Chapter 244: Wonder Girl, Titan Power
Pictured: Donna Troy.
"Wonder Girl?"
Aaron looked at the newly appeared girl with slight surprise.
Artemis looked over in surprise: "Wonder Girl? You know her? Isn't her name Donna Troy?"
"In a way, yes."
Aaron remembered that Donna had briefly appeared in the Titan team, essentially a weaker, duplicate version of Wonder Woman.
The rope in her hand was a Magic Lasso, possessing abilities similar to the Lasso of Truth. Whether it had the truth-compelling property was unclear.
"Is she also an Amazon Warrior?"
Artemis nodded, "Donna is a mixed-blood Amazon Warrior. I don't know who her parents are, but she is the leader of the newest generation."
"She possesses fighting skills second only to Diana, Antiope, and me. In terms of physical fitness, she is even above me."
Aaron listened while observing Donna.
From her, Aaron sensed a strange yet familiar power.
It was divine power from the same origin as the DC ancient gods, different from the ancient gods, but equally powerful.
Recalling his memories from before crossing over, Aaronguessed that the divine power "927" within Donna came from the Titan.
It was said that Donna was originally a copycat Wonder Woman created by the Titan Gods from clay, in imitation of Diana's birth.
They intended for Donna to replace Diana, even contend with Diana for the throne, and kill her.
For this, they also bestowed Donna with various Titan powers and crafted a set of divine equipment similar to the Six Godly Artifacts.
However, what the Titan didn't expect was that,
Even though Donna and Diana were competitors on the same path, Donna not only didn't resent Diana but was proud of her, transforming into a Superhero.
This thwarted the Titans' plans.
Thinking of this, Aaron became interested.
He had thought there was no one on Themyscira he valued besides Diana and Artemis, but it turned out Donna was hidden there.
Donna noticed Aaron's gaze, seemed to sense something, and looked over. Upon realizing it was Aaron, her cheeks suddenly flushed.
Donna nervously turned away. She, who could remain calm under the gaze of thousands, trembled nervously due to Aaron's attention.
This wasn't fear, it was excitement.
Donna viewed Diana as an idol, and she subconsciously copied Diana's experiences.
Aaron was Diana's man, which made Donnasubconsciously develop certain special feelings for Aaron.
Especially since Aaron was truly handsome!
Before,
Donna dared not express her thoughts, hiding among countless Amazon women, becoming a foil, watching Aaron and Diana.
But now, Donna had awaited an opportunity to shine.
As long as she could defeat this guy in front of her,
Perhaps she could follow in her idol's footsteps!
"Come on, Donna!"
After secretly cheering herself on,
Donna, holding the lasso, sternly said, "Kneel, invader, and immediately cease your wicked deeds!"
Donna's voice seemed to carry some unknown magic. With the lasso's enhancement, it almost shook The Firstborn's mind.
This was her Persuasion Lasso, which, when activated, turned silver, contrasting with Diana's golden lasso. If the bound person's willpower was weaker than Donna's, they would act according to her demands.
However, The Firstborn's willpower was extremely strong.
For revenge, he endured the whispers and taunts of the Titan Gods, spending a thousand years climbing out of the Earth's core.
How could such a determined individual be compared to Donna, a flower in a greenhouse?
The Firstborn was only dazed for an instant before breaking free from the Persuasion Lasso's effect and forcibly flinging Donna away with brute strength.
"Nice show, but your will is too weak. Is this all a so-called demigod is capable of?"
The Firstborn laughed wildly. He suddenly remembered something and came back to his senses.
What he said next sparked anger and outrage from everyone.
"You are Donna Troy? The spy the Titan deliberately left on Themyscira?"
"Little girl, I represent the will of the Titan. Now, you can return to our embrace."
Hippolyta looked at Donna in surprise, "You are one of the Titan!"
Donna immediately shook her head, "No, impossible!"
"The divine power bestowed by the Titan God flows within you. Now, if you just kill the Amazons beside you, you will truly awaken that great power."
Chusheng's voice was like a devil's whisper, seemingly containing some tangible power, forcing Donna to retreat continuously.
"Don't deny it. This Lasso of yours was forged by the Titan Gods. Diana is your enemy, your ultimate fated enemy whom you are destined to kill…"
Donna looked flustered. She noticed the suspicion in the eyes of her Amazon sisters.
Even Hippolyta and Antiope now looked at her with alarm, and even secretly began to prepare to prevent her betrayal.
Having never experienced such a thing, Donna had no experience in handling it.
She bit her lip in fear, her gaze sweeping around for help, finally meeting Aaron's eyes.
"Don't let your guard down. He's just trying to distract you."
Aaron said calmly.
Donna was stunned, then reacted, but just as she was about to strengthen the Lasso of Truth's hold,
Chusheng seized the opportunity to break free from the Lasso of Truth.
"Foolish Amazons, when you raise your weapons against me, you are no longer friends, but enemies!"
"Stop watching the show, kill them!"
Chusheng said to Cassandra and the others.
"Leave it to us. Not a single person here will escape!"
Eris, the Goddess of Discord, silently exercised her divine authority.
The Amazon Warriors, who had originally been wary and defensive, mostly turned on each other in an instant, pointing their weapons at their own people and fighting fiercely.
As a Daughter of Ares, Eris inherited a part of Ares's characteristics, namely "discord," which forms a factor of war.
Wherever she goes, discord will erupt, leading to human calamities.
In the past, Eris was Ares's most trusted and admired daughter.
Now… Eris's power of discord is fatal to ordinary Amazons.
However, Diana and Donna were powerless to stop it.
To curb discord, one must either wait for Eris to retreat voluntarily, or kill her…
Otherwise, only a more powerful concept could be used.
However, this IX other land (four) sulfur Qi Ba Japanese y / * ue - is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Chusheng would not let them do that,
And by the time they came up with a suitable method, Paradise Island would probably have no other living beings left.
Not just her,
Eris's brothers, Phobos, God of Fear, and Deimos, God of Dread, were also wantonly unleashing their divine authority on Paradise Island.
When the three of them combined, they could trigger large-scale wars, providing themselves and Ares with a continuous supply of divine power.
The small Paradise Island simply could not withstand their combined attack.
Even Diana and Donna were affected by this power.
"We must stop them!"
Diana clutched her head, throwing out the Lasso of Truth.
"Your opponent is me!"
Chusheng immediately appeared in front of Diana, grabbed the Lasso of Truth with one hand, and his powerful strength directly threw Diana aside.
Donna immediately stepped forward to attack Eris,
However, she, who had not yet truly awakened her Titan God power, was like a slightly larger child in front of Eris.
After a few moves, she was sent flying.
Hippolyta and Antiope also wanted to step forward to help,
Phobos, God of Fear, came before them, and an invisible force of fear pressed the two of them rigid, their faces constantly changing, as if they had fallen into some terrifying scene.
As for the other Amazon Warriors… they had long been affected by Eris's divine power and were attacking each other.
For a time, the vast Paradise Island became precarious.
Artemis was also affected by the divine power of the three Sons of Ares, her face became ferocious, and full of fighting spirit, she wanted to find Circe nearby and attack her.
No other meaning, just following her heart.
Seeing this, Aaron pointed his finger, and golden light surged into Artemis. The power of sacred evolution instantly washed away all negative buffs.
Artemis came to her senses, "Sorry, I didn't mean to attack you just now."
Circe showed a ball (two) loquat?1 three ⊙Peacock head, clearly also affected by divine power, resisting with difficulty, "But you wanted to attack me!"
Artemis pursed her lips, ignored Circe, and looked at Aaron with a pleading gaze, "Lord… Master, only you can save Paradise Island now, please help us repel them."
"If I intervene every time, then even if this crisis is overcome, Paradise Island will eventually be destroyed."
Aaron shook his head.
Just as Artemis felt downcast, Aaron's words took a turn.
"However… I can help you activate your original powers."
Aaron looked at Donna and Diana.
Lightning burst from his eyes, surging into their bodies in an instant, as if opening a lock.
The doors of divine power, originally hidden within them, opened, and the Titan God power and the power of the DC Ancient Gods surged like bamboo shoots after a rain!
At the same time, Aaron lightly stomped his foot,
A golden halo swept outwards from him, raising faint waves, and then all the negative forces of the Amazon Warriors were cleared away.
This scene made Eris and the other two look over in horror.
"What kind of power is that!!"
Chapter 245: Going Against the ancestor's Decision, Word of Power (Yan Ling)
As Sons of Ares,
Eris and her companions were incredibly confident in their own power.
Once they unleashed their divine power, even gods of the same rank would be affected.
Demigods like Diana and Donna only lasted longer than ordinary Amazons.
They endured the stirring of evil thoughts in their hearts while also fighting powerful enemies, so defeat was only a matter of time.
The outcome of this battle was decided from the very beginning.
However, they did not anticipate that,
There was another strong individual on Paradise Island.
And he could easily break their divine authority!
Even the legendary God King Zeus might not have such ability, right?
What frightened Eris even more was that,
Aaron merely glared, and Donna was like she had been injected with hormones, her power increasing dramatically every minute.
Originally, Eris could crush Donna with one hand,
Now she had to go all out just to contend with her.
And Donna's power was still increasing.
"Titan God power!"
"You actually awakened the power of the Titan Gods!"
Eris was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The Titan Gods were beings who could contend with Zeus,
Donna was an even more terrifying heir, used by the Titanto counter Diana and Zeus.
She possessed the blessings of several of the greatest Titan Gods within her,
It didn't matter if she didn't awaken,
Once awakened, she could instantly master multiple Titan authorities!
Eris cursed those foolish Titan Gods in her mind.
This "double-edged sword" was too sharp, it was about to devour its master!
Chusheng also felt the pressure.
After Diana's power was activated by Aaron,
Her physique, which had already begun to awaken, instantly ascended to a new level.
Magic lightning belonging to Zeus coiled around her body.
That magnificent, grand, ancient, and majestic aura of the ancient gods emanated,
Giving Chusheng the illusion of facing Zeus directly.
Without a doubt,
Diana could no longer call herself a "demigod"; she could truly be said to be a powerful ancient god!
"That guy is strange. I'll hold these two back, Cassandra, you and they go kill him!"
Chusheng shouted loudly.
Cassandra, also a Daughter of Zeus, pointed at herself, bewildered: "Me?"
She looked at Aaron, who seemed like a mere spectator and posed no threat. If it weren't for his casual actions just now that reversed the situation, they probably wouldn't have paid attention to this overly handsome guy until now.
Although Aaron hadn't truly made a move yet,
Any discerning person could see that Aaron, subtly surrounded by the Amazon women in the very center, was the true decision-maker of Paradise Island.
Perhaps also the most terrifying presence on the scene.
"Don't hesitate, Deimos, Phobos, you two go together!"
Although Chusheng wasn't very bright, he could sense a faint threat emanating from Aaron.
They must work together to kill Aaron!
The remaining guys on Paradise Island would be of no concern!
Deimos, God of Dread, hesitated.
He subconsciously glanced at Aaron, and their eyes met.
In that instant, it was as if he was seeing Ares for the first time when he opened his eyes as a newborn.
He was still a clueless, helpless infant, while Ares was already one of the most powerful and renowned chief gods.
Having confirmed the gaze, this one was the big daddy!
Deimos murmured, "Could it be… he's the real culprit?"
Eris and Phobos's hearts stirred.
Aaron was the bastard who killed their father?
The three exchanged glances.
Since it was a vendetta for patricide, there would be no peaceful resolution today.
All together!"
The three of them, with a tacit understanding, abandoned their respective opponents.
The Firstborn endured a punch from Diana and positioned himself in front of Donna, fighting two awakened warrior goddesses alone.
Even as powerful as The Firstborn, facing two terrifying main gods no weaker than himself at the same time,
plus their luxurious, max-level divine gear,
The Firstborn was under immense pressure for a time.
On the other side,
Cassandra saw Eris and her two brothers attack simultaneously, gritted her teeth, and followed closely.
Because Cassandra's mother was a mortal,
the bloodline power she inherited from Zeus was slightly weaker.
Although she awakened earlier than Diana, she only inherited the more standard super strength, super defense, and super reflexes.
Beyond that, she possessed the Word of Power (Yan Ling) ability to control others.
This was a power similar to 'what is said comes to pass,' or it could be called prophecy, somewhere in between the two.
She could control others through language, but because her inherited divine bloodline was weak, this ability was often difficult for her to utilize.
At least when facing demigods of the same level, or even true gods, it was hard for it to play a decisive role.
Therefore, her strength was primarily in combat using her powerful physique.
The Word of Power (Yan Ling) ability served more as support.
"Aaron, submit to me!"
"Pfft—"
Cassandra had just tried to use her Word of Power (Yan Ling) ability to control Aaron's mind, but the moment she spoke, she spat blood wildly due to a magical backlash.
Cassandra looked at Aaron in terror; this was the first time she had suffered such a severe magical backlash.
Not only were various parts of her body torn by the rampaging magic, reducing her power by seventy percent,
she had also completely drained all her divine power from that Word of Power (Yan Ling) spell!
Her face was pale, and her limbs were weak.
At that moment, she seemed to see the Dark Goddess beckoning to her!
Cassandra's immediate and incessant vomiting of blood startled Eris and her two brothers.
Before they could figure out why,
Aaron had already appeared beside Cassandra at some unknown moment and grabbed her.
Cassandra was about to resist, but her weakened body was powerless to break free from his large hand.
With a flash of a black hole,
Eris and the others could no longer sense Cassandra's aura!
"Word of Power (Yan Ling): Similar abilities detected and merged. You possess the characteristic of 'what is said comes to pass.' Your words are holy words, capable of commanding matter and energy, altering the rules of the universe, and controlling all beings. The effect depends on the opponent's status and strength."
"So, it merged with the Word of Power (Yan Ling) side-ability of Chaos Magic and Phoenix Force, huh? Maybe I can even impersonate God for a bit?"
Aaron mused to himself, while Eris and her two brothers, not far in front of him, froze in place, not daring to move.
Great Ares, my father.
Although I very much want to avenge you, the enemy you provoked is simply too powerful, so powerful that even our combined efforts cannot shake him in the slightest.
Therefore, I have made a decision that goes against our ancestor... From today on, I sever my father-daughter (father-son) relationship with you. I am no longer a Sons of Ares!
Without the slightest hesitation,
Eris and her two brothers, without any communication, simultaneously fled in three different directions.
The Firstborn, who was desperately resisting the combined efforts of Diana and Donna, was momentarily distracted, whereupon Diana seized the opportunity and severed his arm with a sword.
He was then kicked away by Donna.
However, The Firstborn gnashed his teeth, looking at the retreating figures of the three, "They're truly beasts!"
Chapter 246: Dark Abyss, Wielding the Authority of God
With Eris and her two brothers fleeing, The Firstborn, even if he boasted of his great strength, did not have the ability to simultaneously deal with the empowered Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl.
Coupled with Aaron, this mysterious and unfathomable unknown god,
even as powerful as The Firstborn, couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.
Ignoring his severed arm, The Firstborn used his blood manipulation ability to stop the bleeding, then turned and stomped his foot. The island trembled, and he shot up into the sky like a rocket.
Seeing this, Diana and Donna nodded to each other, then summoned the Lasso of Truth and the Lasso of Persuasion, extending them for hundreds of miles, attempting to keep The Firstborn.
However, Aaron raised his hand to stop their actions, "No need, they won't escape."
As he spoke,
before Diana and the others could ask, the previously clear sky instantly darkened.
The blazing sun was suddenly swallowed by darkness,
the entire Earth seemed to be consumed by an endless abyss, and shadow became the sole ruler of the world.
Even the bustling cities, or countries already in night, fell into profound darkness at this moment.
And the light and heat emitted by lamps, candles, and fireflies were devoured and chewed by the darkness in the first instant.
This was the Dark Abyss, Dark Power, after smelting the Dark King Knull and combining other Dark Power to upgrade.
The entire Earth was swallowed by the Dark Abyss,
and within that endless darkness,
there were many formless, insubstantial dark beings whispering and writhing.
Everyone's five senses were swallowed,
yet their other senses were amplified a thousand, ten thousand times.
This was especially intense for Eris, The Firstborn, Deimos, and Phobos.
They had originally escaped Paradise Island, soaring through the sky, with the boundless firmament above them and the endless sea below.
Before they could rejoice, they plunged headfirst into the Dark Abyss.
Beneath their feet, there seemed to be land, yet flying in the sky, they could move as if on solid ground on the "dark earth."
Although their five senses were stripped away, they could clearly perceive unknown creatures crowding around them.
These were either countless tentacles like agile snakes, or slender, thin shadows, or bloated, grotesque, eye-covered terrifying beings.
Even The Firstborn, who had been cast into the Earth's core, accompanied by Titan, enduring the whispers of ancient gods, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle and fear surge through his entire body.
He couldn't understand why, despite being betrayed by Zeus three times and experiencing the darkest moments in the world, he still felt dread towards the darkness at this moment?
"Who is it? Who are you? How dare you attack the great The Firstborn~"
The Firstborn forcibly broke free from the dark presences around him. He roared and shouted, condensing all his divine power, wantonly unleashing a torrent of divine power into the darkness.
This was a great power capable of shattering mountains and shaking Mount Olympus,
yet at this moment, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, gone without a trace.
Darkness embraces everything, darkness devours everything.
The Firstborn seemed to "hear" the playful sounds of many beings.
They were mocking, they were sneering, they were playing.
The Firstborn's heart trembled; the power called fear shattered his most proud psychological defense.
Similarly,
there was also Phobos, God of Dread,
this terrifying deity who instilled fear in the world and was feared by all,
was corroded by fear in his heart even before The Firstborn.
He who plays with fear shall ultimately be played by fear.
Phobos went mad.
The God of Dread was so terrified by the great fear in the darkness that his divine soul disintegrated!
Deimos, God of Dread, likewise did not escape the dark terror.
He was the first to be swallowed, fearing due to dread, due to the madness of the darkness.
As for Eris, God of Strife... "Go mad! All of you, die!"
Eris's face was distorted, and she frantically wielded her authority of strife. She was like a madwoman, striking wildly in the darkness alone.
She laughed as she "killed" one dark creature after another.
In her eyes, she seemed to see endless creatures in the dark world,
she thought she had killed the darkness, but in reality, she had long been defeated by the darkness.
Time seemed to have passed for a long while,
A year? Ten years? A hundred years?
However, in reality,
for the people of Paradise Island, only one minute had passed.
Day broke... The world returned to daylight, and the sun reclaimed its authority.
Warm sunlight dispelled the cold night.
Seabirds soared, waves crashed, as if the darkness from before had never existed.
However, the women discovered that
the Sons of Ares and The Firstborn, who should have escaped, had returned to the encirclement.
Deimos, God of Dread, squatted on the ground with his hands covering his head, his eyes vacant and lifeless; even with the arrival of light, they remained hollow.
Phobos, God of Dread, his face shattered, also had "hollow" eyes; he had literally gouged out his own eyes!
Eris, God of Strife, lay limply on the ground, a mad smile on her face.
The Firstborn, the Son of Zeus, had somehow reopened his stopped wound, and golden blood flowed thinly, seeming almost dry.
His once robust body was now much thinner, like a skeleton.
No longer the arrogant and untamed figure he once was.
The four of them shared one common characteristic—they were all blind!
Their entire beings had been assimilated by the darkness; even with the sun's return, they could not revert to their former selves.
The others present exchanged glances, then all looked at Aaron in unison.
"Don't look at me, their willpower wasn't firm, they were scared to death."
Aaron explained casually.
He had only used the most basic abilities of the Dark Abyss, plus a little bit of Fear Power.
However, he hadn't expected these so-called Sons of Ancient Gods to be so fragile and weak.
He hadn't even had time to use the dark shadows to create an army of boundless dark monsters yet.
Or to forcibly assimilate matter and energy, transforming them into another "Abyss Dimension."
One could only say that this generation of second-generation gods was too "fragile."
Upon hearing this, the women were all speechless.
You said the God of Awe was scared to death, and we believed it.
But if the God of Fear (Qian Zhaozhao) was scared to death, that's just too preposterous!
It's like the God of Thunder being struck dead by lightning, the God of the Sea drowning in the ocean, or the Goddess of Beauty dying from beauty… who would believe that?
Everyone thought the darkness Aaron had just cast over Earth was by no means mere fear.
Even the Goddess of Night might not be as powerful as Aaron.
Aaron knew others didn't believe him, but he was too lazy to explain.
He raised his hand, seized the Sons of Ares and Chusheng, and refined them.
[Power of Fear: Detected similar ability, already merged (Fear Control). You have mastered the Power of Fear, allowing you to project the deepest fears in all beings' hearts, causing their minds and bodies to collapse.]
[Power of Awe: You have gained the power of awe. Any being in your presence, if their will judgment fails, will have their strength weakened by 30%.]
[Power of Strife: You have gained the authority of strife, able to easily incite the inner brutality of all beings, causing them to attack each other, leading to endless conflict.].
Chapter 247: Source of the Ancient Gods, Keep Aaron at All Costs
[Blood Absorption: Detected similar ability, already merged (Vampire Bloodline). You can control and absorb others' blood to enhance your physique.]
[Source of the Ancient Gods: You can absorb the divine power of DC Ancient Gods to strengthen yourself.]
"Oh, not bad!"
Aaron nodded in satisfaction.
He hadn't expected these few minor second-generation gods to bring him such pleasant surprises.
Although the Power of Awe didn't directly strengthen his own power, it weakened enemies, indirectly boosting his own strength by 30%.
Of course, it first required a will judgment.
For conceptual-level beings, it would likely be difficult to take effect.
But it was still pretty good.
At this moment, Aaron looked at Circe again; she was the only one of the invaders left to be refined.
Circe noticed Aaron's gaze, and her watery eyes rippled slightly.
Due to the backlash of her charm magic, Circe was now completely at Aaron's beck and call.
Even if Aaron asked Circe to commit suicide, she would not hesitate for a second.
It was simply a perfect tool, a perfect RB.
Coupled with her full and sensual body,
He believed she was definitely no less impressive than Mary Jane, the innate hot weapon saint body.
Aaron beckoned,
Circe trotted over, gazing up at Aaron idiotily, with worship and awe.
It made one feel light-headed.
Aaron stroked Circe's purple wavy long hair, like petting a cat,
and casually refined her abilities.
[Power of Charm: Detected similar ability, already 277 merged (Voice of Charm, Kiss of Charm, Charm Magic...). You naturally exude the power of charm; every gesture, every smile, every movement can charm all beings of the opposite sex, bringing innate goodwill.]
[Seventy-Two Transformations: Detected similar ability, already merged (Exquisite Beast Transformation). You can freely transform into any form or object, possessing many of the target's characteristics and abilities, and you can also transform others at will.]
[Resurrection Spell: Detected similar ability, already merged (Revive the Dead, Necromancy...). You can summon souls from hell, bringing people back from the dead and restoring their previous forms.]
Note: If the soul has dissipated or is imprisoned, resurrection is not possible.
There were three abilities!
Aaron was a bit surprised. Although there wasn't much improvement, the biggest boost was in charm.
But it was still pretty good.
After all, Circe was originally just an ordinary human princess who gained some spellcasting abilities after receiving the blessing of the Goddess of Magic.
She could barely be considered a model of mortal counterattack.
She just went down the wrong path before.
Aaron, who liked to be a teacher, was ready to personally guide her onto the right path.
"Thank you, Aaron. If it weren't for your help, Paradise Island would probably be in ruins today."
Hippolyta looked around with lingering fear at Paradise Island, which was cracked due to Chusheng's kick.
Led by Chusheng, the five second-generation gods, plus Circe as their pawn—if Aaron hadn't intervened, they would have been annihilated!
Perhaps even without Chusheng's direct action, the ordinary Amazons would have slaughtered each other to the last person due to the Power of Strife.
Adding Ares, they now owed Aaron another favor.
No, it should be tens of thousands of fresh lives!
Antiope stepped forward and said, "Donna, Diana, you two take Aaron to rest first. We'll handle the aftermath."
Antiope gave Hippolyta a meaningful look,
and though the latter was puzzled, she also chimed in to agree.
Diana, hearing this, was a little strange, but she obediently took Donna and invited Aaron to leave.
Aaron just wanted to get to know Donna better, so he took Circe and Gwen Stacy, and left with Diana and the others.
When Aaron was far away,
Hippolyta was about to speak, but Antiope's expression was solemn: "Sister, Paradise Island cannot do without Aaron, just as fish cannot do without water, and humans cannot do without the sun."
"This is already the result of Aaron briefly curbing entropy. Otherwise, not just Chusheng and a few others would have come today, but also the even more evil Titan!"
Hippolyta pursed her lips. She naturally understood Antiope's meaning.
Aaron had made it very clear that without other forces intervening, their universe would inevitably perish.
The underlying logic of the universe was that good could not triumph over evil.
With their strength, let alone saving the world, they couldn't even protect Paradise Island.
If Aaron left,
she couldn't imagine what fate awaited them.
Aaron left in the morning, Paradise Island was gone by noon, and Earth was destroyed by afternoon.
When that darkness descended, no one knew how many hidden evil spirits from beyond the heavens would feast on this universe, bringing the world to its end.
"What do you intend to do?" Hippolyta had a guess in her heart.
Antiope's face was stern, "Keep Aaron, at all costs!"
Hippolyta hesitated, "Perhaps we could seek Zeus."
Antiope sneered, "Zeus? The ones who wanted to kill us today were the sons and daughters of Zeus!"
"He couldn't control his own desires, letting his children wreak havoc on us, and to this day, he has made no move to intervene."
"Zeus is unreliable, and Olympus is even more unreliable!"
"Aaron is right, we can only rely on ourselves!"
Hippolyta sighed, "Do whatever you want to do, I won't stop you."
"Paradise Island already owes Aaron an unpayable debt."
"So... why don't we give ourselves to him."
The last sentence was left unsaid.
What to do if you can't pay it back? Just package yourself up and give it to him. If you go from debtor to boss's wife, you don't have to pay it back!
Hippolyta naturally understood such a simple truth.
Although it was a bit difficult to say, for them, it might be the best solution.
If it weren't for her no longer possessing her former beauty, Hippolyta would even be willing to go herself, rather than sacrificing Diana and the other children.
Antiope seemed to see through her thoughts and said meaningfully, "This is not a sacrifice, nor is it humiliation. No woman can refuse him. Diana and the others are probably even enjoying it."
Antiope also sighed at this moment.
It was a pity she was born at the wrong time.
If it had been a few millennia earlier, where would Dianaand the others have stood?
That man… he was truly captivating.
On the other side,
Donna and Diana didn't know they had already been sold by their mother and queen.
Donna, fresh out of the gate, was like a newly enlisted soldier, nervously awaiting Aaron's inspection.
And being with her idol was just too wonderful.
However, Donna had a knot in her heart.
Her power came from the Titan.
Would the others on Paradise Island accept her, someone who carried the conspiracy of their mortal enemies?
Donna vaguely sensed the hidden vigilance and hostility in some of the gazes from others.
"What are you worried about?"
Aaron saw her inner fear, "Are you afraid of being ostracized and hated?"
Donna subconsciously glanced at Diana and nodded.
Diana smiled, "Donna, don't worry about that. Today, you chose to stand up and protect Paradise Island, you are one of us!"
Donna was overjoyed to receive her idol's affirmation.
But what excited her even more was that,
Aaron placed his hands on her shoulders.
"You did well today, no less than Diana."
Smelling the exotic fragrance emanating from Aaron's body, Donna felt dizzy; she was intoxicated… Chapter 248: Wings of the Titan, the Only Alliance of All Worlds
"I... I'm still far behind you..."
Donna murmured, completely immersed in Aaron's gentle whispers.
Although she was already over a hundred years old, for an Amazon, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
Having never seen a man before, the moment she saw Aaron, she could no longer accommodate anyone else.
"Don't underestimate yourself, you did very well."
Aaron gently patted her shoulder, making the girl's expression hazy.
Light-bodied, soft, and easy to push over.
Aaron was certain that with just a gentle push now, he could take Donna.
However, besides Donna and Diana, Circe, Artemis, and Gwen Stacy were also present.
The first time shouldn't be too casual.
Donna smiled foolishly,
"May I see your Lasso of Magic?"
Aaron said softly.
Donna nodded repeatedly, "No problem."
After handing the Lasso of Magic to Aaron, Donnaexplained, "I saw this lasso among the leaves when I ventured into the forest as a child. Now it seems it was something the Titan Gods deliberately left for me."
"Can you help me see if there are any other issues with it?"
Donna spoke with caution, especially when mentioning the word "Titan."
Aaron took the lasso and carefully sensed the power within it, secretly melting the lasso, and at the same time, melting Donna's abilities.
[Will Deterrence: Any being in your presence, as long as their will judgment fails, will be intimidated to their core and subconsciously obey your will.]
[Titan Power: Detected similar ability has been merged (Primordial Giant Power). You can continuously gain energy from the world and have taken control of some of the DC Universe's Earth authority.]
Authority of the DC Universe?
Aaron recalled that the ancient gods and Titan of the DC Universe represented the rules of the world.
If he could melt them, wouldn't that be similar to a DC version of Almighty Power?
Aaron carefully sensed the difference between the two.
The incomplete cosmic-level Almighty Power he obtained from the Marvel Universe could also be used in the DC Universe.
However, the world composition of Marvel and DC still had some differences.
The biggest difference was that the ancient gods of the DC Universe, led by Zeus and the other Olympian gods, originated from the Source, which is the Source Wall.
Even the New Gods, like Darkseid, also came from the Source.
"If I could melt both the New Gods and the ancient gods, perhaps I could obtain the Power of the Source?"
"Hmm, I could also try melting the Source Wall, but that would easily attract the attention of those guys."
"Oh, and it seems there's a super-cosmic-level god, the Mother of Creation Perpetua, sealed within the Source Wall."
"If I really melted the Source Wall, I'd probably have to slip back to Marvel first."
Aaron thought for a moment. Although he wasn't afraid of Perpetua, he still had to show respect to guys like the Spectre and the supreme god.
Comparatively, the ancient gods and New Gods were easier to deal with.
"Aaron, I have an idea."
Diana pondered, "Perhaps we can establish an organization, for example... the Justice League? The Justice Society?"
"We are inevitably going to fight against the ever-increasing evil, so why not unite all trustworthy forces to face the great catastrophe together?"
Aaron was quite surprised to hear this.
Good heavens, Diana actually preempted Batman by half a century!
Batman, if he knew, would definitely exclaim, "Genius!"
Wait, is Batman still in tadpole form right now? Then it's fine.
Donna and Artemis on the side also had their eyes light up.
It sounded very tempting.
It was like the Age of Gods over a thousand years ago, where demigod heroes were everywhere, and legendary warriors were common.
Perhaps they could also become a legend?
The few of them simultaneously looked at Aaron; unknowingly, Aaron had already become the true decision-maker.
Even for a small matter, Aaron's consent was needed.
To this, Aaron said he didn't care, "No problem, after all, Themyscira and even this world need your protection."
"However... have you ever thought about a problem?"
Diana's expression became serious, "What problem?"
"How do you ensure that the members of this organization are 'trustworthy' and 'just'? In other words, how do you ensure their eternal reliability?"
Aaron said meaningfully, "Light and darkness are not immutable. In this world where good often fails against evil, even a Superhero can fall into the most terrifying dark existence during a battle."
Diana immediately fell into deep thought.
After personally experiencing these two battles, Dianaunderstood that this universe could not be judged by common sense.
Perhaps no one but Aaron could stop the invasion of dark forces.
As she thought, Diana felt she was overlooking an important detail.
Gwen Stacy, who had been silent, slowly said, "This is easy to solve, right? You are a time anchor, you can curb entropy increase, so those who are with you should also have the ability to resist darkness."
Right! That's it!
Diana grasped that fleeting inspiration; Aaron could control entropy, could dispel darkness, so Aaron was the key to this matter!
0 Seeking fresh flowers
Artemis was a bit puzzled, "Time anchor? What is that?"
Gwen Stacy explained, "In the world we came from, Aaron has the ability to fix time. As long as he lives in a universe, it is as solid as a rock, unshakeable, and even time cannot be tampered with."
"And the women who have had a relationship with him will all be constant and unique across all worlds, unaffected by external changes."
Hearing this, Donna and the others were secretly shocked, and their beautiful eyes looking at Aaronbecame even more astonished.
Even Aaron was quite surprised, "How did you find out?"
He rarely mentioned the matter of being unique across all worlds to others.
Even his harem members knew very little.
Gwen Stacy put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Have you forgotten who I am? I am Gwen Stacy, who can break the fourth wall, and also the ultimate Marvel fan."
... 0
"Ever since I've been with you, my memories have also become constant. While reading comics these past few days, I saw Clea, Psylocke, and Jubilee in the comics, but I didn't see Emma, Kitty, and the others."
"Also, those people around you, they are all very excellent and possess many special abilities. Such classic characters couldn't possibly be absent from the comics."
"After much deliberation, I discovered this secret!"
"It's truly incredible. You are not only a time anchor but also a multi-world anchor!"
Gwen Stacy narrated her deduction process, while also observing Aaron's expression.
She couldn't help but become even more convinced of her own guess.
The others listened in a daze.
They didn't understand the fourth wall or comics, but they could understand one thing: Gwen Stacy's method could perfectly solve this concern.
Then the problem was easy to solve.
As long as all members of the Justice League or Justice Society had a relationship with Aaron.
Then wouldn't they be able to avoid being corrupted and fallen by darkness?
Although this sounded quite absurd,
However... this was a matter concerning entrusting their backs and lives, so no amount of caution was too much.
Good sisters... good comrades?!
Diana and Artemis subconsciously looked at Donna.
The latter's face became even redder.
Donna said in a voice as faint as a mosquito, "If... if it's for justice and Themyscira, I... I can!"
Circe on the side raised both hands, her face flushed and excited, "Count me in! I'm willing to abandon darkness and embrace light! I'm a great sorceress, I know many spells, and I'll definitely be the most reliable good comrade!"
Chapter 249: The Idea Queen, Persuasion and Seduction
"Since everyone thinks this method is feasible, then let's build an all-female Justice League!"
Before Diana could think it through, Artemis directly made the choice for her.
Artemis knew what General Antiope wanted her to do.
Win over Aaron!
If possible, use every means to keep him!
As Antiope's most capable subordinate, Artemis was similar to her in many ways.
At least on the matter of Aaron, she and Antiope shared the same stance.
Now that there was an opportunity to deepen her relationship with Aaron, Artemis naturally wouldn't hesitate.
Seeing no one objected, Diana hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Wait, all female? That won't do!"
Gwen Stacy extended her index finger, "We have and can only have one male member, and that's Aaron!"
"As for other men... they can't be trusted."
Artemis nodded, thinking to herself whether to bring in Antiope and Hippolyta.
However, considering that they were already old and faded, it would be better not to lower the average standard. Aaron wasn't that desperate.
As for the other sisters,
Artemis was already carefully considering the quality of the other Amazon girls.
The more the better, with quality being the priority.
Aaron, seeing this, found it quite amusing.
He hadn't expected that the Justice League of this universe would actually expand with him at its core.
Could it be that in the future there would be a Superwoman, Batwoman, Cyborg Girl, or The Flash Girl?
Hiss~
Logically speaking, it wasn't impossible, was it?
But that was decades later, so there was no need to consider it now.
Just as Aaron was thinking this,
Gwen Stacy had another "good idea."
"I have a fantastic idea!"
As soon as Gwen Stacy spoke, Diana and the others looked over.
Because of her previous suggestion, Gwen Stacy had already earned their approval.
Unbeknownst to them, Gwen Stacy, with her many years of experience reading Marvel comics and playing games, had become the idea queen of this team.
Gwen Stacy said excitedly, "According to my many years of comic book experience, a Superhero team needs to have talent in various aspects."
"For example, a beautiful IT woman, multiple logistics support personnel, preferably with extremely strong scientific research capabilities."
"And multiple combat personnel, at least a 'Big Three,' right?"
"No, no, no, considering the danger level of this universe, we need more helpers, and even need to develop subordinate Superhero organizations for the Justice League, such as a Super-Second Generation League?"
"This would be a talent pool for frontline Superheroes."
"We even need to establish a Guardians of the Milky Way Galaxy, responsible for the safety of the Milky Way Galaxy, able to provide us with alien intelligence, and serving as the first line of defense."
"Besides that, we must have a magical group formed by magic-side heroes to provide us with magical support and resist threats from other dimensions..."
"Oh no, I have too many good ideas, but now we have to face a cruel fact..."
"We are short-staffed! We are short of many, many people!"
Gwen Stacy's expression became incredibly serious, "The warriors of Themyscira are also excellent, but they are lacking in both strength and ability."
"Although they can be slowly trained, we don't have that much time."
"Then what should we do?" Artemis asked urgently.
Aaron had a bad premonition at this moment.
Sure enough,
Gwen Stacy suddenly looked at Aaron.
The other women also looked over.
"Although I'm not interested in DC comics, I know the DC Universe also has many parallel universes, and it seems there's a great Superhero, Supergirl Kara?"
"Aaron... why don't you make the effort to visit other universes and bring some helpers over?"
"Hmm, this is the Multiverse War! When one side is in trouble, all sides come to help!"
Gwen Stacy chuckled.
Aaron's mouth twitched. In this day and age, there were actually women actively encouraging their man to have a large harem, and the more the merrier.
"You don't know, Aaron is best at this. Even I was brought by him from another universe."
"Aaron was so impressive in our world!"
Gwen Stacy recounted Aaron's great achievements to the others.
Diana and the others grew more and more tempted as they listened.
They really hadn't thought of this method... As expected of the Idea King!
Artemis gave Circe and Donna a look.
Circe immediately stepped forward and hugged Aaron, "Master~ please, help us!"
Donna's cheeks were flushed. She gritted her teeth and hugged Aaron's other hand, "Dea... dear, please help us..."
Artemis patted her chest and said, "At that time, we can proactively persuade them; you just need to sleep with them to convince them."
If possible, Artemis and the others naturally didn't want to abandon Themyscira and their own universe.
Since Aaron couldn't stay in their world forever, it was better to change their approach.
Aaron would continue his inter-universal travels, but he would treat their universe as the "DC Prime Universe," continuously bringing in trustworthy sisters.
They would transform this universe into a second Marvel Universe, and Aaron's second home.
They believed they would absolutely not be inferior to the sisters in the other universe.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Aaron scanned the five women and asked again.
Artemis nodded firmly.
The others also did not object.
"Alright, in that case, this universe will be the 'Prime Universe' of the DC Multiverse."
Aaron didn't care about this. Although placing a second base within the Dark Multiverse was relatively dangerous, what did it matter?
He didn't need to care about 0.5.
The moment Aaron uttered those words,
In the unseen, the entire universe was enveloped by some mysterious power. A boat anchor seemed to be cast into the turbulent river of time.
The originally chaotic and disorderly rules seemed to find their backbone and slowly began to reshape.
And in the Dark Multiverse, in the distant Realm of Gods,
an old woman, a middle-aged woman, and a young girl suddenly looked up at the boundless darkness.
"Did you perceive it? The gears of dark fate have shifted."
"Fate is taking another path. Time and the universe are being corrected by the power of a great existence..."
"Who is He? Where does He come from? Why does He linger in a small world?"
"Should we go see?"
"That is their family's domain; we can just observe quietly...".
Chapter 250: Gotham in 1989, Triple Kill
At the same time,
Aaron also noticed the changes in this universe.
Now, he could vaguely perceive the process of this world's transformation.
He saw with his own eyes the waves of the river of time become calm.
Originally, the river would occasionally splash up waves, but now, this river seemed to have become a "dead river"; it might not even have a single wave in ten years.
Moreover, this universe began to evolve again.
Centered around Aaron, it spontaneously changed according to Aaron's preferences and unconscious thoughts.
Aaron became the anchor, the center of the universe, invisibly connected to Earth, and causing the entire galaxy, the entire universe, to actively conform.
This was an unconscious process, yet quite miraculous.
This universe, from its very inception, was a failure, with numerous flaws.
When it emerged from the primal furnace, it should have been destroyed by the Destroyer Dragon Barbatos.
However, due to Barbatos's selfishness, he secretly left these universes. Although it gained new life, it was also destined to be destroyed due to its flaws and darkness, becoming sustenance for Barbatos's destructive power.
But now,
the flaws of this universe were also slowly healing under Aaron's influence.
This was a complementary interaction between the rules of the DC and Marvel Universes, thereby gaining the possibility of becoming a normal universe.
Even the underlying dark logic of evil triumphing over good was fading.
Aaron made an estimate:
Even if he didn't actively add 04 to this process, as long as he could curb entropy increase and ensure there were no world-ending crises,
then in a thousand years, this universe would completely return to normal, becoming the only light universe in the Dark Multiverse!
Aaron could even control this process. If he wished, he could accelerate this speed or pause it indefinitely.
"This is the evolution of rules... The core at the lowest level is me, which is the primal furnace. The next is the Almighty Power and the power of the Marvel Ancient Gods obtained from the Marvel Universe..."
Aaron vaguely understood.
"If I unconsciously and actively promote this process, I might be able to create a combined universe that merges Marvel and DC."
"For example, the Avengers and the Justice Leaguecoexisting, A.R.G.U.S. and S.H.I.E.L.D. having a love-hate relationship..."
"Superman versus Captain Marvel, Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark competing against each other..."
"Although it sounds interesting, it has no meaning."
Aaron shook his head. Such combined universes already existed; there was no need to create another unique, special combined universe.
"What's wrong? Has some abnormality appeared again?"
Diana noticed Aaron's abnormality and asked worriedly.
"Something abnormal did happen, but it's good news."
Aaron nodded and told them about the universe's changes.
Upon hearing this, Donna couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "So we only need to hold on for another thousand years, and our universe will return to normal?"
"That's truly wonderful!"
Artemis heavily punched the air, "What are we waiting for? Let's start acting quickly!"
"Arm our forces as much as possible to resist the darkness!"
A thousand years is neither long nor short.
Gwen Stacy found this a bit hard to accept, as in her understanding, most people only live for a hundred years or so.
However, for the Amazons, who possess long lifespans, a thousand years passes in an instant.
Perhaps not even enough for one generation to grow up.
Seeing Artemis and the others being overly optimistic, Gwen Stacy couldn't help but pour cold water on them: "I think our current focus should be on how to maintain world peace when Aaron isn't around."
"If every time it's enemies like Ares and The Firstborn, we might be finished next week, let alone in a thousand years."
Hearing this, everyone calmed down slightly.
At this moment, Diana gritted her teeth, "Aaron, why don't you quickly travel to other worlds to gather people? We'll advise you on how to win them over."
!!!
Aaron was quite surprised; Diana's style had also changed!
Gwen Stacy said meaningfully, "Perhaps we won't be needed. Who can refuse Aaron?"
Artemis, however, had a different opinion, "Before that, I think we should take care of something else first."
"Hmm?"
"Donna, Circe, it's time for your initiation ceremony! Accept the sacred baptism from the Great Father. Only then can you truly join us!"
Artemis pushed Donna and Circe forward.
Perhaps worried that Donna might be shy, Artemisdirectly helped her. As for Circe... she had already started helping herself the moment Artemis spoke.
Seeing this, Diana, still a little shy, quickly left.
Gwen Stacy also wanted to slip away,
However, Diana seemed to remember something, suddenly turned back, and threw the Lasso of Truth, binding Gwen Stacy tightly.
"Have you completed the initiation ceremony?"
"No..."
Gwen Stacy's eyes widened, "But I'm not from your universe."
"You are now."
Diana flicked her wrist, and the Lasso of Truth bound Gwen Stacy in a special way. Then she pushed her in, and after stepping out, locked the door behind her.
She stood guard outside the door, holding the sword of vulcan.
Not long after, Artemis also walked out of the room and stood shoulder to shoulder with Diana.
The next moment, a seductive sound came from the room.
The sacred baptism had begun.
Several days later,
Aaron walked out of the room, refreshed.
The Amazon women were indeed as legendary: wild and passionate.
Because of their long-term life in the jungle, their figures were quite slender, and their stamina was excellent.
But facing Aaron, they were still utterly defeated.
Here, Gwen Stacy deserved special criticism; she wasn't even a fraction of Circe and Donna.
At this time, Artemis was still standing at the door.
Seeing Aaron come out, she greeted him without any shyness.
"How do you feel? Were they able to satisfy you?"
"I can only say, the experience was not bad."
Aaron shrugged. With his current ability, even if Supergirl were in front of him, he could make her kneel and beg for mercy, calling him Daddy.
Donna had tried very hard to please him, but unfortunately, sometimes the gap between two parties cannot be bridged by effort alone.
Artemis was not at all surprised. "I knew it. It seems you should act quickly. The more people there are, the more you can enjoy yourself. Hippolyta and Antiope are also looking forward to new friends coming to Themyscira to play."
Aaron heard this and felt the situation was getting more and more out of hand.
"Alright, alright, you go take care of them, I'll go find helpers."
Aaron waved his hand, directly tearing open the space barrier and stepping into another universe.
A city with a heavy sense of history.
Aaron looked around, surveying this world he had randomly traversed.
Although Aaron hadn't started gathering information about this world yet, just the scent of evil permeating the air was enough.
He glanced at a newspaper by the roadside, which read "1989."
"No doubt about it."
"This is Gotham, Gotham in 1989!"
"Is this the standalone Keaton Batman universe, or the Keaton Batman universe from The Flash?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow. If it was the former, this world still had potential.
But if it was the latter, he could bid it farewell right away.
Being stuck with that pig Barry Allen would definitely mean his ancestral grave was spewing black smoke.
Aaron pondered, directly hacking into the River of Time. He saw the future of the original River of Time… The Flash, The Flash… Oh, jackpot!
Aaron shook his head, silently mourning for three seconds. Just then, a speeding motorcycle suddenly shot out from a distance down the street—clearly a generic criminal.
Behind it was the Batmobile.
On his first day in 1989, he witnessed the life-and-death speed chase that only existed on television. It could only be said, it was truly Gotham!
Aaron merely glanced, and the developmental history of this world flashed through his mind.
Upon closer thought, he realized the only thing worth taking from this universe was Supergirl Kara.
"Wait, at this point in time… Kara probably hasn't even reached Earth yet, has she? Then I came for nothing!"
Chapter 251: Aaron is an Angel, The World's Call
Thinking of this, Aaron subconsciously wanted to hack into the internet to search for information about Kara.
But then, Aaron abandoned the idea.
It was 1989; internet technology was far less developed than after the millennium.
Searching for Kara via the internet was simply unrealistic.
However, Aaron vaguely remembered that Kara in this universe, after arriving on Earth, roughly crash-landed in the Siberia region.
And she was quite unlucky; after the forced landing, she was discovered by local forces, who then built a military base around her spaceship.
This also led to Kara not having the opportunity to come to the outside world to receive sunlight and enhance her powers.
This process continued until the 21st century, when The Flash changed the past to create this timeline. Only then, under the threat of Zod, did he unite with Keaton Batmanto rescue her.
And because of this,
Compared to Clark, who had received sunlight for over thirty years, Kara was no different from an infant.
Kara lost over a decade of developmental opportunity, and in the final battle, she was repeatedly killed by Zod.
No matter how many times time was reset, this inevitable future could not be changed.
"Forget it, I'd better get Kara out first…"
Although with current Earth technology, it was highly unlikely they could handle a Kryptonian spaceship,
Aaron couldn't gamble. After all, Kara was someone he valued, and he couldn't let others take her for research.
As Aaron was thinking this, his cosmic-level divine sense instantly crossed half the Earth, arriving in distant Siberia.
And without the local people noticing, he scanned the entire land, but found nothing.
Aaron frowned slightly, looking up at the sky.
Within the Solar System, Aaron saw a Kryptonian spaceship, engulfed in flames, rapidly flying towards Earth at an astonishing speed.
If no unexpected events occurred, according to its trajectory, the spaceship would miss Earth and head towards more distant star fields.
However, Aaron only took one look, combining knowledge from mathematics, physics, astronomy, and other fields, to construct a route map within the Solar System star chart.
And on the route map, near Earth, the spaceship would collide with a stray meteor, eventually crashing into the Siberia region.
"Get out!"
A furious shout and the roar of an engine came from beside him.
Aaron, standing on the outer edge of the street, slightly regained his composure, watching the motorcycle speed by at ninety miles an hour.
Batman, driving the Batcycle, pursued relentlessly, aiming a modified gun and accurately hitting the criminal in front.
After Batman tied up the unconscious criminal, he looked at Aaron, who was standing by watching the commotion.
With just one glance, Keaton Batman sensed that Aaronwas unusual.
In Gotham City, where folk customs were simple, there was no shortage of talent.
If you met someone with a special aura on the street, then you had to be careful; this guy was very likely a formidable character hiding his true abilities.
Although the Gotham City of the Keaton Batmanuniverse was not as complex as other universes, it was by no means to be underestimated.
Bruce Wayne could swear, based on his over thirty years of experience, that judging by the aura emanating from the man in front of him, even in Gotham, a city full of talent, he was absolutely no ordinary person!
Aaron was very handsome, and he seemed out of place in Gotham City.
Under normal circumstances, a handsome man like Aaronwould never have the chance to show his face publicly.
He would either be captured and tortured by some underground boss, or sold into prostitution, serving both women and men.
But Aaron stood before him perfectly unharmed, and so calm.
With that unique aura and flawless face, Keaton Batmanfelt that such a person should not live in Gotham City; Gotham City was unworthy!
There was no soil for him to thrive here!
While Keaton Batman felt vigilant, he couldn't help but advise, "Sir, I welcome you on behalf of Gotham City, but I suggest you'd best go to Metropolis. As you can see, it's very dangerous here, especially for someone like you."
"Thank you for the reminder. I will be leaving Gothamvery soon."
Aaron smiled slightly, then looked up at the sky. A "Lin Daiyu" was about to fall from the sky. Wasn't that better than Gotham?
Keaton Batman nodded, just about to handcuff the criminal aside and wait for the police to finish up.
However, some whispers came from nearby.
"Did you see when that handsome guy appeared?"
"I don't remember… It seemed like no one was here just now? Like he just suddenly appeared?"
"I saw him! He just 'poof' appeared. Could he be the legendary angel?"
"He must be an angel. Only an angel could be so handsome. He's still looking at the sky; perhaps he's looking at heaven?"
"…"
Keaton Batman paused. An angel?
That's right, Aaron was indeed very handsome. In Gotham, a city shrouded in darkness, Aaron truly seemed like a holy angel, no wonder his coloring was so different from Gotham's.
Not only his attire, but also that unique, transcendent aura.
There was an indescribable sense of detachment from Gotham City.
If Gotham was hell, then Aaron truly seemed like an angel!
Keaton Batman suddenly looked up, taking a few steps to stand before Aaron. "Sir, are you really an angel? From heaven?"
Aaron shook his head, saying meaningfully, "I have no relation to those bird-people."
Keaton Batman frowned slightly. Not an angel? Bird-people? Could he be a demon from hell in human skin?
For some reason, Keaton Batman subconsciously felt that Aaron was no ordinary person.
In the depths of his being, a voice was telling him, 'Do not miss Aaron, or you will regret it immensely.'
It was a very special feeling.
Keaton Batman had not believed in gods in this world before.
But at this moment, he felt that if he didn't speak up today, some terrible disaster might occur in the future.
He even felt a sense of suffocation… Aaron raised an eyebrow. He heard the echo of this world.
It was an extremely faint, unconscious sound from all living beings in heaven and earth.
It seemed they saw their inevitable demise in the future, and under some self-preservation mechanism, they influenced Keaton Batman, the absolute center of this world.
Interesting… It was his first time noticing such a situation.
Could this be the Voice of The Green (DC Universe Life Force)?
Or perhaps… the unwilling cries of the deceased from countless shattered timelines decades later, transcending time?
Aaron's appearance allowed them to see the 'one that escaped,' to see the only hope?
Chapter 252: The Green (DC Universe Life Force), Flash Killed
Image: Poison Ivy.
This special feeling made Aaron subconsciously divert much of his attention to explore this "Voice of The Green (DC Universe Life Force)."
This was DC, not the Primordial World; the concept of "the one that escaped" didn't apply here.
Any strange situation should have a corresponding explanation.
Aaron would not ignore this anomaly, even if he was certain it posed no threat or ill intent towards him.
Keaton Batman did not notice anything unusual about himself; that special power left him somewhat puzzled.
He attributed this influence to Aaron's uniqueness.
"Sir, I can confirm I have never seen you before, but for some reason, I feel a special affinity for you."
"Would you mind enlightening me?"
Keaton Batman chose his words carefully.
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Is that so puzzling? It's merely because I'm handsome. You see, others feel the same affinity for me, don't they?"
Keaton Batman scanned his surroundings. The people around, especially the women, looked at Aaron with sparkling eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a crime scene, they might have already rushed up to talk and flirt with Aaron.
Keaton Batman remained silent for a few seconds. "No, that's not the same. For some reason, you seem very important to me."
Aaron thought for a moment, then, with the intention of testing, he tentatively said, "Perhaps because… I can save this world."
!!!
Keaton Batman's eyes widened. Either I have a problem, or you have a problem!
Save the world? What the hell? Was a nuclear war about to break out between the United States and Russia?
No, that thought… that empire next door was already on the verge of collapse, too busy with its own problems. Could it be that they were going to make a desperate, all-or-nothing move?
Aaron smiled, pointing into the distance. A flash of spiritual light surged into Keaton Batman's mind.
He had intercepted a portion of the world's outcome decades later and directly transmitted it into his brain.
Keaton Batman slowly processed it, as if he had been immersed in it, experiencing that future period like a fleeting glimpse.
The current Bruce had only just become Batman, protecting Gotham City.
The Joker had not yet been born, and the Penguin had not yet dominated Gotham.
The future "happiest city in the world" was still nowhere in sight.
However, Keaton Batman had to face a terrible truth—the world was going to end!
"I found you!"
Before Keaton Batman could fully process it, Aaronfinally found the reason.
He surveyed the lushness of Gotham City, which was not the call of Mother Earth, but the voice of The Green (DC Universe Life Force).
The Green (DC Universe Life Force) is one of the mysterious natural forces in the DC Universe, and also one of its elemental forces.
This force imbues plants with vitality, making it almost the most resilient and tenacious force in the DC Universe.
Theoretically, every green plant in the DC world is connected to The Green (DC Universe Life Force).
A host chosen by The Green (DC Universe Life Force), as long as a trace of green exists in the universe, can be reborn.
Aaron looked into the distance.
A red-haired beauty walked over.
Her skin was somewhat pale, and her face held a hint of bewilderment, panic, and unease.
"You are… Pamela?"
Aaron was quite surprised, not expecting Keaton Batmanto also have Poison Ivy.
Pamela said with a hint of nervousness, "Sir, can you help me? I was just pruning plants, but they seemed to come alive and stung me, and that's how I became like this."
Pamela raised her slender hands, but there were no wounds on her smooth, flawless skin.
It was clear that Pamela's eyes were filled with confusion, as if she was wondering why she had healed so quickly.
"I heard many voices, like countless people arguing in my ears. They told me to come find you. I don't understand, I feel like I'm going crazy."
Pamela clutched her head with her right hand and shook it frantically, "They seem to be saying… save me?"
Aaron gestured for Pamela to come closer.
Pamela hesitated, but looking at Aaron's handsome face, whether it was an illusion or not, she felt her spirit comforted, and the feeling of mental dissociation also lessened.
The closer she got to Aaron, the more peaceful she felt inside.
Pamela slowly approached, and Aaron placed his hand on her hair, directly fusing with her abilities.
[Fragment of The Green (DC Universe Life Force): You have acquired some characteristics of The Green (DC Universe Life Force), possessing immense vitality, the ability to control all plants and their properties, and to strengthen yourself by leveraging its power. As long as plants still exist in the universe, you will be immortal.]
The moment he fused with The Green (DC Universe Life Force),
Aaron, with his powerful mind, instantly gained control of the entire Earth's plant perspective.
Plants do not have eyes, but they can perceive everything in their surroundings through wind, hormonal scents, tendrils, and so on.
Any place where plants exist is his "eye," capable of monitoring everything for him.
Moreover, he can control plant hormones, and through various combinations, create mind-controlling toxins, hormonal agents, and deadly poisons, while also being immune to most external toxins.
All plants are a part of his power; he can augment this power to gain immortal vitality and even greater physical strength.
"The Green (DC Universe Life Force) can indeed be combined with Raging Burn, strengthening the physique while rapidly recovering, thereby augmenting even greater power!"
With powerful computational abilities, Aaron quickly analyzed the utility of The Green (DC Universe Life Force)for himself, combining it with his own abilities.
This plant power not only provides him with information about the current world but also records past memories and can even link to the future through certain means.
The Green (DC Universe Life Force) of this universe, sensing that this universe was destined to collapse due to the constant reboots by the Big Flash and Little Flash, unconsciously sought help from Aaron.
It even proactively created Pamela as a host to approach Aaron and seek assistance.
Those voices were precisely the voices of all plants on Earth and even in the universe.
However, in the Keaton Batman universe, supernatural abilities are not prominent, and even the power of The Green (DC Universe Life Force) is so weak that it struggles to assemble a complete, powerful plant host.
Poison Ivy was already the strongest spokesperson that the unconscious The Green (DC Universe Life Force)could produce.
However, against the future Zod, she was simply not enough.
Having also gained the power of The Green (DC Universe Life Force), Aaron was more adept at controlling it than Pamela, able to perfectly harness it without being influenced by the myriad plant consciousnesses.
Seeing that Pamela was still in some pain, Aaronintervened to alleviate her symptoms.
Pamela took a deep breath as if reborn, the fragmented noise in her ears finally gone, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you, sir, I knew you could help me."
At this moment, Keaton Batman had finished sifting through his memories and looked at Aaron with a complex expression.
"Is this the future of our world? The timeline collapsing and being destroyed because of two idiots?"
"Sir, may I ask… can I just shoot them?"
Chapter 253: A Deal with the World, Keaton Batman's Resolve
Keaton Batman was never a benevolent Batman; unlike most Batmen in other universes, he did not adhere to a no-kill rule.
In the next two years, he would take down the Joker, who plagued the entire city, as well as the Penguin and other famous villains.
Moreover, this universe's Gotham did not have as many supernatural criminals.
That's why he was able to eliminate the underground forces and, using the wealth of the Wayne Corporation, spend decades transforming Gotham City into one of the happiest cities in the world.
The Dark Knights retired perfectly, becoming a legend of Gotham City.
Keaton Batman also shared commonalities with other Batmen, such as his love for Gotham.
He was quite relieved to see his future self successfully transforming Gotham City decades later, but when he saw how the Big Flash's selfishness turned the world he had painstakingly changed into one of countless colliding and shattered universes,
The bitterness and anger in his heart were inexpressible.
Although he knew that both Barry Allen were not criminals, but rather true Superheroes.
However, it's not the god-like opponent one fears, but the pig-headed teammate.
Barry Allen's foolishness greatly shocked Keaton Batman.
Compared to having two The Flash and a Supergirl on his side, he would rather kill the other party, as long as it could change the inevitable future.
Aaron shook his head, "It's fine if you want to kill them, but you need to consider that even if you kill them, you won't be able to change the outcome."
Although The Flash's strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, with his ability to reverse time, it's almost impossible for him to be killed.
But Aaron never doubted Batman's combat prowess.
You can say Batman's individual combat strength is weak, but the premise is: don't challenge him to a fight!
Decades of preparation… even a god would be killed for you to see!
Keaton Batman was silent for a moment, then said with an inexplicable tone, "Then, what if I go back to the point in time when Barry Allen changed the past, and restore everything to its proper course?"
Barry Allen sacrificed countless universes to save his mother.
Then he just walked away, without any psychological burden.
What's even more infuriating is that in the end, he still held onto a sliver of hope and changed the past!
What good is such a teammate?
And because of this,
Then why couldn't he sacrifice one person to save multiple universes?
Although this would go against his principles, killing an innocent ordinary person would be too sinful.
But… Barry Allen's mother might be innocent, but Barry Allen truly isn't!
Keaton Batman was troubled, conflicted, and in pain. If he did this, what difference would there be between him and other dark criminals?
Criminals destroy order for their own selfish reasons, while he would trample on the law for the sake of the world.
But, if sacrificing him could bring peace to the entire world, he would be willing to do it, even if it meant giving up his life!
"Bruce, the answer to this question, your future self decades from now has already given it to you."
Aaron looked at Keaton Batman and said calmly, "Doing this would at most only create another timeline branch, and the world you are in, or at least another universe, would still follow its original path."
Keaton Batman's face was twisted in a grimace; he was far from having the unshakeable composure of the older Keaton Batman, who could face a collapsing mountain without changing his expression.
He would suffer and be tormented by his inability to do anything in the face of a desperate future.
A dark future is not terrifying, but what is despairing is knowing all of this decades in advance, yet racking your brains and still being unable to change the outcome.
That kind of powerlessness and despair is enough to drive anyone mad.
Even worse, some might give up and destroy their own world first.
"Barry Allen!!"
Keaton Batman roared like a beast; it was the first time he had remembered that name so profoundly. Even though he had never met the person, he could never forget it.
Even if he died now, he would still shout it with a decaying voice!
"Is there really no way?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Keaton Batman's mind, most of them mad and dark.
His face changed constantly with these dark thoughts, just like the Joker, or the Mask.
His current mental state was quite worrying; if things went wrong, Keaton Batman could become the first Joker.
Finally, he seemed to think of something, "No, no, you must have a way!"
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to you!"
Keaton Batman looked at Pamela, his grim face scaring her so much that she instinctively hid behind Aaron.
Pamela was just an ordinary college student; where had she ever seen such a scene?
"There are countless universes in this world, and countless universes are destroyed or born every moment."
"I don't want to manage them, and I can't manage them all."
"So I originally didn't want to interfere with the future of this world."
Keaton Batman's face first darkened, then brightened upon hearing this.
Aaron grabbed Pamela's wrist and pulled her out, "But who made 'you' appear and give me a pretty good gift?"
Keaton Batman didn't understand, and Pamela herself was quite puzzled.
The Green (DC Universe Life Force) of this world gathered all its power and consciousness, using Pamelaas its spokesperson, to come before Aaron.
This was a transaction; The Green (DC Universe Life Force) came instinctively, allowing Aaron to gain its power earlier.
Therefore, Aaron didn't mind making a move once.
Zod's arrival, for Keaton Batman, Supergirl, and the two The Flash, was an inevitable deadly outcome that could not be reversed, no matter how many times it was changed.
But for him, it was merely a trivial matter of a thought.
"First, we need to ensure that no more victims appear."
Aaron raised his index finger and pointed it at the distant sky.
His index finger was vaguely dark, yet it produced invisible ripples that spread in circles throughout the entire universe.
"I have already imprisoned the time of this world; no one can create other time branches on this timeline except for me."
This is the power of the Loom of Time combined with time itself. Although it cannot compare to the mighty 'Myriad Worlds Return to One' power of the primal furnace, nor is it as stable as the Time Anchor, it can effectively prevent the emergence of time branches.
0 for fresh flowers
Except for the Time Gods existing in the omniverse, the timeline of this world will remain constant from now on.
Of course, this world is so tiny that such a great god wouldn't even spare it a glance.
Keaton Batman was secretly alarmed. He really wanted to question Aaron's words, but looking at Aaron's confident expression, he strangely chose to believe him.
Unless he could develop time technology in these decades to verify the facts.
But clearly, the Batman of this world, though intelligent, did not possess the wisdom to develop time technology.
Not everyone is Reed Richards or Kang.
At this moment, Keaton Batman realized Aaron's power. He and the other person, both Earthlings, seemed to exist on different dimensions.
Just as ants and humans live in the same world, yet ants struggle to perceive the existence of humans.
Aaron continued, "Then, you need to kill Zod and his minions, which is the power to seal the deal."
Keaton Batman clearly had a contingency plan in mind, "I'll go find Kara now; as long as she receives sunlight at the precise time, then decades from now, she'll be able to kill Zod!"
"I will search for the so-called Kryptonite as a second contingency."
"Hmm, I can also pre-bury explosives at the site of Zod's spaceship landing… I'll find a way to get a few tens of millions of tons of nuclear bombs…"
With the biggest problem solved, Keaton Batman came up with several effective solutions in a matter of seconds.
A nuclear bomb that would kill a thousand enemies but cost eight hundred of his own, and a wide-net fishing plan like the Interstellar Self-Destructing Heavenly Thunder.
If one plan failed, there were multiple backups.
He didn't seek to kill the enemy with one blow, but as long as one of them succeeded, that would be victory.
Decades of time were enough to set up hundreds of killing moves.
Aaron was noncommittal about this, merely nodding faintly, "I will take Kara and Pamela with me. The spaceship can be yours. As for the rest... good luck."
Keaton Batman was somewhat regretful that Aaronwould take Kara and Pamela, as they were excellent combatants. After all, he heard from the idiot that in another universe, Superman killed Zod and saved the world.
It was a pity this world couldn't be repeated... But it didn't matter, he alone was enough!
It was good that Aaron took them away; Earth didn't need protection from people from other universes or other planets!
A storm of thoughts flashed through Keaton Batman's mind. When he came back to his senses, Aaron and Pamela were gone.
The surrounding crowd was still watching, but he could no longer hear any discussions about Aaron, as if he had been the only one lost in thought all along, and no one else had ever existed.
Keaton Batman was in a daze for a while, finding it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
He looked up at the sky.
How wonderful if all of this were fake?
But then, Keaton Batman saw a star streaking across the sky.
It was a normal meteor, but Keaton Batman had a thought:
That was Kara!
Everything was real?!
Their world exchanged Pamela and Kara as compensation for Aaron's exceptional intervention... It seemed it was time to start preparing!
