Consciousness Space

"Brother Huo, please sit here."

The second step of the plan, to ensure a higher success rate, requires Huo Ziping's involvement.

Han Dong pointed to a bench covered with cables.

Han Dong had already explained in advance what Huo Ziping needed to do.

If it were their first meeting, even if the ultimate goal was to kill the clown, Huo Ziping would definitely reject such an approach. It would be very risky, and if Han Dong tricked him along the way, it would be troublesome.

However, having gone through various experiences, Huo Ziping had completely let down his guard against Han Dong.

"Brother Huo, don't worry... this won't be a battle you fight alone."

"It's okay if you're alone."

Huo Ziping sat steadily in the chair, and the device was connected to his skin by his Embryo Incarnations... The function of the device was to transmit Huo Ziping's consciousness and maintain the stability of the body while the consciousness was out of the body.

After Huo Ziping made an OK sign.

Han Dong immediately began 'limb splicing'.

[Six Paths] The entire body was placed on a pre-set instrument, including the right arm that Han Dong had taken away for three years, and the arm that had been taken over by the Earl's consciousness.

The device reacts immediately when limbs are brought close together.

Numerous balloon-like lines emerge from the wound, rapidly combining from different parts to form a complete body.

"Director Sam."

With Han Dong's call.

The little boy Sam opened his mouth and spat out the clown's soul hidden inside his body... He then hooked the soul with his scythe and sent it into the clown's perfect body.

The return of the soul is complete.

As his body and soul returned, the Joker's consciousness also fully awakened at that moment.

He found himself enveloped in No-light Zone, with Abominable Colors covering his entire body. He was sitting in a chair connected by lines, surrounded by numerous instruments, and unable to move.

"Hahaha! Dean Richard, Director Sam, Mayor! You're all here... Oh, let's talk this out! I'm willing to be a good resident and also willing to go to the Prison Area to reform myself."

"Could you please stop restricting me like this right from the start... Wait, something feels weird with my right hand."

The clown turned his head to look at his right arm.

He discovered a scarlet mark on the back of his hand that didn't belong to him, with a few fleshy tentacles wriggling on the mark's surface... His entire arm was completely out of the Joker's control, and was even eroding his body in the opposite direction.

"My right hand! Nicholas, what have you done..."

There was no response.

Han Dong immediately waved to Professor West in the control room and pulled the switch.

The instrument is in operation.

The clown's consciousness was immediately drawn by the instrument... In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at a consciousness space.

Professor West created the consciousness space— the Earl's Private Theater —according to Han Dong's requirements.

Inside the theater, a man dressed in a bright red robe and wearing a spiked goggles was playing the piano piece "The Erlking" on stage.

Wearing clown shoes and holding Red Balloon, Clown - Pennywise slowly walked up the aisle in the center of the theater, staring at the performers above, and smelled a familiar scent.

"You're the one who's taken over my right arm, aren't you?"

I never expected to meet someone with the same attribute in this way, haha...

Just as the clown was trying to laugh.

A terrifying bloodhound sprouted directly from behind the Earl and, with lightning speed, opened its mouth to bite the clown below the stage.

The hardened tentacles, forming sharp teeth, can easily bite through the body.

Snap!

With a popping sound, only some balloon fragments remained on the ground.

A clown with the same makeup walked out from the back of the theater, leading a balloon.

"The fact that you can so easily take over my arm means we really are of the same element... How about I give you half of my body and we take control of Derry Town together?"

"If we join forces, these people are definitely not ours..."

The Earl on the stage, shielding his eyes with one hand from the spikes, raised his voice and interrupted the clown's speech:

"Disappointing... I'm so disappointed."

I thought the guy with the "Laughing Maniac" attribute would be more interesting.

I didn't expect it to be just a piece of trash trying to survive, hahaha!

"Hahaha!" The clown in the audience also burst into laughter. "Oh... it seems you want to completely monopolize my body."

However, I am in control now.

In a one-on-one situation, I might not necessarily lose, haha!

In a short time.

The clown's body suddenly grew larger.

Incomprehensible muscle tissue piled up on the surface of the body, Transform Into a super muscle monster with a height and width exceeding three meters... It also held the "Treasure Box" in its hand, taking out a large number of highly lethal items from its contents.

Hammers, scissors, guillotines, and so on.

The clown rummaged through the Treasure Box for a long time before finally pulling out a strange grenade with a smiley face drawn on it and red hair from the very bottom.

Then, the clown struck a baseball pitching pose... channeling all his muscles into a powerful boom!

As it was thrown, a ripple of air spread outwards.

It flew toward the Earl at a terrifying speed that exceeded the speed of sound.

This shows just how terrifying the Joker's strength is when he's in a muscular pose.

Even if the grenade doesn't explode, it's enough to penetrate flesh.

Faced with this situation, the Scarlet Count remained unmoved and continued playing the piano.

When an impact is imminent.

Bass!

A flash of golden light.

The grenade split in two, falling to the ground with a low, chuckling sound. The blade seemed to have just cut the bomb's ignition point, preventing it from exploding.

Behind the stage.

The third person to arrive in this space of consciousness stepped out with a sword in hand... The appearance of this person also made the clown, who was in a muscular state, turn ugly, and he spurted out a strange grasshopper foreleg from his mouth.

Huo Ziping.

A human who personally killed the Joker himself in the main storyline.

At that moment, the Earl closed the piano lid, stood up and stood on the same line as Huo Ziping, gazing at the clown at the bottom of the stage.

Because of the battle between Han Dong and Huo Ziping, the Earl, who was fighting alongside him inside the body, absolutely acknowledged the young man's strength.

"I never said I wanted one-on-one."

The inner platform of the pyramid.

When they fight each other in virtual space using their consciousness.

Han Dong is using the device to deeply analyze the clown's body structure and analyze the Mad Laughter Factor distributed in different areas of the body.

A moment later, Professor West's voice came through the loudspeaker:

"We have obtained the distribution map of the Mad Laughter Factor across Pennywise's entire body, with the highest concentration in his head and torso... Shall we begin?"

"Wait a minute... the clown should be able to hold on for a while longer."

Professor West, Dean Richard, Mayor... do you know what this is? When I found the clown's torso in the monastery, I discovered these markings on its body.

Han Dong pointed to the clown's navel.

Centered on the navel, strange Black Vortex radiate outwards in all directions, not like they were drawn on.

"The mark of the Uncontrolled One, the vortex... Such a mark will appear on the body of an individual who is rejected by the Destiny Space."

This is also the main reason why we intend to execute Pennywise.

The town mayor gave the answer directly.
