"But I don't think the general public likes us very much. What did the Council say?"

"Council doesn't even know that you are here. The governments has stopped meddling in all of our affairs now. There is an influence of them but they don't push their agenda any more as fiercely as before. Shutting off the sun has awakened the fear of God in many of them. Some of them reach high positions mostly because they can intimidate people well and are cruel. You have done the same thing but on a larger scale. Taking away the powers and saying such terrifying stuff has made them step back a bit."

"Hmm... Glad that they have some sense in them, or else I wouldn't mind infusing more fear onto them."

Fury got chills in his spines when he heard that. He actually didn't say another reason for why the Avengers were friendly now. It was fear.

Fear of John and their team had made them think twice of every decision. Even Captain America who normally speaks of fearlessness, didn't speak out when it was decided that the John's Avengers would not be treated with hostility. Sure, they had Sentry and other super beings, but on the other side they had someone who had full control over Phoenix Force, one of the Primary Gods.

One uncontrolled Jean was more than enough for them. They didn't want more problems from a potential ally. Especially now, when Knull was coming. They would need all the help they need.

"Avengers of both teams. I have some grievous news for all of you...."

John, out of nowhere, spoke out. His voice was not so loud but it magically resonated in the ears of everybody clearly. John proceeded to tell of the bigger problem at hand and the enemy had the Negative Zone under their hands. This was new information and not all of the Avengers were up to date with it.

Heck!! Even some of them had no idea what Negative Zone was and Reed had to come and explain what it was as he was the first person to go to their dimension and come back alive.

"So we have a bigger headache?" Eddie came with a glass of red wine in his hand after John and others made all of the people be up to date with all the problems they were going to face.

"Yep."

As they were talking Venom came out by itself and said

"There must be something for him to ally himself to another army."

"Do you think there is something else going on"

"I connected to the hive passively for a few seconds to look into his plan, and I can already see his aftermath and destruction he has been causing around while arriving here. Klyntar has amassed a huge army of symbiotes. From almost all generations. The ones like me are hiding and they don't dare to come out and connect themselves to the Hive. Knull has too much pride to ally himself with anybody."

"So what are you trying to say?" Wayne joined in when he saw Eddie talking with John.

"I am saying that he must be fearing something as he had allied himself to others."

"He didn't ally himself, he took over the Negative Zone." John corrected Venom.

"Same thing. Knull will still never use others as hosts and try to gain greater power to take over other things. There must be something for him to wake up this fast and try to take over everything in a hurried manner."

"So you feel he has other fears and is running from something? Why would the God of Darkness have fear? He has Celestials under him."

"No idea but I think you all should be ready to see his desperate nature. He has been in prison for quite a long time. He won't take this incursion lightly. Especially on the planet who proved to be his doom."

"Hmm. I will face him head on. The people of this Earth don't deserve to see an ugly war. Fury, does this Earth have bunkers?" Wayne asked while turning to Fury.

"After the Shia-Kree war, we have designed bunkers in all major cities. Do you want us to evacuate New York?"

"Yes. Do it. We only have 2 days, if my estimation is correct." It was Venom who replied to the words of Fury. Yesterday he connected to Hive for a few seconds to see the situation. It was dangerous but he still did it as he needed to see the situation. Connecting to Hive might mean under the control of Knull so he needed to get out of it fast.

Fury looked at other Avengers for approval. Seeing that all the major players nodded their heads at it, said

"The Council will not be happy about this."
