FBI: Chapter 193/195

Chapter 193: Only By Enduring The Most Hardships Can One Gain The Most Strength

"Wow, YUMMY…"

"This is the first time I've eaten metal this delicious!"

"Delicious! Flavorful!"

Dante rolled his eyes, watching the smug Venom.

It was more than just delicious and flavorful.

Something even more exciting was coming.

It is well-known that the Symbiote race, after devouring something, can replicate its characteristics and abilities.

The biggest characteristic of yaka metal is…

It resonates with sound and can be controlled by sound waves.

And Venom has two major weaknesses.

Those are Fire and sound waves.

Dante, with a smile, materialized a…

Suona.

Meanwhile, Venom was staring eagerly at the red, orange, and green lights.

"What's up, Dante, is this thing delicious too? I've eaten something called Skittles before…"

"Mmm, delicious, absolutely delicious."

Dante gave Venom a reassuring smile, then brought the suona to his lips…

And played "The Avengers."

The sharp, high-pitched suona reverberated throughout the Base.

Everyone dropped what they were doing and ran out to see…

What kind of major illness Dante had contracted this time!

"I really want to stab him twice, I finally managed to fall asleep!"

Skye looked at Dante floating mid-air, her face full of resentment.

Her infatuation had long since been completely cured after she got to know him in depth.

What good was being handsome?

He was crazy!

No wonder he hit it off with Harley Quinn!

"At least you can still sleep." Bruce dragged his tired body to the training ground. "I've been collaborating with Tony Stark recently. I just pulled an all-nighter in the lab and almost got sent away by that sound."

After speaking, Bruce could no longer withstand the deep sense of fatigue, and his body went limp, falling to the ground.

Upon seeing this, not a single person stepped forward to help him.

Instead, they all retreated a few steps.

This was truly not a lack of team spirit, but rather…

The moment Bruce knelt, he had already transformed into the Hulk.

The ground itself cracked where he knelt!

"Banner! Weakling! Hulk! Strong!"

"Alright, alright, we all know you are the strongest." Wade Wilson, wearing baggy shorts, walked up and patted the Hulk's thick arm. "But Bruce forgot to wear those special nano-material pants."

After he finished speaking, everyone's gaze focused on the Hulk's big green butt.

"Banner! Fool! Not as smart as the Hulk!"

After the Hulk finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but everyone rushed forward and held him down.

"No, no, no! Don't stand up yet!"

"We'll go get them for you!"

"You cover yourself tightly with your hands! Don't let it show!"

With the Hulk's disruption, everyone's attention was diverted.

So no one saw Venom rolling around on the ground like a drunk Jackie Chan under the sound of Dante's suona.

"Dante! What did you feed me?!"

"It hurts so much!"

"But I have to move!"

However, Venom's wails did not awaken the humanity of this grandson, Dante. Instead, he blew even harder.

Venom felt his body was about to disintegrate at one point.

But as the suona music continued, Venom's body reacted less and less.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Dante's mouth as he played the suona.

He truly lived up to his reputation as the most adaptable creature in the entire Marvel Universe. Even his fatal weaknesses, as long as he swallowed something with the corresponding characteristics, could be completely adapted to in a few minutes.

From today onwards, Venom's weakness to sound waves would no longer exist.

If this were a Japanese RPG, a dialogue box should pop up above Venom's head at this moment.

It would read: "[Sound Wave Weakness] Removed, New Trait [Sound Wave Immunity] Added."

And as Venom gained sound wave immunity, the surging immense energy within him, which had been wildly thrashing around, rapidly integrated with his body.

Including Carnage himself, the energy of a full one hundred Symbiotes was something even Venom couldn't digest all at once.

But the remaining portion was no longer enough to affect Venom's normal actions.

"How about it? Didn't I tell you that what I gave you was good stuff?"

"It was good… but it would be even better if you didn't make me suffer so much next time."

Venom felt a bit numb all over just thinking about the painful yet pleasurable experience he had just gone through.

"There's indeed more to eat, but it won't make you suffer." Dante grinned, speaking as if it were true. "Come, come, try the taste of uru metal."

After Dante finished speaking, he took out a cube-shaped piece of uru metal from his pocket space.

He weighed it in his hand, then directly threw it to Venom.

"What kind of metal is this? It won't hurt like that last stuff, will it?"

"I just said it wouldn't make you suffer, and I always keep my word. Do I look like someone who would trick a Symbiote?"

"You have a point. Giving me so much to eat, you must be a good person."

Hearing this, Venom had no doubts and unhesitatingly wrapped the entire piece of uru metal into his dark body.

"Hmm? This metal is so hard… and the energy it contains is something I've never seen before!"

"Very novel, isn't it?" Dante began to show an evil smile. "Taste more, what else do you feel?"

"This metal also has some strange patterns. After replicating these patterns… I seem to have learned some powers."

Dante twitched the corner of his mouth.

After replicating, he could learn Rune magic… this learning ability was truly bugged.

But…

This was not the biggest reason Dante made him eat the uru metal.

It is well-known that Thor's hammer was forged primarily from uru metal in Nidavellir's stellar forge.

It naturally has the ability to contain and absorb divine power and various supernatural forces.

For example… lightning!

Seeing Venom begin to concentrate on devouring the uru metal block, Dante raised both hands…

Lightning manipulation!

Instantly, dark clouds gathered in mid-air, and even Venom realized something was wrong.

"Dante, is something else going to happen? Why are such heavy dark clouds gathered only above this Base?"

"Oh, this is to help you better digest the uru metal."

"I feel like your smile is a bit creepy…"

"You ungrateful Symbiote! Who am I doing this for?!"

As Dante spoke, he swiped his finger downwards, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket suddenly struck down!

"Crack!"

"Ah!!!"

"Dante! If I ever believe that broken mouth of yours again, I'm not a Symbiote!"

Dante didn't care what this guy was saying at the moment. He enthusiastically directed the lightning to strike Venom in an eight-eight beat rhythm.

The power was controlled to a level that could hurt Venom but would definitely not severely injure him.

"Venom, I'm doing this for your own good."

"No pain, no gain!"

After all, to some extent, lightning and Fire can be equated.

Otherwise, why would something like a "Thunder Fire Sword" exist?

A Venom who has overcome the two major weaknesses of Fire and sound waves!

Dante couldn't even imagine how powerful he would be!

(To be continued.)

Chapter 194: Wrath of the Stars

After Dante's inhumane lightning massage, Venom, while devouring uru metal, also absorbed the power of lightning.

Now, whether it was lightning, Fire, or swords, Venom was basically unafraid.

Dante understood, and Venom naturally understood as well.

However, instead of thanking Dante, it wanted to eat him even more!

But then it thought about the power gap between itself and Dante…

Forget it!

At worst, it could say some bad things about him to the female human it possessed and stir up some gender issues!

Thinking this, it was satisfied.

So, Dante, who had strengthened himself and bullied Venom, walked towards his noisy teammates.

Venom, full of self-consolation, bounced onto Harley's shoulder and re-possessed her.

At this moment, although Venom was still entirely black, there were some subtle changes.

Mysterious Runes appeared on its dark exterior, and a hint of Carnage's red was faintly revealed.

Now, Venom had transformed from the weakest Symbiote to the strongest Symbiote.

It had only eaten a Super Carnage and then been fed a few pieces of metal by Dante.

Even though Venom had been disciplined by Dante, and even wanted to eat him, it never thought of running away.

Instead, it happily returned to Harley's body.

One can only say…

It's very stubborn.

But its body is truly honest!

At this moment, Dante looked at Hulk, who was surrounded in the middle, with great interest.

"What's wrong with you all? You look like you're facing a formidable enemy?"

"Dante? Are you done over there?" Everyone looked at Dante, and Ada quickly stepped forward. "There's nothing big here, you go do whatever you need to do."

As the person who understood Dante the most, Ada knew from the expression on his face that he was definitely up to no good!

His seemingly innocent inquiry was actually full of amusement in his eyes.

"It's not easy for everyone to get a few days off, what could I be busy with?" Dante shrugged, then waved to Hela and Harley.

Hela and Harley, unsuspecting, gracefully came over.

"Do me a favor, I have a batch of gifts for everyone in my room, could you help me bring them over?"

Dante gave a thumbs up to the three and said.

Ada looked at Dante's mouth, which was harder to suppress than an AK…

Goodness gracious, she probably already guessed what Dante was going to do.

So she cast a sympathetic glance at her teammates, then unhesitatingly took Hela and Harley's hands and quickly walked towards Dante's room.

After Dante saw the three figures gradually disappear, he turned around.

Then he took out of his pocket space…

The latest game console, Tony Stark's modified version.

Then he threw it at Hulk's head.

"Hulk! A gift for you! Catch it!"

Hulk was stunned, his eyes immediately drawn to the game console, and he instinctively reached out to catch it!

And with that reach, all his teammates were dumbfounded, staring at what they had been strictly guarding Hulk from.

This thing…

It's truly amazing!

"Hey, guys, I searched in Banner and Hulk's room for a long time, and only the fabric of these pants couldn't be torn! It should be these, right?"

Wade Wilson had just been ordered to find Hulk's special pants and had just returned.

Then he saw everyone covering their eyes, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong with you all?" Wade asked as he walked into the crowd, then he froze. "Wow, big guy, that's absolutely the most intimidating thing I've ever seen in my life."

Hulk: ?

Dante looked at Hulk's clear eyes and ferocious body, almost bursting out laughing.

"Motherfucker! I'll never forget this scene in my life!"

"My brain! My brain! Please delete this image!"

"Seeking a pair of eyes that haven't seen this thing, with a heavy reward!"

"Hulk is just a child! Are children this majestic!?"

"What? You call this a child? Then what am I? A fertilized egg!?"

A group of battle-hardened Agents, including Superheroes and even gods.

At this moment, all beings were equal!

Dante happily took the pants from Wade's hand and handed them to Hulk.

"Next time, remember to remind Bruce, if he doesn't want to be exposed, don't wear the wrong pants."

"Okay, Dante."

Hulk nodded, and the little Hulk also swayed slightly with the nodding motion.

"Fuuuuuck!"

Another wail echoed through the sky.

Hulk, under everyone's watchful eyes, finally put on his pants with his butt sticking out.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great, they finally didn't have to look at anything too stimulating.

Dante smiled at the members of the two teams.

"That's all it takes?"

"How about I treat you to drinks tonight?!"

Upon hearing this, the team members barely recovered some of their sanity.

However, in this short while, Ada and the others had already come out with the large boxes from their room.

Of course, Ada only carried a relatively smaller one as a gesture.

The main effort still relied on Hela and Harley to carry them to the training ground.

"Boom!"

When unloading, they hit the ground of the training field, making a dull sound.

Except for Hulk, who had begun to immerse himself in the modified game console, everyone's attention was drawn to these boxes.

Although they had been tricked by Dante, they had clearly heard him describe these items as "gifts" earlier.

Thinking of this, their resentment towards Dante probably dissipated by about one percent.

Dante stepped forward and first opened a long, narrow box.

Coincidentally, it was what he had prepared for Oliver Queen.

A gift in exchange for secondary damage, it was hard to say whether it was worth it or not.

"Oliver… don't retch yet, why do you look like you're choked by a green cylindrical object?"

Oliver's face turned green. "Dante, are you an Agent or a fortune teller?"

"Of course I'm an Agent, fortune telling is for itinerant vendors, where's the appeal of a permanent position?"

Dante said this while taking out the item from the box.

It was a bow.

"Oliver, do you like a recurve bow made of uru metal with built-in automatic energy storage magic?"

"I gave it a name."

"Solidar Wrath of the Stars, Star Fury."

"Or Star Fury for short."

(To be continued.)

Chapter 195: Gifts?

Although Oliver complained about the name Dante gave this bow.

It didn't stop him from taking the bow and caressing it carefully.

As if he were caressing his girlfriend.

"Oliver, do you think it's possible… you're actually a fetishist? Just like bows and arrows and such?"

"If you spread rumors about me again, I'm really going to report you!"

Oliver looked at Dante, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He was clearly a good person who prepared new equipment as gifts for his teammates, so why did he have such a mouth!?

"Alright, just pretend I didn't say anything." Dante shrugged and then continued to introduce. "The feel of this bow should be a bit different from the bows you usually use, but once you get used to it, you won't be able to get used to other bows anymore."

As Dante spoke, he took the bow and demonstrated.

When Dante drew the bowstring, an energy arrow, emitting a soft silvery-white light, appeared out of thin air with the drawing motion.

"Ah, this?"

Oliver was dumbfounded on the spot.

He gave him a bow, and it even saved him the arrows?

"Uru metal itself contains enormous energy. I also DIYed an automatic energy storage and automatic circulation magic through Black Magic and Chaos Magic. Basically, this bow can infinitely shoot energy arrows."

"As for the power, it's related to the time you draw the string."

"However, ordinary arrows can still be used, so your multi-functional arrowheads won't be retired yet."

After giving the bow, Dante opened several boxes one after another.

First, he took out a pair of long knives and handed them to Wade Wilson.

"Wade, dagon stone twin blades. I also got some carbon nanoparticles from Fury and put them inside, which can suppress abilities like self-healing factors."

"WTF… Can it suppress self-healing factors? But what is this dagon stone? The name sounds really cthulhu…"

"Emmm, how to explain it? You just need to know that this thing is hard, hard enough to be indestructible."

Next, there were two new sets of battle suits, one for a man and one for a woman.

"These two battle suits are made of uru metal threads and carbon fiber, possessing the ability to absorb and release kinetic energy, and when facing energy attacks, they will be absorbed by the uru metal itself…"

As Dante spoke, he handed the two battle suits to Steve Rogers and Captain Carter respectively.

"You two already have the most suitable weapons, and I won't be adding legs to a snake. I simply made these two battle suits to reduce your worries."

"Dante, this… It's too valuable." Steve took the battle suit. "In terms of value alone, it's completely on par with the shield Howard gave me back then…"

"Alright, Steve, Captain is giving you something, so just accept it with peace of mind." Captain Carter, however, accepted the battle suit with ease. "Don't feel embarrassed about anything. When big things happen in the future, don't we also have to charge forward?"

"Even without the battle suit and shield, I would still charge at the forefront."

Dante looked at Captain Carter.

This Captain, who was professional at slacking off and enjoying retirement, saw things very clearly.

He knew that major events would probably follow one after another in the future.

One can only say… he truly was the old Captain who had returned from adventures across various timelines.

Then he took out a pair of gloves.

"Skye, you come here."

"It's finally my turn?" Skye scurried over, then extended her hand. "From now on, you're my brother. Can I take care of you in your old age until your death?"

"What you said sounds nice, but you should first try to live longer than me." Dante placed the gloves in Skye's hands. "Made purely of yaka metal, it can greatly amplify sonic vibrations… roughly three to five times, depending on your vibration output."

"Three, three to five times?" Skye held the gloves, stunned for a moment, then suddenly, while putting on the gloves, she shouted at Dante, "You've hogged the spotlight of three big sisters! I want to duel you! From today onwards, I'm the Captain!"

"Go! Go stay by the side!" Dante rolled his eyes and suppressed Skye's sudden rebellious thoughts with a flick to her forehead.

And wasn't this girl's purpose a bit too obvious!?

Afterwards, Dante continued to open boxes, giving the prepared equipment to everyone.

Even for Hulk, who needed these things the least, Dante made him a pair of big shorts…

The kind that could stretch infinitely.

Coulson was playing with the specially made… suit that Dante gave him.

It looked like a suit, but in reality…

It really was just a suit.

Except it could generate an energy shield at any time.

The kind that could easily withstand thermobaric bombs.

Dante smiled. For his own people, he was never stingy about enhancing their strength.

After all, arming the entire Universe to the teeth was his ultimate goal.

This was only the beginning.

Finally, Dante took out a small portion of samples of all the special materials on him and handed them to the science team.

"Take these and continue researching them, see if it's possible to create secondary materials."

Dante was not content with just arming a few special teams.

If secondary materials of dagon stone, yaka metal, and uru metal could be manufactured, it would mean mass production was possible, greatly enhancing grassroots combat power.

Dante was very certain.

As long as this matter succeeded, even the most ordinary field Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the enhancement of these secondary metal products, would be far stronger than those Chitauri!

Don't think the Chitauri are cannon fodder!

That's because they faced a group of Superheroes!

"Okay, Dante, we'll try our best…" The Science Babies Duo tremblingly accepted this batch of samples. It was their first time researching such precious materials.

Dante could completely understand their excitement.

For scientists like them, obtaining Universe-level rare materials like dagon stone was no different from an unknown nobody stumbling upon the Nine Yin Manual and Nine Yang Divine Art!

"My God Queen, when did you use these materials to make the equipment?"

Hela leaned close to Dante and asked in a low voice.

"Reporting to my Lord God King, originally I wanted to entrust it to those dwarves in Nidavellir."

"But they told me they really couldn't handle dagon stone."

"As for uru metal and yaka metal products, the construction period would be about one to three years."

"So I thought about it, and decided not to use these useless guys. I'll do it myself."

Hela was stunned and asked, "Do it yourself?"

"That's right, I made them all by hand! It took a lot of effort!"

As Dante's words fell, a green shark immediately drilled out from his chest.

"Don't you lie!" Ion Shark, speaking in a weak, childlike voice, landed on Dante's shoulder and complained to Hela. "You did make all of these by hand, that's true, but you're the one giving the gifts, and I'm the one who's tired!"

"Using Ion Man state to craft equipment, you're something else!"

(To be continued.)
