We started traveling to other universes, continuing to search for Wolverine.
Old Man Wolverine started shooting guns as soon as he saw us, so we fled to another universe, and we also met a Wolverine who was restrained with his arms and legs nailed to a cross-shaped torture device made of Xs amidst a field of skulls. Of course, I freed him, but he couldn't come to his senses properly. In the original comics, was he said to have been kidnapped?
"Ah~ I get it. You're the nosy type, huh? Like those weird pervert kids who can't stand it when a classmate gets a pimple and have to pop it."
Deadpool said that after seeing me free Wolverine.
"Well, it's just that there's someone in front of me who needs help, so I help them, that's all."
Actually, I think Deadpool's words are somewhat right. There were parts in the MCU that went strangely because of my meddling. But since it was more due to my good-hearted nature, it wasn't entirely correct.
While moving through portals again, we also met a classic Wolverine fighting the Hulk. Deadpool cracked a Marvel Jesus joke in front of the Hulk, got hit, and took some time to recover. Although it was a bit more chaotic than the movies, it seemed like we'd met almost all of them.
While wandering like that, we finally found the Wolverine who was active in the original story. That Wolverine was quietly drinking at a bar, and seeing that, Deadpool said.
"This one seems promising."
Regardless of Deadpool saying that from behind, Wolverine tapped the table and ordered more drink from the bartender.
"Another one."
The bartender, with a very displeased expression, didn't fill Wolverine's glass but put the bottle down on the table and said.
"I said you're not welcome anymore! It'll be the same wherever you go. Stop drinking and get lost!"
"Just one more drink and I'll go."
To briefly explain this universe's Wolverine, he's an alcoholic who returned to the X-Men school completely drunk, only to witness the horrific sight of the school being raided by a mutant-hating group and all the X-Men members being killed.
Enraged, Wolverine lost his mind and killed all the perpetrators he came across. However, in the process, several civilians also died, becoming a catalyst for deeper conflict between ordinary people and mutants.
Ultimately, because of that incident, both mutants and ordinary people came to dislike Wolverine.
Deadpool sat down next to Wolverine and said to the bartender.
"Just leave the bottle there!"
Seeing Deadpool intervening, Wolverine made a face and said.
"Do I know you?"
"No, but I know you."
Wolverine sighed at those words and spoke.
"Everyone knows me. I'm that Wolverine."
"Yeah, right! You're Wolverine. You need to come with me right now."
Deadpool, unaware of this Wolverine's situation, was just talking about his own business. Naturally finding it ridiculous, Wolverine shook his head side to side and spoke as if annoyed.
"Sweetheart, not interested. Why should I follow you!"
"Because, coincidentally, I need you. Even more coincidentally, my world needs you."
Then the bartender who was watching made an insulting remark. Probably because he wanted Wolverine to leave quickly.
"Are you two going to fuck? Or fight?"
Hearing that, Deadpool, as if finding it ridiculous, looked at the bartender for a moment, then looked at him, who was quietly sitting unlike the aggressive Wolverines he'd met so far, and found it even more ridiculous.
"You just take that?"
"Yeah."
"Huh... Really... Judging by the atmosphere, it's 'I don't want to hurt you, so don't come close'. Any other Wolverine would have beaten him up already."
Then I stepped in and said.
"Instead of that, if you come with us, I'll provide unlimited alcohol and give you a motorcycle. How about it?"
"Hmm... That's tempting. Alright, what's this about?"
Seeing Wolverine agree so easily, Deadpool, as if dumbfounded, held his head and spoke.
"He wouldn't listen to me no matter what I said, but he's swayed by alcohol and a motorcycle!?"
Ignoring Deadpool like that, I continued.
"Right now, a universe is being destroyed, and it seems this guy needs you."
"How do I believe you'll give me free alcohol?"
I took out a small gold bullion and handed it to Wolverine.
"Will this make you believe? It's an advance."
Wolverine took the gold bullion in his hand, turned it around, confirmed it was real gold, and put it in his pocket.
"Alright, let's give it a try."
This world's Wolverine, hated by people, probably had no work given to him, no money, and difficulty drinking. That's why I chose this method.
"Just like that?"
Deadpool seemed unable to believe the situation. I took out two gold coins, threw them to the bartender, and said.
"For now, let's go."
"Wait a minute!"
Wolverine, perhaps regretting the drink he was having, grabbed the bottle on the table and drank. Looking at the label, it was quite strong alcohol, but Wolverine gulped it down as if intending to finish it all at once. Deadpool was surprised at the sight and said.
"My god! Is our honey badger thirsty?"
Then Wolverine, who downed it in one shot, said.
"Keha~! Now let's go..."
Thud!
Wolverine, already heavily drunk, drank recklessly and with those final words, fell backward and passed out.
"Jin, it seems this Wolverine isn't the one either?"
"Why don't we just take him? How long are we going to keep searching?"
"Sigh... Yeah, I guess we have no choice..."
Deadpool tried to lift the Wolverine lying face down by grabbing his shirt, but discovered the suit Wolverine was wearing underneath his clothes and said in surprise.
"Oh! Look at this long johns? It only took him fucking 20 years to wear this."
That suit was an X-Men uniform suit, the one Wolverine stubbornly refused to wear, saying it was tacky. Deadpool, leaving only the suit on the drunk, unconscious Wolverine, stripped off his other clothes and threw them away, then supported Wolverine, opened a portal to the TVA, and went in. I also retrieved the gold bullion from Wolverine's clothes and followed through the portal.
"Pass on the left~ Miss!"
Deadpool joked and entered the TVA proudly supporting Wolverine like a triumphant general.
"The great Logan, who can even do musicals!"
As soon as he entered like that, he just dropped Wolverine on the floor and said to Paradox.
"A Wolverine in his original costume as a bonus. Not embarrassed to be in a superhero movie this time? He was just wearing it."
Paradox seemed unable to understand why Wolverine was brought here.
"I don't understand."
"You said my universe is dying because that bastard died. Problem solved, right?"
Hearing Deadpool's words, Paradox finally seemed to understand the situation and spoke incredulously.
"My god... Is this Wolverine what you went through all the trouble to find to replace the anchor character?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with him?"
"I can't accept any Wolverine, but of all of them, you brought the worst one?"
"What do you mean worst?"
"Mr. Wilson, this Wolverine disappointed his own world. He's legendary in a bad way. What this guy did is... unforgivable."
He seemed to be talking about what the Wolverine we brought did in his own world.
"Then what do we need to do to save the universe? I'll do anything, tell me."
"I gave you a chance to be great. The higher-ups saw you as special. Not special in a good way, but they saw that you would play an important role in the future."
Deadpool pointed at me and said.
"With that guy?"
"I gave you a chance as instructed, but far from gratefully accepting, you even kidnapped the most important person in the timeline."
"Jin enjoyed that too."
It's true I enjoyed it.
"And you slaughtered a dozen of my men and disrespected the corpse of a hero who was quietly resting."
"What are you? The internet? How do you know all that?"
Paradox spoke strongly to Deadpool, as if telling him to face reality.
"Your world is dying!!"
Then an employee brought a sandwich to Paradox and handed it to him.
"Thank you."
Paradox ate the sandwich and continued talking.
*Munch munch*
"That can't be stopped. From a humanitarian perspective, we need to let it die quickly."
"You're talking about evaporating a universe while eating something?"
"I'm stressed."
"The reason I'm losing everything precious to me is because a fluffy wolverine from Australia finally died."
Hearing that, Wolverine, sobered from the alcohol, glared at Deadpool and slowly got up from the floor. Deadpool also seemed to sense Wolverine glaring at him from behind.
"You're standing behind me?"
Deadpool turned around, looked at Wolverine, and said.
"By the way, welcome to joining the MCU. Though it's been going a bit downhill lately..."
He then pointed at Paradox and said.
"I need to talk to your boss! Call right now and tell them, whether it's a man or woman or anyone, that Marvel Jesus is pissed!"
At Deadpool's words, the TVA employees remained quiet for quite a while, all exchanging looks without saying anything.
"Holy shit! This is all a solo operation, isn't it? Your higher-ups don't know what your bastards are doing, do they?"
This incident was something Paradox was doing to solidify his position in the TVA, so he didn't report it to his superiors. Deadpool had caught onto that.
"You're busted! I'm a black belt in being a pain-in-the-ass complainer. Get ready! I'm going upstairs to tell your superiors everything..."
While Deadpool was talking, Paradox stabbed him with a suppression baton and sent him to the Void (the end of time). Only the Tempad remained where Deadpool disappeared. The Tempad seemed unaffected by the suppression baton.
"Phew~ Nice and quiet, right?"
When Deadpool disappeared, Wolverine asked Paradox.
"Where did he go?"
"To the junkyard that suits you all."
At those words, Wolverine also got angry and tried to attack Paradox, but Paradox extended the suppression baton again and sent Wolverine to the Void too.
"Phew... That was close... Hah!"
I picked up the Tempad that had fallen where Deadpool disappeared.
"Anyway, Chairman Jin, please give that to me and I'll quickly send you back to your original world."
"No, I'll return on my own."
I operated the Tempad, opened a portal leading to the Void, and entered. I heard Paradox's shout of 'Wait~!' midway but ignored it.
Arriving at the Void, various terrains were visible. Some terrains were deserts, others had forests, and there were also terrains like the Grand Canyon. In the distance, I could also see 'Alioth', a monster in the shape of a large storm cloud that eats everything. Observing it with [Six Eyes], it was absorbing matter and energy to make them its own nutrients.
"I definitely can't beat that thing with my current abilities."
According to the setting, since it consumes time and space too, I couldn't capture it with my current abilities. That doesn't mean it has no weaknesses at all. It has the weakness of being vulnerable to psychic attacks. Even so, its abilities were almost god-like.
I looked around to see if there was anything useful. According to movies and dramas, spaceships, items from cosmic beings, remains, and such things also fall here.
While wandering around using my [Treasure Detection] ability to find what I needed, all I found was one broken spaceship made with quite advanced technology. I stored this whole in my inventory to analyze later.
Since there seemed to be nothing more, I took out [Jack Sparrow's Compass] to find Deadpool and Wolverine, set the direction, and moved. After moving for a while, I saw Deadpool and Wolverine being captured by 'Cassandra Nova's gang. I also saw Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four with them.
I teleported into the prison.
"Hey~ How you doing?"
"Hey! Jin, how did you get here. Are you some kind of lamp genie? Help us out."
"Got it."
I just grabbed and tore the wire rope restraining Deadpool and Wolverine with my hands and also freed Johnny Storm's restrained arms.
"Everyone, hold my hand."
When I said to just hold hands, Deadpool hugged me. Wolverine and Johnny also held my hand. I immediately teleported to a high cliff nearby.
"Whoa! So you have this ability too. As expected of the strongest Avenger."
"Seriously... You said you'd put a hole in my ass if I ran away earlier. Wait a sec."
I teleported again, instantly beheaded 'John Allerdyce', aka the X-Men's Pyro, who seemed to be a cadre of the gang, and returned to the cliff.
Ding~!
[[(A)Flame Manipulation] ability obtained.]
[(A)Flame Manipulation]
Can manipulate flames.
Looking down from the cliff, Pyro died while driving, so the vehicle deviated from its path, crashed its side against a large rock, rolled several times, and stopped. The gang members around stopped their cars, confirmed Pyro was dead, and left again.
"What did you do?"
"Ah, I killed the guy who looked like the leader and came back."
"Whoa! That's scary... How many abilities do you even have?"
"Who knows? That's a secret."
"Seriously, so stingy. Anyway, thank you! But weren't you a pacifist?"
"Yeah, a selective pacifist."
"..."
Johnny also came and thanked me.
"Thanks, I don't know who you are, but I would have definitely died if I'd been taken."
"Hey! Employer, got any alcohol?"
True to being an alcoholic, Wolverine looked for alcohol first.
"Wait a bit. Let's go to that restaurant building we can see first."
I suggested going to the restaurant building visible in the distance. Deadpool seemed like he would teleport again, so he hugged me, and Johnny and Wolverine held my hands.
"Seriously, you could just hold hands, do you have to hug?"
"Skin-ship between colleagues is good. Lady Gaga said she has sex with people she works with."
It seemed like arguing with Deadpool would just give me a headache, so I teleported immediately.
"Let's rest here for a bit."
I took out alcohol from my inventory and threw it to Wolverine, and took out random lunch boxes according to the number of people.
"Wow! Is there anything you can't do? Where on earth did this come from? Are you really 'Genie Jin-nie from the lamp'?"
"You're talking like I'm a genie. I'm not like that."
Deadpool ignored my words and suddenly started making wishes to me.
"My wish is, you know. To fix the universe and get back together with Vanessa (ex-girlfriend). As my final wish, I'll grant you freedom, come out of the lamp."
"What nonsense."
Wolverine, who didn't understand the current situation, asked me.
"Where is this?"
"This is, you know, the end of time. Called the 'Void'. When time ends in all multiverses, they come here. The TVA uses this as a trash can, though."
"Who were those guys earlier?"
"I don't know either. Raiders who were dumped here and survived?"
"Let me tell you."
Johnny, while eating, explained.
"Here, you know, you either become food for Alioth or work under that woman."
Wolverine asked again.
"What's Alioth and who's that woman?"
"Alioth is a monster that looks like a storm cloud that devours everything, I don't know its true identity either. And that woman is 'Cassandra Nova', a psycho with grandiose delusions, a bitch born from a rotten testicle with a conceited attitude and flat chest like John's, but that kind of girl, you know, should just suck my sweet asshole and fuck off to bald hell!"
"Go on."
"Well, even if you strip off all my skin and pop me like a blood balloon, I don't care, even if I set fire to that human's crotch, my anger won't be relieved!"
Even Deadpool seemed to hear such curses for the first time and was impressed.
"Savage curses, you crazy bastard. I have a foul mouth too, but this friend is on another level?"
"Yeah, Wade (Deadpool), to really be satisfied, you have to turn that human into a barbecue and roll around with the crispy corpse while rolling their nuts in your mouth."
"Wow!"
"You can quote me."
Wolverine also found it funny and was laughing with his head bowed next to me. I asked again.
"So, in short, a woman named Cassandra Nova rules this place and has a shitty personality?"
"Well... Roughly yes. And she's an Omega-level mutant. Has powerful telekinesis and can read memories. We fought a few times and lost many comrades."
"Then who are you guys?"
"We're the resistance. Fighting Cassandra Nova and trying to somehow escape this place. Well... most have failed, though."
I looked at Deadpool again and said.
"By the way, you getting along well with Wolverine?"
"Not bad."
Then Wolverine, while drinking, turned around and said.
"Tell that bastard to shut his mouth!"
"Well, glad to hear you're getting along. More importantly, drink moderately. Who knows what might happen."
"I'll handle it myself. Mind your own business."
'Handle it myself, my ass. He's just drinking like crazy.'
After finishing his meal, Deadpool asked Wolverine something he was curious about.
"By the way, how did you end up wearing the original costume? I wear red so blood doesn't show even if I bleed. Yellow is nice too. Doesn't show if you shit yourself either."
Wolverine made a face looking at Deadpool and said.
"You, ever been tested for ADHD?"
"No, I've had some STDs though, maybe ADHD is the cause."
"What's with that fur?"
Some fur remained on Deadpool's head where the wig had been torn off. Deadpool touched the remaining wig fur on his head and answered.
"Ah~ This is, you know. When I'm a civilian, I wear a wig, but nobody knows."
"Hahaha... Who wouldn't know that?"
Wolverine laughed too, and Johnny also laughed hearing that. I also asked Wolverine something I was curious about.
"You know, I honestly don't understand. How many times have mutants saved the world? Not counting fights between mutants."
"Three times? Not sure. I clearly remember two times..."
"Yeah, they saved it like that, but ordinary people discriminate against mutants, go around massacring them, and when a really big crisis comes, what do they plan to do?"
"Well... I don't know either. Charles also spent his whole life trying to change mutants' perception but failed."
Johnny heard that and said.
"Humans fear what's different from themselves. Especially things they can't control."
Wolverine suddenly made a face, hit the table, and got up from his seat.
"Fuck, damn! Hoo..."
He seemed to recall bad memories. Wolverine silently went outside. Probably to get some air. I took out ice cream from my inventory and ate it. Then Johnny also came and asked for one, so I gave him one.
"It's been so long since I've had ice cream. I can at least get alcohol, but there's absolutely no ice cream, you know."
"How long have you been here?"
"About five years, I think."
Come to think of it, seeing the grime flowing from Johnny's neck, it seemed he hadn't been able to shower properly.
"I see, wait a moment."
I used [Life Magic] on Johnny to clean him up nicely.
"Whoa... So refreshing? Are you really a lamp genie? Can I make a wish too?"
"Stop it."
We rested at the restaurant and moved to the field to go to the resistance base. Wolverine asked why Wolverine died in the world where Deadpool was active.
"Why did Wolverine die in that world?"
"Technically, he died because a wooden dildo stake got stuck in his chest, but actually, his battery ran out while trying to save someone."
"Who?"
"The lab trash called her 'X-23', but she was just a kid. A young, prickly, more rebellious version of you. Anyway, he died saving her. A beautiful story, right? In my world, Wolverine was a hero."
"In my world, I'm nothing."
Then I intervened and said.
"To be precise, X-23 was created using Wolverine's genes. She was like a daughter. Wolverine acknowledged her as his daughter just before dying."
"Don't spoil!"
"Okay, okay."
Johnny also seemed to want to say something but stopped. He probably wanted to say that X-23 was at the resistance base, but hearing she was like a daughter, he decided not to say anything. Since we'd see her anyway when we go, he seemed to avoid talking now and ruining the mood.
Woof! Woof!
A dog barking sound came from far away, and an ugly small dog wearing a Deadpool suit came running toward us. Deadpool, completely smitten, smiled brightly, knelt down, and spread his arms. The dog jumped into Deadpool's embrace, and Deadpool picked up the dog and petted it.
"Adorable! Let's take him."
Seeing that, Johnny said.
"No way! That dog is wearing a Deadpool suit. There's something I haven't told you because you're here, but all Deadpools here are Cassandra Nova's subordinates. Except one."
"Really?"
Then suddenly someone shouted from the direction the dog came from.
"Sorry~!"
We looked in the direction of the sound. There, unlike existing Deadpools whose faces looked like avocado peels, a completely fine Deadpool was approaching with a bright smile.
At the news that all Deadpools were enemies, Wolverine tried to pull out his claws, but Johnny stopped him.
"Wait! He's not one. He's the one I mentioned. Nicepool."
"Thanks for the introduction, Johnny."
Deadpool looked at Nicepool's gold-plated gun in surprise and said.
"Is that a .50 caliber Desert Eagle gold-plated edition?"
"Correct. Matches the earrings."
"Can I have it?"
"Take it when I die. You make funny jokes. And you've met Mary Poppins, right? Aka 'Dogpool'."
Nicepool spoke while always maintaining a smile. Deadpool, as if something didn't sit right with him, looked at Nicepool with a skeptical gaze and petted Dogpool.
"Pet him carefully. 90% of his body is G-spots, so he reacts immediately."
Dogpool seemed to like Deadpool and started licking his face.
"You playboy! Looking away for a moment and you're already shopping for a new daddy?"
"You need responsibility to raise a unicorn like this."
"I have nothing to say. Your Highness, I won't do it again."
"Why are you so nice?"
"Being nice doesn't cost money, right?"
Hearing that, Wolverine spoke up.
"Are you all like that? Shutting your mouth doesn't cost money either."
"This is Logan. Normally has a default pissed-off attitude, but his body broke down after divorce. By the way, where's your mask?"
Nicepool was showing his whole face. He pointed to his fine face and said.
"What about this?"
"Damn..."
Deadpool seemed to regret asking. Then Johnny said.
"Guys, we have a long way to go!"
I took out the car I had bought in advance from my inventory. At the sight, Johnny said in surprise.
"Whoa! Are you really not a genie?"
"I told you I'm not. I just have the ability to store things."
Deadpool, seeing the car, seemed pleased and said.
"Oh~ This is the Wrangler I first sold."
"Yeah, I had it. Let's go, it's getting dark."
"Right."
Nicepool hurriedly approached us as we were about to get in the car and said.
"Wait! You have to return the dog."
"I know, but... if you ever want to give him up for adoption, or he needs a new home, or something happens to you, I'll be his daddy."
Deadpool seemed to like it too much and really didn't want to give up the dog.
"What could happen to me?"
"You never know?"
Nicepool gave Wolverine a look asking for help. Then Wolverine approached Deadpool and tried to take the dog away.
"Give him back!"
"No! I'm going to run away."
"Hand him over!"
"Damn..."
Finally, after a small scuffle, Wolverine took the dog and returned it to Nicepool.
"Fuck..."
Deadpool, filled with a sense of loss, bowed his head deeply and got in the vehicle. As we were about to depart, Nicepool smiled and waved goodbye. He seemed like a really good guy. He dies in the original, but I should save him. The world would be better with more guys like him.
"Hey! You have Squeaky, don't you?"
Deadpool opened the window and immediately threw Squeaky out of the car.
"Gasp! Squeaky..."
