Chapter 1017 Joker Falls into Big Trouble (Part 2)_2

"I need the wounds brought on by weakness and injury for fusion, yet I cannot let the soul activity drop too low. Both sides must always remain in an excited state, otherwise, even if the fusion is complete, the intensity won't increase."

"And in order to increase the soul activity, we both need to be in an excited state. Hence, I used guilt, roped in Batman, and kept him constantly stimulating Joker. This maintained the soul activity on his end."

"And you, how were you planning to do it? How were you planning to stimulate your own soul activity? And ensure that you maintain a dominant position during the fusion?" Superego asked Shiller.

"I wasn't planning to do anything." What surprised Superego was DC Shiller's response. He shook his head, saying, "In any case, you would never let Joker take the lead. During the fusion, if his strength surpasses mine, you will definitely save me. This is your ticket to the show."

Superego covered his forehead, saying, "I should have instantly closed the gate when you jumped in, letting you fall flat on your face. That would have made the situation much more awkward. That's the price for you trying to use me."

"You're just a rule, and I simply exploit the rule. The rise of the Joker persona contradicts everyone's interests. That's the fundamental reason why I dared to initiate fusion. One way or another, you won't let me lose." DC Shiller gave a faint smile.

"I think your friends are right," Superego leaned against the railing, looking at DC Shiller, "You're always good at devising schemes, using your friends, and arbitrarily arranging rewards for them."

"You're wrong." DC Shiller shook his head saying, "Because I didn't prepare any reward for you."

Superego took a deep breath, staring into DC Shiller's eyes, "I know, you're deliberately provoking me. I can imprison you. If I lock you up, you naturally won't have to face them. But let me just say this, keep dreaming."

"I think you've recovered enough. Get up there and start working! Didn't you hear the noise just now? There was a huge explosion around you, and now you're powerless to resist and don't even know who took you where…" Superego turned and wanted to leave.

But at this moment, Arrogant Shiller looked up at the High Tower, asking, "The mysterious power you used to split us into two, what exactly was it?"

Superego paused, then he said, "So, your true objective lies here."

"I said, why are you in such a hurry to start the fusion, and your whole plan has been stumbling, not smooth at all. Seems like you're trying to kill Cao Cao under the pretext of practising sword."

"When you started the fusion, you brought in Batman, constantly stimulating the soul activity of Joker, putting yourself at a disadvantage. You knew very well that I would not just stand by. At the last moment, I would definitely reach out with that kind of power to save you, then you would know the truth."

"This plan of yours doesn't aim at Batman, nor Constantine, not even the other half contaminated by Joker's virus. Your ultimate goal is to trick me into taking action."

Superego and DC Shiller faced each other. When their eyes met, sparks flew.

"Don't forget, you are the collective will of all our personalities, including me. You should not hide anything from me. And the reason I haven't asked for so long…"

DC Shiller stepped forward, tilted his head, and looked into Superego's eyes, "Is because, if I found out, the Joker, who shares the same origin as me, would also know. He is not one of us, he only cares about Batman. In order to keep our secrets, I had to curb my own curiosity."

"Although those idiots eventually stimulated me, causing my soul activity to be too high, evenly matching the Joker, leading to a too smooth fusion process that failed to trick you into action, you should reveal the truth now, right?"

Having said that, DC Shiller looked up at the High Tower again, "You thought I forgot? When we first came here, this tower didn't look like this."

"When our complete ego fell from above, it shattered. This tower was glued together with the fragments. All the while, our Tower of Thought was filled with countless wounds. A porcelain piece glued together with fragments could never be the same as the original."

"The moment we arrived here and regained consciousness, I was the first to wake up. Back then, I saw that the ceiling was still full of cracks, but those familiar cracks soon disappeared."

"I was one of the original sin personas, and before we were split into two, I was the strongest original sin persona. No other persona would wake up earlier than me."

"And if someone woke up before me and fixed the tower, it could only have been the collective will of the personas, which is you, Superego."

DC Shiller stared into Superego's eyes, "I guess, the mysterious power you used to repair the entire tower, and the power you used to split me into two, they must be the same. Now, answer me, what is it?"

Superego, standing in place, fell silent for a moment. But the DC Shiller in front of him was no longer the easily controlled personality fragment he once was when they were split. As he said, the arrogant full persona is the most powerful personality fragment, unrivalled.
