American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

111. Timeline Off Course.

People started seeing Kara as a hero of the people. A vigilante—trying to avenge the beloved heroes who had been brutally murdered. Kara seemed invincible; her revenge was more intense than the destruction caused by the villains. This young girl always precisely killed her targets, with no one able to escape her judgment or confront her head-on.

Since her first appearance in the public eye, she had never lost. Any criminal trying to eliminate her ended up being pulverized by her mighty iron fists. There would be no more mercy. Perhaps, as Kara said, once the supervillains crossed that red line, things had slipped out of the hands of the big players.

Some speculated that Kara was an incarnation of a deity, while others said she was a vengeful goddess created by the crimes of those villains. But everyone knew this ruthless girl was a monster released by the villains themselves.

"Stay calm, ladies and gentlemen. Stay calm."

In a Hydra stronghold, the usually dim and quiet office was now bustling like a marketplace. Red Skull was tiredly trying to soothe the other supervillains participating in the video conference. Kara's actions had repeatedly shaken these villains, making each of them live in constant fear due to her brutal massacres.

"Are you kidding, Skull?"

"Would you dare say that in front of her? She's slaughtering us! Slaughtering!"

"This was your idea! Now Deadpool is missing, and there's an unstoppable, merciless madwoman. How can we stay calm!?"

"Yes, it's tragic." Red Skull crossed his hands and sighed heavily. "I must admit, that girl's strength exceeded our expectations. But I've arranged for my most trusted ally to deal with her. Rest assured, gentlemen, everything is under control."

"It better be, Skull, or I swear I'll drag you down with me!"

That night, Kara's battle with the Champion of Hydra collapsed three islands, causing an unrepairable flood on the west coast of England. According to later statistics, the impact and economic damage from this fight reached a historic high. But unlike Kara, who was enjoying the fight outside, Alex was leisurely enjoying a peaceful time in his Brooklyn villa, seemingly unconcerned about the external turmoil.

The TV was broadcasting news about Kara. Clearly, the deeds of the Vengeful Goddess had become the mainstream news, with almost everyone worldwide focusing on this girl named Kara.

"The Champion of Hydra is surprisingly strong. I thought he'd perished in the sea, but Red Skull secretly recruited him. If Kara hadn't intervened, who knew Hydra had such a hidden card?" Alex said while sipping tea.

Unlike the relaxed Alex, Moon Knight was visibly anxious. He didn't know Alex's plan. Since he notified the Avengers about Deadpool and the terrifying entity behind him, the heroes had all 'hidden.'

According to Captain America, they were preparing for a self-examination. Cognitive alteration was extremely terrifying, making anyone whose mind was polluted a ticking time bomb. So, upon receiving the intelligence, the heroes immediately took precautions to check if they had been compromised.

What they found was startling. Almost half of the remaining superheroes, including Captain America, had been somewhat affected. Some had cognitive disorders, some had inexplicably become colorblind, and others had memory gaps.

These were just the known heroes. For SHIELD agents, the results were even more dire. The scariest part was that SHIELD's intelligence and mission archives had been invaded and maliciously altered or deleted, leaving large 'historical blanks' in the files. The frightening thing was that no one noticed these flaws before, not even Nick Fury.

Learning these conclusions, the heroes were plunged into unprecedented fear of the unknown. In such a state, they didn't know what to do, let alone deal with the slaughtered villains. But Moon Knight was different. He wanted to solve the problem quickly, but he didn't know Alex's plan. Alex sending Kara to confront the villain alliance might cause even more chaos, which worried Moon Knight the most.

"It's been nearly half a month. Are we just going to do nothing? Red Skull isn't simple; the power behind him likely has grand ambitions. Kara's actions might make things irreparable."

"Desperate times call for desperate measures, Moon Knight. You should understand that." Alex shifted his gaze from the TV to Moon Knight's face and continued, "I'm about to understand the purpose of that entity."

"Really!?" Moon Knight's eyes widened.

"Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Kara test the waters. In hindsight, everything is falling into place." Alex didn't elaborate further.

In his mind, Alex recalled the original work. In "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe: Returns," Deadpool slaughtered the superheroes with unbeatable force. Similarly, when awakened by Gwenpool and turned to slaughter villains, he faced no resistance.

All powerful villains seemed like weaklings before him. Even seasoned warriors like Crossbones and the Hand Master couldn't last three rounds against him, clearly surpassing Deadpool's usual combat ability. When Deadpool finally decapitated Red Skull, Red Skull said something intriguing.

"The age of heroes is over!"

It all seemed part of Red Skull's plan. Not only did he let Deadpool kill the heroes, but Deadpool slaughtering villains was also within his expectations. He mocked Deadpool, claiming they were ending the world together. From this, Alex sensed something but couldn't be sure.

Until Miss Minutes suddenly appeared, telling Alex that this timeline was undergoing inevitable changes, with chaotic reality deviating towards another developing timeline.

And that timeline—

Was the main 616 universe!
