"What are your thoughts on us, and on this world?"

Upon hearing this, Rune looked at the clown.

As the strongest being in the world, the founder of the Crime Syndicate, Superpower holds a pivotal position in this world. He was originally the strongest creature on Earth.

And the criminal syndicate under his command is naturally the strongest organization on the entire planet. But just when Superpower and the criminal syndicate were at their peak, Rune arrived.

He killed the world's smartest man, the Night Owl.

He killed the most powerful creature in the world—Super Overlord.

and then?

The clown squinted. Harley Quinn could happily rush up and hug the boy, but he wouldn't. Because he was curious about how Rune would treat this world.

Look, he has killed Superman and become the strongest man in the world. If Rune wants, he can have everything on Earth: power, money, and women!

"What am I going to do?" Rune released Harley Quinn and stepped into the clown's trap.

Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere between them, Harley Quinn moved closer and said loudly, "Hey, he killed Superman, you know. Don't be in such a hurry, let's celebrate first!"

"No, we can celebrate later." Rune waved to Harley Quinn, then turned to the Joker. "I was very unhappy when I came into this world."

Rune poked the clown's chest with his finger, where one of the famous Joker props was—the acid brooch. Not only superheroes had been tormented by this little gadget, but even many supervillains had been tricked by it.

"In other universes, you're the one representing evil, you're the supervillain." Rune stared intently at the clown. "And in my plan, the you in that other universe is destined to die!"

Indeed, before learning of the Forsaken's existence, Rune was somewhat hesitant about the Joker, but after learning of their existence, the Joker was added to Rune's kill list.

Rune couldn't tolerate such an unpredictable factor living in such an era. But the Joker was indeed useful enough, so he would choose another, safer Joker.

For example, there's this Joker counterpart in front of us—a righteous clown, or the Joker from the Flashpoint universe. Who knows, we might even be able to bring back a Batman who doesn't mind using a gun.

Hearing Rune's words, the clown continued to smile at Rune, "I can't control my counterparts in other worlds. What's important now is, what do you want to do?"

"How?" Rune sneered. "I'm going to announce the death of Superpower, rule this world, and finally use magic to reshape this twisted place. What do you think?"

The clown burst into laughter, finally clapping his hands, and then embraced Rune without any hesitation.

He had met Alexander Luthor and asked similar questions. This supervillain's counterpart possessed immense power, even capable of going toe-to-toe with Superman himself, but his ideology was completely different from Jester's.

In this world, Luther is indeed fighting for justice, but his methods are extremely ruthless. In order to combat the crime syndicate, he can even target ordinary people. As a result, when the news of Luther's execution spread, many ordinary people happily took to the streets to cheer.

"Are you familiar with the TV station here?" Rune asked after the clown released him. The clown was stunned for a moment after hearing the question, and then smiled.

"Of course, of course! I know them very well!"

Screams erupted one after another; most of the staff had already fled. The stench of blood in the studio now overpowered the original mingled smells of fried chicken, hamburgers, and perfume.

The screens that were originally playing the victory declaration of the crime syndicate and demanding obedience from ordinary people suddenly began to flicker with strange fluctuations.

However, one of the reporters was unable to run out in time because he needed to use the restroom.

"Strange—" Gotham City reporter Vicky Weir, who had just come out of the bathroom, frowned. She took a careful sniff of the air and then felt a chill run down her spine.

In Gotham City, only those mostly confined to mental hospitals would act this way. While she admired those who dared to rebel against the rule of the crime syndicate, however—

I still have to work! I have so many people to support!

She prayed that it wasn't the two most insane criminals, Harley Quinn and Joker, who might kill her because she had come into contact with them.

Snap—Snap—

Three people walked in. One of them walked with a steady gait, but the other two—they practically danced their way in.

No, no, no! Vicky cried out in her heart. The last two must be Jester and Harley Quinn. She was doomed!

All she can do now is curl up on the ground and pretend she's dead.

Rune casually tossed Superpower's head onto the news anchor desk with a dull thud. Blood instantly stained the smooth surface, but fortunately, he had already bled all his blood on the way there, so it didn't leave a mess.

Beside the clown was a group of clown gang members, their faces beaming with excitement. Some of these people had worked here before.

The closer one gets to the truth, the more righteous people will resist. These people, brought along by the clown, are clearly such heroes; although they are not strong, they are willing to do their part to overthrow the rule of the criminal syndicate.

But the Jokers, who once numbered over a thousand, are now reduced to just a few. This is all thanks to the Night Owls and Claws who died earlier.

"Lights!" A shrill, manic voice, tinged with a strange pleasure, rang out. "Yes, yes, yes! That's the angle! Turn on the lights! Let the whole world see Superman's expression before he died! Let them see that this so-called strongest man in the world could also feel fear!"

To attend the provincial capital, the clown put on his paint-stained suit and a ridiculous top hat, while Harley Quinn took a rare bath and redone her makeup. The two of them enthusiastically directed the members of the clown gang.

The Joker gang members chuckled and nodded in agreement. Even though the Joker and Harley Quinn hadn't clearly explained what the angle was, they still managed to easily satisfy the Joker.

Rune didn't concern himself with the personnel changes for the clowns; he left the professional work to the professionals. He simply sat down in one of the chairs and quietly waited for the camera to start up.

You know what, I'm actually a little nervous.
