Chapter 195 Hellish Jokes
Aquaman touched his crotch, and a fishy, reeking stench wafted up.
The others did not fare much better, and Batman elevated his threat assessment of Lucas to the maximum in the depths of his heart.
Wonder Woman, on the other hand, wore a face of utter astonishment.
Flash, just like Aquaman, had pissed himself.
"It’s time to go."
Lucas turned his head; the worldview of these four fellows had been thoroughly shaken.
I have to admit, it felt great!
Lucas raised his hand and flipped it, opening a wormhole in the void.
Using spatial power to travel was simply the best thing ever.
Three seconds later.
Earth.
The spatial rift opened, and Batman crashed to the ground in a dog-eating-shit posture. He flicked his cape, pretending to bounce back up upon impact, covered his head with his cloak, and reset his nasal bone.
Wonder Woman was still bound in a tortoise-shell bondage style.
Flash and Aquaman were hugging each other, brimming with bromance.
Before everyone could recover from that massive explosion, high above in the sky, an extremely heavy stream of white air tore through the thick clouds of the zenith and plummeted straight toward them.
Boom! ! !
Superman executed a cool landing.
This was the only man who dared to display his S openly on the outside!
A true... man!
Henry-Superman landed, standing far opposite Lucas.
The reason Superman was absent from the war against Steppenwolf was entirely because Lex Luthor had flexed his might.
Even though Doomsday had not killed Superman.
Lex could still drop a massive disaster on Superman.
"Transmigrator!"
Superman exposed Lucas’s identity in a single word.
Lucas’s eyes flickered slightly, but Superman’s next sentence caused Lucas’s expression to soften again.
"What is your purpose in crossing through the multiverse? I once conversed with the vast will of the Universe, and it said your existence is a malignant tumor!"
So he had been instilled with bad viewpoints by the supreme will.
How could Lucas possibly be a malignant tumor?
He merely wanted to bring all Universes under his command.
Conquest is every man’s dream!
Boom! !
The short-haired Supergirl followed closely behind, landing by Lucas’s side.
Kara took a step forward and leaned close to Lucas’s ear: "Sorry, I let my emotions get the better of me and seemed to reawaken his rationality. Now he might bring you some trouble!"
Lucas stood in place, his cape fluttering against one side of his neck, looking far more like a superhero than any of the Justice League members.
"Forget it, pay no mind to it."
Lucas said, "Although this cheap younger brother of yours is built like an ox, to want to cause me trouble—to be honest, he is still far from qualified!"
Clark’s eyes were clear and foolish.
He stared at Lucas, clenching his fists several times before letting them go.
When Lucas descended upon Earth last time, he helped them defeat Doomsday, saved Metropolis from disaster, and even saved his life.
This time descending upon Earth.
Both Steppenwolf and the Parademons were killed.
Earthlings were spared from interstellar invasion.
In the eyes of this Krypton son, Lucas merely acted absurdly and gave off the impression of being a good person.
He was just like another version of Bruce.
If he could tolerate Bruce, why couldn’t he tolerate Lucas?
"Transmigrator, even so..." Superman said, "but I can sense that there is no pure malice on you. If we can communicate, please tell me what you need?"
Superman took the initiative to yield!
Lucas clapped repeatedly; invading Superman’s mind was not difficult at all.
Superman had just been controlled by Lex Luthor, leaving his spiritual World exceptionally empty. Even with defenses set up, he could not withstand the power of the mind.
"How rare! There is actually a sensible person on this Earth! For this alone, I’ll let you all off!"
Lucas had originally planned to stir up some big trouble.
For instance, swapping the souls of Batman and Flash.
Having Wonder Woman and Aquaman swap as well.
Cosplay a wave of a gender-swap World.
Aquaman turns into Sea Queen, Wonder Woman turns into Wonder Hero.
By the way, trigger The Batman Who Laughs ahead of time, plunging the entire cinematic Universe into darkness.
But on second thought.
Apart from Batman pulling out a sonic device right off the bat, the others were still considered neutral. Revenge still had to be selective.
"Batman, do you know what kind of person walks into Crime Alley with six legs and finally walks out with only two legs?"
Batman raised his head slightly.
This seemed to be a riddle.
The puzzle given by the opponent was a person with six legs, but humans do not have six legs—at most they have five. The answer lay within the riddle itself, but the riddle premise was wrong to begin with.
Could it be a cyborg?
Then why did only two legs walk out in the end?
Crime Alley... Could this be a crime warning? His parents had once died in a small alley.
"I can’t guess it!"
Batman revealed his broad chin, which made Lucas think of a second hellish cold joke.
However, he answered the first one first.
"You can’t even guess this? Of course it’s Batman’s parents!"
Batman’s face instantly turned the color of a pig’s liver, his chin tightening slightly as he subconsciously reached for the gun at his waist.
"Hey, hey! Calm down! You can’t beat him!"
Flash was the fastest and immediately stopped Bruce.
"Alright, second riddle: guess why Batman’s mask deliberately exposes his chin?"
The others looked at Batman.
None of them dared to make a sound.
Who knew if it was another hellish cold joke.
"If you’re just torturing our minds, then you’ve won. Just say what you want; we might not necessarily give it, but we are definitely willing to fight to the death!"
Batman threw off Barry.
He had somewhat of a desperate, go-for-broke feeling.
"Hey! Why is your character quality so low? Superheroes need comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor; you don’t even have the most basic virtue! Every time I make an appearance, I’m saving you guys, yet I don’t even get a single word of thanks!"
"This masked gentleman even specifically created defensive attack methods targeting me!"
"And that lady bound in tortoise-shell bondage even wanted to confiscate my spoils of war. You guys judge this—does this make any sense?"
Superman scratched his hair, not wanting to comment.
Bruce was mentally ill; everyone knew this, but no one dared to bring it up.
"Wuwu!!!!"
Wonder Woman rolled to Lucas’s feet, struggling desperately like a wriggling maggot. It had been ages, and no one had untied her.
Wouldn’t it be fine if she surrendered?
"Get aside!"
Like playing soccer, Lucas kicked Wonder Woman away with one foot.
Diana’s head slammed into a rock with a crisp "bang" sound—what a nice-sounding head!
"Sorry!"
Batman apologized immediately.
"What you said makes sense. We thank you for your contribution to Earth. How do you need us to settle the interest? Is it money? Or something else..."
Batman was still able to endure.
Even though the opponent used hellish jokes about his parents to mock him, he could still go straight to the core of the issue.
"I need you guys to play riddles with me!"
"Now please answer!"
"Why does Batman’s mask deliberately expose his chin!"
