Chapter 616: The end is near (3)
Yhwach wanted to use his own sword to bring down Knull once and for all. The axe was pretty strong for sure, but he didn't want to taint another man's weapon to kill an enemy of his. Though in nature, Knull had nothing to do with Yhwach but he was chosen as the Champion of Light. So he had an obligation to bring the enemy down.
In addition, he liked the world here. He could feel that he was in control under John, but he had his own thoughts. He was given freedom in total, he could even make his own army here if he wanted. Serving him. So all in all this was good and sunshine for him.
Since both Light Force and John wanted this piece of shit to end, he had to take it seriously. His freedom was on the line. Yhwach brought out his long single blade sword and inserted it right through his chest. There were no questions asked and no grand speech for him. He was a man of few words.
Knull who was struggling before to get out from the hands of Clark, suddenly saw a huge sword emerging right through his chest. His eyes went wide as he saw this. He couldn't believe it. He had tried scaring them by using the shadow of Darkness and its history but it seemed like it didn't matter to them.
His death was written on the stars!! And he could do nothing about it.
"I told you Knull, you scaring us with Darkness will do nothing to us as we have already accepted the presence of Darkness in the world. There can be no Light without Darkness and no Darkness without Light. Now just die and go in peace and may you complete your obsession with the Wall." John said.
"No... No.. No.. how could this be happening? What have you done?" Knull spoke out in total fear. It felt as if he had seen some kind of demon and it gave him immense fear.
"Death scares everyone. Doesn't it?" Clark said seeing the severe reaction of Knull. It was odd for sure but none cared at this point.
"No... You are killing the Darkness. What have you done? Why is Darkness dying?"
"What?" All three were taken aback. They never expected such words from Knull. Knull was dying pretty fast and they could already see it. The dark symbiotes that were attached to him were detaching themselves from his body. But John and Yhwach could feel that Knull was also losing power. A power that seemed ancient and unique.
But Knull was not just losing that ancient power, but it was as if the ancient power itself was dying. Yhwach and John had a grave face. They calculated wrong. They didn't expect such things to happen.
".... No....No.... You all will die for what you have done. You have hurt the Darkness. This will create imbalance in the multiverse. Hahahaha.. You all deserve it. Didn't want to get rid of me? Didn't you want to keep the secrets of the Wall to yourself? Now you will go to the grave with that secret. Hahahaha.." Knull screamed one last time before he died. His body just turned to ashes and with that the ancient power too vanished.
Darkness was obliterated from the multiverse forever. Never to return again. But this didn't put a smile on the faces of the three. John especially knew the gravity of the situation. There was a crucial balance that had always been maintained by all. The multiverse has always been in balance. Now out of nowhere it was broken.
And now like dominoes, it will create a storm and now it will be very hard to predict what will happen.
"What just happened? Why did Darkness just die out of nowhere?" John asked in a very serious tone to Yhwach. For the first time, he was in full control of his summon. Normally, he abhorred it but this time he didn't care. The last attack of his proved to be fatal for him.
Yhwach's face changed from being a casual one to a face which seemed like it was drained of all colours. John didn't care if he had the Light Force. He didn't care even if Light Force would tell others of his control power. All John needed now was answers.
"I don't know. I just used my sword to kill him. And out of nowhere Darkness died." Yhwach said in a neutral tone. He seemed like a robot, programmed to answer John.
"System, is he speaking the truth?"

Yes, Host.

"Then how did Darkness just die?" John murmured. He was confused of what just happened. It was at this time that Clark answered.
"I think I know why Darkness just died."
