Chapter 384: The Deadpool Army Descends
Universe 10005
"Hmph. Why? Why do you ordinary people get to live so happily?"
"All I wanted was a family, and even that wasn't allowed!"
"Soon, my love. Tommy, Billy. If they won't let us exist in this world, then I'll destroy every world and let them all be buried with you."
Wanda's voice echoed across the empty sky, full of endless sorrow and bitterness.
Her eyes had once shone with hope. Now deep hatred and despair had taken their place, as if they could swallow every light around her.
She flew slowly. Each warm, happy home she passed was another blade cutting into her heart. The laughter and the small, ordinary, genuine moments of happiness were a cruel mockery of everything she had sacrificed.
She couldn't help asking herself why fate had been so unfair to her, leaving her torn between protecting and losing, only to end up with nothing at all.
Wanda remembered her days as an Avenger. Those years had been full of battle and sacrifice. Time and again she had stepped forward and used her powers to hold back threats from beyond, protecting the world she loved.
But the price had been devastating. She lost Pietro, her beloved brother, forever in one brutal battle.
Then came Vision, the one she loved, a being woven from technology and humanity. He too was destroyed in a tragedy, and he took the last trace of warmth in her heart with him.
For all that pain and loss, Wanda had never blamed anyone.
She chose to bear it alone. She shut herself away in a corner no one knew about and used her magic to build her ideal world.
It was a happy world that belonged entirely to her. In it were her love, Vision, and their two boys, Tommy and Billy.
Yes, and her brother Pietro too.
A family of five, living an ordinary, happy life. She had thought she could live like that for the rest of her days.
So why? Why did they have to wake her from that dream?
Damn S.H.I.E.L.D.! Damn S.W.O.R.D.!
The more she thought about the people who had destroyed it, the thicker the black aura around her grew, like an omen of coming catastrophe.
She didn't understand. She hadn't hurt anyone. Why did they still have to stand in her way?
If people were going to stand in her way, she would kill every last one of them!
Later, the witch Agatha tried to devour her and was devoured instead. Wanda took all of Agatha's power and grew even stronger.
She killed everyone who stood in her way. S.W.O.R.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. still tried to protect the world, so she destroyed the world along with them.
Just as Wanda finished destroying one world and set out to destroy others, the Time Variance Authority seized her and dumped her in the Void.
But now she could go on and fulfill her dream. The whole world had opposed her, stood in her way.
She had realized that as long as anyone in the world still existed, there would always be voices against her.
So she decided to destroy this world completely, and the entire multiverse with it. She would reduce everything to zero and then, by her own will, create it anew as a world of nothing but love and peace.
She would create a world with only Vision in it!
And it would all be soon!
The Dark Witch quickly found the Time Variance Authority's base.
Mr. Paradox appeared before her, his face full of disbelief, his voice both shocked and warning. "Wanda, how did you get out? Leave this place at once!"
Clearly, he didn't think the Dark Witch would hurt him.
The Minutemen reacted fast. Clad in silver armor and wielding special weapons that could manipulate the flow of time, they took up position and surrounded her.
The air crackled with tension. Yet Wanda seemed to stand in another world entirely, paying none of it any attention.
She lifted a hand lightly. A mass of chaotic, overwhelming magical energy gathered at her fingertips and writhed in the air like a living thing. In an instant it wrapped around Mr. Paradox, seized him by the throat, and hoisted him high, as though the whole world had frozen.
"Tell me. Where is the Timeline Shredder?"
Seeing Mr. Paradox captured, the Minutemen could hold back no longer. They pulled their triggers, trying to bind Wanda with the power of the time stream.
But Wanda merely flicked her sleeve. An even fiercer wave of chaos magic poured out like a tide and instantly swallowed every attack, along with every Minuteman, reducing them all to nothing.
"I'd advise you... to calm down... Wanda... Do you have any idea... that this is a crime..." Mr. Paradox's face flushed red from lack of air as he struggled to break free of her iron grip.
"Talk, or die!" The Dark Witch couldn't care less about his threats.
"Stop stalling. Take me there and operate it!" She poured still more power into the chaos magic.
Mr. Paradox was on the verge of being strangled to death.
"I... I'll... take you. Let... go..." Facing death, Mr. Paradox agreed at once.
Seeing that he'd agreed, the Dark Witch simply dropped him. He gulped down air in great heaving breaths. "Hah... hah... hah..."
Mr. Paradox didn't dare dawdle. He quickly led the Dark Witch toward the Timeline Shredder.
...
Meanwhile:
"So the so-called Time Variance Authority's headquarters is a subway station? Why does this look exactly like the one in Flushing?" Hell's Kitchen Deadpool arrived at the top of the station.
"Enough talk. Let's go stop her," Logan said in a low, gravelly voice.
"I think I already saw the Dark Witch go in. We have to stop that crazy middle-aged lady."
"Wait, wait! What am I seeing?!" Mainline Deadpool suddenly let out a squeal.
A little dog in a Deadpool costume came trotting toward them!
Mainline Deadpool immediately dropped to both knees to welcome her, a.k.a. Dogpool.
"Aww, what are you doing here?!"
"What's so great about her? She's not even as cute as our Hell's Kitchen Deadpool Dog."
"Buuut this Dogpool looks like a girl, and the Hell's Kitchen one's a boy. The two of them could hook up." Hell's Kitchen Deadpool stared at Dogpool, eyes shining.
"Let me tell you something. Don't you even think about touching my adorable doggo!" Mainline Deadpool glared warily at Hell's Kitchen Deadpool.
"You talk like you're the dog's owner. Her owner's right back there!"
Sure enough, Nicepool came running up from behind.
Mainline Deadpool took one look at the dog's owner and his face filled with disgust.
"What are you doing here? Let me tell you..." Mainline Deadpool was already working out how to get rid of Nicepool!
"I'm not the only one who came. The Deadpool Corps came too. Trust me, you do not want to see them..." He paused deliberately and glanced off into the distance, as if waiting for some big moment to arrive.
At that very moment, a strange presence filled the air. The Wolverine's keen nose caught it first. He knitted his brows, his eyes blazing as he stared into the distance.
"I smell it... It's not just you. There are more... and they're closing in on us."
As his words faded, the once-quiet air filled with the dense, heavy thud of footsteps. They rolled in like a tide, drawing closer and making the ground tremble faintly.
Everyone's heart began to race as they looked nervously toward the sound.
Up ahead, a dark mass was rapidly approaching. It was a massive legion of countless Deadpools in black suits, armed with every weapon imaginable. They marched in perfect step, their eyes cold, like envoys from hell sworn to devour everything.
"The Deadpool Army... has arrived!"
