Chapter 220: Black Kryptonite!

Rain once again fell upon Gotham.

The city had finally become exactly what the Joker had always wanted.

But this was only the beginning.

Having inherited the Joker’s will, the Batman Who Laughs set his next target upon the entire world.

In space, the Watchtower stored every superpowered weapon the Justice League had confiscated after defeating villains over the years!

Superman had once wanted to destroy them, but Batman always refused, claiming that he needed to study their principles.

And now, those carefully preserved weapons had become instruments of death.

The Boys World.

Homelander’s eyes filled with disdain.

In his opinion, this was the most ordinary of the fallen Batmen.

Even after being transformed by the Joker and descending into madness, combining the strength of the two men still amounted to very little.

Even Homelander could kill him effortlessly.

He eagerly anticipated Superman personally crushing this ridiculous piece of garbage to death.

As for the Batman wearing the spiked metal visor who had appeared earlier, that had to be someone else.

Perhaps he was even a corrupted Superman.

After personally killing his best friend, his mind might have mutated, causing him to inherit everything the man possessed.

Was that not how these gloomy DC worlds always worked?

Believing that he had understood everything, Homelander curled his lips into a mocking smile.

But in the next second, he could no longer smile.

Because he felt as though he were staring directly into hell!

Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, Cyborg, Shazam…

The severed limbs and corpses of countless Justice League members were scattered everywhere, staining the Watchtower’s metallic floor with blood!

And Superman…

Superman stood unsteadily in place, his eyes crimson.

But that redness was not the glow of heat vision preparing to erupt.

It was blood!

Crimson blood flowed continuously from the corners of Superman’s eyes like bloody tears. Combined with his bruised, corpse-like complexion, it made him appear horrifying!

At that moment, the Batman Who Laughs slowly emerged from the corridor, wearing a green cloak and bearing not even the slightest injury.

There was no doubt.

He was responsible for everything!

Countless viewers outside the screen felt waves of cold horror.

They could almost sense the despair and emotional collapse within Superman’s heart!

Homelander stared blankly.

He could not understand how the Jokerized Batman had accomplished this.

It was not supposed to happen this way!

Superman should have been the one to kill Batman!

Why had everything been reversed!?

How was this possible!?

Marvel Universe.

At that moment, Tony Stark finally understood!

The truly frightening thing was not the Speed Force.

Nor was it the power of a Green Lantern ring, the authority of war, control over the oceans, or a mechanical body!

The terrifying thing was Batman.

It was the man named Bruce Wayne!

No one was invincible.

And Bruce was the natural enemy of them all!

Tony did not yet know how he had accomplished this, but this time, he sincerely admitted defeat!

Inside the Watchtower…

Superman stared at the familiar stranger standing within that bloodstained world and made one final attempt to persuade him.

He repeated the same righteous arguments he had always used to convince both others and himself.

He hoped to awaken the last trace of conscience remaining within his friend.

As though his efforts had succeeded, conflict suddenly appeared on the Batman Who Laughs’s face.

Seeing this, hope rose within Superman’s heart. Perhaps his words were working!

But just as he prepared to continue, terrifying laughter interrupted him.

The Batman Who Laughs seemed delighted by Superman’s expression and could not resist laughing.

“Oh, my magnificent reporter…”

“I believe you have misunderstood something.”

“I was merely struggling to decide how I should kill you.”

“After all, ten thousand possible methods are simply too many.”

“Unfortunately, I can only choose one.”

Superman’s expression instantly froze.

At that moment, he looked as pitiful as a stray dog abandoned in a filthy gutter.

Suddenly, the elevator opened. Lois arrived with their son, and they immediately threw themselves into Superman’s arms, determined to face death together.

The sight of such a ‘heartwarming’ reunion caused the corners of the Batman Who Laughs’s mouth to rise.

Ah…

He had finally discovered the perfect happy ending for Superman.

On the beach.

This time, it was Clark’s turn to move aside and join the cowardly alliance formed by Barry and Arthur.

He did not know whether it was his instincts or his empathy with another version of himself.

Although this was a different universe, he had to admit that he was genuinely frightened.

Clark had no idea what the Batman Who Laughs intended to do, but he sensed something far more terrifying than death!

He could barely suppress the urge to escape.

Bruce naturally noticed his reaction and revealed a bitter smile.

However, he did not know how to comfort Clark.

After all, Bruce had never been particularly skilled at comforting others.

Moreover, he felt somewhat guilty.

Because he had already guessed what the Batman Who Laughs intended to do.

The Batman Who Laughs beckoned with one hand. Footsteps once again echoed from the dark corridor in the distance.

Several seconds later, a horrifying sight emerged, causing Superman and his family to shudder uncontrollably.

A monstrous child wearing tattered clothing staggered from the darkness. Thorny restraints covered his limbs, while countless stitched scars spread across his face!

He looked toward the Batman Who Laughs and called out hoarsely:

“Father.”

Yes.

This child was Bruce Wayne’s biological son, Damian.

He had now been transformed into an even more horrifying Rabid Robin!

Asgard!

Lightning continuously flickered within Odin’s single eye!

Even a tiger would not devour its own cub!

During his conquest of the Nine Realms, Odin had witnessed countless evil beings.

But even they had rarely harmed their own children!

Only monsters who worshipped dark gods and had completely lost themselves would commit such an act!

Beside him, Loki’s heart pounded violently.

At that moment, he felt incomparably grateful that he had a good father.

Inside the Ravager spacecraft…

Yondu had once believed Ego, who devoured his own offspring, represented the height of cold-blooded cruelty!

But compared to this laughing Batman who had transformed his own son into a monster, even Ego no longer seemed particularly shocking!

“What a fucking lunatic!”

Yondu could not prevent himself from cursing.

Quill looked at him in surprise.

He had never seen Yondu become this angry before.

It was extraordinarily rare.

However, Quill was currently more concerned about what would happen to Superman’s family.

Upon seeing the unnatural smile of Damian, who had once called him “Uncle Clark,” Superman pulled his wife and son even closer.

He could clearly sense their trembling fear, yet there was nothing he could do to protect them.

At that moment, Superman experienced an unprecedented sense of helplessness!

The Batman Who Laughs looked upon the performance he had personally created with satisfaction before retrieving a black stone from beneath his cloak.

It was Black Kryptonite, an even more dangerous variation of Kryptonite!

And it was a gift he had carefully prepared for his dearest friend!

He was certain…

Superman would love it!
