Almost as soon as they moved away from the center of the hall, the floor cracked and exploded from bottom to top, and hot red magma spurted out, spraying ten meters high, like a disaster scene of a small volcanic eruption.
Under the astonished gaze of Eddie and Peter, first a huge molten hand appeared, and then a giant molten head.
Then, the entire body of the fire element crawled out from the ground, and the surrounding objects covered by the magma began to burn and melt, becoming a part of its body.
"No way, there's another one?" Peter opened his mouth in horror.
"Different! Completely different! This one is totally incomparable to the ones just now!"
Eddie opened his narrow white eyes wide and clenched his dark fists as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Quick, follow me out of here!"
Reverting from ant size to his human original form, Scott appeared out of nowhere and shouted to Eddie and Peter.
Chapter 517: Toxin's Speculations about the Past
Toxin Agent Eddie, Spider-Man Peter, and Ant-Man Scott rushed out of Pym Technology. Almost as soon as they walked out of the door, the company building behind them collapsed with a loud bang.
The red-hot molten lava spurted upwards dozens of meters high, illuminating the night sky red. On that night, people in New York could see it by looking up.
"Gululu—"
Bubbles burst, hot smoke rose, and molten lava spread outward. The entire Pym Technology Company building was as fragile as a plastic toy and was constantly melted by the molten lava gushing out from within.
The company's original site turned into an active volcano in a short moment. With a deafening roar, fire elements condensed into human shapes crawled out from the ground.
After devouring most of the building, its flaming lava body grew several times larger and reached a height of ten meters. It was like a demon from hell, its existence was a disaster, and the air within a hundred meters radius soared upwards after it appeared.
Dozens of police cars that arrived at the road in front of the door stopped at the same time. After the police got out of the cars, they looked at the fire elemental monster with pale faces and did not dare to move forward.
Finally, it was the team leader who reacted first. He picked up the police communicator from his waist and dialed: "This is 101 Picton Street. Contact the fire truck immediately... No, notify S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Unnatural Office and ask them to send special personnel for reinforcement!"
"This is not something we can handle." The team leader looked away from the fire element and waved his hand, issuing an order to the rest of the police officers: "Everyone, retreat a certain distance! Take the nearby residents one kilometer away, block the main traffic arteries within three kilometers, and prohibit vehicles and pedestrians from approaching this area."
After all, he is a policeman who serves as the captain of a police station in New York City. He has experienced the New York War not long ago. He knows that there are some things that the police cannot solve and can only wait for real people to solve them.
"In today's madly collapsing world, if there were no symbols of peace and superheroes, the Earth would probably turn into a real hell."
The team leader sighed, took one last look at the fire elemental monster, and turned around and evacuated without hesitation.
At this time, in the yard of Pym Technology Company.
The grass withered rapidly under the scorching heat. Eddie and the other two stood side by side on it, looking up at the fire elemental monster that was still devouring and growing in front of them.
Scott said anxiously with a dry mouth: "If we don't stop it here, it will devour New York City, and then spread the fire to other countries and continents until the earth is destroyed."
"The problem is... how to stop it. Its weakness is in the innermost part of the magma!" Peter smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to shoot out spider silk, but before it touched the fire elemental monster, the spider silk burned to ashes in the air.
Scott clenched his fists tightly and sighed, "If I had known earlier, I would not have used up all the water balloon capsules. I should have been able to deal with it in its initial small state. But now, I really can't do anything..."
Eddie, who was still in the toxin symbiotic form, didn't say anything. He kept staring at the growing fire element, wondering what he was thinking.
In the mirror space, separated by a world barrier, Lian Yutong looked at the fire elemental monster that appeared in the real world with a raised eyebrow, and glanced at Kyle beside him, "Boss, is it time for us to take action? The three people outside can't deal with that thing."
"Wait a minute." Kyle's face remained calm.
"What are you waiting for?" Yutong asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"This time, maybe it's an opportunity." Kyle responded calmly. In the mirror world, his eyes stayed on Eddie without moving at all.
"If it were you, maybe you could do it. You've thought of that, too, Toxin."
"Let me see what your split mutation is all about."
Kyle thought to himself that there was a great connection between him and the toxin. As for whether this connection would develop in a good or bad direction, perhaps he would be able to see some signs tonight.
This is also the biggest reason why he allowed the toxins to remain on Earth.
Scott and Peter were like ants in a hot pot, racking their brains to think of a response strategy. At this moment, Eddie, who was standing between them, suddenly took a step forward.
"Huh?" Scott and Peter looked over in surprise.
"You guys stand back a bit, as for it... I'll stop it." Eddie stared at the fire elemental and said hoarsely with determination.
Scott's eyes widened and he said quickly, "You're alone? How can you stop it? It's the incarnation of lava, nearly a thousand degrees Celsius!"
"I know, of course I know that."
Eddie's chest rose and fell, and he looked at the fire elemental with narrow white eyes. He said inexplicably: "But for some reason, I always feel that this is nothing special... It's like I have seen fire and temperature that are more powerful than this..."
This is not only Eddie's doubt, but also a reflection of Toxin's heart.
Speaking at the same time.
Without waiting for Scott and Peter to respond, Eddie continued to move forward and actually walked directly towards the fire elemental.
"Eddie!"
Peter reached out to grab him, but the fire elemental roared, and large pieces of hot molten lava splashed out. Peter's face turned pale, and he and Scott could only retreat backwards, keeping a safe distance of 30 meters from the fire elemental monster.
At this time, Peter looked forward again, and Eddie's figure had already disappeared into the lava.
"Crazy, that guy is crazy, isn't he seeking death?" Scott shook his head vigorously, not knowing what to say.
Inside the fire elemental's giant body which was as big as a hill, the magma was flowing back and forth like the viscous sea tides, except that it was just red-hot magma tides at thousands of degrees Celsius.
Eddie in the toxin symbiotic form entered here, his muscles tensed, dark cuticle bulging, and he used his strong body to withstand the high temperature, without any signs of being swallowed and corroded by the magma.
It is naturally not afraid of fire and has extremely high fire resistance.
This is something Toxin knew since birth, but he didn't know that he could remain safe and sound in molten lava at thousands of degrees Celsius.
"it is as expected… "
The voice of Toxin talking to himself rang in Eddie's head.
"What's wrong? Toxin, what did you think of?" Eddie was still confused.
Toxin whispered, "I always thought it was normal that I wasn't afraid of fire, but all the symbiotes I met before were afraid of fire—without exception, I was the only special one."
"What does this mean?" Eddie asked.
"There are two possibilities. One is that I lost a part of my past memory and gained a high degree of fire resistance from a creature with fire attribute."
"Second, I may have been killed by someone's fire once."
Toxin's tone was cold and complicated. He controlled his combined body with Eddie, ignoring the red and hot magma, entered the interior of the fire element's body, and found the ether energy ball that served as the energy core.
