"Huh!!"

"What?"

"What the freak!!"

Master Weaver shuddered in his web when John called him Karn. His greatest secret got exposed by someone who he didn't even know. Only thing he could sense was that this guy had immense life force and his destiny lines were really weird.

"Karn? Wait, Master Weaver's real name is Karn? My name? What the hell is going on?" Karn on their side also freaked out when John said that. Meanwhile Master Weaver came down from the huge spider web that was built all around the huge room. He came just directly opposite of John and looked at him straight.

Everybody was silent and was confused. Everyone thought that Master Weaver was something extraordinary, but John just called him by the name Karn.

"It is not good to expose secrets of everyone, Phoenix Force." Master Weaver said.

"Oh C'mon you would have said the same thing to him before your death. At least this time you wouldn't die." John said.

"John, what is going on?" Clark asked as all wanted to know why Master Weaver was Karn and they had their own Karn here.

"Master Weaver is Karn. Not the present Karn. But the future Karn." John just dropped a bomb with that.

"You mean I will be Master Weaver in the future? What? If I am future Master Weaver then will I be here in the future? Living that same cycle?" Karn asked as he was confused just like the others.

"Yes. It is your destiny." It was Master Weaver who replied to Karn. All the people present in the room didn't expect such a twisted ending. Master Weaver being the future Karn. Even though they both wore helmets they didn't bring 2 and 2 together.

But when they looked closely both had the same dressing sense in the upper torso.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"This is a new level of sorcery. Present and future meeting each other. Reminds me of Captain where they had to fight each other." Tony joked.

"I don't want to be Master Weaver. I don't want to go through the same humiliation and torture which you have went." Karn refused straight at the face. He was responsible for the demise of his family and now the simple notion that he had to go back to the path was not what he wanted.

"There is no other way to do this. You will have to take the same path, but it might be different this time as this person here has changed the cycle. It might be totally a different story for you but nonetheless you will have to kill me." Master Weaver said to Karn.

"Did I really change the cycle?" John asked. It was because he too wanted to know. In the actual story, it was Spider-Man who killed Master Weaver and after his death Karn took over his position. It was before his last moments, Karn came to know that he would be Master Weaver as a weaver needs to be looking after the web of life and destiny.

"You have already done so by revealing that I am Karn." Master Weaver replied to John.

"That is true." John mumbled more to himself rather than to others.

"No, I don't want to take up this position." Karn refused.

"Then do you want to love in hunger for blood for the rest of your life like your family?" Wayne said this time. By now they understood the ins and outs of this whole story. And they needed to finish the job as soon as possible as it would be a waste of time brooding here.

Karn who heard this hesitated now. He hated his family, but above all he hated his thirst for life force to live. Being a peace loving person he never entertained the whole idea.

"How sure are you that I will lose the thirst?" Karn asked.

"Because I am you. The web will feed your life force and make you immortal." Master Weaver reassured him.

"And if you don't take over this mantle, I will force you. You have killed Spider-Man before and that can never be erased. This will be the punishment for you. Living as Master Weaver." John said as he threatened Karn. Since Karn had to take over as Master Weaver, he needed to accept the reality, even if he didn't like it.

"Dude, you better accept it. It's not going to end well if you don't" Pietro said as he was trying to convince Karn. Karn also realised that if he didn't take this mantle it would be very bad for him.

"Fine." Karn said as he sighed.

"This story had all twists and turns. John, you better make a movie out of this later. Our first multiversal trip was such an interesting one." Tony said. Karn on the other hand was still struggling inside a bit.

"You can kill him after we settle some account with you. You killed a country's king. They deserve an answer." Clark said as he didn't forget that this thing started at their universe with T'Challa murder.
