I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 227 The Black-Clad Emperor
Peter felt nothing.

He saw nothing, heard nothing, as if everything in the world had vanished, as if nothing existed anymore. He couldn't even sense his own body; the only thing he possessed was his memory. He saw the venom devour Grendel.

And then everything turned out the way it is now.

Nar's lack of resistance surprised Peter. Looking back, perhaps Nar believed he could control Venom after it consumed him; after all, he was awake, and controlling a symbiote shouldn't be too difficult. The only challenge was Peter Parker, Venom's symbiotic host.

So... this is how Nar chose to engage in a mental battle with himself?

"The spider said, 'Let there be light.'"

Peter raised his hand and released his bioelectricity—he couldn't actually feel his hand, he was just trying it out with the idea.

Then, in the silence, Peter saw the light, but then the light went out.

God said, “Use light,” but the light eventually went out, because light also has its own source, and everything will eventually dissipate.

Peter roughly understood Nar's method of suppressing himself. This was a struggle of essence; Nar's essence was nothingness, not the kind of nothingness of the dark side of the human heart that the Sentinel represented, but the objective nothingness of reality. The state of nothingness before the birth of the universe was Nar's essence, and now, Nar was reducing everything to nothingness on a spiritual level.

What Peter needed to do was to list things that could combat nihilism from a spiritual and conceptual level.

Peter's first thought was existence: the Big Bang gave birth to a new universe, creating light powerful enough to harm Nar, which was why Nar was angry. So Peter imagined an entire universe, a vibrant, burgeoning universe. With the birth of this universe, something objectively existing emerged from nothingness.

However, the existence of the universe is not eternal; the universe will also be destroyed and return to nothingness.

What about eternity?

Peter began to conceive of the eternal entity of the multiverse. Although eternity probably doesn't mean it's indestructible, Nal shouldn't be a match for eternity.

Peter found himself unable to come up with an idea; the description of eternity was too abstract for him to conceive of a sufficiently accurate image of eternity, as were those of infinity and higher-level beings like the Living Tribunal. So Peter had to settle for second best and try to conceive of a race of gods.

This time there were no obstacles. Perhaps it was because the Celestials weren't abstract enough, or perhaps it was because they had indeed left many traces in the physical universe. In any case, the Celestials appeared. They not only appeared, but they also began to create life and planets.

Nar sneered, and then the gods exploded, vanishing into thin air.

"...Why does it seem like Gnar won?" Completely baffled by Gnar's cold laugh, Peter then extended his hand, and a golden glove appeared on his wrist, inlaid with six gems of different colors. When the Infinity Gauntlet appeared in his mind, Gnar gave a surprised "hmm," seemingly completely unprepared for Peter to be able to produce such a thing.

With a simple snap of the fingers, the void dissipated.

?
not at all.

Knull is no match for the Infinity Gauntlet, just as he is no match for the Celestials. But regardless, he holds the same attitude: nothingness is a concept, and also the end of everything. Everything has an end. Neither gods like the Celestials nor artifacts like the Infinity Stones are indestructible or eternal. They still have the possibility of destruction, and as long as this possibility exists, everything will return to nothingness.

Therefore, whatever Peter pulls out, as long as it can theoretically be killed, destroyed, or replaced, it cannot escape the definition of nothingness. All things perish, and the end of all things is nothingness. Peter needs to find something conceptually indestructible, eternal, and truly indestructible, but it cannot be too abstract, lest he be unable to come up with something like eternity.

The Cosmic Cube? The Ultimate Eraser?
After thinking for a while, Peter looked at the space where nothing existed and said something.

"Nothingness does not exist."

Nar seemed to exclaim "Ah!" in surprise again, but nothing changed. Having seen all this, Peter continued, "All things perish, and the end of everything is nothingness. When everything comes to an end, nothingness ceases to exist. Since there is no existence, there is also no non-existence."

“Interesting. I thought you would show your unwavering will, or reveal more strange and unusual things.”

Nar finally appeared, illuminating the boundless darkness. The black-clad emperor needed the light to reveal his darkness. He smiled and walked up to Peter, looking at the young human before him: "Very interesting... You not only know a lot of things, but you also try to defeat me with logic. I must say, very creative."

"Am I wrong?"

"No, but... that's not enough. If you want to defeat the Emperor of the Universe, the Lord in Black, you need... something else."

Nar laughed, seemingly waiting for Peter's thoughts. Peter pondered for a moment and quickly came up with the first possible solution: Perhaps everything will eventually return to nothingness, and perhaps the current black-clad emperor is Nar.

But it was never said that Nar was the only, irreplaceable Black Emperor. Now that Peter and Venom have consumed Nar's mind and will, he could completely...

No, wait.

Why do I need to defeat Gnar?

Peter suddenly realized something: what they needed to do was never to contend with Nar's consciousness. Nar's consciousness actually resided within Grundel's Codex; all they needed to do was devour the Codex. Venom had said that he could communicate with Riot's Codex, but he couldn't hear Riot's voice.

This is a trap, and Nal wants to say it himself: Peter Parker becomes the Black Emperor, this is the answer.

“Then you can come out when everything is dead, Nar. Maybe you can try to outlast me here. Believe me, you might regret it.” Peter stared at Nar and said, “I know who your opponent is: the God of Light, the Power of Mystery, the Messenger of Eternity, Captain Universe. Oh, speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve ever considered Captain Universe’s power here. Want to give it a try?”

Nar laughed again.

“Foolish mortal, you think you know so much? Fine, enjoy your victory now, you stubborn mule. I gave you the chance to become a god, but you gave it up yourself.” As Nar spoke, his figure vanished. “But you’d better remember that everything ends in nothingness. I will return, sooner than you think.”

"...Anyone can talk big."

　I have a feeling that things are getting out of control, so I have no choice but to deal with Gnar this way.
