The two men violently clashed once more, but with the alien symbiotes entering the fray, the entire dynamic of the battle had fundamentally shifted.
The most drastic transformation belonged to Captain America. Unlike Loki, who naturally possessed the terrifying, pseudo-divine physical attributes of a Frost Giant, Steve Rogers was fundamentally still bound by the absolute limits of human biology. Even perfectly optimized by the Super Soldier Serum, he could never engage in a sheer battle of attrition against a superhuman monster like Loki.
But now, bonded with the pristine white symbiote, his physical constitution had finally transcended the boundaries of humanity!
The white symbiote morphed into a tether, violently yanking his fallen Vibranium shield back into his grasp. As soon as the metal touched his hand, the white bio-mass rapidly crawled over the shield, turning the iconic red, white, and blue into a stark, blinding white!
Captain America was a master of virtually every martial art known to man. In terms of pure, technical close-quarters combat, he was vastly superior to the God of Mischief.
Previously, the only reason he was losing was the apocalyptic gap in their raw physical stats and the interference of Loki's illusions. Skill could only bridge the gap so much.
Now, exponentially amplified by the symbiote, he could finally stand his ground against Loki, matching the Asgardian blow for blow!
However, Loki was also bonded with a symbiote. Furthermore, because symbiotes possessed the terrifying evolutionary trait of copying and amplifying their host's genetic abilities, the dark-silver Riot exponentially enhanced Loki's Frost Giant strength and his innate Asgardian magic!
Faced with this upgraded, terrifyingly powerful version of Loki, Captain America's newfound advantage began to slip. He couldn't hold out much longer and was visibly losing ground.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a massive section of the nearby brick wall was violently blown inward! A hulking, pitch-black figure exploded out of the rubble, charging straight at Loki!
Unlike Captain America and Loki, who maintained their humanoid forms and primarily used the symbiotes as bio-armor, this new figure was entirely dominated by the symbiote's mass. It was a towering, monstrous behemoth wrapped entirely in thick, rippling black sludge!
This absolute surrender of control allowed the host to draw out the absolute maximum physical potential of the symbiote!
It was none other than Eddie Brock, who had just narrowly escaped death. In this chaotic parallel universe, he had successfully bonded with Venom!
Spotting the Asgardian who had casually impaled him minutes prior, Venom unleashed a deafening, monstrous roar.
"You son of a bitch! I'm going to kill you!"
The battle devolved into an absolute, three-way bloodbath. Amplified by the alien parasites, the three combatants fought like miniature Hulks, inflicting catastrophic collateral damage on the plaza.
The concrete shattered under their boots. Surrounding historical architecture was violently torn apart like wet paper.
Just as the chaos peaked, another figure dropped from the sky, violently crashing into the pavement and instantly tipping the scales in SHIELD's favor!
Captain America paused, staring in bewilderment at Black Widow, who was now fully encased in a sleek, shifting red-and-gold symbiote suit. "How did you end up like this too?"
"Same way you did!" Black Widow snapped, immediately lunging at Loki!
Faced with the coordinated, hyper-aggressive assault of three symbiote-enhanced super-soldiers, Loki was rapidly overwhelmed. He steadily lost ground until a combined strike finally dropped him to the pavement. The devastating impact forcefully ripped the dark-silver Riot mass right off his armor.
Looking up at the three towering, monstrous figures surrounding him, Loki wisely raised his hands.
"Alright, alright! I yield!"
Captain America and Black Widow immediately halted their assault. Venom, completely consumed by bloodlust, tried to lunge forward to bite Loki's head off, but Cap and Widow firmly held the black behemoth back.
Just as Cap and Widow were preparing to restrain both Loki and Venom, a set of unhurried, agonizingly relaxed footsteps echoed from behind them.
A handsome young man with stark white hair and crystalline blue eyes slowly strolled out of the shadows. He looked at the three symbiote hosts, a brilliant, thoroughly entertained smile curling on his lips.
"Gentlemen... and lady," Su Mu said politely. "Would you mind handing over that scepter?"
The previously chaotic, booming plaza instantly fell into an absolute, suffocating silence. Every single person present instantly recognized the newcomer. It was the absolute apex predator of the planet—the Level 5 mutant, the White Demon!
Why the hell is he here?!
Staring at the approaching white-haired man, everyone's expressions turned incredibly grim. They all understood the apocalyptic terror the White Demon represented!
Even bonded to the alien symbiotes and pulsing with superhuman strength, neither Cap, Widow, nor Loki suffered from the delusion that they could defeat him.
Captain America and Black Widow stared tensely at the White Demon, their tactical minds racing at a million miles an hour to find a way out of this nightmare.
But a second later, they despaired. In the face of absolute, conceptual power, there were no tactics. There were no countermeasures.
Against Loki, they could fight and win. But against the White Demon, they didn't even harbor the thought of fighting!
They simply existed on two entirely different dimensions of power!
But just then, Venom let out a deafening, monstrous roar and violently launched himself directly at Su Mu!
"Eddie! This guy's brain smells absolutely amazing! I'm going to eat him!"
The exact microsecond Venom leaped into the air, Eddie Brock's terrified, desperate voice shrieked from deep within the symbiote's mind.
"No, no, no! Stop! You idiot, that's the White Demon!"
Unfortunately, Venom—having just arrived on Earth—had absolutely zero concept of who the "White Demon" was, nor did he understand what that name represented to this planet. Completely ignoring Eddie's frantic warnings, the black behemoth bravely charged to his doom!
Watching the massive, drooling alien monster rocketing toward him, the smile on Su Mu's face grew even more vibrant.
He casually raised his index finger, pointing it squarely at Venom's chest. A terrifying black-red singularity materialized at his fingertip in a fraction of a millisecond!
Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!
Just as Venom opened his massive jaws to bite Su Mu's head off, the black-red singularity violently detonated! It slammed into the symbiote's chest like a localized meteor strike!
Thanks to the absolute, micro-level energy control granted by the Level 4 Six Eyes, Su Mu was able to concentrate the absolute entirety of Red's repulsive force directly onto Venom's physical frame with zero energy waste.
The apocalyptic kinetic force instantly blasted Venom out of the air. As he was launched backward at supersonic speeds, the sheer pressure violently pulverized his bones and shredded the symbiote biomass into fine mist! The pulverized mass tore through layer after layer of brick walls until it completely vanished over the horizon!
Having casually swatted the annoying fly, Su Mu slowly walked over to the Mind Scepter, which was lying quietly on the shattered pavement.
The first Infinity Stone is finally mine.
He picked up the scepter, gripped the metallic casing encasing the glowing blue gem, and squeezed violently.
Tiny arcs of black-red lightning sparked in his palm. Despite the immense, concentrated repulsive force he applied, the alien containment casing didn't suffer a single scratch.
Seeing this, Su Mu furrowed his brow slightly. Tough casing.
He changed tactics. A thumb-sized azure black hole and an equally small black-red singularity materialized perfectly in his palm, violently colliding to forge a miniature sphere of purple imaginary mass.
Faced with a conceptual attack capable of severing the fabric of space itself, the scepter's indestructible casing was instantly vaporized into nothingness.
A brilliantly glowing, flawless yellow gem dropped neatly into Su Mu's waiting palm!
(The Mind Stone)
The exact microsecond his bare skin made contact with the Mind Stone, a massive, unfathomably pure ocean of cosmic energy violently rushed into his physical vessel!
Simultaneously, the Stone attempted to forcibly breach his consciousness, generating a swarm of terrifying psychic illusions to subjugate his will. However, the exact instant those illusions tried to take root, the System's absolute, transcendental firewall instantly blocked them!
Not even a primordial relic of the universe could forcefully tamper with Su Mu's soul while the System was active!
Su Mu nodded in profound satisfaction. It was exactly as he had hypothesized. Even the Mind Stone couldn't bypass the System's mental absolute defense. Stripped of its mind-control properties, the Stone was nothing more than an infinitely pure, easily digestible battery! Out of all six Infinity Stones, this was undoubtedly the easiest one for him to casually absorb.
The heavenly chimes of the System began to ring like a jackpot machine. The interface was completely spammed with notifications:
[System Notification: Energy Point +1]
[System Notification: Energy Point +1]
[System Notification: Energy Point +1]
...
In a matter of minutes, Su Mu harvested an absolute ocean of Energy Points. He immediately dumped the entire stockpile into his Template Synchronization, pushing the meter past the threshold!
[System Notification: Template Synchronization Reached: 79%!]
