American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 422 A Different Marvel
As Lex spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it in the air twice.

His palm made a grasping motion, as if he had caught something in the air.

“You all know Tang’s abilities, right? That guy is more than just extremely strong.

Sometimes I even feel that his essence has exceeded the limits of three dimensions and reached the level of four or even five dimensions.

Whatever he wants, he just needs to grab it, and no matter how powerful the other party is, he will have to appear in front of him.

So... just a clown?
I admit that he is indeed a big trouble in the comics, but what about his essence?

Once he is brought before him by Downton with the power I described, he will really become a clown, won't he?"

After he finished speaking, Lex looked at the people around him with amusement.

Facing Lex's smile, Bruce frowned and said thoughtfully.

"So, who is the Joker?

If Downton wants to catch a clown in front of him...

Who will he catch then?

Is he a real clown?

Or hundreds of thousands of circus members in clown makeup?
Or, will Don also capture the two clowns that Miss Zatanna just brought into our manor?
Among them is a child who is only twelve or thirteen years old?"

Bruce said as he shook his head worriedly.

“Excuse me, although the Joker’s abilities in the comics are indeed, as you said, somewhat weak in front of Tang.

But anyway, after checking out many comics, I have to admit that the Joker is almost the most important and troublesome villain in DC Comics... that is, in our world!
Although I have always emphasized that comics cannot necessarily be used as a reference.

But considering the Joker's proportion in the entire world, I don't think he will be as easy to deal with as you said.

The most difficult thing for him to solve is his confusing identity. "

When he said this, Bruce's eyes became gloomy, and he couldn't help but think of some comic book plots he had seen.

Even though the content of the comics seemed too simple and superficial to him.

But he could still see some troubles of the Joker behind the simple comics.

He just thought about it and continued.

“Lex, don’t forget that in the comics, even when I sat on the Mobius chair, which symbolizes omniscience, I only glimpsed the fact that there were three clowns in the world.

Considering I can't even pronounce their names, it's likely that the number three in my mouth carries a Mobius-like flavor.

That is to say... there are three clowns, and three refers to infinity.

Otherwise, there can't really be only three clowns in the world, right?
And, most importantly, even now, the comics have never locked down the true identity of any Joker.

Could Arthur be the Joker?
Stop joking, he is a nice man, shy, and willing to take care of his mother. Even though he lives in poverty, he still has a dream of bringing happiness to others. Even though he himself suffers from a disease, he tries his best not to affect others.

And Jerome, he was just a kid.

Are they clowns?
How can it be!

But aren't they really clowns?
Not necessarily! "

Bruce raised his hand and drew a Möbius strip in the air. He continued speaking as he gestured.

"Let's look at it from another angle. Arthur's family is poor and he suffers from mental illness. Once his spiritual pillar, his mother, completely collapses, isn't it possible for him to become a clown?

As for Jerome, although the child is still very young, his original family is undoubtedly the kind that can cultivate a clown. Why can't a child really embark on the path of a clown because of the hardships of his childhood?
You should understand what I mean.

I never worry about one clown, what I worry about is... everyone may become a clown!
I don't know what the relationship between Tang and God is, and I don't want to investigate it, especially after I know that we live in a comic book. I don't think God's will can transcend the power of the dimension and affect the real creator.

So, while our world has God, will it still have the power to correct certain aspects of the plot?
Will there be new clowns every time we kill one? Will there be a day when even Arthur and Jerome, the circus recruits that Zack picked up from the street, become real clowns?"

After he finished speaking, Bruce looked at everyone with melancholy.

Facing Bruce's gaze, Lex curled his lips in disdain.

"As expected of you, Bruce, a man whose heart is always full of worries.

But even if things develop as you said, what can we do?

A clown appears today, and Tang easily handles it. A clown appears tomorrow, and Tang easily handles it again. "

"What about Emperor Joker? Lex?"

Bruce interrupted Lex.

He took a deep breath with a gloomy temperament and continued to speak to Lex.

“Don’t forget one word, Lex, and that’s…version!
There are many versions of one character, so do you know which version of the Joker we will meet in the future?
Is he just an ordinary clown in the city of Gotham who just had a bad day?
Or is it the Emperor Clown who sees the galaxy as a failure and spreads chaos to many parallel worlds and multiverses?
Or...don't forget what the definition of chaos is?
Tang always emphasizes his freedom. In his words, he is an extremely free person.

But there is no boundary between freedom and chaos, right?

The freedom that Tang talked about today might turn into chaos tomorrow. Maybe it's not because we didn't find Tang's comics, but because... he is actually the most dangerous one in our world... a clown who spreads chaos and brings chaos to every corner!

Among all the villains in the entire DC world, the Joker is always number one by a large margin!

In any case, we must remain vigilant against such Satan!"

Bruce said this firmly, and at the same time he made some decisions.

On the side, listening to Bruce's words, Lex shrugged with interest.

"Satan? You mean the ancient Hebrew definition of Satan?

At that time, Satan was not a symbol of the devil, but represented an enemy. In this light, it is not surprising to say that the Joker is Satan, because he represents chaos, and chaos is indeed the enemy of every world shrouded by rules!
Yes, yes, the Joker will always be the number one villain. If he becomes number two, then there will be no number one in the world.

But you see, I had just experienced the disaster in Washington not long ago, and the death toll of hundreds of millions was still before me.

Then, in the wizarding world, I personally launched a siege against the Wild Hunt, and every corpse of the Wild Hunt was related to me.

Soon after, Tony's hometown became a mess again. If you count it, at least tens of millions of lives were lost.

Compared to what I just saw, what did the Joker bring to Gotham?
A few... or dozens of lives?
But I’m used to it…”

At this point, Lex patted Bruce on the shoulder.

"My friend, I know what you mean. Human life really shouldn't be measured by quantity.

But we have to consider Tony. People are dying in his hometown, a lot of people are dying.

Gotham's crime rate is very low now. Even if the Joker's crime is dozens of times worse than it is now, it cannot be compared with Gotham's crime rate during its peak period.

In that case, let's first consider our next-door neighbor Tony.

If we improve the manufacturing system of smart armor in a timely manner, then after the problems at Marvel are solved, the smart armor that is invested in the social system on a large scale can also benefit our Gotham City and even the entire United States.

Just like the problems that two or three of us cannot solve can be solved by hundreds or thousands of automatic mechas.

If we can't solve the problem of clowns in the future, then thousands of mechas will surely be able to do so.

If that doesn’t work, just add a ten thousand after the hundreds or thousands! ”

Lex clenched his fist with great confidence and lightly punched the air.

Seeing this, Bruce was silent for a moment, then nodded. "You're right, I understand."

"Yeah, that sounds good to me too. Lex Luthor is going to be the savior of my hometown..."

Tony added, and continued with his work.

Looking at Tony who became busy again, Bruce and Lex looked at each other and returned to their seats.

Looking at everyone who continued to work, Carmine nodded expressionlessly.

Then he asked Victor softly.

“Victor, am I getting old?

I can understand every word they say, but I just can't understand what they are saying?"

Carmine's eyelids drooped slightly, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes.

“Comics, another world, these words made my heart surge, but I couldn’t believe it was real.

Victor, we are old friends, would you mind helping me solve this puzzle?"

"Haha, Carmine, you have indeed aged a lot~"

Victor smiled and bared his teeth at Carmine's words, making himself look more dangerous and perverted.

He continued to speak to Carmine while sneering.

“If you’re young, you don’t ask questions like that.

Do you fucking remember what you would say when you were younger?

When you feel like you should know more, but realize that you actually don’t know enough.

Don't deny your abilities, perhaps you just aren't qualified enough to understand.

In the past, you were indeed the king of Gotham, but now, in this manor, you are far from being the core.

We are indeed old friends, so for the sake of our friendship, I must advise you to put aside your curiosity.

You work for Don in order to cure his illness.

Then let’s focus on curing the disease first.

Once you get used to the current environment, have put in enough effort, and have achieved considerable results.

Then who can stop you from understanding our world and our messy team better, haha~"

After he finished speaking, Victor couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he rubbed his pants.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would have to lecture you. This kind of verbal attack feels so damn good!

You continue to wait here for Boss Tang to wake up, and then report to him. I have to find a place to relieve myself!
My heart is so fucking excited right now, I'm going to have a good time!

I never thought that Gotham being too clean would become a problem for me!
Then I'll go to the Metropolis to play, I hope the gangs in the Metropolis won't disappoint me, haha!"

Victor left as soon as he said he would, without taking the Joker's problem seriously at all.

On the one hand, although Victor knew about traveling through the world, he had never read the comics and really had no idea what the Joker was.

And the number one villain that Bruce and others talked about, and the bank robberies and police murders he brought about, were indeed a bit underwhelming in his eyes.

After all, when Victor killed police officers in the past, he would swagger into the police station and do it.

He is a man who has seen the world!

On the other hand, when Carmine, a Roman, ruled Gotham, Victor was the top general under the Italian help, with double flowers and red sticks, the captain of the field members, and a true soldier king.

He was a tall man at that time, so whenever he encountered trouble, he had to take the lead. Only when he couldn't take it anymore would it be someone else's turn.

But now, Victor has let it go. In today's manor, he, Victor, is at most a mascot.

If the sky falls, there are still tall people to support it. Even if we don’t talk about Don, there are still people like Clark and Zatanna to support it.

Even Freud is much stronger than Victor!
So is it Victor's turn to worry about the troubles the manor has encountered?
He might as well find some better hair growth potion, or try to use magic to help himself grow hair!
Just like that, the free-spirited Victor ran to the metropolis and carried out three or four vicious gang-eating-gang operations in a row.

By 9:40 in the morning, Victor had earned over 20 million just by cheating other cheaters.

At the same time, inside the manor.

Selina fixed Donton's tie, then returned to the couch, crossed her legs and snuggled up there.

While shaking off her fair and soft feet, Selena lit a ladies' cigarette and asked while puffing out smoke.

"Sir, Bruce and Lex are having a lot of fun playing with you, so can I join in?

The new world should be quite interesting, and I also want to travel more while I’m still young.

So, can you take me with you?

Or do you want me to stay at home and watch you hanging out with a bunch of men and being inseparable?"

"joke!"

Listening to Selina's words, Donton grinned and shook his hands.

"While I was out having fun, weren't you also at home hanging out with a bunch of women?"

"Hey, Tang, I'm just a little wet, are you complaining about me being too sticky?"

"How could I, damn it, I'll just take you with me later~"

Donton pulled Selina up and put on her underwear for her personally.

After Selina had packed up, the two of them went to the laboratory, intending to bring Bruce and the other two, who were well prepared, and more than seventy freshly-made intelligent armors back to the Marvel world.

Looking at the stunning Selina, Tony couldn't help swallowing.

"Tang, you have such a good woman, and you still go and slap my wife's ass!!!"

"So I'm going to send my gorgeous wife to spank your wife's ass?"

Donton smiled wickedly, exchanged greetings, and then led everyone out of the DC world.

As the flames faded, everyone in Downton landed one after another, but as soon as they landed, Tony couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.

"Wait, where the hell did you take me?
Is this still my New York? F*ck?!!"

Tony's last word wasn't a curse, because there really was a lot of grass around.

Of course, the surrounding grass is indeed beautiful as a landscape.

But the fire of war burning on this wide grassland is the most attractive thing!

They landed in the middle of a battlefield surrounded by aliens!
And the leading alien...

He is so purple!
