"System, aren't you going to expin this to me?"

  At this moment, Reid stood in front of the mirror, his new abilities. At the same time, his hands kept moving, mixing various chemical substances provided by Wayerprises, cog something.

  His face, or rather, his appearance, ged every sed.

  In one moment, he was the elegant British gentleman, Alfred. The , he had bee the embodiment of Gotham's madness, the Joker.

  Initially, Reid had thought that Alfred's character card had been pletely ruined by him and transformed into the Joker's card. But after trying a bit, he realized that his appearance could ge freely.

  Rather than saying the Joker had repced Alfred, it was more accurate to say that the Joker and Alfred had merged together.

  That also saved him the trouble of making a face mask from human skin.

  Still, Reid felt that he needed more expnation from the system.

  He had said so much earlier, trying to unicate with the system, but it had replied that there was nothing it could do except increase his ag skill, with no way to obtain new character cards.

  And what was the result?

  After experimenting, although he hadn't obtained a new character card, he had successfully evolved a normal card into an SSR.

  Although still an ordinary person, the Joker was on a pletely different level pared to Alfred.

  Fet about Dionesium, that miraculous thing that bring a person back to life—just the Joker's owion, the Joker iion, which was born from his resear ughing gas, made him a far more dangerous entity.

  Anyone ied with the Joker iion would bee a new version of the Joker. Even Batman wouldn't be able to avoid it. After being ied with the virus from the Joker's most powerful heart, Batman himself transformed into The Batman Who Laughs.

  Moreover, because of the knowledge he had gained from the Joker, Reid learhe location of the underground Dionesium pool in Gotham. If he could take trol of this pd researd utilize the Dionesium, it would mean he had already quered half of this Marvel world.

  The other half would depend on when he mao draw Superman or Doanhattan's cards.

  [Eh~~]

  The system let out a sigh, and Reid raised an eyebrow. Finally, the system's voice was no longer emotionless. It seemed his as had a signifit impa it?

  [Here's the thing, host: the system holds all the bodies and souls of the entire Diverse.]

  This statement genuinely startled Reid.

  He had thought about how the system provided him with character cards, but he never imagi was this simple.

  "Did your previous host take the entire Diverse with them?"

  The system naturally didn't ahat question.

  [Regarding the in of the system, I'm sorry, I ot answer you at this time.]

  [tinuing from earlier, the system holds the bodies and souls of the entire Diverse. Those useless and weak souls will transform into enviro cards along with the surrounding enviro, while the powerful souls and bodies will individually bee character cards for the host to py.]

  [As long as you a accordah the will of the soul, it will trigger the power within the card, and the card will use this power tthen your body until all the power is fully trolled by you.]

  [However, while you are ag, the cards do not possess their own sciousness. But within the system space, powerful souls retain a certain level of awareness. They ot think, but they be attracted by certain as of yours.]

  [Alfred's soul didn't want to bee the Joker. So, when you harmed yourself, your performance dropped drastically. But ultimately, Alfred had the potential to bee the Joker, and your as attracted the soul of a younger Joker within the system. As a result, the Joker's soul lost trol, merging with Alfred's body and card to bee what it is now.]

  [Please, host, never do such things again. The detat of a soul from the system is aremely dangerous matter.]

  When the system said that st sentes tone even carried a hint of pleading.

  However, Reid certainly wasn't feeling sorry for the system. What mattered to him was only ohing: survivier in this world.

  Raising his hand, Reid took out the ughing gas he had just made and sprayed the green gas at the system pahat only he could see.

  The green gas naturally didn't affect the intangible system panel and passed right through it.

  "Hahahaha!"

  Whether it was because of the ughing gas or just Reid's own desire to ugh, he burst out ughing.

  "You're dreaming, system! Either you erase me now, or I will use every possible opportunity to grow stronger. You have your rules, but those rules—I won't follow them quietly. You better be prepared!"

  With that, Reid waved his hand to close the system, grabbed the newly made ughing gas, auro the basement.

  Deep within Reid's sciousness, a human-like face suddenly appeared in the system.

  [Still as troublesome as ever...]

  ......

  Iure Batcave, now turned into the Joker's ir.

  Using Alfred's position as Wayne family's butler, Reid had gathered a lot of materials. Now, he was using the Joker's abilities to create some new equipment.

  The equipment used by Joker in the ics was simple, but that was just its appearance. In reality, it was highly effective. Whether it was traps or bombs, they could be used precisely as pnned by Joker.

  Now, with the support of Wayne Manor, the equipment Reid created was naturally going to be much better.

  However, while preparing for his pns, Reid also realized some things were not going smoothly.

  Firstly, the Alfred card now had two py degrees: one belonging to Alfred and the other to the Joker.

  Alfred's py degree hadn't ged much. It had reset to zero, with the rewards and tasks identical to before, tinuing his role in managing Wayerprises and maintaining his outsider form.

  But the Joker's py degree was different. There were no form rewards along the way, but the character mission was especially absurd.

  "Overthrow this world..."

  That was something only Joker would e up with.

  Clearly, this was a task that couldn't be pleted right now. Without the power of the great itities, how could anyone overthrow the Marvel world?

  "The only good news is that Joker's py degree is now maxed out. Even without using the card, I now have all of Joker's abilities. But sidering the effects of the Joker Venom..."

  Reid silently made up his mind: he would absolutely not use his own body, Reid, to create ughing gas. Absolutely not! He didn't want to turn into The Reid Who Laughs.

  Just imagine—if iure, after acquiring the abilities of Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Fsh, Batman, and Superman, Reid's body were suddenly ied by the Joker Venom...

  Reid only fantasized for a moment, and a vivid image appeared in his mind.

  That image was of a spherical representation of the Marvel world, suddenly boom... exploding.
