Chapter 90 : Suicide Squad
[You're] a kid who wasn't out to hurt anyone. Sure, you've done your fair share of armed robbery, grand theft, destruction of property, kidnapping... But you never wanted to start a new ice age or turn people into popsicles.
— Jake Shell

The venom retracted its tongue into its mouth, wincing from the pain. It turned to look at the four men approaching.
Each of the four had a distinctive look. The first wore sunglasses and a fur-lined down jacket, giving off a cold vibe despite the lack of winter. The second, in a tattered yellow windbreaker, had numerous burnt holes, as if scorched by fire. The third was the boomerang thrower. The fourth, with a naked upper body and loose pants, displayed powerful muscles, and his head was that of a shark.
As they walked, the four men bantered about Venom, making mocking comments loud enough to ensure Venom heard every insult.
"Look at this, everyone! What kind of monster is in front of us? Those big white eyes—do they even count as eyes? They look like squirming plush toys!"
"And that mouth—have you seen it? It's like a piranha."
"And his muscles, Shark King; I think only you can confront this guy head-on."
"It's an ugly thing; this face is so nauseous. Why would Amanda Waller want this thing?"
Their jokes continued as they approached, seemingly afraid that Venom might not hear their insults.
Predictably, Venom was infuriated. His arms reached up to the sky as he roared, stomping the ground heavily, creating a pit. He charged directly at the man who had cut his tongue.
However, the naked upper-body man also shouted, his muscles swelling into a giant over three meters tall, with a shark's head for good measure. The two colossal beings collided, causing the ground to tremble. Venom felt a tremendous force and was sent flying after being knocked down. The Shark King, after stepping out of several deep pits, halted his retreat with a powerful stance.
Meanwhile, the men in the down jacket and windbreaker pulled out guns. One shot freezing rays, the other flames, creating ice and fire twin dragons that rolled toward Venom.
Knowing Venom's aversion to flames, he quickly dodged, but a sudden boomerang appeared in front of him, cutting off his escape. The boomerang exploded like a bomb upon impact, sending Venom flying. The flames ignited one of his arms, and the freezing ray froze one of his legs.
Venom screamed in pain. His hand transformed into a long knife, severing his arm and leg. The symbiote quickly regenerated, restoring him to his original form.
Observing the battle through a surveillance drone, Jude found it strange. How did the rogue gang end up here, fighting Venom?
The signs were too obvious, and they couldn't escape Jude's keen eyes.
The man in the down jacket was Captain Cold, and the one in the windbreaker was Snart's friend, Heatwave Mick Rory. The tongue-cutter was Boomerang Captain George Harkness. As for the last one, it was the Shark King Nanaue.
Ivy scrutinized the surveillance screen and said, "I recognize the logo; those black suits were the first ones at the Hilton Hotel. Coulson mentioned them; they're from the ARGUG."
"ARGUS? That's right; it's Amanda Waller, the scheming woman. No wonder the rogue gang is here. They must have joined the Suicide Squad."
Jude's deduction was on point. On his first day in this world, the rogue gang was hunted down for robbing banks and gold shops. Instead of being captured by the Flash, they were apprehended by the ARGUS.
Under Amanda Waller's threats and coercion, the rogue gang swiftly capitulated, becoming members of the Suicide Squad, carrying out Amanda Waller's dirty work.
On the battlefield, Venom was under siege, unable to withstand the onslaught. Gradually, he seemed to be losing ground.
The little spider asked, "Mr. Herbert, should we intervene? If we don't save Venom, we might lose him."
Jude waved his hand, signaling, "Let's Intervene. Let's end this quickly!"
In the midst of the chaos, Venom faced freezing on one side, flames on the other, magical boomerangs flying around, and the Shark King watching.
Venom, trapped and furious, tried to break free but found himself unable to escape the relentless assault. He yearned to rush forward but was continually thwarted, regretting that he couldn't fly.
"Woohahahaha... Fire, is the most beautiful thing in the world. Don't you love it, monster?" Heatwave shouted with a booming laugh.
"Mick, you dung-mouthed guy, cold is most beautiful. Flames are heretical!"
Heatwave didn't bother arguing; he was accustomed to it. Besides, microbombs were implanted in his body. If they failed to capture Venom, Amanda Waller would make them pay.
"Fire and cold only bring destruction. Plants are the most beautiful things in the world."
Suddenly, another voice joined the conversation. Captain Cold and Heatwave scanned their surroundings warily, but before they could react, they felt their feet being ensnared.
Looking down, the grass beneath them began to grow rapidly. The ten-centimeter seedlings transformed into thick vines. In an instant, both men were hanging upside down, entwined in the vines, lifted into the sky, and securely bound.
"What the hell!"
Boomerang Captain threw two boomerangs to cut the vines, but Spider-Man shot out two web strands. The boomerangs lost their accuracy, falling to the ground with a clatter.
Seeing this, Boomerang Captain had a sinking feeling. He turned to escape, only to be met by another spider web falling from the sky, pinning him to the ground.
Within ten seconds, the rogue gang's three members were defeated. Only the Shark King remained.
Observing Ivy and the little spider on the sideline, the Shark King charged at them with a roar.
But before he could make a move, a multitude of dark purple metal threads materialized behind him.
The silk threads bound the Shark King's legs like a rope, and Jude was pulled forward by the force.
"Get down here!"
Boom!
The massive Shark King crashed to the ground.
Attempting to resist, the Shark King struggled, but Jude clenched his fist, slamming his opponent back to the ground.
Like Hulk pummeling Loki, the Shark King was subjected to a barrage of punches. Seconds later, the ground within five meters of Jude was cracked, and the Shark King lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
Jude kicked him on the head, the green waltz pointing at his eyebrows. "If you dare to resist, I'll smash your head. Understand?"
The Shark King lowered his head in silence, covering his eyes with his hands.
Jude rubbed his sore arm. "Isn't it better to be a mascot? Why fight and kill?"
