Chapter 620: The after party

"So? We killed a God!! What's the big deal? it's not like we haven't killed Celestials before?" 616-Tony said as he didn't think it was much of a big deal. Knull had killed Celestials before, and it never mattered.

So why would killing an abstract entity be of any significance?

"Celestials die over a course of time and new Celestials emerge in place of them. The dead three Celestials which you see have faced death millions of years ago. They had already been replaced. Celestials are like an army of Gods. But Darkness is different. It is a unique being, which existed long before the multiverse came into existence. Such kinds of existence are important to the multiverse." Loki said.

"So what now? Darkness got killed? Now Yhwach and others will face judgement?"

"I don't know. They might be called by the Living Tribunal and Arishem. TVA won't step into this since I am the current head of it."

"So the higher Gods? Whatever. We don't care, if they want to take them away, they will have to go through us. It is not our fault that Darkness died. Who told him to be so weak?" 616-Steve said as he expressed his support for the trio.

John's Avengers and X-men of both of the universes didn't expect such words from 616-Steve. They had known how everything had gone down with John's Avengers and 616. So this was out of the blue when 616-Steve extended support to John and others.

Not that it mattered to John or the Avengers, but the support was heartwarming.

"Will you really support us after all that we have done?" John asked.

"The last time you came you taught us a lesson of unity. We were not united at that point so we had no control. But this time, we won't make the same mistake. The secrets almost doomed us during the Secret Invasion and the distrust almost separated us. We don't want history to repeat itself. Last time we only had the mutants and the inhumans who had saved the world when the Avengers weren't functional. It was more of a personal damage than for the people of the world. We all needed that off time to understand what we really lacked. Though Doom caused a lot of damage, he got the end he deserved so no complaints there. All we can do now is look forward and be together. And this is where we will make amends. We will not fall again, and even if we do fall, it will be by the enemies, not by our own mistakes."

This was a grand speech by 616-Steve. None of them expected that they had thought so much before Knull came. John had his own selfishness of handling Knull as he wanted the throne of Hive. But whatever 616-Steve said moved him too. He was grateful to them, at least they didn't abandon him.

"I am sorry for whatever I did in the problem that Wanda caused. It was out of line." John finally admitted that what he had done was a little out of the line. It was the first time he had admitted his mistake.

"No. We are sorry for forcing you to take such drastic measures to change. The situation shouldn't have been reached. We had lost our way that time. But we are back. We might make mistakes again so it's good that we have people now to bring us on track if we veer away from our main mission." Ms. Marvel came forward and said.

"Alright enough serious stuff, whatever happens we will face it together. Right now we need to celebrate not the brood way of what has happened. You all are invited to the grand party tonight. Be in your best dress and Steve, you better wear modern things." 616-Tony declared out of nowhere.

"What about the people who were under the control of Hive?"

"SHIELD will take care of it." Skye approached forward. She was already informed that she would be the next Director of SHIELD so she had already started with her preparations. The first one being to bring the people to world order again. And of course handle New York.

The whole structure of New York had changed due to the emergence of the Transformers, so that needed delicate handling too. This was a huge responsibility but she was looking forward to it. She had been groomed for a long time for this role and now it was time for results.

"The human resources of Stark Industries will extend hand in this regard and make sure that the Transformers will be treated well. I don't want any kind of experimentation on them. All of the Transformers will be registered." 616-Stark said, to which Quake nodded. She had to keep an eye on this and this will take a long legal battle.

But this power of Transformers was bestowed upon them by Tony from John's Avengers. And 616-Tony didn't want his counterpart to come after his ass later.

Chapter 621: King in Black

Since the other Avengers and the X-men didn't have anywhere else to go, they stayed at the Tower and recuperated. It's not like John who had an almost unlimited source of power and stamina. Those who were fine went to handle the affairs of the city as the people were returning back to their home.

The city was half destroyed. But there were no casualties. The world faced a doom where people were controlled. There were no causalities per se due to the symbiotes by there were people who committed suicide and people who died due to heart attack. There were very few cases such as this but they were still there.

The 616-Avengers and the others needed to go and help in any way they could.

John on the other hand was talking with Eddie.

"Venom, there must be a ruler of Hive. Do you want to get placed on the throne? There are advantages and disadvantages if you do that."

"Tell me about them."

"First, if Venom sits on the throne, you will be in control of all the symbiotes in the multiverse and will be able to have the power to look into different planets, situations and places where the symbiotes are located. You can commit espionage, murder, robbery or any kinds of things you wish to just by sitting at home and directing one of the million symbiotes that are located in the universe." John said to Eddie

Dylan and Eddie were surprised that such huge feats could be possible just by sitting at the throne. Eddie was not so animated about it, but Dylan looked all hyped up. He wanted Venom to sit on the throne. Since the moment Eddie came to know that Dylan was his son, Venom had been protecting him and helping him in any way possible. So he really wanted Venom to sit on the throne.

"What is the catch?"

"The catch is if Venom sits on the throne, you will age faster and in the same way die faster. It is consistent for any being who will sit on the throne. The host's body needs to be of higher genetics to be able to handle the computation of millions of symbiotes while sitting on the throne. Knull was a special being and for that reason he was the King in Black. Same will go for the successor. You will die in a month if you become the King." John finally dropped the bomb. This was true, Eddie aged in 2 days after he became the King in Black. All the havoc that the symbiotes had caused, in order to repair the damage, Eddie almost died due to old age by handling the burden of sitting on the throne.

Eddie and Dylan both looked horrified by this now. Eddie knew there was a catch in handling this godly power, but he didn't expect that it would be so terrifying.

"Venom, is that true?" Eddie asked. Venom floated out from the back and nodded his head. He had already known what would happen if he sat on the throne and for this reason he never asked Eddie to take up that position.

"I would rather not take such a terrific role and die a few days later. Find someone else." Eddie denied without any thought. He finally got to be free from every problem and didn't want another kind of responsibility in shoulder. He didn't want to die early and make Dylan an orphan. He had already lost his mother, he didn't want his son to lose his father too.

John nodded his head. He could already feel from before that Eddie would never take up the mantle of the throne. He didn't want that kind of responsibility on his shoulder.

"So who will sit on the throne?" Dylan was also in favor of the fact that his father wouldn't sit on the throne. He too didn't like the disadvantage that comes with it.

"I will see what I can do. Maybe I will take one of the anti-symbiote and make myself the King. The Hive always needs a King so there must be one." John said as he finally laid his plans. Though he used the word maybe, he knew that it was the thing that he would do to take over Hive.

After talking a bit with the father-son duo, he left to search for a suitable anti-symbiote that was still roaming on the Earth. After the death of Knull, the negatively charged symbiotes killed their hosts and were free from the control. Most of them have returned back to Hive.

But there were still some left who would be starting their journey soon. John would find one such symbiote and bond with it. This 'anti-Venom' type symbiote would be perfect for him. These symbiotes weren't afraid of heat and sound, thus Phoenix's power would have no effect on them and he could be the King with no obstacles. All he needed to do was convince the higher symbiotes who were on higher echelons.
