Chapter 188. Essence Sublimation
In response to Venom's praise, Ji Yuan simply smiled modestly: "I originally thought Gnar was very strong, but he's been rather disappointing."
In fact, Gnar's current strength is not worthy of the title of King of Black. At best, he can only be considered a super energy source. If Venom had not been created by Gnar and shared the same origin, given time, Venom would have been able to be dealt with by Gnar as well.
"Too strong." Venom clutched his chest, the power of primordial darkness flowing through his body. At the same time, his gaze pierced through the dimensional barrier, seeing Gnar imprisoned in another dimension, and he couldn't help but sneer, "I told you you couldn't do it, now you believe me."
"You—this is impossible!" Nar could hear Venom's voice, but he couldn't see Venom's figure. He was powerless to refute it. The omnipresent light crushed the power of the primordial darkness and extracted the authority that belonged only to darkness.
Ji Yuan placed his hand on Venom's shoulder. The essence of light was transforming Venom's life essence, turning him from a dark creature into a creature of light.
The omnipresent light enveloped the venom, while a deeper light entered the dimension imprisoning Nar, accelerating the extraction of power from the dark authority.
Darkness cannot be eradicated, and since Nar was born from darkness, it cannot be eradicated either. However, it can be weakened, weakened to the point of losing its self, thus becoming a ruthless source of energy.
In addition, the power of the conversion network established by Ji Yuan will transform endless dark power into endless light power, enhancing the nature of Venom.
It can be said that once the power of light accumulates to a certain level, Venom will be stronger than any of his reincarnations.
The transformation of the power of light was extremely rapid, which also accelerated the change in the nature of Venom.
White spots gradually appeared on the venom's black surface, then rapidly expanded until it covered the entire body.
A version of Venom in Light has appeared!
"This—it's unbelievable! I can feel my essence has increased several dimensions, and I'm no longer affected by external forces. Brother Ji Yuan, you Ultramen are truly awesome!"
Venom looked at its pure white exterior and felt the almost overflowing power of light within its body. In terms of total amount, it might not be as powerful as before, but its essence had improved far too much. One ray of light was enough to counteract ten rays of darkness.
After all, he had been using stolen dark power, so how could it compare to the light power that was almost equivalent to his own?
"Why is light so much stronger than darkness, even though they are both forms of power?" Venom wondered.
"Compatibility: If your heart is drawn to the light, yet you use the power of darkness, how can you unleash your full potential?" Ji Yuan explained.
Although Venom is a dark creature and uses dark powers, it is one of the few creatures that, despite being in darkness, yearns for the light. In particular, the Venom in this universe can be described as having an extremely righteous history.
Having repeatedly protected the universe and fought against external enemies, despite repeated defeats, it has never given up. This perseverance and unwavering hope perfectly align with the power of light.
Moreover, Ji Yuan's power of light carries a strong idealistic attribute; the combination of belief and power naturally produces an effect greater than two times the original.
Just like Daigo transforming into Dark Tiga, he possessed the Heart of Light, and after transforming into Dark Tiga, Dark Tiga's strength was greatly reduced.
Therefore, it is also very important to have a mind that matches one's strength. The two complement each other, and only then can one unleash the greatest power.
"This—this is simply unbelievable." As the power of light deepened its alteration of his essence, Venom had a strange feeling; it seemed as if he could exist independently of his host.
Throughout his life, he has usurped the power of darkness, absorbed the power of the gods, and once possessed the six Infinity Stones, but he has never been able to change one fundamental truth: he has always been a symbiote.
Symbiotes must rely on a host to exert their power and survive for a long time, but now, it can exist completely independently of its host, becoming an independent life form.
Venom extended an arm from which body tissue sprouted, and under his control, the tissue slowly changed shape.
It can change freely between gaseous, solid, and liquid states.
Then it transformed into a large knife, which felt like steel to the touch.
This directly alters the form in which matter exists.
With another thought, Venom's greatsword began to change again, eventually transforming into an AK-47 attached to his hand.
Pulling the trigger, the compressed energy bullet burst forth, leaving a long trail in the vacuum of space.
"Holy crap, that's incredible! Using that old bastard Gnar's dark energy to wield the power of light not only doesn't consume any light energy, but it also enhances my essence and allows me to exploit Gnar's power. It's absolutely amazing!"
Venom marveled as it transformed into various forms—sniper rifle, cannon, car, tank—it could become almost anything it wanted, even a light-based nuclear bomb, though using it once would put a tiny bit of strain on its body.
He didn't feel much during the transformation, but Gnar, imprisoned in the internal dimension, suffered terribly. Every time Venom transformed, it would drain Gnar's power, and that feeling of going up and down was truly unpleasant.
"Venom, I—woo—woo." Gnar was about to burst into a tirade when he found himself unable to utter the next words.
At the same time, Venom's evil voice echoed in Gnar's mind: "Old man, I've silenced you. You'll just have to watch me use your power, and you can only stand by like a useless husband, hahahahaha."
And I, with your power, will utterly crush your allies, leaving not a trace, hahahahahaha.
Venom's words echoed in Gnar's mind like a demonic whisper, and Venom even intended to keep the words looping in Gnar's head.
After doing all this, Venom looked at Ji Yuan with a smug expression: "Big brother, you're my big brother now, you're awesome."
Ji Yuan shook his head: "It's a small matter. So, can you sense where the energy Nar transmitted is going?"
Venom nodded: "I can sense they're not in the real universe, they're in another dimension. Brother, should we go take them now?"
"I'm not going." Ji Yuan smiled knowingly. "Neither side is any good. Let them fight like dogs. Maybe we can catch an even bigger fish later."
"Good, as expected of the eldest brother, you are truly resourceful!" Venom gave a thumbs up.
"Stop joking around, let's go back to Earth. While we're at it, let Stark test what changes will occur if you possess another body after your fundamental transformation."
"Alright! I'll do whatever you say, Big Brother!" Venom stood upright in space, his eyes resolute.
Ji Yuan shook his head with a smile, secretly chuckling, "This clown."
Then, with a wave of their hand and a flash of light, they vanished from the galaxy.
