〜Jujutsu Kaisen World〜
Sukuna had a look of distress on his face. He was clearly terrible at this kind of question. Compared to answering questions, he felt it would be much easier to just slaughter his way through Jujutsu High.
What did he know about saviors? He held life in the absolute highest contempt; in his eyes, how were humans any different from ants?
Thousands of years ago, those guys who stood up for humanity and fought him could probably be considered saviors, right?
Weren't they all chopped to death by him in the end?
Sukuna had always sneered at the concept of a savior. However, since this was related to a reward, he chose to be a bit more rigorous. After all, that was a reward that the entire Myriad Realms yearned for.
Then… Sukuna looked at the four options in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Captain America, who looked righteous and awe-inspiring?
The purple-skinned alien, Thanos?
The completely mad, utterly insane Deadpool?
Or that beast-like Wolverine?
Sukuna smiled knowingly and made his choice.

〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜
Deep in the starry sea, a massive cosmic warship lay anchored.
Thanos stared at his own name among the choices, a trace of cloudiness suddenly appearing in his eyes.
So that's how it is…
Everything he had done was finally going to be exposed. Saving the universe—saving this universe in another way.
Ununderstood, obstructed, loathed, hated, resented—
But he was the true savior!
He had no desire to speak of what he did, and no one would believe him anyway, but now, the answer would explain everything!
At this moment, all glory belonged to… him, Thanos!
An indescribable emotion welled up in his heart. Even Thanos himself hadn't realized how much he craved validation.

At the same time, the countdown ended, and the answers of the three participants appeared on the screen:
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Peter Parker (Earth-616): "Captain America" ]
[ Thor Odinson (Earth-616): "Captain America" ]
[ Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Captain America" ]
[ Ding! All three answered incorrectly. The correct answer is—Deadpool. ]
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The moment they saw the answer, everyone was dumbfounded. Was this story related to the post-credits scene from last time?
No, impossible. They had already watched the entire event last time; there was no value in watching it again.
Which meant… Deadpool had saved the world yet again?
An absurdity rose in everyone's hearts. In the Avengers, Steve Roger slumped to the ground, while Thor was absolutely furious.
Last time, Deadpool pinching his nose and suffocating him to death had already brought unprecedented humiliation to all of Asgard. Was this kind of humiliation about to happen again?!!!
.....
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Thanos (Earth-616): "No… No! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! How could it be that guy! How could that lunatic save the world! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" ]
[ Steve Roger (Earth-616): "…What about me?" ]
[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Pfft-hahahahahahaha! Are you guys idiots? Couldn't you even guess it right with a one-in-four chance? You guys are brain-dead, hahahahaha!" ]
[ Wolverine (Earth-???): "Heh, is this going to be another 'Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe' to save the world in some twisted way?" ]
[ Peter Parker (Earth-616): "Oh, brother! I knew you could do it!" ]
[ Deadpool (Earth-10005): "Absolutely, little bro, hahahahaha!" ]
[ Hulk (Earth-616): "Hulk doesn't like red pool guy." ]
[ Death (Soul Eater): "I'm actually liking this child more and more. Isn't he just adorable?" ]
[ Li Huowang (Dao of the Bizarre Immortal): "Exactly! I absolutely love this kind of red, crazy guy!" ]
[ .....]
Amidst the fierce clamor of the crowd, the screen slowly began to play.
『 Deadpool was originally a special forces soldier, but he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. To cure it, Deadpool chose to participate in the Weapon X program and became one of its test subjects!
Although his cancer was cured after being injected with Wolverine's genes, it caused his brain cells to grow excessively, making him go completely mad.
Furthermore, because his regeneration ability constantly clashed with the cancer cells, his face was disfigured, and his body was covered in scars.
Later, because he was loved by Death, one of the five cosmic entities, he was cursed with immortality by Thanos! 』
『 .....』
〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜
Everyone felt a wave of absurdity.
No… what did one of the five cosmic entities see in Deadpool?
Did she like his face that looked like an anus? Or his mouth that was just as filthy?
Quite a few beings knew that when Deadpool participated in the experiment, he constantly hovered between life and death and met Death, one of the five great gods. Deadpool had fallen in love with Death at first sight back then.
But what shocked them was that Death actually fell in love with Deadpool?
Though speechless, this was the reality. But seeing this, everyone also gained an understanding of Deadpool's regenerative ability—he simply couldn't die.
His own regeneration combined with Thanos's curse, and possibly even the protection of Death, one of the five great gods… with so many buffs, how could Deadpool possibly die?
〜Marvel Comics Universe, Earth-616〜
Meanwhile, aboard the cosmic warship, Thanos's face was already red with rage.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he swore he would rip Deadpool apart with his bare hands!
—
〜Naruto World〜
A blessing from a god? Orochimaru licked his dry lips, his eyes full of desire.
Simply put, a blessing from a god meant making an existence different from ordinary people, right?
Orochimaru immediately thought of his own world. The gap between commoner disciples and those who were born with bloodline limits like the Uchiha and Hyuga… perhaps that gap was a blessing from a god.
"This is truly unfair… but the world has never been fair to begin with~"
—
『 Earth- 616, Avengers Tower—
Wade Wilson, Deadpool, was nervously rubbing his hands together like a fly, speaking with some anxiety. "I've really waited a long time for this moment. Thank you for agreeing to see me, sir."
Dressed in a suit, a smile squeezed onto Wade's anus-like face. "I… I've always believed that I can make an outstanding contribution to your company."
"Please allow me to join the Avengers!" Deadpool pleaded with Happy, who stood before him.
"Oh, you're a good guy, sir…" Happy first handed him a rejection card disguised as a compliment, then appealed to emotion and reason. Patting Deadpool on the shoulder, he escorted him out. 』
『 .....』
〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-10005〜
Everyone was instantly bewildered. Deadpool wanted to join the Avengers?
What would the art style of the Avengers turn into then?
As if imagining that picture, everyone felt a sudden chill run down their spines!
Happy did an amazing job!
On the other side, Deadpool immediately wailed,
"Fuck that fat guy!"
A fat guy had ruined his dream of being a superhero!
—
『 Six years later—
"Now, let's go peddle some used cars and show them what we've got!" Wade looked in the mirror, chuckling at his handsome self.
That's right. Having failed to join the Avengers, Deadpool turned around and joined a gang of used car salesmen.
Although he hadn't made a single sale to date, his boss was, fortunately, a tolerant and generous middle-aged man.
When the two of them were leaving work at night, Deadpool suddenly noticed someone seemed to be secretly taking photos of him from afar, but he didn't care.
When he returned to his apartment, a group of his friends had already prepared a birthday surprise for him. Wade immediately showed a shy and excited expression; he had forgotten he even had a birthday.
But just as Deadpool blew out the candles and was about to cut the cake, there was a sudden knock on the door. Deadpool opened it, and in front of him stood a group of unidentified personnel wearing black armor.
"Wade Winston Wilson," The Time Variance Authority (TVA) minutemen confirmed.
Following a barrage of trash talk from Wade, the TVA minuteman kicked Wade straight into a temporal portal. 』

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Nobita Nobi (Doraemon): "Eh? EH?!!! Is that the Time Variance Authority? Am I seeing things?!" ]
[ Aogami Pierce (A Certain Magical Index): "Could it be that Deadpool, like Loki, made some mistake that violated the timeline?" ]
[ Deadpool (Earth-10005): "I'm a law-abiding citizen, sir!" ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "Hehe, things have suddenly become much more interesting~ The organization known as the Time Variance Authority has appeared once again. Looking forward to it, looking forward to it!" ]
[ Killua (HunterXHunter): "But which timeline is this? Before Loki became the God of Stories, or after?" ]
[ Jogo (Jujutsu Kaisen): "Where do you brats get so many questions? Won't you find out if you just keep watching?" ]
[ .....]
〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜
Everyone's expressions were filled with suspicion and uncertainty. What did the TVA have to do with Deadpool?
Was the Deadpool here going to be pruned because he violated something?
But he was the protagonist this time. If he got pruned so quickly, what would they watch?
But what baffled everyone was, if it wasn't to prune Deadpool, what other reason could the TVA have for looking for him?
....
Inside the Time Variance Authority—
Loki smiled. As expected, he hadn't guessed wrong.
The narrative weight carried by this Deadpool was far too dense.
And such density basically came down to two reasons. One was like last time, discovering the greatest secret of the entire Marvel Universe, then slaughtering the Marvel Universe and breaking the fourth wall.
As for the other, it was that he had begun to interface with the multiverse, constantly traveling through countless worlds.
It seemed like the second option now!
—
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
The moment they saw the TVA, everyone became excited!
This mysterious organization, which had only appeared in Loki's story, had only appeared once, but it was unforgettable.
After all, as long as it was related to the TVA, didn't that mean it was related to the Sacred Timeline and the multiverse?
.....
『 An unfamiliar ceiling—
When Deadpool woke up again, he was already in a massive room resembling an interrogation room.
And there, he met a middle-aged man who introduced himself as Mr. Paradox.
He explained with great emotion to the utterly confused Deadpool, "I am Mr. Paradox. You are currently in the Time Variance Authority. We are a regulatory agency of sorts."
"It's just that we are very relaxed and pleasant, with a slightly retro-contrast feel."
"And we are primarily responsible for protecting the Sacred Timeline."
Before Mr. Paradox could finish, Deadpool already understood. He said speechlessly, "Shit! I'm really over this!"
"Is this because of Cable's time machine? I just revived some people, and then I destroyed the machine. How long ago was that?"
Deadpool slapped the table and loudly protested his innocence. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was suddenly caught between tears and laughter. They thought it was a new beginning, but it turned out he was a repeat offender.
So the previous hypothesis was overturned, and the TVA was here to prune Deadpool because he had disrupted the temporal order?
But the process seemed a bit different.
What confused everyone even more was that they still hadn't figured out whether this was the timeline before Loki or after Loki. This was very important!
If it was before, then the master here was He Who Remains, and everything might be his plan.
If it was after, then the master here was Loki, and since Loki had already become the 'server,' there shouldn't be much point in doing this.
Surely Loki didn't want Deadpool to take over his position, right?
.....
『 The expected cold words and beatings did not arrive. Deadpool was directly pulled out of the room by Mr. Paradox.
Soon, the two arrived at the main hall of the TVA. Countless timelines crisscrossed on the screens, undergoing massive changes at any moment.
Mr. Paradox said to Deadpool, "You have been chosen. You are to fulfill a higher purpose, one that even I do not know the details of."
"But by fulfilling this mission, you can save the entire Sacred Timeline! Prevent it from collapsing and fading away in the future, to the point where the Avengers would need to be deployed."
This crisis was no less devastating than the disaster from before!
And last time, it was a god who saved everything. This time, it's a man! 』
『 .....』
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
[ Haruno Sakura (Naruto): "Wait, does this mean it's after Loki became the God of Stories? Then shouldn't everything have ended? Didn't Loki save the infinite multiverse? Why does Mr. Paradox say it still needs saving?" ]
[ Death (Soul Eater): "Fool, the branching of timelines and the formation of the multiverse is an unstoppable trend. Loki only became the God of Stories, not the god of the entire Marvel universe. Besides, at that level, do they even need to choose between observing or interfering?" ]
[ He Who Remains (Earth-???): "I don't care about power at all, my friends. Do you know? Before I became the Conqueror, what I missed most was when I was just researching my little technologies." ]
[ Thor Odinson (Earth-616): "Heh, choosing a lunatic as a savior. I think this guy named Mr. Paradox isn't very bright either." ]
[ Loki Odinson (Earth-616): "Tsk tsk, Mr. Paradox? This should be a variant of Mobius, right? A very familiar feeling, though this version of Mobius seems quite arrogant and intimidating." ]
[ .....]
『 "The Sacred Timeline… is this planning to send me to Marvel? To experience everything in the Marvel Universe, guest stars at will, rebooting characters at all costs, we have it all."
Regarding breaking the fourth wall, Deadpool had an indescribable sense of ease.
And it took Mr. Paradox quite a while to process this. His expression was a bit unnatural. To others, this might be Deadpool's mad ramblings, but he knew it was all true.
He didn't say much, only pointing at the screen.
On the screen, countless timelines flashed by. When he saw Captain America holding his shield and Mjolnir, Deadpool was instantly moved to tears, respectfully saluting!
His absolute favorite was Captain America!
Then he saw Thor holding him, crying his eyes out. Deadpool pressed for the reason, but Mr. Paradox quickly switched the screen, refusing to say anything. 』
『 .....』
〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜
Thor stared blankly, a look of existential dread on his face. No… how was this getting more and more ridiculous?
Setting aside how Captain America was using his hammer and what he himself was using, what was this about him holding Deadpool and crying???
What kind of joke of the century was this?
—
『 "You will never be lost again, Wade. From now on, we will lead you onto the path of a superhero," Mr. Paradox said softly.
They had been observing Deadpool for a long time.
"You should be ready by now to leave your timeline and join the grandest universe! I am going to give you what you have been yearning for!"
"I know what you're about to do," Deadpool said in awe. "The power dynamic of the Marvel Universe is about to change forever."
At this moment, Deadpool was moved to tears. He muttered, "I am God."
"I am Marvel Jesus!"
Hiss…
What a mind-boggling statement. The sheer absurdity of it caused Mr. Paradox's face to twitch violently, but fortunately, Deadpool didn't notice. He ran off to a distance and vented to the camera.
"Suck it, Fox! I'm going to Disneyland!"
Following this, the TVA created a tailor-made crimson suit for him, and even the two katanas on his back were forged from Adamantium.
Just as Deadpool was finalizing his working hours and preparing to go home, Mr. Paradox delivered a piece of devastating news—Deadpool's home universe was dying.
"This is your universe. If a universe loses its Anchor Being, it becomes like this. Do you see the process of its internal decay?"
"This is the death of reality," Mr. Paradox said, pointing at the timeline that had no future.
Deadpool fell silent, then asked what an Anchor Being was.
"An Anchor Being is an entity of vital importance. If they are gone, their world will gradually wither until it completely ceases to exist."
Hearing this, Deadpool let out a sigh of relief. "You guys are in luck, because I'm still here. Although I'm having a bit of a midlife crisis, it's not that serious."
The atmosphere froze, and then both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter. What a humorous joke!
"Hahahahaha, hahaha… That person really isn't you," Mr. Paradox stopped laughing, his face turning cold.
And the true Anchor Being was Logan, Wolverine!
"Logan?! That guy with the metal forks?!" 』
