109. The Remaining Avengers.
109. The Remaining Avengers.
Deadpool's actions were swift, or rather, his killing spree was much faster than most had imagined. Although Alex had arranged for Kara and Pietro to stop Deadpool as soon as he learned about it, they were still a step too late. The number of persecuted superheroes was far greater than anticipated.
According to the information returned by Cable and Moon Knight, Deadpool's original teammates—the Mercs for Money—had already been secretly wiped out by Deadpool.
The Mercs for Money was a super team founded by Deadpool, comprised of a group of freelance mercenaries. However, now all of them, including Mexican Deadpool and Outlaw, had died at the hands of their former captain, Deadpool.
Executed along with them were the mutant Domino and some members of the Thunderbolts. According to the only severely injured survivor, Gorilla-Man, Deadpool had sent them a message, asking them to gather there. They thought Deadpool had a new mission or was in trouble and needed help from old friends. But to their surprise, as soon as they arrived, they were ambushed by Deadpool.
Fully armed, Deadpool killed several high-end combatants in an instant. Since Deadpool was too familiar with them, their strengths and weaknesses were as transparent as glass to him. Soon, one by one, they all died at Deadpool's hands.
As for Gorilla-Man, he survived thanks to his curse. When he was still human, he was cursed for killing a gorilla, transforming him into one. This curse transferred to him, meaning whoever killed him would also become a gorilla. Deadpool, well aware of this, left him half-dead and locked him in the basement to die slowly.
Apart from these people, various Spider-Men were also targeted by the rampaging Deadpool. Despite Jessica Jones and Hawkeye Kate Bishop fighting with all their might, they couldn't stop Deadpool, who was using Osborne tech.
Under Deadpool's near-mad attacks, they could only watch as Miles Morales and Ghost-Spider died in front of them, while Deadpool swaggered away on the Green Goblin's glider. After all this, with the villains' help, Deadpool set his sights further. Before being subdued by Kara, Deadpool's last massacre targeted the X-Men. Including Cyclops, Emma Frost, Jubilee, and Iceman, none escaped Deadpool's assault.
When this news reached the Avengers, the remaining superheroes fell into silence. Captain America, Sam Wilson, looked grim. He hadn't expected things to escalate so quickly. After receiving the information that Deadpool was the culprit behind the hero massacres, he immediately ordered other heroes to unite and for lone heroes to be more cautious.
In his initial plan, Deadpool was just a troublesome character. As long as other heroes were prepared, Deadpool would have no opportunity to continue his killing spree. He had intended to use this time to gather intelligence on the villains to investigate how they brainwashed and controlled Deadpool. But he hadn't anticipated that things would spiral out of control so quickly. Before he could gather any intelligence on the villains, heroes were being slaughtered one by one by Deadpool.
At this moment, every superhero team across the country had been decimated by Deadpool, leaving only a fraction surviving. If not for Kara's speed, even the teenage superhero team, the Young Avengers, would have been doomed.
"We can't go on like this!" Ant-Man stood up, breaking the silence. "We must quickly take action to resolve the Deadpool issue, or we'll suffer more sacrifices!"
"It's impossible. Deadpool can teleport at will. It's too hard to catch him. We don't know his current location." Cable sighed.
"Can't we track him through the network? Vision can monitor the internet. If Deadpool appears in this world, he can't leave no trace. Besides, Doctor Strange should have a way to counter Deadpool's teleportation. If we can trap him, we can end this." Ant-Man suggested.
"It's not that easy. Ultron's data has been activated, combined with Zola's interference, making it impossible to monitor all networks. I've contacted Doctor Strange several times, but he hasn't responded. We must prepare for the worst." Captain America shook his head.
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Scarlet Witch, who hadn't spoken, suddenly stood up.
"I came here to avenge Pietro, not to watch you all fall into despair. I respect you as my seniors, but if you can't come up with a plan, don't blame me for using my methods."
Hearing Scarlet Witch's cold words, everyone could feel her teetering on the edge of rage.
"Wanda, calm down first. We share the same goal: avenging our loved ones. But before that, we must devise a foolproof plan, or we'll end up in danger ourselves." Captain America said solemnly.
"Yes, Wanda." Black Panther chimed in. "We don't know how many supervillains are involved in this conspiracy. If we act rashly and get ambushed, we..."
"Don't give me that crap!" Wanda rudely interrupted Black Panther. "You're afraid of dying; I'm not. I just want those bastards to pay."
"Wanda..." Vision hesitated, then quietly stood by her side.
Scarlet Witch walked to the front, glanced around, and tears began to fall.
"I don't care if Deadpool is innocent or how many villains are involved in this conspiracy. I just want you to give me a viable plan, not leave me doing nothing but wait here. That's all I ask!"
Zzz!
Zzz—
At that moment, a series of intermittent electromagnetic noises sounded.
After a moment of surprise, everyone quickly reacted, turning to the source of the sound to see the Avengers' meeting room screen light up.
Not just the conference room screen; smart phones, smart TVs, computers, even street screens in New York were affected. After flickering twice, a short-haired girl with an 'S' emblem on her chest appeared on the screen.
