Chapter 569 The Justice League is getting increasingly shameless, why is that?
"Diana, I think this buffoon is just a distraction."
Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, walked to Wonder Woman's side and whispered beside her smiling face:
"We've been tricked! I just roughly calculated the concentration of all the clown venom in this aquarium, and it's far from enough to produce the amount the clowns could have made from the chemicals they stole—God, I'm so incredibly perceptive now, I'm practically Batman!"
The first half of the sentence sounded very clever and wise, but the second half immediately revealed its true colors. In any case, Green Lantern Hal made the right judgment.
"I know," Diana said softly. "This guy has been abandoned. Only a portion of the Joker Venom that was created is here."
She smiled as she looked at the cane in the other person's hand: "The surviving witnesses to the funeral said that the clown used a stick to do those magic tricks, so be careful."
Everyone except Shazam understood Wonder Woman's implication:
There is no evidence that the reality distortion created by the stick won't affect the Justice League members. Until Zatanna finds a way to counter this power, the Justice League must proceed with caution, dealing with every Joker wielding the stick.
The thoughtful Green Lantern Hal helped Shazam understand this point using a Green Lantern headset.
"I don't understand any of this, so who should we attack? Hahahaha, I can't wait, I'm fucking excited!"
However, Shazam seemed to be having some trouble controlling his emotions. Diana didn't know if it was because the Joker's potion itself made people laugh wildly and feel an overwhelming sense of justice, or if Shazam, as a minor, simply had weak self-control.
Fortunately, she is still able to maintain a meticulous way of thinking that combines rationality and madness.
The clown commanded a swarm of humanoid creatures to rush towards the Justice League. Shazam was the first to charge forward, clinging to the face of one of the giant, muscular, smiling, naked men, who was about three meters tall, like a facehugger.
Then he let out a laugh like that of the giant zombie Solomon Grendie.
Hey!
The smiling naked man was almost a muscular version of the clown, with bulging muscles all over his body, various bone spurs, and huge claws.
In just a brief exchange, Diana discovered that these monsters were unusually strong. At least for ordinary people, it would be difficult to withstand Shazam's all-out electric punches, let alone roll around with Shazam.
But Shazam quickly grabbed the muscular clown by the ankle, slammed him to the ground, and then slammed him down several times, raising his hands high: "I'm a superhero, I'm Batman, I'll take on ten of them!"
He was then grabbed by another muscular clown, his bat-shaped cape pulled to the ground, and then pinned down by twenty or thirty muscular clowns. Diana and the other members of the Justice League witnessed for the first time how one of the three clowns, the "Clown," created those mass-produced yet excessively powerful Laughing Clowns.
No one expected the process to be so easy:
As the clown lightly tapped his cane, a puff of white smoke appeared out of thin air. Then, as if by magic, one muscular clown after another fell down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Hal nearly popped his eyes out.
"That's impossible. If the Joker's ability to alter reality is so strong that he can create things out of thin air, and such powerful minions at that, then what are we even fighting for? Why doesn't he just create millions of muscular Joker minions and conquer the whole world?"
Wonder Woman swung her sword at the head of a muscular clown: "It's not that easy. There must be some kind of restriction, or it's just been pre-cultivated and then teleported... Focus, let's wipe these guys out first."
"Awoooo ...
Beside them, Aquaman, dressed in a Batman costume but with his hood squeezed off, held his fish head and made a strange sound that was a mixture of fish blowing bubbles and Atlantean shouts.
A few seconds ago, a dwarf pounced on the fish-headed aquaman like a pinball. He rode on the aquaman's neck, opened his mouth full of fangs, and began to bite at the aquaman's fish-scaled head.
Still sporting his fish head, Aquaman jumped around, clutching his head. He yelled incessantly with his fish mouth, which had been solidified into a smile by the Joker's potion, while trying to pull the dwarf off his head. But the dwarf, whether enhanced by some strange reality-altering magic or something else, was even stretched out like a poorly stretched ramen noodle by Aquaman's monstrous strength, yet he still clung to the fish scales on Aquaman's head and wouldn't let go.
"What's that?"
Clark tried to fly over to help Aquaman, but a half-naked, muscular clown hugged him from behind, followed by seven or eight more muscular clowns piling on top of him, engulfing him in the clowns' large white muscles.
"Giggly. The Joker used to call it his court jester." (Note: The Joker's assistant in early comics, who later disappeared from the comics.)
Diana leaped to avoid being grabbed by a muscular clown, then deftly pulled a sword from her all-purpose belt and swung it down—heaven knows how Diana managed to fit such a long, hard sword into her belt, just as no one knows that Batman's all-purpose belt can never be completely empty.
In short, Wonder Woman said, "If you've ever stalked someone—"
"What did you say?" Superman, whose attention was completely drawn to the Muscular Joker, tugged at his ever-upturned lips. He hadn't been paying attention and hadn't really heard what Diana said.
"I mean, if you used your super brain to read even a little bit of Batman's Bat Diary, you'd know that this Joker in front of us was someone Batman encountered at some point in his career." Diana kicked a muscular Joker who was lunging at her away like a shuttlecock, and then continued:
"But Gigi's superpowers used to be jumping up and hitting Batman's knee and parallel parking, and now they've clearly been enhanced."
"Can you help me?"
"No matter how hard I try, I can't get rid of this damned little dwarf," the Sea King shouted.
But before he could finish speaking, with a loud crash, the tempered glass that had been holding the sharks in the aquarium shattered. The sharks, infected with the clown virus, leaped out of their tanks, riding the ripples, and then—
It bit the Sea King's butt.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Aquaman jumped into the air and spun 365 degrees, then slammed his head down onto the ground, embedding himself like a nail. But when he pulled it out, the little dwarf Grimoire and the smiling shark behind him were still stuck to him.
Hal the Green Lantern conjured a mech made of Green Lantern energy. He used the mech's left arm to restrain a laughing giant who was trying to punch him. Then, a mechanical hand materialized behind him to press down on the giant's foot, and another mechanical hand appeared to press down on the giant's other foot...
It wasn't until the unfortunate muscle clown was pinned to the ground by five or six mechanical arms extending from behind Hal that Hal controlled the mech to raise his right fist and relentlessly punch the muscle clown's head like a pile driver, pressing down on his face and beating him.
Like the Hulkbuster armor used to beat up the Hulk.
Aquaman, with a fish head and a fish on his butt, ran past the crowd, wildly swinging his trident in the air: "Isn't there anyone who can help me with something?"
"Hang in there, Arthur. Look on the bright side, at least there aren't any more fish," Hal said. But then they heard the clown shout from nearby, "You were right, Bat-Green Lantern! Fish appear as soon as you say they will. Now for the joke: Why aren't Batman and Robin fishing together?"
As the clown struck his cane, countless aquatic fish in the exhibition pool next to the aquarium sprouted sharp teeth, and the smiles on their faces were fully prepared.
"You wouldn't believe it, would you? You bunch of imposters! Robin, that little bird, ate all the earthworms! Hahahaha!"
Countless, smiling piranhas, like a tidal wave, swarmed towards the group. For some reason, perhaps due to Aquaman's innate Atlantean blood, these fish all seemed to be quite friendly towards him. This affinity for marine life is Aquaman's superpower, but now it's really brought him bad luck.
In an instant, Aquaman was being devoured by all sorts of smiling piranhas, with particular attention paid to his prominent crotch between his legs, making incredibly creepy noises.
Aquaman is indeed a brave warrior and a king of great talent and strategy, but anyone would scream in agony if attacked like this, especially since these evil piranhas are not ordinary fish at all. Even a superhuman like Aquaman would have a bloody hole if bitten by them, and it would be strange if he didn't feel terrified.
Even in their first encounter with these creatures, the Justice League managed to turn the tide. These bizarre, muscular clowns gave them some trouble, but it wasn't enough to defeat them.
Not far away, Aquaman finally pulled the smiley shark off his butt, then slammed into the wall, making a big hole in it, and finally shook off the little dwarf on his head.
He swung Neptune's trident, sending the dwarf flying like a golf ball, before it landed to Diana's left.
Shazan grabbed two muscle clowns by the ankles and used them like hammers to repeatedly whack the other muscle clowns on the head, like playing whack-a-mole. He had absolutely no awareness of standing with his teammates and maintaining a battle formation.
He has completely forgotten the training content.
Superman, his lips curling into an uncontrollable smile, exhaled a freezing breath, turning a bunch of muscular clowns into ice sculptures. He then hovered and landed to Diana's right.
Hal, piloting the Green Lantern armor, landed in front of his companions with a superhero-like landing pose. He then instantly de-materialized, hovering in mid-air for a brief, swaying motion before gracefully landing behind them. He then flicked his hair, which instantly tilted to one side. This is called:
handsome.
"Great!" Silly Zan clapped his hands, beaming with joy. "So cool!"
"..."
Then the Justice Alliance all looked at the clown, ready for battle.
"I am an endless circle, a hamster wheel of destruction, a painful cycle into which each of you is trapped."
The clown said, "I am—"
But before he could finish speaking, the attacks of five people landed on him.
Then he simply and cleanly fell to the ground.
"What? It worked already?"
"Thunder is so stupid," said Lei Ting.
"We wasted too much time," said Hal, the Green Lantern.
"I have a guess in mind, but I don't have Superman's super brain, so I can't skim through the information Batman provides like Clark does. So even with a mind similar to The Man Who Laughs, I still can't deduce the exact location."
"The clown in front of us is just a decoy; the real clown, or rather, all the other clowns, are plotting their own truly dangerous game."
Wonder Woman Diana said, "Batgirl Barbara is still the Joker's hostage, so we must proceed with caution this time."
"How do I do it?" Hal asked.
"A simple disguise as Batman won't make the Joker truly empathize." No matter how convincingly he acts, it's useless because a living person can't defeat a dead, unattainable love. The Joker doesn't miss the current Batman, but rather the young Batman who, before gaining superpowers, played a cat-and-mouse game with him and the city as a mortal.
Of course, there's also the Joker from his younger days.
"Shazam, Aquaman, I need you to be on standby at Gotham's Pipeline."
"Wait a minute, let me ask first. I have a question. How is this analyzed? I feel like I can't keep up with your train of thought at all."
Aquaman asked a question from the side.
"Clark knows," Wonder Woman said. "The Joker is picking cases from his early battles with Batman and recreating them, trying to subvert them in a new form."
"So you think the Joker is going to poison Gotham's reservoir?" Superman Clark asked. "How do you know he'll go to the reservoir?"
"I have no idea."
Wonder Woman said, "But I can roughly guess what they're thinking. If it were me, I would definitely go to the reservoir."
Then she waved her hand: "These aren't the most important things. The important thing is that we can't keep fooling our opponents by having everyone wear Batman costumes. My gut feeling tells me that the game the Joker has prepared isn't for us, but for Batman. No one can guarantee that the Joker won't fly into a rage after learning the truth."
One of us has to dress up as Batman for at least six months.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't speak, and then one by one they turned their gaze to Superman, who was not far away and didn't understand what had happened.
"It's you I choose!" Wonder Woman said.
"Me? Why?"
Superman asked, and then he heard the other person say:
"Unfortunately, but the problem is... we... only one of us has actually ever dressed up as Batman."
Indeed, Superman was speechless this time.
"I'll give you a temporary antidote to suppress the Joker virus, but it will take a long time to work, enough for you to fool the Joker and make him think that the real Batman has finally left the scene."
Wonder Woman said, "Your steel body will give the Joker a big surprise."
Then she took out two syringes.
"What is this now? Why are you acting like a nurse?" Superman asked.
"This is the real cure for the Joker virus, and another Joker virus."
"The antidote can remove the effects of the Joker virus, but there is a small side effect: for a few hours after the antidote is removed, the muscles in your face will not be able to smile. This aftereffect will disappear over time, but it is perfect for dealing with the Joker."
Wonder Woman said, "Isn't the Joker supposed to be a great laugher? Isn't he known for being able to laugh anytime? There's no one on Earth who laughs as much as we do. Since we're laughing, the other person isn't allowed to laugh!"
"I've already planned it all out. Only we have the right to laugh hysterically, hahahahahaha!"

"hiss……"
Fiji.
Chen Tao, who had been spying on Diana, thought about it and realized that Diana's method couldn't be described as effective, but rather as extremely effective.
But when?
I have a feeling... the Justice League is going downhill more and more, why is that?
