626. Unknown World.
How could Deadpool have any connection with the TVA?
In Alex's mind, these two groups should have nothing to do with each other—even in the comics, Deadpool never had any interaction with them.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Marvel series Loki introducing the Ti Variant Authority, many people might have forgotten there was even such a group managing tilines outside the main one.
Alex gently lifted his head, staring at the streaks of sunlight piercing through the tree canopy above.
The TVA showing up here was definitely no coincidence. Although Alex wanted to find excuses to explain the current situation, he knew deep down this tiline was no longer the familiar X-n universe.
Looking down at Pierce lying on his back beneath him, Alex asked, "Now, tell exactly where Deadpool went. I don't want to ask this again."
Pierce gasped for breath but nodded.
He was already terrified. He had never encountered anything so strange before—the man in front of him and the group that had just appeared were clearly not mutants, but so unknown existence.
To save his life, Pierce didn't hesitate to answer Alex's question.
"Deadpool was taken away by a group of people. I saw it with my own eyes, just monts ago. We've been chasing Wade Wilson—that's who you call Deadpool—this whole ti."
"I know who Deadpool is. Keep talking." Alex stared at Pierce.
Pierce sat up and said solemnly, "I don't know what those people are. I only know they wore very advanced gear, steel helts, and strange masks. They have the ability to pause ti."
"Pause ti? Are you sure?" Alex frowned.
"Pausing ti is impossible. Even if I try my hardest, I can't truly pause ti in an absolute sense. If ti is paused, then all matter would be frozen, including light and sound. That ans if ti were paused, you wouldn't see or hear anything at all."
"It's not exactly pausing ti—it's more like stopping or slowing down the ti on our bodies. The bullets I fired were even slower than a normal walking pace, and our movents were restricted, becoming extrely slow. But our brains were still running at normal ti speed," Pierce thought for a mont and said.
"If that's the case, it actually sounds reasonable."
Alex nodded thoughtfully. Manipulating ti was the TVA's specialty—they could use technology above the tiline level to control the flow of ti within it. This was quite similar to Alex's previous operations in the Zombie Hero Universe.
Although both greatly slowed down everyone's bodily ti flow, achieving a near ti-stop effect, the difference was that Alex used magical energy while the TVA used technology.
After pondering a mont, Alex continued, "What else did they say? I need all the intel on what happened after those people arrived."
"Wait, don't you have telepathic powers like Charles? Your voice just appeared in my mind. Why didn't you just read my mories directly?" Pierce couldn't help but ask.
"Do you think I didn't want to?" Alex rolled his eyes. "To suppress the power of the Ti Reset Device, I've mobilized a huge amount of energy, and it hasn't settled yet. If I forcibly read your mories now, your brain probably wouldn't be able to handle it."
Hearing that, Pierce quickly moved back a bit, trying to keep his distance. After a pause, he continued, "I don't know who they are. They called themselves TVA law enforcent officers. Their armor had an orange symbol—the letters 'TVA'. They appeared suddenly, ca straight to take Deadpool, and sohow knew everything about ."
That wasn't surprising. Since the TVA showed up here, it ant everything in this universe was under their surveillance. Not only Pierce, but even his experiences in alternate universes were known to the TVA.
"Oh, right."
Pierce suddenly rembered sothing and said urgently, "Their weapons were strange sticks with glowing parts on top. I suspect they were laser weapons, but they didn't use them. Also, when they left, they opened an orange portal."
"A rectangular, semi-transparent portal?" Alex's gaze sharpened.
"That's right, exactly that!" Pierce quickly replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alex felt everything around him suddenly quiet down.
A terrifying but highly plausible theory sprang up in his mind—one that could perfectly explain the current situation: the X-n movie universe had been absorbed into the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
It was like missing the forest for the trees.
Before this, Alex had been wondering why the TVA would appear in this place at all.
After all, before he traveled here, Loki had just transcended the multiverse level and beco the story god controlling all tilines. The TVA had always operated only within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, never involving other worlds.
But then Alex suddenly realized sothing. Before he traveled, Disney had already successfully acquired Fox. That ant, with a reasonable excuse, the X-n universe could easily be rged into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
After all, in Doctor Strange 2 and WandaVision, mbers of Fox's X-n appeared as easter eggs and setups. So it wasn't impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
"Is this also a kind of contamination?"
Alex frowned tightly, feeling a slight tension growing inside.
If things really were as he suspected, then the trouble would be huge.
For a long ti, Alex's greatest strength had been his knowledge of various universes. He was well aware of many cosmic matters, which gave him the ti and ans to prepare in advance.
But now, things were different. For what was about to happen, he had absolutely no preparation.
"So this ti, I can only rely on my brain, huh."
Alex narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the unrest in his heart behind a calm expression.
"Master, that's all I know." Seeing Alex remain silent, Pierce didn't dare to act rashly.
Hearing this, Alex snapped back to reality. He looked down at Pierce and nodded lightly. "That's none of your concern anymore. Let's go."
"Really?" Pierce's eyes widened. To be honest, he never expected this man before him to actually spare his life.
Although he didn't know who this guy was, when he saw Petra, Pierce already knew his chances were slim. His hands were stained with the blood of countless mutants, and Petra would never let him go.
And Petra had clearly now joined forces with this man. Pierce was ntally prepared to be killed.
Alex glanced at Pierce but didn't answer. Instead, he casually waved his hand, as if dismissing him.
Seeing Alex's gesture, Pierce felt a huge relief. He quickly got up and ran off without even bothering to pick up his weapon, afraid Alex would change his mind.
So of the rcenaries who were still conscious saw Pierce run and hurried to follow his footsteps, leaving only the unconscious ones collapsed on the ground.
Alex watched Pierce's figure disappear into the distance, then ca over to Petra's side. "If you want, you can go after them and kill them. I won't stop you."
Hearing this, Petra looked at Alex in surprise. A faint light flickered in her eyes, but she soon lowered her gaze.
"Forget it," she sighed, teeth clenched.
"If it were the old , I'd have killed him in the most extre way. But now, none of this matters anymore. This world is already dood."
Alex tilted his head, looking at Petra.
She continued, "Just now, I heard you shout 'Ti Resetter.' You must an that little gadget in your hand. Though I don't know what it is exactly, that destructive energy isn't sothing to joke about."
After speaking, Petra looked up again and asked, "Mr. Crow, tell honestly — is this thing's purpose really to completely destroy our world?"
Silent in the shadows, a breeze stirred the branches and leaves of the forest. As they swayed, a ray of sunlight shone directly onto Alex's right shoulder, spreading down to his left waist.
After a long pause, Alex finally moved. He didn't deny it but slowly nodded.
"The Ti Resetter, as its na suggests, is a device that restarts the tiline. Once it detonates, everyone in this world will disappear."
"So, for those gods, our world is basically dispensable," Petra said bitterly, her smile filled with sorrow and desolation. But she quickly suppressed these emotions.
Looking seriously at Alex's face, Petra said, "Mr. Crow, this so-called TVA is probably the real reason for your trip here, isn't it?"
"It wasn't originally, but now, it is."
Alex's original target had been Deadpool, but since all this happened and Deadpool was taken away, he now directly pointed his focus at the TVA.
"Well then."
Petra bowed humbly, dropping to one knee. Eyes fixed on Alex's feet, she said each word carefully:"As a mber of the X-n reserves, please allow to lend you my strength."
