Chapter 623: King in Black (3)
John seemed astonished for a second. He thought that he would have to convince the symbiotes to make him the King. More so because his power had always worked against their species. Even now, when the dragons came forward to talk with him, they didn't come too close to Johnny. It was only because of the anti-symbiote suit that he was still accepted here.
But then again, Eddie was chosen as the King without much thought. Since became the savior of the universe, he was given that position, not because he had the Venom symbiote from the start. In fact, when he fought against Knull, Eddie didn't have the Venom symbiote. When Light Force asked Eddie of which form he would prefer for the fight, he chose the Venom form. The Venom form during the fight had nothing to do with the Venom symbiote, who at that time was stuck at the Codex.
So John in this case, was more acceptable for the position of the King. He fought against Knull without any help from the Light Force and even had good relations with the host of the Light Force. Yhwach's powers were gravitated towards Knull and his attitude was questionable even to the symbiotes. He had the attitude of a person who was used to sitting in a very position for a long time.
John on the other hand was more on the humble side and on top of that he was a host to one of the Primary Gods. Now that the problem of heat was out of the equation he could easily be the next King in Black.
For all these reasons when John asked if he could be the King, the symbiotes were happy to offer him that position. As all the symbiotes admitted that John would be their new King. The symbiote that was attached to John went through a change. The prominent white color of its skin changed and the color black took over.
After a long tussle between black and white, over the body of John, a new symbiote form was born. One with a white colored suit for John with streaks of black lines over it and even a new form of the logos representing John's power and like Yhwach, John now had a black cape. A living cape that was waving at the non-existent wind. (Imagine the cape of Doctor Strange when he was dreaming walking over the zombie Strange).
He looked cool in that form. But it only lasted for a second before John took the symbiote inside his body and all of the suit and cape vanished. All of this had happened inside the Codex so John was still at the Pacific Ocean.
John opened his eyes after the ceremony had taken place and he finally took his position as the King in Black. He could feel that his life force was taken away to control all the symbiotes and bring all of the symbiotes that had been spread in the universe back to Klyntar.
Well, not all of them!!
Some of them would roam the universe and do good for the people. Not all symbiotes were sentient and they needed to be taken care of when they were born. So John as the King had to look over that. He would fulfil his task of being the King slowly when there is time and bring order to the chaos Knull had spread during his journey to Earth over countless galaxies and planets.
John had a smile on his face. The final result was what he had been hoping for a long time. He had been working tirelessly for this and now the position of King was in his hand. With this he could genuinely keep an eye on the multiverse. He might not have omnipotence but keeping a check of the multiverse events was all that he wished for. Especially when he had come across an enemy which he had no idea of.
This imbalance would surely create an enemy to compensate for what he had done and he needed eyes and ears everywhere. And symbiotes would be the best way to deal with it.
After seeing everything was working fine in his body, he vanished. He was back at the Avengers Tower. In a few hours it would be night and the party would start soon. Until then he could roam around the city and help with the repairing process and making sure that everything was in order.
When he came out he saw the old New York, the one where he had grown up. Over the years, the New York of his world had changed a lot. The advancement of technology had changed the city and the New York he was seeing now was the old one.
It was pretty nostalgic for John as he walked around and helped the people.

Chapter 624: The after party (2)
Soon it was night and the Avengers Tower was lit like never before. This was a grand occasion for the superheroes of Earth-616. They had just won a huge war and the people of Earth needed to be assured that their superheroes were working perfectly fine.
In fact many of the people of Earth had seen that the superheroes had been helping them to gather their lives together again and for the better. The governments had already issued statements that a very old alien had tried to take over their planet but the superheroes of various Earths had come together to help them.
616-Tony specifically asked for this as he wanted the people to know that they had help from the multiverse too and this was also a warning to the governments to back off. The new Transformers had already ignited greed among many officials, but he told them 'no' right on their face.
And he threatened them the same way John did once. The governments had their heart stopped for a bit when they came to know that John was present in this war and he was the main spear of this whole operation.
They knew better than to antagonise someone who had once shown what power really looked like.
After 616-Tony made sure that everything was in order he came back to the Avengers Tower for the party. Many had already arrived and some were on their way to the tower. There were tons of heroes who had participated in this war and so the number of people was quite large. It was fortunate that the Tower was big enough to handle all the people and of course since it was a party there would be food and drinks around, so there were more people being added in the whole celebration.
"You have to admit that I can throw some big parties. I bet 10$ that even in your world there was never a party as huge as this." Tony said as he drank from a champagne glass to Wayne. Bruce was dressed properly for this occasion and he looked quite handsome in his attire. Since it was a party held by Tony, of course there would be girls. So many girls were giving him flirting looks.
"We never had such a problem that we will need help from other universes to handle. So of course you won in this regard. Congratulations on being the magnet of the worst possible problems of the multiverse." Wayne gave a fitting answer to Tony's words. Tony was tongue tied and didn't expect that Bruce would lead the argument in such a way.
"Hey.. This time it was your people who gave us more problems. Now we have no idea of what this imbalance would cause us." 616-Tony accused.
"If we didn't help then it would not have been so smooth sailing for all of us. There were too many of them." Barry who was roaming around came with a glass of his own. He looked sad a bit as he could never get high with drinks. Speed Force took that power of alcohol away from him.
"That is true. We have been quite lucky in this regard. There were no casualties. Not even humans." 616-Steve entered the whole discussion going on between 616-Tony and others. They all started discussing what might happen in the future.
"Where is the god-guy?" 616-Tony asked. All started searching for him and soon found John out. He was currently sitting at the bar with a glass of his own. They all went to the bar and joined John as he was spacing out by himself alone at the bar.
"Hey John, what problems do you think we might face since you say there is an imbalance." 616-Tony asked. John didn't reply to that and was still spacing out.
"Yeah, what are your theories?" Barry asked this time as he put his hand on John;s shoulder. But John who was sitting at the bar was still without a word. He was still spacing out looking at the bartender.
"John?"
All the others immediately felt something was wrong and all looked at the bartender as that was the person on whom his eyes were travelling. His eyes were not even blinking as he was watching the bartender.
The bartender seemed like an old guy with white hair. He had wrinkles on his face and wore squared spectacles. He was bartending very seriously as he was mixing drinks but he had a very attractive smile on his face. The odd thing was that all the other bartenders were young and energetic while this guy was the only old person in the whole group who were attending to the guests.
Wayne, who was with them, immediately felt something was wrong shouted.
"All guests who are not superheroes, please vacate the premises."
