Ch: 243 [The final battle has begun..]


    Meanwhile, Gctus has tracked down Knull and ording to the deal, he was going to absorb half of Knull''s power. He could sense Knull''s energy and was surprised to see how far the ancient God had fallen. Still, he couldn''t help but relish the opportunity to remind Knull of his insignificance.


    "So, this is what remains of the mighty God of the dark void? Pathetic!" Gctus said as he materialized his energy avatar in front of Knull''s domain. He ripped apart the fabric of the space and grabbed Knull''s entire domain which looked like a puny marble and brought it out of the abyss. The symbiote rushed toward Gctus but a st of cosmic energy turned them to nothingness.


    Knull sneered, his sharp teeth glinting as he rose from his throne, the Necrosword in hand. "Gctus," he hissed, his voice dripping with venom as he blinked out of the giant mass of darkness. "You are nothing but a parasite, devouring worlds to feed your insatiable hunger. HOW DARE A MERE PARASITE STAND BEFORE ME!!!???"


    Knull''s voice boomed, his hatred of Gctus spilling forth.


    Knull wasted no time. He raised his arms, and the darkness around him swelled, coalescing into a massive, living tide of symbiotes. The writhing mass surged toward Gctus, seeking to engulf him.


    But Gctus merely raised a hand. A surge of cosmic energy erupted from his palm, vaporizing the swarm in an instant. The light was so intense that it carved through the void, leaving a glowing fissure in its wake.


    "You think your pets can harm me?" Gctus rumbled. "Foolish godling."


    Knull snarled, his tendrilsshing out like spears. They struck Gctus''s energy construct but disintegrated upon contact. Undeterred, Knull charged, wielding the Necrosword with both hands. The ancient de, forged from primordial darkness, had felled gods before, and Knull aimed to do so again.


    The Necrosword sang as it shed through the void, its edge a blur of pure malice. But as it neared Gctus, the energy surrounding the Devourer red, creating a barrier that halted the de mid-swing. Sparks of ck and gold energy erupted from the sh, illuminating the dark space.


    Knull growled, his strength faltering as the Necrosword strained against Gctus''s cosmic might. "You cannot resist the power of the Abyss!" he roared, pouring all his energy into the strike.


    Gctus''s expression remained impassive. "Weak and pathetic."


    With a wave of his hand, Gctus unleashed a shockwave that sent Knull hurtling backward. The god of the symbiotes mmed into the jagged surface of a dead, the force of the impact fracturing its crust.


    Knull rose, his form now crackling with renewed fury. He raised the Necrosword and channeled its energy, summoning a wave of darkness that swept across the battlefield. This wasn''t mere symbiote matter—it was the raw essence of the Abyss, a force that devoured light and life indiscriminately.


    Gctus remained unmoved. With a deep breath, he absorbed the iing darkness into the energy avatar, the swirling energy of his being burning it away.


    "You are weak, Knull," Gctus said, his voiceced with disdain. "Even at your peak, you could not hope to stand against me. And now, you are but a shadow of your former self."


    Knull roared in frustration andunched himself at Gctus, but he grabbed Knull with his giant hands.


    "Enough. Struggle is futile. I will now devour half of your power," Gctus said as he absorbed half of Knull''s power. "I''ll leave you some energy so that you can serve your purpose."


    As soon as Knull''s power was absorbed, Gctus threw him back into the depths of the Abyss before disappearing.


    "Damn you!" Knull screamed, his voice echoing through the void.


    The darkness began to writhe around him, and he summoned his minions with a wave of his hand.


    Knull clenched his fist, his dark eyes shing with anger. "Make haste toward Earth. I must get that hybrid at any cost. Then, we''ll see who is weak!"


    His minions surged forward, eager to please their master. The entire host of the darkness began to move toward Earth.


    ...


    Back on Earth.


    Thanos''s army had already reached the Sr System and was on a course for Earth. Knull also has reached the sr system. Both of them raced for the blue. Thanos wants the Infinity Stones while Knull wants the celestial hybrid with All Immunity power. Although they were at their half-power, still both of them were very dangerous.


    Peter sensed the iing enemies and immediately contacted the heroes, "Everyone!! It''s time! We have iing enemies!!"


    After Gctus withdrew from the battle, they changed their n a bit. Peter and Wanda will fight Knull while the rest of the Hereos will fight Thanos and his army while protecting the Infinity Stones.


    "You ready?" Peter asked Wanda as he grabbed her hand.


    She nodded as her eyes shed with determination, "I am ready."


    They wanted to say goodbyes to their loved ones because anything could happen in a battle as big as this, but there was no time. The Watcher said it would take one week, but due to Gctus taking action, the events changed again. Instead of one week, they barely had one hour. And they spent that time double-checking the magic barriers and defenses.


    Wanda and Peter, both wore ancient armor imbued with runes and magic. Although Peter can survive in space thanks to his celestial genes, Wanda can''t. So, they used magic to make her resistant to space and radiation.


    Peter''s armor waspletely ck while Wanda''s was mostly red. They both looked very intimidating.


    "Any regrets?" He asked.


    "I wish we had enough time for a threesome." She joked.


    "Hahahahaha! Let''s make sure that we survive this so that we can do it after we defeat them," Peter replied.


    Wandaughed, "I''ll hold you on that."


    "I''m sure you will."


    After the short conversation, Peter used his celestial form and teleported into space, holding Wanda''s hand. Thanos''s army flew past them without even noticing them. There were hundreds of ships and they all were heading for Earth. As much as they wanted to destroy his army, they had bigger fish to fry.


    After Thanos''s army passed...


    A massive dark-like mass appeared. It pulsed as if alive, and a chilling grumbling of the symbiote echoed across the void. Knull emerged, standing atop the dark mass with the Necrosword in hand, his pale, skeletal visage twisted in rage. His eyes burned with malice as he took in Peter''s celestial form and Wanda at his side.


    "The hybrid," Knull sneered, his voice carrying a venomous edge. "Atst, you stand before me. You will not escape."


    Peter snorted, unimpressed by Knull''s disy. "You know, I really don''t understand why viins always like to do this monologuing thing. Let''s just get it over with."


    Without further words, Knull raised his hand,manding his army to surge forward. Thousands of symbiotic creatures, varying in size and grotesque shapes, burst forth, racing toward Peter and Wanda like a tidal wave of living darkness. Their screeches filled the void, a cacophony of chaos and malice.


    Wanda''s eyes glowed crimson as she unleashed a wave of chaos magic. "Let''s even the odds," she said, her voice steady despite the overwhelming horde. With a flick of her wrist, she conjured a barrier of crimson light, incinerating the first wave of attackers.


    Peter released her hand and stepped forward, his celestial energy igniting like a sr re. "I''ll clear a path. Stick close." He extended his hand, and a pulse of golden energy erupted outward, vaporizing hundreds of symbiotes in an instant.


    Knull observed the destruction with disdain but remained undeterred. Raising the Necrosword high, he unleashed a torrent of darkness that coiled and twisted into monstrous tendrils, each aimed directly at Peter and Wanda.
