabbing me from the front. The power was quite good. However, even with this, I couldn’t penetrate the day when I even used the steel skin skill.
“Kick-kick-kick!”
His face was covered with gray skin again. That’s why it’s a real Venom fake.
Chow la la la rock-!
Gray skin sprouted like tentacles from the window I blocked, stabbing me from all sides. Although it was described as a tentacle, it was quite hard and pointed.
“Kick?”
But even though it pierced my suit, it couldn’t penetrate my skin. Well, where would these guys see a level 11 body enhancer?
The monsters out there aren’t the only monsters. The superman who jumped over the wall was also a monster.
The price of not meeting the real monster was high.
Kwadeuk-!
“Kyik?”
He pulled out the left arm that Benum had prepared.
“Kick?!”
Then he reached out and grabbed him by the neck. His gray skin was tough like rubber. However, if you pull the rubber to the point where the elasticity cannot withstand it, it will eventually tear.
He grabbed him by the shoulder with his left hand and pulled him by the neck. A strong resistance was felt.
Crisp-!
But his gray skin was tearing.
“Kick! Kiik! Kieeik!”
Sensing danger, Venum hurriedly scratched and hit my arm that was holding his neck. I ignored his resistance and continued to pull on his neck.
Jjijijijijik-!
Benum’s neck grew longer and longer.
“Suck!”
“Kiyiyiyiik!!!!!”
Chew-!
He took a deep breath and pulled his neck with all his might. Benum’s head was plucked out.
“Kee, keeiik…”
Perhaps because the host died, the gray skin that covered Benum’s entire body evaporated like water. Once the gray skin was gone, he was back as a Babylonian or something.
[Psychic [Body Transformer (Lv.8)] Tattoo has been added.]
[You can use the tattoo as a sacrifice to increase the EXP (8.00%) of the 10th psychic power [Body Mutator (Lv.
[Would you like to offer that tattoo as a sacrifice?]
I was lucky.
The psychic power that Benum, no, Babylon, had [Body Transformer], Was the psychic power I had. After absorbing his psychic ability, I had no reason to reject it, so I increased my psychic experience.
“Her…”
“Huh? You’re not dead yet? After all, it’s strong.”
Looking back, Oberon was still alive and not dead. He looked at Babylon’s head with a broken face, then at me with bewildered eyes.
“Pull out the whole head…”
“So? What are you complaining about?”
“…”
I approached him. He squatted down and met Oberon’s eyes.
“If you’re going to kill me, kill me quickly.”
Oberon closed his eyes saying that as if he thought I was going to kill him.
“Cure.”
“… Hmm?”
But I didn’t kill him. Even if I kill Oberon, I will find out who the fake Venom is and kill him.
“Your body… Is recovering? What the hell are you…”
Oberon was astonished when the wounds on his body began to heal rapidly. Is it so strange that I have multiple psychic powers? All of them have the same reaction.
Push the protruding organs inside! Then the split belly was glued on. If his severed left arm was intact, he could have put it on, but unfortunately, his left arm was in the belly of Babylon.
Still, in case you didn’t know, I asked him.
“Do you want me to take your arm out there and attach it to you? Or do you want me to attach that guy’s left arm?”
“… Neither of you.”
“Sure.”
I respect other people’s tastes. Preferences should be respected.
Having healed all the wounds, I told him.
“Because I have so many questions? So you’ll have to explain them all. More important than that, of course, is to end this war. Go tell your men to surrender.”
“… The loser should follow the winner’s word. I see.”
The stone-hard man rose from his seat. The war ended shortly after.
*****
Having left the situation to the mediator, I gathered my women, my godmother, the officers of the Floanne family, and finally Oberon, who had become a one-armed man.
After carefully looking at the corpse of Babylon, Godmother opened her mouth.
“You mean this person turned into such a monster, Steel Armor?”
“Yes. All of them are now gone, but it was definitely Benum, no, a gray-skinned monster. It was also this guy who ate Oberon’s left arm.”
“Hmm… It’s embarrassing, but everything Steel Armor said is true, Godmother.”
Oberon backed up my words with a drool. Godmother’s face hardened.
“It’s been around for a long time, but there’s always something new.”
New is usually good. But I couldn’t say it was all that good. It wasn’t even better if the new level 8 villain had enough power to easily crush the level 10 villain like it is now.
“Why don’t you talk soon?”
“That’s it. Um… Last night, no, this morning. A man came to see me.”
Oberon began to explain what had happened to her.
An uninvited visitor at dawn, and a pile of bizarre tentacles left by the uninvited guest.
Oberon, who was a gourmet, refused to eat the disgusting tentacles and let his subordinate Babylon eat them. Gray skin suddenly spurted out of Babylon’s body after eating the tentacles, and he evolved into the fake Venom, Venum.
And he killed his men who were there and attacked Oberon.
“Ummm…”
‘Is it a shadow killer?’
When it comes to tentacles, the first thing that comes to mind is the Shadow Killer. [Priest of Cthulhu] The Shadow Killer with psychic powers was a tentacle lover.
‘It was really terrifying.’
When I first fought the Shadow Killer, if the real Thanos hadn’t miraculously appeared, I would have been tied to the tentacles and suffered all sorts of terrible things.
The pile of tentacles coming like a tidal wave was clearly embedded in my brain, not even a real trauma, but on a level similar to that.
Anyway, if it was the Shadow Killer’s work, I was happy, but worried at the same time.
It’s because the Shadow Killer is a guy who can’t figure out what he’s going to do. Also, if it was something he was secretly preparing, it was probably something out of the ordinary.
‘I’ll go to Oberon’s room later and check it out.’
I’ll have to check to see if the person who handed over the tentacle to Oberon through the [Psychometry] Skill is the real Shadow Killer.
