"His mother was a Quincy. So it might relate to that. Though I think his real Zanpakuto is someone else. It has nothing to do with me. Or maybe he being the first Quincy who is a Shinigami might have played in its manifestation."
All were silent after this explanation.
"Time out.. Time out... Can anyone explain to me what is going on and who the hell is he? Quincy? Shinigami? What does that even mean?" She-Hulk spoke out. None of the 616-Avengers had any idea of who he was and where he came from.
Surprisingly, it was Tony who came forward to explain what Shinigami and Quincy were and their origin. And also the fact that Mephisto was dead.
"It was you who killed him?" Johnny Blaze came up and asked. He was the Ghost Rider, though his power never came from Mephisto originally, he had great connections with him (watch both of the movies to understand a part of his power)
"No, there were many people involved in this. I wasn't the only one. Now the Soul Society has taken over its place and Lucifer too. Not the Lucifer of this multiverse. But from another multiverse." John explained the death of Mephisto as concisely as possible.
"Then I will have to thank these Shinigamis. Me and the other Riders from the multiverse have been searching for someone to thank." Johnny said.
Tony continued to explain their history and power. Though he didn't mention having Aizen in their prison. The 616-Avengers now had a general idea of who Quincy was and who the Shinigami were.
"What are your powers actually?" Wayne asked. Like him everybody was curious.
"I can deal huge damage, have the power to grant others powers and have control over time. It was for this reason I know many of you here. I have seen the future of how you fight that being you call Knull. I am not a life saver, but if the people are just in control and there is total darkness it will be boring. I know what the Shinigamis might have hinted of us being the bad guy and we having an ancient war with them but I am too tired now. Don't want any war. Too much blood has been spilled."
John's Avengers were skeptical of him as this was a guy who came out of nowhere and claimed that he was a good guy. But they didn't shoo him away. His knowledge of Knull was proof that he knew what was going on. It was a top secret matter and it was impossible to hack into the servers of Tony Stark.
So for now they accepted him but he won't be the part of the main team, nor would they include him in the plans. He would be sent as 'Cannon fodder'. John, who was listening to their discussion, just smiled. In front of him, it might be his own team that would prove as Cannon fodder if it ever comes down the line.
But he didn't say anything against him. Him adding Ywach wasn't in his plans. But after seeing the craze of Knull, he needed failsafe and Yhwach could be that easily. He wasn't sure if he would get help from the Enigma Force and he didn't want to leave his fate to other abstract beings.
They needed all the guns to defeat Knull. And Ywach was a strong one. If he added any known villains in the team, none of the Avengers would have accepted, but Ywach was a person who was never shown in anime. Only in manga. And John never dealt with the topic of Manga.
This gave him an edge. And Ywach was the loophole he would be able to easily use. No one would point fingers at him and he had already said that he had no idea of who he was. Acting and lying all these years had paid off, and none of them suspected.
They didn't trust Yhwach and that was fine. He doubted that his powers ever needed a plan to work upon. He himself was an army and he could manipulate people, however he felt like it.
"The plan is in motion. The people have arrived. I can already see the destruction he is causing in his path while coming here. But we need to battle him here. Only here it would be possible to stop and kill him. Hope everything goes to plan, or the world would just plunge into darkness."
John sighed as he walked away. He needed a mental rest from all the running around. He had been using his powers continuously in these few days and all the noise that comes with it could easily overwhelm people. He would shut it out, till Knull arrived.

John asked Tony for a room to rest. He needed to close his eyes for sometime. As John left the room, there was another topic of discussion among all the Avengers, which included both of the teams.
"Why is it that John is always involved when a new person emerges from other universes for almost no reason. Does his existence smell very good to other powered people?"
"I don't know. But it has always been the case. Most of the time, he has a story for it but this Yhwach has no story. Nothing. It's as if he is losing his powers."
"Oh c'mon. This guy is the only one who has no explanation."
"Does he really have no explanation or is he hiding the story of this guy from us."
"Does it matter? He is helping us and though we can't gauge the power of this new guy, any addition to the roster is a welcome one. Besides, he did appear out of nowhere."
"So we are going to trust this new guy?"
"Of course no. Just a simple acknowledgement is fine for us."
"We do need to ask John after this war if his powers attract people from other universes. His dreams. His different powers. It might have another kind of origin than we know. Or maybe John himself doesn't know. I hope in the end it doesn't turn on us. We have always been good guys. It might just blow up in our face one day, so we need to talk it out with him."
"Alright let's win the war first. Knull will not be easy, I will say it again."

In this way, a day went by. Knull was supposed to appear in a day or two and all were tense. In order to get rid of the tense atmosphere, the Avengers flew away to handle the people of New York. Not that it would matter. Venom has an idea of how powerful the Hive was but only John knew that his arrival will just plunge the whole planet into darkness. This hiding was for naught.
But he didn't want to call it out. Saying this will only increase the panic of the people, including the Avengers. All he could do was stop with all his power.
After John woke up he used his cosmic consciousness to search for a person who must be in this universe roaming around the cosmos with freedom. He had contacted him once to give him a task. This task was important.
It was Norrin Radd. The Silver Surfer.
"Norin did you find what I asked you for?"
"Of course no. You are asking me to find a needle in a haystack. Let me rephrase that, you are asking me to find a bacteria in a universe scale."
"I know what task I have asked of you. But this is important. The scale of the universe depends on it."
"I know I know.. I have seen what he has been doing to the universe. Even had a face to face confrontation with him. Had to run. You were not kidding when you said he is a God."
John raised his eyebrows when Norin said that. Norin, after the war with Black Winter, came back to his universe and wanted to travel around for his mental peace and be as a protector like the Green Lanterns. In comics, Knull did mention of him meeting Norin but John never paid much attention to it, as at the end he wasn't the main hero.
"Don't annoy him. You just need to find that thing, before we run out of time."
"You did say that the thing will come looking for me. So why am I searching for it."
"I have changed the course of the universe by inserting myself, so I don't want to regret later."
"Fine.. I will continue searching for this. Hope you are right."
John had given him a task. A weapon to search for in the universe which would help him immensely in this war. If he or any of their members could get a hold of the weapon, they would for sure win the war.
All John could do now was wait for it.

Meanwhile, all of the Avengers were busy relocating people and helping. Both of the teams came forward for it. The people had little fear seeing new faces as they remembered the last time these new faces had appeared, the sun went out.
John's Avengers could feel their fear but they still helped them asking for nothing in return. Only kindness could triumph over all kinds of negative emotions. Of course some actions could never be forgiven, but they didn't care. Everyone helped the way they could.
In this way one more day went by, when the sirens of the satellites rang loudly in all space stations, space agencies and especially in the Avengers Tower. The siren meant only one thing.
Knull was here!!
