Marvel's Venom, starting with a Hydra undercover agent.

"In that case, please take good care of Dr. Lister, Baron Strucker. After all, he is our precious son, and many scientific research processes cannot proceed without him."

After saying that, the middle-aged man wearing glasses led the others and the armed personnel away from there.

"Damn it, that guy really thinks he's Baron Strucker just because he has the title. He had the same damn look on his face last time, and I get furious just looking at him now!" The bald, middle-aged man cursed as he walked.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man wearing glasses pushed up his glasses and said, "So what if you beat him up?"

Does it matter what expression he has? He just needs to be a good mascot.

"Although he seemed domineering and fierce today, he has also come to terms with reality. He would never explain so much to you normally."

"The important thing is that we have real power in our hands. In order to better achieve this goal, what's wrong with giving him a little face?"

"Even if he had that superhuman as a subordinate, it would only increase his ability to protect himself a little; it wouldn't have any impact on the overall situation."

Listening to the words of the bespectacled middle-aged man, the bald middle-aged man gradually calmed down, nodded and said, "You're right. Anyway, we have the power in our hands. No matter how much he tries to show his teeth and claws, he can't do anything about it."

Chapter 207, Regeneration of Severed Limbs

After saying that, he suddenly looked up at the man with glasses and said, "By the way, I heard you expanded your special agent unit again?"

Hearing the bald man's sudden question, the bespectacled man pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "It's just a special forces unit, nothing to mention."

"It wasn't just me; didn't everyone here also do something?"

Upon hearing his words, the middle-aged men exchanged glances, then turned away in unison, remaining silent.

They were all well aware of the current situation. The situation in Sokvia Hydra had stabilized, and Baron Strucker, the mascot, had done a good job, having had all his power usurped without any ability to resist.

Once things stabilize externally, it's perfectly normal for a leader to emerge internally.

If the new Baron Strucker is not up to the task, then one of them will have to take on the role. As for who it will be, that depends on their individual abilities.

Sensing that they were gradually moving away, Holm also came out of the hidden door again.

Looking at "Warner" still sitting on the sofa, Holm nodded and said, "Well done, without a single flaw. They shouldn't have any suspicions in the future."

Dust swirled across Werner's face, transforming him once again into William Baker.

"I had prepared a lot of arguments, but I didn't use any of them. When do I need to take them down?"

Hearing William Baker's question, Holm thought for a moment and said, "You should familiarize yourself with the place more first. After a couple of days when they are completely relaxed, we will take them down one by one. Remember, you must keep a firm grip on this place."

"If Dr. Lister is sensible, he should listen to you. If he is really stubborn, then there is no need to give him any more chances. Just deal with him cleanly."

“Understood.” William Baker nodded, then transformed back into Werner.

After Holm finished speaking, he looked at Wanda and continued, "Now take me to Pietro's place, I'll go check on him."

Upon hearing Holm's words, Wanda's eyes lit up, and she nodded before leading him outside.

A viscous black liquid surged from Holm's body, and in an instant, he transformed into the fully armed men he had just seen.

They wandered through the corridors, finally arriving at a pristine white laboratory after passing through several security gates.

In the middle of the laboratory was a transparent glass box, where Pietro lay quietly, his body covered in tubes.

His body was covered with countless tiny scratches, which, although healed, still revealed tender pink flesh.

His legs had completely disappeared below the knees, leaving only neat cut surfaces after the surgery.

"He had woken up some time ago, but due to the severity of his injuries and the recurrence of inflammation, he fell into a coma again."

"I...I'm so useless. If I had awakened my superpowers earlier and protected him, he wouldn't be like this now. I can't even imagine how devastated he would be if he saw what he's like now after he's fully awake."

Wanda looked at Pietro in the glass case with a sad and self-reproachful look in her eyes, her knuckles turning white from being clenched so tightly.

Seeing this, Holm gently took her hand and softly comforted her, "Don't blame yourself too much. I'm here, and I'll make him healthy again."

After saying that, Holm opened the lid of the glass box, then extended a tentacle to scoop Pietro out of the nutrient solution and gently placed him on the experimental table next to him.

He removed all the tubes from Pietro's body, including the oxygen device on his face.

Looking at Pietro's completely pale face, Holm touched his wet hair and said to Wanda beside him, "I'll feed him something, but it will only work if he accepts it himself."

"So I need you to speak to him in his ear and tell him not to resist that power, that power will give him a new life and make him stronger."

Although Holm's words sounded somewhat mysterious, Wanda didn't doubt them. She nodded and then leaned close to Pietro's ear to whisper something.

Seeing that Wanda had been talking for a while, and that Pietro, who was in a deep sleep, should have some recollection and wouldn't resist too much subconsciously, Holm pried open Pietro's mouth and dripped a small drop of viscous black venom into it.

After seeing Holm feed the stuff into Pietro's mouth, Wanda started talking to Pietro even more frequently.

Finally, after several dozen seconds, Pietro's body suddenly began to tremble slightly, and his broken leg was visibly and slowly healing in a very unscientific way.

However, as his broken leg slowly recovered, Pietro's tremors became increasingly severe.

"Is this a normal reaction? I can feel his fever, and he seems to be in a lot of pain," Wanda said, looking at Pietro with some concern.

Holm reassured her, "This is a normal reaction. It's just that because your leg is going to regenerate, it will hurt more than usual."

"If he can just hold on for a little while, his leg will be fully recovered in a few more minutes, and the process will be over."

Hearing Holm's words, Wanda's worries lessened somewhat. However, seeing Pietro, who was unconscious, frowning and gritting his teeth, she felt a pang of heartache as she held his hand and softly prayed.

Finally, after a few more minutes, Pietro's broken leg had completely grown back, and his trembling gradually subsided.

"It's almost over. He's a bit tired now, so he might sleep a little longer. You..."

As Holm was speaking, Wanda threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Waaah... thank you... thank you!"

Hearing Wanda start sobbing again, Holm gently patted her back and said, "It's alright now, don't be afraid."

"Mmm..." Wanda nodded, leaning against his chest, trying hard to control her emotions.

As they embraced, Pietro, who was lying on the table, gradually woke up from his slumber.

When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by blinding white light and the familiar laboratory ceiling.

When he turned his head slightly to look at the source of the sound, he saw his sister nestled in the arms of someone who looked like a base militant, sobbing softly.

"What...what are you doing? What's going on here?"

Pietro looked at the two people beside him who hadn't noticed he was awake, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Chapter 208, Dr. Lister's Choice.

“...That’s how it is. If it weren’t for Holm’s help, I don’t know what I would have done…” Wanda said to Pietro as she helped him sit up.

As Pietro listened to Wanda's story, he looked at Holm beside him with a complicated expression.

Although he had dealt with him before, he only learned of Holm's name now.

Logically, since Holm saved his life and even regenerated his severed leg, he should have immediately expressed his gratitude.

But whenever he tried to say thank you, the image of Wanda in Holm's arms would flash through his mind.

“Th...thank you…” Pietro paused, then finally looked at Holm and said.

Holm smiled and said, "You're welcome."

"How are you feeling now? Normally, you should be stronger than before."

Hearing Holm's words, Pietro also tried clenching his fists and carefully feeling the results of his body. He was surprised to find that his body was full of boundless energy, not at all like someone who had just woken up after being in a coma for several months.

Then he stood on the ground wearing only shorts and moved his legs around. If he hadn't woken up midway and actually seen that his legs had disappeared, he would have thought he was dreaming.

Because he doesn't feel any discomfort at all, his leg feels as if it had never been injured, and even better than before.

Thinking of this, Pietro started walking, and walked faster and faster until he even started running.

"Be careful..." Wanda warned worriedly from the side, but before she could finish her sentence, Pietro had already started running faster and faster.

“I can be faster!” Pietro’s voice echoed in the laboratory, but his figure had vanished without a trace, leaving only a blurry silhouette circling around him.

A few seconds later, Pietro stopped and looked at Wanda excitedly, saying, "Did you see that? I have special abilities too!"

"You've awakened superpowers too?! What's going on? Is it like me? Or is it because Holm helped you with your treatment?" Wanda looked at Pietro's changes with surprise and delight.

“You both have this ability hidden within you. Yours was already brought out during the last incident, and his is only now being guided out by me,” Holm explained to Wanda and Pietro.

He remembered that in the movie, the two characters' superpowers were created through experiments using Loki's scepter after the Battle of New York.

Unexpectedly, the two of them already possessed superpowers in this world. Wanda didn't even need any external assistance; she awakened her powers directly under intense stimulation.

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing…” Holm said, glancing at Pietro.

Pietro was still immersed in the excitement of awakening his superpowers when he heard Holm's words, so he looked up and listened attentively.

Looking at him and then at Wanda beside him, Holm paused for a moment and then smiled, "Remember not to overuse your abilities, and don't rely on them too much."

"If you rely too much on your own abilities and are too confident, you will have weaknesses. Once these weaknesses are exploited by the enemy, they will be fatal."

Holm originally wanted to tell Pietro what kind of constraints Venom clones would have on him, but after thinking about it, he decided it was better not to say.

Having been saved by him and considering their past interactions, he believed that Pietro and Wanda would not betray him.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to explain it directly and leave them with a lingering resentment. After all, even the most open-minded person can't accept having their life in someone else's hands.

And even if the two of them really betray him, it's not too late to reveal this trump card then.

Wanda and Pietro were unaware of the thoughts swirling in Holm's mind, simply assuming that Holm was genuinely trying to remind them.

"I will be careful, and I will never let myself become like that again. That feeling was so powerless and terrifying, I never want to experience it again in my life." Pietro still feels lingering fear when he recalls the powerless and painful feeling he had when he was unconscious.

After confirming that Pietro had fully recovered, Holm dressed him in normal clothes and then took him and Wanda back to Warner's office.

In the office, William Baker, now in Werner's guise, was sitting on the sofa, while Dr. Lister, who had been unconscious, had regained consciousness.

Although he had regained his senses, he still hadn't accepted the current situation. He kept his distance from William Baker, and his eyes betrayed his panic.

The more William Baker resembled Werner so convincingly that it was difficult to tell them apart, the more terrified Dr. Lister became.

After all, such a fantastical ability is too unbelievable and hard to accept.

"What? Still can't accept the reality? The real Werner is lying in that secret door. Do you want to go and join him?" Holm said, sitting down on the sofa and looking at Dr. Lister across from him.

“No…no…” Dr. Lister was waving his hands to explain when he saw Pietro, who had recovered, standing next to the sofa.

"!!!"

"He...how could he be! What's going on?!"

Dr. Lister stared wide-eyed at Pietro, even jumping up from the sofa and kneeling on the floor to feel his legs, confirming that they were real and not prosthetics.
