Improving Strength

Everyone discovered that there was no nuclear bomb to destroy Gotham City.

To the point that some even thought the Joker's words were just hot air, completely untrustworthy.

But only Bai Lang knew that the Joker's nuclear bomb was indeed set up; he had just broken the detonator.

This resulted in the Joker staring blankly at the remote control in his hand, achieving a world where only the Joker was hurt.

"Not exploding? Why isn't it exploding?!" The Joker's face contorted as he frantically pressed the remote control.

But the nuclear bomb in the city center still showed no reaction, while Bai Lang's fists did.

Those fists, as large as sandbags, landed on the Joker's face again and again, utterly merciless.

"I know what you fear most: dying anonymously, with no one remembering you after death..."

A sharp black hood covered Bai Lang's face, revealing only his sexy chin.

But the Joker could hear the cold killing intent in his words.

"...Your death is meaningless, just like you are a grain of sand in this world..."

"Hahahahaha!! You're joking, new Batman, how could I be afraid of something like this?!"

The Joker tried to mask the fear in his eyes with laughter, but Bai Lang already knew what kind of person he was.

Gotham City belonged not only to Batman but also to the Joker.

The Joker and Batman were like opposites: one was chaos and disorder, while the other was lawful justice.

Neither could be absent.

This was why after one Joker died, another would appear.

Bai Lang didn't know if Bat God Barbatos was in Gotham at this time, but he was determined to kill the Joker; even Jesus couldn't stop him!

He was afraid that if he let the Joker go, the next time it would be another nuclear bomb to blow him up.

It was still insufficient strength; if he could break through the Magnetic Field Rotation realm and reach 200,000 horsepower, capable of withstanding a nuclear bomb, then he wouldn't care what the other party did.

Bai Lang's large hand tightly gripped the Joker's neck, like an iron clamp.

The feeling of suffocation surged, the Joker's eyes rolled upwards, and his hands grabbed Bai Lang's wrists, struggling continuously.

"Don't kill him!" Bruce Wayne exclaimed in shock when he saw Bai Lang was truly going to kill the Joker.

"Are you trying to kill me? I'm telling you! I'm not just one person, I'm an idea! As long as Gotham exists, there will always be a Joker!" the Joker squeezed out.

"So what? At least the anger in my heart is resolved!"

With that, Bai Lang's palm exerted a sudden force.

With a crack, the Joker was killed before Bruce Wayne, before all the people of Gotham, by this incredibly strong Batman!

Bruce Wayne stared blankly at the Joker, killed by this so-called Super Batman.

The person he had fought for so many years was now crushed to death like a chick.

This sent a huge shock through his heart, even fearing that the Super Batman's powerful strength would plunge Gotham into chaos.

It also strengthened his resolve: 'The anti-Batman armor must be built, and I must have a way to control him!'

[Ability Points +20]

Glancing at the prompt box before him, Bai Lang casually tossed the Joker's corpse aside.

'I wonder if this Joker had the Dionysus Factor. If he really did, then it would be a profit.'

The Dionysus Factor was a mysterious green liquid metal with powerful self-healing and regenerative abilities.

Some versions of the Joker possessed the purest Dionysus Factor, which was why those Jokers never died.

However, it seemed that the Joker who died by Bai Lang's hand did not have the Dionysus Factor in his body.

Still, 20 Ability Points were pretty good.

Bai Lang heard the approaching police sirens and looked at the real Batman, Bruce Wayne, tied to a chair.

He saw the latter constantly struggling against the ropes binding him, attempting to escape.

Bai Lang moved, his entire body turning into an afterimage, instantly disappearing into the night.

The real Batman, Bruce Wayne, had his butler, Alfred, drive the Batmobile to take him away before Director Gordon and his team arrived.

When Director Gordon and his men arrived, all that was left was the Joker's corpse and the two unlucky individuals locked in the green containment.

"I didn't expect to gain 20 Ability Points from killing the Joker, and it seems this Joker at this time didn't have the Joker Virus or the Dionysus Factor," Bai Lang said with some regret, looking at his blue panel.

Both the Dionysus Factor and the Joker Virus would have been absolute treasures for him at this stage.

The Dionysus Factor could heal all injuries and grant immortality.

The Joker Virus, on the other hand, would affect people, causing them to become lunatics.

This characteristic coincided perfectly with the abilities of Magnetic Field Rotation.

The Magnetic Field Rotation ability can keep getting stronger as long as you follow your true nature.

Just like how the nagging Oga became the strongest stat monster in the Hai Hu world by constantly being nagging.

And if Bai Lang were to acquire the Joker Virus, under its influence, he would turn into that Joker fellow, and wouldn't his Magnetic Field Rotation ability just skyrocket?

Not to mention that Magnetic Field Rotation, once it reaches the realm of cellular regeneration later on, can expel the Joker Virus from the body.

This is practically a magic potion for increasing strength!

But it's a shame, this Joker looks like just an ordinary person, with nothing special. It was rather unexpected to run into Deathstroke.

Bai Lang vaguely felt that he was being influenced by Gotham City, even thinking of using the Joker Virus to boost his strength.

He shook his head helplessly and brought up the blue panel.

It displayed his current ability progress and the 25 Ability Points he gained tonight.

[Name: Bai Lang]
[Lifespan: 23/120]
[Abilities: Level 1 Firearms Mastery (71%), [Level 2 Combat Mastery 5%], Current Propulsion 105,000 Volts / 500,000 Volts (Superior Ability: Magnetic Field Rotation)]
[Ability Points: 25 (Gained by influencing the world)]
[Can spend 50 Ability Points to draw other abilities or unlock a function]

"Another 25 Ability Points. Should I go all-in on Current Propulsion, or split a few points into Combat Mastery?"

He hesitated, but thinking of the sniper he encountered tonight, he immediately made up his mind.

"All-in on Current Propulsion!"

The most pressing matter now was to reach the stage where he could withstand bullets.

If two or even three snipers had aimed at him during his encounter with Deathstroke today, he might have been in trouble!

So, until he reached 200,000 Volts to be able to block bullets, it was best to go all-in on Current Propulsion with the Ability Points he gained.

The Ability Points on the panel rapidly flickered, and Bai Lang felt a surge of heat from all over his body.

The friction speed of the cells within his body accelerated once more, almost transforming into pure power.

Current was constantly generated, and at the same time, the muscles in his body became harder than rock.

And the thick keratin layer also gradually spread across his entire chest, covering his vital areas.

[Current Propulsion 105,000 Volts] → [Current Propulsion 155,000 Volts]
