NOVEL NEXT 108. Bottomless Universe.
"Have you been contaminated? Are you sure?" Alex looked at the cold-sweating Moon Knight, surprised.
"Yes... if you hadn't woken me up in time," Moon Knight replied fearfully. "Deadpool 'woke up' just now and continuously influenced my mind. He was about to succeed."
Moon Knight's voice was soft, but everyone present wasn't ordinary. They could clearly hear Moon Knight's words and the terrifying event he described, causing everyone except Alex to step back, trying to distance themselves from Deadpool's head. This small action seemed to bring them some sense of security.
"It seems that thing is even more troublesome than I imagined." Alex murmured, stroking his chin.
Originally, Alex intended to wake Deadpool's head and use a command from the comics to see if he could awaken the brainwashed Deadpool and communicate with him.
After all, the bizarre cocoon was summoned by a group of villains working together. Deadpool, brainwashed and transformed by them, naturally knew something about the ultimate goal of that thing. With Deadpool providing information, Alex might be able to resolve his doubts. But now, Alex hesitated to act rashly.
Deadpool was a huge source of pollution, even in his unconscious state.
Although Alex hadn't felt any mental pollution himself, he couldn't guarantee the safety of others. Even the god-powered Moon Knight got caught while fully focused, indicating how severe Deadpool's pollution was.
Alex had previously wondered if he couldn't be polluted because he didn't belong to this universe, making that thing's power unable to invade his mind. But now, with Kara's precedent, Alex wasn't so sure.
After all, Kara also didn't belong to this universe; she wasn't even part of the 'Marvel Multiverse.' Yet, she was still heavily polluted. Though it seemed like a minor injury, a steel body being cut by Deadpool's blade proved Kara was close to death.
According to the comic plot, after villains transformed Deadpool and merged him with Ultron, even Kara might not withstand Deadpool's attacks. Shaking his head helplessly, Alex waved his hand, instantly enveloping Deadpool's head in dark green magical energy. The energy gradually solidified, forming a delicate box, sealing Deadpool inside.
Then, Alex silently called out to Miss Minutes, asking her to open his personal 'Bottomless Universe.' Without hesitation, Alex threw the box into that world through a portal.
After doing all this, Alex explained, "My magic can limit Deadpool's healing factor. He might not die but can never escape. I'm not sure if magic can cut off the pollution, so I had to send him to a world without any matter or laws."
Alex had considered throwing this major pollution source into another world, but quickly dismissed the idea. While throwing it out would solve the immediate problem, it would destroy another innocent multiverse. Moreover, putting Deadpool in another world wouldn't solve the issue, as the strange cocoon born in darkness still parasitized this timeline. Cutting off the pollution was merely a temporary measure.
However, Alex soon thought of his personal universe, a vast, immeasurable place without any laws or life. Before he started putting things there, it contained no matter.
In that place, there was no concept of 'time' or 'space.' Without a medium, there was no 'pollution.'
Putting the box containing Deadpool's head into that universe was like throwing a small stone into an abyss, causing no ripples, which relieved Alex.
But now, the pile of gold coins sponsored by Batman was unusable. Alex didn't know if those coins were polluted and didn't dare to take the risk. If they were indeed polluted, they'd become genuine 'cursed coins.'
For Alex, his actions seemed normal, but to others, his smooth operation was no less than playing cards with Eternity and Death in front of them.
"You... you have a universe of your own?!" Moon Knight stammered, realizing today's surprises might outnumber all he'd experienced before.
Actually, it's two.
John added silently, not forgetting their 17 years in a pure material universe without any magical energy. Alex treated that universe like his backyard, moving freely and extracting energy at will. However, John didn't show it. Any dimensional lord wouldn't reveal their controlled domains. It's a big taboo for wizards. John still hoped to steal some energy from Alex's dimensions in the future, so he wouldn't offend him.
"Something like that." Alex didn't deny it. He looked up at the others present. "Anyway, Deadpool's trouble is resolved, but the issue is far from over. The most important thing now is to figure out the origin of that thing."
Hearing Alex, Moon Knight tilted his head slightly and took out a phone from his pocket. "Maybe I know who to find."
Seeing Moon Knight's action, Alex understood his intention. When he, Moon Knight, and Punisher first met, Moon Knight received information from Gwenpool that the villains, including Red Skull, were involved in Deadpool's condition.
"I've dealt with those people many times, but their exact location is still unknown. Give me some time, and I can find it out." Moon Knight said seriously, holding his phone.
Alex pondered briefly, then shook his head slowly and said, "No need. I'll investigate those people. You should contact the remaining superheroes immediately. No one else should be polluted like Deadpool. They also need to understand how serious this situation is!"
