"Holy crap! Boss, you're awesome! You can even control these Xenophages!"
Having been parasitized on Ryan for a long time and picked up his vernacular, Riot couldn't help but exclaim.
"Interesting. An extra Xenophage legion? A pleasant surprise..."
The individual combat power of a Xenophage is much stronger than an ordinary Symbiote; it can easily hunt down hosts parasitized by ordinary Symbiotes!
And when the number of these Xenophages forms a legion, it is even more terrifying than any biological army in the Universe.
Like Thanos's biological weapons, in front of the Xenophages, they probably wouldn't even qualify as fodder!
"Alright, time to collect the next trophy..."
Ryan's gaze turned towards the edge of the cliff, and his hand holding all-black the necrosword suddenly flicked without warning.
A crescent-shaped, tens-of-meters-long red-gold light wave immediately cut across, slicing off a large section of the cliff, which fell down the cliff with a rumble.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong over there?"
Having just walked up behind Ryan and seeing nothing, Gwen and the others couldn't help but be a bit confused.
"The Symbiote that was forcibly stripped from Gorr by my punch just now didn't die. It's very special, and I think I've found a suitable Symbiote for our little Gwen..."
Ryan twirled the sword, his gaze fixed on the collapsed cliff.
Whoosh——————
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the sound of a hurricane arose from the cliff.
Swish——————
The next moment, a massive red Western dragon roared up from the mountains, flapping its wings desperately as it fled into the distance.
It was actually a Symbiote dragon!
Those huge bat wings were exactly the same as Gorr's from before; it was clearly the Symbiote that had previously parasitized Gorr!
"Want to escape?"
Ryan smiled disdainfully and waved his right hand. The all-black the necrosword in his hand turned into a streak of red-gold light, instantly catching up to the red Symbiote dragon that had already fled over ten thousand meters, and plunged into its back.
The next instant, Ryan's figure disappeared from where he stood and appeared on the back of the red Symbiote dragon, his hand gripping the hilt of all-black the necrosword.
Then, Ryan slashed horizontally to the right with the sword. A cold red-gold light flashed by, and the red Symbiote dragon's massive right bat wing was instantly severed at the root as if by a mirror!
"Awoo——————"
Losing one wing made it impossible for the red Symbiote dragon to maintain its balance in the air, and amidst painful wails, it fell toward the ground.
Rumble——————
Smashing into the ground, the red Symbiote dragon slid for over a thousand meters with a roar before finally coming to a stop.
"Awoo..."
The red Symbiote dragon struggled, trying to get up from the ground, and the area where its right wing had been lost writhed, seemingly trying to repair the lost wing.
Puchi————
But when Ryan plunged all-black the necrosword into the red Symbiote dragon's back again, a red-gold light flashed on the sword, and its regenerative ability immediately stopped writhing!
This was another ability of all-black the necrosword: to restrain all Symbiotes!
It was a restraint even more thorough than Anti-Venom.
Once injured by all-black the necrosword, as long as Ryan didn't withdraw the power attached to the injured Symbiote, that Symbiote could be considered completely ruined.
It would lose all its abilities and could only wait in despair to be completely corroded and killed by the power of all-black the necrosword!
Unlike the ability of Anti-Venom, which, although it could weaken other Symbiotes, still allowed them to recover over time.
Ryan jumped off the red Symbiote dragon, which had become weak due to all-black the necrosword being stuck in its body.
He then grabbed its tail, swung it around, and threw it toward the cliff.
"Haha, I'll catch it!"
Watching a huge red shadow hurtling toward them like a meteor, Riot immediately stepped forward, leaped up, and raised his hands above his head, intending to catch the red Symbiote dragon.
Then...
Bang————
Riot underestimated the power carried by this red Symbiote dragon and was smashed directly into the ground, pinned beneath the red Symbiote dragon.
Ryan couldn't be bothered to fly or teleport; with one big jump, he crossed the distance of over ten thousand meters and landed on the red Symbiote dragon on the cliff as well.
After pulling out all-black the necrosword that was stuck in the red Symbiote dragon, Ryan jumped down, glanced at the two Gwens, and asked with some confusion:
"Where's Riot?"
Hearing this, the two Gwens' mouths twitched, and they simultaneously pointed under the red Symbiote dragon.
They saw Riot digging through the dirt, crawling out like a groundhog.
...
Ryan was speechless: "I specifically threw it toward an empty patch of land. How did it still manage to hit you?"
Riot climbed up, too embarrassed to say that he had overestimated himself and wanted to catch the 'frisbee' Ryan had thrown. He looked at the sky and chuckled: "Haha, I was just bored earlier and thought I'd take a walk, and I just happened to accidentally walk into that spot..."
Ryan: ...
With that explanation, why do you seem even stupider...
Ryan shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and beckoned to Gwen.
Gwen walked over obediently.
Ryan took her hand and pressed it onto the red Symbiote dragon's body.
"Relax, I'll help you imprint your soul mark onto its soul..."
After Ryan whispered this instruction, the power of the Soul Stone entered Gwen's body, and carrying a trace of her soul power, it entered the red Symbiote dragon's body.
However, this was the first time Ryan's soul had entered Gwen's soul, so he felt a bit curious for a moment and couldn't help but take an extra look.
Because compared to his pure white soul space, Gwen's soul space was actually pink.
And it was filled almost entirely with memory images of his time with Gwen.
Seeing this, the smile on Ryan's face couldn't help but deepen.
It's a pity today isn't 520; otherwise, he would definitely have thrown some dog food around~
Soon, with Ryan's help, Gwen's soul mark was successfully imprinted onto the red Symbiote dragon's soul.
Incidentally, Ryan also cleared all the memories of this red Symbiote dragon.
After all, it was created by Knull, and if it retained its former memories, who knows what kind of accidents might happen.
After all, Gwen is not him; she doesn't have the Soul Stone, the Mind Stone, or such a powerful soul. He didn't want her to be corrupted and turn evil by the red Symbiote dragon's past dark memories.
After completely binding this red Symbiote dragon, its dragon body turned into a red liquid substance and entered Gwen's body.
Ryan let go of Gwen and let her feel the new power herself.
After about five minutes, Gwen became familiar with the new Symbiote power. With a thought, her spider suit was also covered in a more textured red Symbiote, eventually turning into a pure red spider suit!
The two Gwens, who originally had identical spider suits, finally had a significant difference in their suits: one pure white, one pure red.
Gwen, just like the main Universe Gwen, clenched her fists and jumped in place, testing her increased strength.
But this time, the height Gwen jumped was a bit exaggerated.
Gwen just gave a light jump and leaped tens of meters high, which even startled her!
You have to know, this height was only what she could reach with all her might before!
And now she had achieved it without using much force at all!
After landing, Gwen patted her chest, still shaken, and said: "It's too exaggerated, too exaggerated! I feel like my strength hasn't just increased by three times like Gwen said; I feel like my overall stats have increased by at least ten times!"
