Cap 185: Conclusion (Patreon)
Content
When Hulk fell asleep, Adrian stopped using his powers. As soon as Adrian stops using his powers, he falls to the ground and starts breathing heavily. It was like he was very tired, which should be impossible.
[Sorry, Adrian. I used a little bit of my full power through his body. Because of that, his body couldn't take it.] Phoenix spoke apologetically. Despite having created Adrian's current body, he was not yet prepared to support the full power of an entity. After all, Phoenix is a being of pure energy. It is the entity responsible for all life in the multiverse and Adrian's body cannot support all this power.
For Adrian to withstand all the power of an entity, he must make his body to slowly get used to large amounts of stored energy.
Currently, Adrian doesn't do that he just uses the powers of Phoenix as if it were a battery. Phoenix supplies the energy and Adrian uses it, but the one in possession of the energy is Phoenix and not Adrian.
"It's okay, I was just a little surprised that I got tired. After all, you said it wasn't possible anymore." Adrian spoke in a gentle tone when he heard Phoenix's tone.
Phoenix sighs in relief, and explains: [Yes, under normal circumstances you will never be tired, but if I use all my power like I did now; you will be a little worn out. However, with a few minutes' rest, soon you will return to normal.]
"I see ..." Adrian said.
Adrian sits on the floor while looking at the green monster that was sleeping a little away from him. He started to think about the fight he had and a satisfied smile appeared on Adrian's face. Although the fight was Adrian's victory, he was wondering what would happen if you let the Hulk get stronger, would he be able to beat him? Would he be able to overcome a being that can become infinitely stronger?
These thoughts went through Adrian's head. "Hahahaha, that was interesting ... My friend, in the future, I will find a place so that we can release all of our power." Adrian decided without even thinking about Hulk's will.
When Adrian fought with Hulk, he felt the control of his powers improving. As Adrian has no opportunity to unleash all of his powers, he cannot evolve efficiently.
It's like a muscle, you have to exercise it to grow and become stronger and Adrian never had the opportunity to exercise his muscle, but now he has a perfect training partner.
Adrian thinks for a while and asks, "Were you angry, Phoenix?"
[A little, I felt my pride being hurt when he resisted my telepathy.] Phoenix spoke in a neutral tone, she was proud to be the strongest existence when it comes to telepathy.
"I understand." Adrian said as he lay on the ground and looked at the starry sky.
He thought of several things, but he remembered something. "Why didn't the human inside Hulk wake up?" He was talking about Bruce.
Adrian looks at Hulk again. “Well, I don't particularly care about Bruce. So it doesn't matter to me. ” He looked at the stars again.
Suddenly, he started hearing several voices in his head.
[Hmm, that was an epic fight.] Scream commented like he was a professional on the subject.
[Yes, it looked like I was watching an anime with lots of explosions of powers.] Agony commented.
[If we're going to think about it, is Hulk the shounen protagonist who takes the power out of his ass to get stronger? After all, when he was defeated, he always came back stronger.] Riot said.
[... That's true ...] Venom says.
[Looking as a spectator, this fight reminded me of Dragon Ball z.] Lasher said.
[Yes, Yes. Hulk looked like Brolly who gets stronger when he's angry.] Phage said.
[If we're going to think about it, then Adrian is the villain ...?] Scream commented.
[Yes, he is the villain.] All the symbiotes said.
"....."
Adrian narrows his eyes when he hears what the symbiotes have said. "Why am I the villain ...?"
[Well, you destroyed half a city with your powers.] Agony spoke.
"...."
Adrian had no way to defend himself against this argument.
[You used that bird's powers to send almost the entire population of Harlem to the skies, this is practically a villain's act.] Phage said.
"I did it so they wouldn't get hurt in the fight, it was the most practical action." Adrian defends himself.
[We know, but in the public eye, that was the attitude of a villain.] Venom said.
[I wouldn't be surprised if you were feared by everyone in the USA now.] Venom explains.
[Yes, Yes.] The symbiotes agreed with Venom.
"....."
Adrian begins to think of civilians fearing him: “Honestly ...? I don't care ... ”He said.
"I just saved civilians because I didn't want to see innocent people dying, I don't seek their approval."
[Wow ... He's become a tragic hero now, too bad. Don't worry, Adrian, you still have us as friends.] Venom sneered.
A vein pops in Adrian's head. “Who is the tragic hero!? You parasite!! ”
[Oh ...? Do you want me to eat your liver? You haven't let me eat some heads in a while, I'm getting hungry!] Venom said.
“I give you two boxes of chocolates a day!! How are you hungry!? ” Adrian shouted. He was feeling the weather around him change a little, but he didn't care.
[The chocolate enters a different stomach.] Venom snorted and said arrogantly.
When Adrian goes to say something, he hears the sound of the helicopter coming towards him. He looks in the direction of the sound and sees a military helicopter. "Well, that was quick."
Adrian gets up from the floor, he stretches his body a little and realizes that his body is no longer tired. He uses the powers of Phoenix and raises the Hulk, then he looks at the Hulk again ...
Soon he has a good idea. "I think I will adopt him."
