Deadpool opened his eyes with a sense of bewilderment, looking down at his glowing belt, burping. He found himself in a grand temple.
In the haze, Deadpool felt like he was dreaming. After all, how could he end up in a temple straight from a bar if it wasn't a dream?
With this mindset, Deadpool examined every object in the temple as if he were a tourist— the towering Roman columns, the candlesticks with raging flames, and the gorgeous fountain at the center of the hall, all of which marveled him.
But just as he turned to look out the window, he realized that it wasn't a green lawn or forest outside, rather, it was a starry sky.
He walked over, pressing his face against the glass, leaving his facial features flattened against it. Suddenly, Deadpool widened his eyes. He discovered that the twinkling stars outside were not planets but a wide array of cosmos, each containing everything imaginable.
Isn't this the highest location in the cosmos that the psychologist talked about?
Deadpool suddenly snapped out of it, but then he thought, it's just a dream, perhaps due to his desperation to fulfill his orders, hence leading to such a dream.
Since he had no idea when he could complete his missions in reality, why not have some fun in his dream? With this in mind, Deadpool began to feel around his pockets.
Then he realized that he couldn't bring the surprise he'd prepared from reality into his dream. But Deadpool wouldn't retreat due to a minor setback. If he couldn't bring the surprise here, he could produce one right here.
He reached into the pockets of his pants and shirt, pulling out a half-cooked bread crab. Not only that, he found some moldy peanuts in his pants pocket, kelp stuck in the side of his boots, and even some mosquitoes killed by smoke within the gap of his mask.
There's no need for logic in dreams, Deadpool thought, clutching the bread crab and started munching. He neither had a sense of taste nor smell, so eating these things was not a challenge for him.
Of course, just like before, after consuming everything, Deadpool quickly started to feel a stomachache.
Realizing that his plan was working, Deadpool's eyes instantly lit up, and he began to look around the temple.
"Let's see... Floor tiles wouldn't work, too shabby. Plus, these tiles are too shiny, unlike the patterned ones the Dwarf was using, the smell wouldn't last... "
"Roman columns? Too tall, the scent would dissipate easily. Benches? Hard to strike a pose. Steps? It would be nice to make someone step on it, but the trap seems too obvious... Oh, my stomach hurts so much... "
"Oh? This fountain isn't bad! The size and height are perfect, it's like it was made just for me. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Bloop Bloop... Bang Bang... Bloop Bloop... Much better!"
"Wait! Why is it still not working? Could it be that the bread crab was too rotten... Oh my... Oh my... I have no time, let's go on the floor tiles... "
"My stomach!! Why does it hurt so much?! Beep... beep... Alright, I'll settle for the Roman columns... Bloop Bloop Bloop Bang Bang Bang... "
When the whole temple was in a disastrous state, Deadpool finally pulled up his pants satisfied, revealing a relieved expression, saying: "Finally done... "
"Wait, if I am dreaming right now, did I just shit in the bar???? "
"No!!! That's the only place where I can drink for free!! Hurry, wake up! I have to clean up the mess before the bartender is back!!!! "
With a "whoosh", the light flashes on his belt, and Deadpool disappeared from the temple.
And Eternity, who just returned home after a long day, found his Cosmic Temple turned into a Mountain of Feces.
When the entire Multiverse was detached from the main cosmos, it symbolized that it would no longer be controlled by the OAA. Or rather, it would not solely be under the OAA's jurisdiction, with other wills stepping in to govern it.
Normally, a cosmos is only detached from the main one if there is a new 'owner' ready to take over its management. However, the unique aspect of the Multiverse Shiller resides in is that it hasn't reached any copyright agreement nor is there any other supreme entity ready to take its reins.
Since the OAA didn't want to create a copyright dispute and gave up on managing this cosmos, theoretically, Eternity became the highest Manager of this no man's land cosmos.
Shiller originally intended to cause trouble for the OAA because he was aware that if he wanted extra compensation, seeking help from programmers wouldn't do. Instead, he needed to approach the chief coordinator. However, because the OAA made a quick exit, it was no longer the project's planner.
Generally, when a gaming project is handed over to another company, a new planner steps in. But Shiller's Multiverse wasn't handed over — it was literally kicked out. Therefore, no one parachuted in to assume the role of the new planner allowing the previously highest-ranking entity to ascend to the role.
Eternity honorably assumed this responsibility. Although he was as yet unaware, as the fundamental essence of the cosmos, he had, by definition, taken on the role of the chief coordinator and was about to gain control, becoming the supreme entity of this cosmos.
Deadpool's Plot Continuity Stone translated his intention into reality. Coupled with Deadpool's teleportation belt, it directly transported him to the supreme entity of this cosmos.
Originally it would have been the OAA, but now it was Eternity.
Due to the sudden transition, Deadpool thought he was dreaming while drunk and prepared to give full reign to his power in his dream to take revenge for his good friend, Little Spider. He therefore went on a reckless rampage, which nearly drove Eternity to madness.
'Crap' or 'excrement' is universally repulsive to any intelligent life form with personality. They instinctively reject the odor of faeces. Eternity was no exception.
Suffice to say, no one can tolerate their home being flooded under a mountain of faeces. Eternity was angrily taken aback.
Typically, when an all-knowing, omnipotent being wants to investigate an event, there are two methods: one, move along the timeline to view future events and two, enquire into cause and effect, determining what the cause was that led to current consequences.
Eternity's initial attempt was the first method, but his investigation didn't include the Plot Continuity Stone. As such, he could only retrace time back to when Deadpool was wreaking havoc in his home.
Watching a figure in a red and black costume defecating all over his home caused Eternity's blood pressure to soar. He then began investigating cause and effect, but it also didn't include the Plot Continuity Stone. Any attempt to get information regarding this stone would draw a blank.
Investigating for a long time and unable to find anything except Deadpool's appearance infuriated Eternity to the extreme.
At another location in the cosmos, Captain Universe Spider-Man was surveying the battlefield. He turned to Amazing Spider-Man behind him and said:
"At a guess, Solus sustained over ten thousand strikes. He didn't die peacefully." Captain Universe glanced around again, remarking,"These scattered energy shards must be what they failed to pick up after chopping."
Amazing Spider-Man hesitated a moment before voicing, "So, he's dead beyond redemption?"
"If I'm not mistaken, not only did they chop him into pieces, but they also took away the large chunks of the corpse they could. Not a pretty picture... but he's definitely dead for sure." Captain Universe Spider-Man replied with a nod.
"If that's the case, we can set our worries aside for now. Let's get back; we have casualties to tend to..."
Right when Amazing Spider-Man left off, Captain Universe Spider-Man abruptly interrupted, "Oh, sorry. Eternity sent me a message. He wants me to get over there quickly."
Amazing Spider-Man gestured with his hand, "Go ahead. Don't bother coming back if you're swamped with work. Leave handling casualties to us. Once we've managed the situation, we should all return to our respective cosmoses, too."
Captain Universe Spider-Man nodded and disappeared in an instant. Amazing Spider-Man glanced around, realizing there wasn't much left to investigate here, so he waved at the other Spider-Men.
"Let's head back..."
Just as they were about to depart, Captain Universe Spider-Man suddenly materialized, urgently shouting, "Hurry!! Get all the Spider-Men to search for a person!! Search!!"
"Search for who?" the clueless Amazing Spider-Man queried.
"Deadpool! A Deadpool from a certain cosmos! Eternity says it's a strange man in a tight red and black suit... he... he... blugh..." Captain Universe Spider-Man gagged. Clearly, he was also hit hard by the unpalatable odor.
Several Spider-Men frowned among the group behind Amazing Spider-Man. Amazing Spider-Man took the lead in asking, "Look for Deadpool? Why him? How could Deadpool know Eternity?"
"He... he..." Captain Universe Spider-Man had an incredibly complicated expression — shocked yet nauseated, disgusted yet awed, and extremely reverent at the same time.
