131 Gamble!

"I never thought I would see you here Joker!" I said to the Clown Man. He was none other than Joker from the DC world. This Insane Man, but at the same time at the peak of the Sanity, was a genius. He was a mastermind, can even put Batman in desperate situations. Now he had the strongest system and probably cleaned all DC universe with the System. How could he be weak?

"Do you know him?" Crow asked.

'I do. He is one of my favorite characters. In DC universe he is a villain, a mastermind fights with Batman all the time. His genius is over the chart, and even though he appears to be a mortal, he has too many powers. With the strongest system, he should have already acquired way too power at the moment. Just the power of the Superman is enough to suppress all of these champions. And if he somehow acquired god level existence's powers, he should be invincible.' I summarised my knowledge about Joker.

Fortunately, I had plenty of information about Joker. I knew his weakness. His greatest weakness.

"Do you know me?" Joker surprised. He was the character of his own universe. Even though at some point he broke the fourth wall, he shouldn't be aware I was from the Earth.

"I do. And I can help you fulfill your greatest desire." I said while smiling. I had a plan in mind, as soon as I heard his Systems name. Even though that old damn God created a system this powerful, there should be a weakness in it, right? How could it be foolproof?

"Oh, what is my greatest desire?" Joker curiously asked as he brought the knife in his hand to my face. A smile bloomed on his face.

"I can help you bring Batman to this world, with his level of power close to yours. All you have to is, stay away from me in the future." I said with the biggest smile. His face froze for a second, then smiled widely. Joker was mastermind and clown. His greatest desire was creating trouble for Batman, and he was enjoying while doing it. But as he said more than once, without each of them, neither would mean. Joker needed Batman, and Batman needed Joker to exist. They were two sides of the coin, yin and yang. They completed each other.

"The Pendant of Imagination. How convenient. I always wanted that particular item. But why I to agree with your conditions? I can steal it from you with a thought of mine, what will you do then?" Joker looked at me dangerously. As he stated, he could just steal it from me, and he had the power to suppress me, while he needed to agree to my conditions? But, even though I wasn't a mastermind, I had a working brain, and sometimes it was creating wonders.

"I am willing the share the Pendant of the Imagination with you." as soon as I said this sentence, the killing intent rose from Joker. He looked others around us and he actually killed them immediately. Even Freya died in front of me all of a sudden, and this alone was enough to show me how strong Joker was. His power was many times stronger than mine.

"How do you know my systems weakness?" he looked me with killing intent to. His face didn't even budge when he killed his companions, all he thought at the moment was, to hide his weakness.

"I didn't. Now I know." This was a gamble I chose to play, and I actually won. There couldn't be invincible System. It was just too overpowered, when I thought about it, I remembered about what Fatty said about his system. As long as the other party was willing, he could share everything with them, but if the other party wasn't willing to, he couldn't just 'steal' from them. At that point, it dawned to me. These two systems were opposite each other. In that case, as long as I was willing to share, the Stealing System couldn't steal. This was the Joker's greatest secret, and he even killed other 6 champions to hid this fact from others.

"I am going to kill you, and this information will be buried." Joker started to walk to me.

"Oh, is that so? Then the system you wanted to steal for your master, and the pendant will be lost forever." I said without a change in my face. There was no way for me to win against Joker at the moment, I was one of the weakest among all Champions, with the power of four Worlds alone. How could I fight against Joker? All I could do was find my way out of this situation at the moment, and if, if only things go as I planned, I would be invincible. But dealing with Joker wasn't so easy.

"What do you want?" asked Joker.

"I don't need my system anymore, I already used it to the maximum, and I can give it to you. I don't have any hope regarding the Championship anyway. And I can give the pendant to you, but I want something from you too." I said, without moving an extra muscle on my face, I needed to accomplish this at this moment.

"What do you want?" asked Joker with curiosity. He really wanted the Pendant, because he wanted to create Batman.

"I need you to take a trip with me. To a place only I can go, and other than me, and the ones I allowed no one else can go, even Gods are unable to find that place, or go there." I said and a pendant on my necklace shined, as Joker made a move to grab it, but it disappeared in the Storage at that moment.

'Did you handle the thing?' I asked the Pendant.

"All ready. We are waiting for the next stage, but are you sure it will work?" a voice came from the pendant.

"I am not. But at this moment, this is the only thing I can do. Either we will succeed, or we will lose everything we have. But who could have thought, the little piece of that power would give me this chance today. I guess I have to thank that Damn Fatty later on." I smiled as I turned to the Joker. This was my greatest gamble. And if I couldn't a success, what waiting for me was life worse than death.
