Chapter 274: Another Battlefield
"Ow, easy there, my rear!"
Wolverine Logan, whose body was almost entirely reduced to a Metal Skeleton, extended a pair of metal Claws and fished Deadpool Wade Wilson, who looked like nothing but a pile of Mangled Flesh, out of a pool of Lava.
The sharp Adamantium Claws sliced across Deadpool's lower body, "accidentally" cutting off a large piece of his charred Rear. Deadpool let out a string of complaints.
"What's that smell? Smells good!" Deadpool's rapidly Healing and growing nose twitched a couple of times, a hint of Doubt in his voice.
"It's your Rear, looks like it's medium-well!" Wolverine skewered a piece of meat charred to Charred Remains and held it out to Deadpool.
"It's clearly burnt to Charred Remains! Get it away, oh, get it away!" Smelling the scent of roasted meat, Deadpool's throat involuntarily swallowed some Saliva, and he quickly yelled.
Wolverine Logan casually flicked his wrist, throwing the black piece of meat from his Claws away. The meat landed in the still-unfrozen Lava, gurgling as it sank, then emitting wisps of green smoke.
"If you dare to throw Nuclear Bombs around again, I'll throw you in an oven and make you well-done. I think these Ogres in Hell would be Interested in your roast!"
Logan threatened, waving his Wolf Claws in front of Deadpool a few times. The Blood Streaks attached to the Adamantium on his body began to grow and Heal, starting from the Tendons and Bones, then the Muscle, Blood Vessel, and finally growing out Skin.
Thanks to the Indestructible Adamantium on his body, Wolverine's Gene had, to some extent, formed a kind of Molecular Fusion with the Adamantium.
In theory, as long as the Adamantium Skeleton wasn't destroyed, Logan wouldn't die.
Wolverine's recovery Speed was already fast enough, but Deadpool's recovery Speed wasn't slow either. Soon, the two guys with Undying Bodies stood once again on this Hell Battlefield of the Abyssal Blood War.
"Oh? What's that!"
Deadpool searched in the Lava for a long time and finally found his beloved two Katanas and that Spatial Leather Pouch.
Deadpool first checked the Things inside the Spatial Leather Pouch. When he saw that the dozen pounds of Gemstones he had chiseled from the Volcano Crater were safe and sound inside the Spatial Leather Pouch, Deadpool let out a long sigh of relief.
He wiped the Blade of his Katana with a piece of Fleshy Membrane cut from a dead Winged Demon, while looking with Doubt at the distant, dark, giant Tornado.
The Tornado, composed of countless Demons, was as tall as the ten-thousand-meter-high Black Mountain in the distance.
The narrowest part had a diameter of at least five to six hundred meters, and as for the widest part on the Ground, with layers upon layers of Demons climbing upwards, it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
White Electric Light occasionally leaked out from the gaps in the Tornado, and large swathes of Demons fell from High Altitude, directly splattering into a puddle of meat paste.
"Shouldn't be an Enemy!" Logan shook his Head. "Whatever it is, that Thing seems to have a great allure for these Demons, attracting most of their attention. Let's use this chance to find Johnny! Help him find his Father's Soul and leave here!"
Deadpool touched his Katana, looking at the naked Logan, who was swinging around his 'eight ounces of meat' (referring to his private parts). He subconsciously looked down at his own, then silently tied the piece of Winged Demon Fleshy Membrane around his waist.
"It looks like it's at least several hundred miles from here to that Black Mountain. My Spatial Leather Pouch is empty. What about yours? Do you have any flying tools?"
"Lost it!" Logan extended his Claws, turned around, and killed a Hellhound that had come sniffing around, trying to Sneak Attack. The Adamantium Claws plunged into the Hellhound, piercing its hard Skull, and with a swipe, he peeled off the Hellhound's Dog Hide.
Logan wrapped the Dog Hide around his waist and looked around. "Did you see Dracula!"
"Him? At the Volcano Crater, I don't know where he ran off to, but I always feel like this trip to Hell isn't that simple!"
Deadpool shook his Head, swinging the two Katanas in his hands. Grayish Blade Qi slashed towards the Demonic Creatures surrounding them from all sides. The two Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Slaying Blades cut down a group of Gargoyles as easily as slicing through butter.
With most of the Demonic Creatures rushing towards the Sky-shading and sun-blocking Tornado black pillar, the number of Demonic Creatures attacking Deadpool and Wolverine significantly decreased. This allowed the two guys with Undying Bodies to have the leisure to discuss the true purpose of a certain black-hearted Big Boss.
"With the Big Boss's Strength, he could have easily come to this Abyss without anyone knowing and taken Johnny's Father's Soul back!"
Deadpool shook his Head. "According to the Plot of certain Superhero movies, our Big Boss is definitely brewing a Grand Scheme. I bet it's related to Hell!"
Wolverine Logan looked at Deadpool's Head, which was shaped like an Avocado and didn't seem very smart, with some Surprise.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I think Johnny can see it too, but it's obvious that none of us are those so-called Superheroes who rely on moral Kidnap. The Boss is already helping him as much as possible. Some Matters always require doing things yourself! I think Johnny is very happy to be able to personally redeem his Father's Soul!"
Deadpool slashed out with a Blade, and over a dozen Vampire Bats with wingspans over two meters in the Sky were instantly cut in half by the Saber Light.
Logan skillfully swung his Twin Blades, slitting the Throat of an upright Alligator-headed Demonic Creature and plunging his Claws into its exposed Heart. The Demon's thick, hot Blood splattered all over Logan's face. He looked back at Deadpool.
"That doesn't sound like something you'd say!"
Deadpool swung his Twin Blades. "Looks like you still don't know me very well. I'm actually a very wise Person. Do you really think my Head is only filled with US Dollars and tits?!"
Seeing Logan's still disbelieving Gaze, Deadpool grumbled dismissively, "Alright, alright, I didn't actually say that. "They" told me!"
They? Logan and Deadpool were Old Friends and knew that he was often rambling and seemed to have the Ability to converse with some Mysterious Existences.
"So, it was also because of their suggestion that you decisively surrendered to Tang?"
A group of Scythe Demons swung their scythe-like forelimbs, slashing at Logan.
Logan ignored them, letting the Demonic Creatures' scythes land on him. Relying on his Undying Body and Adamantium Claws, he used a cheating method of trading injuries for kills, taking down the Scythe Demons.
Wolverine Logan's Combat Skills were not exactly impressive, and among Superheroes who specialize in Close Combat, his Combat Skills were truly lacking. However, relying on his Undying Body, he was like a stubborn piece of meat that was a Headache to deal with.
Unlike Wolverine Logan, Deadpool's Blade Arts were top-notch even among Superhumans. His swinging Twin Blades could even block the dense fire of Submachine Gun Bullets.
However, ever since he gained his Undying Body, Deadpool had thrown Blade Arts and such to the back of his Head. In his words, since he couldn't die anyway, what did a few extra Holes in his Body matter?
These two slacking guys were also the only two who hadn't graduated from Kane's Combat Skills Training Camp.
Even Kane had no good Method to deal with these two stubborn pieces of meat.
Logan had always been very curious why Deadpool joined their Faction.
Different from others, Deadpool actively sought out Boss Tang.
Back then, Deadpool was hanging out with the Avengers, Daredevil Matt, and Spider-Man, but after being wanted by the Underworld, he decisively chose to surrender.
"I like the current World. All Factions on Earth are united against external threats. Oh, even Crime in the Underworld has decreased significantly. Even those guys who traffic people and Smuggling have set their sights on Alien Planets. Instead of leaving the World to those Superheroes who play with Parallel Universes and never grow up,
It's better to hand it over to our Big Boss. At least he's doing a good job right now!
What do you think about me becoming an Interstellar Mercenary in the future? Those green-skinned, red-skinned Alien Beauties, just thinking about it is cool!"
"Then you'd better sort things out with your wife first. The Superhero who never grows up, are you referring to Peter Parker?" Logan asked.
Deadpool blew a Whistle and slashed out two streams of Blade Qi, cutting a large group of Fallen Demons in half at the waist. "We're in Hell, can't you let me get away from Vanessa?
Oh, my God! Where are the Succubi? Aren't Succubi supposed to be everywhere in Hell? Why haven't I seen a single one!"
Deadpool complained:
"Peter Parker? He's just an Ordinary Person High School Student without his spider Ability now. I think he'll enjoy his Life Nurturing Plants in the Biology Laboratory during this time!"
"Compared to him, I prefer the other two little bugs!"
Logan glanced at Deadpool, shook his Head, and confirmed that he hadn't guessed wrong. The guy Deadpool referred to as playing with Parallel Universes was likely Spider-Man. He just didn't understand why Deadpool had such a big Opinion of Spider-Man.
As far as he knew, their relationship used to be quite good.
What Logan didn't know was that Deadpool's change was indeed related to Spider-Man. Deadpool had the Ability to break the fourth wall and communicate with some "audiences." The reason he had a good relationship with Spider-Man before was because that disgusting *No Way Home* and *Homecoming* hadn't been released yet. A growing High School Student will inevitably encounter some growth-related setbacks.
But what did Spider-Man do? He handed Tony Stark's legacy to his Enemy. After being exposed, he erased the World's knowledge of himself.
To save Villains like Green Goblin and Sandman from the Parallel Universe, he caused his aunt's death and almost affected several Parallel Universes. But giving the fate of the World to a little kid going through puberty? Give me a break, what's the difference between that and giving the Nuclear Bomb button to a Dog? The screenwriters are truly like dog shit.
Such a little bug was not his Ideal Teammate.
Ever since Deadpool learned about Peter Parker's idiotic actions through those audiences on the fourth wall, he decisively chose to run away and defect to Boss Tang.
At the very least, Boss Tang, who ruled the Underworld, maintained the surface Calm of this World's darkness through Iron-Blooded Order.
And without the Avengers, someone still needs to protect the World, right?! "Oh? Logan! Am I seeing Things? Why do I feel like that big black pillar is moving towards us!"
Deadpool was slashing at the flying Demonic Creatures in the Sky, and a casual glance from the Corner of his Eye suddenly revealed that the Sky-shading and sun-blocking big black pillar Tornado seemed to be getting closer to them.
"You're not seeing Things, that Thing is indeed moving in our Direction!" Logan took a look and saw that the big black pillar formed by the convergence of Demons was indeed moving steadily and slowly towards them.
As the Tornado moved, countless Demons fell down with a rustling sound.
Logan and Deadpool exchanged a look, then the two of them took off running.
Thor, the God of Thunder, flying in mid-air, swinging Mjolnir, was constantly surrounded by crackling White Light, like a giant funnel-shaped fly swatter. Countless Demonic Remains and Flesh that had been electrocuted fell to the Ground with a clatter.
But the surrounding Demons swarmed forward relentlessly, a dense black mass of their ferocious faces in front of him. Thor couldn't even see the path ahead and could only rely on instinct, swinging Mjolnir, wanting to fly to the Nuclear Blast site to rescue Boss Tang's two Subordinates.
He was completely unaware that he himself was currently the Eye of the Storm of the entire Abyss Battlefield.
The two people being rescued desperately wanted to shout at him, "Don't come over here!"
...
Wolverine and Deadpool guessed correctly. Boss Tang indeed had his own plan for this trip to Hell.
After Mephisto was taken down, the several Abyss Dimensions he once controlled became Ownerless Items.
The Speaker of the Dark Council approached Boss Tang, wanting to use his Strength to take down an Abyss World.
Tang Song's Conditions were that the Dark Council side would help him sweep away Dormammu's Followers in the Mortal Realm.
At the same time, after the Speaker of the Dark Council successfully fused with the Abyss Laws and became an Abyssal Lord, the position of Speaker of the Dark Council would be held by Boss Tang's lover, Selene.
Of course, this Secret Agreement was only known to the Speaker and Boss Tang himself.
Just as the Speaker didn't know, Boss Tang had also made a promise to Dracula, helping him replace the Speaker and become an Abyssal Lord.
And what Dracula promised Boss Tang was also the position of Speaker of the Dark Council, as well as Control over Dracula's Bloodline (Vampire) branch.
Although fusing with the Strength of the Dark Dimension would mean the True Body would be blocked from the Reality Dimension by the Three Sanctums Barrier and could not appear in the Reality Dimension, no one could resist the desire for Strength.
Moreover, the Speaker of the Dark Council and Dracula clearly had their own little schemes. They both wanted to fuse with the Hell Dimension and also didn't want to give up the Reality World. Coincidentally, neither did Boss Tang.
The Abyssal Blood War involving five Abyssal Lords, concerning the Main Abyss Dimension where Mephisto once held Authority,
Plus the intrusion of Thor from Asgard, was undoubtedly a grand spectacle, attracting the attention of countless Dimensional Evil Gods and Hell Lords.
At this time, no one noticed that an insignificant Abyss Dimension, once ruled by Mephisto, was gradually covered by a layer of Bloodlight.
In the equally misty Sky, tens of thousands of Demons were frantically 'fleeing' at High Altitude. Many Demons were flapping their Wings wildly, their bodies drawing twisted Arcs in the Void Space. Behind them, thousands of Nightmare Steeds carrying Undead Knights, surrounded by countless dense, palm-sized Black Bats, chased after them.
Artificial Suns occasionally rose in the Sky, illuminating the Ground filled with Lava Rivers.
Orc Warriors from various tribes in the Reality World under the command of the Dark Council, carrying Great Axes and Rocket Launchers and Heavy Machine Guns produced by Tang Group,
With the cooperation of Skeleton Soldiers summoned by over a dozen Necromancers, they were frantically hunting the Demonic Creatures in the Abyss.
Perhaps because the Sanctum's blockade was gone, or perhaps because the Abyss Dimension was relatively close to a certain Undead Creature's Dimension, the number of Skeleton Soldiers summoned by the dozen Necromancers was dozens, even hundreds of times more than in the Reality World.
These Skeleton Soldiers, wielding rusty Swords and Blades, formed almost a Sea of Skeletons with their massive numbers.
At the same time, the Dark Council's thousand years of accumulation included powerful Dark Creatures like Gargoyles, Headless Horsemen, Black Goblins, Malevolent Spirits, Magic Golems, and Thousand-Year Undead.
The Dark Council even deployed several War Fortresses that looked very ancient.
These War Fortresses, said to be manufactured by Ancient Goblins, were far inferior in Speed and power to Tang Group's latest Nova Warships,
But a single Magic Powered Main Cannon shot could devastate dozens of miles, making them Great Killer Weapons.
Artificial Suns rose into the Sky one after another, dispelling the darkness of this Abyss Dimension. The Blood Moon in the Sky, which represented the Origin/Source of the Abyss Dimension, also became much dimmer.
Tang Group's Nova Warships occasionally detached from the pursuit of the Abyss Demons and landed on the Ground, which smelled strongly of sulfur.
Armed Robots flew out from inside the Nova Warships, holding Cloth Bags, digging pits, and burying Gem-like Seeds in the Stone Pits, Irrigating them with the Hearts and Flesh and Blood obtained from hunting Demons.
Under the illumination of the Artificial Suns, Plants quickly broke through the Lava Ground and sprouted and grew at a speed visible to the Naked Eye. Soon, these Plants turned into Human-faced Sunflowers, fan-like Pea Shooters, large, pale, angry Squashes, and two to three-meter Wall-nuts. As countless Demons were hunted and magical Plants appeared one after another, the Blood Moon representing the Origin/Source of this Dimensional Realm further dimmed.
The Origin/Source of a World is like a boundless Ocean. Unless it's a Hell Lord or Dimensional Evil God who has also fused with the Abyss, or High-Grade Divine Race Lifeforms like Odin or Zeus.
For an Ordinary Person to fuse themselves with the Origin/Source of a Dimension is like pouring a bottle of Ink into an Ocean and trying to dye the Ocean black. Even if they could succeed, the Time required would probably be measured in tens of thousands of years.
One must know that this Abyss is not Dormammu's Dark Dimension.
Back then, Dormammu discovered a Dark Dimension that no one knew about. Even with his Strength at the time, he spent countless years fusing himself with the Origin/Source of that Dark Dimension, becoming the Lord of the Dark Dimension, a Dimensional Evil God.
This Abyss, however, is not a secret among the Hell Lords. It's just that it's too remote, and this Abyss is truly too small.
Secondly, everyone's Gaze is currently attracted by Mephisto's Main Abyss Dimension, so for now, no Hell Lord or Dimensional Evil God has cast their Gaze here.
But even the smallest Abyss is a complete Dimensional Realm. Once the Abyssal Blood War is decided, those Abyssal Lords probably won't let go of this piece of fat. Therefore, to quickly fuse with this Abyss World, the Primal Power of this Abyss World must first be weakened.
A bottle of Ink cannot dye an Ocean black, but it can easily dye a bowl of water black.
Whether it's the Dark Council hunting the Demons in this Abyss, or Tang Group launching Artificial Suns into the Sky and planting Magic Plants, it's all to weaken the Origin/Source of this World.
As Artificial Suns rose into the Sky one after another, swathes of Magic Plants broke through the Lava Ground and grew rapidly, and millions, tens of millions of Demons were hunted (to quickly weaken the Origin/Source of this Abyss, the Dark Council even somehow acquired several Nuclear Bombs!). When several ten-million-ton Nuclear Bombs created Mushroom Clouds in this Abyss World,
The light of the Blood Moon in the Sky finally dimmed to the point of almost disappearing.
Over a dozen Figures simultaneously shot up into the Sky, flying towards that Blood Moon.
Among them were the Chairman of the Dark Council, Dracula, who had transformed into a palm-sized golden Bat and was with Deadpool and Wolverine not long ago,
And several ancient, toothless Old Monsters from the Dark Council.
Naturally, there were also some powerful Demon Lords from this Abyss.
