In the dangerous streets of Gotham city, Amanda Waller, the leader of A.R.G.U.S., has brought together a team of infamous criminals for a special assignment. This team includes Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, and King Shark.
These DC Super-Villains find themselves in a fascinating otherworldly realm that is intricately linked to our own through a mysterious gate.
Welcome to a fantastical realm filled with swords and magic, where fearsome orcs roam and majestic dragons soar through the skies—an incredible “ISEKAI” adventure awaits! Harley and the others find themselves caught up in a chaotic situation after being transported to ISEKAI. Unfortunately, their journey takes a turn for the worse when they are apprehended by the Kingdom’s soldiers and subsequently imprisoned.
They have a limited amount of time before the bomb on their neck detonates.
The deadline is quickly approaching. Following discussions with Queen Aldora, the requirement for our freedom was to defeat the hostile Imperial army.
They willingly embrace the challenge of diving into the front line of battle.
They run; they perish. They don’t come out victorious; they meet their demise.
