章 308: All-Black

As all of this was going on in Halycon, Asgard received an unwelcome guest. A guest who had a very powerful weapon. John actually didn't fear the guy but that sword that he wielded.

The sword had a very terrifying reputation. It's name was even known to the Gods and the Celestials even fought against the actual owner of the sword.

Knull.

This All-Black sword or the Necrosword was essentially the first symbiote. Yes, the same species where Venom came from. The All-Black was manifested from the shadow of the evil deity Knull and tempered using the divine power of a slain Celestial. Primarily taking the form of a sword made from living darkness, All-Black was wielded by Knull during the dark god's deicidal rampage, earning it the monikers of the Necrosword and Godslayer.

Knull was the deity who belonged to the darkness from which the The Celestials made the different universes from. Knull didn't like that another party had come to his home and made his peaceful home dirty.

Knull, felt by creating universes the Celestials soiled his home and thus attacked the Celestials, even though he was defeated by the Celestials, he was able to kill some of the Celestials.

Knull knew that he wouldn't be able to kill the Celestials easily, so he created the Necro Sword. The first symbiote. When Knull made the sword he had to use a hammer striking at it. The hammer strike produced massive sound and the forge produced heat for its shaping purpose.

And from that point on sound and heat became the main weakness of the first symbiote and this trend continued to all of it's later generations. It was for this reason that Venom and all other symbiotes had weakness against sound and heat.

And of course even after making the sword, Knull was defeated again and decapitated (not killed). After that battle the sword escaped. Since the sword was a symbiote it was able to travel in space easily.

And after years of searching for a good host, he finally found one who was worthy of his host.

Gorr, the God butcher.

Gorr was a normal guy who lived on a very barren planet where their species used to go through hardships everyday just to survive. They lived a nomadic life and deaths due to hunger, hunted by animals, lack of water made their lives more harsh and cruel.

But even after all of this they worshipped Gods. They believed that Gods would make their life easier. Gorr too believed in the beginning but as he lost his parents, his pregnant wife he lost faith in Gods.

He was denounced from his clan for losing faith in Gods and was banished into the wilds alone. But destiny had other things saved for him. After twists and turns, The All-Black fell into his hands.

And since being the first symbiote, the sword had tremendous influence on Gorr, making him go into rampage against Gods. Gorr vowed to purify the universes from all Gods and hunted Gods actively everywhere in the Universe.

In the actual story, Gorr was defeated by three Thor. Yes, three Thor.

One from the past, one from the present and one from the future. It took a whole lot of power to bring Gorr down. And even then he later got resurrected from the All-Black which had previously escaped in the battle.

And now Asgard was visited by the same Gorr, well at least a version of Gorr in this universe. When John first saw the images and the sword, All-Black was what came to his mind. And since it was All-Black, it was probably Gorr since he was the second owner of the sword.

Truth to be told, John was scared at the beginning. If it was the actual Necrosword it would have been a very tough battle as it was one the top 5 weapons in the universe and might have needed all the forces together to defeat Gorr, but the moment Gorr landed with his spaceship on Asgard, John felt relieved.

Because with the help of Nabu and his magic, John was sure it wasn't the actual Necrosword. Though the sword had the same kind of power, the power of darkness, it wasn't so overwhelming that John would get serious about it.

"What's wrong with this sword? Isn't this the All-Black?" John mumbled.

"I have a feeling that this sword is just an imitation of All-Black. Not the actual Necrosword." Nabu gave his own thoughts. As they were conversing in John's head, Gorr finally stepped down from the spaceship with which he came here.

The spaceship was huge but it was piloted by him alone while he searched for Gods all over the universe. When he heard of Asgard he immediately steered his ship to its location.

The sword always followed him, but surprisingly it seemed agitated the moment he stepped at Asgard. It was as if the sword was afraid of something.

章 309: A fake one

"Gorr, the God butcher." John opened his mouth to speak after Gorr landed.

"You know me? Have I become that famous?" Gorr as if he felt embarrassed that he was famous. John felt it weird with this reaction of him, as he expected a more serious version of him. John then looked at the black sword in his hand.

The black sword looked like it was a part of his hand. And small strands of it covered his entire body making it look like a cool black attire. When John focused his magic on the sword he felt the sword shaking. And that shaking was not because of excitement, but out of fear.

John smiled at it as he knew that the symbiote sword must have felt his phoenix power. Even though his power is passive and he never shows it to others, some beings could always sense it.

"Can you tell me why my Necrosword is afraid of you?" Gorr asked.

"Necrosword? Hahaha.. What lies has the sword fed you to think this sword is the Necrosword? If it was the real Necrosword I would have never faced you alone. This is just a fake. An imitation. The real Necrosword would never be afraid of me."

When John said, the sword trembled. The sword didn't think this new guy here would know the real Necrosword. Gorr's face became serious when John said that.

"How dare you say my friend is a liar. Die!" Gorr said as he used his sword to make a cut motion at John. John easily dodged, but the momentum of the sword made it touch the ground.

And this caused a huge wave of destruction around it after it impaled into the ground. Even though it was a fake Necrosword, it was still powerful and could easily cause massive damage to anyone in it's path. It might not be able to kill actual Gods but dealing a seriou damage might not be an issue.

John who saw this was also amazed. Even a fake one was this powerful, he wondered what the real one was like.

"Didn't expect this fake one to have some real power. Gorr, I respect you. Your history of rising from nothing but ashes is commendable, but your hatred has consumed you. Gods are not omnipotent that they will save everyone on every turn. They are called Gods just because they are more powerful." John said.

"You know nothing of me. I have lost everything. And Gods are to be blamed for this. They didn't help any of us. None came for our rescue when we most needed them. I will purify this universe of this curse called Gods." Gorr said in a harsh tone now. His expression had taken a turn from the happy go lucky guy that John saw in the beginning.

"This purification is just a way to cover your own weakness. Your weakness of not being able to rescue your family, your loved ones. This just shows your insecurity. If you are really so good then you should have rescued and saved the weak ones since you are all powerful now. But instead you let the hatred consume you." John said.

"Shut up!! Just shut up!!!" Gorr shouted as he used the sword to give another blow at John. John continued dodging him. But Gorr's wave destroyed many things in it's path. The houses, the streets, the marketplace place were all getting destroyed by his assaults.

"The truth hurts. Isn't it Gorr?" John asked.

"You are a God too, aren't you? I will capture you and then show you the heads of your loved ones. Maybe then you will understand despair." Gorr said in a twisted voice.

"God? No. I am just a normal human being. I am not even Asgardian. I am here because I have business here and I don't want to see anybody being hurt by such an insane guy like you. But since you threatened my loved ones, I will have to take this fight seriously now. Didn't you want to know why the sword was afraid of me. I will show you."

And then John transformed himself to a full Phoenix form. The sword was shaking terribly now. The sword didn't expect John would have such insane power. Even from a distance it could feel the heat coming out from the body of the bird.

The strands that were clutched to Gorr's body were receding now slowly as it fell into weakness. And if John's presence wasn't enough, Thor and the whole team appeared behind John.

He turned his head to look at the new versions of Thor and Strange. Whatever he had imagined in his head for the new Strange and Thor, it was exactly like that.

"How dare you attack my home?" Thor shouted the moment he appeared. He used his Stormbreaker to hit Gorr. And since Thor's power level was different from the past, that hit alone threw Gorr at least a few kilometres away.
