"Tell me, how did you cross the Wall?" Knull asked as they both clashed again and again with their sword in hand. Each impact was so strong that it would create a shockwave around. This would have been really great to watch if there was an audience around.
"I don't even know what the Wall is and who told you that I came from another multiverse." John had to reply that, though he was confused about the Wall and what Knull meant, he didn't need to care any more. All he needed to do was kill him.
As they fought against each other, the others continued in the background, fighting as many symbiotes as possible. Truth to be told, they would have already been on the losing side with many of them becoming the host of symbiotes, if it was not for Yhwach.
Yhwach miraculously was always able to come to location if a team member was in jeopardy (the power of Almighty) and would be able to save the person by burning the symbiote with his Reishi manipulation. It was as if he was able to see the future on who would fall.
This was a huge boon for the team. And this was why John had brought Yhwach. He could always see the future, though John could see that too, but since he would be occupied with his confrontation against Knull, he needed a safe option.
Yhwach was the only one.
His powers were leaning towards light and soul manipulation, so of course he would be a huge nemesis in this war and he was working exactly like it was supposed to.
"You will not be able to save them even with this guy who is good at soul attacks, I have billions of symbiotes under me. Tell me how did you get out of the Wall?" As John was indulging in his own thoughts of Yhwach helping the team, Knull had to pour a bucket of water on his thoughts.
"Dude, are you serious? I told you I have no idea and still you are continuing with this. I am from this multiverse. And I got the watch from a friend. That was a lie." John couldn't help but lie at this point once more. He needed answers too but he was sure this guy was too obsessed to answer him properly.
"Lie. I can see you lying through your teeth. Fine. Since you will not speak about it, I will force you. my children, decimate their planet."
The symbiotes that were very close to Earth doubled their speed. And now in seconds they would almost reach the stratosphere of Earth.
John could already feel it.
"Avengers, fall back."
And the next moment as Knull took a swipe on him, he vanished and along with him all the members of the Avengers in the universe who were fighting,
Knull roared seeing that they just pulled out a vanishing trick but there was nothing he could do to stop it but at the end he had a smile on his face.
"Fine. I will consume you and then read your memories from the Codex. I will strip Phoenix Force from you. I have been in prison for such a long time, do you think I have not thought about the weakness of All-Black?"
In the meantime, John and others were back at the headquarters with a solemn face.
"He has become more dangerous than I thought he would be." John said as he was very confused by the words of Knull, but it was not the time to think.
"He would be here in 30 seconds tops. Blast them when they cross the spaceships."
Tony nodded his head.
"Wanda, can you make huge fireballs and throw at the symbiotes from afar?"
"I can try."
"Good. We will do that. He has too huge of an army to kill in normal standards. Since he has a galactic size army, I will throw planets at him."
Both Wanda and John flew towards the stratosphere to get a good view of how huge the sizes should be while throwing. Of course, Wanda had a breathing vibranium suit, which Tony brought for all. All the suits were airtight and had the vibrational properties so it was best for facing Knull and his symbiotes.
In a second they reached the stratosphere with the help of teleportation. When they reached there, they could see the huge horde of wriggling symbiotes. It was massive and it had already stopped the sun rays from coming to Earth. It was terrifying to say the least.
"Wanda makes as many huge fire balls as possible. I will do that too." Wanda nodded.
And the next moment, Knull saw something that almost gave him a scare. 20 to 30 fireballs appeared suddenly out of nowhere over the symbiotes.
The number wasn't the problem, their size was.
Each of them was the size of planet Earth as they were falling on the symbiotes from all sides.
