Narrating, the Venom symbiote states that the universe is comprised of black - the Void from which its kind was created, white - the Light that opposes the darkness, and red - the teeming multitude of life. In the depths of the ocean, the Dark Carnage symbiote - bonded to a great white shark - leads a pack of smaller sharks as it prowls the ocean depths. The Venom symbiote recaps the events of Absolute Carnage and Venom Island, saying that it and Eddie had thought the Dark Carnage symbiote destroyed but that it had survived - and with it, Cletus Kasady's consciousness endured. A whaling ship harpoons a shark; the symbiote flowing up the harpoon cable and grabbing one of the whalers before dragging him into the ocean. Taking over the whaler, Carnage climbs aboard and prepares to slaughter the crew, intent on taking his place as the Red Right Hand of the King in Black. At that exact moment, Knull is killed by Eddie Brock, causing the symbiote dome encasing the Earth to shatter into countless symbiotes. Through the symbiote hive-mind, Eddie - now the new god of the symbiotes - calls out to Carnage, who snarls for his nemesis to get out of his head. As symbiotes rain from the sky onto the ship and into the ocean, Eddie's voice says that he has been fighting Carnage in one form or another ever since the Venom symbiote spawned the original Carnage symbiote, a mistake he thought he could never take back until now. Bonding to the crew of the ship, the symbiotes state that they are Venom, leaving Carnage shocked and incredulous. Manifesting an arm-blade, Carnage snarls that he'll kill them all but is unceremoniously booted overboard. Interjecting, the Venom symbiote states that Knull is dead and that Eddie is the new King in Black, making Carnage now one of his subjects. As Carnage sinks back into the ocean, Eddie says he is not welcome in his reformed Hive and sentences him to execution - countless symbiote-controlled sharks swarming Carnage and devouring him in a feeding frenzy.
