And so the fight ensued, between someone who was obsessed with finding the answer and someone who had no idea what it was. John and Knull clashed again. And this time with more intensity. The last time, Knull was thrown back by a surprise attack, but not any more.

As John tried to use the same move again, thinking he had three more swords to stab him, he saw All-Black wriggling like a live sword and a black, sharp-pointed object coming out of its own volition to stop the sneak attack on its master.

After all, All-Black was a symbiote, the first symbiote.

Thus, the fight now had more twists and turns as John, in the form of Four Arms, fought with four swords in his hands while Knull had his live sword to stop the four swords of John. All Black was so powerful that it even broke two swords from Johns both. Not that it mattered, as it could easily be remade from his vault.

But it was still horrifying to think that the All-Black had that much power. The fight went on, as various parties were doing their jobs. But even then it could be easily seen that the symbiotes were proving to be very hard for them to stop as they were trying to approach John, who was fighting against Knull.

The galactic size of the horde of symbiotes proved too difficult for a small number of people in the end. And on top of it all, the symbiotes were now traveling to Earth at a good pace. As they reached Pluto, the symbiotes covered the whole planet with themselves.

Making the whole black in color. It was horrifying to see In the comics too, it happened the same, but seeing it in reality was a totally different matter. The planet looked like it was made of something black, and if one paid good attention to it, they could see that the black color was moving. It took only a few minutes to cover the cold planet, and its cold temperature didn't even faze the symbiotes.

This was the power of millions of symbiotes that could easily destroy a galaxy. The symbiotes marched forward as they tried their best to stop and kill as many as possible before they could reach Earth.

John and Knull fought at extreme speed, and for the first time it was known that Knull was even good at sword fighting. It was fortunate that John had learned sword fighting from Gil; otherwise, it would have been utterly painful for him.

He could heal for sure, but he liked pain.

"John, they will be reaching Earth soon."

That communication came over to John as he fought. It didn't even take an hour for the symbiotes to reach Earth after decimating the other planets in the solar system just because they were in the way. Of course the symbiotes left Jupiter and other very hot planets as they were not fans of heat, but the bugs who had anti-symbiote armor were a whole different story. They didn't fear anything and just destroyed everything, even things that were of no use to them.

All of this happened because Knull wanted answers, and he had gone a little over the top.

"I understand. Use the broken spaceships to light up these bastards." John said by using telepathy on the minds of the Avengers who were in New York.

"Oh, that is for sure."

As this was happening at the edges of the solar system, the Avengers were having a tough time even trying to imagine how these symbiotes and bugs were decimating everything. This was utter destruction.

"After the war, we will still lose. He has tilted the balance of the system, and our Earth would just descend into destruction soon no matter what." Beast said.

"Don't worry about that; John will change the reality to make it just like before. All we need to do is stop this Knull." Diana said this nonchalantly, as all of the Avengers knew he had reality-bending powers.

"He really can do everything he wishes. It is ridiculous." One of the 616 Avengers mumbled.

The others didn't pay much attention, and most of them were relieved to hear that.

"Not everything. This knife is too terrifying. Are the spaceships ready? How much more time do we have, Victor?" Steve asked

"The first impact will be in 5 minutes. I will advise each of you to take up battle locations and not be far from each other. If one is devoured by a symbiote, there will be a special signal. The other nearest person should do anything possible to blast the symbiote away by using the tools provided. One lost member would mean one extra enemy. The other person would not be dead, but he would be like a zombie, hunting us."
