Chapter 2832: Movements of Each Team (Part 3)
"I guess it must be chaotic over there already," Greed said while packing things up.
"Which side do you think isn't chaotic?" Manipulation sat in place and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that except for Spider-Man's side, the vast majority are in a mess."
"Which one are you most curious about?" Greed looked at him and asked with a smile, but this wasn't actually a question, because the answer was known to all.
"I'm actually most curious about Batman," Greed answered his own question. "I guess that student of Pride must have gone too. He is the number one troublemaker of the DC Universe."
"Where do you think the Batman Who Laughs is?" Manipulation didn't pick up his topic, but just asked such a question.
"In any case, he's definitely not with Batman and Joker. He doesn't think he's Batman, nor does he think he's Joker, but thinks he's something above both, so perhaps he has his own team."
Greed thought for a while and said, "But his goal in the Dark Universe didn't succeed, and he probably only has the Robin King available to him. The future is worrying."
"Then what about Iron Man? Aren't you worried about him?"
"He and Batman are two completely different people," Greed smiled again and said, "Although many people say they are very similar and reflect each other, that's only on the surface. In reality, their personalities are completely different."
"How should I put it? Tony is not someone who would force himself. If he were, he wouldn't always be anxious," Greed lowered his eyes and said. "Only someone who can feel pain will feel suffering. It's not that Batman is completely immune to pain; it's just that his tolerance for pain is too high, leading to some minor pains not being taken into his eyes at all."
"But Tony is not like this. He is naturally emotionally sensitive. He can magnify every moment of awkwardness, embarrassment, and anxiety in life to the maximum, and at the same time, he will never learn to force himself to accept or ignore these emotions, so he always appears very pretentious."
"Those who criticize a person who is afraid of pain for screaming loudly when in pain must have no heart. I am not such a person, so if Tony is not adapted, then he is not adapted. If he is anxious, then take some medicine. If he really can't hold on, he will take the initiative to come to me."
Manipulation looked at him with a smile and said, "We scared him quite a bit back then, you know, right? He later retrieved that memory."
Greed's hand paused, and he said, "That was his own doing. If he hadn't insisted on retrieving the memory of me being his younger brother, he wouldn't have seen the abuse... Forget it, I'll ask him next time."
Pride looked at the material list and said, "How many people do you think have the same idea as you and have set their sights on this universe?"
"I'm afraid not a few," Greed replied. "We are not the only smart people in the world. Surely many people have thought of going into the instance to get building materials for free, and this summary is written too straightforwardly."
"So, will we run into some interesting old rivals?" Manipulation appeared very interested. Greed had to look at him and ask, "Do you want to go?"
"Forget it," Manipulation shook his head and said.
"I think we will definitely run into Batman," Pride sighed softly and said. "Getting building materials is also a very important thing. I'm afraid they will think of it very soon. The Robins are also very likely to. Tim is very smart; he will soon realize that buying props is not cost-effective."
"I actually hope Dick can go," Pride paused and said, "He is very suitable for this kind of instance, but I don't think his luck is that good."
"It's just a matter of time," Greed appeared not to care much.
The Robins were indeed discussing which instance to go to, but different Robins had different focuses. Dick and the others discovered the instance of the "Most Miserable Batman" and were naturally clamoring to go.
Some of them bought some building materials and decided to build a few small houses first, then squeeze in, while others entered the instance in categories to earn points.
Jason's side deliberately skipped all Batman instances and started looking for stories of other worlds. Currently, they had their eyes on several universes, all of which were inclined toward violence, seemingly intending to go and have a killing spree.
The Tims, just as Schiller expected, started studying loopholes in the rules, feeling that they definitely couldn't use precious points to buy props, and it was better to go to the instance to "shear the sheep." They had their eyes on the same instance as Schiller and were currently studying strategies.
In a dark corner, a man wearing a truck driver's uniform sat there, drowsy, seemingly uninterested in all the arguments and laughter in the room, and no one came to pay attention to him.
This place was a madman's paradise now.
Jokers could generally be divided into two factions. One was the Order Faction led by the Prime Universe Joker. That's right, the most insane New 52 Prime Universe Joker had now become the Order Faction.
As the saying goes, where there are attachments, there are weaknesses. The Prime Universe Joker was now single-mindedly wanting to deal with that monster that was a combination of Batman and Joker. Since there was a specific target, it naturally counted as the Order Faction.
And most of the other Jokers just wanted to watch the world burn. If it weren't to see Batman, they wouldn't be here talking nonsense with others.
Madmen were inherently incapable of unity and cooperation. The Prime Universe Joker naturally didn't expect to have a hundred responses to his one call. He already had some allies, but his strength was not enough.
His first ally was Heath Joker. The Prime Universe Joker had been eyeing him for a long time. He believed this Joker was special; his chaos and madness were no less than those Jokers with special abilities.
Another was Phoenix Joker. This one belonged to the incidental category. The Prime Universe Joker didn't think this talk show host could play any role, but a team always needed cannon fodder.
There were also some other Jokers, but most were relatively ordinary. The Prime Universe Joker was here talking nonsense with other versions of himself, mainly to find one person—the Joker corresponding to Bruce.
The Prime Universe Joker naturally knew that the stronger Batman was, the stronger Joker would be. This mysterious young Batman had powerful strength beyond what ordinary people could imagine, so the Joker corresponding to him must be terrifyingly strong and would be a good helper for his plan.
But the only problem was that that universe seemed very peaceful, and there was no news of Joker causing trouble. The Prime Universe Joker naturally couldn't determine who the Joker corresponding to Bruce was.
Now, through conversations with this group of crazy Jokers, he was eliminating targets one by one. To be honest, although the Batmen of various universes were diverse and strange, there weren't really many variants of Joker, at least far fewer than Batman.
Among them, the more famous ones that had entered the Prime Universe Joker's line of sight were the following.
First was the Spectre Joker, who could be called the most powerful among Jokers. The Spectre himself was God's messenger, and he came under God's will to judge Joker, but failed, and was ultimately invaded by Joker, his consciousness becoming a laughing Spectre.
Then there was the Deadman Joker. When Joker attacked Jason Todd, Deadman passed by and originally wanted to possess Joker to save Jason, but failed and was ultimately possessed by Joker.
The First-Generation Chemist Joker was originally just a murderer good at using poison, but because the Batman comics of that era were inclined toward comedy, he also counted as half a comedic character, and his strength was naturally not to be underestimated.
Of course, there was also a stronger Five-Dimensional Emperor Joker, but all characters with similar strength levels had become administrators, correspondingly like Manhattan Batman and Golden Superman.
There was also a relatively special Joker, which was the Joker in the War of Jokes and Riddles. The reason he was special was that the "no-killing principle" of the Batman of that universe also came from him; it was this Joker who stopped Batman, who wanted to kill the Riddler.
But unfortunately, the Prime Universe Joker felt that these Jokers were not the Joker corresponding to that strange Batman, because they didn't have that feeling on them. As for what exactly that feeling was, the Prime Universe Joker couldn't say clearly; probably only the Prime Universe Batman could understand him.
Jokers had a common characteristic, which was that they were relatively active. Perhaps this was also to compare with Batman's solemn and dignified image. Most of them couldn't sit still, always jumping up and down, climbing to high places one moment and jumping into the river the next.
At this time, the Joker who was napping under the tree shade became somewhat out of place. The Prime Universe Joker discovered him, but he was Joker after all, and he wouldn't friendly remind anyone.
The Prime Universe Joker cleared his throat and said, "Now we are a team. We can pay anything to defeat and kill Batman. At least on this point, our interests are consistent. But if someone isn't even willing to do this..."
Almost all the Jokers stopped to look at him. They couldn't accept that someone had no interest in joining forces to kill all Batmen.
There weren't many people who didn't move, and now that Joker who was napping entered everyone's field of vision.
He seemed to feel something, opened his eyes, yawned in a daze, and said, "Sorry, I worked overtime last night, and I'm a bit sleepy now. What were we talking about?"
"Of course, killing Batman," the Prime Universe Joker said. "What are your thoughts on this? What kind of games have you played with the Batman of your universe?"
"There have been too many," that Joker smiled and said. "He even framed me, insisting that I stole someone's Royal Flush, but I don't do that kind of thing. Only that brat would be so shameless."
The Prime Universe Joker's ears twitched. He instinctively felt that this Joker was a bit wrong, so he said, "So you're a novice who has just started, actually choosing to play cards with Batman. Friends, would you make such a stupid choice?"
Other Jokers laughed wildly. Of course, they wouldn't play this kind of game. No matter how many lives were at stake, they wouldn't do it because they knew Batman would definitely follow the rules of poker; he wouldn't cheat, which was really too boring.
Wait, what did this guy just say? Batman framed him?
Batman had good and bad, and this Joker said very gently, "The Batman you know is a madman who wants to maintain order, but there are also people who, when facing the dark tide, don't stand up, but jump down."
"I agree with this point."
Another figure walked out from behind the tree. He was wearing a well-fitting suit, and there was even a shining badge pinned to his chest. Every move was full of elegance, but his tone carried a kind of authority that could not be ignored by a superior.
He reached out his hand to that Joker and said, "Jack Napier, nice to meet you."
"What a coincidence, I'm also called Jack," that Joker smiled and said. "Just an ordinary truck driver, not as great as you."
"Do you think I'm great?"
"You saved Gotham, doing better than Batman."
Instantly, all the Jokers widened their eyes. ===== CHAPTER 2833 =====
