Chapter 1

HELLO EVERYBODY! Zayden StormVoid here with a new story that WE have been in the works on. If you haven't read my other story, The New Titans: Fall of Olympus, which WE recommend for any Percy Jackson Betrayal story lovers, WE shall elaborate as to the purpose of this story. You will find out why I'm saying WE so much in the 15th chapter.

I love many series of fanfictions, but the harem, lemon, conquering stories always captured my attention, and now I have created my own, with the main character being Peter Parker aka: Spider-Man. I have created this story out of inspiration from the new character introduced in the Marvel Comic Universe known as Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, Lord of the Abyss, born before creation, and creator of the God-Slayer. Oops spoilers, sorry. Anyways, this character expanded the Venom mythos and brings to light, ironically, many interesting possibilities for the Symbiotes, including how they would reign under a new king, a new god.

In this story, I will have Spider-Man obtain the Venom symbiote once again, but with certain changes to it thanks to Knull. He will become the next God of the Symbiote and the new king. Of course to have him as the king, Knull must die and, sadly, he will, but with a spectacular way to go. Also Eddie Brock, Venom, must also die for the symbiote to be Peter's, but he will get his own farewell. Sorry for all you Eddie Brock lovers. Anyways, Spider-Man, with the symbiote, will conquer the Marvel, and perhaps the DC, Universe. He will turn heroes and villains to his side, kill others, and have some fun along the way. BE WARNED though, if you don't like certain instances of rape, harems, and popular heroes to die or become symbiotes and are the faint of heart, than this story is not for you.

I also have inspiration from the new Venom movie coming out, the Venomverse comic series, and the Spider-Man game: Web of Shadows. I also want to give credit to where credit is due and I have to thank Adris Quinones, from the Youtube channel Variant Comics (watch it, it is good), for helping explain more of the story of Knull and clarifying unknowingly a few questions i had abut him. Also, as a warning some female heroes could be excluded from the Spidy harem for either realistic or selfish reasons. Such characters may include Squirrel Girl, Madame Hydra, Iron Heart, Betty Brant, and more. They could be because I may not like the characters, I think they are too young, or because I will pair them with other turn heroes. Also, this will take in the Comic Universe so events may be hazy and confusing and some characters may be dead or gone for now, but I will seek to make this as good as possible.

Also, for anybody that may ask, Flash Thompson, or Agent Venom or Agent Anti-Venom, will NOT be in this story, maybe. Why? Because he is dead! He recently died in the comics and spoilers for any who haven't read the comic as of late. But I will have overlook that if you guys want and will be pulling characters from across the multiverse. I will also be putting the Fantastic Four in this as they are coming back but in this universe Reed and Susan don't have kids, and you will see why. This chapter will just be the prelude to the story and won't have any lemons so don't expect much. This story is generally a Marvel Story than a Spider-Man story, because of the fact that multiple Marvel characters will be in it and will have mentions of the recent Marvel Comics.

Enough with talking let us begin with the beginning and kick things off. Remember, I don't own Marvel comics or any Marvel properties, this is not canon and only serves to entertain us.

But anyways, LET"S BEGIN!

Prelude to Darkness

Spider-Man's POV

Just when I thought things in my life couldn't get anymore weird, I jinked it and here I am now. Fighting a giant, black, gooey, symbiote monster that is currently destroying Manhattan. But I guess the life of your friendly, neighborhood superhero.

Hi my name is Peter Parker, and I am the Spider-Man. I use to be your ordinary, average, high school nerd in New York. Then everything changed on one field trip. I got bit by a genetically-enhanced, radioactive spider, got spider-like powers, no longer needed glasses, and things felt as if things were looking up. Then my Uncle Ben died, leaving just me and my Aunt, alone and struggling to live. I learned how to use these powers for good and became Spider-Man.

But you guys know this already. Let me tell you something new.

I'm no longer a multi-millionaire. Parker Industries was destroyed with the help of the man who created it:Doctor Octopus. He lashed out at me a tried to destroy and publicly shame me, I both stopped him and failed to stop him. My business is gone, I'm back to being a photographer, and I'm back to wearing the good old red and blue, not technically-advance Spider-Man suit. One of my best friends, Flash Thompson, or Agent Anti-Venom, is dead. Killed by a Carnage symbiote-infused Green Goblin. I stopped him with the symbiote for a time before giving back to Brock. I then saved my best friend's, Harry Osborn's, son from the Carnage symbiote, as well as a bunch of other people. Also, my boss, the infamous J. Jonah Jameson, he now knows I'm Spider-Man. I know, shocker. Well not Shocker the villain, but more, you know, quite a shock. Sorry, rambling, moving on. Anyways, I told him my secret and he agreed to keep it a secret, as long as I keep fighting the good fight. Nice to make things up with the old man.

But the true news that happened to me was devastating. My Aunt May, the last member of my family, is dead. When I found out, when I found her broken, lifeless body in the shambles of her home, it broke me. I felt truly and utterly alone.

But what killed her? What took this wonderful woman of my life away from me? It was the creature I'm fighting now.

I'm currently web slinging through buildings, falling debris, and Symbiote tentacles in Manhattan. The creature in question was Ginormous! He was as tall as the Empire State Building, colored in the signature black of Symbiotes, with red lines tracing along the massive body. The creature had no legs, merely a giant mass of body of tentacles spreading across the ground. Multiple arms were around the creature's body, with it two main arms being large, midnight black, and bulky, it clawed hands menacing and sharp. Multiple heads poked and stretched across the creatures body, the heads round like skull, red vein-like lines created a circle on its blank, black face, and their red mouths filled with rows of razor sharp teeth. It had giant black wings that resembled a bat's. In its hand was a massive, long, blood red and black sword, slashing at surrounding buildings. It's face, however, was the most hideous part of the creature. It was the face of a man, a pale, thin face, bloody red eyes, a hideous, wide smile, and long ragged white hair like a mop.

This creature of primordial force is known as Knull: God of the Symbiotes, Lord of the Abyss. In its hand was the terrifying weapon that he created during creation known as All-Black the Necrosword, the God-Slayer. Preciously picked from the dead body of Ego, the Living Planet.

Knull is but another monstrous villain that just wants to destroy everything and yadi yada yada. He has apparently been trapped inside the Planet Klyntar, which we now know is actually a cage made entirely of Symbiotes to trap the godly being. Now he's out and he's angry. He went to find his sword and clashed with the Necrosword-powered Ego, a fight that lit the sky while the heroes and I fought against his brain washed symbiote army. After defeating Ego, which I found still unbelievable, we all joined to fight Knull and his army. We were buying time for the newly found Fantastic Four and Iron Man to go with the plan. The plan being a series of sound cannons, super-heated lasers, and explosives full of Cosmic Energy gathered from Ego's remnants and Miles Morales, the Ultimate Spider-Man, generating tons of his Venom Blasts into the explosives as they seem to work. All the weaknesses of Symbiotes and the only possible way of defeating Knull. The only problem? Knull figured it out. He was lumbering towards the Baxter Building, sending hordes of Symbiote minions, by air and land, ahead to stop them.

I swung by from building to building, punching and knocking Symbiotes away as fast as possible. I saw the flying and artillery heroes focusing on the Symbiotes that were flying, swinging, or crawling towards the Baxter Building. As for the more hand to hand combatants of the heroes, I saw them taking the fight to the rest. I saw S.H.E.I.L.D and military agents joining the fight As for our heaviest hitters, like Thor Odinson, Captain Marvel, Hercules, and more, they had the job of keeping Knull occupied. So far it wasn't going well.

As for me, I was fighting whatever I could get my hands. I was in such a rage over my Aunt's death by this monster, that I didn't care if it was flying, climbing, or crawling, I was going to destroy them. I swung toward a large group of Symbiotes and made them fly away, I shot two strings of webbing and grabbed two big ones and slammed them onto the ground.I then spun them like a top, knocking other Symbiotes away and then slammed them on the ground with such force the ground cracked. I punched, kicked, and blinded, and ripped apart every Symbiote that came at me.

But even with everyone's efforts, they kept coming and Knull was moving fast. I swung to the Baxter Building to meet with Reed, Susan, and Tony. I arrived there to find both Hawkeyes firing arrow after arrow at Symbiotes, the Winter Soilder firing and switching between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle. I saw Reed and Susan typing away at numbers on holographic screens, Miles with his hands on a weird looking generator, his hands sparking and looking visibly tired. I saw Tony Stark in his suit calculating numbers and moving machines around with some fancy looking glove. I also saw Eddie Brock strapped to a table, wires connected to him, with his Symbiote around his body and spasming and shrieking uncontrollably.

I said "Hey Mr. Stark, things aren't looking good. Knull headed here super fast and the Symbiotes just keep coming! Is it ready?!"

Iron Man replied "Not yet Spidey. The Sound Cannons are operational and the Solar Blasters are nearly done charging, but the Cosmic Energy is becoming to chaotic and won't calm down. Plus we are trying to analyze the Symbiotes's system for Knull's weakpoints! Rocket! What's going on in there?!"

The raccoon Guardian of the Galaxy popped up from a machine and yelled out "WHAT DO THINK I'M DOING TIN MAN?! I'M TRYING TO CHARGE UP THE MALINA'S POWERCORE TO THE GENERATOR AND PROCESS CELESTIAL BRAIN JUICE FROM A DEAD PLANET WITH THAT BLACK GUNK SCREAMING IT LUNGS OFF! HAVE YOU TRIED SUCKING OUT A PLANET'S BRAIN WITHOUT ACCIDENTALLY CAUSING A MELTDOWN THAT WILL BLOWN THE CITY SKY HIGH WHILE A BLACK ALIEN IS SHRIEKING LIKE A BANSHEE, BECAUSE YOU ARE WELCOME TO TRY!"

"Is there any way to slow Knull down now?! Otherwise, he will be here in one minute!" I said with panic.

Rocket responded with "We could jam this Celestial Grenade I made, charged with Anullax Batteries, that could slow Knull a bit, but to work someone will have to enter his body, jam it into his heart, and pressed the trigger!"

I thought it for a second and said "What would happen then?!"

Rocket said "It will explode and wreck havoc and his nervous system, but the person that sets it off will be blown to smithereens!"

I thought it for a second and I said "Give me that grenade! I'll go in and try to blast him to pieces!"

Eddie heard and shouted "PETER NO! Let me do it! This is happening because of me and my Symbiote, we gave him the information on Ego and we were the reason he is here on Earth! Let us take the fall!"

I shouted back "THAT BASTARD TOOK MY AUNT AWAY FROM ME! If this thing will hurt the bastard long enough for us to win, then I will gladly give me life for this Earth! ROCKET GIVE ME THE FUCKING GRENADE!"

Rocket reached behind him and took out a basketball sized ball, with glowing energy and a button on the top. Rocket said "Hold it gently, if it collides with anything hard it will go off and blow away the city to the dust!" Rocket then gave me the bomb and I said "Thanks." Rocket said back "Don't you die on us bug boy. We have lost many people, we can't afford to lose another hero."

I smiled and nodded at the raccoon and swung away, hearing Eddie Shout out "WAIT, PETER!"

I swung fast to Knull, careful not to swing towards a Symbiote or debris. Knull tensed and looked right at me and shouted out "THE SPIDER! DO NOT LET HIM ANY CLOSER TO ME, MY CHILDREN!"

Suddenly, the whole Symbiote army started towards me. I swung and dodged the horde of Symbiotes but was getting tired and they were growing in numbers. As a whole wave of Symbiotes was about to crash onto me, thunder sounded and the Symbotes were blasted away in a crackling blast of lighting. I saw Thor floating there, his new golden arm swinging his equally golden hammer.

"Thanks Thor!" I shouted out.

Thor called back "Fare thee well, Man of Spiders, I hope to see you at the gates of Valhalla!"

I swung faster towards Knull, wanting to waste no time in killing the bastard. Knull noticed and raised his Necrosword high into the air and prepared to swing it. I stared at the monstrous sword and it seemed that if stciked where I was, it could easily reach the Baxter Building. Knull swung the sword but before it could reach far, a glowing bright light zoom towards the sword and stopped it. It shown to be Captain Marvel, now holding the sword with visible struggle in her face.

I said "Thank you Carol, hold off so I can finish him."

Captain Marvel replied "Just don't die on us Spider-Man. The world can't afford another great hero dead."

I smiled at that and as fast as I could. Knull raised his hand before it was grabbed and held down by Amadeus Cho, or the Hulk, and Hercules. "Hurry, Spider Warrior, we cannot hold him for long!"

I stopped and then created a web sling to launch myself like a rocket towards Knull's chest. As I launched at high speeds and was about to reach Knull's chest, a mass of black collided with me and I was thrown of course. I found myself tied on the roof of a nearby building, the instrument of my capture being a black web. I looked up to find the person who trapped me being Eddie Brock, his Venom suit on and the Cosmic Grenade in his hand.

I shouted out "WHAT THE HELL BROCK?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Venom replied "We have caussssed enough trouble. We have killed and hurt people in rage, we have caussssed numeroussss problemssss for thissss world and for the people we call friendssss. You have ssssuffered enough from our mistakes, let usss help fix them thissss time."

Venom, with the Grenade in hand, swung away and towards Knull. I screamed out "NO WAIT STOP, EDDIE!"

Venom swung and dived into Knull's chest and sank into the chest like it was a sea of black. Knull struggled and lifted his arm sending Cho and Hercules flying, and did the same with Captain Marvel. Knull was about to swing his sword at the Baxter Building again but he stopped and lowered the sword to the side. He clutched his chest in pain and growled. He started roaring in pain and his black figure started to convulse and move in pain. He opened his mouth and a it glowed like a fire was going off in his body and I realized that Venom did it. He set off the Grenade, with him still inside.

I then heard, through my commset in my ear, Iron Man saying "IT'S READY! ALL HEROES, RETREAT FROM THE BLAST ZONE IMMEDIATELY!"

I struggled against the black webbing before I saw Spider-Woman swing towards me and helped remove the webbing off me. She shouted "RUN!" We both ran and swung our way as far as possible, my Spidey Sense ringing like crazy. I turned in time to see the show. The weaponry fired upon Knull and he yelled out in pain so loud that the earth shook. Then a giant explosion occurred and me and Spider-Woman hid from the blast. Smoke flew everywhere, I heard glass shatter and buildings rumble. I heard the screams and wails of Symbiotes as I heard the Sound Cannons fire and the roars of the flames. My vision was colored black and gray, the smoke clouding my sight. But soon the smoke cleared and I turned to see what had occurred. There was a giant crater in where Knull was standing, no sign of the Symbiote God anywhere. The Symbiote army was sprawled everywhere, their bodies limp and unmoving. I tapped into my Spidey Sense but felt no ringing, no danger present. We won.

I heard Tony Stark call out "*Cough* Is everybody alright? Report in!"

"Captain America here, I'm alright." Cap said through the commset.

"I am alright here, a little banged up but my good." Carol said.

Multiple heroes signed off they were alright, including Jessica beside me.

I called out "Spider-Man here, and bruises aside, I'm good."

Susan Storm called out through the comms "Spidey?! Oh god, your alive, but how? How did you survive the blast?!"

I replied in a sad tone "Easy, I didn't went inside Knull. I didn't set the Grenade out. It was Venom. Brock sacrificed himself. He's dead, I'm sure of it." I received silence. I could tell they were shocked and probably upset. Venom wasn't always the best and brightest of what heroes were supposed to be but he was a hero nonetheless.

I then heard a violent ringing and felt something through my Spider Sense. I focused on it and traced it to the crater. I called it in saying "Wait a minute. Somethings wrong. My Spider Sense is going crazy, I'll take a look."

"Wait Spider-Man." Cap said. "Wait for backup, we will be right there."

I swung anyway, not really listening and went to investigate. As I arrived to the crater, it was still smoking and hot from the recent explosion. I approached closer as the smoke was clearing. I squinted to see and I found something. Venom, he was lying on his side, scratches all over the body and looked like the Symbiote wasn't moving either. I called in my comms saying "This is Spidey. I'm right at the crater."

Captain America called out "What do you see, son."

I said "It's Venom. His body looks banged up, I don't know if he is dead or not. I'm going in."

Captain Marvel voiced in saying "Careful Spider-Man, if there is one thing I understand about your Spider Sense is that if it rings there is trouble near. Be careful, we are almost there."

I moved carefully towards Venom's limp form. I could feel Spider-Woman standing back looking ready to strike. As I reached to Venom I tried to find a pulse in the body, see if he was alive. I found nothing and my demeanor sunk. I was bout to call it in, but suddenly I found a pulse. I grew shocked and whispered "Eddie? Venom, are you alright?" Suddenly, the Symbiote twitched.

I felt my Spider Sense tingle and was about to jump away, but not before I received an uppercut to the jaw sending me flying. "Peter!" I heard someone shout. I crashed into somebody, shaking off the blow to find myself in Captain Marvel's arms. "Carol?" I said groggy and she replied with "You alright Spidey." "I just got sent flying by a Symbiote anti-hero. Yeah I'm as right as rain." I said, my sarcastic humor always intact. I looked to where Venom was to see him fighting multiple heroes. I saw Iron Man shoot sonic repulsor blasts at Venom but he swatted Iron Man away into a building. Cap followed by tossing his trusty shield at Venom but the Symbiote anti-hero caught the shield easily and sent it back before shooting a black web at Cap. Captain America caught the shield but failed to stop the web from hitting his feet, to which venom preceded to toss Cap into another building. Iron Fist and Luke Cage charged at Venom but Brock attacked and sent them flying. Spider-Woman shot out blasts of acid on Venom but the Symbiote made a shield and launched a barrage of webs at Jessica Drew. She dodged as many as she could before one hit her and left her stuck on a wall struggling.

I composed myself as Carol dropped me off and swung into action with Captain Marvel beside me. Carol stiked first punching Venom in the face, but he shrugged it and back handed her into the side of the crater. I then hit him int he jaw slightly disoriented him before he composed himself and attacked me. I ducked and weaved my way around him, landing blow after blow with Venom lashing out wildly.

Suddenly, he stopped and started spasming out and shrieked. He clutched his head in pain and roared out. I stopped as well and said "Brock? What's up with you? What's wrong?"

Venom hissed out in pain, falling to his knees, his hands clutching his head, "He issss in my head! Dessstroyed the body...not the ssssoul! S-Ssstruggling to hold h-him!"

Venom was saying that Knull was still alive! But worse, he is inside of Venom's head!

I shouted at Brock with "Brock, you can't let him win! Block him out! Beat him back! Don't give in to the bastard!"

Venom shrieked out one more time before he his hands fell to the ground. Venom panted and the Symbiote suit revealed Eddie's face panting and sweating. I felt the heroes arriving on time, the knocked out heroes getting up and move towards me and Venom slowly.

"Brock? Is he down?" I said.

Eddie Brock breathed deeply and sighed. He said in a tired voice "Yeah, but not for much longer. He *Grunt* He is too strong, He is trying to take control of our body and mind. Only...only one way to defeat him."

I said "What is it? Brock, how can we kill him?"

Eddie looked at me, his eyes full of sadness and pleading "You have kill me."

I jumped back in shock "What?!"

Eddie said "Only way to kill him for good, is to kill me, w-with him stuck in my mind...vulnerable. H-His sword...it can kill him for good...he made it...it can kill him...but only if you kill me too." He pointed to the left and we looked to see the Necrosword, piercing the ground.

Captain America jumped in and said "We can't do that. We don't trade lives son. Just eject Knull and we will immediately strike at him."

"NO!" Eddie shouted, his eyes flashing bloody red, like Knull's. He shook his head and his eyes returned to normal. He said "Can't let him go. If given one more second out of my head, he will be back to full strength and we won't be able to stop him. Kill us, it is the only way."

Carol sighed and said "I guess we have no choice. If its for the good of the world, we will do it. You will die with honor." Carol took a step towards the sword before Iron Man grabbed her shoulder and said "What are you crazy?! We can't just kill him, there has to be another way! We are the Avengers, not executioners!"

Carol and Tony started arguing, with Cap trying to break it up. As for me, I looked into Eddie's eyes and saw how the white of his eyes was slowly turning red as he looked at me with pleading eyes. I nodded and went over to the Necrosword. As I went to it, my Spider Sense was ringing like crazy, practically telling me that I can't pick up the blade. But for once, in my long career as Spider-Man, I ignored it. This was more than saving the world from an evil primordial being, this was about revenge and honor. Knull is still alive, he killed my Aunt, he took everything from me, now I will give the same courtesy, its my responsibility to rid the universe of him. As for honor, Eddie and I may have not been the best of friends, hell we have tried to kill each other on multiple occasions, but he still a person, a hero, and he is giving his life so that we can end Knull for good. I will honor his sacrificial request for Symbiote hero and for my friend. I picked up the sword and I felt a surge of energy and power course in me. So this was the power of the God-Slayer, no wonder they named it that way.

I walked back with the sword in hand, aware of the dozens of eyes staring at me. I even saw that Cap, Tony, and Carol stopped arguing to see that I had the sword. As I reached them, Steve Rogers placed a hand on my shoulder and said "Are you sure you want to do this, son? You have never killed a person, and when you do it, it isn't something you forget. Take it from me."

I looked at the Star-Spangled hero and said "I'm sure. I have known him the longest, it should be me to say goodbye."

Cap nodded, his eyes shown understanding and sadness. He stepped away and I stood face to face with a kneeling Eddie Brock, still twitching and panting. The Symbiote was going wild and red veins were starting to cover the white. Eddie looked at me with pleading eyes and said "To think, we were the best of friends, then I blamed you for everything going wrong and I tried to kill you. We turned from friends to enemies, then to rivals, and now we are here, with you now having to kill me. Ironic."

I raised my hand to my head and I took of my mask, certain that no one was here that didn't already knew my identity. I said to Brock "You were always my best friend Eddie, my idol growing up, eve when we hated each other I never saw you any differently. Now I will give you an honorable death, a hero's death, and since you are showing your face, I'll honor you by showing mine."

Eddie gave me a forced, grateful smile, his eyes grateful and sad, filling with tears. I lifted the Necrosword and pressed it onto his chest. Eddie hissed and he started to spasm, the white of his eyes becoming bloodshot red and his teeth becoming savage. He yelled out "Pete Do It! I can't hold him any longer! He won't stop and this is the only way! Do it Pete!"

I gritted my teeth, my eyebrows frowned and my hands shook as I brought the sword back to strike. My senses were going haywire, my Spider Sense ringing like a thousands bells, memories flashed in my head of Eddie before he became Venom and memories of my Aunt May and Uncle Ben. With great power comes great responsibility. This is my responsibility. Just to it Parker! Do it for them! Do it for Eddie! For the world! For Aunt May!

Eddie shouted out one last time, his voice turning deeper and darker, "DO IT!"

I shouted out in a roar and I plunged the sword in Venom's chest. The Symbiote wailed in pain and Eddie gasped. He twitched and suddenly his eyes glowed bright red, he raised his head to the sky, and let out blood-curtaining roar. The Symbiote started to evaporate, the sword glowing red and black and sudden surge of power once again coursed through my mind, body, and soul, only this time feeling like a waterfall of power compared to the last time. Then it faded and everything went silent.

Eddie stood there in normal clothes, the sword piercing his chest and his head was limp. I removed the sword and it suddenly disintegrated, turned to ash. I caught Brock's body and looked for a pulse. I found none. The last look of Eddie Brock's face was blank white eyes, a tear flowing from his right eye, and a small grin on the left side of his face. I knelt down with his body in my arms. I felt a hand on my shoulder to find Gwen Stacy, the Spider-Woman from another Earth, looking at me with pity and sorrow. I just accepted it and titled my head down.

It was over. Knull is gone. But at a price. Today was the death of a hero. The death of Eddie Brock.

The death of Venom.

A month had passed since the Knull's defeat. Many changes happened in my life after that day. I went to my Aunt May's funeral, as well as Eddie's. Many of my friends like M.J. and Harry came to comfort me and mourn. Some came to Eddie's funeral, mostly family and heroes, but not as many as I thought. I guess when Knull first came, Venom went on a riot and attacked a few people, even raped a few women, five in total. I couldn't exactly blame Eddie for being under Knull's influence but that one was hard to ignore.

I have also decide to take a short leave of absence from the hero life and focus on working for the Daily Bulge. The heroes agreed after what I have gone through but I promised that if there was trouble, that I'm just a phone call away. But just because of my leave of absence didn't mean that I wasn't caught up in the news. I had lots of visits from friends like Harry and M.J., but I also had heroes stop by to see how I was. My visitors were mostly my female friends like Bobbie, Carol, Jessica, Gwen, Sue, even Felicia took a break from her criminal organization to visit me, which I found comforting and confusing.

They also told me of several events in the superhero world. For example, Wolverine is back. There was a race between evil syndicates and the X-Men to find the formerly dead hero, but the X-Men found him and brought him home. It will be nice to see Logan again. Also, Thanos is dead! I was beyond shocked that the greatest threat to the Avengers is now dead, by his own daughter Gamora no less. Although, something is up with her and there is a multiversal crisis involving the Infinity Stones, but the Avengers assured me that they got it. Also Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widow has also come back. Sort of. This is apparently another Black Widow from another Earth where her universe died from Dr. Doom's shenanigans. She escaped into this world and has took our dead Black Widow's place.

But the most troubling news was the Symbiotes. After Knull's defeat, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and military forces were sent to clean up the disaster and to secure the Symbiotes. Unfortunately, they all mysteriously vanished, no trace of them, even Carnage is missing. We all assumed they were dead, but multiple sightings and reports of Symbiotes have surfaced around the globe which has S.H.I.E.L.D., governments, and heroes alike scouring to find them. Some of the Guardians are currently flying to Klyntar to see if any of them are on the planet.

So far everything is quiet, too quiet.

I'm currently doing my nightly exercises on the roof of my apartment. I made the roof my own personal hidden gym, complete with punching bags, mats to stretch and lay on, and I even rigged two walls with a lead pipe for regular pull ups and balancing. I'm currently punching a punching bag lightly as to not send it flying off into the streets below. These exercises have been a great stress reliever. Especially with the headaches and nightmares I have been having. A few days after the Knull incident, I have been plauged by multiple nightmares. Some were of my Aunt dying to Knull and me having to kill Eddie, some regular guilty nightmares. But some were weird and random, like images of shadows spreading across my body, my shadow spreading out and enveloping my friends and heroes, images of the Necrosword in my hands, and, the most weirdly and disturbing, looking at myself in the mirror one minute as Spider-Man but then the next my suit is black and white and I'm sitting on a throne made of webs and shadows. All have caused me to wake up in a cold sweat. Training helps me forget, but they have been occurring more frequently and I can't help but feel they aren't just dreams, but visions.

Suddenly, an explosive occurred a few blocks away, at a nearby Oscorp Tech building. I thought that this was the best way to relieve my stress and stop some evil villainy. I quickly changed into my old red and blue Spider suit and swung off to the explosion.

I arrived to find the building on fire with civilians scrambling to find cover. I used my Spider Sense to detect any people in the building but I sensed only one person, and I bet that's the villain. I swung into the building discreetly and went to find the big bad. I crawled in quietly into an empty science lab filled with gadgets and gizmos and whatnot. The only thing out of place there was the robotic armed man. Standing by some glowing containers stood a white and green suited man, his costume closely resembling mine except his eyes were green, where the spider insignia would be placed was an image of an octopus, and there were four robotic, tentacle arms on his back. Doctor Octopus. Though he calls himself the 'Superior Octopus' nowadays but I just prefer with his old, ridiculous name.

I moved through the place quietly, knowing that even the slightest act could set off Doc's new Octo-Sense, a ripoff Spider Sense that he got from me when he created his own body after I ejected him from my head. I saw Doc Ock using his robotic arms to grab several large, blue, glowing containers that looked like energy cells. The labels on the side showed the Oscorp sign with a smaller label that read 'Project Cosmos.' Project Cosmos? What was that?

Before I had the chance to think more, I had to dive from the ceiling to get away from an incoming Octopus arm. I dodged several more attacks and tried to web Oc up but he blocked them away with own ripoff webbing except it was black and gooey. I took a defensive stand above a lab table and shouted "Oh hey Doc! Fancy running into you here. Here I thought you were busy licking your wounds after the last beat down I gave you. Tell me what does the so called 'Greatest Mind of our Time' want with those containers? Decoration?"

Doc said "Spider-Man! Always with the witty banter. My business with these Cosmic energy cells in none of your concerns! I would tell you to leave but the chance to kill you here is an added bonus!"

Doc shot his Octo-webbing at me to which a dodged and swung away. Cosmic energy cells? Where did Oscorp get those? It clicked into my head that they could have found some after we used that cosmic energy on Knull. I couldn't let Doc leave here with those. Cosmic energy in the tentacles of my most maniacal villain was a recipe for disaster.

I shot my webs and swung at Doc to strike. Doc Ock dodged my attacks and swung his tentacles arms at me. I tried dodging them all but one hit my head and sent me flying. I hit a wall where Doc proceeded to web me to it, leaving my arms and legs spread out. I struggled against the webbing before four robotic tentacles lunged and pinned my arms and legs. Doc walked closer and said "Well, well, look at this. The Itsy bitsy Spider stuck to a wall, trapped by his foe is where Little Parker will fall." The tentacles squeezed my arms, bringing pain and causing my web shooters to become crushed. "No chance to web me up this time, Young Mr. Parker."

I have many, many villains in my rogues gallery, so much that I don't think anyone else can compare. Many are annoying, dangerous, crazy, and most really serve to push my buttons, but none have messed with me more so than Doctor Octopus himself. He attacks me, tries to kill me, calls me inferior all the time, took over my body, pretended to be me, messed my life, ruined my business, and left me near broke. Now here he is, trying to kill me again. God, sometimes I just want to end him and let this be over.

Doctor Octopus then said in a smug tone "You are out of your game Spider-Man and I don't blame you. You have been through a lot these past few months. You have destroyed the business that I help create, your sister betrays you, you lost your little football pal to that infuriating Osborn, you killed your friend, and now you are alone. No parents, no uncle, no aunt. Almost poetic that your life is destroyed just as mine is. Now how about we put you out of your misery, hmm?"

Just then something snapped in me. I dam inside my mind burst and all the rage and sorrow that I has happened suddenly burst forth and sent my mind into wild, ravenous, rage. I heard I voice inside my head saying 'Yesssss, give in! Let the power flow! Arissse, Sssymbiote King and KILL thisss monssster!'

Doc brought his right arm to my neck and squeezed it and raised his left hand where a laser blade popped up from his wrist. Doc said mockingly "Oh Peter, your family is calling. They miss you so much. How about you join them?" My hands clenched and the power coursed through my body, feeling me with strength. "It has been a fun little ride for us, but here comes your stop. Goodbye Spider-Man!" As Doc raised his arm to strike, my covered, closed eyes burst open, colored black and red.

I unleashed a roar of anger and power and Doc was sent flying. I used my newfound strength to break fee from the webbing and realized what was covering my body. It was a Symbiote, a black familiar Symbiote. Venom. It spread through my body, turning my red and blue suit into an all black suit, with my Spider eyes wide and white and the Spider symbol longer, wider, and white. The transformation didn't stop there. Something started forming in my hand. It was a long, black, white, and red sword. The hilt was red and black with the grip black and steady, and the blade was 4 feet long, double edged and was black in the base and white on the edges. It was the Necrosword, recreated in my image.

I didn't know how it was there, but for now I didn't care. All I cared about was Ock. And how much I was going to make him sssuffer.

I spoke to Ock, but my voice sounded different, more deep, more powerful "What was it that you said Octavius, about it has been a fun little run for us." I pointed the sword at him and said "No it hasn't."

I started marching towards Doctor Octupus slowly, with the mad doctor stepping back in the same pace. Oct said "W-Wait, Peter. Y-You wouldn't kill me. Y-You never kill." Ock then shot his Octo-webs at me in rapid fire. But for me, they seemed to move like slugs, so I, in impossible speeds, slashed at the webs with my sword one handed, cutting them in two and leaving me untouched.

Ock panicked and said again "T-This isn't you P-Parker! You never kill. You always said that your power comes with responsibilities. W-What happened to that?!" Ock's tentacle arms reached out and grabbed multiple desk and objects and hurled them at me. My Symbiote suit lashed out and made multiple arms itself and swatted the hurling objects away, my pace towards Ock remaining.

Doc Ock backed up until he bumped into a wall, nowhere else to go. His arms launched towards me but as they approached my Smybiote copied the attack and grabbed the arms. Ock tried to pull back, it was in vain. I raised my hand towards Ock and a blast of black webbing shot from my hand and wrapped Ock in a cocoon of webbing. He struggled against it but failed. I turned my attention to the arms. Ock followed my gaze and said "NO! These cybernetic arms are implanted surgically in my back for better control and skill! If you destroy them, you could KILL ME!" I turned to Ock and said "Then you will know how it felt for me when my Aunt died. Ripped apart."

I imagined a Symbiote tentacle and it was created in an instant. I willed it to grab onto my sword and it grabbed it, leaving my hands open and ready. I grabbed one robot tentacle arm and yanked hard. Ock screamed as the arm was ripped from his body, the arm ripped out, showing me the blood and flesh that connected the back. The arm powered down and I tossed it aside. I grabbed another I crushed it, yanking it as well, causing more screaming from Ock. As I reached Ock, I grabbed my Necrosword, turned Ock around and sliced the remaining two robot arms. Ock wailed and cried in pain, while I felt invigorated, pleased, and empowered. I turned Ock around, pushed him against the wall, and raised the sword to where it poked his chest, directly as the heart.

I said to Doc Ock and said "Now this is ironic. After all these years, all the times we fought, I could have easily killed you, ripped you apart like your arms. But what kept me back was the fact that I shouldn't steep to the level of a criminal, like you, that I was better than that. But now, after witnessing my friends and family die, I see that I was a fool. That reasoning was just hesitation, one that caused me to lose my Gwen, Flash, Eddie, Uncle Ben, now Aunt May. This hesitation caused me to allow scum like you to always come back to hurt and kill innocent people, to kill those closest to me, to not have the strength and drive to do what is necessary. No more. Things are gonna change and I will recreate a world where people can no longer suffer from monsters like you, where they are empowered and risen from the shadows of weakness, where we are no longer divided, where WE ARE ONE."

Doctor Octopus, while gasping for air, just said tiredly "What makes you...think that...you could succeed. Many tried before. HYDRA...Doom...Magneto...what makes you think that...you are better."

I replied "Because I don't strive towards total world domination and control like HYDRA. I don't seek to become a master or god above everyone like Doom. And I'm no foolish fanatic like Magneto, trying to make one class of people the best or seek revenge. I seek the betterment of everyone, heroes and maybe even misguided villains. I know the heroes, I am a hero, and, unlike that Hydra Cap, I won't have to break them apart, I will rather unite them, and show them the truth and salvation. It is my responsibility, that's a promise. But for you, I'm afraid that your ride ends here."

Doc spat out "You can't do this to me! I have brilliant mind, I have more worth than anybody. You can't waste intellect like mine!"

I was about to retort another comment before I felt a new sensation in my head, like an urge to do something. I experimented on this, and, for a moment I lost control of myself, like someone else was on the wheel. My mouth moved on its own and spoke in a hissing tone "No, you can't. But don't worry, we'll take good care of that knowledge. Put it to better ussse."

My hand raised and grabbed Doc Ock by his head and I squeezed forcefully on the head. I rush went through my hand to my arm and then to the rest of my body. I felt smarter, I could feel equations and numbers running though my head, I felt new knowledge sprout from my cerebral cortex, knowledge that wasn't my own. It was then that I realized that Octavius was screaming and wailing like a madman, his body fidgeting and spasming all over. I realized that the knowledge wasn't mine, it was Octavius's. I was absorbing and recreating his knowledge as my own, like coping and downloading a system.

I stopped and Oct went limp, breathing deeply and raggedly. I shuddered at the new growth of information, but also felt like my Spider Sense doubled in potency and all my skills heightened. I also absorbed Doc's own Octo-Sense and strength. Doc said "W-what...d-did...you..d-do!"

I smiled and I willed for my mask to open and for the Symbiote to rip open Doc's face. We stared at each other and I said whispering "We made you obsolete."

I lifted the sword again to his chest and said "Goodbye, Doctor Octopus. It Hasn't been nice knowing you."

I thrust the sword into his chest, piercing his heart. I heard his gasping breath, his last breath. Doctor Octopus was dead. Finally.

I pulled the sword out letting the body limp onto the floor. The webs surrounding him vaporized in smoke and seemed to seep into me. I shrugged and swung away from the scene, looking and disposing any evidence that I was here.

I reached a building overlooking the lab, letting my new symbiote suit camouflage myself with the nightly sky. I saw how law enforcement and fire fighters reached and surrounding the building, not knowing of what they would find inside.

I looked at my new Necrosword and decided that it was time to fully realize what was happening, what I did to Doc, and how I was going to make that promise I said to Doc come true. I willed a strap or case for the sword and it was created behind my back. I sheathed the sword in its new case, and I swung way back to my home.

I don't know how this came to be, how I gained the God-Slayer and the Venom symbiote. But I do know one thing.

That We are are going to have some fun figuring it out.

And DONE! And here is the prologue to my new story Spider-King: Conquest of Shadows! I intended to be longer but this will do. Next chapter will kick start the whole shabang, and will have a lemon in it as this is a lemon/conquering story as well, so yeah it will be fun to see how this goes.

For any who are concern about my other story, The New Titans, don't worry, I will still be continuing that story, I will just create the two side by side now, for fun. This story however, will be shorter in word length than the New Titans, probably 10k at the max.

Anyways, as for the story, what did you guys think? I know it is super OCC and Dark for Peter Parker but that is what things are going to be. This is a Dark story for a Dark character with a Dark creature like the Symbiote. I will also explain how Peter got the Necrosword and the Venom Symbiote is alive and attach to Peter when Brock died. I will also cover where the Symbiotes and their importance. Also don't worry guys Stan lee and Deadpool cameos are coming. Also for the first female for Peter to bang, I am asking you guys which one you want First: Black Cat, Mary Jane, or Spider Gwen.

I know it sounds obvious and predictable that they would be the first but they are close to Peter and easier to join with him. I personally am stuck between Black Cat, as she is super hot and her connections to the criminal underworld will be a valuable asset, or Mary Jane as she is well Mary Jane and continuous love interest of Peter, but I also would do Spider Gwen as she was the very first girl that Peter loved and would make sense for her to be first.

Anyways, I will let you guys ultimately decide, review your comments and answers, and make sure to stay tuned for the next chapter of the story.

This is Zayden StormVoid and WE say, EXCELSIOR!
