Becoming the Strongest as a Game Dev Ch 10

Ruby watched as the nearby monitors lit up, revealing Harley in her new outfit. "Can you hear me? Is this thing on? Oh, hiya, B-man! Harley Quinn here. How do you like my new uniform? Pretty hot, huh?"

Ruby's initial reaction was to raise an eyebrow at Harley's bold appearance. In the chat, the male viewers were clearly smitten with Harley's look, showering her with compliments.

[ThirstyGamer69]: "Damn, Harley's lookin' fine as hell!"

[IcyKnight]: "Gotta admit, that outfit is workin' for her."

Meanwhile, the few female viewers expressed their disgust at the men's reactions, feeling disappointed by their enthusiasm.

[GamerGirl101]: "Ugh, really guys? Can we not objectify her for once?"

[LadyLoki]: "I expected better from you all. This is just sad."

Ruby sighed, shaking her head slightly. She couldn't help but feel a bit irritated by the chat's response, but she knew better than to engage with the more problematic viewers. Instead, she focused her attention back on the screen, where Harley continued her playful banter.

Ruby watched as the monitor flickered, revealing Harley's mischievous grin. "I got something to show you. One second, B-man," she said, disappearing from the screen.

Ruby leaned forward, her brow furrowing in concern as Harley reappeared, dragging a bound and gagged Warden Sharp into view. "Ta-da! I'm now taking over for the old man. Old Sharpie's never been happier! In case you haven't figured it out, today's the Joker's big homecoming, and you're the guest of honor."

Ruby's eyes widened as she realized the gravity of the situation. She could feel the tension building in the simulation, and she knew that Batman would have to act quickly to regain control.

"You have one chance to surrender, Quinn," Batman's gruff voice echoed through the speakers.

"Tempting, Bats, but no dice. Now the inmates are running the asylum. Well, technically they're Joker's goons shipped in from Blackgate, but you get the idea. Bye bye for now!" Harley declared, before smashing the camera with her bat, cutting off the feed.

Ruby sat back, her heart racing. She knew that the Joker's plans were in motion, and she, as Batman, would have to confront the chaos that was unfolding within Arkham Asylum.

Ruby scanned the chat, shaking her head at the flood of thirsty comments from her viewers. She couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, though not entirely surprised. Harley Quinn, with her bold and provocative appearance, had clearly captured the attention of many of her predominantly male audience.

Despite her initial irritation, Ruby couldn't deny that Harley's look was eye-catching, even if the reasons behind the viewers' reactions were somewhat superficial. She sighed, knowing that she would have to steer the conversation in a more constructive direction if she wanted to avoid further objectification.

Ruby pushed forward through the Asylum, crawling through vent shafts to make her way. Her focus was unwavering as she navigated the twisting corridors, determined to confront the chaos that had consumed the once secure institution.

As she moved stealthily through the vents, Ruby spotted a group of guards trapped in a room filled with a noxious green gas. Recognizing the telltale signs of Joker Toxin, she knew she had to act quickly to save them.

Dropping down from the vent, Ruby assessed the situation, her mind racing. She grabbed a Batarang on her utility belt, she knew what she had to do. With precision and skill, she launched the projectile, striking an Extractor Control Point terminal. Instantly, the extraction fans whirred to life, clearing the toxic gas from the room.

The guards, coughing and disoriented, looked up at her in awe. "Batman..." one of them croaked, their eyes widening in relief.

Ruby offered them a curt nod, her expression grim. There was no time to waste - the Joker's schemes were unfolding, and she had to stop him before more lives were put at risk.

Ruby's heart pounded as she stepped through the metal door, her eyes immediately drawn to the towering figure of the Joker standing atop a transport cell. She tightened her grip on the Batarang, her muscles tensing in preparation.

"What took you so long?" the Joker taunted, his grin widening.

Without hesitation, Ruby hurled the Batarang towards the Joker, but the villain deftly ducked, evading the projectile. "There's no escape, Joker. I will find you," she growled, her voice deepened to match Batman's signature gravel.

"I'm counting on it. Just not yet!" the Joker replied, his eyes gleaming with malicious delight.

Suddenly, the cell beneath the Joker's feet opened, revealing a monstrous figure that sent a chill down Ruby's spine. "Oooh, He's a big one," the Joker cackled, gesturing to the hulking Venom Henchman that now stood before her.

Ruby's eyes widened as she took in the Venom Henchman's towering, distorted form. Its right arm and left leg were grotesquely enlarged, and its spine protruded unnaturally, giving it a menacing, inhuman appearance. She knew she would have to rely on all of Batman's skills and gadgets to take down this formidable foe.

Ruby's eyes narrowed as she studied the Venom Henchman, assessing its weaknesses. She knew she would need to use all of Batman's skills and gadgets to take down this formidable foe.

In the chat, the viewers reacted with a mix of awe and trepidation:

[MuscleManiac]: "Whoa, that thing is HUGE! Batman's gonna have his hands full with that one."

[GamerGirl101]: "Oh no, this doesn't look good. Scarlet's gotta be really careful."

[XxEdgeLordxX]: "Finally, some real action! Let's see how Scarlet handles this beast."

[LadyLoki]: "I hope Ruby can take that thing down without too much trouble. She's got this!"

Ruby took a deep breath, readying her Batarangs as she prepared to face the monstrous Venom Henchman head-on.

Ruby threw the Batarang, but it bounced off the Venom Henchman's thick, mutated skin without causing any significant damage. The hulking figure let out a guttural roar and charged towards her, its massive fist swinging with incredible force.

Ruby's eyes widened as the Venom Henchman's strike connected, sending her hurtling through the air. She braced herself for the impact, crashing into the wall with a painful thud. Dazed, she realized this was going to be a much more challenging battle than she had anticipated.

Pushing past the ache, Ruby quickly assessed the situation, her mind racing to devise a new strategy. She knew she would need to utilize all of Batman's skills and gadgets to take down this formidable foe.
