I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 580 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
Agent Venom is poised and ready to face the slaughter that will descend from the sky. Venom himself isn't particularly worried; the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are watching closely.

If they really can't win, they won't need to be so stubborn; they'll just call Peter.

Lightning and Venom waited for a while but didn't see the red symbiote appear. Just when Lightning thought that the other party might have run away, a clump of irregular red slime fell heavily into the ground.

Then, a slender red arm, as thin as a skeleton, emerged from the slime. Carnage, supporting his slender body, roared as he charged toward Agent Venom. Lightning immediately used an American-style Iaijutsu, pulling out a gun and firing rapidly at Carnage.

Carnage, whose half-body emerged from the viscous symbiote, was immediately riddled with holes, but this did not hinder its continued movement. In fact, Carnage did not seem like a symbiote that coexists with a host at all. Instead, it seemed like a symbiote that could move freely without a host. After letting out a strange cry, it pounced on Venom, like a disgusting slime.

Then, Carnage, attached to Venom, reassembled himself amidst maniacal laughter. Countless sharp blades pierced Venom Agent's body simultaneously, and he reformed into human form, throwing Venom Agent directly out.

Because venom can also briefly exist in molecular form with its host and pass through walls, Lightning was not seriously injured for the time being. He immediately picked up an unmanned car, smashed it towards Carnage, and then pulled out a gun to fire and detonate it.

Fortunately, Venom can reassemble the disintegrated weapons, so Lightning has no shortage of weapons. However, seeing Carnage emerge from the explosion, even Lightning felt helpless.

"We have absolutely no way to physically harm him. My God, is physical damage ineffective against this thing?"

[Physical damage ineffective... Hmm?]

Upon hearing what Lightning said, Venom, which had formed a shield with symbiotes to block the massacre's attacks, seemed to have noticed something.

Regardless of whether Carnage is his offspring, Carnage has a very strange characteristic. Generally speaking, symbiotes have different levels of resistance to sound waves and fire depending on their strength, but this does not mean that they are not afraid of fire.

Even if you're not afraid, it's still fire. The temperature is high enough to burn a person to death or even char them. But Carnage and his host crawled out of the incinerator without any problems. This is strange no matter how you look at it. How can you be so powerful? You're not afraid of sound waves or fire. This can't be called resistance. This is immunity to fire damage.

But Lightning reminded Venom that Carnage might not actually be immune to fire and sonic damage, but instead find a way to make itself immune to them?

I suggest we retreat.

"What? But there are still many people around!"

But we are no match for this guy. To be precise, we have no way to deal with him. Retreat is the best option, and—

Venom paused for a moment, then seemed to sense something.

[And seeing that our S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were clearly calling for backup, it was time to retreat.]

A web clung to Carnage's face, yanking him up and slamming him to the ground. Spider-Man, clad in his white suit, landed in front of him, watching Carnage tear the web off. A web then stuck to Carnage's chest: "I heard there's a Hannibal around here. Sorry, New York doesn't welcome you."

"Both...law codes have arrived..."

Peter was taken aback when he heard this.

He learned from the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that Carnage called Venom "father," indicating that Carnage was indeed Venom's son in some sense. Therefore, Carnage's use of the term "Codex" was very strange, given the vast distance between Earth and Krinta, and the symbiote's inability to connect to its home network's consciousness. So where did Carnage obtain this knowledge about the Codex?

"Nar?!"

"You're going to die here, Spider-Man!"

Ignoring Peter's question, Carnage charged straight at him, constantly switching forms to defend against potential Spider-Man attacks. But Peter calmly raised his hand towards Carnage, and then Anti-Venom rapidly spread, transforming into a giant web that locked Carnage in place.

What are you babbling about? Just eat my anti-venom counteracting agent and you'll be fine.

The moment Carnage came into contact with Anti-Venom, it emitted an incredible shriek, almost causing the Anti-Venom to disintegrate. Carnage's surface began to dissolve rapidly. But Peter quickly realized something was wrong—Carnage was becoming lighter than he expected, and while Carnage had been purified, what about its host?
He immediately deactivated the anti-venom and discovered that from the very beginning, Carnage had been prepared when it charged at him, cutting off a portion of its mass before he was completely bound, allowing a part of it to burrow underground to moisten.

Moreover, the escape and the charge occurred almost simultaneously, as if there were two massacres taking place at the same time.

"It's really...strange. It's as if every part of its body operates independently, and it can act without a unified consciousness."

As Peter spoke, he used his spiderweb to pull out the remaining sample of the carnage from the ground, then used anti-venom to create a small net to secure it. He then crouched down, examining the marks on the ground, and began casting a spell to enhance his spider-sense.

In the future revealed by the web of fate—

He saw nothing.

If he hadn't realized the rate at which Carnage's quality decayed, then even with prophecy and anti-venom abilities alone, he probably wouldn't have been able to realize that Carnage wasn't actually dead. The failure of the prophecy also revealed a fact: he walked to the side of Lightning, looking at him with a very serious tone.

"The worst news is that the massacre was not so simple, and it is highly likely that Nar was behind it."

After hearing this, Lightning had only one question.

"Who is Nar?"

Peter: …………

[It's the God of Symbiotes. Last year's symbiote frenzy was driven by Gnar's consciousness, which should be sealed away by now.]

Venom explained to Flash that they both knew the purpose of the massacre: if Knuckles intended to return, he would have to kill the Venom that had consumed him and the Spider-Man who had sealed his consciousness.

I think he'll probably never get out of here in his lifetime.
