Upon entering Arkham Asylum, Bruce Yu thought he had gone to the wrong place.

"Are you sure there's no wrong sign here? Is this a mental hospital or Joker's house?"

The walls of the mental hospital were covered with layers of irregularly shaped protrusions and depressions. It was unclear why they were arranged this way; perhaps it was simply meant to give people goosebumps.

Where there used to be windows, now they are covered by a translucent substance that emits a ghostly green fluorescence. The faint light coming in from the outside is filtered by this substance, becoming mottled and eerie, casting strange shadows on the ground.

God knows what Batman researched and came up with.

After all, this guy had thoroughly tormented these elites in the job market.

At the corner of the corridor, there were some huge glass containers filled with all sorts of strange creatures. Bruce Yu made a simple guess: these things must be related to the genes of the Killer Croc.

What's worse, chilling screams echo from every corner of the place, adding to the terrifying atmosphere in this Cthulhu- themed setting.

Bruce Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

Just as Bruce Yu was somewhat dazed by the scene before him, a rough and deep voice suddenly rang out in the mental hospital!

"Welcome to our Gotham friend, Bruce Yu! This Asian anti-hero! We've been waiting for you! We never expected him to come here and turn himself in!"

A blinding beam of light suddenly cascaded down from the ceiling, striking the center of the lobby ahead.

Under the bright light, a lone red stool suddenly appeared in Bruce Yu's field of vision.

The stool began to slowly rotate, making a creaking sound. As the stool rotated faster, a figure gradually became clearer.

Bruce Yu's pupils contracted instantly, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

What came into his view was a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The familiarity stemmed from the well-defined jawline and resolute gaze—clearly the Batman he knew.

It was unfamiliar because this face exuded an aura of madness and evil never seen before. The skin was sickly pale, the lips were chapped, and the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a twisted smile.

The iconic bat mask on his head was now stained with an eerie red, as if it had been soaked in blood.

That's Batman!

No! That's the face of the Red Death!

His face was trembling slightly due to the Speed Force. The frequency was so high that putting his head in a glass jar would probably be more efficient than a blender. In this state, Batman looked a little dim-witted, but Bruce Yu knew very well that Batman, who had gained the Speed Force and become the Red Death, was extremely difficult to deal with.

Of course, they are not completely impossible to kill.

"It's definitely not a proper universe," Bruce Yu couldn't help but mutter, as Batman across from him smiled.

"Long time no see! Can you smell the romance in this air?"

Bruce Yu sighed. "Have you become a chatterbox from spending too much time with the Joker?"

Batman shrugged. "Maybe a little, but that's not important. What's important is..."

"You! Bruce Yu!"

"You're the last criminal in Gotham who hasn't been brought to justice! Since you've turned yourself in today, I'll give you a two-hundred-year sentence!"

"Oh, by the way! By the way, everyone else gets a thousand years."

As Batman spoke, he slowly stood up, first pressing a button. As a cage descended from the sky, he showed the emaciated Penguin inside. Then he pressed another button, and a projector appeared in the hall.

"I have personally walked this great road, but I also want others to know how great I am. So, are you ready to watch a movie?"

Before Bruce Willis could refuse, Batman pressed the remote control button.

Inside the Batcave, Bruce Wayne only showed Alfred his back.

Alfred, holding his coffee, sighed, "Are you researching how to guard against those Superhero again? Look at the hero in this photo, he looks like a child."

"This is a necessary precaution!" He turned off the screen, the lingering blue light in the shadows illuminating the bloodshot in his eyes. "Barry will not betray justice. But the Speed Force will!"

Barry's pupils were stained silver-white by the lightning of the Speed Force, and he roared in the cage, "Batman!!! Do you know the consequences of forcibly stripping the Speed Force away?!"

"The consequence is that you will never have to bear it again." Batman activated the device on his chest, and the crimson Speed Force, like blood drawn by a magnet, was drawn from the Flash's body and poured into a receiver that Bruce had pre-planted.

As the last glimmer of Golden Light disappeared from the tip of the device, Barry collapsed to the ground, his white hair turning gray at a visible speed.

"Now," he looked down at his hands, which were wreathed in red light, "It's my turn to define the speed of justice."

After the movie finished, Batman looked at Bruce Yu and asked, "How was it?"

"Not good at all, it's embarrassing to watch." Bruce Yu bluntly said, "Your acting is terrible, especially your Copy of the Joker's madness. If you were really crazy, you should cut off your own kidneys and roast them instead of torturing these criminals."

"Hmm, that makes some sense. But Bruce Yu, you know what? The first time I saw you, I felt like you were a Robin who used to be by my side."

"Unfortunately, he is dead."

"He died at the hands of Anatoly Nikolayev."

"Oh, by the way, you also look a lot like that guy who died by the Scarecrow gun. You are so righteous and cute."

Bruce Yu exhaled a breath of stale air. "I don't know how you came up with the word 'cute.' Alright, I'm not going to listen to your nonsense. I'm here today with only one request."

"Torture me."

"Let my willpower conquer this world!"

Batman raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you've gone mad too."

Bruce Yu chuckled. "Yeah, that's right. I went crazy after you. When I found out you kidnapped Jack, I realized we all had to go crazy! Only utter madness can change the world!"

Batman's eyes lit up. "Alright! I'll let you use Scarecrow's gadgets first."

Bruce Yu muttered to himself, "I hope to experience what Pirate World Fang Yu went through."

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the three finally reached the summit.

Li Yingqi looked at Zhao Yingkong and Fang Yu behind him and explained, "The Mount Wutai Sect has a protective array. If they hadn't opened it up on their own initiative, anyone coming to Wutai would have to climb the mountain. Otherwise, no matter how they fly, they wouldn't be able to reach the correct location of the sect."

The Main God Fang Yu nodded. "Yes, thank you for your hard work. So, have you figured out how you're going to help me steal the secret manual?"

"Although it is very immoral to do this, for Master Zunsheng, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. I am prepared to be taken hostage by you."

"Thank you. As long as I can get the method to use the Great Luo Buddha Hands, I'm willing to let you be held hostage, or even let you hold me hostage."

Li Yingqi shook his head helplessly. After walking about nine steps ahead, he said to Fang Yu behind him, "Prepare to pay respects to the sect."
