107. Caught Again.
Alex withdrew his hand and sighed. "That thing's influence on reality is far more severe than I thought. I initially believed its main threat was spreading pollution in the ntal world, altering people's rationality and perception, but I didn't expect it could go this far."
"You an the wound has nothing to do with Deadpool but is influenced by that thing?" Moon Knight murmured as he gazed at Kara's shoulder wound, which was almost healed.
"Yes and no. This wound 'appeared out of thin air.' In other words, Deadpool couldn't have hard Kara originally, but under the influence of that thing's pollution, Kara herself 'believed' Deadpool's blade could hurt her, so it did leave a wound on you."
Alex's words stunned everyone present.
"What?!" Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Alex.
Being injured because you believed you were hurt — this terrifying modification of reality was beyond their comprehension.
"That's impossible!" Pietro exclaid, astonished. "Can re cognitive pollution break the laws of physics? That's sothing impossible to achieve!"
"But it happened, didn't it?" Alex moved to the table, tapping a stack of files.
"These were found by Mr. Moon Knight in Deadpool's safe house, recording most heroes' weaknesses. But to my knowledge, so heroes can't be killed just by knowing their weaknesses, like Luke Cage or Doctor Voodoo. They are not opponents Deadpool could defeat."
"But they still died at Deadpool's hands," Moon Knight said, narrowing his eyes.
Luke Cage's physical strength was terrifyingly strong, killing him wasn't easy, let alone Deadpool, whose main combat power ca from guns and knives. In a frontal battle, Deadpool wouldn't last a round against Luke Cage. The only way to kill Luke Cage would be to poison him, attacking from the inside, but even if Deadpool could kill Luke Cage this way, he would never be able to defeat Doctor Voodoo.
Given Doctor Voodoo's magical abilities, he could survive even after death through his soul. Yet, from the cri scene of the Avengers' joint team, it was clear that after being slashed by Deadpool, Doctor Voodoo never got up again.
"This indicates that Deadpool is currently a huge source of pollution, unintentionally spreading cognitive distortions. I suspect this is why this universe is nearing destruction," Alex said, frowning. "But I still can't figure out that entity's true purpose."
Everyone fell silent, then simultaneously turned their eyes to the head placed on the table.
"Yoo-hoo~"
Deadpool's eyes opened.
"Guess who just woke up from a short nap~!"
Seeing Deadpool's antics, everyone's expressions remained cold. After Deadpool's many killings, no one was in the mood to entertain his antics. Even John, though a minor villain always worried about being hunted by demon hunters or superheroes, had his limits. This was important to him.
Whether hero or villain, everyone had their limits. Heroes sotis did bad things, and villains sotis saved the world. But Deadpool, the current Deadpool, had completely crossed that line.
"Deadpool, what happened to you? Who turned you into this?" Moon Knight stepped forward, crouching down to et Deadpool's eyes.
"Ahaha~ Moonboy, is this a sleepover party just for ? I really like it~ Especially since you invited my favorite Supergirl. Isn't she a delight~"
"Enough!" Moon Knight interrupted Deadpool roughly. "I'm trying to help you, Deadpool. I saw the ssage you left us in the safe house. At least tell us who did this to you and what their goal is."
Facing the aggressive Moon Knight, Deadpool's grin only grew wilder as he laughed maniacally. "Soone is trying to drive a wedge between you and your friends! Moonman, Khonshu is not your friend; you must resist and break free from the spell's control!"
"What are you talking about?! You're not here, are you?" Moon Knight clenched his fists. For so reason, Deadpool's words sent a chilling sensation through him and raised a strong sense of crisis.
"Break free from the power, Marc, you can do it," Deadpool whispered seductively, a crazed smile on his face.
"What are you... what are you saying?"
A suffocating sensation suddenly hit Moon Knight, freezing him in place. He found it hard to breathe, and the divine power flowing within him began to boil uncontrollably.
"...Let go... you are free now."
Deadpool's expression turned serious, and he spoke word by word.
"...Khonshu's spell can't control you anymore."
Slap—
A hand landed quickly on Moon Knight's shoulder, jolting him back to his senses.
"What's wrong?" Alex asked curiously, patting Moon Knight's shoulder.
Previously, everyone had been watching Deadpool's head, knowing he wasn't dead yet but not ready to engage with him, fearing the entity behind the scenes might be watching them through Deadpool's eyes.
But then Alex noticed sothing wrong with Moon Knight. He seed too focused on Deadpool, almost 'entranced.' Moreover, his divine power was fluctuating unnaturally, quickly catching Alex's attention.
Feeling the real touch of Alex's hand, Moon Knight broke into a cold sweat. He was amazed that Alex could stabilize the divine power within him with just a touch and 'wake him up,' and he was also shocked by the terrifying power of cognitive pollution.
He turned to stare at Deadpool's unconscious head, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts.
"I... I got caught again..."
