Before Light entered the battlefield, John wanted to make sure everything was in place. For this reason he had been rechecking everything. Only thing out of the equation was Knull. he had been hiding. and for what purpose he had been hiding, John didn't know but that was not something he needed to think about now.
If worse come to worst, he will just destroy all symbiotes and leave Knull high and dry. Without his minions he would lose his greatest source of power and codex. No matter how powerful he was now, it would be a piece of cake for John and with Light and others, he would be dead meat.
After he checked everything for the last time, he sighed. The end battle was approaching and they need to be sure that there were no casualties. Actually, when Knull had been wreaking havoc in all of the universe, it didn't mean that he had been killing people, it only meant that he had been acquiring hosts using his symbiotes and upgrading his power.
Basically, he had been sending different planets and galaxies to eternal Darkness. It would be hard for sure for them to live but it for the moment they weren't dead. For this reason John had not attacked Knull outside.
Earth was their own territory and they could get all the help possible, which couldn't the same for other planets. So Earth 616 was a chosen battlefield by John deliberately. He never spoke out these thoughts for sure because he knew that speaking it out might not actually bear any fruit and some of the 616-Avengers were for sure to hate him.
But this was the best option. He had already changed the timeline a lot. He had inserted his hands on Time by a huge margin. This was the least he could do to keep some things straight. Though it wouldn't matter as the Timeline had become a straight line.
But at the end, it was still a line. He could predict some things possible for him. John was thinking all of this as he was flying around and incinerating some symbiotes mindlessly. His power never got exhausted and he could go like this for thousands of years. For now, all he needed was wait for Surfer.
Soon the deadline was up and as John was thinking that Norrin was late, a small pseak of light shined upon the city. Everybody looked up to see how sunshine was able to come out again after a long period of Darkness.
This felt like as if somebody has shown mercy to the Earth with those rays of sunlight. But that was not the only spectacle, after there was a hole on symbiotes that were covering the sky, a person barged in, flying down.
From afar with this spectacle, it looked like as if it was an angel coming down in the damned place to rescue the people from eternal damnation. Or at least that's what many Avengers felt when they looked over.
Forget about the Avengers, even both of the X-men teams from afar felt that. But those who could see closely, knew who had arrived. And labeling him as an angel would not be an understatement.
Because the person who poked a hole among the symbiotes and had arrived from the universe was Norrin, a.k.a, The Silver Surfer. With the Light Force, a.k.a., The Enigma force. John too got a glimpse of such an incredible entrance of the Silver Surfer.
"Norrin, took you long enough." 616-Tony shouted when he said that. Norrin had been a friend of the 616-Avengers for a long time, after the first incident of Galactus, the Fantastic 4 and the higher echelons always maintained a cordial relationship. And they had already know that the help was arriving with the help of Norrin.
Now that he was here, everybody rejoiced or at least those who knew that he was the help.
"Took me some time to find what I was searching for." Norrin said and he had a smile on his face. After getting away from Galactus, he had been roaming free and enjoying life instead of being a stone cold sculpture made of silver, he was having fun around. John flew over and said.
"So the war is in the final phase."
"It is... Oh.. it seems like the thing is itching to choose a new host...." Norrin said as he held his hand near his chest and miraculously out of nowhere a light ball came out of his chest. The light ball was the brightest thing the people around had ever seen. It was as if they were seeing sun from up close.
But surprisingly, there was no sense of heat from it, only light. Endless amount of light. And around the light ball, smaller light balls revolved around like planets revolve around the sun. Only difference was that there were distinct orbits around it.
This was the authentic Enigma Force.

Everyone who was close by or the ones who were far away could suddenly feel that the power of symbiotes had suddenly gone down out of nowhere. This already proved the main theory of Light Vs Dark.
Light was here!!! So of course the servants of Darkness would scurry around in fear. As this was happening all around, the Avengers and X-men were taking this advantage and beating the shit out of the symbiotes. For the first time, the number of symbiotes wasn't overwhelmingly trying to devour them.
Almost all of the 616 people who didn't have suits were almost devoured by the symbiotes. If not for John's team, it would have been a tragedy that they wouldn't be able to avoid. Finally they had the upper hand, thanks to the emergence of the 'angel', so of course they were venting their anger on the symbiotes.
Just a few seconds of the arrival of Light and there was already a huge commotion. John who sensed all this had a smile on his face. He had been waiting for this for such a long time. And now his second plan would be set in motion and he couldn't wait for it.
The ball of Light levitated in front of the body of Norrin and it flew away to the new host that the one had chosen. The others who saw this and were close already knew what this Light ball represented. The higher levels were already informed of this.
Now all they had to do was wait for Eddie to become the new host of Enigma Force and put an end to the farce created by the host of Darkness. Or at least what John thought. He had forgotten that Eddie became the God of light after a long process.
To become God, Eddie had to die first. His consciousness had to go through Codex and had to go through a gruelling process to take over the mantle of Enigma Force before he went to defeat Knull. (yes, in the actual story Eddie died and his consciousness was trapped in the Codex. It was due to Enigma Force that he was brought to life and took over the mantle of God of Light)
But here there was never such a case. Eddie was fit and fine. Knull never came to throw him down the cliff. Even Venom was having the time of his life as both of them were flying around and killing bugs.
And John didn't know that for God of Light to take over one had to die or at least had to go near death to get its acceptance and right now there was nobody at the team who even came close to this criteria.
The ball of Light floated around as it went near all the Avengers who had been fighting and even floated near them for a few seconds to see if the person was worthy to hold the mantle. John and other higher echelons were confused about what was going on.
"Hey, you said Eddie would be the God of Light directly? What the hell is going on?" Barry couldn't help but ask. John was also confused by this.
"I don't know. Eddie, fly over to the Ball and see if it chooses you."
Eddie understood what he meant and he flew to Wolverine where the ball of Light was floating around. The Light Force was right now judging if Logan (John's Universe) was worthy enough to be its new Champion!!
Venom flew over and stood Light in order for it to judge him and complete his legacy. He had already known from John that this was his future, so even though he hated this, the part of his destiny being under control he still went through with it.
It was Knull. There was nothing they could do and they needed to get it over with. As Venom went and stood by the Light Force, it seemed like it got distracted and 'looked' at Venom. It slowly floated near Venom for a good 5-6 seconds and at the end it just didn't choose him and flew to the other Avengers!!!
This came as a shock to all, especially John. This was not how the script was supposed to be. Venom was supposed to be the God of Light. John was anxious now. He didn't know what the Enigma Force was even thinking. Venom was both overjoyed and felt a little bit of sadness when this happened.
He finally felt liberated from the clutches of Destiny. But, he felt sad because the idea of being a God was in itself tempting, especially Venom. He had been hearing about him being on the Light side for such a long time now but this dream was crumbling very fast.
"What the hell is going on?" John almost roared out.
