The training base for the second phase Symbiote Legion was also on the mountainside, not far from Tony's spaceship research location.
This was for ease of management, and also in case anyone dared to harbor ideas about the spaceship; the Symbiote Legion would teach them a lesson!
The training grounds were established underground.
Tony stood on a high platform, overlooking a wide, circular area below. A group of symbiotes were leaping and fighting, resembling a gladiatorial arena.
Unlike the training methods of ordinary legions,
The Symbiote training model could be described as brutal.
They paired up, engaging in fierce, live combat, which appeared extremely bloody and shocking.
The symbiotes who were struck showed no blood, and within two seconds, they would get up from the ground, roaring and charging at their opponents.
"Good! Full of spirit!"
Tony, satisfied and proud, introduced his training model to Lin Feng.
What others perceived as a "brutal" sparring method seemed quite ordinary to the symbiote squad.
This was because symbiotes possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities, and this level of training could hardly harm their core essence.
Blade and bullet wounds were like a light drizzle.
To truly injure a symbiote, one would likely need to deploy a couple of missiles.
Furthermore, the current symbiotes were no longer afraid of fire or sonic waves, making them an incredibly powerful and fearless suicide squad.
"There's absolutely no need to worry about loyalty!"
"Even if they leave, I will retrieve the corresponding symbiotes."
"But I doubt they'll leave unless they're driven away!" Tony said with a smile, watching the swordplay below.
With such generous benefits, no one would willingly leave.
Despite their somewhat disheveled appearance fighting below,
Once they left the training base, each of them was at least a millionaire.
Besides the salary and bonuses provided by Tony, he not only didn't forbid them from taking on freelance work but even encouraged it.
Mercenary work, assassinations, and bodyguard jobs were permitted as long as they were reported and recorded.
This humane management also helped increase the symbiotes' combat experience, so why forbid it?
A whistle blew, and the fighting symbiotes demonstrated perfect obedience.
They stopped their actions and quickly formed ranks.
A symbiote with feminine features stepped forward and announced loudly, "Rest time is over!"
As she finished speaking, the symbiotes retreated into their bodies like a tide, revealing muscular men.
Tony was not a cruel taskmaster; when it was time to rest, they would rest.
The female symbiote, along with two burly men, brought several large boxes of chocolate, which landed on the ground with a thud.
This was the best supplement! The symbiotes' favorite!
The female symbiote also shed her outer layer, sat on the ground, and began eating chocolate.
Lin Feng glanced at the true face of the female symbiote and exclaimed involuntarily, "Holy shit??"
"Is that Natasha?"
The one who had shed the symbiote's outer layer was none other than Black Widow, Natasha.
Tony chuckled.
"Surprised?"
"Natasha is now the leader of the second Symbiote Legion," Tony explained.
"Things haven't completely broken down with SHIELD yet, but Nick Fury has approached me more than ten times about the appearance of the Symbiote Legion."
Tony continued his explanation.
Given Nick Fury's personality, how could he ignore the emergence of the Symbiote Legion?
Although Tony didn't fear SHIELD, his father was one of its founders.
Moreover, while SHIELD's methods were often questionable, their underlying goal of protecting Earth was not.
So, as long as Nick Fury didn't overstep his bounds, Tony was reluctant to destroy SHIELD.
In response to Nick Fury's demands, Tony made some compromises and entrusted the training and management of the second Symbiote Legion to Natasha.
Natasha's combat knowledge and physical fitness were exceptional, and with the symbiote's enhancement, her combat power was undeniably first-rate.
Seeing Tony make such a significant concession, Nick Fury was satisfied and immediately began his own maneuvers.
Since Natasha was a SHIELD operative, the ownership of the second Symbiote Legion became somewhat ambiguous.
One could only guess if Nick Fury would have Natasha secretly recruit them.
It was obvious to anyone that he would.
But all of this was within Tony's sight.
Did they think Tony was a pushover?
Where did the symbiotes come from? They were the sons and grandsons of Venom.
These were not rebellious children from movies who defied their fathers.
Combined with Tony's Infinity Stones, with a single command, who would listen to Nick Fury?
As soon as Natasha made a move, a symbiote secretly informed Tony.
As a result, SHIELD not only gained no advantage but also provided Tony with an experienced coach.
This round, it was Teacher Tony's victory.
"However, I haven't excessively researched the Mind Stone, as you mentioned," Tony added, as if to prevent Lin Feng from misunderstanding.
Despite Tony's carefree demeanor, he was actually cautious.
His daughter, Morgan, and Pepper gave Tony something to care about, and now he considered things more deeply and from a wider perspective before acting.
After showing Lin Feng the Symbiote Legion, Tony took him to the spaceship research warehouse.
The Temple Two had already been largely dismantled.
Although many of its technologies were still not fully understood, it had played a significant role in Tony's scientific research.
Of course, Lin Feng wasn't particularly interested in these. He merely had Tony organize another set of data for him to keep.
The data was still for the original universe.
However, the amount of data this time was significantly less than before.
It primarily concerned cosmic exploration.
Frankly, Earth in the Marvel universe was not particularly advanced in cosmic exploration. Without external help from Thor, Rocket, and others, it would be difficult to truly achieve interstellar travel.
But Tony already possessed the relevant applied technologies.
Who wouldn't envy him for having a Superman-like friend who gifted him a spaceship-class battleship?
No envy, no envy.
Alright.
It seemed Tony was living a pretty good life now.
His own forces were developing, and the disasters that should have occurred had been resolved early by Lin Feng.
Now, Tony seemed to only need to quietly await the birth of Morgan.
Lin Feng left with the data Tony had compiled.
Tony had developed very well. Lin Feng wondered what his homeworld in the original universe looked like.
Thinking about it, Lin Feng searched for the aura of Ling Lu and directly teleported.
After this evolution, Lin Feng had developed many inexplicable and peculiar abilities, and sensing auras was one of them.
It was more convenient than the super-perception Lin Feng used to use to find people.
This ability was somewhat similar to Goku's in Dragon Ball, but due to Lin Feng's power, it was much easier to use.
Specifically, Lin Feng could locate Ling Lu even if she was not in the Marvel universe!
