New World? A Chaotic World.

Arbitrator Tower - Chen Tian's Private Suite

Morning light streamed into the room through the French windows. Chen Tian groggily opened his eyes and found 2B sitting on the edge of the bed, her silver-white hair hanging down, her expression very serious.

"Master, you need to take a look at this." 2B's voice remained calm, but Chen Tian could sense the tension in her tone.

"Hmm... what's wrong?" Chen Tian rubbed his eyes, took the water glass 2B handed him, and tilted his head back to take a gulp.

"Splash—" The bathroom door opened, and Bayonetta emerged wrapped in a towel, water droplets sliding down her skin. She yawned lazily, leaned down and kissed Chen Tian on the cheek, her red lips slightly curved. "Good morning, darling~"

Chen Tian chuckled and pinched her waist, but his attention was quickly drawn to the holographic news that 2B had brought up.

" --Superman! Superman has wiped out another criminal gang! According to witnesses, the criminals were originally just planning to rob a convenience store, but Superman didn't give them any chance and directly--"

In the footage, the streets are scorched black by some kind of high-temperature energy, and several twisted bodies lie in the ruins, unrecognizable as human. The female anchor's voice is passionate, almost fanatical. "As long as there are bad guys, Superman won't hold back! This world has finally ushered in true justice!"

Chen Tian's sleepiness vanished instantly.

"Superman?" He frowned, swiping his finger in the Void to bring up more news clips.

--In a certain alley, a boy who stole a wallet was pierced through the chest by Heat Vision.

--The bank robber was frozen into an ice sculpture, then smashed to pieces with a single punch.

The police officer stood to the side, his expression blank, as if he had long been used to it.

Chen Tian's pupils contracted sharply, and the holographic projection cast shifting shadows on his face.

"2B, retrieve global satellite imagery."

As more scenes unfold, Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth crushes a drug dealer's cervical spine; Steel connects a hacker's brain to an electric grid; Flash smashes a bank robber into a bloody pulp before laughing and flashing a peace sign.

"Master, the geographic database has been updated..." 2B pulls up a 3D map. On the once familiar North American continent, the glass curtain walls of Metropolis and the dripping beasts of Gotham coexist eerily. "These cities appeared out of thin air while you were asleep. The whole process took no more than 6 hours."

Bayonetta nudged Chen Tian's shoulder. "Honey, look at this." The image showed the reconstructed Metropolis Central Plaza, with the tattered Daily Planet sign covered by Joker graffiti over Superman's S logo.

Chen Tian abruptly grabbed the clothes 2B handed him and shouted into the communicator, "Tony! Where are you?!"

Tony said lazily, "Restaurant, we're all here. The party's over, we should have some coffee to ease our hangovers."

Three minutes later, when Chen Tian rushed into the revolving restaurant, the Arbitrators were enjoying Banner's special green milkshake. Tony, holding a waffle covered in blueberry sauce, raised an eyebrow. "The pajama party turned into a brunch?"

A holographic news broadcast suddenly cut to emergency footage— Superman carrying the convenience store thief's spine and throwing it in front of a police car, Krypton Heat Vision burning the body to a crisp. "According to the newly enacted Article 3 of the Absolute Justice Act..." the policeman saluted, his voice trembling.

"You guys?" Chen Tian glanced at the crowd, who seemed quite used to Superman killing the thief.

Natasha's knife froze in mid-air, Steve's coffee cup rippled, but Tony casually wiped his mouth. "Oh, you mean Superman? That guy's been really radical ever since the Joker blew up Metropolis."

He suddenly froze. "Wait, why are you so surprised to see Superman do that?"

The air in the restaurant seemed to freeze, and everyone stared at Chen Tian as if he were an alien.

"Wait a minute..." Banner pushed up his glasses, "...You don't recognize Superman? The Kryptonian who shook hands with you at the Justice League's founding ceremony?"

Chen Tian's temples throbbed. He noticed that Natasha's fingers had already stealthily touched the dagger on the outside of her thigh, and Steve's muscles tensed slightly—a sign that Captain America was preparing for battle.

"Friday, retrieve the 2009 summit minutes." Tony's voice suddenly turned serious. The holographic projection unfolded, showing Chen Tian shaking hands with Superman in a blue uniform, with a banner in the background that read "Justice League - Arbitrators Joint Conference."

"This is impossible..." Chen Tian muttered to himself. He had never seen this image before.

Bayonetta suddenly grabbed his shoulder. "Darling, your heart is beating too fast."

2B's voice rang very low in Chen Tian's ear. "Master, this record has not been tampered with; it is all true."

Tony stepped forward and placed a hand on Chen Tian's shoulder. His usually playful eyes were now unusually serious. The restaurant was so quiet that the static from the holographic projection could be heard.

"Friday, perform a full scan of his brain activity." Tony's voice rose considerably, "Especially the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex."

Blue light streamed down from the ceiling, forming a grid around Chen Tian.

"Boss, Mr. Chen's body is perfectly fine, but no traces of drugs or trauma have been detected." The AI's report caused Natasha to sheathe her dagger. "It's just that his heart rate is too fast and his cerebral cortex is overactive."

Tony suddenly burst out laughing, poking Chen Tian's chest with his finger. "Damn it, you didn't actually get knocked out by that bottle of 1945 Romanée-Conti, did you?" He turned to the crowd and spread his hands, "Gentlemen, our great leader has clearly soaked his brain in alcohol."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The laughter in the restaurant gradually subsided, and everyone resumed their breakfast. Chen Tian forced himself to pick up his coffee cup, but the coffee reflected his furrowed brows.

"So," Natasha said, slicing an egg, "The patrol will proceed as planned today?"

"Of course," Tony said, stuffing a waffle into his mouth. "Didn't we agree with the Justice League before? Half for each of us, so our mission today is in the Eastern Hemisphere."

Chen Tian's fingers clenched subtly under the table; it all felt so natural—they talked about the Justice League as if they were discussing their next-door neighbor.

What unsettled him most was Deadpool's absence. The ever-talkative mercenary was nowhere to be found at this crucial moment?

"I'm going to the restroom." Chen Tian suddenly stood up, and 2B immediately followed. Bayonetta gave him a meaningful look, but said nothing.

The bathroom mirror reflected Chen Tian's pale face. Cold water droplets dripped down his chin, splashing tiny water droplets in the ceramic sink.

Faced with the changes in this world, he could only think of one possibility: New World.

But why is the New World DC? Judging from Superman's actions and the destruction of Metropolis, this DC world is the world of "Injustice: Gods Among Us".

But how would Infinity Ultron know about DC?

He recalled Uatu's words, "I never expected Ultron to go this far. It seems Deadpool's presence here has also affected him."

The key character is Deadpool, the freak who can see through the Fourth Wall.

"2B, can you find out Wade's current location?" Chen Tian asked in a low voice.

The 2B's tactical visor flashed a data stream. "Location established. Mr. Wade Wilson is currently at the Bel-Air Hotel, Beverly Hills, Suite 1703."

"Beverly Hills?" Chen Tian frowned. "What's he doing there?"

2B remained calm. "According to hotel registration information and surveillance footage, he was providing 'reproductive services' to a wealthy female client."

Chen Tian's hand suddenly froze in mid-air. "... What?"

"To put it simply," 2B tilted her head, "Master, Mr. Wade is a 'duck'."

The water from the faucet was still flowing. Wade Wilson, was he a 'gigolo'? That's right, before the fusion, Wade Wilson was indeed a 'gigolo'. He didn't have cancer, nor did he gain self-healing abilities; he only had a handsome face and a model-like physique.

Chen Tian's mind raced. How could this situation be resolved? How exactly did DC integrate with Marvel?

"Bang bang bang!!" While Chen Tian was still thinking, the bathroom door was suddenly knocked on.

"Hey, Kid!" Tony's voice came from outside the door. "You've been in the bathroom for ages. You weren't playing some kind of game with 2B in there, were you? I like that too, but there are other people here."

Chen Tian flung open the bathroom door, and Tony was leaning against the doorframe with his signature nonchalant smile on his lips. Just as he was about to continue his teasing, Chen Tian grabbed him by the neck.

"Hey! Be gentle, kid!" Tony exclaimed dramatically, but the concern in his eyes was undisguised. "Are you sure you're okay? You don't look quite right."

"Just a hangover." Chen Tian forced a smile, deliberately raising his voice so everyone else in the restaurant could hear him. "Come on, I just got an awesome new emulator installed in my arcade, you have to try it out."

Tony raised an eyebrow. "Now? I still have patrol duties..."

"Now, I can't wait! I had 2B combine alien technology with the simulator!" Chen Tian said with a loud laugh, but Tony could clearly sense the seriousness in his eyes.

Tony stared into Chen Tian's eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned. "Okay, but if you're trying to trick me into playing those boring shooting games, I swear I'll blow your console up with my reactor."

The two walked through the restaurant arm in arm. Natasha glanced up at them and asked, "Boys' playtime?"

"Well, Na," Tony winked back, "You know how kids always like interesting adults."

Chen Tian put his arm around Tony and elbowed him. Tony didn't back down and retaliated with an elbow. The two then playfully left the restaurant.

Steve watched the two fooling around and shook his head helplessly. Natasha, on the other hand, watched their retreating figures with amusement.

The moment the arcade door closed, Tony's expression changed immediately. "Okay, kid, now you can tell me what you're up to, right?"

Chen Tian didn't answer, but instead turned on the game console and turned the volume up to the maximum.

The deafening sound effects of the shooting game filled the entire room. Chen Tian clenched his right fist, and the repulsive field of [He] formed a semi-circle, enveloping the two of them.

"Okay, I know, that's a cool move." Tony whistled, but his eyes had become wary. "But kid, you'd better explain why you're suddenly being so secretive."

Chen Tian did not answer, but took a deep breath and grabbed at the Void with his right hand. Suddenly, golden ripples appeared in the air, and a gem emitting a soft light slowly emerged— the Mind Stone.

"Holy shit!" Tony jerked back a step, his armor instantly covering his entire body. "That's the Mind Stone?! How did you get that thing? Shouldn't it be with Thanos?"

Chen Tian stared intently at Tony. "Tony, do you believe me?"

Tony frowned, looking at Chen Tian. He took a deep breath and exhaled, retracting his armor into the chest reactor. He shrugged helplessly, "Fine, fine, of course I trust you. Do what you want."

"Don't be nervous." Chen Tian suspended the gem between the two of them. "I just need to confirm a few things."

Golden energy ripples spread from the gem, forming a fine net of light that enveloped Tony. Tony instinctively raised his hands. "Hey! Don't use that! Are you trying to control me? You don't need to do this. What do you want? Didn't I agree to it? Um, you can ask for anything except Pepper. Just don't use the Mind Stone."

"Relax, just scan." Chen Tian kept a close eye on the changes in the gemstone.

The light of the Mind Stone gradually faded, and Chen Tian retrieved it into his palm. Tony rubbed his temples, his expression shifting from confusion to seriousness.

"Alright, kid," Tony took a deep breath, "You'd better explain why you suddenly used the Mind Stone on me."

"Tony, I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I had to." Chen Tian returned the Mind Stone to his Summoning Space and apologized to Tony.

Tony frowned. "What's wrong? Have you become Gotham's Riddler? Why are you being so mysterious all of a sudden?"

Chen Tian took a deep breath and grabbed Tony's shoulders with both hands. "Something's wrong with this world, Tony."

"Something's not right?" Tony looked confused. "You mean Superman's too violent? Come on, that guy's been like this ever since Lois died—"

"No!" Chen Tian interrupted him, his voice almost squeezed out through clenched teeth, "Our world shouldn't have the Justice League and Superman, it shouldn't have Metropolis and Gotham!"

Tony's expression grew increasingly serious. He scrutinized Chen Tian, his brows furrowed. "Kid, you didn't go to destroy that serial killer Ultron and get your head injured, did you? Why would you say something like that?"

Chen Tian's eyes lit up. "You still remember Ultron?"

Tony was taken aback. Ultron? Right, who's that? Why would he say that?

Chen Tian quickly continued, "Infinity Ultron, that robot that destroyed many universes, he also threw zombies here. In Zahao, we worked together to eliminate the zombie crisis, remember?"

Tony frowned. "Zombie crisis? I remember, but didn't the Justice League participate in that too?"

"Do you still remember the Crash Plan? The Demon of Dewen County? The Wakanda Prince's Revenge?"

Tony's fingers suddenly twitched. His eyes began to dart around. "I... wait... these memories..."

"They are all real." Chen Tian stared intently into Tony's eyes, "But in the current world, these events have been covered up by some force, and replaced by the history after joining the Justice League."

Tony suddenly grabbed his head and crouched down in anguish. "FUX... I do remember... but at the same time, these memories feel like a dream..."

The Mind Stone reappeared in Chen Tian's palm, its soft golden light enveloping Tony: "Hold on! Fragments of real memories still remain in your subconscious!"

Tony's pupils contracted sharply. "I saw it... a spatial rift above Washington District... a demon hundreds of meters tall... and countless bizarre genetically engineered creatures..." He suddenly looked up, "And that psychopath in the red suit... Deadpool?"

"That's right!" Chen Tian put away the gem. "Wade Wilson, that's a freak, he's the key."

Tony's breathing gradually calmed, but the shock in his eyes hadn't faded. "So that's why you reacted so strongly to Superman... In your memory, he doesn't even exist."

"No, Tony, he shouldn't even exist in this universe, not even in the Multiverse, there's no way he and the Justice League should exist."

"Shit, what on earth happened?" Tony plopped down on the sofa.

"When I was dealing with that killer Ultron, he told me before he died to prepare for New World. At the time, I had no idea what that meant." Chen Tian sat down next to Tony.

"It wasn't until I returned, Uatu said something about Deadpool, that I realized Ultron probably already knew he was no match for me. After making contact with Deadpool, he began working on this plan: a new world, a world that could never exist in this universe, and... overwhelming power..."

Chen Tian waved his hand, and Superman's projection appeared. "An extreme world."

Tony's eyes darted around, his brow furrowed, before he finally grinned. "Alright, kid, how can I help you?" He stood up, his armor swiftly covering his entire body. "What do you think about finding that paranoid Gotham? Friday, investigate the area where Batman was last seen."

"Boss, according to Justice League internal records, Batman was last seen in Gotham's underground drainage system," the AI's voice came from the ceiling. "But that area has been completely sealed off by Superman's Heat Vision."

Chen Tian frowned. "Blockade? Why?"

Tony shrugged. "Because Batman left the Justice League after Superman went astray, he organized a bunch of guys into the Resistance Alliance, but Superman Carnage most of them. But you know, he always likes to have a backup plan."

"In that case, Tony, Batman won't be in Gotham. You need to look through the underground drainage system; he will definitely have left Gotham," Chen Tian said in a deep voice. "I must find Deadpool."

"Wait, why not ask Uatu for help?" Tony suddenly asked. "Isn't that guy known as the Observer?"

Chen Tian scoffed, "Uatu? I reckon his head's about to explode. A universe that shouldn't exist suddenly appears, along with several guys whose combat power rivals his... Even the Watchers would go crazy."

Tony nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense, but are you sure Deadpool can figure all this out?"

Chen Tian nodded. "If even he doesn't know, then no one else does. That guy can't be described by ordinary standards."

"But you, you'd better watch out if Batman and Superman fall out."

"Ha!" Tony spread his hands dramatically. "Who do you think I am? I'm Tony Stark! One of the two leaders of the Arbitrators!"

"Friday! In five minutes, contact Justice League Tower! Tell them! Tony Stark is going to join them in hunting down Batman! The reason is! That guy is obsessed with not killing, but evil must be eradicated! Great Tony, support Superman's actions!"

Chen Tian laughed, "As expected of you, Tony."

Tony proudly raised his chin.

Beverly Hills Bel-Air Hotel Suite 1703

Wade Wilson stood in front of the full-length mirror, his fingers gently tracing his smooth cheek. No scars, no ugly wrinkles, only a perfectly handsome face. His fingers slid down his neck, lingering on his firm chest muscles, then continued downwards, caressing his taut abs.

"Oh my god~" Wade groaned in ecstasy, cupping his perfect buttocks in his hands. "Look at this perky ass~ This feel~" He suddenly turned around, sticking his butt out in front of the mirror, "Even I want to fuck myself! And~ for three days and three nights."

He touched his entire body in disbelief, then his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Oh! My little Wade! This is perfect—"

"Mr. Wilson?" a languid female voice came from the bathroom, "Are you alright?"

Wade immediately withdrew his hand, striking a sexy pose against the mirror. "Of course, baby~ just admiring God's most perfect masterpiece~"

He winked at his reflection in the mirror, then turned to walk towards the bathroom, but stopped abruptly as he passed the television. The screen was showing news of Superman executing a criminal, but Wade's gaze was drawn to his own reflection on the screen.

"Wait a minute..." He leaned closer to the TV, then suddenly tapped the screen. "Hey! Writer! What kind of plot is this? Why is Superman in the Marvel Universe?"

The television screen flickered, as if it were actually responding to his question.

Wade's expression suddenly turned serious. "Oh no... oh no no no... you damn screenwriters didn't actually pull off a cross-company collaboration, did you? Have you resolved the copyright issues?"

Then he suddenly smiled with relief, "Who cares~ All I want now is to use my perfect body to fuck myself in the bathroom for three days and three nights."

He turned and ran towards the bathroom, calling out as he ran, "Baby~ your Apollo is here~"

From inside the bathroom came giggles and Wade's exclamation.

"Holy shit! Big Bertha?!"

(Big Bertha, in American English, describes a tall, overweight woman. In Marvel, Big Bertha is a Mutants. Before transforming, she is 1.84 meters tall and weighs 54 kilograms. After transforming, she is 2.24 meters tall and weighs 340 kilograms...)
