"What? Aquaman is dead?" a soldier exclaimed in shock.
"Kill this guy to avenge Aquaman!" another soldier shouted, pointing his trident at Aquaman in the distance.
Aquaman frowned after reading this. He hadn't used any killing moves, so there was no way he could have killed him. Then, looking at Orm standing behind Aquaman, he immediately realized the truth. Unfortunately, even if he revealed that Orm was the real culprit, no one would believe him now.
"What bad luck." Aquaman sighed, gave Orm a cold look, and prepared to fight his way out of the Neptune's palace.
At that very moment, all the soldiers attacking Aquaman and Orm, who was watching from the sidelines, were frozen in place by a force—or rather, they were affected by a spell like time-stopping.
Aquaman paused for a moment, then remembered someone with such abilities in his world. He snorted coldly and said, "It's you? Ares. What are you doing here?"
"Calm down, Aquaman, I'm not here to fight you." The person who came was Ares, the Greek god of war, who was now in the form of a burly black man.
"Hmph, Ares, the God of War, says he didn't come here to fight. That's truly laughable." Aquaman didn't believe the words of a god who gained power through war.
“I’m on your side, Aquaman.” Ares, the God of War, smiled slightly and said, “I’ve been watching you ever since you arrived. I’m looking forward to seeing if you can stop Superman.”
"You'd be so kind?" Water Knight sneered.
"It's not that I'm being kind, it's just that with Superman ruling the entire Earth and no wars happening, my power has been greatly weakened, and I don't want things to continue like this." Ares, the God of War, made no attempt to hide his intentions, because he knew these superheroes would definitely try to stop Superman.
"You want to use us?" Aquaman shouted coldly.
"It's not about exploitation, it's just a matter of each getting what they need." Ares, the God of War, shrugged and said, "I know you won't let Superman continue to rule the entire earth, and I don't want that either. Rather than waiting, I'll give you a push from behind."
Aquaman fell silent after hearing this. If Superman hadn't become a dictator, this situation would have been somewhat beneficial to the entire planet. But in the real world, there are no "what ifs." This world's Superman had become a dictator, and a capricious one at that, where those who obeyed him prospered and those who defied him perished.
"So? What are your thoughts?" Ares asked, a slight smile playing on his lips, as he looked at the pensive Aquaman.
"Get me out of here first."
Aquaman knew that having more help was much better than having no help at all, so he wasn't too resistant. In fact, the God of War Ares in front of him was not the same as the one in their world. Although they were all incarnations of the God of War Ares, each incarnation was relatively independent.
“No problem. Pass on my goodwill to your companions. We are not enemies, well, at least not now.” Ares smiled slightly, then disappeared with Aquaman.

"We must rescue Batman!" Green Arrow exclaimed excitedly. "He's not like other superheroes; he's just a human."
“Don’t get excited, Green Arrow, we’ll get him out of here.” Bruce Wayne waved his hand and said, “We need a good plan.”
“You definitely won’t be worried, because he’s not your friend,” Green Arrow said, still somewhat agitated and quite angry.
"Alright, calm down, Green Arrow. I've already asked Athena to look for Batman's whereabouts, and we'll have news soon," Adam said to Green Arrow, seeing that he was getting agitated.
"Can that woman named Athena really find Batman?" Green Arrow asked.
“How rude of you, Mr. Oliver.” A woman’s voice suddenly came from the side, and then everyone saw a very beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes walk in from outside.
"Who is she?" Green Lantern asked.
“Athena, my family,” Adam said calmly. “How is it? Any news from Batman?”
“He’s currently imprisoned by Superman on the Frozen Throne, but according to the information I just overheard, they seem to be planning to publicly execute him in a week.” Athena glanced at Bruce Wayne and said, “However, Superman seems to see Batman as one of your alter egos, and he wants to lure you out.”
“I knew he would do that,” Bruce Wayne said after a moment of thought.
"So what do we do now?" Wonder Woman asked.
“We still have plenty of time to save Batman, and I believe he can hold on.” Ignoring Green Arrow’s angry expression, Bruce Wayne continued, “Now we need to rescue the Joker’s army. Now that Superman knows about the Joker, he will definitely send people to kill them. Besides, the Joker is a troublemaker in this world, and we can’t let him continue to cause trouble.”
“Alright, let’s go.” Green Arrow immediately stood up and said, “I’m furious right now and need to vent.”
“No, you can’t go. We have other things to do.” Bruce Wayne shook his head and said, “As for the Joker, I’ll leave it to Mr. Adam and Ms. Athena. As for the rest of you, come with me to Gotham City.”
“No problem, leave that to me.” Adam smiled. He was there to help, so he didn’t feel wronged at all because Bruce Wayne was in charge of the whole thing.
"And what about me? What do I need to do?" Barry Allen raised his hand like a good student and asked, "You can't expect me to do nothing, can you?"
“You’ll just stick with Mr. Adam. Of course, as soon as you show up, Reverse-Flash will definitely appear.” Bruce Wayne paused and said, “This Reverse-Flash is an unknown quantity. We must take care of him. You’ll have to figure that out yourself.”
Barry Allen shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll figure something out."
At this moment, Athena suddenly said to him, "Don't worry, I've found you a great helper. With her around, Reverse-Flash will definitely suffer a great loss."
Just as Barry Allen was about to ask Athena who the 'she' she was, suddenly, with a bang, Aquaman appeared in the hall accompanied by a cloud of white smoke.
"Wow, is this one of your friends too? That's quite a unique way to make an entrance," Adam said with a smile, glancing at Green Lantern.
“Yes, that’s Aquaman,” Green Lantern said to Adam, then asked Aquaman, “What’s going on with you? Didn’t you go to Atlantis?”
“Ares brought me here.” Aquaman briefly explained what had happened, then said to Wonder Woman, “He’s not the Ares from our world.”
"I know, don't worry, I'm not angry."
Because the situation between Wonder Woman and Ares is somewhat complicated, Aquaman is worried that Ares might be angry because he accepted Ares's kindness.
"That's how things were just now. So what's going on here?" Water Knight asked, looking at everyone.
“You’ve come at the right time. We were just about to set off for Gotham City, to my old house.” Bruce Wayne explained to them from another world, “Ever since I parted ways with Superman, he’s revealed my identity, sealed off my property, and there are supervillains guarding my old house. But we have to go there because there’s something important I’ve hidden there, and I need your help to retrieve it. It’s the key to defeating Superman.”
After hearing this, Adam asked curiously, "Oh, are you really sure your secret weapon can defeat Superman?"
Chapter 374 Saving Batman
Batman didn't answer Adam's question. Instead, he led the others away from the secret base, secretly heading to Wayne Manor on the outskirts of Gotham City—well, it's more accurate to call it a castle.
Adam and Barry Allen, the Flash, remained inside the secret base, exchanging bewildered glances. They clearly hadn't expected Bruce Wayne to just leave like that, without giving them any action plan or anything like that.
“What do we do now?” Barry Allen asked Adam, because he had always been the executor, not the planner.
Adam shrugged and said, "Well, it seems Bruce is testing me."
"What? It was just about rushing in, grabbing the Joker, and driving back the Injustice League. Why make it sound like that?" Athena said, pursing her lips.
“Ah, I always feel like you’ve become a little abnormal since you came to this world,” Barry Allen added.
“It’s not that I’ve become abnormal, it’s just that I’m unusually relaxed.” Adam shrugged and said, “In another world, everything had to be reviewed, for fear that my plans would hurt others or bring some kind of disaster to the world. But here, I only need to defeat people. I don’t have to think about anything else, because Bruce Wayne and the others will take care of it.”
"In the end, he just wanted to be lazy." Athena revealed the real reason, which ruined the atmosphere and made Adam a little embarrassed.
“Alright, it’s time for us to leave. By the way, Athena had someone who could help deal with Reverse-Flash. Who is she?” Barry Allen asked.
Adam smiled and said, "No need to ask Athena, I already know she's asleep."
Barry Allen was taken aback, then seemed to remember something and said incredulously, "You're not talking about Janata, are you?"
“That’s right, it’s Ganata!” Athena said with a smile. “The only one between us who can help you capture Reverse-Flash and make sure he can never bother you again.”
Barry Allen asked incredulously, "Really? Your magic has limits, and with Mr. Adam's human-like abilities, you could easily catch him, right?"
“Athena meant to completely eliminate Reverse-Flash, not just capture him,” Adam said to Barry Allen.
"Ah, completely eliminate Reverse Flash?" Barry Allen asked, somewhat surprised.
"Otherwise, why do you think I brought her here?" Adam said irritably.
Barry Allen nodded slightly after hearing this, indicating that he believed Adam's words. Fearing that the Injustice League would wipe out the Joker's army, they immediately set off. First, they returned to Barry Allen's house, where Barry Allen took Janata. Then, disguised, they rushed to an abandoned cathedral in Metropolis.
-----------------------
In a corner of the metropolis, in an abandoned cathedral, lies the location of the Joker's army's gathering. Originally, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and the others did not plan to gather here directly, but everything changed after the Joker arrived.
Everyone knows who the Joker is. He doesn't care about the lives of the Joker's army, nor does he care who rules the world. He only cares about himself, and probably his old flame Batman.
At this moment, he was already standing inside the church, looking at the nearly one thousand people standing below. This kind of thing would be impossible in another world, because in that world, apart from Harley Quinn who was always by his side, very few people regarded him as their idol. Yes, that's right, an idol. The people below all regarded the Joker as their idol, because he had used his wisdom to destroy a super hero.
Although these people initially idolized the Joker and then sought to resist humanity, the Joker now has no interest in conflict. Why bother with a boring person? His focus has long been on causing destruction, drawing out Batman, and leading him astray; everything else is secondary.
There was only one person he cared about from beginning to end: Batman.
He was now riding high, because he had not only acquired the Joker's army, but also received enhancement drugs from Harley Quinn. These drugs were originally given to Harley Quinn by Bruce Wayne to give to some important people, and the Joker happened to be a very important person to Harley Quinn, so she gave the enhancement drugs to him.
With these two things in hand, the Joker was extremely happy and arrogant. He stood on the platform, looking down at the people below and loudly proclaiming his plans. He wanted to be a king, not a clown that everyone hated.
Just then, the wall behind the Joker exploded with a loud bang, and a group of soldiers in full armor stormed in, opening fire immediately without giving the clowns any time to react.
The Joker was hit by several bullets, but because he had already taken dozens of pills developed by humans, the police's weapons had no effect on him. Seeing this, the Joker laughed even harder.
"Hehe, this world is so interesting," the clown laughed.
"Is that so? Then let me show you something even more interesting." A mocking voice rang out, followed by a bang as the clown was knocked away by the Hawkgirl's weapon.
Upon seeing this, Harley Quinn quietly took out the communicator Bruce Wayne had given him and sent out a distress signal. He then ordered all his men to immediately counterattack. Instantly, the entire scene descended into chaos, and the various level-one criminals and heroes of the Injustice League defeated these lowly soldiers without even needing to land a second blow.
Just then, Adam and the Flash finally arrived. The entire battlefield instantly transformed.
Before Reverse Flash arrived, the Flash was the most dazzling figure on the entire battlefield. He ran swiftly across the battlefield, taking away the weapons from all the police officers. As a result, these police officers were no match for the Joker's gang. Of course, since this was a war of purging corrupt officials, Adam couldn't care less about whether people died or not.
Of course, he didn't kill anyone himself. With the Flash, Athena, and Adam involved, the battle ended very quickly. Not only were the Injustice League members captured, but even the Joker, who tried to escape, was imprisoned in a magical cell by Athena. No one could rescue him without her permission unless they used violence, which would certainly kill anyone inside.
"Hey, why did you capture him?" Harley Quinn asked with some displeasure.
“Look closely, Harry, he’s not your clown, he’s from another world,” Barry Allen reassured him. “He won’t bring you any good luck, believe me.”
“Hey, I’m your Mr. J. Are you just going to watch me get taken away, sweetheart?” the Joker said to Harley Quinn.
"Athena, mute his voice." Adam said calmly, "Whether this clown is your clown or not, given his personality, letting him out will definitely cause some trouble, so it's better to let him stay here quietly. I'll let him out when I have the chance later."
Harley Quinn recalled how the Joker's army, which wouldn't have gathered otherwise, had assembled at the Joker's call and almost been wiped out. He also became suspicious of the Joker, so he stopped paying attention to the Joker in Athena's magical prison. Well, it should be said that Harley Quinn's intelligence only returned after he stopped hearing his voice.
Just then, Reverse Flash suddenly appeared and headed straight for the magical prison next to Athena, wanting to take the clown and the magical prison away. However, he underestimated Athena's magic too much. With a casual banishment spell, he sent Reverse Flash flying. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, Reverse Flash immediately dodged.
"Hey, the little mouse's here! Barry the cat, go catch him!" Janata suddenly ran out from the side and shouted at Barry Allen, pointing at Reverse-Flash.
"Okay, okay, I'll catch him, no, we'll catch him." Barry Allen smiled, hugged Janata to his arms, and dashed off.
Chapter 375 Saving Batman is Not the Next Chapter
The Jokers were attacked by the Injustice League and rescued by Adam and the Flash. Later, because Reverse-Flash suddenly caused trouble, the Flash took Janata with him to stop him from causing trouble forever.
“Master, Superman already knows the situation here. If we don’t evacuate quickly, we might run into him.” Athena said to Adam at this moment, “Although they can’t locate this place because of me, Superman can still fly over if given enough time.”
“I understand, Harley Quinn, right? You heard what I just said, Superman is coming, we should retreat,” Adam said to Harley Quinn.
“I understand. Please thank Batman for me.” Harley Quinn nodded slightly, then looked at the Joker, who was still trapped by Athena.
“He can’t be handed over to you. You have to accept reality, Miss Harley Quinn. He’s not the Joker you know.” Athena saw Harley Quinn’s expression and knew what he was thinking, so she immediately retorted.
“Well, I’m just a little reluctant to leave.” Harley Quinn sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll take everyone and leave first.”
After Harley Quinn finished speaking, she immediately turned and left. She felt that if she stayed any longer, she might really miss the Joker, and therefore attack Athena and Adam. Although the result of such an attack would certainly be an instant kill, don't forget that Harley Quinn is no ordinary woman; she is Harley Quinn, the Joker's right-hand woman, whom he personally trained.
