Harley Quinn never expected that the current Joker couldn't even dodge such a sneak attack.
And although the Symbiote Carnage's attack power and recovery were much stronger than imagined,
his defense was too poor.
Harley Quinn even heard the sound of an egg cracking.
Carnage was completely enraged by Harley Quinn's blow, and then pounced fiercely on her.
However, a Symbiote separated from its host would still have its strength discounted.
So Harley barely dodged, but she didn't forget to complain.
"I told you, I hate these slime monsters the most!"
"Hey! I'm also a Symbiote! The 'slime monster' you're talking about!"
"Can you not be so proud at a time like this!?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Harley immediately darted into a nearby fork.
Venom extended several Symbiote tentacles, moving rapidly like Tarzan.
But Carnage...
did not continue the pursuit.
Instead, he returned to the Joker's side.
"Damn it! Are you useless or not?!"
"...If you want to devour more, you'd best listen to me."
The Joker struggled to his feet, then held out his hand, gesturing for Carnage to come back quickly.
"Tsk, you'd better keep your word."
"Of course... that organization called the Federal Bureau of Investigation has countless good things for you to devour."
"In this world, as long as that guy carrying the White Lantern isn't around, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is my easy prey!"
Carnage's bold words had just left his mouth when the top of the sewer suddenly exploded.
"To be honest, I envy your confidence. I don't even know how cheerful a big boy I would be if I could be as confident as you."
The Joker looked up. In the smoke and dust, a man shrouded in three colors of light floated high in the air.
He was like a high and mighty God.
"Did you find them, Dante?"
Skye's voice came from Dante's communicator.
His eyes were fixed on the Carnage Joker in front of him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Found them, Skye. Your thinking is becoming more and more open now. You are indeed a born FBI agent."
"Alright, thanks for the compliment." Skye's voice carried a hint of pride. "Next, that madman will know what pain is."
Dante smiled and then cut off the call.
Originally, he hadn't found them, and even thought that if it really didn't work, he would transform into Ion Man to find people.
But Skye immediately thought of something.
"Will Carnage and the Joker continue to hunt Venom and Harley Quinn?"
"It looks like it." Dante nodded. "We don't have a Symbiote, so we can't locate this kind of creature."
"Why locate the Symbiote? Wouldn't it be better to locate Adamantium?" Skye said, operating on her personal terminal. "Adamantium has a special vibration frequency. Through the Federal Bureau of Investigation's satellite, we can completely locate the Adamantium."
Dante was stunned for a moment.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!?"
"At first, we hadn't confirmed Harley Quinn's general location!"
And then...
Dante arrived.
It must be said that sometimes he felt that his brain was indeed not as good as the professionals around him.
Perhaps even if he one day gained Brainiac's super intelligence, it would tell him,
"Of course, just charge through with your super strength~"
But the Joker looked at him with an incredulous expression.
"You... aren't you just a normal person?"
Dante almost couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the Joker's voice.
"It seems that after you were rescued from Batman's prison, the Extreme Speedster took you away from this era. Is your impression of me still stuck at the time I shot you?"
"As for your allies... it seems you're not even on the same page. They haven't even told you about my situation."
When the Joker was always behind the scenes, that omnipresent sense of fear was incredibly tormenting.
But when he could only stand in front and confront him directly...
it was rather relaxing.
He even felt...
He was really weak.
"Alright, my dear Joker, no matter what, we are old acquaintances."
"Hand over this Symbiote on you to me obediently, and then I'll accompany you to have a candlelight dinner with Batman, and then let him lock you back in that prison, completely locking you two up. How about it?"
The Joker raised his head, and his insane smile reappeared.
"What is the secret to a great comedy?"
"It's timing."
"So what is courage?"
"It's maintaining elegance under pressure."
Dante shook his head.
"In that case, I'll take it as you refusing to yield."
After he finished speaking, the three lights shone brightly.
Nearly infinite red, orange, and green lights began to merge and expand.
Then they materialized.
A six-armed Buddha appeared before the Joker.
"Those who obstruct me will be destroyed!"
...
"Venom, did I just hear my Pudding's voice?"
"Pudding? Are you still thinking about eating now!? Escaping is the most important thing!"
"Forget it, what am I talking about with a piece of mud that has given birth but never been in love?"
Harley continued to flee forward as she spoke.
"Buzz!"
A sudden buzzing sound filled her ears, and Harley abruptly stopped, turning her head.
Then she saw a person in silver-black armor pass through the wall by high-speed vibration.
"What the f..." Before Harley could finish her F-word, she saw the mecha kneel on both knees, hands on the ground, and then its back slowly opened.
Someone Harley didn't expect appeared before her.
"Harley Quinn, I need your help."
"Wow, Barry Allen? This thing of yours is really cool." Harley pointed to the armor, but when she saw Barry's face, she forced herself to swallow her next sentence.
Because she saw the scar on his face, like a curse.
"You... you're not the Barry I know." Harley frowned. At this moment, she also noticed some differences. This Barry was clearly more mature.
And not the slow young man in the Base.
"No, Doctor Quinzell, I am the Barry you know... it's just that I'm from the future."
"Motherf*ck... what's wrong today? Why did you guys, the future people, collectively come back to this year? For a team-building event?"
Future Barry shook his head.
"I came to save this World."
"Save the World? Isn't this World fine? You can't possibly make the whole World go crazy just because there's a scumbag like the Joker, can you?"
Harley had had enough of time travelers these past two days.
These guys seemed even crazier than herself.
But Future Barry anxiously stepped forward, pointing at her.
"Doctor Quinzell, if you don't help me, then you will die today."
"And then... Dante will destroy the entire World."
