Chapter 1250: Source of Darkness and God of Symbiotes! (First update, seeking subscriptions!)
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, dropped reward: Source of Darkness."
Source of Darkness?
Seeing the content of the dropped reward, Su Quan's eyes lit up instantly.
This Source of Darkness is neither the ability of an individual Howl nor the ability of the symbiotes as a whole; rather, it is the essence, or origin, of Howl—or, in other words, of the symbiotes.
To go deeper, this is the origin ability of Knull, the Lord of the Abyss, God of Darkness, and God of Symbiotes.
Speaking of which, one must talk about the birth of the symbiotes and this God of Symbiotes.
Knull's existence predates the universe itself; he is an ancient evil spirit with overwhelming attributes, capable of creating, controlling, and manipulating the Source of Darkness.
In the early days, Knull slumbered in the abyss of cosmic nothingness. One day, a powerful light awakened him; this light was the Celestials creating all things in the universe.
However, Knull did not accept the Celestials' creation; he forged a Necrosword from his own shadow and killed a Celestial.
This Necrosword is the progenitor of all symbiotes.
Later, Knull was banished by a group of Celestials to a deeper part of the universe, where he used the blood-flame and hammer of a Celestial to further forge the Necrosword, upgrading it into the even more powerful All-Black the Necrosword.
During this process, ultrasonic waves and high temperatures became the weaknesses of all symbiote descendants.
Knull went on a killing spree across the universe with the All-Black, but was defeated in a battle and fell onto a desolate, nameless planet. The All-Black was obtained by an indigenous inhabitant, who would later become Gorr the God Butcher.
Many years later, Knull awakened and realized that Gorr was inadvertently following his path, so he did not retrieve the All-Black.
After recovering from his injuries, Knull discovered he could create amorphous living darkness. He combined his living darkness with the animals on the planet, creating one symbiotic species after another; thus, the symbiotes were born.
Consequently, he created a dark planet, Klyntar, as his base of operations, while simultaneously creating an army of symbiotes and symbiote dragons, attempting to conquer the entire universe.
As the God of Symbiotes, Knull can create, control, and manipulate the Source of Darkness—which is to say, the symbiotes!
Let's put it this way: symbiotes are non-individuals that exist independently.
What does that mean?
It means they are both individuals and a collective, while also being a part of Knull.
Su Quan had thought about what abilities the symbiotes might drop; it was nothing more than two possibilities: one was an individual drop—that is, farming Howl to drop Howl's abilities, or farming Venom to drop Venom's abilities.
The other was like the Phoenix Force, the Fairy Force, or the Speed Force, dropping the origin directly, allowing himself to become another form of the Phoenix Force, Fairy Force, or Speed Force.
Which one is better?
Without a doubt, it is definitely the latter.
After all, the former only grants the other party's abilities, while the latter allows one to become the other party!
Take this Source of Darkness, for example. At first glance, it seems like he only obtained a blank symbiote created and controlled by himself, but after obtaining it, Su Quan discovered that was not the case at all.
He is the Source of Darkness, and the Source of Darkness is him!
Let's put it this way: Su Quan has become a Lord of the Abyss, God of Darkness, and God of Symbiotes with extremely weak origin power!
To upgrade and become stronger, he must devour more Sources of Darkness!
Su Quan thought about it; it didn't seem very difficult.
It's just the Source of Darkness, right? Even if it cannot be repeatedly farmed from a single symbiote, and even if it cannot be farmed like the serum, it should be obtainable from other symbiotes.
Although the symbiotes on Earth can be counted on two hands, don't forget that there is a symbiote planet outside of Earth; the number of symbiotes there must be truly massive!
If he farms them one by one and then devours and fuses them, he could directly grow to be like Knull, becoming a complete God of Symbiotes!
Additionally, setting aside the various benefits of symbiotes, once one becomes the God of Symbiotes, or once the Source of Darkness grows to a certain extent, one can forge their own Necrosword just like Knull.
The Necrosword is one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel Universe, a genuine God-Slaying Sword that can gain power through the blood of gods and create all kinds of clones.
Knull was able to use the Necrosword to slay Celestials.
Gorr was able to leap from an ordinary indigenous inhabitant to a "God Butcher" who slaughtered gods across the universe, all thanks to the Necrosword.
Old King Thor also once used the Necrosword to drive away Galactus with a single strike; the Necrosword even attached itself to Galactus, amplifying his desires and causing him to destroy the universe in various ways.
Finally, after a long journey, the Necrosword, stained with the blood of who knows how many gods, fell into the hands of Old King Loki and fused with him, boosting his strength to the point where he could easily defeat Old King Thor.
As everyone knows, the older Thor gets, the stronger he becomes.
Unfortunately, there is a law regarding Loki: no matter how strong his power becomes or how meticulous his schemes are, he can never have the last laugh.
Old King Loki, having fused with the Necrosword, had just risen to power when he was stabbed in the back by Gorr, who had been hiding in the Necrosword all along.
………
The God of Symbiotes and the God Butcher, both inextricably linked to the Necrosword, are formidable characters in Marvel, and it is not hard to see how powerful the Necrosword is from their track records.
If Su Quan had his own Necrosword, given his strength, the title of "God Butcher" would have nothing to do with Gorr, and the Necrosword would also become even more powerful as it upgraded!
Su Quan felt that this wave was a huge profit; the Source of Darkness is definitely the best thing he has obtained in this world.
Without exception!
"Ah!!!"
A sharp scream interrupted Su Quan's thoughts. Turning his head to look, he saw Anne Weying, dressed in light clothing, her eyes wide and her face full of terror as she screamed.
"Are you okay? You, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
After the scream, Anne Weying calmed down immediately. While comforting Su Quan, she grabbed a vase from the side.
"Look at me, look at me! Once I throw this, you run away immediately, do you remember?"
Thinking Su Quan was in danger, Anne Weying's mind was entirely focused on attracting the attention of that yellow mass floating in the air so that Su Quan could escape; she didn't notice at all that there was no expression of fear or panic on Su Quan's face.
It must be said, Anne Weying is a person worth knowing; when there is danger, she really steps up!
"One."
"Two."
"Run!"
As the last sound fell, Anne Weying had already thrown the vase, smashing it toward Howl! ===== CHAPTER 1252 =====
