The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 380 Chapter 676 Chapter 677 Seeking Help from Subspace Group

The laboratory was brightly lit, and the indicator lights on the instruments were flashing and emitting a faint buzzing sound.

Inside the isolation chamber, the piercing infrasound still echoed in the air. The prisoner possessed by the symbiote struggled desperately under his restraints, letting out painful screams.

"Excellent, it seems the awakening experiment was a success... This also proves that noise is still effective against these newly emerged [symbiotes]!"

Peter Parker stood in front of the control panel and let out a long sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face.

In his view, as long as the enemy still has weaknesses, there is still room to salvage the current situation.

"Now, let's gradually reduce the intensity of the sound waves and find the range that will just be enough to make both of them 'quiet'."

As Peter Parker spoke, he stared intently at the constantly changing data on the computer screen, his bloodshot eyes still bright and alert.

His hands moved rapidly across the keyboard, his slender fingers dancing across the keys like a pianist, producing a series of crisp, clear tapping sounds.

It must be said that Peter Parker's talent in scientific research far surpasses that of Gwen and Harry Osborn, who are present at the scene.

His sheer amount of patience alone is something that others can only dream of!
Not long after, a glint of excitement flashed in Peter Parker's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He had successfully found that delicate threshold that allowed the Symbiote to remain attached while also keeping it calm.

An excited smile spread across his face. He turned to look at Gwen and Harry Osborn behind him and shouted excitedly, "Found it!"

"Peter, you're a true genius!"

Harry Osborn glanced at the symbiote warrior lying quietly on the experimental table inside the isolation chamber, as if frozen in place. His eyes widened, his face full of amazement and admiration, and he couldn't help but praise him.

Even Gwen, standing to the side, couldn't help but nod vigorously in agreement, but her bright eyes were now fixed on the spiral-shaped special pattern on the symbiote warrior's face, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression focused.

The pattern is almost identical to the bloodstained symbol that Sheriff Frank had told her about, which was found in Ravencraft Prison!
It seems there's some kind of relationship between the two that she's currently unaware of...

Gwen fell into deep thought, her mind racing with various ideas.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker had entered a state of complete absorption in his research, his hands flying across the keyboard with lightning speed. After being single for over twenty years, his typing speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see his movements.

His eyes were fixed on the computer screen, not blinking for a moment, and he quickly produced a series of experimental data.

"This prisoner's physical functions have all been greatly enhanced. However, since we do not currently have the testing data for the symbiote warriors that have appeared before, we cannot determine at this time whether this [symbiote] has evolved or mutated!"

Peter Parker muttered to himself as he looked at the data, his voice low and focused, as if everything around him was irrelevant.

"what?"

Suddenly, Peter Parker seemed to have discovered something interesting. His eyes widened, and he pointed to a piece of data on the computer screen, urgently speaking to the two people behind him:
“Gwen, Harry, look… The Quantum Microwave Scanner detected a large amount of abnormal psychic energy in his brain, all originating from that [symbiote], and his consciousness seems to be controlled by that psychic energy, with extremely low activity!”

“So…” Gwen, seeing this, pinched her chin with her hand, lowered her head slightly, and recalled thoughtfully, “No wonder these symbiote warriors acted like a bunch of mindless beasts, completely different from the symbiote hosts that have appeared before!”

"Wait a minute!" Gwen suddenly looked enlightened and turned to Peter Parker, asking:

“Peter, I remember you said before that when you fought this prisoner, he entered a state of unconsciousness when the [symbiote] detached from him?”

“That’s right.” Peter Parker nodded truthfully, though he had no idea what his goddess was thinking.

Seeing this, Gwen spoke her suspicions with a grave expression, "If that's the case, it's very possible that someone is using these newly emerged [symbiotes] to build a 'psychic network' similar to [Hive Mind], so that they can control these 'avatars' to do evil anytime, anywhere without any hindrance!"

"[Honeycomb Mindset]?!"

Peter Parker and Harry Osborn were both startled. The latter's mouth gaped open, and he asked in bewilderment:
“Spider… no, Gwen, it’s not that I don’t believe your reasoning, but the question is, is it really possible for someone to control thousands of symbiote warriors at the same time?”

As he spoke, he shook his head. "And another thing is, the person who orchestrated all of this went to such great lengths, risking exposure to convert over five thousand prisoners at Ravencraft Prison, but instead of ordering them to immediately launch a full-scale attack on the city, they were instructed to hide in the sewers and ambush civilians returning home at night... That doesn't make much sense!"

However, isn't Harry Osborn's doubt also Gwen's doubt?
This whole affair has been shrouded in an unsettling mystery from the very beginning. If the real culprit behind it all is Eddie Brock, whom she has always suspected, then what is the purpose of such a elaborate operation?
Gwen bit her lip, lost in deep thought.

Just then, Peter Parker, who had been staring intently at the computer screen, suddenly spoke up: "Hey? Come take a look at this..."

He pointed to a red dot that kept flashing on the screen and explained to the two of them, "I just tried to convert the mental energy released by this [symbiote] into a corresponding radiation signal, hoping to find out the whereabouts of other symbiote warriors in [New York] by tracing back to the source, but I failed in the end."

Peter Parker sighed softly, a hint of regret on his face, but he quickly perked up again and said excitedly:

"However, I unexpectedly discovered this... a very strong signal source!"

"This looks like some kind of special 'beacon' that is sending a signal."

Harry Osborne frowned, his expression serious, and said, "It seems Gwen was right this time. Someone is using these symbiotes to control the prisoners who escaped from Ravencraft Prison, secretly plotting some grand scheme!"

"But whatever that guy is planning, he's already way ahead of us!"

"Peter, can you pinpoint a more precise location?"

Harry Osborn clenched his fist and said righteously, "No matter what that bastard behind the scenes is up to, the citizens of New York are innocent. So we must do everything in our power to prevent this tragedy from happening, and we absolutely cannot let that damned bastard get his way!"

At this moment, the voice of this promising young rich kid was filled with a sense of mission that commanded respect.

“This… let me try!” Peter Parker typed furiously on the keyboard, his fingers dancing across the keys, and soon a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, he shook his head helplessly at the two of them in the end, saying with some disappointment, "It seems that the energy signal released by this [symbiote] alone is not enough to accurately locate the specific position of that 'beacon'..."

“However, I can try to make a signal source tracker, and then as long as this symbiote warrior is released back, it shouldn’t be long before he can lead us to the location of that ‘beacon’, right?”

“Peter, you’re a genius!” Harry Osborn’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, sparkling with excitement. He gave a thumbs-up and his admiration was evident on his face.

"However, if we want to resolve this insane conspiracy once and for all, it seems a bit too weak for just the three of us, doesn't it?"

As Harry Osborn pondered this crucial question, his smile faded and his brow furrowed once more.

Peter Parker wholeheartedly agreed, turning to Gwen, who was deep in thought, and said:

"Gwen, should we tell Homelander this?"

"If the other members of the Super Seven were willing to join, dealing with those thousands of symbiote warriors would be much simpler for us."

“This… I’m afraid it won’t work!” Gwen shook her head with a conflicted expression, biting her lip, and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Homelander seems to have been focusing all his energy on a project called something like the Metaverse lately, and has no interest in anything else.”

"Moreover, even if he had the time, we absolutely cannot let him join... because he might very well slaughter all the symbiote warriors."

Gwen's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance. "Those prisoners are criminals, but they have already been punished by law. Besides, their consciousness was completely controlled by those symbiotes this time, and they had no choice in the matter. So we can't blame them for this."

“Yes, Gwen is right about that.” Harry Osborn looked at Gwen with admiration and nodded vigorously. “In this matter, the prisoners at Ravencraft Prison are also victims. We can’t let them become scapegoats for no reason, but…”

After a slight pause, Harry Osborn continued with some hesitation, "But this will undoubtedly make our operation much more difficult. The three of us simply can't handle thousands of symbiote warriors. We need help... someone strong enough!"

The laboratory fell silent. The three of them seemed trapped in a vicious cycle from which they could not move forward.

The atmosphere gradually became tense and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

"that……"

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Peter Parker, his eyes lit up, and as if he had thought of something, he excitedly said:

"Gwen, if we can't reach out to Homelander and the Seven, what if we ask the Subspace Corporation for help directly? Would they be willing to lend a hand?"

"[Subspace Group]?"

Harry Osborn's eyes widened, clearly not unfamiliar with the name... no, it was practically a household name!
Wow, Peter, you're amazing! You've managed to get involved with such a massive business empire?
"It's hard to say, but I can give it a try!"

Gwen was clearly tempted as well, after all, the reputation of the [Subspace Group] was known to everyone.

After those classic "savior battles" that everyone knows about, this multinational corporation is now regarded as a "savior" by the vast majority of New York City residents.

The problem is that New York is not part of Sokovia.

Furthermore, almost every action taken by the Subspace Group was ultimately funded by the Ministry of National Defense and other countries around the world.

Gwen has always suspected that Eddie Brock is involved in this incident.

However, considering that the other party is both an employee of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a member of the new Avengers, they have intricate connections with the official organization.

If Eddie Brock is indeed the mastermind behind this series of events, then if Gwen reports the information she has found to the authorities, it will inevitably alert him, so the path of 'reporting to the authorities' is not viable.

Given this, Gwen has no guarantee what the chances are of them successfully 'getting' the Subspace Group's combat power for free.

However, anything is possible with effort. How can you know you won't succeed if you don't even try?

So the three of them brainstormed and discussed the matter in the laboratory, each contributing their ideas.

The final decision was to first call Asia Space Group for support.

Meanwhile, Peter Parker and Harry Osborn work together to create a tracking device, and then use the captured symbiote warrior to search for the exact location of the 'beacon' that is sending out signals!

…………

……

In an abandoned tunnel several miles underground in New York, the damp walls are covered with moss and emit a pungent, putrid stench.

A colossal tree, its shape resembling flesh and blood, with a diameter of at least ten meters, lies across this space.

Beneath this 'giant tree', thousands of symbiote warriors, completely controlled by the [Loyal Symbiote], climbed in batches and in turns to the designated 'tree holes' on the 'giant tree', much like obedient worker ants in an anthill.

Their movements were mechanical and stiff, constantly releasing some kind of special spiritual energy, and the entire tunnel was filled with an eerie and dangerous atmosphere.
