Chapter 551: Dylan
"This is unexpected."
"See I always told you that this Peter was tasty. Now you believe me." Venom spoke out when they came to know that Peter Parker was Spiderman. Venom had always said there was something wrong with Peter but he never paid attention. Parker was his close friend and colleague.
Eddie felt betrayed a bit now. His identity was always known to the Avengers, but there nobody knew the identity of Spiderman.
"What a betrayal." Eddie gritted his teeth when he said that.
"Anyway, let's leave Peter. Did you train Dylan?" John asked. Eddie's eyes changed when John mentioned his son.
"Keep my son out of this." Eddie said in a very stern tone.
"I know that you love him, Eddie and you want to protect him. But he will be our spear against Knull." John said.
"My son? Are you crazy.. He is just a kid with no powers." Eddie almost roared as he said that.
"Are you sure that your son has no powers?" John asked while his eyebrows were raised. He was sure that Eddie must have seen something in his son. Even if he didn't see, Venom must have surely detected something.
"I don't know...." Eddie stopped right when he was about to say something. His eyes suddenly went wide. It was because he heard in his head what venom said. He couldn't believe it.
His son had powers.
"What the hell do you mean my son has powers?" Eddie roared out again. And this time not at John but at Venom.
Venom, who had receded back, came out again with a little troubled expression. He never wanted to expose the power of Dylan to others. This was a decision of the good members of the Hive. Dylan was a ace they had hidden, but John here just blurted everything out.
"You son has the power to terminate a symbiote from its host, which means he has the power to terminate the relation between Knull and his control of Hive. I didn't tell you because it was decided by the symbiotes of Klyntar when they saw the emergence of Carnage and they used special means to give this power to Dylan." Venom said as he admitted the truth.
"Are you fucking kidding me? My son? How dare they? Have I not served the good with you. My wife committed suicide. I have a miserable life. I don't want any of the symbiote species to touch my son." Eddie was seething when he said that.
"It is what it is, Eddie." John said with a sigh. Sometimes, even if somebody wanted to stop destiny, some people were too powerless to stop it.
"No, I don't want my son to do anything with it." Eddie said with determination. John could see this and sighed.
"The story is as I thought. We can think about Dylan later." John thought.
"How many days do we have till Knull reaches here?" John asked.
"15 days give or take." Eddie said.
"Hmm.. Have the Avengers been notified?" John asked.
"Not yet." Eddie shook his head.
"Go tell the Avengers. And tell the X-men too. Tell them that John Jameson asked for help. I think that carries weight for them as they owe me one." John said.
"Will the Avengers come and help us knowing that your Avengers will get involved?" Eddie was skeptical. He knew what kind of problems he had caused for the Avengers. Even Doom was dead.
"If they don't want to be under the foot of Knull then they can just die for all I care. And if you don't want to die as an old man then do what I say." John said as he remembered the ending of Knull. Eddie aged in 2 days after he became their king.
"Will you really help us?" Eddie asked. He had called John because Venom forced him too. Or else he would have decided to handle Knull alone with the Avengers.
"I have said, he is a threat to the multiverse. Knull has Celestials under him. Do you think it will be that easy to defeat him? I care about the multiverse." John eyes him when he said that as he got irritated by seeing the constant distrust of Eddie.
"He has Celestials..." Eddie mumbled under his breath hearing that. he couldn't believe that Knull had Celestials under him.
"Now go. Be the messenger. I will prepare my team. I will come back in 10 days." John said as he vanished without saying goodbye. He really needed to do preparations.
He had a strong premonition. The attack of Knull wouldn't be as simple as in the comics. He had tried looking into possible futures with Knull but in no way he was able to see how the fight would take place.
"Annihilius.. Knull... Both emerged at the same time. Did they make some kind of pact?" John thought.
