Marvel's Venom, starting with a Hydra undercover agent.

"You look pathetic. Now you should know that being big isn't all that useful, right?" A voice suddenly came from the dim corner, accompanied by several rustling laughs.

Several pairs of yellow, beast-like eyes gleamed with a chilling light in the dim corner, from which a few lizardmen slowly emerged.

The sounds of these lizardmen made the larger suspect, who was fighting Holm, feel even more humiliated. He roared and used both of his arms to knock Holm back.

"Thud!" Holm threw the two lizard arms he had removed onto the ground, his eyes cold as he watched several more lizardmen appear.

In his perception, the top two floors were now empty, with only Dr. Lizard remaining on the top floor.

These suddenly appearing lizardmen must be the same lizardmen who were supposed to be guarding the top; the captivating battle between Holm and the large one had drawn their attention.

“This human is no ordinary being. Instead of laughing at me here, why don’t you try it yourselves?” the large lizardman said, looking at the other lizardmen not far away.

He usually used his size to mock and ridicule the guys, and today they finally got their chance.

Hearing the large lizardman's words, the other lizardmen chuckled coldly. The leader licked his teeth with his long, thin tongue and said, "We're not like you. You've only evolved muscles but not your brains. With so many of you here, why fight him one-on-one?"

"So what if he's special? He can beat one of you, but he definitely can't beat all of us together."

These lizardmen were equally robust in their claws and physiques, though not as exaggerated as the larger lizardmen, they were clearly more balanced.

More importantly, these few sentences reveal that although they are not as physically robust as the larger lizardmen, they are much more intelligent.

Outside the building, Gwen, hidden in a corner, couldn't help but feel her heart pound as she witnessed this scene.

Holm had just almost finished off the large lizardman, but unexpectedly, several more lizardmen appeared.

With these lizardmen as helpers, if they all attack together, Holm is very likely no match for them.

Thinking of this, Gwen also raised her fist, preparing to find a suitable opportunity to break the glass and rush in to help.

But at that moment, Holm, who was standing opposite several attractive people, also suddenly changed.

Faced with the confident siege of these lizardmen, Holm smiled strangely, then relaxed and opened his arms wide, as if calmly welcoming death.

Seeing his posture, the lizardmen were a little surprised, but they were not intimidated. They roared and charged forward, brandishing their claws.

Seeing the lizardmen baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, Holm maintained his smile and said softly, "It's up to you."

The next second, a viscous black liquid began to seep from Holm's body, surging and completely enveloping him like a living thing.

This time, the viscous black liquid was no longer limited to Holm's arms, but spread throughout his entire body.

By the time the lizardmen reached Holm, Holm had vanished, replaced by a black monster with a muscular build and a ferocious appearance, just like the larger lizardmen.

This monster had long, pale eyes, below which was an exaggerated and ferocious mouth filled with sharp teeth, and a scarlet tongue that writhed like a small snake.

"Heh heh, who looks weak now? Ready to be crushed to pieces by me? Weak lizardman." Venom's hoarse, unpleasant voice rang out as his hideous maw split open.

Before the lizardmen could react, Venom grabbed one of them with each hand, opened his mouth wide, shoved their heads into his mouth, and ripped them off one by one.

As the jaggedly severed lizard head fell off, two corpses spraying blood like small fountains were thrown to the ground. The remaining lizardmen reacted and hurriedly roared as they launched an attack on the venom.

Outside the building, Gwen stood there, still somewhat stunned, raising her fist and looking incredulously at what was happening inside.

Chapter 44, Dr. Lizard

Just as she was about to rush in to help, Holm suddenly transformed into a hideous and terrifying black monster, and in the blink of an eye, he dispatched the two lizardmen.

Although the remaining lizardmen reacted immediately and launched a fierce counterattack, they were no match for Holm and were torn in half one by one after a few moves.

"thump!"

Venom tossed the last lizardman's corpse to the ground and looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.

"Even though you can't hear me anymore, I still want to say that it was very enjoyable to exercise with you all, hahaha."

Accompanied by Venom's grating laughter, the viscous black liquid began to surge again, slowly returning to Holm's body.

In the blink of an eye, the hideous and terrifying black monster transformed back into Holm's appearance.

"Phew~ It feels really great to go all out." Holm sighed as he looked at the results in front of him, then looked at Spider-Woman who was observing from outside, smiled at her, and pointed to the rooftop.

Seeing Holm's actions, Gwen suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, nodded in response to Holm's actions, and continued to move upwards.

Since Holm had already dealt with all the lizardmen on the upper two floors in one go, Holm and Gwen quickly made their way to the rooftop.

One of them was in the open, and the other was in the shadows, continuing to carry out the plan they had just agreed upon.

The rooftop was dimly lit, with only distant searchlights and the Canary Islands facility operating nearby providing some illumination.

Beside the Canary Equipment, a massive figure, as large as a small mountain, was squatting there. He was wearing an oversized and somewhat worn white lab coat, constantly adjusting the equipment, and then pressed the start button as Holm arrived on the rooftop.

"Program is running, countdown in three minutes..."

As a crisp electronic sound rang out, the enormous body began to tremble, accompanied by a strange laugh, as if it were quite excited.

"Hey! Big guy! What's so funny? Tell me so I can have a laugh too!" Holm shouted, looking at the huge figure in the white coat not far away.

As he shouted, Gwen moved a short distance along the edge of the roof towards the device, keeping a close eye on Dr. Lizard's movements. She would go over and remove the reagents and install the serum once Dr. Lizard left the Canary Device.

Hearing Holm's shout, Dr. Lizard slowly stood up. His massive figure directly surpassed the Canary Equipment, making him even more imposing than when he was squatting there.

Besides its enormous size, its skin had turned a deep, dark green, and it looked more textured than a real reptile.

The armor plates covering his entire body and the slight ruggedness of his body made him look like a dinosaur from Jurassic World, rather than a lizardman.

His yellow eyes were larger and brighter than those of ordinary lizardmen, containing a mixture of cold savagery and human wisdom, making them appear complex and deadly.

"Little guy, are you here to stop me?" A hoarse voice slowly came from the Lizard Doctor's mouth, his yellow eyes filled with mockery and ridicule.

"What? Is it not allowed?" Holm smiled as he heard the lizard doctor's words.

"No wonder you're from the same species. Those lizardmen downstairs were just as arrogant and haughty as you. They didn't realize I wasn't joking until I took their heads off."

As Holm spoke, he took out his pistol, cocked it, and kept his eyes fixed on Dr. Lizard.

"Being able to kill those guys shows you're not bad, but you're still no match for me."

"Being able to cut off their heads doesn't mean you can hurt me. You can't even make me bleed a drop, not even with the gun in your hand."

As Dr. Lizard spoke, he moved his feet, and Holm could even feel the floorboards vibrating with his movements.

"Technology has indeed brought about tremendous changes to human life and given you the courage to point that little thing at me, but humanity itself has not gained much improvement."

"Now that I have corrected this mistake, can't you see how beautiful I am now, and how superior this form of life is?"

"A strong physique, a brilliant mind, unparalleled healing abilities, even the ability to regenerate severed limbs!"

"It is impossible for humans to do all this with just their genes, since even a minor illness or injury can be fatal."

"But now, by adding my latest findings to this genetic foundation, we can become a completely new species and the next benchmark for evolution."

As he said this, a hint of excitement appeared on Dr. Lizard's face, which was no longer recognizable as human, as if he could already see that bright future.

He then took a few more steps toward Holm and extended his tire-sized claws, as if inviting Holm to speak.

"Being able to solve their problems already demonstrates that you possess exceptional qualities, which sets you apart from the vast majority of ordinary people."

"Now I'm giving you a chance, an opportunity to have the honor of standing with me and welcoming the new era!"

"As the creator of this new era, I will make you even more extraordinary! I will make you the progenitor of a new species, just like Adam in the Bible!"

"Not quite there yet, the distance isn't enough." Holm thought to himself as he looked at the distance between Dr. Lizard and the Canary Device and himself.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and aimed his pistol at the lizard doctor's eyes, then fired while shouting, "Sorry, Doctor, I'd rather be a human than a lizard monster!"

"And I forgot to tell you, I don't believe in God!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several loud gunshots rang out as Holm spoke.

With a flash of light, several bullets whistled out, heading straight for Dr. Lizard's eyes.

Dr. Lizard reacted quickly to the bullets. As soon as he saw Holm's movement, he lowered his head slightly and reached out to block the bullets.

However, Holm seemed to have anticipated his movements. The trajectory of the last bullet was clearly different from the first two. Even though Dr. Lizard had reacted, the bullet still rushed in front of him and exploded with a bang after hitting below his eye.

Chapter 45, Procrastination

Although it didn't hit directly, the flash and shrapnel from the bullet's explosion still turned Dr. Lizard's left eye bright red.

Such an injury did not have a significant impact on Dr. Lizard; it didn't even cause him to bleed. It only caused some minor visual disturbances, and he would fully recover in no time.

More than the bullets exploding and squinting his eyes, he was furious at Holm's attitude and actions.

He saw that Holm was indeed no ordinary person, which is why he invited him to join this glorious and great evolution. However, his good intentions were ruthlessly trampled on.

"Since that's the case, then you might as well die!"

With a roar, Dr. Lizard charged toward Holm like a small mountain.

Seeing this, Holm also pulled the trigger repeatedly, but the bullets fired next were not even as effective as the previous few shots, only causing some small sparks to explode on Dr. Lizard's skin.

Seeing this, Holm did not panic. He threw the pistol directly at Dr. Lizard's face, while thick black liquid surged from his arms, forming a shield in his left hand and a black longsword in his right.

"Bang!" Dr. Lizard's tire-sized claws slammed into the black shield that Holm had raised, producing a loud bang.

Holm felt an immense force pressing down on the shield, and even the ground beneath his feet seemed to crack slightly.

"Ha, quite strong indeed." Behind the black shield, Holm's eyes met those of the Lizard Doctor.

His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, which made Dr. Lizard's surprise even more intense.

Dr. Lizard's power made Holm feel a bit of pressure, but at the same time, it also excited him.

Venom was in the same boat as him, howling and roaring inside Holm's body, wanting to teach the mountain-like Dr. Lizard a lesson.

In a flash, both of their thoughts raced. After his claws were blocked, Dr. Lizard did not hesitate at all and swung his other hand to grab at Holm.

At the same time, several sharp black tentacles suddenly appeared on Holm's body, heading towards Dr. Lizard's hand.

The sharp black tentacles pierced the lizard doctor's palm, but only left a few bloody marks, failing to achieve the desired penetrating effect.

Seeing this, Venom changed its strategy, instantly softening the sharp black needles and then tightly binding Dr. Lizard's hand, preventing him from advancing any further.

"What is this thing?!" Feeling the pulling sensation in his hand, Dr. Lizard was also extremely surprised.

He had never seen such a viscous black liquid that could deform at will, let alone one that could contend with his power.

No wonder he was able to take care of his lizardmen minions; such ability is unheard of.

Holm didn't waste the opportunity; he raised his right hand and thrust it hard at the Lizard Doctor's neck.

The sharp black blade slashed through the air, and although Dr. Lizard reacted quickly, his skin was still cut.
