Chapter 479 The Dejected Clown's Isotope

Who is Rune looking for?

Of course, it's those two unstable factors in Gotham.

It's still raining in Gotham, but everything here has changed.

After Deathstroke took over the entire United States, he immediately established an authoritarian government. Any creature that dared to commit a crime would be captured and tried by superpowered individuals. Even Gotham, a crime capital, was reduced to an ordinary city in a massive purge that could be described as a massacre.

This behavior naturally sparked some resistance, since even superheroes have different beliefs. For example, Two-Face strongly disagreed with Deathstroke's actions and hoped to return the decision-making power to ordinary people, but he was shot dead by Deathstroke.

This also gave rise to a large number of underground resistance fighters, but they were utterly ineffective. After all, with Rune's support, Deathstroke possessed the most powerful army in the world.

As for the clown and Harley Quinn —

The two of them are still in their original nuclear explosion protection facility, but they have become much more lethargic.

"I thought we'd be even happier after defeating the Night Owl!" The clown lay on the sofa, surrounded by countless empty bottles scattered on the floor, some containing a suspicious yellow liquid.

Harley Quinn was wearing only her underwear and bra, without even makeup. She kept pressing the remote control, and the TV screen kept switching between static and normal programs.

"Yeah, yeah," she replied lazily. Life without her nemesis was truly unbearable. During this time, she continued to indulge in her usual gluttony, but without the night owl, her physical activity level had drastically decreased, and the result was—

Harley tugged at the fat on her stomach and then let out a long sigh.

They believed that after defeating Night Owl, they would enter a new phase of life and challenge the entire crime syndicate. However, the organization was quickly wiped out by Rune, causing Joker and Harley Quinn to completely lose their purpose in life.

It was only at this moment that these two madmen realized that the process of entanglement with the night owl was the moment when their life's value was realized.

On this point, the Joker, the counterpart of the clown, sees it very clearly. He knows exactly what he wants to do. Making Batman break his killing spree is just the superficial final result. In reality, the Joker just wants to make Batman laugh.

He knew that his life's value was tied to Batman, so for Bruce, the Joker was most dangerous when Batman was safe, and the Joker was safest when Bruce was in danger.

However, these two won't have much time to be bored.

A dark portal opened, and the first person to emerge was wearing a red bodysuit, a helmet, and lightning bolt decorations.

The clown and Harley Quinn looked over immediately, but they assumed it was another of Deathstroke's henchmen trying to persuade them to go back and report for duty.

After all, he and Harley were quite popular among the superheroes of Gotham's generation, and if they went back to take up their posts, they might be able to reduce the resistance of the underground rebels.

"Where am I?" The Flash squinted and looked around, then saw Harley Quinn and Jester.

Barry certainly respects Batman's contributions to Gotham City, but personally, he prefers Midtown, which of course includes the resident villains.

The villains in Gotham are absolutely vicious, especially the Joker. Just thinking about him sends chills down the Flash's spine. He's just an ordinary person without superpowers, but he gives Barry a terrifying feeling.

And now, a clown is staring straight at him. Although his face is not quite the same as the clown in his universe, and he is filthy and has no weapons, the Flash feels inexplicably nervous.

When he caught a glimpse of Harley Quinn out of the corner of his eye, Barry's face immediately turned bright red. He covered his eyes and screamed, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Before the clown could say anything, Harley grinned mischievously. Instead of getting dressed, she ran naked to Barry and grabbed his arm.

Barry was bent over due to some embarrassing physical reactions, so Harley easily leaned close to his ear and said, "Oh, handsome, are you shy?"

"This is Gotham's underground nuclear preparedness facility, home to the counterparts of two of Batman's old friends." Rune stepped out of the portal. "Perhaps—"

It has to be said that Rune was shocked by what he saw.

It wasn't just because Harley was deliberately messing with Barry, but also because of the environment of this shelter. It was quite clean when I was here last time, but this time it has become so dirty and messy.

But—it seems like only a few months have passed since the Crime Syndicate was completely wiped out, right?

"Hey!" Upon seeing Rune, the clown finally couldn't sit still any longer. "Rune, can you find me a fun place?"

I'm so bored————

Gotham used to have so many bad guys, and the Joker could have played with them for a long time! But Deathstroke's purge ruined all those toys in just a few days, forcing the Joker to stay home for a long time, and even the Joker gang was disbanded.

If the crime syndicate is gone, what's the point of having a Joker gang?

Rune didn't answer the clown, but instead waved his hand, and all the trash in the entire shelter was instantly ignited by Fiendfire.

A few minutes later, the pizza that had been sitting for a long time, the half-eaten fried noodles that had grown mold, the half-bottle of cola that had stuck to the ground, and other garbage were all completely burned to ashes.

"Alright, I'm here to pick you up," Rune said. "There's a universe that desperately needs your help. Many of the superheroes there are indecisive and unwilling to kill the villains—"

His words attracted Harley Quinn as well. She screamed and jumped in front of Rune, her big, watery eyes wide open. Barry, who was standing to the side, finally dared to open his eyes and let out a sigh that was hard to tell whether it was disappointment or relief.

"Runn, although you are very strong, I still have to say that superheroes have no right to judge villains; only the law can—"

""

Before Barry could finish speaking, he saw the Joker staring intently at him, the warning in his eyes practically palpable. Harley Quinn and Rune also looked at him, especially Harley Quinn, whose eyes crinkled with laughter.

Barry, being a scientist after all, suddenly realized something.

"Wait, Rune, you don't mean to—"

Rune smiled and nodded. "See, that's the value system of most superheroes in that universe. I respect their ideas, but they also need two—"

"White gloves!" the clown laughed. "They need help from Uncle Clown and Aunt Harley!"

"Hey! I'm not an auntie yet!" Harley Quinn threw a high heel, hitting the clown squarely on the head, but there was no anger in her tone, only excitement.

Look, she's even starting to dress with such enthusiasm!
