Marvel: I'm a Symbiote - Chapter 62 Exploring The Wasteland

Alex had spent the last week with Laura training and seducing her. And he was pretty successful in his opinion.

In that week, besides training for a few hours, Alex enjoyed whatever dates he could with Laura, given the circumstances.

They watched movies on Alex’s makeshift TV that combined the usage of camouflage while pulling the data from the servers in Research Earth.

Due to the unavailability of food, Alex had to get creative and find other ways to feed Laura whose appetite was far beyond normal. Her dormant healing factor needed quite a few nutrients.

Though he could’ve just fed her tasteless nutrient solutions that he derived from his biomass, he wanted to do real meals. Although he still fed her nutrient solutions directly into her body through her skin. The level three bond was pretty useful when it came to that stuff.

In the end, he ended up transferring an edible tasteless element from Research Earth and coating it with his symbiote body. He then emulated the taste of the dishes. So, Laura felt all the experience of eating the food but didn’t get any nutrients through it. It was just an experience thing.

That’s why he had to give her the nutrient solutions. None of these bunkers had any supplies so he had to make do with what he had.

And today was a big day. Her dormant healing factor was finally awakened and was perfectly fine now.

Her current stats were pretty decent.

With the 10% threshold of the Bonding rate, she’d also started helping him generate EP. Alex realized that their bond being at level 3 impacted the Bonding rate’s increase. The only reason that it had only increased by 2% in the last week was that he was playing it slow with Laura, they hadn’t done anything more than a few intimate massages here and there.

This was why it took the full week to recover the dormant healing factor.

They were just done with their training as Alex told her, “Your healing factor’s back.” He said with a smile.

Laura blinked her eyes for a few seconds while comprehending the meaning of Alex’s words, “Really?!” She exclaimed as she jumped into his arms, giving him a tight hug.

“Really…” Alex smiled as he rubbed her back.

…

[Ready?] Alex asked her.

“Ready.” She said as she looked at the doors of the bunker opening.

‘I’ll leave a magical anchor here so that I can find my way back here later on…’ Alex thought as he cast a spell that radiated a unique frequency that only someone with Chaos magic could identify. With his Chaos magic capabilities boosted, he could do quite a number of things with it. It was a very versatile ability.

‘Now let’s hope that there’s no Scarlet Witch on this earth…’ Scarlet Witch was a Nexus entity. Which meant that there was only one of her in one universe. There may be more versions of Wanda in this amalgamation of different versions of Earth, but there was only one true Scarlet Witch and she should be on Earth-616 right now.

The version of Wanda that was bonded with Alex was very strong, but even at the peak of her power, she couldn’t even come close to the true Scarlet Witch who is a Nexus being.

‘Under normal circumstances, there can only be a single Nexus being within a universe… These guys are utterly overpowered powerhouses that have no equal other than a very tiny number of beings. At least within their universe. Now, who would be the Nexus being of this specific universe…’ Alex knew that this clusterfuck of Earths was caused by one of the multiversal authorities of the Marvel Multiverse.

‘Then again… This rule isn’t exactly ironclad and may be broken. There may as well be multiple Nexus beings all around this clusterfuck of Earths.’ He thought.

‘Forget it…’ Alex decided to forget it since he was having a headache when thinking about this complicated stuff. He was going to let things take their natural course.

He just wanted to enjoy his symbiotic life with his sexy and beautiful hosts, corrupting them with his depravity while also helping them get stronger so that they all could survive in the grand scheme of things.

He was willing to bet that even if the Wanda of this earth had that kind of power then she was most likely dead or extremely occupied for now.

‘You know what… fuck it. I’m not risking it…’ Alex decided to change his course of action and not make an unnecessarily risky move. He removed all traces of the Chaos magic from that spot and left a clone there so that he could track back to the bunker.

While Alex was going through his inner monologue, Laura was trying to think of what direction she should travel in. Alex had given her a combat suit that was reminiscent of the comics. It had a Wolvorinesque yellow and black color tone. Her skin-tight pants were half yellow and half black with a silver belt wrapped around her waist. She was wearing yellow boots and a yellow top that served as armor.

Her forearms had silver metallic gauntlets that worked to provide support to her forearms and suppress the vibrations of her claws if they collided with something hard.

[That direction.] Alex mentally pointed to the direction where he felt the presence of an abomination.

His Mana Sense ability had also grown after his increased capabilities to manipulate Chaos energy. Though his Magic Affinity was still Low since that ability was a universal magic affinity with all types of magic and just increasing the familiarity with Chaos magic wasn’t enough to propel everything ahead. Although there was some increase, it wasn’t enough to propel the ability to the next grade.

Laura started moving in the direction that Alex pointed her at. It was currently noon so there wasn’t much of a chance to run into a large number of abominations. Especially since the weekly horde attack had already concluded two days ago with the Bastion’s overwhelming victory.

For now, the number of abominations wasn’t very high.

Soon, the lone ‹Grunt Class› abomination was in Laura’s view. She didn’t waste any time as she ran behind the abomination while Alex suppressed her presence using camouflage.

Sadly though, these abominations seem to have a 6th sense ability that allows them to perceive life-threatening attacks in advance. It worked similarly to Spider-Sense.

The abomination stepped back and dodged Laura’s extended claw, swinging its arm at her in retaliation.

Now that her healing factor was back, her fighting style took a radical shift. Laura let the abomination swing its arm at her and swiped her leg at its throat.

Her foot claw slit the abomination’s neck and it started bleeding, but at the same time, its swinging arm hit her side, flinging her away.

Laura got up while expecting to see its falling body, on the verge of dying, but what she saw surprised her. It was practically unharmed as the wound on its neck rapidly closed.

[How do I kill these dudes?] She asked Alex in disbelief as she dodged its tackle attack and swiped her claws at its back, only to see it heal up in the next second.

[The brain, Laura. Have you never watched a zombie movie or show?] Alex asked with disappointment lacing his tone.

[Oh, I’m sorry that my childhood was spent in a lab while being forced to endure torturous experiments while being called a fucking number for my entire childhood. I didn’t have the time to enjoy movies before my so-called dad saved me. And after a few fucking years, I was captured again!] She practically snarled as she got angry and started angrily attacking the abomination, swiping its calves before cutting off its arm that was swinging toward her to attack her, and then plunging her claw into the back of its neck, cutting off its brain stem and finally killing it.

‘I think I hit a nerve…’ Alex thought as he saw her aggressive actions.

[My bad, Laura…] He said with a guilty tone.

[Yeah, whatever.] She stabbed the abomination a few times to vent.

[I’ll show you all the movies that you missed. I’ll let you live your entire missed childhood in this apocalyptic wasteland. I promise.] The empathetic connection could be both a boon and a curse. Feeling her desolate feelings, Alex was a little overwhelmed and impulsively promised her.

He said all that because he couldn’t bear to see her sad like that.

‘Yep, this is going to be the problem with higher level bonds… And it’ll only get worse as the bond level increases.’

[I appreciate that, Alex…] Laura understood his efforts, [Also, isn’t there a regenerative class too? Was this guy like that?] Laura asked Alex.

[That’s the weird part. Those regenerative classes have an even more monstrous healing factor. The only way to kill them is to vapourize their entire bodies.] Alex told her with a solemn tone.

[How the fuck has humanity survived against these guys?!] Laura was in disbelief.

[People pull through in dire situations.] Alex said and continued before she could delve into the desolate situation of the world.

[I’ll devour this guy and see what happens…] Alex said as a few tendrils extended from Laura’s body and within seconds dissolved the Abomination’s body.

[EP +0.01]

[We’ll need to kill at least 100 before we can see any usable results.] Alex said.

[It’s fine.] She said.
