Chapter 548: Eddie

"I need to leave." John said and without giving any explanation he vanished from his spot. The other Avengers were in a happy mood for a few seconds. They wanted to see the argument between Clark and John about morals.

Though the Avengers killed people but it had always killed enemies, never normal lives of humans. This was the first time that something like this happened. John had his reasons and none of the Avengers would hold him accountable for what he had done. Though in 616 many people died, it was on the shoulders of the heroes there.

Though Clark showed a tough side and was sad that John had killed he would just make sure John didn't go down the wrong path. Killing has always been something he had avoided. But the sudden change of face and doing the vanishing act changed the whole mood of the room.

"What was it?" Diana asked.

Banner who sat beside John before he vanished shook his head. He only got to see a cracked wooden plate and he didn't even know what that meant.

"Seems like something is serious." Wayne said, They all waited patiently for John.

Earth 616

John was back at the place where he didn't like much. This place was one of those places where the people wouldn't welcome him much. Especially the superheroes here. But John was here to meet someone who he had met long before. John used his omniscience to search for Venom and Eddie.

He was surprised to see that he was underground.

"This is interesting."

John vanished again from the top of the Empire State Building and was in a small corridor. It looked dark and damp. It smelled like garbage and foul water.

John was right. Because it was one of the underground tunnels. It was filthy and smelt like rot.John levitated as he moved forward. He wouldn't like his boots to be soiled in this damned thing.

Soon he reached a huge metal door. The door looked like the ones that are built in nuclear shelters. With heavy casing and a huge knob. John waved his hand and in the next moment the door slowly opened in itself. Making aloud noise that echoed on the tunnels.

"Yeah. I should have used the Parseltongue. Would have been more cool. A scar on my forehead and glasses would have done the trick for sure." John thought reminiscing on one of his favorite movies.

The door opened and John walked in. It was a huge room with a very high ceiling. It had a huge skylight right at the center of the ceiling. It was astonishing that such a place ever existed underground in New York.

But it wasn't the highlight of the room. The main attraction was what was located at the center of the huge hall. There was a huge Iron throne-like chair at the center. The main difference between the iron throne and this chair was that the chair was red in color.

The chair looked like a tree as veins of reds flowed outward from the chair and grew on the walls and the floors of the huge hall. One vein from the chair even grew and broke the skylight.

The chair really looked like a tree.

And looking at the chair was a man. He had a strong built body, like the ones of Captain America. And like Steve he too had blonde hair. But this blonde hair was long and the man had tied his hair.

"Eddie. First time meeting you." John called out as he started walking towards him. Eddie didn't turn head to look at John. he continued looking at the chair. He had already heard the door opening but he didn't even care who walked in.

"That is false. You controlled my destiny all this time even though we never met. It's not a good feeling of being manipulated by a person who never cared about showing up after giving away something that you can't hold on to." Eddie said. John didn't expect such an answer from Eddie.

It was true that he had manipulated the timeline a bit and gave away venom to him, but that was the only thing he could do at that time. Many things went out of his control so he needed to keep some cards close to his chest.

And Knull was too much of a problem to be faced alone. He needed allies. And venom was the only one who could get inside the Hive.

"I can understand why you don't like me. I am responsible for many problems in your world. The depowering of Avengers. The chaos. The deaths. But I had no other choice but to do that. This world had grown too arrogant and they needed a slap on their faces to wake up. That time it was just Wanda. There was a rift between Avengers and X-men and I needed them to close the gap."
