Diana: Interested in the Demon I've Got Here?
Under the Joker's expectant gaze, the Mask Demon's body began to tremble. A dark power rose from the Demon's body, but when it encountered a certain spot on the Demon's head, the Dark Power clearly retreated...
"It seems the Mask's power isn't working very well after all!" The Joker said, his eyes flickering slightly as he carefully observed the Demon's changes.
Although both the Demon and General Ika previously claimed that their respective dimensions were the most powerful, it now seems that the Hell Dimension is still superior...
After all, the Joker had glimpsed some of the immense Dark Power within the Mask, but even this Mask couldn't completely devour and control Demon Demon's original power; it merely suppressed it...
But General Ika is clearly much stronger than the Demon! Otherwise, the Demon wouldn't have been captured by just a few Shadow Warrior.
"Huh? Who won?" After a while, the Demon suddenly stopped moving, and the fluctuations of its power subsided without any movement. This made the Joker look at the Demon with some curiosity and ask with a smile.
With a "whoosh!" sound, at that moment, a huge claw grabbed at the Joker's head, as if it wanted to smash the Joker's head on the spot!
"Tsk tsk tsk!" However, faced with such a life-or-death crisis, the Joker chuckled, his expression showing no sign of panic, and said, "Little Ikka, you're being naughty. What? Do you want to leave me? Then I'll be very sad..."
"I've got him under control. Now it's clear that the Dark Dimension is still superior!" General Ika's Demon Claws stopped in front of the Joker, but ultimately didn't dare to grab him. After spending so much time with the Joker General Ika, General Ika still hadn't figured out what this terrifying man's true strength was. Coupled with the man's previous behavior, General Ika finally succumbed to the Joker's power.
"Why don't you give it a try? You might just kill me!" The Joker looked at General Ika with a hint of anticipation and said with a smile, "To be honest, I was really scared just now, I almost died..."
"I won't try. I'm worried that if I kill you, you'll become an even more terrifying Demon after you go to Hell..." General Ika paused for a moment. Although he had controlled the Demon, his strength was not on the same level as the Demon's at all. He also roughly understood that, in terms of dimensional strength, the Dark Dimension he was in was indeed inferior to the Hell Dimension.
After acquiring the Mask and the Dark Dimension, the Joker will possess power far exceeding his original strength. Therefore, if the Joker truly dies and descends into the Hell Dimension, he will likely become an even more terrifying being...
"So, you really have him under control?" The Joker sighed with some disappointment, then looked at the Demon's body and asked.
"He's under control. There's no way he can struggle anymore. This is the power of the Dark Dimension. He's no different from those Shadow Warrior!" General Ika said firmly.
"Oh?" The Joker's eyes lit up, then he asked expectantly, "What if this Demon devours other Hell Demon and continues to increase its power? Can it still be controlled?"
"What do you want?" General Ika paused for a moment, then looked at the Joker with some hesitation and asked.
"That's right, Gotham is my and Little Bat's territory. How can we allow other creatures to cause trouble? It's a good opportunity to feed this Demon and see just how powerful it can become when Demon's truly strong..." The Joker's eyes flickered slightly as a new plan flashed through Joker mind.
"There shouldn't be a problem. His hellish power hasn't been completely devoured by the Dark Power; it's just that his consciousness has become a servant. All I need to do is... give the order." General Ika paused for a moment, then said softly after a long pause.
With a "snap!", Joker Feiyan nodded and directly removed the Mask from the Demon's face, while the Demon remained frozen in place.
"Little Ikka, to be honest, I'm a little reluctant to part with you!" The Joker put the Ika Mask back on and said in a sickly tone.
"Huh?" General Ika was a little confused. If he was reluctant, he could just keep wearing it. Anyway, he couldn't possibly rebel against the Joker, so he might as well just admit defeat for now.
"Go, devour your companions. But it seems you're rather weak; perhaps the Shadow Warrior could lend you a hand!" The Joker didn't answer General Ika's question, but instead waved his hand. The Shadow Demon and the Shadow Warrior vanished, beginning to treat Gotham as their new hunting ground...
"How did he do that? He controlled a Demon? And he's nurturing that Demon? Isn't he afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?!" Several days later, Batman frowned. He had also discovered the whereabouts of the Shadow Demon, but Batman was too late. The Shadow Demon's strength was beyond that of the Shadow Warrior or any ordinary Demon.
Batman attempted to suppress it with heavy firepower, but unfortunately, even laser weapons posed no threat to the Shadow Demon. After Batman increased the power, the Shadow Demon vanished in a few flashes. When the next Demon appeared, the Shadow Demon would reappear, continuing to devour its companions to increase its own strength.
"Master, it's time to make a decision!" Butler Alfred's voice rang out, causing Batman to frown, because he had not yet tested whether the backup plan he had prepared for Roberta could effectively control Robet.
"Could we lure Superman to Gotham? If we could get them both to appear together, it might make them wary of each other, although we don't yet know who is stronger..." Batman asked after a moment of silence, inquiring about the feasibility of the plan.
Since the decision has already been made to find outside help, it's impossible to find someone who is completely uncontrollable. On the contrary, if the outside help can check and balance each other, it would be a good thing for Batman.
Yes, even knowing Robet's identity, Batman was unaware of Clark's Superman identity at that time. This was not only because the differences between Clark and Superman were quite significant, but also because Superman and Robet appeared at completely different times and had drastically different abilities and styles in Batman's eyes.
Robet had crossed paths with Batman, so Batman knew Robet quite well. Superman, however, was relatively unfamiliar to Batman, giving him a sense of distance. Even Batman had to admit that Superman was more like a god than a human. After seeing the Demon appear, Batman even wondered if Superman might be a figure from some mythology...
"It's a bit difficult. Superman's movements are not fixed. It seems that wherever there is danger, he will appear there, but he has never been to Gotham, not even when he passes by..." Butler Alfred quickly gave his analysis.
"It seems Superman feels that with you, Gotham, there's no need for him as a new superhero."
"Superhero? Ha." Batman uttered an ambiguous sound. Even if he suspected that Superman was some mythical figure, Batman didn't have much affection for Superman, because he didn't believe that a so-called god could be without desires. Superman's appearance and the things he did must have some unknown purpose!
In this respect, Batman actually finds Robet slightly more agreeable. At least in his eyes, Robet is more like a human being, and humans will eventually have their weaknesses found!
"Give it a try. As for Robet, contact him too. We can't let this Demon continue to devour us. I'm worried he'll eventually lose control..." Batman came to his senses after a long while, and in the end, he chose to contact Robet.
However, Robet received a text message first from Diana, asking Robet to come over. Diana said there was a strange Demon that she couldn't track down, and asked if Robet could help find it, since Robet's perception abilities were quite unique.
"Kara, I'm going out for a bit. You continue to lead Peter Parker and the others in dealing with the Demon. We shouldn't need the Demon Curse anymore, since Demon have been appearing quite frequently lately. I've found an interesting Demon over there, go check it out..." Robet, who was leading Peter Parker and the others in searching for Demon, suddenly lit up when he saw the news about the strange Demon. Thinking that he hadn't visited Diana in a while, he hurriedly called out to Kara and disappeared in a flash.
"An interesting Demon?" Kara frowned slightly, glancing at the spot where Robet had disappeared. Then, noticing Susan Storm and Lorna's gazes, she raised her head proudly and said, "What are you looking at? Your strength is improving so slowly, aren't you more concerned about how to deal with Demon? Now that Robet is gone, I'm your instructor..."
"Tch! A fox borrowing the tiger's power!" Susan Storm just smiled calmly when she heard Kara's words, but Lorna muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Borrowing power from others? Regardless of whether some of them are genuinely intimidated, even in terms of sheer strength, they're no match for me. Want to give it a try?" Kara's beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked at Lorna with a mocking gaze. Now that Robet wasn't holding her back, if Lorna dared to provoke her again, she'd show Lorna what she was made of!
"Fine, I won't stoop to your level!" Lorna shrank back. She had thought that after the second enhancement of the Talisman's power, she would be able to compete with Kara. However, from her experience dealing with those Demon, Lorna knew the gap between herself and Kara. But she still stubbornly insisted on saying it.
Except for matters concerning Robet, Kara was generally able to suppress Lorna whenever she truly unleashed her aura and looked at Lorna.
"Huh? Why is Diana starting to fight right away? Has Diana already found that strange Demon?" On the other side, Robet sensed Diana's aura as soon as he flew near Europe. Fearing that Diana had already dealt with the Demon, Robet quickly accelerated and flew towards Diana's direction.
With a "poof!" sound, just as Robet was about to arrive, Robet saw the battle-hardened Diana plunge the God Killer Sword into the Demon's head, instantly turning the Demon into dust and disappearing without a trace.
"Spare the demon with your sword... um?" Robet exclaimed subconsciously, but quickly turned Robet gaze to Diana's left and unleashed a Ki Blast.
With a roar, a blurry figure appeared where the Ki Blast was, letting out a roar, but before it could finish, it was blasted away by the Ki Blast.
After a few rolls, the blurry outline vanished completely. Robet's eyesight, hearing, aura perception, and Telekinesis —all his methods of observation—could not locate it...
"You've arrived? That was quick. Why haven't you come to see me in so long?" Diana sheathed the God Killer Sword, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked at Robet and asked with a half-smile.
"I've been quite busy since I got back, especially lately. They say a dimensional rift has opened up, and Demon are popping up one after another, but unfortunately, not many are powerful..." Robet landed in front of Diana, shrugged, and looked her up and down before asking, "So, that guy just now was the strange Demon you were talking about? How did he disappear?"
