The sudden farce
instantly stripped the scene of the solemn atmosphere it was supposed to have.
Deadpool—now wearing his Iron Battle Suit—was slumped on the couch, groaning as he leaned closer and closer to Venom.
"Damn it! You freak—get away from me!"
Venom twisted its shape in disgust, roaring irritably.
Its host, Eddie, had no choice but to shift his seat and put some distance between them.
There was no way any respectable symbiote would ever choose an idiot like that as a host.
No way.
Absolutely no way.
If such a moron truly existed, Venom had to meet him—
just to crown him with the shameful title of 'Dumbest Symbiote Host in the Multiverse.'
Not just Venom.
Doctor Doom also turned his gaze toward Captain Marvel.
He could feel it—this woman's power was anything but ordinary.
She was even stronger than him.
So that was it.
Renjie's sudden departure last night…
had everything to do with her.
Renjie rose from his seat and stepped behind the group.
It was time to formally introduce everyone.
He placed a hand on Maria Hill's shoulder.
"Maria Hill—my appointed Aerial Fleet Commander.
In the future, she'll chart your routes and design operational strategies."
Hill had tied her hair up today, trying to appear more mature.
But with her restored youth, she still looked no older than eighteen.
Her demeanor was composed,
yet her face remained far too young.
Renjie walked past Hill and stopped before Android Android 18, planting a light kiss on her cheek.
"Android Android 18—my masterpiece.
She could destroy this planet with a flick of her wrist.
She ranks among the top five in raw power—
and her temper is terrible, so don't do anything stupid."
Android 18 rolled her eyes at the introduction,
then curled her lips into a mocking smile as she glanced at Captain Marvel.
In a real fight, she was certain—
this so-called cosmic heroine wouldn't stand a chance.
Renjie moved on and patted Android 16 on the shoulder.
"Android 16—my perfect creation.
Stronger than Android 18, but unfortunately, far too kind."
He spoke with faint helplessness—
yet there was pride in his voice.
After that, he ruffled the hair of the boy beside him.
"Clark Kent—my adopted son.
His potential is limitless, even though he's only ten.
For now, he'll serve as a reserve member and stay with us.
Young people should learn as much as possible—it never hurts."
Renjie sounded deeply satisfied.
Everyone glanced at young Clark but said nothing.
He looked far too similar to Renjie—
that alone already explained everything.
Renjie then stepped to Captain Marvel, holding her shoulders as he smiled at the group.
"Carol Danvers—Captain Marvel.
A frontline combatant whose battlefield is the cosmos itself.
She fights evil and punishes crime—a genuine superhero."
The introduction made the room feel strangely awkward.
After all…
Aside from her,
everyone present was either a villain—or an anti-hero.
Renjie turned to the last imposing figure.
"Victor von Doom.
Ruler of Latveria.
Doctor Doom."
Wrapped in a dark green cloak with silver armor beneath,
Doom radiated cold oppression.
A man no one would dare provoke.
Then Renjie stopped before Deadpool.
"Deadpool."
Just two words.
"That's it? Come on, Boss Ren—
I clearly—"
Deadpool's voice cut off abruptly.
He angrily knocked on his helmet.
Renjie had activated the muffling system inside the Deadpool suit, silencing him completely.
Finally, Renjie faced the last member.
"Venom—an alien symbiote.
It enhances its host's body, granting immense strength.
Near-immortal regeneration—
strong enough to go head-to-head with Deadpool."
Renjie had finished introducing everyone.
"Got any chocolate?"
Venom rasped quietly, its arrogance gone.
Everyone in the room was dangerous.
Even the idiot whose armor had crushed his own balls
radiated lethal intent.
Rather than a superhero team—
This felt more like
a Supervillain Alliance.
"The introductions are complete," Renjie said calmly.
"Now, your first mission."
"Android 21, open the virtual display."
[Android 21: Virtual screen activated.]
A massive holographic screen appeared before them, displaying the coordinates of Wakanda.
"Wakanda—this remote African nation holds the world's only Vibranium mine.
"Our objective is simple:
obtain the mining rights.
"If they agree—fine.
If they refuse… I trust you know what to do."
...
"This is one of the key materials for building our Interstellar Warship.
No matter what, we must secure it."
A hand slowly rose.
The one asking a question was—unsurprisingly—Deadpool.
Renjie's right eyelid twitched.
After a moment's hesitation, he disabled the muting function.
The moment Deadpool regained his voice, the mouth-cannon resumed.
"I've got a question.
How did they manage to keep Vibranium from Uncle Sam?"
"AKs?"
Deadpool asked weakly.
For those unfamiliar,
Africa was often seen only through negative stereotypes—
war, ruin, poverty, chaos.
The birthplace of humanity,
yet also believed by some to be a land abandoned by the gods.
"No. They use spears."
Renjie smiled mysteriously.
"Then… do they eat people?"
Deadpool raised his hands above his head, forming a fake feathered headdress.
That tasteless joke instantly sparked outrage.
"Idiot! Shut your mouth!"
"You look like a pair of rotting balls—
even I wouldn't dare bite you!"
The hoarse, furious roar came from Venom.
For some reason,
Venom and Deadpool seemed born to be enemies—
they clashed the moment they met.
Laughter erupted across the room.
For the first time,
the air was filled with something rare—
joy.
