Chapter 421 The Villain Army Concept
After Barbara drank the potion, it took her more than ten minutes to finally stop struggling. Rune put her back in the wheelchair, just like she had been.
At this point, Barbara could only remain silent.
What could she do? Break her own leg again? So all she could do now was stare intently at Batman.
This awkward silence lasted for a while. Batman himself wasn't very good at starting conversations, and Barbara was annoyed by the other's presumptuousness, so she was unwilling to speak either.
Rune had no choice but to find some topics to talk about himself.
"If you hate Batman—why don't you try turning your head?" Rune looked at Barbara. "Maybe Batman will just fly away in a flash."
Barbara glared at Bruce. "Yes, I have no doubt he would do it!"
So she kept staring at the man. "I know him too well. This coward doesn't even dare to kill the Joker! Even though the Joker once made me, made Jason Todd—"
"Enough!" Batman roared, his face grim. He didn't want to hear that name; in this matter, he might really be considered a coward.
"Enough? How dare you say such a thing!" Barbara shouted back at the man who had once been like a father to her. "You can say 'enough' again when you finally give up on associating with the Joker!"
"—The Joker can't die. He told me that anyone who kills him will become the next Joker," Batman said after a moment of silence.
Bruce didn't doubt the Joker's words; that crazy man would never lie about something like this.
Rune nodded in agreement. "The Joker is right. Anyone who kills him will become the next Joker. Can you imagine a Batman who's smiling?"
Rune was referring to the Batman Who Laughs, one of DC's most notorious villains in recent years and one of the strongest villains, who contributed the famous scene of two multiverse-level beings throwing planets at each other's faces.
However, Rune believes that in order to make this Batman of the main universe the ultimate Batman who laughs, he needs to kill the three Jokers in Gotham City.
In the Metal Event, the Joker successfully committed suicide in front of the main universe Batman and entered the main universe Batman's body, but the main universe Batman did not become the Batman Who Laughs.
Upon hearing this, Batman immediately turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
If this is true, it's truly terrible news.
As a symbol of fear, Batman cannot show any emotion. If Batman were to actually laugh, it could only mean one thing—the Joker had succeeded.
"That's just a rumor!" Barbara didn't believe Rune's words, or rather, the idea was too terrifying for her to accept.
The only way she could imagine turning other people into clowns was with clown gas.
But whether it was herself or other members of the bat family, they had all inhaled or witnessed others inhaling this poisonous gas, and there was also an antidote.
Ordinary people who inhale it can at best become cheap clown imitators, like members of the Joker gang; they can never become the real Joker. That terrifying man cannot be replicated.
Barbara firmly believed this.
Rune glanced at Barbara, not in a hurry to refute. "You'll find out later whether it's true or not."
Rune casually tossed two vials of potion to Batman and asked, "The Batsuit can wait. Now you should have Wonder Woman's contact information, right?"
As he spoke, Rune took out a pen and a piece of paper.
Batman took the paper and pen and casually sold Wonder Woman's contact information, adding, "Don't disturb her during this time."
"I know." Rune carefully put away the note. Wonder Woman was probably doing *that* with Superman at this time, and he wasn't going to get involved.
Superman wouldn't mind interrupting their business, but Diana would most likely fight him. That's how Amazons are; for them, fighting and sex are essentially the same—both are forms of entertainment.
However, Rune was also racking his brains about what to give Diana. In Diana's eyes, or rather, in the eyes of the Amazons, Wonder Woman's skinny figure wasn't very pretty. They believed that big muscles were a sign of a good civilization.
So, for Diana, the beauty potion should probably be called the ugliness potion.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Rune just wanted to get rid of this awkward atmosphere.
"goodbye."
After saying that, Rune teleported back to Earth 3. The matters in the main universe were almost settled, and he had obtained what he needed most. Apart from the forging techniques of the Vulcan, Rune basically had nothing else to obtain in the main universe.
After reporting his safety to the two volunteer leaders, Deathstroke and Jester, and informing them that all the leaders of the Crime Syndicate were dead, Rune returned to his own universe.
His requirement for Earth-3 was that it could serve as an army capable of rapidly deploying to other universes to support other worlds. The overwhelming force of good over evil in Earth-3 created a large number of righteous counterparts of villains, which were perfectly suited to deal with himself among the Forsaken.
This is a surprise force, but so far, the volunteer forces in this world have become divided.
On the eve of victory, the two esteemed leaders, the Clown and the Death Knell—well, the highly respected ones—had some questions about the way the country was governed.
The clown respects free will, wants to establish a small government, return freedom to the people, and abandon oppressive rule.
However, Deathstroke desired a repressive regime, believing that people were inherently evil and that without a strong government to suppress them, the world would inevitably descend into chaos. Both men had their own supporters, as for Rune—
Upon hearing this news, he decided to send the clown to the main world.
If this Joker does well, he might replace Robin as Batman's favorite.
As for the reason—it's because the people of Earth 3 are indeed as Deathstroke predicted, and Rune needs this world to provide a sufficiently formidable army to fight the Forsaken at crucial moments. Naturally, it's impossible to let the Jester promote any kind of freedom and democracy in this world.
If things go as expected, this crucial moment should be three years from now, at which time the origin wall of the DC Multiverse Tribunal will be breached.
On a more optimistic note, since only a small section of the Origin Wall is damaged, there won't be many Forsaken invaders at that time, and the various cults and the colossi on the Origin Wall will also share some of the pressure.
However, the Origin Wall will soon be completely shattered, and Rune must ensure that by then he has a powerful enough force to support the main DC universe as the primary front, and to share the burden for other universes, including his own.
Of course, Rune wouldn't let this army blindly die; he would definitely enhance their physical attributes. As for the enhancing potions—
He squinted at Compound No. 5, which was placed in the box.
This is the optimal solution for the military. In addition to granting users superpowers such as super speed and laser eyes, Compound V also provides physical enhancement.
However, those generals cannot rely solely on Compound V as their command center; they must possess significantly greater strength and the ability to maintain combat effectiveness in space.
In that case, compound number five wouldn't be enough.
