Chapter 167 - Poison and Madness: First Encounter with Brock

Dominic and Deadpool were swallowed by a twisted purple-black light, and in the blink of an eye, they fell from a spatial wormhole into a gray, cold World. The streets were covered in graffiti, the buildings were mottled and old, and the air was filled with a damp, rotten smell. The sound of police sirens and muffled shouts came from a distance.

After landing with a forward roll, Deadpool immediately jumped up and brushed the dust off his butt. He looked at The Multiverse device still flashing in his hand and muttered, "Uh, the Venom Universe, sounds like a dark cooking show. Welcome to 'Who Eats Whom,' today's main course is alien symbiote with a washed-up reporter!"

Dominic stood steadily to the side, surveying the surroundings. He frowned, "This place... looks worse than Gotham."

"Hey, don't insult Gotham! The specialty here is 'toxic enthusiasm,' literally." Deadpool waved the device in his hand, and the target's name appeared on the screen - Eddie Brock. He grinned, his voice full of unconcealed excitement, "Our mission is to find this poor guy! Then, uh, happily cooperate with him to save countless Universes!"

"Eddie Brock?" Dominic glanced at the screen, his gaze calm, "He's the one who's symbiotic with the symbiote?"

Deadpool nodded, then changed his tone, full of teasing, "That's right! The perfect combination of alien parasite and Earth bum. Tell me, if Venom tasted Peter Parker's blood, would it think Eddie tastes like expired instant noodles?"

Dominic shook his head helplessly, his voice low, "I don't think there's any need to discuss this."

"Come on! The love-hate relationship between Spider-Man and Venom is a classic scene in Marvel!" Deadpool's eyes lit up as if he had found a perfect opportunity to rant, "Speaking of which, does Venom miss Peter Parker? You know, Peter is a 'sweetheart,' full of youthful energy and positive vibes, while Eddie... tsk, a typical mid-life crisis patient."

Dominic ignored Deadpool's rambling and turned his gaze to a dilapidated convenience store in the distance. Standing at the entrance was a man with a decadent physique, stubble, wearing a wrinkled jacket, holding a bag of food, looking utterly dejected.

Deadpool immediately patted Dominic's shoulder excitedly, "That's him! Eddie Brock, target locked! Let's go, hero, let's meet your new teammate!"

Dominic lifted his foot and walked towards Eddie, with Deadpool following closely behind, shouting loudly as they walked, "Hey, Mr. Brock! We are mysterious visitors from other Universes and have a superhero job opportunity to recommend to you!"

Eddie turned around and saw two strangely dressed guys walking towards him, especially Deadpool's red and black tight battle suit, which made him instinctively take a step back. He frowned, his voice full of alert, "Who are you? And what the hell are you?"

Deadpool immediately struck what he thought was a charming pose and said in an overly enthusiastic tone, "I'm Deadpool, and this is Dominic - a super serious guy. But the point is, we need you and Venom to help save the Universe! Yes, you heard that right, the Universe, plural! Multiversal! Not just this little dirty corner of yours."

"Venom?" Eddie's expression became more confused, and he muttered softly, "How do you know it exists?"

Dominic spoke, his voice low and powerful, "We know far more than you think. The question now is, are you willing to cooperate?"

Just as Eddie was about to answer, the Venom inside him suddenly surged, and a low, distorted voice came from his throat, "Cooperate? Why cooperate with these two idiots? Especially the red one."

Deadpool's eyes lit up instantly, and he pointed at Eddie's chest, gesturing excitedly, "Oh my god! Is this the legendary Venom? Hello, little black one! I heard you like eating people's brains?"

Venom's voice carried clear disgust, "I like eating the brains of smart people. Yours... probably has no nutritional value."

Deadpool pretended to be greatly hurt, covering his chest with one hand and dramatically stepping back two steps, "Mr. Venom, that's really hurtful. But you're right, my brain is indeed not very... well, suitable. But what about him?" He nudged Dominic with his elbow, "How does a superhero taste?"

Venom ignored Deadpool's nonsense and turned to Dominic, his tone gaining a hint of caution, "Who are you? Why can't I sense any abnormal emotions from you?"

Dominic looked directly at Venom and said coldly, "Because I am not your prey. We need you, and you need us. Your World is no longer safe."

Eddie's gaze shifted between Dominic and Deadpool, seemingly trying to make sense of the sudden situation. He finally sighed and said softly, "Alright, but I warn you, if this is a trap, Venom and I will make you regret it."

Deadpool immediately raised his hands, looking innocent, "A trap? How could that be! We're a hero team saving the Universe, the only risk is that you might fall in love with me."

Venom's voice came coldly, "Shut up."

A harsh engine roar came from the end of the gray street, and a line of black SUVs sped towards them, their high-power headlights piercing the night and pointing directly at Eddie. The windows rolled down, revealing fully armed mercenaries, their rifles pointing coldly at the target.

Eddie's face changed abruptly, and he instinctively took a step back, "They're here again."

"It's these cliché guys again, chasing, weapons, big explosions, the old tropes are almost worn out." Deadpool spread his hands, his tone full of feigned sympathy, "Eddie, do you live in the script of this kind of cheap action movie every day?"

"Cut the crap!" Venom's voice came from inside Eddie, low and full of anger, "Run, run fast!"

Eddie turned and ran, his footsteps echoing on the empty street. Deadpool stood still, his eyes fixed on the approaching vehicles, his tone showing dissatisfaction, "He ran, so he ran, who's going to take care of these idiots with murder on their minds?"

Dominic turned his head to look at Deadpool, his expression stern, "You."

Deadpool was stunned for a moment, then pointed at his chest with his finger, "Me? Oh, no, buddy, that wasn't in my contract terms. Hero saves the damsel? Sure. Funny sidekick? No problem. But single-handedly fighting mercenaries? That doesn't quite fit my noble professional ethics."

Dominic's gaze was cold, his voice steady, "Then what are you doing here? Decorating the street?"

Deadpool let out a long sigh, then pulled out his dual swords while complaining, "Alright, this is the downside of being a working stiff, always having to do the dirty work nobody wants to do. Seriously, can't these villains at least have some creativity? If they keep repeating this, I'll start to wonder if I'm making a sequel."

The SUVs had approached, the mercenaries opened the doors and quickly spread out, their muzzles pointing precisely at Deadpool. A man who looked like a Commander shouted, "Target locked, eliminate—"

Before he finished speaking, Deadpool had already leaped up, a short knife flying directly at the Commander, hitting him square in the mask. Blood gushed out, staining the ground around him red. After landing, Deadpool made an exaggerated bowing gesture and said playfully, "Oh, sorry, I interrupted your line. But who would seriously listen to a villain's grunt speak?"

The mercenaries immediately opened fire, bullets raining down on Deadpool. He rolled and dodged with incredible speed, while simultaneously drawing his second knife and shouting loudly, "Hey! Did you learn your marksmanship from a mob crash course? Shoot a little straighter! Let me feel respected!"

He quickly approached one of the mercenaries, his blade flashed, and the opponent's arm was severed at the root, blood splattering out. Deadpool turned his head to look at the fallen mercenary and let out a low laugh, "Wow, so your blood is really thinner than ketchup."

The remaining men increased their firepower, and gunshots echoed through the street. Deadpool grabbed a corpse to shield himself, running and shouting, "This is my limited edition human shield! Stop aiming at my face, I still need this face to charm thousands of girls!"

Dominic stood not far away, watching the chaos with cold eyes. With his arms crossed, he watched Deadpool move through the rain of bullets like a dance and couldn't help but ask coldly, "Are you fighting, or performing comedy?"

"Both!" Deadpool leaped up suddenly, stepping onto the hood of an SUV, plunging his dual swords into the driver's side windshield. He looked down at the driver inside, his voice full of malicious teasing, "Hey, buddy, have you ever considered getting a job where you don't have to chase people every day? Like opening a food truck?"

The driver's face was pale, and before he could answer, Deadpool had already smashed his helmet glass with the knife handle and kicked him out of the car. He then jumped into the driver's seat, buckled his seatbelt after sitting down, and pressed the horn, letting out a harsh honking sound, "Beep beep! Clear the lane, the superhero is coming!"

Under his control, the SUV suddenly turned direction and crashed directly into another vehicle. The huge impact caused both cars to instantly roll over, debris scattering everywhere. Deadpool climbed out of the broken window, brushed the dust off himself, and said with an innocent look, "Sorry, I don't have a driver's license."

The remaining mercenaries were clearly frightened by his madness, and their movements became hesitant. Deadpool tilted his head and looked at them, his voice low, "Don't be scared, I'm just having a little body language interaction with you."

He suddenly drew his pistol and shot one of the mercenaries in the knee. The bullet accurately hit the target, and the mercenary screamed and fell to the ground. Deadpool walked up and squatted down, his tone chillingly gentle, "Does it hurt? If it hurts, just scream it out, so I can more accurately remember the screams of you grunts."

Eddie in the distance looked back at Deadpool, who was brutally beating the mercenaries, his mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself, "This guy is really crazy."

Venom's voice came from inside him, full of disdain, "He's a lunatic, but he's efficient."
