[3rd POV]
It was the next day, after the fun final day with the girls before the War. Gwen had already gone around, finishing the last touches of each of her weapons and plans, and alerting the people around the solar system for the arrival of Knull.
Gwen knew that once Knull was here, she wouldn't be able to talk to any of them. She'd need to personally go and fight the entity in person, so that the others could safely deal with the others, like the symbiote dragons that would be causing the most problems out of any of the "Small fry".
The orbital cannons were now all prepped and ready to fire. The shields around Mars and Earth were at full power, ready to defend against them, same with the Moon which had a small population thanks to the small cities that Gwen had begun to build there, mostly for scientists from Mars.
The people of Earth and Mars had been warned and prepared for what was coming. With everyone gathering themselves and getting ready. Even the simple citizens of the various countries were preparing, bringing out the weapons that they were told about.
Sound and Fire. So they used loud surround sound systems, and homemade flamethrowers from spray cans and a lighter. Hell, some of them even created Molotovs and weren't getting in trouble for it.
Not when the entire world was at risk.
Most of the countries were putting their differences aside and working together, ready to face the invasion that was incoming. With their combined effort, weapons were deployed around the world, prepared to destroy any symbiotes that enter the skies of Earth and break through the shield.
A total full force deployment of weapons and manpower.
Not that any of their weapons would really do anything, but she supposed the weaker symbiotes would get wiped out from most of them, so that might help a little.
But considering Knull had an army of what was likely billions of symbiotes at this point, and Gwen's worries regarding how much that would actually help was founded. Doesn't help that some of the stronger symbiotes would be able to defend the weaker ones from the blasts, especially the corrupted Celestials that were the greatest threat in his army.
At the moment Gwen was floating in outer space, alone. She was near the point where she would be teleporting the symbiote army in with Knull. And she was looking over the area, making sure everything was prepared, while her clones were out doing their own things, activating the final weapons, and sending off the androids to Earth and the Moon.
'Seems it's finally time' Gwen thought, as she sighed. For once she was actually a little nervous, wondering how this fight was going to go, with the entity being stronger than her.
Connecting her mind to Xaviers, she began to speak to him telepathically.
"It's time, Xavier" Gwen spoke, as the man who was with the other mutants that were ready to fight, paused and relayed the news to the others who all breathed in deeply.
"Alright Gwen. We are prepared on our end. Earth and Mars are both completely and utterly prepped for this invasion" Charles responded, knowing that Gwen was genuinely nervous with how this was going to go.
She didn't want anyone to die. And she knew that she could not revive them if they did die, Death would not allow it. Lady Death didn't take kindly to those that went against the natural order, and her bringing back people from the dead was doing exactly that.
Breathing in deeply, Gwen let out soft breaths, as she spoke one final time to Charles "I've begun, Charles" Gwen spoke, as a golden glow formed in the space in front of her, cracks appearing in reality.

[Earth 616]
In another universe, one sister to their own, the humans of Earth were freaking out. The heroes of the planet were preparing the best they could, knowing that Knull was coming. That an entity that slayed Celestials was coming their way.
That an entity that has corrupted Celestials was coming.
Not just one Celestial, but Celestials, as in, multiple. He had at least 5 under his control, potentially even more than that. Each of them were easily capable of decimating universes, albeit weakened due to the corruption, they were still far stronger than most heroes were.
Thus, they had to prepare in kind. With the likes of the Sentry being prepped and ready to fight against the coming invasion.
There were various monitoring devices currently trained on the incoming fleet of Symbiotes being led by Knull, watching them get closer as the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men were all watching.
"...How the hell are we going to defeat this guy?" Johnny Storm asked, not sure how they were going to beat someone who has literally corrupted Celestials.
A single celestial was already a huge problem for them, but several? They hadn't faced someone like that in a long time, if ever.
"We are the best we can, Johnny. We've got the big hitters ready to face them, and we are even in contact with Venom and Eddie Brock, who seem to have some knowledge on the entity that is coming" Reed responded, as they all watched the screen.
"We'll just have to fight until the last breath, to stop this mad entity that thinks he can come for Earth, to defeat the vil-" "Wait, where'd they all go?" A voice echoed, as the group that had been turning to Captain America all looked back at the screen.
Only to see that there was a large crack in space that had seemingly sucked in all the symbiotes and Knull, leaving the place in darkness once again.
Looking at the screen, Reed and the other scientists immediately began to try and locate them, but found that they...were just nonexistent, as if they had been dragged somewhere. With the realization that someone might have just saved their asses, all the heroes in the area had only one thought on their minds.
'...Who saved us?'

Back in Earth 6162 with Gwen, the woman gazed off into the distance, seeing the massive oncoming fleet of symbiotes. And noticed the power rippling from farther into the fleet, where she knew that Knull was.
Looking forward, Gwen connected to every single orbital cannon in the solar system, and gave them all an order.
'Fire!' She spoke inwardly, as 95 different orbital cannons around the solar system all began to glow brilliantly, including the ones on Earth, and each of them shook their surroundings as a bright beam of energy ripped from them, flying through space and instantly striking the fleet in front of her.
On Earth the humans all breathed in realizing that the invasion was officially here, that it was time to fight to survive.
While on Mars, the skies were watched by thousands of mutants, Eternals, and Inhumans with the capability of flight. The sorcerers were watching the grounds, and watching the symbiote army from afar to keep an eye out for any stragglers.
All the while Gwen just gave another order to fire, seeing that a decent chunk of the symbiotes were wiped from existence, another group of beams ripped through the massive fleet as she watched.
And as she watched, she saw him, at the core of the fleet, staring at her with a menacing grin on his face, his godkilling blade gleaming in his hands. Sitting upon a throne on what was basically a large platform, was...
Knull, The King in Black
