Chapter 151
A figure, similarly clad in red, blue, and gold armor, similarly wielding a shield and a longsword (though the styles were slightly different), with a face, figure, and even temperament strikingly similar to her own, was quietly suspended there!
She gazed with complex emotions at the chaotic battle below!
And… at the "herself" fighting valiantly!
It was the DCEU Diana!
She had actually… truly appeared in this Universe!
And… judging by her appearance… it seemed… she wasn't an enemy?
Diana, from this DC Main Universe, was utterly stunned, watching the "other herself" who was like a reflection in a mirror!
Her mind was blank!
She had lived for thousands of years! Experienced countless wars and adventures! Even dealt with the gods of Olympus!
But this scene before her!
It completely surpassed her understanding!
Multiverse?! Parallel World counterparts?!
These concepts, which only existed in certain ancient legends and magic theories!
Had actually… truly existed?!
And that "other herself"… the aura emanating from her… it seemed… it carried a trace of… a smell belonging to a certain man… that made her feel extremely uncomfortable! Even a little disgusted?!
Could it be… an even more absurd and unacceptable thought!
Instantly flooded Diana's mind!
Could it be… that Lin Tian… he… he didn't just conquer herself (though it hadn't reached the final step yet)… but even… conquered "herself" from other Universes?!
And even brought her to this World?!
This realization! Like a bolt from the blue! Struck Dianahard!
Making her feel that her Worldview! Her view of love! Even her self-perception!
Were, at this moment!
Completely collapsing!
"You… who are you?!"
Diana, from this Universe, her voice trembling, questioned the "other herself" on the rooftop, her voice filled with shock, anger, and an unspeakable sense of humiliation!
And on the rooftop…
The DCEU Diana, looking at the "counterpart" below, so similar to herself, yet seeming more "naive" and "impulsive," her emotions were equally complex to the extreme!
She knew Lin Tian came from other Universes.
She also knew Lin Tian had many powerful women around him.
But she had never imagined!
Lin Tian would actually… bring her to another Universewhere "herself" existed?!
And… it seemed… this Universe's "herself"… also seemed… to have an unclear relationship with Lin Tian?! Perhaps even… fallen in love with that man?!
Jealousy! Incredibly strong jealousy! Instantly flooded the DCEU Diana's heart!
Why should she?!
Lin is mine!
I met him first! I fell in love with him first!
This "imposter"! Why should she also get Lin's attention?!
No!
Lin can only belong to me alone!
Any woman who dares to approach him! Even another "herself"!
Must!
Disappear!
A cold killing intent! Mixed with strong possessiveness! Instantly erupted from the DCEU Diana's eyes!
She looked at the equally shocked and angry "herself" below!
A cold arc curved at the corner of her mouth!
Her voice was as biting as ice:
"Who am I?"
"I am the true Diana Prince!"
"And you—"
"Are merely a pathetic fake!"
"A… loser… about to be replaced by me!"
Before her words finished!
The DCEU Diana no longer hesitated!
She suddenly raised the shield and longsword in her hands!
A golden divine power glow, more condensed! More filled with fighting will than this Universe's Diana, erupted from her body!
Like a golden arrow released from a bowstring!
Towards that "fake" below!
Fiercely!
She charged over!
A Shuraba!
Completely erupted!
Two Wonder Woman, from different Universes! Yet possessing similar appearances, similar powers, and perhaps even loving the same man!
Right above this chaotic Gotham City!
Unleashed a!
Unprecedented!
Mirror Battle!
Boom—
The golden divine power glow! And the equally brilliant light of the Bracelets of Submission! Collided fiercely!
Erupting in a deafening roar! And a terrifying energy Impactcapable of tearing space!
The two Diana! Like two golden meteors! Instantly entangled in battle!
They both possessed the powerful divine power bestowed by Zeus! Both were proficient in the exquisite combat techniques passed down by the Amazon tribe for thousands of years!
Every collision of fists and feet! Exploded like thunder! Enough to shatter steel! Crack the earth!
Every block of a shield! Emitted dazzling sparks and energy ripples! Enough to withstand artillery bombardment!
Every swing of a sharp sword! Carried the sharpness to tear everything apart and sacred majesty! Enough to sever the head of a giant dragon!
Their figures rapidly shuttled, collided, and separated in the dark sky of Gotham City! Like two golden lightning bolts! Dazzling and difficult to catch!
This was absolutely a top-tier battle worthy of being recorded in history!
Whether it was power, speed, skill, or… beauty!
All were perfect!
Making the heroes and villains below, who were struggling with various disasters! Unable to help but look sideways!
Superman looked at the two familiar figures in the sky, who had fought alongside him! Now fiercely battling like mortal enemies! His heart was filled with unspeakable shock and absurdity!
What on Earth was going on?!
Why were there two Diana?!
Why were they attacking each other?!
Could it be… truly related to that Lin Tian?!
Batman, on the other hand, was calmer! While directing the battle! He used the Batcomputer! Frantically analyzing the combat data and energy fluctuations of the two Dianain the air! Trying to find the differences between them and… clues to the mastermind!
He vaguely felt! A huge conspiracy must be hidden within this!
And as the instigator of this "goddess catfight" drama—Lin Tian!
Was currently leisurely suspended on the highest spire of Gotham City!
Surrounded by Wanda, Jean, and Gwen, who were also watching the battle with great interest (Wanda and Jean were responsible for maintaining the surrounding energy shield and illusion barrier, ensuring no one could discover them. Gwen, on the other hand, licked her lips, seemingly eager to join this "sisterly" battle?).
Lin Tian looked at the two stunning figures in the sky, fighting inextricably! Their charms exposed (because of the high-speed battle and energy Impact, their armor had suffered some damage)!
A pleasant smile, like appreciating a work of art, appeared on his face!
"Tsk tsk tsk… truly… absolutely splendid…" He even took out a bottle of treasured Romanée-Conti 1964! Poured himself a glass! And slowly savored it!
"Seeing two Diana fighting over me, coming to blows… this feeling… it's even more exhilarating than breaking through to the God Transformation realm!"
(Wanda, Jean, and Gwen, hearing this, all had their pretty faces darken, glaring fiercely at him! But deep in their eyes, a hint of inexplicable excitement and… approval flashed through?! )
Lin Tian naturally took in their subtle expressions, feeling even more smug.
He wanted to use this method! To completely display his "charm" and "control"!
To make all the "queens" understand!
Only he! Was the sole ruler of this Universe (and all other universes)!
They! Were merely jewels adorning his crown! Flowers vying for beauty in his garden!
They could compete with each other! Be jealous of each other! Even fight each other (as long as it didn't fundamentally harm them)!
But the ultimate goal! Was only one!
That was—to please him! To submit to him!
And this "Mirror Goddess Battle" before him!
Was meticulously planned by him! To "train" these two equally proud and powerful goddesses!
The first step!
He wanted them, in battle! To more deeply realize each other's existence! To realize that they were not "unique"! Thus generating a stronger sense of crisis and possessiveness!
He wanted them, in their mutual attacks and injuries! To more clearly feel the power of the "Hehuan Mark" he had left deep in their souls! To make them understand! No matter how they struggled! How they fought! They would ultimately be unable to escape his control!
Even!
A more evil light flashed in Lin Tian's eyes!
Perhaps… when they were both injured and exhausted, physically and mentally…
Chapter 152
He himself can… appear "just at the right time"?
Then… take them… all… "into his possession"?!
--- Request flowers --- Simultaneously conquering two Wonder Women?!
This kind of idea, full of taboo and excitement!
Made Lin Tian's heart! Beat faster involuntarily!
It seems… tonight's Gotham… is destined to become a… truly… sleepless night!
Lin Tian raised his wine glass! Towards the two golden figures still fiercely fighting in the sky!
He revealed a smile like a Demon King! Full of evil charm and possessiveness!
Fight… fight to your heart's content… my beautiful Goddesses… the more you struggle… the more excited… I get… The mirrored Goddess battle above Gotham City was intense and deadlocked.
Both Dianas pushed their divine power and Amazonian combat skills to the extreme! Golden divine light and the dazzling glow of the Bracelets of Submission intertwined! The Lasso of Truth flew like a spiritual snake! The sword of vulcan (or a replica) cut through the void! Every collision erupted with World-destroying power! Making the heroes and villains below watch in fear!
They both seemed to regard the other as a mortal enemy! Both wanted to completely defeat! Or even obliterate?! The other to prove that she was the "only one"! The most important existence in that man's heart!
However, as the battle continued, they gradually discovered a fact that shocked and disturbed them—their strength, skills, and even combat instincts were too similar!
It was as if they were truly fighting against themselves in a mirror!
No matter what exquisite moves they used, the other seemed to be able to predict and perfectly block or dodge them?!
No matter how powerful a divine power Impact they unleashed, the other could meet it with equally powerful force?!
...evenly matched!
This battle seemed like it would never end in a victory!
What made them even more apprehensive was!
During the fierce battle, they could clearly feel! The other's body also had Lin Tian's unique aura! And the faint but undeniable resonance from the "Hehuan Mark" deep in their souls!
This filled their hearts with extremely complex and contradictory emotions!
Anger! Jealousy! Unwillingness!
Yet… there was a strange sense of closeness? And… shared suffering???
They were both "owned" and "marked" by that man!
Just as the two Dianas' movements paused slightly due to these complex emotions, and the battle fell into a brief stalemate.
Lin Tian's figure, as if teleporting, appeared silently between the two of them!
He stretched out both hands!
Seemingly casually!
He placed them respectively on the Goddesses' shoulders, which were slightly heaving from the battle!
Buzz—!
Just this light touch!
The divine power that was surging within the two Dianas, enough to destroy the World!
It was as if it had met its nemesis!
Instantly!
It was completely suppressed! Calmed!
They couldn't even offer the slightest resistance!
It was as if Lin Tian's palms! Contained some kind of… higher-level law power! That transcended divine power! (It was actually the combined suppression of the Nascent Soul stage's Dual Cultivation Immortal Essence, and the power of the Mind and Reality Stones)
"!"
Both Dianas trembled violently at the same time! Their eyes filled with incredible shock!
They could clearly feel!
The Zeus divine power they were so proud of!
In front of this man!
It was like a docile sheep!
Trembling! Not daring to make the slightest move!
This… how is this possible?!
Lin Tian… his power… has actually become this strong?!
Fear! A fear of absolute power, originating from the depths of their souls!
Instantly seized the hearts of the two Goddesses!
They looked at the man in front of them, whose face still held a faint smile, but whose eyes were as deep as a Universe black hole!
For the first time! In the true sense of the word!
They felt his… terror!
"Alright, alright," Lin Tian's voice sounded, still gentle, but with an undeniable authority, "My two beautiful Dianas, why hurt the 'sisterly' harmony for me, an 'outsider'?"
Sisters?!
Who is her sister?!
Both Dianas roared in their hearts at the same time! But they dared not show it on their faces! They could only glare fiercely at each other with eyes full of hostility and vigilance!
Lin Tian looked at their adorable appearance, like ruffled kittens, mutually hostile yet daring not to speak their anger, and chuckled inwardly.
Very good.
First, awe them with absolute power.
Next,
It's time for my "performance."
"I know," Lin Tian released his hands from their shoulders, his face showing an expression of "understanding" mixed with a hint of "helplessness," "You must have many questions in your hearts. Why are there two Dianas? Why did we meet here? Why… is there such a wonderful connection between us?"
He began his well-prepared rhetoric, full of "metaphysics" and "fatalism"!
135 Goddesses Reconcile! Lex Luthor's Ambition, The Chess Game in the Shadows!
Q Q264235286
"Actually, all of this," Lin Tian's voice became a little deep and "sacred"?, "is not accidental."
"It is the choice of the Multiverse's will! It is the guidance of fate!"
"You are all Diana Prince! You are all Amazon princesses! You are all Goddesses with the divine blood of Zeus! Bearing the mission of guarding the World!"
"You are 'mirrors' of different Universes! Different reflections of the same soul in different spatiotemporal dimensions!"
"You were meant to meet! Meant to understand each other! Support each other!"
"Because," a glimmer of "compassion" flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, "you will all face the same huge threat!"
"A ultimate catastrophe capable of destroying all Universes! All timelines!"
He began to upgrade and expand the "Thanos crisis theory" he had used against DCEU Diana before!
He depicted it as an ultimate disaster affecting the entire Multiverse!
And he, Lin Tian!
Was chosen by some older "Universal Will" or "Fate"!
He needed to travel through different Universes!
To find and gather "Chosen Ones" like them, who possessed special powers and missions!
To form a "Multiverse Guardian Alliance" capable of resisting this World-ending catastrophe!
And the reason he had a "special" connection with them!
It wasn't because of some vulgar "possessiveness"!
But to better guide their power! Stimulate their potential! Make their souls "resonate"! So that in the future decisive battle!
They could unleash even greater power!
This was a sacred mission! A spiritual bond that transcended ordinary male-female emotions!
Lin Tian's "explanation," full of "epic," "fateful," and "righteous" implications!
It was simply flawless!
It perfectly rationalized all of his "harem" behaviors!
He even put a halo of "Multiverse Savior" and "Goddess Guide" on himself! (917)
Wanda, Jean, and Gwen, who were nearby, couldn't help but roll their eyes inwardly!
Master's ability to distort black and white, and speak nonsense with a straight face,
Is truly becoming more and more masterful!
They even felt a little admiration!
And as for the two Dianas, who were the parties involved!
After listening to Lin Tian's "truth," which was full of "fantasy" yet seemed "logically self-consistent"!
They were completely bewildered!
Multiverse mirrors? Guidance of fate? World-ending catastrophe? Multiverse Guardian Alliance? Soul bonds?!
The amount of information was simply too vast!
It completely exceeded their previous understanding!
Making them feel like their brains were about to crash!
They looked at Lin Tian's face, full of "sincerity," "compassion," and a "sense of sacred mission"!
For a moment! They didn't know whether to believe! Or to doubt?!
0 Could everything he said be true?!
0 Are we really counterparts in the Multiverse?!
1 Do we really bear the mission of saving all Universes?!
6 And is he really the guide chosen by fate?!
Chapter 153
Were his "intimate" actions toward me truly just to guide power? To establish a soul bond?!
The hearts of both Dianas were in complete disarray!
They looked at each other! They looked at the "mirror image" that was so similar to themselves, yet seemed to come from a different World!
The hostility in their eyes gradually dissipated.
Replaced by an extremely complex emotion, full of confusion, curiosity, and a hint of shared suffering?
If... if what he said was true...
Then perhaps we really aren't enemies?
But... sisters?!
Seeing the hostility in both Dianas' eyes gradually dissipate and be replaced by confusion and curiosity, Lin Tian knew that his carefully woven "lie" had successfully shaken their understanding and initially achieved the goal of "resolving" the conflict.
Of course, it was impossible to make them instantly become "sisters in deep affection."
After all, jealousy and possessiveness are inherent to women, especially when facing the same outstanding man.
What Lin Tian wanted to do was not to completely eliminate their competitive spirit, but to guide it into a "controllable" range.
Allowing them to both "learn from each other" and "motivate each other," ultimately becoming more valuable "Queens" and "weapons" in his hands!
So, Lin Tian struck while the iron was hot, a more "earnest" and "hopeful" expression appearing on his face: "I know it might be difficult for you to accept all of this immediately."
"But the gears of fate have already begun to turn! The crisis of the Multiverse is approaching! We don't have much time to waste!"
"Diana," he first looked at the Wonder Woman of the DC Main Universe, his eyes full of "trust" and "encouragement," "You are the symbol of hope for this Universe! You need to grow up quickly! Master the powerful divine power within you! Be ready to face the challenges of the future!"
"And you," he then looked at DCEU Diana, his eyes full of "gentleness" and "expectation," "You have experienced more and are more mature. I hope you can help your'sister,' guide her, and protect her. At the same time, you must constantly improve yourself! Because in the future, I need both of you to fight side by side!"
Lin Tian's words were extremely clever!
He affirmed the "status" and "potential" of this Universe's Diana! Satisfying her self-esteem!
He also gave DCEU Diana the "responsibility" of an "older sister" and "guide"! Making her feel valued!
More importantly! He placed both of them at the height of "future comrades" and "jointly confronting the crisis"!
Making them temporarily set aside their "petty affections" for each other! Shifting their attention to the so-called "grand narrative" and "common mission"!
Indeed!
Both Dianas were greatly encouraged after hearing Lin Tian's "impassioned speech"!
They looked at each other! Although the hostility in their eyes had not completely disappeared, there was indeed more understanding and empathy?
Yes!
We are all Diana! All Amazon princesses! All possess the bloodline of a deity! All bear the responsibility of protecting the World!
We should not be enemies! But comrades! Sisters!
Especially when facing the ultimate catastrophe that could destroy all Universes!
We should unite even more! Fight together!
Under the leadership of Lin Tian, this "great guide"!
Both Dianas! At this moment! Seemed to have truly reached some level of "reconciliation"?
They even extended their hands to each other! Shaking them symbolically!
A slightly stiff, yet sincere, smile appeared on their faces?
Of course!
Their true thoughts, perhaps only they themselves knew.
Perhaps they were truly moved by Lin Tian's "grand blueprint"?
Perhaps they just temporarily succumbed to Lin Tian's formidable strength and will?
Perhaps they were all secretly calculating how to, in future "cooperation," gain an advantage over the other and ultimately win Lin Tian's "sole" favor?
No matter what!
Surface "peace" was finally temporarily achieved!
Lin Tian looked at the touching scene of "sisterly affection" before him! And secretly chuckled!
Very good!
Successfully fooled two more!
It seems his "actor-level" acting skills and "multilevel marketing" eloquence are becoming more and more refined!
And just then!
Superman, Batman, and other Justice League members! Also finally recovered somewhat from the previous shock and confusion!
They looked at the two Wonder Women in the sky who had "reconciled"! And at Lin Tian, who was still unfathomable and seemed to control everything!
Their feelings were extremely complex!
They had no idea! What exactly had happened just now?!
Why were there two Wonder Women?!
Why did they fight?!
And why did they suddenly reconcile?!
All of this seemed to be related to Lin Tian?!
What exactly did he say to them?! What did he do?!
Especially Batman! He looked at the undeniable admiration and affection in Diana's eyes when she looked at Lin Tian?!
The ominous premonition in his heart grew even stronger!
Had even Diana fallen?!
This Lin Tian! He was simply a walking hormone bomb?! A demon specializing in harvesting goddesses?!
No! He must be stopped!
But how to stop him?!
Batman felt himself falling into an unprecedented predicament and sense of powerlessness!
And Lin Tian!
Seemed completely oblivious to the complex gazes of the heroes below!
He embraced the two "reconciled" goddesses! A victor's smile on his face!
Then!
He addressed those below!
And announced loudly:
"It seems today's 'welcome ceremony' caused quite a stir."
"To express my 'apology,' and to celebrate the initial establishment of our 'Multiverse Guardian Alliance'?"
"I have decided!"
A wicked glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes!
"To invite everyone! And the entire Justice League!"
"To be guests at my 'palace'!"
"Let us have a good, in-depth 'exchange'!"
"Regarding the future of this Universe!"
"And..."
"Your ultimate belonging!"
...The supervillains, accustomed to lurking in the darkness, enjoying manipulating people's hearts and pursuing power, naturally wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime "opportunity in troubled times."
Like sharks smelling blood, they began to emerge from their respective lairs, attempting to get a piece of the pie, or even replace him, and become the new "King" in the turbulent waters stirred by Lin Tian?
And among this group of restless villains, the first to lose patience, and undoubtedly the most threatening, was the CEO of LexCorp—Lex Luthor—who, as a mortal, rivaled gods and considered Superman his lifelong enemy!
Ever since Lin Tian, with an overwhelming display of power, punched Superman away above Metropolis, Luthor's "interest" in Lin Tian had risen to an unprecedented level!
In his secret laboratory, located on the top floor of LexCorp, filled with futuristic technology, a huge holographic screen continuously played every scene of Lin Tian's arrival, as well as all subsequent intelligence information about him.
Luthor, dressed in a well-tailored white suit, holding a glass of expensive red wine, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, stared intently at the Eastern man with a lazy smile on the screen, his face showing an extremely complex and pathological expression!
There was shock! There was jealousy! There was anger! But there was also an indescribable excitement and the thrill of meeting a worthy opponent?!
"Lin Tian," Luthor murmured the name, his voice hoarse and cold, "An existence even more powerful! Even more mysterious! Even more incomprehensible than that damned alien!"
He couldn't understand!
How could such a monster appear out of thin air in this World?!
What was the source of his power? What was his purpose? What was his relationship with Superman?
Luthor felt his brain was about to overload!
His boasted intelligence and calculations! In front of this Lin Tian! Seemed somewhat pale and powerless?!
But!
Lex Luthor! Was never one to give up easily!
He regarded Superman as a thorn in his side! His lifelong mission was to research how to eliminate this "alien threat"! To maintain humanity's "purity" and "dignity"!
Now!
Another "Lin Tian" appeared, even more powerful and uncontrollable than Superman!
This, to him! Was both a greater threat! And a greater opportunity!
"Superman... Lin Tian... Justice League..." Luthor looked at the glowing dots on the screen representing different factions, his eyes flashing with a mad calculating gleam! "If... if I can cleverly exploit the conflicts between them... make them fight each other to a standstill..."
"Then wouldn't I reap the benefits?!"
The corners of Luthor's mouth curled into a cold and cruel smile!
He decided!
To play an even bigger game in the turbulent waters stirred by Lin Tian!
He immediately began to act!
He used his global business empire and intelligence network! To more frantically! At all costs! Collect all intelligence about Lin Tian, about Superman, about the Justice League, and even about the mysterious forces hidden behind the scenes!
He even secretly activated several "special projects" that he had long abandoned or hidden!
For example! A "God-Slaying Weapon" project developed specifically for Kryptonians, utilizing the principle of Kryptonite radiation?!
For example! A "Genesis Project" that attempted to create "perfect human soldiers" through gene editing and artificial intelligence technology?!
For example! He even began to try! To contact some extreme xenophobic government officials whom he had previously disdained to associate with! Or secret organizations that also harbored hostility towards metahumans?! Trying to form some kind of "alliance" with them?! To jointly fight against those "monsters" that "threaten human survival"?!
Lex Luthor!
This supervillain, known for his intelligence and ambition!
Under the immense pressure and "opportunity" stimulated by Lin Tian!
Completely unleashed the madness and paranoia hidden deep within him!
He wanted to manipulate everyone!
He wanted to become the ultimate master of this Planet! And even the entire Universe!
And what he didn't know was...
Chapter 154
His seemingly secret little actions were, in fact, completely exposed to the surveillance of Lin Tian and Zero from the very beginning.
"Master," Zero's cold voice rang out from the secret Base in the South Pacific, simultaneously displaying all of Lex Luthor's plans and movements clearly on the holographic screen in front of Lin Tian. "Lex Luthor seems to be plotting some unfriendly things against you and the Justice League..."
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Tian looked at Luthor on the screen, whose face was somewhat distorted by ambition and jealousy, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "It seems this 'human elite' still hasn't given up."
"However," Lin Tian stroked his chin, and a glint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "his plans aren't entirely without merit."
For example, that 'God-Slaying Weapon' plan? Although crude, the idea is good. Perhaps it could be 'borrowed' to deal with certain 'god-level' enemies in the future?
For example, that 'Creation Plan'? Although inhumane, if it could be 'modified' to mass-produce some 'cannon fodder' or 'cauldrons' with special abilities, it seems quite cost-effective?
As for those 'allies' he wants to contact?
Heh heh.
They can be used to create more 'trouble' and 'pressure' for the Justice League and the Earth government!
"Zero," Lin Tian instructed, "monitor Luthor's movements closely. Don't stop him, and even 'inadvertently' provide him with a little 'help' at certain critical moments."
"Let him think he can truly control everything and become the final winner."
"Then," Lin Tian's lips curved into a devilish smile, "when he is most proud, closest to'success'—"
"I will personally crush all his hopes and ambitions!"
"Let him experience what true despair is!"
"As you command, Master." Zero faithfully carried out the order, while silently lighting another candle in her heart for Lex Luthor, this 'clever but self-defeating' mortal.
To provoke her Master, this demon king who regards all things as chess pieces and enjoys playing with human hearts...
You are truly unfortunate.
136 The Joker's Carnival, Gotham's "Surprise"! Justice League Infighting? The Cracks of Trust.
Unlike Lex Luthor's schemes, which were full of rational calculation and political ambition, the actions of another 'iconic' villain in Gotham City—the Joker—were driven by a purer, and even more chilling, motive: to drag the entire World into his mad game of absurdity, chaos, and deadly humor!
Ever since Lin Tian arrived in Gotham with his equally abnormal 'female companions' and turned Batman and the entire Gotham underworld upside down, the Joker felt as if he had found his long-lost'soulmate'! Or rather, the 'best playmate' worthy of his full effort to 'please' and 'challenge'!
The charmingly evil aura of Lin Tian, who disregarded rules, acted as he pleased, and toyed with human hearts! And the chaotic, dangerous, even morbidly beautiful aura emanating from the women around him! All made the Joker incredibly excited and fascinated!
He felt that he had finally found a perfect partner who could understand his 'art' and join him in turning this utterly boring World into a giant 'circus'!!!
"Hee hee hee hee hee!!!" In the dark, damp depths of Arkham Asylum, filled with despair and madness, the Jokerlooked at the newspaper with Lin Tian's blurry image and let out a chilling, sharp laugh!
His green hair was disheveled, and his terrifying, scar-like eternal smile widened! His eyes gleamed with a madness and fervor greater than ever before!!!
"Interesting! Too interesting! This new 'Magician' Mister! Much more interesting than my 'old friends' who only know how to fight and kill!!!"
"I must... have a good... game with him!!!"
The Joker decided to give this 'new friend' who had 'traveled a long way'! And his equally 'interesting' 'female companions'! A unique! Gotham-flavored! 'Welcome Gift'!!! So!
On a night shrouded in thick fog and sin!
As Lin Tian, Gwen, and Mystra were 'appreciating' the unique 'local customs' in a part of Gotham City filled with Gothic architecture and decadent art.
A 'carnival party' meticulously planned by the Joker! Broke out! Without warning!!! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Countless laughing gas bombs! Like alternative 'fireworks' blooming on a festival day! Exploded simultaneously in every corner of the city!!!
Purple! Green! Deadly smoke with eerie smiley faces! Instantly filled the entire block!!!
Everyone who inhaled the laughing gas! Whether they were Police on patrol! Or late-night pedestrians! Or even those gangsters engaged in various dirty deals! All seemed possessed! And began to laugh uncontrollably and madly!!!
Their faces! All showed the same twisted and terrifying smile as the Joker!!!
As they laughed! They began to attack each other?! Or perform various extremely absurd and dangerous acts?!
Some used roadside fire hydrants as weapons! Waving them wildly! Smashing surrounding vehicles and pedestrians?!
Others climbed onto the edge of tall buildings! Gesticulating wildly! Trying to perform 'trapeze acts'?!
Still others simply set fire to trash cans! Or detonated car fuel tanks! Creating even greater chaos and flames?!
The entire block! Instantly plunged into a frenzy filled with eerie laughter and deadly danger!!! Immediately after!!!
A group of Joker Gang members, dressed in colorful, bizarre costumes! Their faces painted with exaggerated makeup! Armed with various deadly weapons 'meticulously modified' by the Joker!!! Like a combination of devils crawling out of hell and circus clowns!!! Swarmed out from all directions!!!
They screamed! Laughed maniacally! Recklessly destroying everything around them!!! Spreading chaos! Fear! And death! To every corner!!!
And at the center of the chaos!!! A giant truck, converted from a discarded school bus! Its body covered in various graffiti and bloody handprints! A huge and comical Jokerhead installed on its roof! And constantly playing ear-splitting circus music!!! Slowly! Like a ghost! Drove into people's sight!!!
On top of the truck!!! The Joker!!!
Wearing his signature purple tailcoat! A crooked green bow tie! His face bearing that terrifying, scar-like yet morbidly joyful eternal smile!!! Was gesticulating wildly! Like a skilled conductor! Directing this 'death circus' he had orchestrated!!!
"Ladies! Gentlemen! Children! And... those little Bats hiding in the shadows! Trembling!!!"
The Joker picked up a huge! Red megaphone like a clown's nose! And with his sharp, ear-piercing, yet madly inciting voice! Shouted to the entire chaotic city:
"Welcome to the Joker's!!! Carnival Night!!!"
"Tonight!!! Let us all!!! Forget all worries!!! Cast aside all restraints!!!"
"Indulge!!! And enjoy this beautiful chaos!!!"
"Oh! That's right!" The Joker suddenly changed the subject! His gaze seemed to penetrate layers of smoke and chaotic crowds! Landing precisely in a certain direction! A more eerie and expectant smile appeared on his face:
"And that... mysterious 'Magician' Mister... who has come from afar..."
"And those... equally 'interesting'... beautiful ladies by your side..."
"Do you like this little 'appetizer'?"
"Don't rush... don't rush..."
"Next... there's an even more exciting... 'main course' waiting..."
"Hee hee hee hee hee!!!!!!"
The Joker's chilling, sharp laughter! Like the most malicious demonic sound! Echoed in the night sky of Gotham City! Lingering for a long time!!!
Gwen and Mystra looked at the scene before them, filled with madness, chaos, and even a hint of 'performance art' beauty! Their brows furrowed slightly!
Although they also liked 'chaos' and 'excitement'.
But the Joker's pure actions, without any clear purpose, solely to drag the entire World into his twisted and insane logic... still made them feel a hint of... incomprehension? Or even... an instinctive repulsion?
This was no longer mere 'evil'; it was something... closer to the essence of 'chaos' and 'disorder'?
"Master," a cold killing intent flashed in Gwen's huge White eyes, "Do you need me to... crush this noisy, irritating, and tasteless Joker?"
She felt that the Joker's 'artistic style' severely insulted her aesthetic as the 'Queen of the Night'!
"No rush." Lin Tian waved his hand, a look of keen interest on his face.
He watched the Joker, standing on top of the float, gesticulating wildly like a madman, wantonly spreading chaos and fear. A strange glint flashed in his eyes.
This guy... although he's mad, his power isn't top-notch.
But his mental state... seems very... special?
Full of pure chaos and disorder? Even subtly able to draw upon a trace of... this Universe's unique... 'Law of Madness'?
Interesting. Truly too interesting.
Lin Tian suddenly developed an interest in studying and... 'collecting' this 'Joker'.
Perhaps... he could be captured... and thoroughly... 'dissected'?
To see what unique secrets are hidden in his brain, filled with madness and twisted logic?
Or... 'modified' him?
To become a 'court jester' who only obeys his commands, specifically responsible for creating 'chaos' and 'fun'?
Hmm... this idea seems... more exciting?
Lin Tian's lips curved into a devilish smile, full of wicked amusement.
It seems... Gotham tonight... is destined to become even more... 'lively' and 'interesting' due to his arrival!
He wanted to see... how many'surprises'... this Joker... could still bring him?
While Lin Tian was enjoying the 'chaos feast' directed by the Joker in Gotham City with great interest, and had developed a strong 'research interest' in the Joker himself.
Far away in Metropolis, the members of the Justice Leaguewere embroiled in an even more intense and irreconcilable argument and infighting, due to Lin Tian's previous 'friendly dinner invitation' full of domineering and threatening implications, and Batman Bruce Wayne's subsequent 'urgent plea for help' regarding a potential major crisis in Gotham City!
"We must go to Gotham immediately! Support Bruce! Stop Lin Tian's conspiracy!"
Superman Clark Kent was the first to pound the table, his tone filled with undeniable resolve! Although he had been traumatized by Lin Tian's punch before, and was still wary of that man's power and intentions;
However, his sense of responsibility as Earth's strongest Guardian, and the special friendship he shared with Batman, who was both an enemy and a friend, still made him choose to step forward at the critical moment!
He absolutely could not stand by and watch Gotham Cityfall! Nor could he let Bruce face that demon-king-like powerful enemy alone!
"Clark is right!"
Wonder Woman Diana immediately drew her sword of vulcan, radiating powerful divine light, her eyes filled with soaring battle intent!
"That Lin Tian acts strangely, and his methods are cruel; he is definitely not a good person! The chaos in Gotham is very likely orchestrated by him! We must stop him immediately! And maintain the World's peace and order!"
She had completely lost trust in Lin Tian's previous seemingly 'friendly' words and 'kind' actions! Especially after learning that Lin Tian was accompanied by another 'mysterious woman' who looked strikingly similar to herself, her heart was filled with vigilance and a hint of inexplicable hostility?
"I agree too!" The Flash Barry Allen immediately raised his hand in agreement, lightning flashing in his eyes! "The chaos in Gotham City cannot be allowed to spread further! We must control the situation as quickly as possible! And I always feel that Lin Tian is hiding a bigger secret! Perhaps this time, we can find some clues!"
Although Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Aquaman Arthur Curry were still wary of Lin Tian's strength, driven by Superman and Diana, the two core members of the League, they also expressed their willingness to go to Gotham together to confront this unprecedentedly powerful enemy!
However! Just as the heroes of the Justice League were stirred up and preparing to gather all their strength to rush to Gotham's aid! A cold and questioning voice! Like a basin of cold water! Instantly extinguished their enthusiasm!
"Wait!"
The speaker! Was none other than the Martian Manhunter—Jonn J'onnz—known for his calmness and wisdom!
He had awakened from his previous'severe injury and coma' at some unknown point! His face was still somewhat pale, but his eyes had become unusually solemn and complex!
"Jonn?! You're awake?! That's great!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him awake, thinking that the League had gained another powerful ally!
"Jonn, do you have a different opinion?" Superman looked at Jonn, and although anxious, he patiently asked. He knew Jonn always thought things through and would never speak without reason.
"I..." Jonn looked at his companions before him, who were indignant yet seemed somewhat 'hot-headed', and a deep worry and helplessness flashed in his eyes. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "I suspect we may have underestimated how terrifying Lin Tian is."
"More precisely," Jonn's voice became somewhat hoarse and difficult, "I suspect that the intelligence Batmanconveyed to us, and he himself, may already be compromised!"
What?!
Jonn's words! Were like a bolt from the blue! Instantly stunning all the heroes present!
Batman compromised?!
How is that possible?!
He is Batman!
He is the 'brain' of the Justice League! The Dark Knightwith the most unyielding willpower! The one least likely to be controlled!
Chapter 155
Jonn! What are you talking about?! Superman was the first to refute in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly from shock! Bruce, how could something be wrong with him?!
I'm not doubting Batman's loyalty and willpower. Jonnshook his head, explaining gravely, What I suspect is that he may have been subjected to some kind of mental influence we can't understand during his contact with Lin Tian! He might even have been implanted with false memories or suggestions!
I can clearly feel it.
A trace of lingering fear flashed in Jonn's eyes. That Lin Tian possesses an extremely terrifying psychic power! Far beyond my imagination! It might even have reached a certain level of law! In front of him, my telepathic abilities were almost completely ineffective! I even suffered a strong backlash! My consciousness almost collapsed!
If even I can be so severely affected, do you really think Batman, with his mortal mental strength, can completely resist?!
Jonn's analysis, full of rationality and worry, was like a cold, sharp blade! It pierced deeply into the hearts of every hero! It instantly cooled their minds, which had been heated by anger and anxiety!
Yes! Lin Tian's mental power was indeed too terrifying!
Even a top telepath like Martian Manhunter almost stumbled! Could Batman really be spared?
If... if Batman was really controlled! Then the intelligence he's sending back now, and his so-called 'request for aid,' wouldn't that just be a huge trap set by Lin Tian?!
A deadly trap to lure them to Gotham and then capture them all in one fell swoop?!
Thinking of this, a chill involuntarily rose in the hearts of all the heroes!
They looked at each other, seeing a hint of fear and suspicion in each other's eyes!
If even Batman couldn't be trusted, who else could they trust?!
What... what should we do now?! The Flash Barry Allenasked in a panic! He felt his brain was completely overwhelmed!
I think Jonn took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening. We must be more cautious! Before we figure out Lin Tian's true purpose and Batman's true condition, we absolutely cannot act rashly!
Perhaps we can first send a small, stealthy reconnaissance team to secretly infiltrate Gotham and investigate the situation! Instead of acting like this, going all out and walking right into a trap?!
Jonn's suggestion immediately received the approval of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Aquaman Arthur Curry, and others! They were already wary of confronting Lin Tianhead-on! Now with a 'reasonable' excuse, they naturally didn't want to take any more risks!
However, Superman Clark Kent and Wonder Woman Diana expressed strong opposition!
No! Superman flatly refused, his eyes filled with the majesty and determination of a god among men! Regardless of whether Bruce was affected, regardless of whether this is a trap, the people of Gotham City are suffering! This is an undeniable fact!
Exactly! Diana also said righteously, the sword of vulcan in her hand emitting a brilliant light! Amazonian Warriors never fear any conspiracy or challenge! If that Lin Tianreally wants to play tricks, then let him come! I will personally cut off his head!
137 The Chaotic Chessboard of Gotham, the Demon King's 'Benevolent' Hand
But Clark! Diana! Jonn still wanted to argue, trying to persuade them to calm down!
There are no 'buts'! Superman's tone became unusually firm, his eyes shining with an unquestionable light! If you are afraid, you can choose to stay here!
I, Clark Kent, swear in the name of Superman!
Even if it's just me!
I will go to Gotham! To stop that disaster!
After speaking, Superman no longer paid attention to the complex and shocked gazes of the crowd!
His figure flashed, directly transforming into a blue and red stream of light exceeding the speed of sound.
Without hesitation, he flew rapidly towards that city of darkness and madness—Gotham City! 8
Clark! Seeing this, Diana immediately let out a soft cry and followed closely behind! 5
Golden divine power streaked across the sky, like a second Sun, chasing after that blue and red figure! 2
Leaving Jonn, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and a host of other heroes looking at each other, at a loss! 1
The Justice League! This group of heroes, barely gathered together by a common external threat! 0
Under the clever manipulation and schemes of Lin Tian, this 'outsider,' before even taking action, erupted into its first and most serious internal conflict and division due to distrust of each other and huge clashes in core ideologies! 4
And all of this was naturally within the calculations of Lin Tian, who was leisurely drinking red wine and enjoying the 'urban fireworks display' atop a skyscraper in Gotham City! 2
One could even say he orchestrated it himself! 7
He just wanted to split the Justice League! To make them consume themselves!
So they couldn't form an effective combined force!
This way, it would be easier for him to defeat them one by one!
Turning these so-called 'heroes' into his pawns and precious 'collectibles' to be manipulated at will!
Lin Tian looked at the real-time footage projected by Zero, showing the Justice League's internal division due to suspicion and arguments! A cold, joyful smile appeared on his face, as if he were watching a group of self-proclaimed clever yet foolishly amusing monkeys!
The game is getting more and more interesting!
The chaos in Gotham City, under the meticulous planning of the Joker, the combined effects of 'catastrophic' beings 'accidentally' drawn in by Lin Tian, and the uncoordinated 'rescue' efforts after the Justice League's split,
completely escalated into a city-wide disaster! Lin Tianoverlooked everything from above, a cold arc on his lips. This chaos, half-guided and half-allowed by him, was exactly the situation he was pleased to see.
Superman Clark Kent was tirelessly rushing around the city like a firefighter. He used his steel body to smash out-of-control giant plant vines, used his heat vision to detonate the corrosive venom spat by deep-sea monsters,
and had to constantly guard against the Joker gang members' endless insidious traps and laughing gas attacks. Although he possessed unmatched divine power, on such a chaotic battlefield where he had to hold back everywhere,
avoid harming the innocent, and where the enemies were numerous and their methods bizarre, he felt an unprecedented strain. Every attack he made had to be cautious, fearing that it might affect the controlled citizens or innocent people hidden in the shadows.
Wonder Woman Diana (of this Universe) was embroiled in a fierce battle against 'another self' (DCEU Diana) and Storm Ororo, who seemed to be under Lin Tian's mental control.
The battle between the two Dianas was full of the bravery of Amazonian Warriors and the pride of divine descendants. Every clash of divine power caused the earth to tremble, but their power systems and combat techniques were so similar that it was impossible to determine a winner in a short time.
And Storm Ororo, under Lin Tian's hidden 'blessing,' seemed to have her control over Storms and lightning elevated to a new level. The violent elemental forces continuously created huge troubles for the two Dianas, making their battle even more difficult and intense.
Batman Bruce Wayne's situation was even worse. Not only did he have to direct the equally chaotic Gotham police and National Guard in inefficient rescue and evacuation efforts, but he also had to constantly guard against the Joker, who was like a persistent maggot,
possibly hidden in any dark corner, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment! What made him even more mentally exhausted was,
what role were his 'guests' Lin Tian and his two equally terrifying women, who he had left in the Batcave, playing now?
Were they the masterminds behind this chaos? Or were they fishermen waiting to reap the benefits? Bruce felt his brain was about to explode from overthinking and information overload!
As for The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and other heroes who arrived late and failed to establish unified command due to internal disagreements, they were all embroiled in bitter battles on their respective fronts, even suffering varying degrees of casualties and coordination errors!
The entire Gotham City had completely turned into a boiling, dark stew filled with destruction, madness, and despair!
As the 'appreciator' and, to some extent, the 'director' of all this chaos, Lin Tian was now leisurely sitting atop a skyscraper in Gotham City, perfectly hidden by his illusions and energy barriers.
He savored a bottle of top-vintage red wine, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, 'casually' taken from the Wayne Manor cellar, surrounded by Wanda, Jean, Gwen(Spider-Queen), Mystra, and other queens who were also watching with great interest.
Tsk tsk tsk... truly... a spectacular doomsday drama...
Lin Tian looked at the city below, like a purgatory, and the 'heroes' and 'villains' struggling within it, a joyful smile on his face, as if he were watching a grand fireworks display. As expected of Gotham City! This 'artistic atmosphere' full of chaos, decadence, and despair is indeed much more interesting than the monotonous 'gods fighting' in Metropolis!
Master, Wanda precisely delivered a crystal-clear grape to Lin Tian's mouth with her telekinesis, her eyes glowing red, with a hint of curiosity and a desire for commendation. Are we... really just going to keep watching? Don't we need to go down... and help them? Or... create some bigger'surprises' for them?
Although she was also happy to see those so-called 'heroes' in distress, especially Wonder Woman (of this Universe), who made her feel a slight threat.
However, watching so many innocent civilians (though in her eyes, they were merely ants) die in the disaster, the human conscience within her, not yet completely extinguished, still made her feel a faint trace of reluctance. Of course, more than that, she wanted to show off her 'value' in front of Lin Tian.
"Help?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, gently taking the grape Wanda fed him, feeling the sweet juice burst in his mouth. A hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. "Why should I help?"
He reached out, gently pinching Wanda's delicate, flawless cheek, his voice carrying a cold cruelty: "Wouldn't it be better to let them fight a little longer, let more people die?"
"Only after experiencing true despair and fear will they understand who they should truly revere and submit to."
"And only then," Lin Tian's voice became deeper and more seductive, "can I better... 'integrate' this World's resources and power for my own use. Isn't that right, my little demoness?"
When Wanda heard Lin Tian's words, filled with 'Demon King' logic, and the affectionate and affirming phrase, 'my little demoness,' her heart trembled slightly. All reluctance and doubt vanished instantly! In their place was an even stronger sense of worship and identification!
Yes! Master is right! These mortals and so-called heroes are merely stepping stones for Master's future grand aspirations!
Their lives and deaths, what do they have to do with her? She only needs to obey Master's commands and help Master achieve his goals, and that's enough!
"Master is brilliant!" Wanda immediately showed a sweet smile, snuggling even more obediently into Lin Tian's arms.
Jean Grey watched silently from the side, complex light flickering in her golden Phoenix eyes.
She could feel the abyss-like darkness and desire for control within Lin Tian, but she also felt his absolute confidence in his own power and his domineering aura that looked down on everything.
This contradictory yet fatally charming quality both fascinated her and gave her a subtle sense of unease. She didn't know where following such an existence would ultimately lead, but she knew she could no longer turn back.
Gwen (Spider-Queen) and Mystra were even more direct! They looked at the chaotic and bloody scene below, their eyes filled with excitement and bloodlust! They had long wanted to rush down and join this feast of slaughter! If not for Master's command, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold back!
Lin Tian didn't really intend to stand by and watch Gotham City be completely destroyed. After all, a largely intact Gotham City would be more valuable to him.
He was waiting. Waiting for the most opportune moment. A moment that would allow him to gain the greatest benefit at the least cost!
"Zero," Lin Tian communicated telepathically, "closely monitor the battlefield situation. Focus on the status of the Justice League's core members and the movements of the main villains (Joker, Lex Luthor, etc., if Luthor also personally participates in this chaos)."
"At the same time, analyze the energy nodes, defensive loopholes, and... hidden 'treasures' (such as research results from certain secret organizations? Or a certain villain's secret weapon arsenal? Or even some core technologies of Wayne Enterprises?) in various important areas of Gotham City."
"I want to get what I want from this chaos. Not just people's hearts, but also... tangible benefits."
"Understood, Master." Zero immediately began to operate at high speed, a massive stream of information flashing like a waterfall in Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
Lin Tian's lips curved into a sly, fox-like smile. What he wanted to do was not just watch the show. He also wanted to play the role of a 'fisherman' who benefits from both sides and fishes in troubled waters in this chaotic game of chess!
He would 'just right,' at a time when a certain Justice League hero (like The Flash, who seemed more agreeable? Or Batman, who still had some 'use value' to him?) was about to fall into despair, 'casually' lend a hand to 'help' them, earning their 'goodwill' and 'trust' (though false), paving the way for his subsequent 'recruitment' and 'utilization.'
He would also'secretly' lend a hand when a certain villain (like the Joker, who seemed to have great 'research value'?) was about to be completely dealt with by the heroes, allowing him to create greater chaos, further weakening the Justice League's power, and giving himself more opportunities to 'fish in troubled waters.'
He might even use Zero's hacking skills and Mystra's shapeshifting ability to impersonate a certain hero or villain, to stir up conflicts between other factions, making them fight among themselves, like the snipe and the clam!
Lin Tian pushed his terrifying calculation abilities and his methods of manipulating people's hearts to the extreme!
He wanted to turn the entire Gotham City into his personal 'playground'!
He wanted to turn all the heroes and villains involved into chess pieces he could manipulate at will!
His ultimate goal was to completely disrupt the original power structure of this Universe! To weaken all potential opponents! And to bring the most important resources, powers, and even... those charming goddesses of this Universe, one by one, under his control!!!
This! This was a truly interesting! A 'Demon King's'! Hunting game!!!
Under Lin Tian's 'just right' 'intelligence support,' the Justice League launched a textbook-perfect, precise counterattack against the Joker and the chaotic situation he caused!
The Joker's meticulously placed bombs were defused one by one, hidden strongholds were uprooted, controlled hostages were successfully rescued, and even the Jokerhimself, under Batman's relentless pursuit, was in a sorry state, narrowly escaping capture several times!
And those 'cataclysmic' beings 'casually' lured by Lin Tian, after losing their initial advantage of chaos and having some of their abilities specifically countered by the Justice League, gradually felt overwhelmed and began to contemplate retreat.
The chaotic situation in Gotham City seemed to be genuinely starting to improve?
The Justice League heroes, too, were greatly encouraged by this sudden 'turnaround'! They felt they had regained control of the situation! With a little more effort, they could completely quell this disaster and bring all criminals to justice!
However, they did not know.
All of this was merely a small interlude in the script meticulously arranged by Lin Tian, the 'behind-the-scenes director.'
How could he truly let these 'heroes''save the World' so easily? Wouldn't that be too boring?
Just as the Joker was about to be driven to desperation by Batman, and those 'cataclysmic' villains were preparing to withdraw from Gotham, Lin Tian acted again.
This time, his goal was no longer to 'help' the Justice League, but to 'fund' the villains!
The Demon King's 'Blessing,' Desperate Pawns
"Zero," Lin Tian commanded telepathically, a wicked curve on his lips, "'casually' deliver those 'little toys' we 'recovered' from the HYDRA Base earlier—such as certain modified energy weapons? Or certain gene serums that can temporarily boost individual power?—into the hands of Mr. Joker and those 'emotionally unstable' ladies."
"Additionally," Lin Tian added, "give them some 'friendly tips' about the 'weaknesses' of Justice League members."
"Understood, Master." In Zero's cold voice, there seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude?
And so, an even more absurd and dramatic scene simultaneously unfolded across the various battlefields of Gotham City!
The Joker, who was being chased by Batman like a stray dog, suddenly 'unexpectedly' discovered a mysterious box in an abandoned trash can, filled with various high-tech weapons and potent stimulants?!
He opened the box, looked at the 'toys' inside, gleaming with dangerous light, and a detailed 'instruction manual,' and instantly let out a laugh even crazier and more piercing than before!
"Hee hee hee hee hee! Heaven helps me! Bat-boy! Surprise time!"
The Joker, without hesitation, injected himself with the potent stimulants! Grabbed the powerful energy weapons! And, as if pumped full of adrenaline, launched an even more frenzied and deadly counterattack against Batman!
Meanwhile!
Storm, Poison Ivy, and Aquaman, who had originally been preparing to retreat, 'unexpectedly' received the enhancement of some 'mysterious power' on their respective battlefields?!
Storm suddenly felt her control over natural elements surge! She could summon even more violent lightning and hurricanes! She could even temporarily affect Superman's flight?!
Poison Ivy discovered that the plants around her had become even more aggressive and toxic! She could even cultivate strange flowers that could absorb energy?!
Aquaman also felt his connection to the ocean grow stronger! He could summon more powerful tsunamis and more ferocious deep-sea behemoths?!
None of them knew where this sudden power came from! But they all instinctively regarded this power as the hope of defeating their formidable enemies!
And so!
The battle, which had originally begun to tilt in favor of the Justice League!
Instantly!
Underwent another dramatic reversal!
The Joker, as if on drugs, saw his combat power skyrocket! He actually fought Batman to a standstill! He even used his newly acquired weapons to cause Batman considerable trouble!
