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

Chapter 403, Chapters 722 and 723: The Arrangement of Fate

Meanwhile, the street directly above the underground tunnel.

"Gwen, are you alright?"

When Peter the Lizard carried Harry Osborn and chased him all the way out of the abandoned subway station, he hadn't run more than a few steps when he saw Gwen standing there, staring blankly at the dark night sky.

Clearly, the opponent was unable to catch up with the Void Knight, who possessed the ability to fly.

However, in Peter the lizard's opinion, this might actually be a good thing!

"Oh, I...I'm fine."

Gwen shook her head slightly, but her voice revealed a deep sense of disappointment.

Looking at the dark night sky, she finally suppressed the idea in her heart to expose Eddie Brock's true identity through the Daily Bugle, thus turning him into a 'public enemy'.

The reason was simple: she had to avenge her father's death with her own hands!
Eddie Brock, I'll let you live for two more days...

Having made up her mind, Gwen turned to look at Peter the Lizard, who was standing in front of her with a concerned expression, and Harry Osborn, who was being carried on her shoulder and looked unwilling, and said softly:
"Peter, Harry, thank you... Now that the [Subspace Corporation] has taken over this place, let's go home!!"

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In a private mansion in New York.

"Lord Void Knight, I've sent people to investigate, and it seems the police haven't made any new progress!"

Deehar prostrated himself respectfully on the ground, reporting to Eddie Block, who was dressed in the Symbiote, "And even the Daily Horn hasn't reported anything about the underground hideout or the Beacon Tree yet..."

"Huh? How could this happen?"

Eddie Block frowned deeply upon hearing this, muttering to himself with a face full of doubt, "The [Subspace Corporation] has clearly discovered the existence of the [Beacon Tree]. Logically speaking, they would never let go of such an opportunity to boast about their strength, right?"

"Damn it, what the hell is that damned Karl Mara up to?"

Previously, fearing exposure and a nationwide manhunt, Eddie Brock went directly to Deehar for emergency refuge after successfully escaping the underground secret base that night.

He had even planned to first escape from America, then secretly develop and expand his power in other countries before making a 'triumphant return'.

Although he lost nearly half of his Loyal Symbiotes, as long as he can successfully establish the Beacon Tree, he can still receive a steady stream of troop support from Nar.

But to his surprise, after hiding in fear for two days, he discovered that neither the Subspace Corporation, nor S.H.I.E.L.D., nor even the police showed any sign of wanting to cause him any trouble.

This bizarre situation left Eddie Brock completely bewildered.

"Wait a moment……"

Suddenly, Eddie Block seemed to consider a highly improbable possibility, and muttered somewhat uncertainly:

"Could it be that the Spider Woman didn't tell anyone else my true identity?"

"But that doesn't make any sense at all!!"

Eddie Brock tried hard to recall the scene of his battle with Spider Woman two days ago. Even though she was wearing a mask, he could still clearly feel the intense hatred emanating from her youthful body.

It's no exaggeration to say that at that time, the Spider Woman clearly wanted to kill him.

So why is the other party now trying to 'keep it a secret' for him?
Eddie Block was completely baffled, but the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off, because it was just too illogical.

Could it be that the Spider Woman has already revealed her true identity to the Subspace Corporation, and that despicable and ruthless Karl Mara is secretly plotting something, waiting for her to take the bait?
Just as Eddie Block was hesitating, his phone suddenly rang.

"You can go now... keep an eye on news from the outside world."

Eddie Brock raised his hand and waved to Deehar, who was kneeling in front of him. After Deehar left the room, Eddie returned to normal and quickly took out his phone from his pocket to check it.

"Ok?"

To my surprise, the call was from S.H.I.E.L.D.

After some thought, Eddie Block finally answered the phone, and Maria Hill's voice immediately came through.

"Eddie Block, where have you been these past two days? Why have you been absent from work without permission? Didn't you study the relevant management regulations before you started working here?"

"I must remind you that if you are absent from work without a valid reason for more than three days, you will not receive your year-end bonus."

Faced with Maria Hill's barrage of questions, Eddie Block was initially bewildered, but then a secret thrill began to creep into his heart.

Because of the blessing of [Grendel], he can now accurately distinguish whether what the other person is saying is true or false simply by their voice.

That means that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not yet aware that he is actually the Void Knight.

This news was undoubtedly fantastic for Eddie Brock.

At least for now, things haven't gone in the worst possible direction.

That means he still has room to maneuver with Karl and the [Subspace Group]!

Just as Eddie Block was about to make up an excuse, Maria Hill spoke again on the other end of the phone in a commanding tone:

“Recently, the [Insight Hangar] is short-staffed and needs to send a few agents over to help. You are one of them... So no matter what excuses or reasons you have, you must come back to work immediately, or you will be completely removed from [S.H.I.E.L.D.].”

"I know... beep beep beep!!"

Before Eddie Brock could reply, Maria Hill had already hung up. There was nothing she could do; after all, he'd never been very popular within S.H.I.E.L.D.
"[Hangar Insight]? This is truly a godsend..."

Eddie Block's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and an undisguised look of excitement appeared on his face.

It's important to know that there's an unwritten rule within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Those who can enter the [Insight Hangar] are almost all Level 6 or above, with sufficient seniority, and are 'old' agents who are deeply trusted by Director Nick Fury.

Eddie Brock had previously considered sneaking into the Insight Hangar to do something underhanded, but due to his insufficient clearance level and lack of trust from Nick Fury, he was unable to do so.

Right now, Nick Fury's sudden permission for him to enter the Insight Hangar, even if it still doesn't prove that the former trusts him enough, at least indirectly confirms that Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. are not yet aware that he is the Void Knight.

In this way, he can not only 'lay low' in the [Insight Hangar], but also take the opportunity to do some small things on the three new generation [Sky Carriers] that are under construction.

"Hehe, it's like someone brought me a pillow just as I was about to doze off."

Eddie Block licked his chapped lips and said to Grendel, whose small, dragon-head-shaped head popped out from behind him:
"Now, in addition to those Titan Hunter mechs, we're getting three more flying toys!!"

……

S.H.I.E.L.D.

After hanging up the phone, Maria Hill stared at the page on her iPad that listed Eddie Block, a name that had been filtered by the 'Insight System's' intelligent algorithm and met the relevant requirements. A strange expression appeared on her face.

"That's strange. Is it a coincidence or is there a problem with the system algorithm? How could such a useless guy possibly pass?"

"But...should we tell the director about this?"

After thinking it over, Maria Hill decided not to provoke her boss at this time, since he hadn't been in a good mood these past few days.

If I were to rush over and report this now, I might get a scolding for no reason.

However, neither Maria Hill, who was filled with doubt, nor Eddie Block, who was feeling smug, realized that Eddie Block's inclusion on the list was not a coincidence, but rather the work of Dr. Anim Zola.

At this moment, deep within the data network connecting Maria Hill's iPad and the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., Dr. Arnim Zola, whose figure is formed from countless torrents of azure blue data, is using his 'Insight System' administrator privileges to closely monitor every move of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This naturally includes the Titan Hunter Jaeger Project, a collaboration between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the PPDC, as well as... the Ultron System that Tony Stark and Reed Richards are currently building.

"Hehehe, flesh and blood are weak and feeble, machinery ascends, the gears of fate have begun to turn, and the great [Lord of All Changes] has already foreseen everything..."

…………

……

In the vast universe.

An asteroid, formed by the convergence of hundreds of thousands or even millions of symbiotes, is quietly floating in a completely dark region where no light can reach.

This planet, composed of "living organisms," is the prison that confines Nar—the symbiotic homeworld of Klyntar!

Suddenly, a beam of azure light pierced through the void of darkness, then rapidly expanded outward from a single spark, instantly enveloping the entire planet [Klinta] and forming a special domain filled with [spatial power] around the planet.

The next instant, under the powerful and irresistible force of spatial energy, Planet Klinta vanished from the void of darkness and was directly transported to a special dimensional space constructed of pure psionic energy, isolated from the physical universe and devoid of all physical laws and even the concepts of time and space.

Inside the planet Krintar, Nal, whose entire body was firmly bound to the throne by countless flowing black symbiotic tentacles, suddenly raised his head and looked up as if he had sensed something amiss.

Around the throne, nearly a hundred large monsters, with heads like ants with two pairs of giant pincers, mouths full of sharp teeth, six slender abdominal legs like arthropods, hard shells like sea turtles on their backs, and three long, narrow tails covered with spikes, suddenly became somewhat restless.

These bizarrely shaped monsters are called "Otherworldly Devourers," and they are the true trump card in Nar's hands.

The [Heterogeneous Phage] is ferocious by nature and possesses super explosive power; with just a charged leap, it can traverse a distance of nearly several thousand meters.

It also possesses an extremely terrifying tracking ability, capable of accurately locating targets even thousands of miles away, and reaching the destination at top speed after locking onto the target, making it virtually impossible for prey to escape its pursuit.

In addition, these [Alien Devourers] possess extremely strong defense and self-healing abilities. Their carapaces are incredibly hard, and ordinary weapons cannot even penetrate them.

Their self-healing ability is even more terrifying. Unless their bodies are completely erased instantly, even if they are cut into pieces, they can reassemble in a very short time.

This ability makes it almost impossible for the [Heterophagus] to be completely killed in battle.

But the most powerful aspect of the [Heterogeneous Devourer] is its ability to provide support without any range restrictions.

If they are at a disadvantage or at a disadvantage in combat, they can summon their kind from other planets to provide support by opening remote portals.

It can also release powerful sound waves, causing all symbiotes within a certain area to instantly lose their combat ability and detach from the host's body, thereby ensuring its own safety.

This powerful species is a killing machine that Nar specifically created to deal with those disobedient "symbiotes".

No matter how powerful the [symbiote] is, it can only obediently wait for death in front of this group of [alien venoms].

The only drawback is that the number of [Heterophagus] is very limited, with only a little over a hundred.

"Huh? What's with this... no, what are these many suddenly appearing powerful auras? Could it be that a [Dimensional Demon God] is passing by the vicinity of [Klinta]?"

"But that doesn't make sense. How could so many [Dimensional Demons] pass by at the same time, and... they even seem to have gathered together?"

Nar looked puzzled. He had clearly sensed the changes outside the planet Klinta, but these strange changes were really puzzling.

At that moment, he felt the entire planet Klinta... no, to be precise, all the opposition symbiotes that made up Klinta suddenly tremble violently for some unknown reason, and the entire planet showed signs of impending 'disintegration'.

Even the symbiotic tentacles that had bound his body for thousands of years became terrified and restless.
