"What's going on with the Symbiote Phantom? Is she coming or not?"
In a cosmic space near the Nine Major Kingdoms, Thunder, the symbiote, was leaning against the control panel of their spaceship, saying, "If we keep waiting, we're gonna waste too much energy."
"Don't rush. It's not easy for her to slip away from Asgard. Without her, it won't be easy for us to leave the Nine Major Kingdoms either," Blue Spirit said as he controlled the spaceship.
"The energy we managed to get, we have to pay tax to the Holy Sanctuary, then we had to pay a hefty sum to get our spaceship back from the black one-eyed dragon, and then we have to pay off the Rainbow Bridge's controller and Asgard's fleet to leave the Nine Major Kingdoms..." Green Sting shook his head and sighed, obviously feeling a pang of loss for the energy they had to forgo.
It wasn't so easy for these symbiotes following Venom's plan to transfer their Faith Power to just slip away with their gains.
Firstly, they had to pay the Holy Sanctuary tax on Venom's energy. Their cosmic spaceship crashed in New Mexico on Earth and was eventually recovered by S.H.I.E.L.D.
If the symbiotes wanted to get the spaceship back, they had to pay a ransom to S.H.I.E.L.D. Once they got the spaceship back, they found that many important parts were taken apart by Nick. They had no choice but to find the dwarves in the Nine Major Kingdoms who overcharged them an exorbitant sum to completely repair the spaceship.
After restarting the spaceship, they were stopped by Asgard's patrol fleet while trying to move beyond the Nine Major Kingdoms. Although they had Odin's permission when they came, now that Odin was no longer the Divine King, they couldn't challenge the current officials with the emblem of the past. So their only option was to re-apply for the visa.
In the end, it was the Symbiote Phantom that resides within Sif who found Frigga. Frigga asked Thor to grant them special permission to leave, allowing the symbiotes to finally leave in their spaceship.
However, bribing Asgard's customs has always been an old tradition. Not only did they have to pay off the fleet, but they also had to bribe the controller of the Rainbow Bridge that would cost them a fortune.
Although the symbiotes obtained a considerable amount of Faith Power, watching it deplete like a stream was agonizing.
While the cosmic special agents were sighing, a shadowy, purple figure circled around their spaceship twice. Thunder, looking at the monitor, said, "Hey! Phantom has finally arrived. Let her in."
The hatch on the underside of the spaceship slowly opened. When Phantom walked in, the other symbiotes were dumbfounded. Blue Spirit took a good look at Phantom and said, "Why have you become so small?"
The Symbiote Phantom that walked in was only about half the height of the other symbiotes, looking very mini and adorable, with none of the ferocity of the other cosmic special agents.
Blue Spirit reached out and touched Phantom's shoulder and then frowned, saying, "Phantom, it's clearly stated in our special agent code that we can't parasitize underage individuals, especially your host...they seem rather young, it's a severe violation..."
"Cough, cough..." Phantom coughed twice and said, "Believe me, it's really not my problem... Move aside, I'm feeling a bit...a bit carsick..."
"Carsick?" It was the first time Blue Spirit heard of such a term. He asked, "Do you mean the cars on Earth? But the speed of human vehicles are less than half your usual walking speed, how can you be carsick?"
"No! Not that car... move aside, I'm going to throw up! Blargh..." and so, Symbiote Phantom hurriedly spewed out a bunch of symbiotic factors. The other three symbiotes circled around her. They looked at the dirtied spaceship floor in astonishment, then at Phantom. Confusion was evident on their faces.
"If you're not feeling well, go rest for a while," Green Sting helped Phantom up, intending to take her to the spaceship's guest room. The other two, still puzzled, didn't ask any further.
"Alright, I'll get the spaceship started. We'll talk when we get home." Thunder made his way to the cockpit and smoothly started the spaceship. He first pushed a lever forward, then pressed a button. After waiting for a while, he pressed the button again.
The golden symbiote was taken aback. In disbelief, he pulled down the lever and pressed the button again. This time, the spaceship's engine finally started successfully. Listening to the familiar roar of the engine, Thunder sighed with relief. But before he could leave the cockpit, with two booming sounds, the spaceship's engine died again.
"Did the ignition device's circuit break?" Thunder questioned, confused. Then, he transformed into gold lightning and infiltrated the spaceship for a once-over. Reappearing in front of the cockpit, he cursed, "Those damn dwarves! They cut corners! Our engine still hasn't been repaired properly!"
By now, Green Sting had already returned. He said, "I'll take a look at the engine compartment. Maybe we can fix it ourselves."
All three symbiotes headed down to the engine compartment, where it was quite obvious that the charred piece of unidentifiable metal in front of them was beyond their abilities to repair.
"We need to go back and find those dwarves! Damn it! Indeed, no matter which part of the universe, all dwarves are cunning!" Thunder angrily mentioned, ready to leave the spaceship to fly back to the Nine Major Kingdoms to settle scores with the dwarves.
"No, we can't go back. Don't forget; we are carrying so much energy. If Asgard was willing to let us leave, it was only because of our relationship with the humans. If we return, they'll surely swallow us whole." Blue Spirit looked anxious as he spoke.
Green Sting and Thunder exchanged a glance. They knew Blue Spirit was right. Asgard's reputation in the cosmos was for being violent and brutal. The fact that they could leave the Nine Major Kingdoms was fortuitous. If they were to return now, they would just be delivering themselves right into hostile hands.
"How about we let Phantom go back to the Supreme Magician? Worst-case scenario, we give them another sum of money and let them directly open a portal to send us back home," Thunder suggested with gritted teeth.
However, both other symbiotes shook their heads. They were the first to leave Earth to avoid being extorted by the Supreme Magician. If they were to go back now to face the same situation, they would be throwing away a lot of money.
At this moment, they heard a series of footsteps, and a little girl stepped out from the room where the Phantom resided.
All three symbiotes turned their heads to look at her. Blue Spirit looked at Helen's face and said, "Oh my god, Loki?! ......... Oh, no, you're not Loki, you're his daughter, Red Bee said Loki has a daughter."
Green Sting had already approached and gently touched Helen's head, saying, "You're Phantom's current host? You're too young and not suitable for cooperating with a symbiote, we need to send you back to Earth..."
Helen rubbed her eyes and said, "It seems like your spaceship isn't moving. Where do you want to go? I can take you there."
"We want to go home, the Andromeda Galaxy to be precise, but that's not important. You're still a child and you can't stay in space for such a long time. Thunder, you and Phantom take her back to Earth." Blue Spirit operated the spaceship as it opened the cabin door.
"The Andromeda Galaxy? Wait for a second..." Helen let go of the hand that was rubbing her eyes, fumbled her hair, and then headed for the cabin door.
As she left the spaceship, the three symbiotes could just see Helen's petite figure through the porthole. The moment they turned their heads, a glow emerged from Helen's body, then, her figure disappeared.
"Where did she go?" Thunder asked in confusion.
The next second, they heard a wild roar. The three symbiotes tensed up, slowly turned around, and through the window behind them, saw a monster that was ten times the size of their spaceship.
The massive creature filled with spikes, revealed a frightening smile as it opened its fang-filled mouth. Then, it grabbed the spaceship with one hand.
Thunder suddenly realized what she intended to do, he stepped back and extended his hand saying: "No! Wait! You can't do this, we will..."
Before he could finish, the monster lifted its arm and swung it around, and with a "whoosh", the spaceship vanished into the depths of the universe like a meteor.
Near the Sky Island in the Binary Island System of the Andromeda Galaxy, various shattered celestial fragments slowly drifted by. Among them, a blueprint mixed within the rocks stood out conspicuously.
A hand reached out, and with a "whoosh", the blueprint flew over. The slightly old knuckles clenched, and with a "snap", the blueprint was opened and placed in front of him.
Under the brilliance of a star, a black cloak was coated with a golden glow. A meteorite was being disassembled into different parts, forming various shapes. As it danced joyfully, it flew towards the support structure at the bottom of the Sky Island.
Suddenly, a meteor streaked from behind, accompanied by a scream. The blueprint was slowly put down, revealing a solemn elderly face behind it.
A spaceship and a figure, minute in comparison, stood face to face, bathed in the glow of the navigation beacon, evoking a sense of ceremonial beauty.
But soon, this quiet and solemn atmosphere was broken by a retching sound.
"Ugh...I finally understand...what the Phantom was talking about...about feeling car sick...ugh...help..."
"My god, I feel like I'm falling apart, every cell in my body wants to throw up...please stop, I need to get out and get some fresh air..."
"Wait, there seems to be someone outside, don't go out yet...ugh..."
"It can't get any worse than this, I need to get out of here right now...otherwise I'm really going to throw up...ugh..."
As the spaceship's door had just halfway opened, the figure standing opposite waved gently.
The massive spaceship turned into a meteor again, streaking across the surface of the star. The trail brought about by its extreme speed sliced through the solar surface's storm, just like a hot knife through butter.
Against the background of the immense star, the tiny spaceship drew a beautiful arc. The symbiotes' screams were swallowed up in the silent cosmos.
On the surface of Klinter Star, a multilegged insect scurried along the shadow of the rocks. Instantly, red sticky tentacles adhered to its back. The multilegged insect struggled helplessly but eventually got enveloped by the crimson symbiote resting on the rock.
The crimson symbiote, after devouring a delicious meal, slowly shifted its mud-like body, hoping to find a spot with more sunlight to bask its symbiotic factor under.
Just as it was moving, a blue tentacle clung to its back. The crimson symbiote was flung high and then tossed into the mouth of a blue symbiote monster.
The blue symbiote jumped up, crashing to the ground with a roar. Suddenly, tremors echoed through the ground. As the blue symbiote monster turned around, a massive spaceship crashed onto the surface with a "bang."
On the planet's surface, countless colorful symbiotes were flung into the air, creating a grand spectacle of a fireworks show on this dark planet, unseen in a long while.
