Beneath the deep ice lay a vast space where a colossal black dragon, frozen, was in slumber.
Sensing that the Symbiote he created was within reach, the dragon's crimson eyes suddenly snapped open.
"I've finally waited for you! Betrayers, now unseal me, and when I return, I will forgive the sins you committed against me!"
At this moment, a dim voice emanated from within the ice.
Kytheron walked up to the giant dragon, which housed the consciousness of Klyntar's God, Knull, and observed him carefully.
"Weak, truly too weak!"
"I really don't understand how a dignified Ancient God would entrust his consciousness to such a weak avatar to cause trouble. He truly isn't afraid of death!"
"Also, as one of the first Ancient Gods after the birth of the Universe, your consciousness is a bit too frail, isn't it!"
After thoroughly examining the Symbiote dragon before him, a strange smile appeared on Kytheron's face.
He had never expected the consciousness of this so-called Symbiote God to be so weak.
He was not much stronger than the Ancient One, which made Kytheron somewhat suspicious of how much his power was exaggerated.
However, upon closer thought, Kytheron realized that the only notable achievement of this Symbiote God seemed to be killing a single-Universe-level Celestial member and beheading him shortly after awakening.
After that, he was ganged up on by several other Celestial members and beaten into a panicked retreat.
Single-Universe-level opponents no longer caught Kytheron's eye!
Kytheron extended a hand, and with the surge of divine power, the seal that had imprisoned Knull for a thousand years instantly disintegrated.
"I am finally free! Damned Aesir, you dared to imprison me for a thousand years. Once I regain my true form, I will utterly destroy you."
Knull burst through the ice that had frozen his body, roaring in fury to announce his return to this World.
"So noisy!"
Before Knull could vent all the frustration of being sealed for so long, he heard the being in the Symbiote armor say such a thing.
"You dare to speak to me like that? It seems I will retract my forgiveness for you. Your lives end here!"
Knull, in his dragon form, sneered at these words, and a mental link instantly spread towards Kytheron, or rather, towards the Venom on Kytheron.
However, the next moment, a look of shock appeared on his dragon face.
"Damned fellow, you actually dare to defy My Master's orders? Have you forgotten that I created you?"
Knull, attempting to control Venom, felt Venom's fierce resistance.
"Obediently return to My Master's control!"
Knull instantly strengthened his mental link.
However, with Kytheron continuously supplying him with energy, Venom actually managed to resist Knull's control, but Venom was still in immense pain.
His consciousness felt like it was repeatedly oscillating between breaking and reforming; the agony was unimaginable.
"My Master, Knull's control over me is still strengthening. I might not be able to hold on much longer!"
Kytheron could feel Venom's will to resist, which made him feel a renewed sense of approval for him.
"Knull, is it? Venom now belongs to me. You can go cool off somewhere else!"
With a sharp gaze, Kytheron clenched his right fist and threw a punch at the Symbiote dragon Knull.
"Bang!"
Instantly, the Symbiote dragon exploded.
There was no blood; all that splattered around was black viscous fluid, like oil.
A pale, terrifying, ethereal figure appeared before Kytheron; this was Knull's consciousness.
"This is impossible, why can you move?"
At this moment, Knull was filled with bewilderment. He had not expected this fellow to still be able to move while he was trying to seize control of the Symbiote.
According to the Symbiote race's possession principle, once bonded with a host, the Symbiote generally takes the dominant position.
However, Kytheron's current performance made him realize that hosts being controlled by Symbiotes was a thing of the past!
"Venom, tell your creator what you should call me!"
Kytheron looked at Knull's consciousness and then spoke to the reborn Venom.
"Honorable God, you will always be My Master."
Venom very shrewdly pledged his loyalty to Kytheron, which infuriated Knull!
"Damned betrayers, one day I will eradicate all of you. I will create even more loyal slaves to replace you."
Even now, Knull was still spouting nonsense, because he had nothing to fear.
He was the embodiment of the Abyss; as long as the Abyss endured, he could not be destroyed.
Even if his body and consciousness were shattered, he would still revive and return after a few thousand years.
This was why he had dared to roam the entire Universe since the beginning of his existence.
From the chaotic era of the Universe's birth, ever since Knull was awakened in the darkness, he had almost constantly been fighting or on his way to a fight.
That group of Gods back then, more or less, had all clashed with him. In these processes, he had died countless times, but in the end, he always revived and returned full of vigor!
"Venom, do you want to replace Knull and become the Symbiote God?"
Kytheron ignored Knull's shouting and calmly spoke to Venom, who had transformed into his armor.
Upon hearing this, Venom almost crashed!
"My… My Master, I…"
For a moment, Venom was so shocked that he stammered and couldn't form a complete sentence.
"Tell me, do you want to or not."
"It's best to think carefully before answering. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, then I don't mind eliminating you right now!"
Hearing the murderous words in Kytheron's tone, Venom trembled all over.
"My Master, I want to!"
After hearing the answer he wanted, Kytheron nodded with satisfaction.
As his armor, if he didn't even have this much courage, Kytheron would seriously consider replacing him with another Symbiote in the future!
"Impossible, you want to steal My Master's power, you're dreaming!"
Seeing Kytheron and that damned betrayer openly discussing replacing him right in front of him made Knull furious.
However, with only a consciousness remaining, he had no right to stomp his feet.
A phantom of a goat flashed in Kytheron's eyes, and a giant Goat Spirit instantly appeared behind him, opening its mouth and swallowing Knull's consciousness.
The divine power of the Goat Talisman was the natural bane of these spirits, mental bodies, and consciousnesses.
"Venom, you should still remember the coordinates of your home, Klyntar, right!"
Upon hearing Kytheron's words, Venom instantly became excited.
He knew that Kytheron was going to take him back to his home to show off and, incidentally, help him seize the throne of the Symbiote God!
"I remember, I certainly remember!"
Venom said hurriedly, while in his heart, he was already fantasizing about his vision after becoming a God!
