Chapter 1550: The Joker VS the Dark Knight

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bang!

The muffled sound shocked the 36 SHIELD members on the tower.

From the soun4, it was clear that it had been a terrifyingly powerful kick, but in the end, the Dark Knight and the Joker flew off the top of the tower together.

‘The Joker laughed wildly in the night sky and let loose a litany of weird and fake exclamations at the same time. “Ah, what tough armor… Oh, this kick feels good… Ouch, my leg almost broke…”

Anyone would think that he was at a disadvantage.

In reality, the two figures, one black and one purple, were fighting fiercely in the air. The bangs of their collisions could still be heard clearly despite their distance from the top of the tower.

Everybody in SHIELD realized that the Dark Knight was very strong, stronger than they had expected, but the terrifying Joker wasn’t beaten back.

In the face of the Dark Knight in armor, not only wasn’t he instantly defeated, he wasn’t even beaten back.

‘The two figures were tangled up the entire time. Just like that, they flew off into the distance.

F*ck! The two teams on the tower cursed inwardly as they despaired.

At that moment, the countdown ended in their earpieces. “…3, 2, 1! Lift off!”

With a metallic clang and the sound of something being fired, the 18 special guests on the left were launched out in their seats, while the 18 special guests on the right slid down toward the Hudson River.

One side was like a fairy scattering flowers, while the other was like a mountain pressing down.

At the same time, the battle between the Dark Knight and the Joker finally ended.

The man in the purple suit fell like a cannonball from almost 100 meters in the sky and crashed into the Hudson River with a loud bang, creating a fountain of water seven to eight meters high.

‘The Dark Knight didn’t chase after the Joker. Instead, he turned around and quickly lunged at the falling benches as he threw out two grappling hooks.

The grappling hooks latched onto the metal frames under the long benches. At the same time, the Dark Knight flew toward the Brooklyn Bridge to fix the grappling hooks to the bridge.

Seeing him approach, everybody from SHIELD held their breaths. However, the figure in the purple suit shot out like a ghost from the shadows under the bridge and wrapped himself around the Dark Knight.

“OMG!”

“Bullsh*t!”

“How did he get there?”

“Is it an accomplice?”

Then, several expert image analysts said in unison, “It’s the Joker himself. His injuries match the earlier fight.”

Everybody in SHIELD instantly understood.

‘They were watching the broadcast on the Joker’s cameras.

‘When the Joker was thrown into the river by the Dark Knight, the focus of the video naturally shifted to the Dark Knight, and Joker left everyone’s line of sight.

The cameras switched to “the protagonist.” Everybody subconsciously thought that the Joker had been “defeated,” or had at least been temporarily “beaten back.”

Could it be that the Joker deliberately let himself be thrown into the river? Several people thought of this possibility, and their expressions turned ugly. At the same time, they urged the rescue teams to hurry up.

The best solution now was for the rescue teams to arrive and tie up the Joker so that the Dark Knight could think of a way to save the two teams that had fallen into the water.

‘The Joker was once again entangled with the Dark Knight.

He had a death grip on the Dark Knight’s suit as he resisted the latter’s punches and kicks.

‘Tangled together in the air, they hit the bridge like a huge ball.

‘The Dark Knight was dragged across the bridge by the benches hanging from his grappling hooks, his suit kicking up sparks.

Joker, on the other hand, laughed wildly as he pressed down on Dark Knight. “Hahahaha, you’re too weak! You’re not Batman. Batman would just break all my bones and throw me to the police. You can’t do it, you can’t do it, hahahaha!”

‘The Dark Knight didn’t say anything, but everybody in SHIELD HQ felt chills run down their spines as they watched the battle.

At that moment, the Dark Knight’s punches and kicks were like a storm as they landed on the Joker, but the latter twisted his body to avoid most of them while he endured the rest of the blows.

Those with sharp eyes could even see the blood that sprayed out of the Joker’s mouth, dyeing half his face red.

Nobody thought that the Dark Knight was bad. Instead, they all knew that he was strong, even though the Joker kept mocking this “successor of Batman’s.”

Captain Rumlow would probably be killed if he went up against this series of attacks.

But the opponent this time was a complete lunatic, and a terrifying one at that.

Just like that, the two of them tangled together as they were dragged across the bridge to the guardrail.

Another grappling hook shot out. It was the Dark Knight, who wanted to secure the benches to the railing for now.

In the end, an object that glowed with a yellow light appeared and exploded again.

Both of them were blown away from the guardrail by the shock wave, and fell toward the river.

“Kid, you’re too green. Come and cool down with me. Hahahahaha!” The Joker laughed wildly as the two figures rolled and fell into the Hudson River.

At SHIELD HQ, many people felt powerless.

But someone suddenly shouted, “Wait, look at the river.”

Everybody immediately noticed the muddy water churning more and more violently, like in a movie where super monsters were fighting underwater.

Aseries of bangs rang out as huge pillars of water shot out. It was clear that there had been multiple explosions underwater.

A large mass of water surged up in the northeast direction.

Many people opened their mouths, but didn’t know what to say.

Under normal circumstances, once a battle entered the water, it was over.

‘The underwater environment was very unsuitable for human combat. The stronger one was, the more restricted they were in the water.

Two monsters! Many people subconsciously had that thought.

‘The Joker, in particular, was crazy. He wasn’t wearing any armor at all, but was able to cause such a stir in the water with the Dark Knight, who was suited up. This was completely beyond SHIELD’s expectations.

Amoment later, two helicopters from SHIELD’s New York branch arrived.

‘A dozen fully-armed rescuers dropped quickly from the helicopters. Some of them dropped into the water, released inflatable motorboats and started searching the river.

The two helicopters hovered above the river, their searchlights trained on the water.

At that moment, something huge broke the surface of the river.

Stunned for a moment, the people at HQ then exclaimed, “Quick, save them! It’s the second team!”

‘The boat quickly turned and went over to the chairs that had just floated to the river surface.

‘There was a huge inflatable layer under the chairs.

Although the 18 people were spitting up water, they were clearly still alive.

Cries for reinforcements rang out from the rescue team on the motorboat. At the same time, they pulled the chairs toward the river bank by the grappling hook.

A moment later, a shadow flew out of the water.

The helicopters immediately noticed and the searchlights followed.
