Seizing the Sword!
In space, the sword's edge fell without hindrance.
The absolute hardness of the Tydan Crystal, combined with the inertia of Jiang Li pulling the tentacles.
Puff!
The cyan sword blade sliced into the black flesh and blood, breaking bones.
Knull's right arm was severed at the root.
The severed arm, along with the jet-black All-Black the Necrosword, detached from Knull's body and floated in the weightless vacuum.
"My sword!"
Knull roared, ignoring the excruciating pain of his severed arm, and slammed his left hand toward the hilt of the All-Black the Necrosword.
Swish!
Jiang Li was even faster. The gene fragments of [XLR8] flashed on his legs. He leaped into the air and, before Knull could react, gripped the hilt of the All-Black the Necrosword tightly with his left hand!
Boom!
The moment he gripped the sword hilt, a terrifying black aura of death erupted like a tsunami.
The All-Black the Necrosword was alive. It sensed the unfamiliar aura, and its blade trembled violently, splitting into countless black Symbiotes steel needles that stabbed fiercely at Jiang Li's arm, attempting to drain his Soul Stone.
"Trying to turn against me?" Jiang Li's eyes were icy.
"Leave it to me! This stuff is incredibly nutritious!"
Skurd, the slimy creature clinging to Jiang Li's wrist, shrieked. It lunged at the hilt of the All-Black the Necrosword, its green slime instantly enveloping the barbed black steel needles.
Sizzle!
Skurd began frantically absorbing the drifting death energy on the surface of the All-Black the Necrosword.
At the same time, Omnitrix burst forth with a dazzling interplay of red and green light. The system's underlying logic was fully activated.
[The origin of a concept-level god-slaying weapon has been detected.]
[The symbiotic organism is suppressing the weapon backlash... Suppression successful.]
[Enable gene assimilation and material scanning...]
[Extract the properties of ' Soul-Splitting ' and ' Absolute Dark Matter '.]
"Give it back to me! Mortal!"
Knull went completely mad. Having lost the All-Black the Necrosword, he fell from his lofty position as an ancient god. Black viscous fluid gushed from his severed right shoulder, instantly reshaping an arm. His hands transformed into sharp bone blades, and he lunged at Jiang Li recklessly.
Bite!
The system notification sound rang crisply in Jiang Li's mind.
[Assimilation complete.]
[Permanently unlocked: Necro- Necro-Armor skin with Full Gene Library.]
[All of the host's alien forms now deal true damage with ' Soul Annihilation '.]
"That's right."
Jiang Li looked up at Knull, who had lunged at him.
The All-Black the Necrosword itself transformed into a pool of molten black iron in Jiang Li's hand, which then melted directly into the Omnitrix watch face.
Faced with Knull's relentless barrage of bone blades, Jiang Li's thoughts raced.
Master Control. Ultimate.
Swish!
The green light shattered the surrounding vacuum.
A colossal beast, hundreds of meters tall, rose from the ground. It wasn't an ordinary dark green, but rather entirely black, as if cast from the darkest matter in the universe!
The behemoth's back, elbows, and knees were covered in jet-black bone spurs made of the All-Black the Necrosword material. The Omnitrix emblem on its chest had transformed into a cross-shaped pattern of dark gold and pure black.
[Ultimate Humungousaur Rex - Necro-Armor Form]!
Jiang Li transformed into a dark behemoth, facing Knull's bone blade without dodging or evading.
Click!
When Knull's bone blade struck the Necro-Armor, it shattered into countless fragments.
"Impossible! This is my power!" Knull's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"Now, it's mine."
Jiang Li's voice was like a deep, dark thunderclap from the netherworld.
He pulled his thick right arm back. Black death energy gathered and compressed wildly on his massive fist, tearing fine cracks into the surrounding space with this force.
Lock onto the target.
A punch was thrown!
God-Slaying Fist!
Bang----!!!
The punch landed squarely on Knull's chest.
There was no backward flight, no collision.
Under the "Soul Annihilation" property of the Necro-Armor, Knull's chest instantly cracked like fragile glass. Black death energy pierced through his body from the inside, directly obliterating the divine essence within him.
"I... am... the Abyss..."
Knull opened his mouth and let out a final, unwilling murmur.
Crack crack crack... Boom!
The God of Symbiotes's body shattered completely in space, turning into countless invisible cosmic dust particles, which were swept away by the residual force of the fist in the vacuum.
Knull, dead.
With the demise of Knull, the remaining 100,000 Symbiote Dragons in Earth's orbit instantly lost their connection to the Hive Consciousness.
They let out desperate cries, their massive bodies rapidly disintegrating in the vacuum, turning into a sky full of black ash.
Earth's surface.
The thick, black, viscous layer that enveloped the atmosphere also dissipated rapidly, like the receding tide.
Real sunlight pierced through the remaining haze and shone once more on the ruins of Manhattan.
The sunlight was a bit too bright.
Tony Stark lifted his mask, looked up at the long-lost blue sky, and exhaled a long breath.
"This kid really took down a god."
Captain America lowered his shield, a relieved smile spreading across his tired face.
Thor leaned on his Stormbreaker, watching the black-haired boy slowly descending from the sky, his single eye filled with awe.
Swish.
Jiang Li deactivated his transformation and landed smoothly in the center of the ruins. The Omnitrix on his wrist returned to its normal dark green color, and Skurd obediently retracted into the dial.
Gwen ran over from a distance and threw herself into Jiang Li's arms.
"Is it over?" Gwen's voice was muffled.
"It's over." Jiang Li patted her on the back and looked at the Avengers and Plumbers agents who were starting to cheer.
Jiang Li clenched his fist.
Although Knull is dead, he can sense that as the All-Black the Necrosword was absorbed by the system, his energy level fluctuations in the universe have reached an extremely terrifying threshold.
The real big shots in the Marvel Universe — the Celestials, the High Evolutionary, and even the Time Variance Authority —will set their sights on him sooner or later.
But so what?
A smile appeared on Jiang Li's lips.
"No matter how many come, I will kill them all."
