Qinuo looked at him expressionlessly, without a trace of pity in his eyes, and the bio-field loosened, falling to the ground.
Before Slaughter Demon could run, a foot stomped on the back of his head.
"Have you ever eaten hand-shredded chicken?"
"No, never…"
"It's fine, I'm not in a good mood today, so I'll treat you."
With that, Qinuo pressed down slightly with his foot, and Slaughter Demon's head was instantly crushed.
However, Qinuo did not stop there, keeping his foot on Slaughter Demon's body.
He grabbed Slaughter Demon's arms with both hands, and with a forceful tug, the tough muscle fibers and symbiote tissue were torn apart, making a horrifying sound.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!"
A piercing scream rang out as Slaughter Demon's head had already repaired itself.
Norman's face was revealed, twisted beyond recognition, with pain and fear scrunching his features together.
Qinuo was unmoved, dropping the mangled arm, and then reaching for his two legs.
Slaughter Demon's body writhed, completely retreating into Norman's body, even abandoning some of the tissue on his two arms.
In the possessed state, the host's pain was connected to him; at this moment, Norman felt as if he was in an endless purgatory, every nerve occupied by agony.
"Let me go, please, let me go!"
Norman begged for mercy, his voice choked with tears and despair.
But Qinuo's hands paused, stopping.
"Call him out."
The killing intent in Qinuo's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Please, I was just coerced." Norman cried, desperately defending himself.
"I told you to call him out!"
Qinuo roared, his eyes glowing, and two Heat Vision beams instantly pierced through Norman's chest.
"Ah!"
Norman let out a painful scream.
Just then, Carnage appeared.
Having been pushed to this point, death was inevitable either way.
The symbiote's survival instinct burst forth instantly.
A mass of red viscous substance appeared at Qinuo's feet, surging madly, trying to enter his body—this was the only chance to survive.
Qinuo's metal battle suit suddenly turned black, spreading rapidly like ink.
Immediately after, Venom's head emerged from his back, its terrifying appearance chilling to the bone.
"Get out, he's mine!"
The black symbiote forced the red viscous substance back into Norman's body.
"Father!"
Slaughter Demon reappeared, looking at Venom on Qinuo with a face full of shock; he never expected to see his father again.
"You can continue, Qinuo."
Venom couldn't be bothered to talk to him much, her tone cold.
If this guy hadn't tried to invade Qinuo's body, she wouldn't have come out at all until the end.
Not only was Qinuo angry, but she was too, for Gwen had been beaten so badly.
Slaughter Demon knew this was his father from another World and began to play the emotional card.
"Father, I was wrong, I won't dare again, I'm your child from another World!"
Slaughter Demon wept, attempting to evoke Venom's parental affection.
"My child? I've eaten hundreds of billions of my children, who do you think you are?"
Venom cursed, then unhesitatingly returned to Qinuo's body.
Slaughter Demon's expression froze; this father was even more brutal than him, having eaten hundreds of billions of symbiotes.
Qinuo's mouth twitched, and the anger in his heart somewhat subsided, but cooking required seriousness, and since he had started, he couldn't give up halfway.
The Underground Room then echoed with Slaughter Demon's piercing screams, a horrifying sound, like wails from hell.
Octopus Lady, rushing towards them, paused her steps.
"Damian, give up! If we go there, we'll just be two more casualties." Octopus Lady tried to persuade him.
"Hurry up, or do you want a man-eating plant to grow in your stomach?"
Damian was carried on Octopus Lady's back, holding a silver cannon barrel in his hand.
It was a laser weapon, emitting a dangerous glow.
Octopus Lady was full of resentment.
What kind of child is this! Carrying you while fleeing, he suddenly shoved a seed into your mouth; when she tried to spit it out, he pressed her throat a few times and she swallowed it.
He even threatened to make her take him to the armory, which was fine, she would take him, it wasn't her money, but don't drag others to their deaths, she still wanted to live.
Although human stomach acid could dissolve most plant seeds, Octopus Lady couldn't guarantee that this man-eating plant seed was among them.
To die instantly or to be burst open by a man-eating plant growing inside her body.
It was obvious which one to choose.
Octopus Lady was full of resentment, running towards the screams while constantly complaining in her mind.
Ghost-Spider, how did you raise your child, like a killer?
She sighed helplessly, and could only brace herself and keep running forward.
She could only pray now that Ghost-Spider would have a big outburst and kill Slaughter Demon, so she wouldn't have to die, though she felt this possibility was extremely slim.
Following the sound, they arrived at the Underground Room.
She saw Gwen running past, holding several bottles of medicine.
"Ghost-Spider, you're not dead?" Octopus Lady cried out in surprise.
"Octopus Lady, Damian, you… never mind, come help."
Gwen was startled to see Octopus Lady, then realized it wasn't the time to dwell on it.
Damian also dropped the gun and got down from behind Octopus Lady.
"Mom Gwen, has Godfather arrived?"
"Yes, it's fine now. You inject these four bottles of medicine into those Spider-Men, and I'll go find a bucket to save Penny."
Gwen couldn't handle everything by herself, so she handed the medicine to Damian.
"Okay."
With Godfather here, there was nothing to worry about.
Octopus Lady watched the two run off in different directions, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately chose to follow Damian.
She couldn't help it, there was still a man-eating plant seed in her stomach, and if she got too far from him, who knew if it would suddenly start growing.
And who was this Godfather they were talking about? Was that scream from Slaughter Demon? Could the medicine in their hands really save Spider-Man? It couldn't be, could it?
A flurry of questions filled her mind, making her head a tangled mess.
——
After an unknown amount of time,
Qiuku Spider-Man suddenly woke up, sitting up abruptly.
He touched his chest, which was smooth as new.
"Why am I not dead, and…"
"And my body feels very comfortable. Muscle strains, bone wear and tear, arthritis, all gone, just like I'm 18 again."
A familiar voice came from beside him.
"How did you know?"
Qiuku Spider-Man instinctively replied.
"Because I am too."
Qiuku Spider-Man turned his head; it was Shadow Spider-Man who had spoken.
They were in the control room.
Next to them was Miles, staring blankly with a severed limb in his hand.
On the other side was Spider-Ham, with two wooden plugs in his ears.
Penny Parker was operating something on the control panel, with Octopus Lady beside her.
Gwen was holding Damian.
Crucially, there was also a dancing man-eating plant next to them?
What a bizarre scene.
"I must be dreaming?"
Qiuku Spider-Man muttered, nodding, and was about to lie down and sleep again.
"Slap!"
"Ouch!" Qiuku Spider-Man cried out, clutching his head.
"It's good that it hurts." Shadow Spider-Man's voice was full of laughter.
