The Joker and Batman's New Contest
"Generally speaking, all cosmic powers have their own Star Map to some extent. Of course, it is still very difficult for a civilization that has just acquired interstellar capabilities to obtain Star Map, but Krypton should have Star Map, otherwise those ships would not have flown to Earth..." Hearing Clark's question, Carol stretched out her hand, explaining as she controlled a light screen to appear on her gauntlet, within which countless points of light could be faintly seen.
"And this is my Star Map. Without the navigation of an intelligent system, navigating the universe is indeed extremely difficult. If you really want to go to space, whether you use a spaceship or go alone, you can't do without the help of Star Map!"
"I see..." Clark nodded in understanding. In the grand scheme of the universe, individual life forms are simply too insignificant. Even someone as powerful as Clark, if he wanted to travel through the universe using his own abilities, would at most be like a ship adrift on the Ocean, without even a compass, and could only wander aimlessly in the boundless Ocean.
Soon, Clark and Carol returned to the Savage Island. Neither of them mentioned the previous battle again. Apart from modifying this Subspace, Robet and the others returned to their previous way of life.
"Strange, where did this Mephisto that Constantine mentioned go? Why is there still no news about him?" However, as Robet resumed his cultivation, he couldn't help but feel puzzled as to why Mephisto, a guy who even Constantine was somewhat afraid of, had simply disappeared.
Of course, Robet wasn't the only one with this question; Constantine shared the same doubt. How could an old monster like Mephisto appear without leaving a trace? Was he perhaps brewing an even bigger conspiracy?
Just thinking about it made Constantine a little scared. He would occasionally take out his trump cards to show off, but he felt that these were no match for a monster like Mephisto, which made him even more uneasy, until he finally received some intelligence.
"What? Someone's soul was burned to ashes, but there are no visible injuries on their body? It seems to be Hellfire?" Constantine had many places to gather information, but this time it was the Shadow Hunter had made the difference. This news made Constantine frown.
Hellfire may sound ordinary, merely a flame from hell that any fire Demon could wield. But in reality, Hellfire is an extremely powerful flame in hell, capable of striking directly at the soul, and even intricately connected to the primal power of the Hell Dimension dimension.
Demon capable of wielding Hellfire could never be an ordinary Demon. Coupled with Mephisto's previous appearance, Constantine felt that he had likely found Mephisto's whereabouts!
However, discovering Hellfire and continuing the investigation wasn't so simple. Before actually finding Mephisto's trail, Constantine didn't plan to contact Robet. Constantine worried that if he failed to find Mephisto and instead summoned Robet, Robet would beat him up first...
Meanwhile, after obtaining the power of Ghost Rider, the Joker headed towards Gotham. Remembering Mephisto's words, the Joker even drove his Joker Mobile. With the blessing of Hellfire, the Joker Mobile transformed into a brand new vehicle, completely turning the Joker into the Ghost Rider Kid.
After that, the Joker didn't rush back to Gotham. Instead, he dedicated himself to the cause of mental illness, since his previous circus Joker career was failing and he needed to explore new avenues.
But even the best can make mistakes, and even the Joker cannot see through everyone's heart, let alone determine whether someone has committed a serious crime without using the Penance Stare.
Therefore, the Joker also has his moments of dissatisfaction. Sometimes, he just wants to drive some people who don't look so good insane, to make them mentally ill. But he didn't expect that the other party would actually be a monster in human form, and the crimes he committed would be enough to make him a minor overlord in Gotham. So it's not surprising that he accidentally left behind a few corpses whose souls were burned by Hellfire.
"This is boring. The Little Bat is much more interesting. I think I'll head back to Gotham!" After misjudging the good and evil of several people in a row, the Joker changed his mind, somewhat annoyed. People from Gotham were easier to identify. At the same time, the Joker stroked his Joker Mobile, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes, and said, "Since the Joker Mobile was created, it has never beaten the Batmobile. But this time, it's the Batmobile's turn to crash, isn't it?"
The Joker Mobile is essentially Joker of Batman's Batmobile, but unfortunately, Batman has several Batmobile and the Joker has several Joker Mobile, none of the Joker Mobile can surpass the Batmobile.
Because Batman's Joker Mobile's in both technology and materials, how could the Joker Mobile possibly win?
But this time, the Joker was confident that his Ghost Joker Mobile would not lose!
And so, the Joker drove his Joker Mobile day and night towards Gotham. At night, the Joker Mobile Joker Mobile the power of Hellfire, while during the day it consumed fuel, making it even slower during the day than at night. Finally, the Joker returned to Gotham City he knew best.
"Huh? Arkham's finished so quickly? Everything around it's all repaired? Did Little Bat do this? Is he hoping I'll come home sooner? He really... I'm going to cry..." The Joker rushed to his home, near Arkham Asylum. Seeing the surrounding environment restored after the battle, the Joker grinned. "No way! Little Bat put in so much effort, I'm so touched! I have to give Little Bat a good beating!"
The Joker seems to have forgotten that while repairing the environment would indeed require considerable effort and resources for a normal person, for Batman, who wears the Ika Mask, it's merely a matter of talking.
With the Shadow Warrior working tirelessly day and night, and with Batman's financial support, the recovery here is happening much faster than Batman initially imagined. People have even started moving into Arkham Asylum...
"Hehe, Little Bat, I'm here!" Under the cover of night, the excited Joker drove his Joker Mobile straight into downtown Gotham City. Butler Alfred, quickly located the Joker's position.
"Master, the Joker is back, but his car seems to be on fire?" The Butler Alfred, had never seen Hellfire before, so his voice carried a hint of hesitation. "I wonder what material this Joker Mobile is made of; it seems quite fire-resistant..."
"The Joker Mobile? He's brought out that cheap knock-off again?" Batman said, somewhat annoyed. Batman couldn't stand the Joker's malicious imitation of his things, especially since the Joker Mobile was just too ugly, uglier than the Joker himself, and it always lost to the Batmobile Central City every collision.
At that moment, after hearing that the Joker Batman reappeared in his Joker Mobile and seemed to have gained some strange abilities, Batman once again drove his Batmobile straight to the Joker's location.
"Boom boom boom!" The roaring engine sounded in the Gotham night. The Batmobile was so fast that it could not be seen clearly in the darkness. In front of the Batmobile, a vehicle with flames was speeding forward.
"Huh? Little Bat, you've finally arrived?" When the Joker spotted the Batmobile, his Joker Mobile slowly came to a stop, the flames on the vehicle gradually dying down. He had been waiting for the Batmobile to arrive. Only when the Batmobile stopped beside him and Gatling guns rose from the vehicle did the Joker speak with a smile.
"Interested in a contest? Let's see who gets to Arkham Asylum first. If you win, I'll willingly let you catch me, put me on trial, and then lock me up in Arkham Asylum. I've seen it; it's been rebuilt. I need to go get my deluxe single room back..."
"Of course, if you lose, then I'm sorry, but tonight someone in Gotham will definitely go crazy. However, compared to the two of us, that person might be a little less crazy!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!!!" The Joker's words had barely faded when the Gatling gun on the Batmobile opened fire. It wasn't aimed at the Joker to kill him; if it had, the Joker would have been overjoyed.
Under the barrage of Gatling gun fire, all the tires of the Joker Mobile were blown out, and the doors were riddled with bullets. The bullets deliberately avoided vital areas such as the fuel tank and the driver's seat.
As for a driving contest with the Joker, Batman hadn't considered it. He knew the Joker was prepared, and since he had proposed such a competition, he must be confident of winning.
Batman didn't want a pointless contest with the Joker. He figured it would be better to capture the Joker and lock him up in Arkham Asylum first. Without the Joker, could Arkham Asylum still be called Arkham Asylum?
"Heh heh, Batman, scared? Too bad for you, even if you blew up my Joker Mobile, it wouldn't affect me in the slightest!" The Joker chuckled, and Hellfire erupted once more, followed by Joker mocking voice. "I'll count to three, and then we'll set off. If you're late, I'm sorry, but I'll drive someone insane as a gift to Arkham Asylum! Of course, you can try and see if you can destroy me and my car together..."
"Three! Two! One!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
As the Joker finished speaking, the two cars shot off like arrows. This wasn't because they were going too fast; at that speed, they were definitely flying too low.
The Batmobile is a vehicle that Batman modified at great expense, so its speed is self-evident. Comparing it to normal vehicles is an insult to the Batmobile. The Batmobile is even faster than some of Iron Man's armor!
However, even so, the Batmobile was still at a significant disadvantage against the Ghost Joker Mobile. The Joker Mobile, wreathed in flames, was simply too fast, easily leaving the Batmobile stranded on two corners. In the end, Batman couldn't even see the Joker Mobile's taillights anymore, only the charred marks on the ground.
Batman frowned and changed the Batmobile's power system, making Batmobile take off. When the Batmobile took off, its speed clearly increased, but even so, Batmobile still couldn't catch up with the Joker Mobile.
Therefore, Batman ignored the road and locked onto the location of Arkham Asylum in mid-air, rushing towards it at a straight distance, wanting to catch up with the Joker Mobile. After all, Batman didn't want anyone to go insane tonight because of his defeat...
"Little Bat, you're cheating! How can a car fly? Why don't you go fly an airplane?" The Joker quickly noticed that the Batmobile was gradually catching up to him in mid-air because it was running in a straight line, and he shouted in dissatisfaction.
But Batman ignored the Joker, even placing a hand on his belt, worried that the Joker might go back on his word later; after all, the Joker had done such things before.
"Not going to say anything?" Seeing that Batman ignored him and even seemed poised to arrive at Arkham Asylum faster than him, the Joker shook his head and launched a series of flaming darts towards the Batmobile.
"Hmm?" Batman frowned at the Joker's flaming darts, ultimately choosing to dodge. He wasn't sure of the power of the flames, but Batman didn't want his Batmobile to lose its mobility.
As for the time it would take to dodge, Batman wasn't worried, because he could also buy time by fighting back against the Joker's Joker Mobile!
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!" The Gatling gun on the Batmobile opened fire again, but the Joker Mobile showed no intention of dodging. The bullets pierced the Joker Mobile, turning into Joker Mobile and onto the ground.
"Whoosh!" Batman's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, and he immediately aimed the missile at the Joker Mobile and launched it directly. He didn't believe that the Joker Mobile could ignore bullets as well as cannonballs!
"Boom!" An explosion rang out on the ground, and the Joker Mobile was indeed thrown into the air. However, when the Joker Mobile landed, the flames on the vehicle became even more intense, and the Joker Mobile became even faster, heading straight towards Arkham Asylum. In the end, with the help of the raging flames, the Joker Mobile arrived at Arkham Asylum first, and the Joker won this race!
"Batman! I won! Now, it's time for you to pay the price!" The Joker's triumphant voice rang out as he stepped out of his Joker Mobile, looking at the Batmobile in the distance and laughing. "I know you hired a new doctor, but how can a doctor who doesn't go mad be a good doctor at Arkham Asylum? Don't you think so?"
