Chapter 97 Deadpool and Mutant Universe.
...
In that small, dilapidated warehouse, Leon strolled in.
"Wow, who's this? Why did he show up in front of me in such fancy clothes, looking even more handsome than me?" Deadpool was taken aback, and there was only one reason for his surprise: Leon was incredibly good-looking.
Sporting a pristine white suit and white leather shoes, he looked immaculate in the run-down surroundings.
"Dude, I think you're in the wrong place," even the guy around Deadpool complained, holding up a job advertisement.
He could see it clearly written above: 'This time, some talents with special abilities will be recruited, and then a special action team will be formed – basically a mercenary team.'
However, Leon looked more like a white-collar worker ready to apply for a job in a big company. No matter how you looked at it, he appeared as a business elite, not a mercenary.
Leon shrugged. Truth be told, he wasn't aware that a job fair was happening here; he just spotted Deadpool and came over.
"A special ability? Does this count?" As he spoke, Leon's eyes lit up, and he promptly released two faint heat rays, melting an iron shelf beside him.
"Wow," Deadpool screamed again, jumping up like an excited kid. He pointed to Leon and shouted to the people around him, "Did you see that? Apart from the color difference, this is Cyclops? Damn, I've been complaining about the film company before. They take money and do nothing. Did you ever think they'd still invite Cyclops?"
Leon had a black line forming on his face. "I'm not Cyclops."
Well, he didn't really know where to file a complaint.
Deadpool was known for breaking the walls of the fourth dimension, so he dared to complain about his own film company.
Not only that, the Deadpool movie was a huge hit. Despite that, Deadpool lamented that the film company only cared about money and couldn't even invite a few X-Men.
However, he was mistaken. They did invite a complete X-Men team, but it was just a cameo.
Yes, the X-Men team that only appeared in one scene was real, and it's said they came for a scene during the shooting of Dark Phoenix.
It's just that Deadpool didn't notice it at the time.
"Cyclops, you're hired," whether Leon liked it or not, Deadpool had decided to call him Cyclops.
After all, in his own films, he criticized others for not having enough X-Men.
So, he created his own Cyclops, right?
Deadpool is the "merc with the mouth," and Leon understood a bit about it. There's no reasoning with him when he's like this.
So Leon didn't bother with small talk. Intrigued by Deadpool, he temporarily joined the special operations team and then turned around to leave.
Outside, he realized the front was still a bar. So, the warehouse in the back was really a bar, wasn't it?
Leon slapped his forehead, feeling a bit regretful.
The bar wasn't open today; perhaps it's reserved for the job fair later?
In other words, this bar isn't your ordinary bar. First, it's rather run-down, and second, it's a renowned gathering place for mercenaries.
There's also assistance in finding tasks, but a certain commission will be charged.
The person sitting next to Deadpool before was in charge. Nicknamed Weasel, his full name was Jack Hammer. He was a weapons dealer, an intelligence officer, and also handled the mercenary tasks in the store.
So, don't underestimate him. At least in his shop, he still had a lot of status and the right to speak.
After all, who wants to face a future with no prospects, right?
Leon quickly assessed the situation and glanced behind him. Many people had entered to apply for the job. It seemed that Deadpool's reputation was substantial, and numerous individuals were eager to do business with him.
Deadpool's most famous ability was his inability to die, accepting almost any job as long as it paid well. Undoubtedly, as an anti-hero, Deadpool engaged in the business of eliminating bad guys, but even he had his limits. The key was his beloved girlfriend, who served as his moral compass and anchor.
And precisely at the moment when his girlfriend met her demise.
Leon didn't need to inquire from anyone. For some inexplicable reason, the information seemed to come naturally to him, as though he had witnessed it firsthand.
This was the influence of the heart of the universe. Leon had begun observing it, gaining some power even if he hadn't fully mastered it. While he could manipulate the heart of the universe, his ultimate goal was to make it his own power source.
"What should I do next?" Leon pondered, feeling a bit lost as a newcomer without a clear direction.
Moreover, he observed that, while this universe was part of the Marvel universe, it lacked elements from the Marvel Movie Universe. There was no trace of characters like Iron Man or Captain America, and Mutants seemed to be the sole focus here, with only a cameo connection to the X-Men universe.
Leon found this intriguing. Mutant powers were a significant aspect of the Marvel universe, and he suddenly entertained the idea of traveling to other universes to witness the variety of powers they held.
Taking action, Leon used his Super Vision to survey the entire world, observing the powers each Mutant possessed and the changes within them.
In this context, Mutant referred to individuals with various super abilities resulting from genetic mutations, excluding those acquiring powers through external means like the Fantastic Four or the super soldier program.
Mutants had distinct power levels, ranging from weak to formidable. The weakest Mutants might not even awaken their abilities in their lifetime, while the strongest had the potential to annihilate stars and attain god-like abilities, even surpassing the cosmic entities in the universe.
Mutant abilities were incredibly diverse, encompassing almost anything imaginable, making the unexpected the only constant.
