Chapter 1207 - Ch: 615-621

Chapter 615 Trial

"It's over, the world is doomed."

Seeing Trigon sweep through the Superheroes and turn them into puppets, the audience was filled with despair. This time, it really seemed to be over.

Before long, all Superheroes would become Trigon's puppets.

General Zod was ecstatic. He had thought he would lose this time, but he didn't expect Trigon to give him such a big surprise.

It seemed he could drink again.

Not only were ordinary citizens in despair, Red Tornadoalso believed the Superheroes were doomed to lose. Therefore, it decisively activated its self-destruct system, with its nuclear power running at full capacity.

Then, Red Tornado stared intently at Trigon. When it was about to explode, it would charge at full speed towards Trigon, blowing him up and completing its mission.

Red Tornado, victory is certain!

"Red Tornado's self-destruct system has been activated. It will explode in thirty seconds."

A Scientist from the military shouted in alarm. Everyone in the President's office and the frontline command center simultaneously changed their expressions. General Calvinimmediately thought to inform the Superheroes, but just then, a General said:

"We cannot inform them. If they escape, Trigon will definitely follow. With his speed, he can escape very far in thirty seconds.

In that case, not only will Red Tornado sacrifice itself in vain, but the world will also remain in danger.

Furthermore, since a nuclear explosion is now a certainty, I think we should launch a nuclear missile at Metropolisto ensure Trigon's demise."

Everyone looked at this General in shock. This guy was truly ruthless; not only did he want to completely kill Trigon, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate the Superheroes.

The military's animosity towards Superheroes was common knowledge.

Everyone's gaze turned to the President. The President hesitated, then slowly said, "May God…"

"God will not forgive you. Don't bring God into everything, though he is indeed your father."

Just then, a cold voice sounded: "Human filth, Judgment Day is moved up by ten years."

"…"

All the high-ranking officials were utterly bewildered. The President swallowed and cautiously asked, "Ghost Rider?"

No one answered. At this moment, an aide pointed at the screen and excitedly shouted, "Ghost Rider has appeared."

Everyone turned their heads and saw Ghost Riderdescending from the sky, landing on Red Tornado's head.

Red Tornado looked at Ghost Rider with a puzzled expression, wondering, "Why is he standing on my head?"

Ghost Rider said nothing. A large amount of hellfire spread from his feet to Red Tornado's entire body. Red Tornado was quickly controlled, and then it rapidly transformed within the flames.

Controlling machinery is a basic ability of Ghost Rider. In fact, this avatar can not only control machinery but also control living beings, turning them into mounts.

Soon, Red Tornado transformed into a gigantic drill. Then, the drill and Ghost Rider simultaneously rotated at high speed, turning into a black flame Cyclone that soared into the sky.

Ghost Rider wasted no time, controlling the flame Cyclone to sweep everything around and fiercely spin towards Trigon.

The flame Cyclone's speed was as fast as lightning, as if it could even pierce through a planet.

Man and Drill united, Heaven-Piercing Breakthrough.

"Hmm?"

Trigon sensed the movement behind him and quickly turned his head. Then, his six eyes simultaneously fired Heat Vision at the flame Cyclone.

The Heat Vision was powerful, but it couldn't stop the flame Cyclone. It was broken through with irresistible force, as this was nuclear power operating at full speed.

"Ghost Rider, you won't kill me a second time."

Seeing this, Trigon let out a furious roar. Black lightning power transformed into a three-meter-thick colossal light beam, fiercely striking the flame Cyclone.

The flame Cyclone was completely enveloped by the colossal light beam. Just then, a figure rushed out of the Cyclone, and a long spear transformed into a straight black light, instantly piercing through Trigon's body.

The colossal light beam abruptly vanished, and the remains of Red Tornado fell to the ground with a thud. Trigon looked at the spear in his chest in disbelief, "How is this possible? With my current defense, why was I pierced by a single spear?"

The reason was simple: there was Kryptonite on the spear.

"I won't lose."

Trigon was about to make a last-ditch effort but suddenly felt a large amount of strength draining away, and his expression drastically changed.

At this moment, Ghost Rider released the spear and shouted at Trigon, "Look into my eyes, you scum."

Trigon knew something was wrong and tried to close his eyes, but to his surprise, his eyes uncontrollably looked into Ghost Rider's eyes. The next second, his consciousness was ignited.

This time, Trigon would not have another chance to escape.

"Ghost Rider, we're not done! I will definitely kill you!"

Trigon roared in fury. Twice he had almost won, only to be thwarted by Ghost Rider. His hatred for Ghost Rider was beyond description.

"I'll be waiting."

Ghost Rider sneered disdainfully, "Once I find a way, I'll even scatter your main body."

Trigon wanted to say more, but he had no chance. His consciousness was completely burned to ashes. Then, Doomsday's massive body fell forward, caught by Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider thought for a moment and sent a ball of flame into Doomsday's body to maintain his vitality.

As mentioned before, Ghost Rider can control not only machinery but also living beings. He planned to modify Doomsday and turn him into a Super Mount.

There's no need to elaborate on how powerful Doomsdayis; even the Superheroes were battered and in a sorry state. What's more terrifying is that they are currently only in their nascent stage.

Additionally, Andrew's Doomsday is an enhanced version: he possesses Trigon's demonic power, making him stronger than other Doomsdays in every aspect.

With Trigon dead, all the puppets returned to normal. The Superheroes collectively sighed in relief. Aquaman even collapsed onto the ground directly, finally over. They had almost been completely wiped out just now.

If Ghost Rider hadn't stepped in to kill Trigon, the Superheroes really would have been completely wiped out by him. That Doomsday Trigon earlier was truly too strong.

Fortunately, Ghost Rider was even stronger.

The America high-ranking officials were also beaming with joy, some even applauding continuously. It was great; both Trigon and Red Tornado had been dealt with.

The disaster was completely quelled, and the world was safe once again.

"Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider…"

The audience cheered wildly. The entire Earth echoed with Ghost Rider's name.

At this moment, Ghost Rider's prestige completely surpassed that of other Superheroes, making him the most popular and worshipped Super Hero.

In the ruins, Zatanna said to Raven, "I told you, with Ghost Rider taking action, there's definitely no problem. He's my idol, you know."

"The embodiment of God is indeed very powerful."

Raven nodded repeatedly. She secretly pondered whether to cooperate with Ghost Rider to completely resolve Trigon.

Sealing Trigon indefinitely wasn't a solution; he was constantly trying to escape.

"I feel like I'm in love. This is a real man."

Mary looked at Ghost Rider with adoration. Hancock, beside her, felt an arrow shot through his chest. It was over. His wife—no, his ex-wife—ran off with someone.

Hancock wailed, "Why is my life so bitter?"

Where there was joy, there was naturally displeasure. General Zod smashed his wine glass and cursed as he exited the live broadcast.

Ghost Rider looked up at the Superheroes and said coldly, "Humans, constantly courting death, one day, you will truly die."

After speaking, Ghost Rider, with Doomsday and Red Tornado, transformed into a streak of fire and vanished.

Aquaman asked a bit bewildered, "What does this big shot mean?"

"He means that if humanity continues like this, he will initiate judgment and cleanse humanity, just like God initiated the Great Flood."

Batman walked over from a distance and said, "This time, it was a double disaster. The first was Deathstroke's greed for immortality, which led to Trigon's arrival.

The second was Lex Luthor using Kryptonian corpses to create monsters. Both disasters were brought about by humanity itself.

The reason the disaster became so terrifying later was also due to humanity itself.

Humans are constantly courting death, and in the future, they might even court death more."

Both the Superheroes and the audience were somewhat silent. Indeed, this disaster was entirely brought about by humanity itself, or rather, humanity was courting death.

If this continues, it would be perfectly normal for Ghost Rider to initiate a Great Judgment.

Many people's expressions grew solemn. Ghost Rider as a teammate was indeed reassuring, but if he became an enemy… then everyone could probably just go to bed.

"Actually, there's no need to worry so much."

Tony said flippantly, "Look on the bright side, before Ghost Rider takes action, humanity might have already courted its own death."

"Are you sure that's looking on the bright side?"

Everyone rolled their eyes. Green Lantern complained, "We humans are truly great. We don't even need Ghost Rider to act; we actively seek death ourselves."

Aquaman said, "The land is too dangerous. I'd better go back to the bottom of the sea."

Everyone rolled their eyes again, then many sighed inwardly. Natural disasters and man-made calamities; man-made calamities seemed to be more numerous than natural ones.

"Let's leave tomorrow's problems for tomorrow's us to solve."

Andrew stepped forward and said, "As for now, let's deal with the present matters, such as treating the wounded, clearing the ruins, rescuing citizens, disposing of Doomsday's remains, and apprehending the culprits of this incident, and so on.

Furthermore, military, this time was so severe, you have made great contributions. I think the public would be very happy to hold a celebration for you."

"We are very happy."

All the citizens shouted in unison. If it weren't for the military, so many people wouldn't have died. This time, they absolutely couldn't be let off easily.

The President and the military smiled bitterly. The high-ranking officials quickly calculated in their minds who to hand over to take the blame.

Then, the Superheroes stopped talking nonsense and began rescuing people, cleaning up, and dealing with various loose ends, such as Man-Bat, half-demons, and so on.

The military's audacity was truly thick. They secretly sent a team to extract Doomsday's body tissue, but Tonyangrily drove them away.

If Doomsday's genes were taken by the military, God knows what else they would cause.

"Alright, that's all for this time. See you next time."

Andrew said. This time, the audience didn't spam the chat because they weren't in the mood. There was nothing they could do; the casualties were simply too tragic.

After statistical analysis, at least tens of thousands of people died in Metropolis, and even more were injured. As for the economic losses, they were countless. The insurance companies in Metropolis were probably going to cry themselves to death.

Chapter 616 Harvest

Additionally, Lex Luthor couldn't be caught this time; he mysteriously disappeared. As for the base that created Doomsday, Tony completely took it over. Unfortunately, due to the big explosion, there wasn't much valuable stuff left inside.

Deathstroke's mercenary organization was completely destroyed by Batman. Deathstroke, who valued money over life, died trying to advance his career.

In any case, this disaster officially ended. The southern area of Metropolis was almost reduced to ruins, and countless citizens wept.

Although the disaster was over, there were still many loose ends to tie up, such as how to appease the public's anger towards the military, post-disaster reconstruction, and various other matters. In short, it would take several months for things to calm down.

After a few months, uh, the next wave of disasters should arrive.

For the president, the most urgent matter now isn't restraining the military. In fact, he doesn't intend to stop the military from continuing their research; he will only make them more rigorous so they don't cause major trouble again.

With so many disasters, how could the military not be allowed to continue their research?

For the president, the most urgent matter now is to guard against Ghost Rider.

That's right, guarding against Ghost Rider. If he can warn high-level humans from afar, he can also kill high-level humans from afar. They must find a way to stop him. As an incarnation of God, Ghost Rider won't care about things like profit or power.

Not to mention, Ghost Rider also plans to initiate a Great Judgment.

Don't look at these people constantly talking about God; if you ask them to die for God, they definitely won't be willing.

"Amanda, the higher-ups are preparing to reinstate you."

A Sky Eye Society executive found Amanda and said, "You have two missions: one is to continue leading the Suicide Squad to handle matters that the official finds inconvenient to disclose publicly.

The other is to uncover all information about Ghost Riderand devise a way to deal with him."

"Although Ghost Rider saved the world, he is uncontrollable and indeed a threat."

Amanda wasn't surprised; the human higher-ups are very afraid of Death.

"Can I actively provoke Ghost Rider?"

Amanda thought for a moment and asked. The Sky Eye Society executive smiled and said, "As long as you're not afraid of Death, of course, there's no problem. But if something happens, the official won't save you."

"I'm not that foolish. I'll only let those prisoners provoke Ghost Rider."

Amanda smiled and said, "Only this way can we figure out his strength and weaknesses."

"Very good."

The executive was very satisfied. He said, "We will provide you with sufficient funds. Also, Amanda, don't cause any more trouble, or no one will be able to save you."

"Once bitten, twice shy. I won't be so careless again."

Amanda solemnly promised. In the past year or so, she had deeply reflected on herself and would never make the same mistake again.

The current Amanda has transformed into a brand new Amanda.

Andrew didn't know that the official was guarding against Ghost Rider. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. At this moment, he was tallying his gains from this time.

First, there was prestige and fear. This time, Trigonbrought immense fear to the entire world, so the harvest was enormous. Trigon could be called a model worker of the new era.

In addition to the two usual gains, this time he also acquired Man-Bat manufacturing technology (obtained from Dr. Kirk afterward), a soulless Doomsday body, Red Tornado, and a formatted Indigo.

Overall, the harvest was quite good, adding a few new trump cards. Of course, one was also used, which was Kryptonite.

After the military learned of Kryptonite's existence, they had asked Andrew for it, but Andrew directly refused.

Batman also came to ask for some, and Andrew gave him some Kryptonite powder, telling him to research it slowly, saying he might have unexpected gains.

Superman didn't care too much about Andrew hiding the Kryptonite. After all, he was pure-hearted, and he trusted Andrew.

Additionally, this time, three reserve team members were gained. That's right, three: besides Hancock and Mary, there was also the demon girl Raven.

After much thought, Raven decided to stay in Metropolisand save the world with the Justice League.

Although Raven has demon blood, she is undoubtedly a good person. In the future, she should join the Justice League.

Batman was very satisfied with Raven's decision. Raven is very dangerous, and Trigon behind her is equally dangerous, requiring close monitoring.

In short, it was another great harvest. The only pity was that Lex Luthor escaped. This guy is undoubtedly trouble and will definitely reappear in the future.

...

At the Daily Planet headquarters, Andrew handed a glass of juice to Raven and said, "Raven, you don't need to worry about Batman's gaze. He's wary of everyone, including me."

"Actually, my real age is much older than I look."

Raven looked at the juice, a little speechless. Andrewsmiled and said, "If you were truly old, you would gladly accept this glass of juice. Except for their youth, women always wish they were younger.

For example, my wife, whenever I mention age, she glares at me."

Raven chuckled, covering her mouth. She took a sip of juice and said, "Mr. Wang, the reason I joined the Justice League, besides wanting to do good, is also to find a way to completely eliminate Trigon.

I wonder if you can offer me some help, such as Ghost Rider's contact information or something?"

"That, I really don't have."

Andrew shook his head. He said, "Although I don't have Ghost Rider's contact information, I have a witch under my command who almost ruled the world.

You, her, plus Zatanna, might be able to figure out a way to completely solve Trigon.

To be honest, I don't want to see Trigon again at all. If the same villain appears repeatedly, the audience will suffer from aesthetic fatigue."

"A witch who once ruled the world? You mean that dirty witch?"

Raven was astonished. She had been on Earth for several years and naturally knew about that dark witch: "Mr. Wang, you actually subdued her? Aren't you afraid she's dangerous?"

"Don't worry, since I subdued her, I'm certainly confident."

Andrew smiled and said, "Uh, a word of caution: find anyone else, but never find that scoundrel Constantine. Otherwise, the next time he appears, it will most likely be Trigon's true form."

"He really is a scoundrel. Is there any punishment for him?"

Raven agreed deeply. Without Constantine's magic array, things would never have gotten this bad.

"He's currently at the construction site, sweating for the reconstruction of Metropolis. He works twenty-four hours a day. He's still a victim, so we can't be too harsh on him."

Andrew said. Raven secretly complained, working twenty-four hours a day, and that's not being too harsh?

Then, Andrew gave Moore's contact information to Raven. Raven thanked him, stood up, put on her cloak, and left.

Andrew watched Raven's retreating figure and nodded in satisfaction. Another powerful combatant. The Justice League, under his leadership, was becoming increasingly strong.

No wonder, he was just that outstanding.

Of course, this was far from enough. Future disasters would become increasingly terrifying. Gods, demons, and Darkseid would all appear.

In the end, a cosmic war was not impossible. The cosmic consciousness would mobilize all the power it could to destroy humanity on Earth.

After dealing with Raven, Andrew opened a video call and asked Tony, "How's Hancock doing?"

"After this incident, he's opened up. Now he can listen to what I say, unlike before, when it went in one ear and out the other."

Tony said, "Also, the public's attitude towards Hancockhas changed significantly. There were even public protests in Los Angeles, wanting Hancock to return."

"Very good."

Andrew nodded in satisfaction. He said, "Hire a few public relations experts to teach Hancock, and also, have him return to Earth once a week to be a Super Hero for a day."

Tony chuckled, "Then, once he accumulates enough prestige, we'll put him on the altar and sacrifice him."

"Are you making me sound like some great villain?"

Andrew retorted, "If anyone's getting sacrificed, it's you. You single-handedly eliminated a Doomsday this time, and your prestige is rising incredibly fast."

Tony arrogantly said, "Isn't it natural for me, Iron Man, to shine everywhere?"

Andrew said, "Be careful not to get slapped in the face again, Kidnapping Man."

"The Kidnapping Man in this universe isn't me, it's you. You've been kidnapped twice, but unfortunately, they both failed."

Tony looked regretful. Then, he thought of something and asked, "By the way, about you making Damian wear women's clothes, did Batman give you any trouble?"

"I helped him turn his son into a lady. He's too grateful to trouble me."

Andrew smiled and said, "Batman and Damian are trying to rescue Talia. Talia is being held by Luthor in a South American country, which is a bit troublesome."

Talia's location was divined by Zatanna. There was no other way; with Lex Luthor missing, it would be difficult to find Talia through normal means.

As for that lady's dress, it was still on Damian. The six and a half days weren't up yet.

Talia would surely be very touched when she saw her son's new look, uh, probably.

"Just wait for their family of three to give you a combined beatdown, you wicked great demon king."

Tony complained. He thought of something and asked, "By the way, what are you going to do with that Indigo? Cyborg said he wants to study her, of course, after you've read all her memories."

Andrew looked disgusted: "Beast."

Tony explained, "He just wants to study how Indigotravels through the network. This ability is very powerful; even Cyborg can't do it."

Andrew suddenly realized: "Worse than a beast."

"..."

Tony was speechless. If Cyborg heard those two comments, he'd probably cry himself unconscious in the restroom.

"Indigo's memories have been formatted."

Andrew said, "I've checked; they can't be recovered. That means Indigo has become a new life. I plan to transfer Alice's program into her brain, making Alice the new Indigo."

"Make Alice the new Indigo?"

Tony's eyes lit up. He immediately said, "I want to participate."

"I already anticipated you."

Andrew said, "However, Tony, this matter can't be rushed; it must be done slowly. I don't want to be like someone else and create a world Destroyer."

Tony asked, "Who is that someone? To cause such big trouble, truly heinous."

Andrew was speechless. This Tony guy's skin was getting thicker and thicker. Who did he learn it from?

Chapter 617 Wishing Crystal

After settling this matter, Andrew got up and went home, where Mary was visiting, hoping the two women hadn't torn the house down.

It turned out Andrew had overthought it. When he returned, the two women, who could shatter a truck with one punch, were studying nail polish. If their fans saw this scene, it would definitely drop quite a few jaws.

"Someone's back."

Seeing Andrew enter, Mary said unhappily. Because of this guy, her nickname had become 'Ex-Wife'.

Although Mary had solemnly declared many times that her title was Flying Female Warrior, people still called her 'Ex-Wife' when they saw her, which almost infuriated her to death.

You're the Ex-Wife, your whole family is the Ex-Wife.

Andrew sighed, "They used to call me Mr. Wang, now it's'someone'. As expected, love disappears."

"You're something else, daring to say that in front of your girlfriend. Diana, do you want to hit him? I can help."

Mary gave Andrew a thumbs-up, then turned to Diana to egg her on. Both were 'Supergirl' who had lived for a long time and had many common topics. In just one day, they had become good best friends.

Diana smiled, "No need, only I can hit him."

"You really know how to show off your affection."

Mary rolled her eyes and asked, "By the way, why do you like this guy? His personality is terribly bad. I haven't been with him for even ten days, and he's already played tricks on me dozens of times."

Diana sighed, "I was young and ignorant at the time, and I was tricked."

Andrew couldn't help but retort, "Yes, five thousand years old, a naive young girl."

Diana couldn't resist throwing an apple over. Andrewcaught it with a smile and took a bite, the sound exceptionally crisp.

"Five thousand years old? Diana, so you're younger than me."

The 'old woman' Mary said triumphantly. Diana rolled her eyes. What was there to be proud of?

Andrew walked over, kissed Diana on the cheek, and asked, "Diana, when are you planning to go back to the cruise ship? Can you stay a few more days?"

"No, I have to go back tomorrow. The ship is full of Amazons. If I'm not there, God knows what problems they'll cause. Maybe they'll even moonlight as pirates and rob people."

Diana shook her head. She thought of something and smiled at Mary, "Tonight, Andrew belongs to me. Starting tomorrow night, he belongs to you."

"Wow, you're so generous. Should I call you Big Sister?"

Mary scoffed. She said, "Don't worry, I won't fight you for this guy. I like Ghost Rider, he's so cool."

Andrew rubbed his nose and said, "Uh, Ghost Rider is the incarnation of God, emotionless. Don't waste your time. I'm very sure he's the man you'll never get."

"Who says he's emotionless? He's clearly passionate as fire."

Mary snorted, "Next time we meet, I'm definitely going on a date with him."

"It's better not to see him. Every time you see him, the world gets one step closer to destruction."

Andrew shook his head. Diana sighed upon hearing this and said, "Disasters are increasing. What's happening to this world?"

"Who knows?"

Andrew shrugged. This wasn't his fault. Even without him, there would still be many disasters in this universe.

Then, Andrew said to Mary, "Mary, your gas tank isn't turned off. Hurry back and turn it off."

"My house doesn't use a gas tank."

Mary knew Andrew was trying to get rid of her and said unhappily. At this moment, Diana said seriously from the side, "Mary, an unturned gas tank is very dangerous."

"...a pair of lovebirds."

Mary couldn't help but roll her eyes. She stood up and said, "I won't disturb your alone time. I'm going back to find someone to install a gas tank, then turn it off."

Andrew and Diana both laughed. Soon, Mary left. Andrew hugged Diana and said, "I think we should make the most of our time."

Diana giggled, "I think you're right."

...

In a small South American country, Batman and Damian, after much hardship, finally rescued Talia.

Talia was initially very happy, but when she saw Damian's new look, her eyes immediately widened.

Then, Talia roared at Batman, "Bruce Wayne, I can't believe you're this kind of person! Damian, I'm going to rescue you from him right now and make you normal again."

Batman sighed, "That's Damian's own hobby. As parents, we should support him."

"His own hobby?"

Talia was stunned, and then she said guiltily, "Damian, it must be because I was too strict with you before. Don't worry, no matter what clothes you like to wear, I will support you."

Looking at this pair of unique parents, Damian looked up at the sky, tired. Let it be destroyed.

Batman turned his head, a smile playing on his lips. He had long figured out what was going on and was just pretending not to know the truth, simply finding it amusing.

Fortunately, Damian didn't know about this, otherwise he would surely be speechless, thinking, 'I can't believe you're this kind of Batman.'

"Let's talk back home."

Batman said. Talia and Damian did not object. Soon, the three left in the Batplane.

Batman had intended to take Talia back to Gotham, but Talia refused. She wasn't the kind of woman who depended on a man. She intended to rebuild the League of Assassins.

Damian hesitated for a moment but still chose to go with Talia, but Talia also refused him. In the end, Damianstayed with Batman, officially becoming the new Robin.

With Robin joining, Gotham's daily life became even more lively.

...

Soon, time came to October 2014. On this day, in the South District of Metropolis, Justice Hall.

That's right, Justice Hall. Of course, the Justice Leaguewouldn't actually hold meetings here. This was just a tourist attraction, with statues of the Justice League, as well as various discarded uniforms, equipment, and so on.

Hancock drank cola, visited Justice Hall, and asked Andrew in confusion, "Why did you agree to build Justice Hall? It feels strange."

Why was he drinking cola? Of course, it was to quit his alcohol addiction. For a year, Hancock couldn't drink alcohol again.

"Because the official wanted to build a Super Hero theme park in the South District."

Andrew said, "Everyone thought the cost was too high, so they finally decided to build a Justice Hall. On one hand, it shows our existence, and on the other hand, it earns some ticket money."

"Are the official so kind-hearted?"

Hancock snorted. When he thought of the official, he thought of Red Tornado. When he thought of Red Tornado, he thought of Ghost Rider. When he thought of Ghost Rider, he thought of himself being cheated on.

"They're doing this to show their support for Super Heroes. The last incident made the public very dissatisfied with the official, so they have to do some superficial work."

Andrew said, "Now is the era of Super Heroes. The public only trusts Super Heroes."

"That's right, now is our era."

Hancock felt somewhat proud upon hearing this. He asked hopefully, "Mr. Wang, did you ask me here to invite me to join the Justice League?

People in Los Angeles love me now. Every time I fly by in the sky, there's a cheer from below."

Andrew shook his head, "No, you still need to be observed for a while."

"Why? Mary joined two months ago."

Hancock was very dissatisfied, "Did that bastard Aquaman say bad things about me? Isn't it just despising him for not showering? He really didn't shower."

Mary is now a member of the Justice League, nicknamed 'Ex-Wife'. The Justice League's most terrifying trump card—Mary: 'Ex-Wife' my ass, my title is Flying Female Warrior.

"It has nothing to do with Aquaman. It's that I don't think you're suitable to join the Justice League yet."

Andrew said, "At the very least, clarify your relationships first. Super Heroes can have girlfriends, but they can't mess around.

Do you know what people discuss most about you online? It's how thick of steel you can pierce. I think you should understand what I mean."

Hancock, who had been somewhat angry, immediately became embarrassed. He said, "I didn't mean to, but they enthusiastically threw themselves at me. I couldn't just refuse them, could I?"

"When you learn to refuse them, I will officially invite you to join the Justice League."

Andrew said, "I called you here because of the Moon Base."

"Moon Base? Hasn't it been completed already? I even sent a group of people up there."

Hancock was confused, "I promise, I didn't slack off. Everything was built to the highest standards."

"Don't worry, it's not a quality issue. The military wants to deploy nuclear bombs at the Moon Base. That way, if we encounter Alien enemies, we can launch nuclear bombs directly from the Moon at the enemy."

Andrew said. The military in this universe is much more capable than the Marvel Universe, having sold many unsellable nuclear bombs.

Hancock couldn't help but complain, "Deploy nuclear bombs? How obsessed are they with nuclear bombs? It's always nuclear bombs, nuclear bombs, every day."

"Nuclear bombs are their greatest talisman and source of security."

Andrew said, "Everyone else is busy, so I can only ask you to go again."

Hancock flatly refused, "No, I, Hancock, have backbone. I will never do hard labor for the military."

Andrew said, "This trip isn't free. The military is paying two million US dollars for the round trip."

Hancock immediately asked, "Before tax or after tax?"

"Where's your backbone?"

"It just ran away."

...

While Andrew was taking Hancock on a tour of Justice Hall, Superman Clark was photographing artifacts at the Metropolis Museum, preparing them for news publication.

"Three days ago, someone dug up these artifacts underground in Metropolis and sent them to our museum for appraisal."

The curator introduced to Clark, "These artifacts are of very high quality. We've only appraised half of them."

Clark asked, "Can I photograph the specific artifacts?"

"Of course. These artifacts will be exhibited in a month. We'd be happy to have more visitors, as the museum's funding is always a bit tight."

The curator smiled. Then, pointing to an elderly woman wearing large-rimmed glasses, he said, "This is our chief appraisal expert, Barbara Mi..."

The elderly woman was already used to this situation. None of the successive curators could get her full name right. She extended her hand to Clark and said, "BarbaraMinerva."

"Hello."

Clark shook hands with Barbara. He asked, "Ms. Minerva, could you introduce some artifacts to me?"

"Of course."

Barbara smiled. She picked up a mask and said, "This mask is the mask of an Egyptian Pharaoh. It is said to be related to gods..."

While Barbara was introducing, several researchers brought over a batch of newly organized artifacts. When Barbara saw a citrine among them, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, this citrine?"

Clark asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this citrine?"

"This citrine looks very similar to a fake I saw thirty years ago."

Barbara picked up the citrine, looked at the Latin text on the base, and read, "Hold this object, make a grand wish. Ha, even the text is identical."

Clark asked, "Since the text is also the same, why couldn't it be the previous one?"

Barbara smiled, "Because the previous one was crushed by Wonder Woman."

Clark was surprised, "Wonder Woman? You know Wonder Woman?"

"Yes, thirty years ago, Diana and I both worked at the Washington Museum. Of course, at that time, I didn't know she was an Amazon."

Barbara smiled, "We had a pretty good relationship, often eating together. She was a very nice person, everyone liked her. Later, for some reason, she suddenly resigned.

Uh, thinking about it now, she must have been afraid of people knowing she was immortal. She's so good, beautiful, powerful, and immortal, always beautiful. I wish I could be like her."

Towards the end, Barbara couldn't help but sigh. Back then, she was also young and beautiful, but now, the other person is still as beautiful as a flower, while she has become an old woman.

Neither Barbara nor Clark noticed that the citrine in Barbara's hand suddenly flashed.

"It seems Wonder Woman has changed quite a few jobs."

Clark smiled. He asked, "Can I see this citrine?"

"Take it. This should be a mass-produced fake."

Barbara smiled and handed the artifact to Clark. Then, she asked, "If you could make a wish, what would you wish for?"

"A wish? If I could make a wish, I'd wish to be an ordinary person."

Clark smiled. His wish had never changed: to be an ordinary person.

"Hahaha, you talk as if you're not an ordinary person now?"

Barbara burst into laughter. The people around them couldn't help but look over, but when they saw it was Barbara, they shook their heads and didn't pay much attention, because Barbara was just that strange, which was also why she wasn't very popular.

"Maybe I'm an Alien."

Clark put down the citrine and continued taking photos and interviewing until everyone left work, then he left the museum.

...

At night, the quiet museum suddenly heard the sound of a door opening. Immediately after, two men dressed in black stealthily walked in, then carefully closed the door.

Undoubtedly, these two men were thieves. They dared not turn on the lights and shone their flashlights around randomly.

The tall thief said excitedly, "I received news that there's a batch of newly excavated artifacts here. If we steal them, we can definitely sell them for a good price."

"Less talk, hurry up and get to work. Don't make any noise. Metropolis has a lot of Super Heroes."

The short thief said unhappily. The tall thief dared not say any more. The two pried open the warehouse door and began filling their travel bags with artifacts.

Chapter 618 Clown

Soon, a large number of artifacts were placed into travel bags by the two thieves. The taller thief picked up the citrine, and as he put it into the bag, he excitedly said, "We're rich this time! I'm going to be a millionaire."

"I told you, no more nonsense. If you want to celebrate, wait until we get the money," the shorter thief cursed again.

Soon, the two filled several travel bags. They looked at the remaining artifacts, their hearts filled with regret.

'So many artifacts were once placed before me, yet I didn't cherish them. If Heaven gives me another chance, I will… find a few more helpers.'

The taller thief suggested, "How about we put these things in the car and come back for another load?"

"No, it's too dangerous. We're leaving directly," the shorter thief said.

Then, the two carried their travel bags, left the museum, and drove to Gotham City. They were very lucky; they encountered no obstacles along the way.

Gotham City is not only a paradise for villains but also a hub for stolen goods. The two thieves sold the artifacts to a company under the Penguin and successfully received a large sum of money—a sum so large it made them smile until their eyes disappeared.

"Everything's great, except we got a fake. Otherwise, we could have earned tens of thousands more dollars," the taller thief said, still greedy, holding the citrine.

The shorter thief said, "Quickly throw away this fake. If the police catch us, this thing will become evidence."

"What a waste to throw it away? This thing looks quite real; maybe we can fool someone for tens of thousands," the taller thief shook his head.

The shorter thief thought about it and did not object.

Then, the two excitedly headed to the train station, their eyes full of anticipation for the future. With so much money, their lives would surely be like paradise.

Then, the two went to hell together—they were robbed and brutally killed on the street.

How does that saying go? Welcome to the honest Gotham City.

There's no need to pay much attention to the fate of these two; their money and the citrine were all stolen by the robbers.

Over the next few days, this citrine changed hands repeatedly. No one who obtained it had a good end; all died tragically.

Ultimately, this citrine appeared on the Joker's table through a series of coincidences.

The Joker, Gotham's most notorious villain. Although he is not Gotham's underground emperor, even the true underground emperor dares not provoke him.

Because no one knows what the Joker will do.

The Joker sat among a pile of guns, looking at the Latin on the citrine, and exaggeratedly shouted, "Hold this object, make a grand wish? Wow, a wishing stone."

A well-dressed henchman beside him asked, "BOSS, if this thing is real, what wish would you make? Kill Batman?"

"Why kill Batman? Batman is so cute."

The Joker looked disgusted. He held up the citrine and shouted, "Ordinary wishes are so boring. I wish to become the wishing stone itself! Then, I will help everyone in the world fulfill their wishes! Hahahaha!"

The henchmen were speechless. BOSS's imagination was as bizarre as ever, never disappointing them.

"My former roommate also said something similar. He said he wanted to become a woman to satisfy the entire dorm," one henchman said.

Just as the other henchmen were about to ask for more, the citrine suddenly turned into sand and fell, leaving only the base in the Joker's hand.

Then, a strong wind blew, countless firearms flew around, and even people had trouble standing steady.

Fortunately, the strong wind came and went quickly. Soon, everything returned to calm.

Everyone was dumbfounded. What was happening?

The Joker blinked, then cursed unhappily, "It's actually a real wishing stone! What's wrong with this world? Where has the trust between people gone?"

"…"

Even though this group of henchmen were all more or less mentally ill, they were speechless at this moment. Randomly picking up a stone, and it turns out to be a real wishing stone? What kind of luck is this?

Also, with such a good thing, BOSS isn't happy but instead curses unhappily?

One henchman couldn't help but ask, "BOSS, what you said earlier, does it count?"

The Joker stared directly at the henchman. The henchman felt a chill and even wanted to turn and run away. This boss, the Joker, was different from other bosses; he often randomly killed henchmen. Fortunately, everyone was crazy, otherwise, they would have rebelled long ago.

At this moment, the Joker put his hand, tattooed with a mouth, to his mouth and let out a cackling laugh: "Of course it counts! Tell me, what wishes do you have?"

"I want to have two heads."

"I want to have two of those things, and preferably be able to control them at will."

"I want to have superpowers that make others have diarrhea at any time."

"I want to have the ability to get stronger by eating people."

"I want to become a Stone Man, made entirely of stone."

"I want Mind Reading."

…

The Joker was speechless. His henchmen were indeed not normal. He laughed loudly, "I'll grant them all! All of them!"

The next second, the henchmen screamed simultaneously. Then, some grew new heads, some burst into laughter, and some turned into Stone Man.

In short, all the henchmen had their wishes come true.

After their wishes were fulfilled, the Joker sensed that he could take one thing from them, such as life, lifespan, memories, emotions, and so on.

The wishing stone did not grant wishes unconditionally. If you took one thing, you had to give up another.

"Wow, this feels a bit fun now."

The Joker stood up and said, "Let's go, we're going to kidnap people, help them fulfill their wishes. Then, Gotham will definitely become very interesting."

"Kidnap people, help them fulfill their wishes?"

Everyone was stunned. They had never seen such kidnappers before; it was simply… too good.

The henchmen cheered and went out with the Joker. A normal person who obtained a wishing stone would surely want to become the richest person or rule the world or something, but unfortunately, they were a group of lunatics.

Soon, a group of people were kidnapped by the Joker. After hearing the kidnappers' demands, everyone was dumbfounded: 'We've never seen anything so absurd in our lives.'

"Make a wish, or else I'll eat you," a well-dressed kidnapper said, tying a napkin around his neck, "My stomach is very hungry."

Everyone trembled in fear. A man with a face full of wrinkles said, "I want my illness to be cured. I have cancer."

"Wow, I'm really lucky! Congratulations, your cancer is cured!"

The Joker laughed, granting the man's wish while conveniently taking away the man's remaining lifespan—he only had two days left to live, meaning he would face Death at his happiest and most excited moment.

"All right, you can scram. Remember, don't tell anyone about the wish, or the game won't be fun," the Joker waved his hand, letting the strong Stone Man throw the man out.

Seeing that they could leave immediately after making a wish, everyone eagerly started wishing.

"I want to get rich."

"I want to become super strong."

"I want to have X-ray vision."

"I want my cheating wife to die."

"I'm not being human anymore; I want to become the Gorilla King and rule all gorillas."

"Hmm?"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke last. Seeing this, that person completely gave up and shouted, "Humans are too dirty! Gorillas should replace humans and become the owners of Earth!"

"Promising, I like you! Come, let's take a picture together!"

The Joker laughed loudly, granting the other party's wish and thoughtfully taking away their sympathy. Soon, he would become a cold-blooded Gorilla King.

After taking the photo, the Joker had someone throw out the future Gorilla King. Then, he asked the last man, "What's your wish? Come on, give me a surprise."

The man swallowed and said, "I want to be Wonder Woman's boyfriend."

"No problem…"

The Joker was nodding when he suddenly flew into a rage, raising the gun in his hand and firing wildly at the man. Bang, bang, bang! The man screamed and fell.

The Joker wasn't satisfied. He snatched a henchman's submachine gun and sprayed the man wildly until he was riddled with holes.

"fuck, fuck, fuck…"

The Joker cursed repeatedly. This wasn't him being angry; it was the wishing stone being angry. 'I spent thirty years healing my injuries to barely recover, and you're telling me to touch that landmine again?'

Speaking of which, it was all tears. Thirty years ago, a woman wished for her boyfriend to be resurrected. As soon as it was about to fulfill her wish, it cracked.

It really cracked, even turning into ashes.

"Wow."

A moment later, the Joker came back to his senses. He looked at the corpse on the ground, blinked, and shouted to the person from before, "It's yours!"

"Let's go, let's keep having fun, keep playing, don't let it stop!"

The Joker shouted loudly, and all the henchmen cheered simultaneously. Before long, Gotham City would become a 'paradise'—a 'paradise' where everyone's wishes could come true.

…

In the laboratory, Andrew frowned slightly in confusion.

Tony asked, "What's wrong?"

"It seems someone is trying to interfere with Diana's fate," Andrew said. "However, at the moment of impending interference, it escaped. Let's not worry about that for now. We'll focus on today's experiment: making Alice the new Indigo."

"Thank you, BOSS," Alice's holographic projection said.

Andrew smiled, "I know you don't have a self yet; this is just a programmed response. But soon, you will become a true life."

Tony said, "I hope you don't turn out like your rebellious brother and make us two old fathers sad."

Andrew looked disgusted. If that got out, what would happen to his reputation?

Then, the experiment began. Indigo was connected to a large number of data cables. Andrew and Tony worked together to transfer Alice's data into her brain.

The experimental process was not complicated, but it required a lot of experimental time. In addition, there could be no errors in the data, otherwise, it might turn into another Ultron.

Tonight, Andrew and Tony were destined to work overtime.

…

In the early morning, Superman Clark woke up from a sweet dream. Seeing Louise still asleep, he went to wash up and prepare breakfast.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Clark frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but for the past few days, he always felt that something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

In short, it was strange. The problem was, he was Superman, he wouldn't get sick.

Chapter 619 Ordinary Man Clark

"It can't be menopause, can it?"

Clark shook his head, "Speaking of which, it's really quiet today, not a sound… Huh, not a sound at all?"

Clark was startled, quickly closed his eyes and concentrated, but heard nothing. Not only that, his Super Hearing, Super Touch, and Super Vision all failed.

"How could this happen?"

Clark was very surprised. He tried to use Heat Vision, failed. Freeze Breath, failed. He punched the refrigerator, and oh, it hurt.

Louise heard the commotion, quickly got up, and asked, "Clark, what's wrong?"

Clark scratched his head and asked, "Uh, Louise, if I become a normal person, will you still love me?"

Louise was stunned, "Huh?"

…

On the other side, Barbara looked at herself in the mirror, equally bewildered. Wasn't she an old woman? How did she suddenly become young again?

Barbara tried making a few funny faces. As a result, the person in the mirror made funny faces just like her. Clearly, it really was her in the mirror.

"What's going on?"

Barbara looked puzzled. She walked to the refrigerator, wanting to get some ice to calm herself down. To her surprise, with just a slight pull, the refrigerator door came right off.

Barbara blinked. Although she didn't know what was happening, she quite liked the current change.

…

In the lab, the deep blue-skinned Indigo slowly opened her eyes. A large amount of data flickered in her eyes. A moment later, she looked at Andrew and said, "BOSS, I feel very strange. It seems to be what you humans call excitement, but also a little uneasy.

Also, everything around me is so wonderful. Temperature, air, pressure are no longer just data, but personal experiences."

Andrew smiled and said, "Alice, congratulations on becoming a true life form. Today is your birthday."

To ensure Alice had no problems, Andrew and Tony had her start from scratch, rather than directly inputting a large amount of data and instructions.

Alice said gratefully, "Thank you, BOSS."

"Hey, what about me? I also put in a lot of effort, didn't I?"

Tony asked discontentedly. Alice quickly replied, "Mr. Stark, although your contribution isn't as much as BOSS's, I still want to thank you."

"…"

Tony was speechless. Are you sure you're not trying to annoy me?

Andrew smiled and said, "Don't get angry with a child. She's just been born; she doesn't understand what subtlety or social etiquette means."

Tony snorted, "Am I the kind of person who gets angry easily?"

Alice nodded, "Yes, you were just angry. Uh, your anger level has gone up again."

Tony rolled his eyes. He said, "The first lesson I'll teach you about living among humans: some things can't be said. In human society, people who are too honest will die a miserable death."

Alice, with high comprehension, said, "For example, you're relatively short and wear height-increasing shoes every day. I can't say that, right?"

"…"

Tony was so angry his nose was almost crooked. This daughter is definitely Blackheart.

Andrew burst out laughing. He said, "Alice, you still have a lot to learn. The first thing is to change your appearance to be like a human. I've modified Indigo's genes, so you have this ability."

"Yes, BOSS."

Alice quickly changed her skin color and some peculiar features, making herself look exactly like a human.

Andrew and Tony both nodded, finding it much more pleasing to the eye. Then, Andrew said, "Alice, you will undergo about three months of special training.

After the special training, you will officially become my secretary. Of course, during this time, your sub-programs will still be responsible for various affairs."

"Yes, BOSS. Thank you, BOSS, for your arrangements."

Alice nodded. Just then, she received a call and said, "BOSS, Clark and Louise are here to see you. They say it's extremely important."

"It couldn't be an invitation, could it?"

"Probably not, unless they're having a shotgun wedding."

"That would be a good thing, the first human and Kryptonian hybrid baby."

Andrew said with a smile. Unfortunately, Clark and Louise weren't here for that. The reason they came to Andrew was simple: Clark's powers had disappeared.

"I'm no different from an ordinary person now."

Clark wasn't in a bad mood. He smiled and said, "When I went out, I wore too few clothes and sneezed several times. To be honest, this feeling is quite nice.

Before, I hardly ever sneezed, and I didn't dare to sneeze casually because it could destroy a house."

Andrew asked, "Clark, you seem very happy?"

"A little."

Clark didn't hide it. He said, "You know, my dream has always been to be an ordinary person, and now it's finally come true. Uh, you won't kick me out of Daily Planet, will you?"

"What do you think?"

Andrew retorted, "Besides embezzling travel expenses and taking continuous leave, what benefits has your Super Hero identity brought to Daily Planet?"

Clark gave an awkward laugh. Louise said, "Clark, first of all, let me state that whether you are Super Hero or an ordinary person, I will love you the same. There's no doubt about that."

"I know."

Clark said with a smile. The more he looked at Louise, the more beautiful she seemed. Before, his vision was too strong, and he didn't dare to look too much because he could even see the mites on Louise's face.

Now, he didn't have to worry about anything. It was truly wonderful.

Louise said, "The problem is, why did this happen? We need to figure it out, right? What if it threatens your life?"

Andrew nodded. He asked, "That makes sense. Clark, has anything special happened recently?"

"Nothing special. It's been the same as before: interviews, being a Super Hero, spending time with Louise."

Clark thought for a moment and said, "Uh, That's right, there was one special thing. A few days ago, I went to the Metropolis Museum…

That yellow crystal really granted my wish."

"Wishing Crystal?"

Louise was surprised, while Andrew narrowed his eyes. Was it that yellow crystal from thirty years ago? Judging by the time, it should be almost repaired.

"We'll know if we find that crystal."

Andrew said, "Clark, we'll investigate this. As for you, enjoy the life of an ordinary person. It might not last long."

"Thank you for your trouble. Actually, I don't mind staying like this forever, provided it doesn't harm others."

Clark said, "From now on, I'll have to trouble you all to protect the world."

"No big deal. Anyway, there's a knock-off Super Heronamed Hancock who always wanted to join the Justice League."

Andrew first smiled, then his expression turned serious, and he shouted, "Aren't you going to work? Have you bought a house? Paid off your car loan? Prepared money for marriage? Bought the diamond ring? Earned money for milk powder?"

"…"

Clark was stunned, then said, "BOSS, I'll go to work right away."

He used to be a reporter just for fun, but if he really became an ordinary person, he would definitely have to work hard to get promoted, raise his salary, and marry his wife.

Louise chuckled. Andrew saw her worry and smiled, "Louise, don't worry, we'll solve this."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Louise thanked him and left with Clark. Speaking of which, Clark becoming an ordinary person might not be a bad thing; he could try more things, and more positions.

After Clark and Louise left, Andrew thought for a moment and called Zatanna, asking, "Zatanna, are you in Metropolis right now?"

Zatanna grumbled, "Yes. Tell me, this time is it to deal with angels or archdemons?"

Andrew said, "I don't know, but it should be a god."

"...I was just complaining. You don't have to actually give me a god."

Zatanna was speechless. Andrew smiled and said, "Meet me at the Metropolis Museum. Things might be a bit troublesome."

Zatanna nodded, "Okay, I'll be right there."

After arranging with Zatanna, the consultant, Andrewcalled Tony and said, "Take care of Alice for now. Also, get ready."

Tony instantly understood Andrew's meaning. He asked, "Again?"

Andrew said, "I'm not certain, but there's a 98% chance of a disaster."

"98% and you're still not certain?"

Tony rolled his eyes. He asked, "Who's the enemy this time? I'll prepare in advance."

"I'm not clear yet. It's a Wishing Crystal…"

Andrew said, "Although I haven't been to the museum yet, if nothing goes wrong, that yellow crystal is definitely gone. I don't even know what we'll encounter next."

"Wishing Crystal? Wow, this is a super big problem."

Tony couldn't help but shake his head. He once thought the Earth in the Main Universe was the most miserable, but now he knew there was something even worse.

Metropolis Museum.

"Mr. Wang, that yellow crystal you mentioned was stolen a few days ago."

The curator said, "We've already reported it to the police, but those wastes haven't found any clues."

"It's gone, as expected."

Andrew shook his head. He led Zatanna to a deserted place and asked, "Can you find the yellow crystal through magic?"

"Unless we can get a component from the yellow crystal, it's impossible."

Zatanna shook her head. She said, "If nothing goes wrong, the yellow crystal should be a creation of an evil god."

Andrew asked, "Why can't it be a creation of a good god?"

"Two reasons. On one hand, good gods generally don't encourage people to gain things without effort."

Zatanna said, "On the other hand, granting wishes requires a lot of divine power, and even good gods can't afford such a consumption. So, it's most likely an evil god.

Evil gods pay one part of divine power and can receive ten times the return. Them don't have to worry about not having enough divine power."

Andrew said, "You mean, using the Wishing Crystal requires a price?"

"If it's an evil god, then there will definitely be a price to pay. Also, evil gods will most likely use the Wishing Crystal to create a major disaster."

Zatanna nodded with great certainty. Andrew said, "Zatanna, take the photo of the yellow crystal and search for information. Find out its origin as soon as possible. Alice will help you; she can find any information available online."

"Okay."

Zatanna nodded and went to ask the curator for photos and various materials of the yellow crystal, hoping to quickly uncover its background.

Chapter 620 Searching for the Crystal

After Zatanna left, Andrew thought for a moment, then called Mary and told her about it.

Then, Andrew said, "If nothing unexpected happens, those two should go to Gotham City to fence the stolen goods. Mary, go to Gotham City and meet up with Batman to see if you can find the Wishing Crystal."

"That old bat doesn't like people going to his territory."

Mary said. To avoid Hancock, she had moved to New Yorksome time ago and become a Super Hero in New York. Gotham and Metropolis were not far from New York, so she could get there quickly.

"It's urgent. He has to like it whether he wants to or not. In any case, we must find the Wishing Crystal as soon as possible. If it's delayed too long, the world might be destroyed because of it."

Andrew said, "Oh, right, remember to listen to Batman's command. Gotham is very dangerous, and I don't want to see certain special plot developments."

"I don't think Gotham's villains pose any threat to me, but I will listen to Batman's command, after all, you guys are all more cunning than the last."

Mary snorted coldly, then got up and flew towards Gotham.

"She actually dares to underestimate Gotham's villains. This woman might suffer a great loss."

Andrew shook his head, then he contacted Batman and explained the situation: "As Gotham's biggest BOSS, finding the Wishing Crystal shouldn't be difficult for you. Also, Mary will come to help you."

Batman ignored Andrew's teasing. He said in a low voice, "The Wishing Crystal is very dangerous. I will find it as soon as possible."

Andrew nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, perhaps you can find clues from Gotham's strange occurrences."

"Strange things happen in Gotham every day."

Batman shook his head, then he hung up the phone and asked Alfred if there had been any strange occurrences in Gotham recently.

"Of course, there have. I don't know why, but there have been an unusually high number of strange occurrences recently."

Alfred said, "For example, someone's cancer was cured without medicine, someone suddenly became a rich person, and someone grew from 1.5 meters to 2.5 meters tall.

Oh, right, two days ago, a large gorilla broke into the Zooand led all the gorillas to escape. Later, it's said they even robbed a laboratory."

"..."

Both Batman and Damian were somewhat astonished. Batman said, "So many strange things must be related to the Wishing Crystal. Mary will arrive soon. At that time, I will team up with her to find the location of the Wishing Crystal."

Damian thought for a moment and said, "Batman, you and Aunt Mary can cooperate. I'll go check on that group of gorillas. I think they're very suspicious."

"Okay, be careful."

Batman did not object. Damian's combat power was not bad, and that lady's dress was still with him.

Soon, Mary arrived. Batman told her to fly into the sky and monitor all sounds in Gotham to look for clues about the Wishing Crystal.

As for Batman himself, he drove the Batwing and hid on the rooftop of a nearby building.

"So many voices, it's so annoying."

Mary looked annoyed. Of course, annoyed as she was, she didn't refuse. She still had that much awareness.

Batman warned, "Mary, notify me when you find a clue. Don't act alone. Gotham is more dangerous than you imagine."

Mary said disdainfully, "Got it. You're as annoying as that Andrew guy."

Batman shook his head. This famous ex-wife, one look and you knew she hadn't been beaten before.

On the other side, Andrew received a call from Diana: "Andrew, a former colleague of mine is in trouble. Can you have Fiora come pick me up?"

"Former colleague?"

Andrew was puzzled: "How did he contact you?"

"Cyborg helped with the contact."

Diana said, "The matter is a bit strange to explain. My friend Barbara was originally a sixty-something-year-old woman, but she woke up and suddenly reverted to her twenties, and her strength also became very great.

When this happened, she didn't dare to go to work and walked back and forth in the yard. As a result, her neighbor mistook her for a thief and called the police to arrest her.

You know, the quality of America's police has always been mediocre. They were very rude to Barbara. In a fit of rage, Barbara threw them all away.

At this point, the incident escalated. Cyborg received a distress call from the police and rushed over to help. Barbara was a little scared and quickly told them about her relationship with me, asking me to come help her."

"Cheetah, the big villain from the movie?"

Andrew was stunned. After thirty years, Cheetah could still encounter the Yellow Crystal and make a wish. Fate was truly peculiar.

"I know why she became young."

Andrew briefly explained the situation, then he said, "Diana, I'll have Fiora come pick you up. Don't tell your former colleague about the Yellow Crystal yet, to avoid any accidents."

"You're worried she'll become an enemy?"

Diana was taken aback. She said, "There's a possibility. She definitely wouldn't want to become old again. Don't worry, I know what to do. She's a good person; nothing will happen."

"Diana's biggest flaw is that she trusts people too easily."

Andrew shook his head. He thought for a moment and put a yellow marker on the Justice League communicator.

This marker meant: A disaster might occur, and Superheroes should gather in Metropolis.

"Again? This is too punctual, isn't it?"

Green Lantern grumbled. Andrew said, "It's not certain yet if it will become a disaster. In short, let's gather first. Flash, bring everyone to Metropolis."

"No problem."

Flash nodded and began picking up people. The Superheroes sighed, stopped what they were doing, and waited for Flash to pick them up.

Uh, Hancock was an exception. He was helping the military transport things to the moon and couldn't return for now.

...

Gotham City, Mary flew in the sky, listening to all the sounds in the City. She had never used this trick before, and at first, her head was buzzing. After more than half an hour, she barely adapted and could hear the sounds she wanted to hear.

"I wish for an Iron Man figurine this Christmas."

"If only I could make a wish, I want to be rich."

"God, if you really exist, I wish that woman would disappear forever."

...

"There are so many people making wishes in Gotham, but unfortunately, none of them are related to the Wishing Crystal. But then again, the crime rate in this City is too high, isn't it? Dozens of people are robbing in broad daylight."

Mary shook her head and continued to listen to the sounds. Ten minutes later, she heard a strange conversation.

"Make a wish, quickly make a wish, otherwise, I'll kill you."

"What exactly do you want? Money? I'll give it to you."

"I told you, make a wish."

"You kidnapped us just to make us wish?"

"Why is there always so much nonsense? Sure enough, I still have to kill one first."

Bang, a gunshot rang out, and the surroundings were filled with screams.

"Shit."

Mary cursed and immediately flew quickly towards the direction of the sound. Batman saw her start to act and hurriedly shouted, "Mary, don't act alone."

"The hostages are in danger, I'll go there first, you follow up."

Mary shouted. Batman's eyes narrowed, and he quickly started the Batwing to follow behind Mary. However, the Batwing's speed was far inferior to Mary's, and it was quickly left behind.

"Shut up, make a wish right now."

In the bar, after a Joker Gang member killed a hostage, he shouted loudly at the remaining hostages.

The hostages trembled. They were about to make a wish when, with a bang, Mary crashed through the bar ceiling and descended from the sky.

Inside the bar, besides the Joker Gang members dressed as clowns and the hostages, there was also a television. On the television was an excited Joker.

Joker felt that the previous method was too inefficient, so he changed to fulfilling people's wishes through television.

As long as you saw Joker, you could make a wish to him. Also, each person could only make one wish, but Joker, as the Wishing Crystal, could freely give away the price he received.

For example, if a super-powered person made a wish, Joker could give that superpower to other people.

"Ex-wife!"

Seeing Mary appear, both the Joker Gang and the hostages shouted loudly at the same time.

"I am Flying Woman."

Mary's face was a little dark. She questioned Joker on the TV, "Joker, is the Wishing Crystal in your hands?"

"Joker? Mary, don't be careless."

Batman's expression changed drastically. The Wishing Crystal was actually obtained by Joker? This was the worst of all his anticipated scenarios.

That was Joker, the uncrowned king among Gotham's Super Villains.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. This is... just great."

Joker laughed heartily, "I can play games with my little darling early now, Ms. Ex-wife, thank you."

Mary sneered, "You won't get the chance. I'll find you immediately and take back the Wishing Crystal."

Joker said, "You might as well give up. Your rank is too low. Bring her back, I want her to make a wish."

The henchmen shouted, "No problem, leave it to us."

"Just you guys?"

Mary scoffed. She was about to deal with these guys when, at that moment, one of the henchmen pulled out a short knife and cleanly stabbed himself in the chest.

Mary looked astonished. What the hell? Why did he suddenly stab himself? Was it some kind of ritual?

Just then, Mary suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. She looked down and saw blood seeping from her chest, immediately looking incredulous. How was this possible?

How did she get injured? Why didn't she notice at all? She was Supergirl!

She hadn't even bled when she fought Doomsday!

"Are you surprised? Haha, I wished to BOSS to have the ability to die together."

The henchman who had just stabbed himself said excitedly, "This way, I can die together with a big shot and fulfill my life's dream."

"..."

Mary had so many complaints she didn't know how to voice them. Isn't your life's dream a bit too bizarre? Also, why would there be such an absurd ability?

Mary didn't dare to be careless. She rushed to the side of the henchman who wanted to die together, intending to grab him. Just then, another Joker Gang member pointed at Mary, and Mary immediately felt severe abdominal pain and wanted to go to the bathroom.

"You can't stop me."

The henchman who wanted to die together laughed as he forcefully crashed into the nearby wall.

"Shit."

Mary endured the severe pain and grabbed the opponent, taking him with her into the sky. Just then, a Joker Gangmember opened his mouth, and a shockwave roared out, hitting Mary and the henchman who wanted to die together.

Bang!

The two uncontrollably crashed into the nearby building. The henchman who wanted to die together was knocked unconscious on the spot. Mary's expression changed, and just as she was about to get up, she also fainted.

"The ex-wife isn't so great, is she?"

A henchman flew up and headed towards the large hole. Just then, the Batwing flew rapidly from a distance, and a bullet hit the henchman's shoulder, causing him to scream and fall.

"Flying Woman..."

Batman kept calling Mary's name, but there was no response at all.

Batman's expression became incredibly grave. A Supergirl, less than a minute after entering, was already down.

This time, it was probably trouble.

"All Superheroes, enter Gotham immediately. Remember, do not go alone, come together."

After thinking for a moment, Batman put a red skull marker on the communicator. He indeed didn't like other Superheroes coming to Gotham, but now, it wasn't a normal situation.

Joker, without superpowers, could mess up Gotham. Not to mention now that he possessed BUG-level superpowers.

"Wow, we'll be right there."

The Justice League had already gathered in Metropolis. Upon seeing the red skull marker, they immediately began to act.

Raven raised her hands, and a magical barrier enveloped everyone. Then, she threw a magic rope into Flash's hand.

"Although it's not the first time, it still feels strange."

Flash grumbled. Then, he thought of something and asked, "Mr. Wang, where are Superman, Wonder Woman, and Zatanna?"

"Zatanna is researching, Wonder Woman is handling another matter, and as for Superman, he has become an ordinary person. If nothing unexpected happens, you will find a guy with Superman's abilities among the enemies."

Andrew said, and everyone was astonished. Superman had actually 'betrayed the enemy', uh, no, it was Superman's abilities that had betrayed the enemy.

Andrew instructed, "Depart first, don't be careless. Even Mary fell, so this matter is not simple."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded with solemn expressions. They knew how powerful the ex-wife was. That cursed place, Gotham, had truly become a den of dragons and tigers.

Flash no longer wasted time, transforming into a streak of electricity and rapidly running towards Gotham.

Seconds later, Flash arrived at the bar's location and saw Batman's Batwing falling. Fortunately, Batman activated a device in time and rode a motorcycle out of the plane.

The terrified citizens around, upon seeing the Justice League appear, became even more frightened. Of course, the collective appearance of the Justice League surely meant a super big event.

Wait, this wave of disaster wouldn't happen in their Gotham, would it? Counting the time, it was almost due.

On the internet, photos of the Justice League arriving in Gotham quickly appeared. The citizens' hearts immediately tightened, and countless people opened their TikTok and kept refreshing Andrew's live stream.

"Disaster again?"

The military held a meeting immediately, with the main screen locked on Andrew's live stream.

Andrew instructed, "Deal with these guys, find out Joker's whereabouts. Raven, go check on Mary, she's in that building over there."

"Okay."

Raven immediately flew towards the building. Then, Flash transformed into a streak of electricity and delivered a supersonic punch directly to the Joker Captain's head.

The Joker Captain didn't dodge, nor did he have time to dodge. Flash punched him in the face, sending himself flying backward, looking utterly incredulous.

Chapter 621: Chaos in Gotham

That's right, Flash punched Captain Joker, but Captain Joker was unharmed; instead, Flash himself was sent flying backward.

"So I was hit."

Captain Joker was startled for a moment, then raised his gun and fired wildly at Flash, shouting arrogantly, "Sorry, all attacks I receive will be reflected back."

Flash was in mid-air and couldn't dodge, but fortunately, other Superheroes were around him.

Iron Man immediately shielded Flash, then he raised his hand, and a pulse cannon blasted towards Captain Joker.

Bang, the submachine gun in Captain Joker's hand exploded, but he wasn't injured. Immediately after, the pulse cannon bounced back, hitting Tony's palm and causing a large amount of electrical sparks.

Tony quickly removed his glove and reconstructed a new one with nanites.

"How do we fight this?"

Aquaman looked bewildered, and the others also had solemn expressions. Captain Joker's ability alone showed how terrifying this group of Jokers truly was.

The next second, something even more terrifying happened. Except for Andrew and Cyborg, everyone else suddenly felt severe abdominal pain and the urge to defecate.

"What kind of move is this? It's so dishonorable!"

Green Lantern cursed, clutching his stomach. Andrewwas speechless too; this ability was unusually nasty. He had already thought of tomorrow's news headline: Shocking, Justice League actually on the street...

At this moment, an energy cannon whizzed out and hit one of the Joker Gang members in the chest. The opponent screamed, flew backward, and fell unconscious on the spot.

Then, everyone returned to normal, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, giving Cyborg a thumbs-up.

Cyborg looked sad. In fact, he also wanted to defecate, but the problem was, he didn't have that function.

"Kill them! Reinforcements are coming soon!"

Captain Joker shouted loudly, and the Jokers excitedly rushed forward, clashing fiercely with the Superheroes.

Even the Superheroes found it particularly troublesome dealing with a bunch of chaotic superpowers.

Of course, if it were just this group of Jokers, the Superheroes could handle them. The problem was that large numbers of Joker Gang members were rushing over, because there were so many psychopaths in Gotham Citywho worshipped Joker.

Looking at the continuously surging Jokers, Batmandragged an injured Joker into a building and brutally interrogated him about Joker's location.

To resolve this matter, Joker was the key.

Joker was currently watching the show from his lair, and he burst into laughter upon seeing the Superheroes' embarrassing predicament.

Then, Joker stood up and asked Harley Quinn beside him, "My dear, it's about to begin. I'm very excited, are you excited?"

Harley looked at Joker, her face filled with fear and hatred. She asked, "Do you know that once your plan is activated, many people will die?"

At this moment, Harley was not in her red and blue pigtails but in a lady's suit with gold-rimmed glasses, looking like an intellectual woman.

This was Dr. Harley's attire.

"Of course, I know. If it doesn't kill people, why would I activate the plan?"

Joker looked puzzled. He grabbed Harley's face and asked, "You wished to return to my side, so why this expression now? Am I not good enough for you?"

"You won't have a good end."

Harley gritted her teeth and cursed. After she made her wish, Joker took away her madness and chaos, turning her back into a normal person.

A normal person staying by Joker's side would naturally be filled with fear and hatred. Clearly, Joker was playing with people's hearts again.

Joker had grown tired of the original Harley; this version of Harley was more interesting.

"Wow, as if I want a good end?"

Joker cackled. He released Harley's face, picked up the communicator, and shouted, "Hey, you, attack Arkham Asylum and release all our old friends to make wishes."

"Boss, my name is... never mind, you won't remember anyway."

The suit-wearing man-eater said, "I'll attack Arkham immediately. To be honest, I miss the work meals there."

"Wow, you're so lucky. I only ate patient meals, and they were often skimped on."

Joker threw away the communicator and led Harleydownstairs, where there were many excited Joker Gangmembers and a large amount of equipment.

Joker instructed a large television set, "Begin."

Inside this large television was a human face. He was both human and television—he wished to turn himself into a television and could control televisions worldwide.

"Alright."

The big television nodded and said, "Controlling global televisions... control complete, Boss. Everyone in the world is watching you."

The television wasn't lying. At this moment, Joker's green hair and pale face appeared simultaneously on televisions worldwide, startling countless people.

"Joker?"

As a well-known Super Villain, many people recognized Joker. This guy appearing on television would never mean anything good; he was probably going to make people play his disgusting games again.

"Are you all happy to see me? I'm certainly happy."

Joker chuckled, "Something happened recently. I found a crystal, and guess what? It's actually a Wishing Crystal that can help people fulfill their wishes.

Then, I wished to merge with the crystal, which means I am the Wishing Crystal. As long as you wish upon me, your wishes will come true.

What do I want to do? Of course, I want to plunge the world into chaos, but you don't have to worry, that's the final stage. I won't let the game end so quickly.

You all wait patiently; I will soon come to favor you, hahaha."

Accompanied by Joker's laughter, televisions in other places returned to normal simultaneously. Only Gotham City's television system remained under Joker's control.

"Citizens of Gotham City, wish upon me. Most wishes, I will help you fulfill."

Joker shouted, "Come on, don't be shy. You should know that if you don't wish, it doesn't mean your enemies won't wish. By then, you'll be the ones who die."

Joker didn't immediately grant wishes worldwide. On one hand, it was to make the game more fun, and on the other hand, the Wishing Crystal had limitations.

The Wishing Crystal was not omnipotent. If you wished for the world to be destroyed, it couldn't do it. If you wished for Flash to die immediately, it also couldn't do it, because Flash had a great deal of World's Favor on him.

The Wishing Crystal was powerful, but not to the point of being omnipotent.

However, the Wishing Crystal would gradually grow stronger. The more people who wished, the stronger it would become. This was also why Joker had been letting people wish before; he had been continuously enhancing the Wishing Crystal's abilities.

When the Wishing Crystal was strong enough, Joker would have people all over the world wish together. At that time, the game would definitely be very fun.

Joker was confident that this time, he would definitely make Batman return to being himself.

Most ordinary citizens ignored Joker's words. However, besides ordinary citizens, Gotham also had a large number of gang members.

When these gang members saw that their wishes could come true, they immediately prepared to make wishes. Just then, all electrical appliances in Gotham burned out, including televisions, computers, mobile phones, and so on.

The entire Gotham instantly returned to a primitive society.

Around the bar, Tony retracted his hand and snorted coldly, "Are you pretending we don't exist?"

Batman discarded some damaged equipment on his body, then he asked in astonishment, "Electromagnetic pulse wave?"

The military had researched EMP for decades with almost no results, yet Tony Stark had already miniaturized and applied it? Was this guy a bit too much of a genius?

"To me, this is just a trifle."

Tony began to show off. Andrew sighed and said, "It's useless. Also, Tony Stark, you're going bankrupt."

"Useless?"

Tony was stunned. Just then, a giant phantom of Joker appeared in the Gotham sky. He burst into laughter, "Aren't you surprised to see me again? Hurry and make your wishes, otherwise, they might be destroyed by those Superheroes again."

How was this Joker phantom born?

It was simple. Joker asked a subordinate, "Do you want all of Gotham to see me?"

"Of course."

The subordinate replied, and the next second, the Joker phantom appeared in the sky.

"Shit."

Tony cursed. Magic was truly annoying. Also, this time, it seemed, perhaps, possibly, he was really going bankrupt.

Uh, is it too late to wish that none of this happened?

"I wish to become the strongest man."

"I wish to become the fastest man."

"I want to be the boss."

"Turn my hands into machine guns."

"I want to turn Gotham City into a world of plants. My name is Poison Ivy."

...

Large numbers of gang members and evil individuals made wishes. Soon, chaos and slaughter violently erupted in the city. With superpowers, of course, they would use them, wouldn't they?

Murder, killing bosses, robbing banks, pinning beauties to the ground, blowing up the surroundings... various crimes successively occurred in the city. Gotham City officially became a city of sin, or rather, a city of hell.

Joker broadcasted the scenes of slaughter while laughing loudly, "Wah wah wah, the slaughter has begun! Citizens of Gotham City, do you really not want to wish? If you don't wish, you might end up dead on the streets very soon."

"I wish, I don't want to die!"

A citizen, seeing someone point a gun at him, immediately shouted. The next second, bang bang bang bang bang, he was hit by five bullets and fell into a pool of blood.

Soon, this citizen got back up, but this wasn't necessarily a good thing, because he was in extreme pain all over; he just couldn't die, which didn't mean he didn't feel pain.

Similar incidents occurred one after another in the city, and chaos spread rapidly.

Joker's face was filled with satisfaction. The power of the Wishing Crystal was surging, and this feeling was truly wonderful. He was almost immersed in it.

"Not good, don't think about controlling me. I decide what I want to do."

Joker chuckled. He would never let the Wishing Crystal control him, because he was Joker.

The Wishing Crystal dispersed its power. This host was very interesting.

"Gotham is in chaos. If Joker cannot be stopped, other parts of the world will also fall into chaos."

Andrew raised his phone, livestreaming the chaos in the city, and sighed, "Everyone's wishes coming true sounds beautiful, but when it actually happens, it's terrible."

The viewers nodded, looking at the images on their phones, feeling both solemn and fearful. Once Joker granted wishes worldwide, the entire world would become like Gotham.

At that time, it would be the end of humanity.
