Seeing Yang Jian prepare another heat vision shot, Deadpool hurriedly pulled out his time-space belt: "No no no! I'm activating the jump right now!"
He slung an arm around Yang Jian's shoulder and winked at the two women: "Deadpool & Superman epic crossover—starting now!"
The moment he pressed the button, space began to warp.
Yang Jian gave Wanda and Mikaela one last look: "Wait for me to come back."
With a blinding flash of light, the two figures vanished.
Mikaela stared at the now-empty living room: "Does he disappear like this often?"
Wanda smiled and sat back on the sofa: "You get used to it. In a few days he'll come back with a bunch of new stories."
Mikaela picked up the remote and anxiously switched channels: "I hope they're safe."
Meanwhile – Inside the Transit Tunnel
"Aaaah! I forgot to buckle up!" Deadpool's scream echoed through the dimensional rift.
"Wait—this position is kinda intimate. Wanna do a crossover kiss?"
Yang Jian: ...…
He silently increased the power of his heat vision.
In the spacetime tunnel, countless images of different universes flashed by like a zoetrope.
Deadpool screamed like a kid on a roller coaster for the first time.
"Whoa! That's Tobey's universe! Ahh! That looks like the X-Men timeline! Wait—is that the Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe world?!"
"Shut up." Yang Jian glared at him, finally losing patience.
But if Deadpool could stay quiet, he wouldn't be Deadpool. He kept blabbering like a human megaphone until a blinding white light appeared ahead.
Earth – 2149New YorkSanctum Sanctorum
Wanda Maximoff, Echo, and Ash cautiously pushed open the doors of the Sanctum.
The sight inside made their skin crawl.
A zombified Druid mage knelt on the ground, gnawing on the Sorcerer Supreme's remains.
Hearing the noise, the Druid raised his head. His rotting face showed a guilty expression: "Sorry, I got bitten by a zombie hero this morning. I came to Strange for treatment, but I just couldn't resist the hunger."
Ash immediately aimed his gun: "Damn it! Another zombie!"
"Don't shoot! I'm full! Really!" The Druid frantically waved his hands; chunks of rotting flesh fell from his arm.
"I can take you to the library to find the Book of the Dead. Maybe it can save this world!"
Suddenly, a white light exploded inside the room!
Yang Jian and Deadpool appeared out of nowhere.
Deadpool landed and immediately dropped to his knees dry-heaving: "Ugh, shouldn't have eaten so many burritos this morning! Ugh!"
Ash instantly swung his gun toward them: "Who the hell are you?!"
Yang Jian didn't even blink. His eyes flared red.
Shoo! Shoo!
Two beams of heat vision vaporized Ash and the Druid into nothing.
Wanda and Echo instinctively retreated a step, chaos magic and sonic attack ready in an instant.
"Are you insane?!" Wanda snapped.
"He was the only one who knew how to save this world!"
"That's exactly why he had to die." Yang Jian said calmly.
"A few hours from now, the two of you would have died because of him."
Deadpool finally finished vomiting and staggered to his feet. He tried to sling an arm around Yang Jian's shoulder, got slapped away, and didn't even look embarrassed—just pretended to lean on empty air.
"Ladies, that Ash guy was a total loser and a creep! He was only helping you to get in your pants!"
He suddenly lowered his voice: "Though I can understand the temptation."
Yang Jian added: "And he didn't understand magic at all. The Book of the Dead was just a prop."
He wasn't lying—Ash really couldn't save the world, at least not in his current state. Instead, he would have caused more deaths.
People like that were better off gone.
Wanda and Echo exchanged doubtful glances. Echo frowned: "So what do we do now?"
Yang Jian didn't answer. Instead he turned to Deadpool: "Didn't you say we were going to the 2149 universe? Why did we end up at this point in time?"
"I targeted 2149!" Deadpool spread his hands defensively.
"Maybe the belt got short-circuited by zombie blood? Though this is still the 2149 universe."
Wanda cut them off: "Either way, we should at least check if the Book of the Dead is really useless."
"Do whatever you want." Yang Jian shrugged. "But don't get your hopes up."
Deadpool suddenly jumped between them: "You should believe him! He's Superman! Know who Superman is? Steel body! Heat vision! Hotter than Captain America's perky butt!"
Echo rolled her eyes at Deadpool: "We're not doubting him—we just need a concrete solution."
"Then let's go." Yang Jian wasn't in a hurry and started walking ahead with them.
