Chapter 344: Zamaron, Mad Love.
Blackest Night is only recorded in the Book of Oa.
That was a prophecy, a doomsday prophecy that made the Guardians of the Universe change their expressions and even disbelieve it.
The prophecy stated that one day in the future, forces representing seven different emotions would form their respective teams.
And they would attack each other, sparking the "War of the Lanterns."
Then, the Blackest Night would descend.
Black refers to the Black Lanterns, the ultimate power representing Death.
But when the Black Lanterns descend, it will devour all life!
Once upon a time,
the Guardians of the Universe debated this prophecy.
Ganthet and Sayd both believed the prophecy was true, and that darkness would descend in the future.
However, the other Guardians of the Universe thought the prophecy was nonsense, questioning how the Green Lantern Corps, then at its peak and invincible, could possibly fail?
After the debate, those Guardians of the Universe, in an act of self-deception, tore out the page recording the Blackest Night and forbade any discussion about it.
Until today,
although the Blackest Night has not yet arrived,
the Green Lantern Corps was annihilated by the combined forces of the three Lantern Corps, Oa fell silent, and the Guardians of the Universe scattered.
And then,
they discovered the Blue Lantern of Hope and came to Earth to seek hope and fight against the three Lantern Corps.
Ganthet and Sayd had a premonition that the night was approaching.
As they pondered how to interpret this prophecy, Aaron, strangely, already knew about it.
Logically, after that page of prophecy was torn and destroyed, no one except for a few of them should have known about the legend of the Blackest Night.
How did Aaron know?
"It doesn't matter how I know. What's important is, do the Blue Lanterns and Purple Lanterns only appear when the Blackest Night arrives?"
Ganthet and Sayd exchanged glances, uncertainly saying, "If the prophecy is true, then probably so?"
"If you want to find the Purple Lanterns and Blue Lanterns, you'll have to wait for the night to descend, but I think… it's best if that day never comes."
The Green Lantern Corps was wiped out before the night even descended.
What would happen if the night truly descended?
The Green Lantern Corps must be restored as soon as possible!
But the problem now is,
he also heard what Aaron just said.
The Green Lantern Corps fighting as a group is a debuff.
Does this mean that in the future, the manpower must be limited to three or fewer?
Sayd then said, "Purple Lanterns represent love, and Blue Lanterns represent compassion. Compassion is rare among intelligent species in the entire Multiverse, but the Heart of Love should still be relatively common."
"I think the Purple Lanterns should be easier to find."
"If you are willing to help us reignite Oa, we will mobilize people to help you find information about the Violet Lantern Corps."
"This way, we can also better counter the coming of the Blackest Night."
Aaron suddenly smiled at her words, then said meaningfully, "The Blackest Night? Is there a possibility that this world has never seen light?"
Ganthet and Sayd both frowned.
They were in the Dark Multiverse and did not know true light.
If Aaron hadn't maintained the balance of light and darkness, order and chaos for many years, it would be hard to say if this Multiverse would even still exist.
"Never mind. Do you know of a planet called Zamaron?"
Ganthet thought for a moment, then lightly tapped his finger, drawing a star map in front of him.
"Currently, there are eight planets named Zamaron in the entire Multiverse. They are located in Sector 2814, Sector 1314…"
Sayd thought of something, "Are you saying they might be located on Zamaron?"
Aaron shook his head.
In his memory, the Violet Lantern Corps headquarters was located on Zamaron, and the Corps' founders were female Oans who disagreed with the current Guardians of the Universe's practice of abandoning emotions.
Of course, that was in the Reality Universe.
This is the Dark Multiverse, which in some ways is the opposite of the Reality Universe, so no one can say whether the Violet Lantern Corps is still on Zamaron.
After all, this Multiverse is so dark; perhaps the Violet Lantern Corps, with its average combat strength, was long ago annihilated by other dark forces.
Aaron was all too clear about the true nature of these individuals who represent the Heart of Love, the Purple Lanterns.
They use the guise of love to commit atrocious acts of forced love and brainwashing.
Just think, how righteous can an organization composed entirely of women be?
Moreover, the Purple Lanterns correspond to the Red Lanterns of Rage; both are furthest from the emotional spectrum and are most affected by emotions.
Simply put, they are already a group of prejudiced and extreme women, and they become even more extreme.
For them, their minds are filled with nothing but love.
For love, they can do anything, even frequently capturing female members of the Yellow Lantern Corps, imprisoning them, and subjecting them to love-based brainwashing.
Perhaps they haven't even dated anyone, and you force them to skip the intermediate steps and directly become warriors of love; isn't that a joke!
For love, they simply don't care about good and evil.
Even the most heinous criminals or their enemies, as long as there is love in their hearts, they are willing to offer assistance.
And those who hinder love, even if they are on the side of justice, will be the enemies of the Blue Lanterns.
Does that sound somewhat familiar?
It's completely the DC version of a female-centric web novel!
For love, for a woman, or more accurately, for herself as the female protagonist, the male protagonist must betray his own people who helped and supported him, or sacrifice his country, or even the entire world.
Even though the male protagonist could save the world, at this moment, he must lose his mind and find the female protagonist, even if the entire world, including both the male and female protagonists, is about to be destroyed.
This is what love is, this is what a good man is; otherwise, this man is a scumbag and should be destroyed on all levels!
Even if the other party is a heinous drug lord, human trafficker, or a demon king who wants to destroy the world.
As long as he loves himself, that is justice, that is the sun.
As for the innocent people who were killed, and even one's own parents or best friends? What does that have to do with me?
Such an organization,
it's perfectly normal for it to be disliked and suppressed at any time!
If it weren't for the primal furnace, Aaron wouldn't want to deal with such extreme power.
He didn't want his women to become brain-dead individuals who only knew love.
Following the star map provided by Ganthet, Aaronsearched the entire Multiverse for the corresponding coordinates.
Until he saw a planet glowing with purple light.
"The Violet Lantern Corps has been found!"
Aaron's mind stirred, and with a wave of his hand, he directly sent all the women present to Zamaron.
"Wait, can you take us with you?"
Ganthet quickly spoke up, but Aaron ignored him.
At this moment,
on Zamaron, at the Violet Lantern Corps headquarters.
After Aaron and his companions appeared,
the central power battery of the planet suddenly erupted in brilliant, fervent light.
Immediately, over a dozen purple lights split off and flew towards the women around Aaron.
This was the response of love, fervent and passionate.
But Aaron did not allow the Purple Lanterns to be put on his women proactively.
As the Purple Lanterns approached, Aaron waved his hand and grabbed all of them.
"Who is stopping the fervent love?!"
Chapter 345: The Power of Love, Raya, the Woman of Destiny
Pictured: Raya, the Woman of Destiny.
Just as Aaron held all the Purple Lanterns in his hand, a cold female voice came from the depths of Zamaron.
Immediately, dozens of purple lights streaked across the sky.
Leading them was a blue-skinned woman, wearing a purple uniform, tall and even overly slender, with a pointed head.
Her red cape indicated that she was the leader of this team of Violet Lanterns.
This team of Violet Lanterns consisted of over thirty individuals.
Most of them were blue-skinned Zamarons.
Only one white-skinned woman stood out prominently.
She was positioned to the right of the Purple Lanternleader, clearly holding a high rank.
"Hmm? I can feel a unique power within you…"
"And…"
"Love?!"
"So much love!"
The Purple Lantern leader's gaze shifted to the women around Aaron, as if she had discovered a super treasure.
"Oh, lovely girls, I am Queen Agape, leader of the Violet Lantern Corps. I can feel the fervent heart within each of you."
"That is love, sincere and passionate love!"
"The Purple Lanterns are responding to you; this is a gift from love to you."
Queen Agape clenched her right fist, her middle finger emitting a captivating purple light.
The other Violet Lanterns beside her also raised their right hands simultaneously, their Purple Lanterns flashing, welcoming the new chosen ones.
A mechanical voice emerged faintly with the light.
"Intelligent lifeform locked."
"Zamaron… ??"
"That profound love contained within your heart."
"Welcome to the Star Sapphire Corps."
Queen Agape was somewhat surprised that the Violet Lantern Corps database could not ascertain the identities of these girls before her.
But that wasn't a big problem; as long as they understood love, it was fine.
She tried to manipulate the Purple Lanterns in Aaron's hand.
But no matter how she tried to summon the Purple Lantern energy, those Purple Lanterns remained unresponsive, as if… they were asleep?
Queen Agape's expression turned somewhat grim. "Man, are you trying to stop the response of love?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow, "They are my people."
Agape snorted, "When they come to Zamaron, they are our people!"
"The Star Sapphire Corps is willing to protect them and grant them the right to freedom!"
"Man, leave this place immediately! You are not worthy of love!"
The Purple Lantern Corps currently only recruits females, so Aaron is not among those invited.
"Is that so? Then why don't you ask them what they think?"
Aaron detested Agape's demeanor.
It was forced love again, acting recklessly under the guise of love.
And she dared to poach his harem?!
Agape was stunned for a moment, looking at Gwen Stacyand the others.
"Aaron is my beloved; what he says goes."
Gwen Stacy shrugged. She was actually quite resistant to the Purple Lanterns; after all, that thing greatly affected one's will.
Diana frowned slightly, "I listen to Aaron. He fully represents my thoughts."
"I also listen to my dear; you can go talk to him."
Pamela toyed with her red nails, which shone with a seductive, vibrant red.
Agape's expression grew even uglier.
Even the Purple Lantern members behind her exchanged glances, some even feeling angry.
"You… you all love the same man?!"
The only woman with white skin beside Agape looked utterly incredulous.
"How is that possible! Why can you accept such a thing? And with such intense love, enough to trigger a response from the Purple Lantern central core?!"
At this, Agape furiously said, "Raya, don't waste words with them. They are insulting love. They are not worthy of love's response!"
"Perhaps… it's simply because women are born to love, which is why they receive a response?"
"But that's no reason for them to defile love!"
Raya hesitated, "But Queen, perhaps we can first look at the love in their hearts? See how deep their love truly is?"
"No more comparisons. I am the Queen! I have the right to refuse anyone from joining the Star Sapphires!"
Queen Agape was unwilling to accept Gwen Stacy and the others.
A dozen or so girls, all loving the same man.
Even if it was love, it must be twisted and obsessive. She would not accept it!
Agape once again activated the violet lantern ring, "It's useless. The violet lantern rings were created by me. I can control them. You cannot stop me!"
Agape spoke threateningly, yet the violet lantern ringremained still.
Aaron casually toyed with the violet lantern ring, "So that's how it is. You are also from Oa? Oh no, it should be… Maltusians!"
"Tsk, no wonder they are all Little Blue Men. So they're related to the Guardians of the Universe."
"It's just that your strength is quite a bit weaker compared to theirs… Perhaps it's because you are female, inherently a bit weaker?"
"Oh, so you are just descendants of Maltusians, having lost a lot of power."
When Agape tried to control the violet lantern ring, Aaron noticed that these rings had backdoors left in them.
Not just the violet lantern rings, but the other Yellow Lantern, green light, and Red Lantern rings were all the same.
Because all power rings theoretically originated from Oa, or from Maltusian technology.
Just like how the United States sets backdoors in the weapons it sells,
In an emergency, the Guardians of the Universe and these Little Blue Men could forcibly control the power rings, at least influencing some functions.
As for why Oa was still destroyed by the combined forces of the three color Lantern Corps,
That, of course, was another one of The Batman Who Laughs's schemes.
With his capabilities, turning off or even replacing the backdoor would not be impossible.
And the violet lantern rings remained in their original state, hence they could be influenced by the Little Blue Men.
But in his hands, these little tricks were meaningless.
"Don't mention those fools to me. They are all heretics! They are all emotionless bastards!"
"Those without love are not even human!"
"Now, we wield love, a powerful force that they fear… They cannot sway our will. The world belongs to love!"
Queen Agape's face showed some anger. Clearly, she had no affection for her kin who had taken a completely opposite path.

"I'm not interested in your love-hate drama. I just want to know where the Predator is?" Aaron said calmly.
Gwen Stacy then quipped, "The Lantern Beast representing love is actually called the Predator. Who came up with that name? It's so ugly!"
"Predator, predator, predating love? Is this thing really love?"
"Congratulations, you actually guessed right!"
Aaron nodded, "The Predator is indeed predating love. It even competed with a man for a woman's love and ultimately lost."
"It's actually easy to understand: why are all Purple Lanterns female? Logically, shouldn't it be half male and half female?"
"What kind of warriors of love are they if couples can't be together?"
"What do you all say, am I right?"
Aaron looked at the Purple Lantern Corps. Just as he finished speaking, he thought of something else.
"Oh, I apologize, I forgot. Most of you probably don't have lovers. I'm afraid you don't even understand what you love, do you?"
As Aaron spoke, he looked at Raya.
"I know you. You should be from Xanshi, right? The Green Lantern Corps is gone, and your home world is still gone?"
Raya was the Woman of Destiny. In the original story, her home world was accidentally destroyed by Green LanternJohn.
From then on, Raya hated the Green Lantern Corps and, by coincidence, joined the Purple Lantern Corps, hoping to overthrow the Green Lanterns with the power of love.
Raya's expression was not good. "My home world… was destroyed by a group of alien races."
"And you, who sought revenge, do you have a lover now?" Aaron asked.
Raya didn't speak. She just wanted revenge; love was the last thing on her mind!
However, if I don't love, then why did I become a Purple Lantern on Zamaron?
A man's figure appeared in Raya's mind. She couldn't see him clearly, didn't know who he was.
Only Agape always said that man was the one she deeply loved, her destiny.
She was chasing that man, but she didn't know where he was.
For a moment, that man and Aaron overlapped.
Agape's mouth twitched. With Aaron's words, the morale of the Star Sapphires immediately dropped by half.
Love can be constructed. Those without love can also possess love.
This was what they were best at—forced love!
"Love isn't necessarily romantic love between a man and a woman. It can also be love for certain things, like the world?"
Aaron laughed directly when he heard that.
"Love the world? You mean by brainwashing people into believing they love, thus making them warriors of love?"
"Give it a rest! You don't understand love!"
"We don't understand? Do you?!" Agape was furious.
"Of course!"
Aaron raised a finger, "No one understands love more than I do. I am the Great Lord of Love—Aaron!"
A black hole appeared in his hand, swallowing and melting the violet lantern ring.
[Power of Love (Remnant): You control the power of affection. All love will transform into your strength. You can resurrect all those you love, or those who love you. Your love is so fervent that a single thought can destroy the world, and a single thought can also create a world of love.]
Chapter 346: Heart of Love, Connection of Love
[Heart of Love: You can use the power of love to enlighten (brainwash) or guide (crystal seal and instill) lost souls. At the same time, the more love there is between connected entities, the stronger the power of love that can be wielded.]
At this moment,
An incredibly profound purple light erupted from Aaron's body. The brilliant and fervent love caused the entire planet Zamaron to tremble continuously.
This star, enveloped by love and gathering the universe's power of love, was celebrating and cheering for the God of Love.
Every member of the Purple Lantern Corps could feel the joy of the star.
To be precise, it wasn't the will of the star, but the will of love.
Even the power of love within them became more vibrant.
"No, impossible!"
"I am the Queen of the Purple Lantern Corps! I am the chosen one of love!"
Queen Agape's blue face "837" paled slightly. She couldn't understand why Aaron, this man, could instantly trigger such a fervent response from the Purple Lanterns.
Aaron's power of love was so intense, it even surpassed the sum total of the Purple Lantern Corps!
"This is illogical!"
"This is perfectly logical!"
Aaron's right hand made a grasping motion, and a more condensed ball of purple light bloomed in his palm.
Immediately, violet lantern rings flew out one by one.
These were not the backdoor-laden rings crafted with Oan technology.
Instead, they were perfect violet lantern rings, specifically controlled by Aaron, bestowed with the essence of love, and free from emotional influence!
"Come, respond to my love, open your hearts to me!"
Aaron spoke softly, and the violet lantern rings actively flew towards Gwen Stacy and the others.
And actively slipped onto their left ring fingers.
Diana and the others did not stop them, because these were Aaron's rings.
They proudly held their heads high. After the violet lantern rings adorned their ring fingers, accompanied by dazzling purple light, their attire shifted towards purple, but it wasn't as monotonous as Zamaron's.
Each woman's battle suit changed according to her characteristics, personality, and will.
At the same time,
Their hearts seemed to beat more powerfully.
An invisible line connected them one by one, flowing with Aaron as the center.
What was transmitted along the line was love.
Aaron and they could all perceive each other's love through this connection.
And since they all deeply loved Aaron and he was the central figure, their love could perfectly stack. Thus, each person could unleash a power dozens of times greater than their individual love!
This was the Heart of Love. The more pure love connected, the stronger the power.
In addition to this,
The line also allowed them to hear each other's heartbeats at all times.
No matter how far apart, they could convey their thoughts through love.
They could even selectively share each other's life force.
As long as love was not severed, as long as the line still had remnants, then even if only one person remained alive, they could perfectly resurrect the others through this bond of love!
Love is subjective; love is illogical.
On this point, a certain Moon Worshipper should be the clearest.
Even mastering the true logic of world operation cannot contend with subjective love.
"Do you feel it? This is our love for you!"
Circe clutched her chest, gazing at Aaron with deep affection.
Only Dove, Hawk, who had joined later and hadn't yet integrated into the group, and Plastic Girl Rita Fal, hadn't received the call of love.
They watched their other sisters, their eyes red with jealousy.
However, they were merely helpers conscripted by Aaronto resist the darkness.
Aaron hadn't had time to favor them, leading them to feel a strong sense of being out of place.
"I feel your love for me, and I will respond to you!"
"Experience love deeply; it will protect you and become your strongest weapon!"
Raya and the other Purple Lantern members were dumbfounded.
Isn't love supposed to be one-on-one?
How can it be N to 1?
This is illogical!
What kind of decent person is so benevolent and affectionate? Shouldn't he be a scumbag?
Love... why would love respond to a scumbag?
At this moment,
They felt their worldview shattered.
Agape couldn't accept this fact.
"Your love is false, illusory, a low-quality fake!"
"Only our pure and innocent love is the strongest and truest!"
Agape proudly held up her power ring; its light flickered, seemingly responding to her, agreeing with her.
"Enough! I won't allow you to insult our love for Aaron!"
Hearing this, Shitahira Reika, who was usually timid, stepped forward.
Yamashiro An also stood beside her, glaring angrily: "If you're so capable, come and try! Let's see whose love is stronger: your hypocritical, forced love, or our sincere and fervent love!"
Raya, the Fated Woman, eagerly stepped forward, "I'll try with you!"
Although Raya was not a Zamaronian, had no Maltusian bloodline bonus, and couldn't even comprehend the love within her heart,
she still relied on her inner hatred and powerful, skilled combat techniques to rise through the ranks and become a standout in the Violet Lantern Corps.
Before other Earth women joined the Purple Lanterns, she was the Violet Lantern's second-in-command, second only to Queen Agape.
Queen Agape didn't stop her, silently watching Rayacharge forward.
Shitahira Reika bravely stepped up, and the two began to fight using only the power of love.
Raya's combat memory was quite impressive. In comparison, Shitahira Reika was just a big-breasted celebrity; even if she had been trained a bit by the gantzgame, she was only good at shooting a pistol.
Occasionally trained by Aaron, she learned to put righteousness before family, but her fighting skills were still a bit lacking.
However, her stats were quite powerful.
Even though she had only just joined the Violet Lantern Corps, she could easily unleash dozens of times Raya's strength.
Coupled with the Love Connection, Shitahira Reika could receive prompts from her other sisters, constantly improving her proficiency with the Purple Lantern.
After less than a minute of fighting, Raya was sealed by Shitahira Reika with purple crystals.
Even as Raya continuously mobilized the power of love to force a breakthrough,
the huge numerical gap between them could not be compensated by Raya's will alone.
The Violet Lantern Corps members were shocked and looked at Queen Agape, awaiting her instructions.
Agape forced herself to calm down, "This doesn't prove anything..."
"Bitch, still talking tough! I think this is the hardest part of your whole body!"
Compared to the high quality of her other sisters, Firecracker wouldn't indulge Queen Agape.
"Losing is losing. If you want to argue, then you come and try it yourself!"
"How can your love, full of impurities, understand true love?!"
Chapter 347: The Fated Woman's Love, Ugly Rejection of the Violet Lantern Corps
Queen Agape's face turned dark from being retorted.
The other Violet Lantern Corps members did not step forward; instead, they looked at each other due to what Shitahira Reika and Firecracker had said.
At this moment,
Shitahira Reika sensed something.
Suddenly, she let out a scornful laugh.
"So the Violet Lantern Corps' second-in-command is just a fool whose memory has been altered and brainwashed by love."
"Fated Woman? Heh, she's just a pathetic worm who lost her home planet and her people."
"How would she know what love is?"
"Yet you forced 'destiny' into her mind, making her your most loyal enforcer..."
"Violet Lantern of Love? Heh!"
After Shitahira Reika used love to perceive Raya's memories, she felt utterly disgusted by the actions of the Zamarons.
As someone who had participated in the gantz game, she had been rescued by Aaron with great difficulty.
What she hated most was the so-called 'destiny' that was imposed upon her.
Using 'destiny' as an excuse to force others to kill—
Such organizations should all be destroyed!
Yamashiro An felt the same way. Hearing Shitahira Reika's words, she made no attempt to hide her disdain for the Violet Lantern Corps.
Agape's face grew even more uncomfortable.
"You know nothing, understand nothing!"
"This world lacks love, which is why it is so savage, so dark, so disgusting!"
"I did impose love, but it was for their own good!"
"Without love, Raya would be consumed by hatred until one day she fell into darkness!"
"But now, she has love, and she will fight for love, fight for the world!"
"Only when the world is full of love, everyone will understand and accept each other, thus achieving peace without war."
"This is great love! It is the most realistic way to save the world!"
Queen Agape spoke rapidly, constantly defending her actions.
"Do you all think so too?"
Aaron looked at the other members of the Violet Lantern Corps with amusement.
These Zamaronians remained silent.
"Oh, it seems you all know your love is false, but you are unwilling to admit your choice was wrong."
"How can those who don't understand love truly grasp its greatness when they forcibly control it?"
"Violet Lantern Corps, you don't understand love!"
Every word Aaron spoke felt like a heavy hammer striking their hearts.
No matter how unwilling they were to believe it,
they couldn't explain why Shitahira Reika and the others, having just gained the power of love, could instantly surpass them, these veteran warriors.
As the power of love, even if there was a difference, how could it be so vast?
Could it be... truly because they didn't understand love but forcibly possessed it, were rejected by love, and couldn't master the true power of love?
"Nonsense!"
"Come on!"
"Let me try and see how powerful your so-called love is!"
Queen Agape swept her cape, raising her dazzling violet lantern ring.
She murmured:
"Fear and confusion, two hearts entwined,"
"Blackest Night, no sleep for one of a kind."
"Slender finger slips into the ring, transforming her face,"
"The world's lone love, filled with purple grace!"
As the Purple Lantern oath resonated,
the power of love that Queen Agape could control grew denser, far exceeding the Fated Woman's power.
She raised her hand and created purple crystals, then formed them into purple spears that she threw.
Firecracker stepped forward, clasped her hands, and a purple crystal wall rose from the ground.
The thick crystal wall blocked all the thrown spears, and also blocked Agape's pursuing purple tornado.
Agape was very surprised, then gritted her teeth and pushed with both hands.
A torrent of wild energy burst forth, accompanied by a roar, heavily striking the purple crystal wall.
But the purple crystal wall remained motionless.
Firecracker made no move to counterattack.
She merely maintained the purple crystal wall, glancing back at Shitahira Reika.
"How much longer? Let them see true love!"
Shitahira Reika stood before the purple crystal, the Fated Woman still maintaining her previous posture.
"Fated Woman Raya, a pitiful person who doesn't understand love, come and possess true love with us!"
"Join us, and you will possess cosmic power!"
Shitahira Reika altered the vague object of the Fated Woman's love in her mind.
The person she vaguely loved, who was previously unclear, began to change into Aaron's appearance.
As the image became clearer, Raya's heart beat more powerfully.
Thump-thump... thump-thump... an invisible line emerged from Raya's chest, connecting directly to Aaron.
Aaron saw it but did not stop it. This was the Love Connection, which allowed him to share the power of love with his women.
When the channel connected, the love of the others surged through the channel into Raya's body.
Raya instantly transformed into a purple sun, and the surging, tidal energy immediately burst the purple crystal!
"I understand now what love is!"
Raya opened her beautiful eyes; after a moment of confusion, her gaze softened as she looked at Aaron.
"You already knew all this. How do you feel?"
Aaron chuckled softly.
Raya pursed her lips, "My destiny was fake, and my love was illusory. The Zamarons deceived me, brainwashing me with this ridiculous ring."
She removed the violet lantern ring from her right hand, and her purple battle suit reverted to its original green.
"I was trapped within my own body, made to lose myself and act according to their will."
But today…"
"You made that false shadow solidify. In fact, compared to an illusory person, the real you is actually quite good."
Raya extended a hand, and the violet lantern ring fell due to gravity.
"Can I receive your true love? Can it… respond to me?"
"Of course."
A purple light flew from Aaron's heart, condensing into the shape of a power ring in mid-air, and actively slipped onto Raya's left ring finger.
The moment it was put on, Raya's energy surged again, and many muscle memories and knowledge, as if granted by heaven and earth, flooded her mind.
Those were techniques for using the power of love, which could help her better tap into her own strength.
"Agape is yours. Avenge your grudges, settle your scores."
"Let her experience what fate is."
Firecracker and Shitahira Reika simultaneously withdrew their hands, and the purple crystal wall shattered like a bubble.
Raya clenched her left hand and, under Agape's shocked and angry gaze, threw a punch!
Bang!!
Agape was instantly sent flying backward. Even though she had desperately mobilized energy to form a shield, it didn't even hold for a second!
This was the difference in the quality and quantity of energy. Her proud power of love was like a baby facing an adult, utterly powerless to retaliate.
"Agape, this is the power of love, the true source you all seek!"
Raya glanced at her, then looked away.
Raya (II) Yin III Wu Qi Jiuliu Er obediently came and stood behind Aaron, looking at Aaron's back, her eyes filled with a hazy, intoxicated expression.
Agape lay on the ground, disheveled, looking up at the purple pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
All her ambitions turned to ashes at this moment.
At this time,
Ganthet and Sayd arrived belatedly.
"Stop, everyone, don't fight anymore!"
"We are all on the same side; let's not hurt our camaraderie."
After Ganthet arrived, he saw Agape's disheveled state and The Purple Lantern Corps' dejected, low morale.
Then he looked at the high-spirited and disdainful Crystal Palace members.
Ganthet was silent for a moment. "I think we should unite to jointly face the possible Blackest Night and the true mastermind?"
As he spoke, he looked at Aaron with an inquiring gaze.
"No need."
Aaron was too lazy to carry people to victory.
With such a group of incompetent teammates,
If he allied with them, a sure win could be reversed.
He would rather bring a group of tools who only shout "666" than a group of pig-headed teammates.
The Purple Lantern Corps?
Heh!
Before Ganthet could reply, Aaron led the way out.
"Wait, Your Excellency Aaron."
The Purple Lanterns who had followed Agape suddenly stepped forward.
"Um… can we follow you?"
Aaron glanced at this group of Little Blue Men and directly refused, "No!"
The Little Blue Men were all incredibly dejected.
They genuinely wanted to experience what love was, true love.
Agape couldn't give them true love, but Aaron could.
Unfortunately,
They couldn't follow Aaron… Chapter 348: Unlucky Green Arrow, Packaged in One Go
The picture shows Thea.
"What a pity. If The Purple Lantern Corps were all brought to Earth, it would greatly enhance Earth's self-defense capabilities, wouldn't it?"
Gwen Stacy said with some regret.
Aaron rolled his eyes at her. "Those Little Blue Men? They have no strength, no ability, and aren't pleasing to the eye. I'm not that desperate."
Gwen Stacy giggled, "Got it, I was just saying."
Sersi, who had been a background character, interjected, "Speaking of which, aren't we the true Purple LanternCorps?"
"Hmm~ That makes a lot of sense!"
Gwen Stacy pondered for a moment and then nodded.
Diana said with a hint of regret, "It's just a pity that the power of the violet lantern ring cannot be popularized on Paradise Island…"
"Stop!"
Aaron rolled his eyes. "I'm not someone who takes anything and everything, okay!"
Although he could easily take on ten thousand and defeat all the Amazon Warriors.
But, he still preferred higher quality.
If he really wanted women, with just a word from him, women from countless universes would actively come to him.
He couldn't even manage a hundred a day, and they wouldn't be the same ones!
"But we still don't have enough numbers!"
Gwen Stacy counted on her fingers.
"Aaron's Group alone has more than a dozen people in the secretarial office, which is comparable to our numbers here."
"Not to mention there are several people in the villa area, and there's a little pet mantis, a private Flight Attendant, and those few wild flowers…"
"My dear, are you… not up to it anymore?"
Gwen Stacy's eyes held a hint of inquiry, especially her gaze, which was observing a certain place.
Aaron rubbed Gwen Stacy's head. "Are you questioning me? Then you come alone tonight."
Gwen Stacy scoffed, "You only bully a little girl like me."
Dove, Hawk, and Plastic Girl, who had been acting as background, stirred restlessly.
In a group of over a dozen people, the three of them were excluded.
This feeling was not pleasant.
Even the Woman of Fate, who had just entered, had already taken the lead.
How could this be?
"Don't we just need helpers? We've already found them!"
Sara, the White Canary, held her head high like a proud white swan.
Dove, Hawk, and the other two instantly brightened. Just as they were about to step forward to show off, Sersispoke.
"Hehe, while you were going to The Boys' world, we also scouted a few targets~!"
The eyes of Dove, Hawk, and the other two instantly dimmed.
So it wasn't us!
Aaron then remembered that Sara had mentioned going to the Green Arrow universe to bring back a few people.
He had specifically instructed Yamashiro An and Circe to help them.
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you have some leads? Who did you find?"
Sara pursed her lips and said mysteriously, "Who else? The first one is, of course, my foolish sister, Laurel."
"She really doesn't learn. If I don't go find her, she might be influenced by that Green Hat Man again."
"And then there's that guy's sister, Thea. Tsk, speaking of which, she's really tender, both pure and alluring."
Aaron's heart tightened, and he glared at Sara as a warning.
He almost forgot that in the original work, Sara was bisexual, a lesbian.
However, the Sara here had already been thoroughly conquered by him.
Aside from Aaron, she would never again be interested in other men or women.
Rough, long, and big were not a joke.
Although Aaron knew this, he still wanted Sara to be more proper.
If not proper, then only in certain special circumstances.
Sara shrank her head, seemingly realizing her actions were inappropriate, then defiantly puffed out her chest.
"And then, there's the Green Hat Man's future assistant and wife, Felicity. I just showed her your picture, and she was completely smitten."
"I also helped a poor lamb named Helena right a wrong against her family."
"And conveniently took down a Triad leader named Chen Nawei, codenamed Porcelain. She's just waiting for you to enlighten her."
Sara reported her achievements, and it must be said, the results were very fruitful.
Aaron thought it would end there.
However, Sara then uttered a name that shocked him. "There's one more you'd never guess."
"/Q*un Linglingqi Basi's wife + 5V! Who?"
"Mia Queen!"
"…"
"The Green Hat Man's daughter? And whose?"
Honestly, Aaron was startled.
In the original work, Mia was Green Arrow and Felicity's daughter.
But now,
When Sara went to that universe, everything had already changed and solidified.
Felicity could not have a relationship with Oliver.
Sara shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe it was his one-night stand, Samantha, or maybe another one-night stand."
"Anyway, except for his sister and his mother, and his ex-girlfriend's mother, anyone else is possible."
"You know, among the women he's met, few have escaped his grasp. He's a rabbit who only eats the grass near his burrow."
Aaron's mouth twitched. Don't say it, Sara's description was truly vivid.
Green Arrow was indeed a scoundrel comparable to, or even surpassing, Tony Stark.
Aside from those he couldn't ethically pursue, any other woman who appeared might have been with him.
At least, that was the case in the TV series.
Thinking of this, Aaron looked at Sara strangely. "You hate him that much?"
Sara waved her hand indifferently. "It's alright. He almost got me killed, then got my sister killed in the future, and then just walked away to mess with other people."
Sara feigned indifference, yet the hatred in her eyes was completely undisguised.
"Anyway, he's Nickname, I'm sure he won't mind these things."
"Besides, we're all free-spirited individuals, we shouldn't be so petty..."
At this, not just Aaron, but even the other women looked at Sara with extreme strangeness.
You've already packaged and sent off his future girlfriend, capable assistant, sister, and daughter to others—you're just short of bringing his mother over too! How dare you say such things?
They even suspected that if Aaron said, "I'm hungry," Saramight actually get Nickname a new father...
"You..."
Aaron opened his mouth, then shook his head, "Forget it, do as you please."
What else could he say? Sara had already given him women; what more could he ask for?
As for Nickname's current feelings... why would he care about a grown man?
"Find an opportunity to bring them over; let them get acquainted first."
Aaron said casually.
Sara made an OK gesture, "No problem, leave it to me, you can rest assured!"
It better be... Aaron said nothing, deciding to have Dianakeep a close eye on Sara later.
He understood now; he shouldn't have let the "evil witch" Circe and the "housewife" Yamashiro An follow along in the first place.
The former was probably still scheming in the background, while the latter was a good girl, submissive to whatever came her way.
A simple phrase like, "It's all for Aaron," could easily silence Yamashiro An, and even make her actively help.
As for the others... The women from The Boys were out of the question; their moral standards needed improvement, probably even lower than Sara's.
Gwen Stacy and Pamela were also out of the question.
Especially Gwen Stacy, who was practically an eccentric Harley Quinn, always stirring up trouble.
Only Diana was relatively normal and reliable, worthy of important tasks.
Donna was even a bit lacking.
At this moment,
In the depths of the Dark Multiverse,
A black figure appeared.
"What a strange universe, a strange Earth, but luckily, everything is within my plan..."
Chapter 349: Ocean Crisis, Laurel
Aaron originally planned to stay on Themyscira for two days.
However, the depths of the ocean had been restless recently; the five-nation alliance of Atlantis was primarily fighting the Trench, and they couldn't spare too many people for a while.
So Atlanna came to him, seeking some help.
Diana, considering that the two sides were once allies, volunteered to lend a hand.
With this, Donna and Artemis also expressed their desire to go along.
Seeing that Diana couldn't keep an eye on Sara,
After some consideration, Aaron decided to go and supervise personally.
After all, they were his future women; it was only right to take some time to look after them.
At the same time, he also planned to visit the black-stockinged Kara along the way.
After thinking for a moment,
He simply brought the ten-year-old Kara along with him.
As for Mela, who was of a similar age, after Aaronendowed her with some Super Strength, Super Defense, Psychic Immunity, and Water Control, she temporarily went with Atlanna to deal with the Ocean Crisis.
The Green Arrow party consisted of Aaron, Sara, young Kara, Gwen Stacy, and Raven.
The others remained on Themyscira, guarding against other potential crises.
Green Arrow Universe, Star City.
"So this is the Green Arrow Universe? It doesn't look particularly special."
Circe looked around; there was no difference here from her original universe.
"It's not special enough yet, but in a few years, it will become unique due to certain events."
Aaron surveyed his surroundings, confirming that this universe was not a merged universe.
Before the major event Crisis on Infinite Earths, that is, before the Anti-Monitor caused trouble,
The Green Arrow Universe itself didn't have many supernatural beings.
But after dealing with the Anti-Monitor, the Green Arrow, Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, and the Legends of Tomorrow universe would merge into one universe.
Gwen Stacy, at some point, put on her clear glasses, dressed as a female teacher, and pulled out a notebook, saying earnestly:
"Is it Crisis on Infinite Earths? It's said that it requires the cooperation of seven paragons, with the help of the cosmic deity Spectre, to barely defeat it."
"Crisis on Infinite Earths? Seven paragons? What are those?"
Sara keenly picked up on the key points.
Gwen Stacy proceeded to briefly explain Crisis on Infinite Earths.
"There's a terrifying entity in the Multiverse called the Anti-Monitor, who unleashed an anti-matter wave, attempting to destroy all Reality Universes and transform them into anti-matter universes."
"According to the Monitor's prophecy, you need to unite multiple universes and persuade The Flash, Supergirl Kara, Batwoman, Martian Manhunter, Atom, Kingdom Come Superman, and... you, to fight against him."
"This war affected numerous universes; except for Earth-666, all universes were destroyed by the anti-matter wave."
"Oh, it's worth mentioning that the Titans Universe, Earth-9, was one of the first five universes destroyed by the anti-matter wave."
"Of course, in the end, you still defeated the Anti-Monitor and created a new world merged from the Multiverse!"
Sara was greatly alarmed upon hearing this and quickly looked to Aaron for confirmation.
Aaron nodded, "She's right, except for one small detail: Lex Luthor used the Book of Destiny to usurp Kingdom Come Superman's paragon status, replacing him as one of the seven saviors."
Sara's eyes shifted, and she murmured, "Book of Destiny? So I just need to find the Book of Destiny to easily create seven paragons?"
Despite knowing the future fate of this universe, Saradidn't want to follow the established path.
Instead of spending time slowly uniting Superheroes from different universes, why not do it in one go and use the Book of Destiny to transform her good sisters into paragons?
This would effectively avoid differing opinions and allow them to unite and fight the enemy together!
Raven's expression remained unchanged, her voice carrying a hint of deeper meaning.
"My universe was also destroyed? The Anti-Monitor... I'll remember him!"
Miss Raven was unhappy, and the consequences would be severe!
Now that she had inherited Trigon's power, although she didn't know how powerful the Anti-Monitor was, she believed she also had the strength to fight!
Trigon was, after all, the strongest interdimensional demon king; if he were to truly descend upon the Reality Universe, he could also threaten the Infinite Multiverse!
Strictly speaking, he might not be weaker than the Anti-Monitor.
Young Kara blinked her shining eyes.
She wasn't interested in these matters; her only concern was the other Supergirl Kara that Gwen Stacy mentioned.
She heard from Aunt Circe that that Kara looked very alluring in black stockings.
She just wondered who was stronger compared to herself?
It should be her, right, since she had only been exposed to the sun for ten years?
Young Kara felt a bit insecure.
She could only unleash millions of tons of strength now, and she was still a child; was she too weak?
Young Kara's thoughts went unnoticed,
Sara suddenly noticed something amiss, "Wait, why was Earth-666 fine?"
Gwen Stacy's expression was peculiar, "Perhaps... no one dared to provoke it? Lucifer is playing life on that Earth."
Sara said, "Oh," then hesitated, "What about us, I mean Themyscira?"
Gwen Stacy couldn't answer this time.
Aaron explained, "Don't worry about those things; that's The Demon Dragon Barbatos's territory, and the Anti-Monitor can't affect the Dark Multiverse yet."
"And..."
Aaron said meaningfully, "It's one thing for him to deal with the Monitor, but if he comes for me, he's just unlucky."
Upon hearing this, Sara immediately relaxed.
She thought he was so powerful; turns out he was just a small fry!
No problem then, keep the music playing and the dancing going!
Thinking of this, Sara hummed a tune and led the way.
Meanwhile, in an unremarkable apartment in Star City.
Middle-aged Quentin Lance was a Star City police captain, with a wife and two beautiful daughters.
Before that incident, Quentin Lance's family lived a happy life, his career was smooth, and his income was above middle class.
However, all of this was shattered because of that playboy named Oliver.
First, his eldest daughter Laurel got involved with Oliver, and although he nipped it in the bud as soon as it appeared,
His younger daughter Sara foolishly made the same mistake.
The first time she met Oliver and went out to sea, a shipwreck occurred that very night, with no survivors!
His younger daughter died, and his elder daughter became a rebellious teenager, which unfortunately led this middle-aged man into a different kind of midlife crisis.
However, years passed,
Oliver actually came back!
Why didn't that scoundrel just die? Why was no one going to deal with such a menace?
Quentin Lance cursed bitterly, and then that day, Laurelreturned, saying she had seen Sara.
She had also fallen for another man.
What was even more infuriating was that the man was Sara Lance's man!
"Damn it! Do my daughters have to be obsessed with the same man?"
Quentin Lance smoked two packs of cigarettes, still unable to understand why things had developed so bizarrely.
He was so brave and witty, yet both of his daughters were attracted to good looks, and they always fell for the same man.
Was this logical?
Squatting near the security door, like a guardian deity, Quentin Lance furiously threw down his cigarette butt and stomped on it fiercely.
"Being handsome makes you special? If you're so capable, come to my house, and see if I don't deal with you!"
"You want to woo my daughters? Heh, in your dreams!"
Quentin Lance decided to give the other party a piece of his mind.
He actually hated abusing his power.
But now, he didn't mind letting the other party experience a small indulgence of authority.
Ding-dong — Yi Ling Yi Qi 4 Wu Chu Si I X (8)
Quentin Lance looked at the security door,
Just as he was about to make a move, Laurel, who rarely showed up, burst through the door, her face radiant with youthful vigor.
"Oh no, the blonde is here!"
Quentin Lance's expression changed drastically. With the agility he had gained from years as an old police chief, he blocked Laurel's path, his voice low, "Let me handle this!"
With that, he pulled the door open.
In that instant, he seemed possessed by the Punisher, ready to deliver divine retribution to his enemies at any moment!
Until he saw Sara Lance's familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Quentin Lance's eyes immediately welled up, something struggling to break free.
"Sara?"
"Father, long time no see!"
Sara smiled.
Just as Quentin was about to say something, Laurelsuddenly seized the opportunity and darted out, heading straight for the man behind Sara.
"Damn it, I was careless this time, I didn't dodge!"
"Wait, it's Sara! She's distracting me!"
With the blonde in front, Quentin couldn't bother with pleasantries and immediately looked at the man who had run off with his two daughters.
When he saw Aaron, Quentin actually felt a bit ashamed.
"He's too handsome! How can there be such a handsome man in this world?"
Quentin Lance, who himself had been a handsome young man in his youth, felt at this moment that his very existence was a waste of air.
But then, Quentin's mind was left with only two words: "It's over!"
Chapter 350: Oliver's Heartbreak, Felicity
Pictured is Felicity.
Inside the apartment,
Quentin Lance sat on a small stool, staring intently at Aaron, his peripheral vision sweeping over Laurel and Sara, who sat on either side of him.
As well as Gwen Stacy, Raven, and little Kara.
Quentin Lance felt his life was bleak, with no future in sight.
"Scum, too much of a scum!"
"Not only did he take both sisters, but he also brought along his mistresses, and even a cute little girl who he didn't know was his daughter or sister."
Quentin Lance's mind flashed with the thought that Laurel might be mistress number five, or even number N.
He forcibly suppressed these thoughts.
At this moment, he, as the host, could only sit on a small stool, while Aaron and the others, as guests, all sat on the large sofa.
It wasn't that Quentin wanted to do this; it was mainly because a daughter who marries off is like spilled water—her elbow bends outwards!
Quentin Lance decided to maintain his last shred of dignity. This was the last bit of authority he had as a father-in-law.
If he didn't give Aaron a warning, he felt he wouldn't be able to resist pulling out his shotgun!
"Aaron, right? May I ask your age?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow: "Twenty-six?"
Quentin Lance nodded, "So… what is your current job? And what is your annual salary?"
"My job… I'm a boss."
Quentin's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking, "This isn't good."
"As for annual salary? I don't deal with annual salaries; I get dividends. I can't really say how much, maybe seventy or eighty trillion?"
Aaron hadn't paid much attention to the development of Aaron's Group, but he figured it definitely brought in several trillion us dollars annually.
Gwen Stacy's Crystal Palace Group also had considerable income, but he didn't care about the exact amount.
"How much is that?"
Quentin Lance sat up straight.
"Just a few trillion, or maybe ten trillion, but that's not important. Everyone knows I'm not interested in money."
Aaron spoke truthfully, without any hint of arrogance.
Quentin Lance subconsciously thought Aaron was joking.
"Several trillion us dollars!"
"The world's third largest economy only has a GDP of three or four trillion us dollars a year. You're truly as rich as a nation!"
"But if there really were such an amazing person in this world, how could he be unknown?"
"Fake, it must be fake!"
Quentin Lance wanted to say something,
Sara seemed to know what he was thinking and echoed, "My dear is right, he is very rich, much more than ten trillion."
Quentin Lance fell silent.
He had originally wanted to put Aaron in his place but ended up helping him make a grand impression instead.
Honestly,
Quentin Lance suddenly felt tired.
Aaron was handsome and as rich as a nation. For a moment, he even felt that his daughters had married above their station.
For a man like him, wouldn't getting women be easy?
A single hair from him was worth over one hundred thousand us dollars!
The gap between people was simply larger than any dog!
He should bless Laurel and Sara.
At least Aaron was a hundred times better than Oliver!
Since they were choosing a rich, handsome, and powerful man, why not choose the strongest one?
Quentin Lance gave up, changing the subject, "So, what are you all planning to do next?"
Aaron thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Probably travel to various places and experience different cultures."
Traveling to different worlds, that's also a form of tourism.
As for human customs… the charms of different women vary.
Naturally, they needed to be thoroughly enjoyed and experienced.
Quentin Lance naturally didn't understand the deeper meaning of this sentence.
Hearing this, he nodded with relief.
"Alright, you take them both to have a good time, relax, thank you for the trouble."
Aaron smiled and nodded, "No problem. By the way, are you interested in a change of job?"
Quentin Lance refused without thinking, "No, I'm already used to being a police officer. Star City is quite good."
In fact, at Quentin Lance's age, he was already doing quite well.
As the Chief of Police in Star City, and head of the operations division, he wielded significant power.
Above him were only the Deputy Police Commissioner and the Police Commissioner, who was the Chief.
Although he could be transferred to a state-level police department, there was no need for that.
Being a local power had its advantages.
"What I mean is, you can still be a police officer, for example, the Chief of Police in Starling City."
"Starling City?"
Quentin Lance was a bit confused. Hadn't Starling City been renamed Star City?
Moreover, the Chief of Police was in his prime, and there were still people above him.
Although Quentin was confident in his abilities, honestly, he lacked the experience and connections.
Aaron said meaningfully, "Yes, but that's Starling City in another world."
"Hmm?"
Before Quentin could fully grasp the situation, he suddenly felt a dizzy spell. When he reappeared, he was already in another world.
"It's done, Sara, Laurel, do you want to help your father get familiar with the new world?"
Aaron looked at Sara and Laurel.
Since he knew the Crisis on Infinite Earths would happen in the future, he naturally had to prepare in advance.
Take away those who should be taken away.
As for what would happen to these universes afterward, what did it have to do with him?
Sara and Laurel exchanged glances, somewhat hesitant.
Although both, especially Laurel, had a lot to say, there would be plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush.
Sara said, "How about this, let my sister go. I still need to help find others."
Laurel had originally wanted to leave, but upon hearing this, she thought, "No, you're trying to sneak away from me again!"
After the incident with Oliver, Laurel was very wary of Sara.
"Then forget it. Didn't you say there's someone to meet us in that world? I won't go and cause trouble, after all, I'm not familiar with that world either."
Quentin Lance naturally didn't know that his two daughters had abandoned him for a man.
"OK, whatever you two want."
0 for fresh flowers
Aaron was indifferent to their choice; after all, he wasn't his father.
Just a father-in-law. He had just killed another father-in-law not long ago.
With that, Aaron raised his hand, took out a pill, gripped it with his five fingers, and directly swallowed and absorbed it.
Trigon brand nutritional supplement, quite good.
Raven glanced at it, feeling that her senses were malfunctioning.
Trigon was still inside the ruby,
It was impossible for there to be a second Trigon in the world.
Then, led by Sara, the group headed to the next location.
Felicity's tech company.
When they arrived there,
They not only saw Felicity but also two unexpected people.
A cute, vibrant girl in a black dress.
A man in a black suit, with what he thought was a charming smile, was talking to Felicity.
"Smoak, interested in going out together?"
"No interest."
Felicity said with a cold face.
"Haha, actually, I didn't mean anything else. It's mainly that Thea wants to be friends with you."
The man wasn't embarrassed by the rejection at all; instead, he became even more interested in Felicity.
Thea rolled her eyes and said nothing.
Felicity stopped at his words and glanced up.
Mr. Queen, I have a boyfriend. If it's not important, please don't bother me."
Oliver's smile remained warm, "Is that so? But as far as I know, you haven't had contact with any other men."
"Who told you that?" Felicity frowned.
"Your colleagues."
Oliver suddenly thought of something and continued, "Oh, by the way, there's something you should know. I've fully acquired this company, so from now on, I am your boss."
"Do you have any suggestions for your new boss?"
Felicity's movements paused. She turned, pulled out a document from a pile, and scribbled a string of words.
"Yes, I'm resigning!"
Oliver blinked, finally unable to smile.
"We can talk. I think highly of you. I'm going to promote you, give you a raise. The company needs you!"
"But I don't need the company!"
Felicity threw the resignation letter directly at Oliver's face, grabbed her bag, and left without looking back.
As a high-achiever who graduated from MIT, her computer skills were quite formidable.
She was known as a computer genius.
She had no shortage of work.
Oliver quickly reached out, "Wait!"
Felicity paused.
Oliver was overjoyed. There was still room for negotiation. It seemed Felicity had seen his sincerity!
However,
Just then,
Felicity's bag fell in freefall, and she ran forward in surprise, rushing towards another man.
Oliver's heart shattered...
Chapter 351: Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds and Helena
Pictured: Huntress Helena.
"Felicity, I didn't lie to you, did I? This is Aaron, the great Savior, God-Slayer, Star-Forging God, god of miracles..."
"Of course, he's also the most handsome and charming man in the entire universe!"
Sara, full of pride, held Aaron's left hand.
Felicity nodded, "He's even more handsome than in the photos!"
"Hello, my name is Felicity Smoak."
Aaron smiled at her, "I know you, a computer genius. I've been watching you for a long time."
"Oh, really?"
Felicity's face flushed, "So even a great deity would cast a glance at an ordinary girl."
"Ordinary? No, you are very special. Your courage is commendable."
"Hehe."
Felicity's face was very red, making one want to take a bite.
Oliver, who heard their conversation from behind, felt insulted.
It sounded like,
Aaron and Felicity had never met before.
They had only seen photos.
Yet they had already secretly pledged themselves to each other.
And she completely disregarded his pursuit, despite him being rich, handsome, and successful, instead showing such enthusiasm for a man she had just met.
And he was a liar!
No,
"837" What did he, Oliver Queen, lack compared to Aaron?
Handsome?
"It seems there's a slight difference, but I'm not bad either!"
Money?
"Just looking at this fabric... it must be custom-made, but in Star City, no one is richer than I am!"
Witty?
Oliver had dated countless women; no one understood a woman's heart better than he did.
And Aaron's tricks? He just sneered when he heard them; they were nothing new!
"Thea, who do you think is better, him or me?"
"..."
Oliver frowned, not getting an answer from Thea for a long time.
He turned to look,
Only to see Thea drooling, eyes wide, as if smitten.
Oliver's mouth twitched violently, "Thea?!"
"Ah? Oh! You and him?"
Thea said without the slightest hesitation, "You and him are even less comparable!"
"He's so handsome, how dare you compare yourself to him? With that terrible face of yours that even a dog would run away from with its tail between its legs?!"
No, what the hell are you saying?
I'm your brother!
Oliver was about to retort when he suddenly remembered something.
Thea had recently been telling him about meeting a Prince Charming, who was like a meteor from the sky, from beyond the stars.
He was a star, he was the sun, he was more dazzling than an angel.
Whenever Oliver asked for that person's name, Theawould be evasive, always putting him off.
After checking recent surveillance, Oliver found that Theahadn't met any other men.
She was probably crazy.
That's why Oliver had taken Thea out, to help her calm her mind.
But now it seemed...
Oliver's face turned pale, "Thea, don't tell me..."
"Yes, he is the star from the heavens, my beloved!"
Thea shook off Oliver and ran straight to Aaron.
Aaron, who had already noticed the commotion, looked up at her.
"Thea Queen?"
"Hehe, you're finally here! I almost thought you wouldn't come to Earth to pick me up, but where's your cloud?"
Thea Queen looked behind the others, trying to peer through the door at the cloudless sky.
Just as Sara said, Thea Queen was very young, at her prime.
Aaron looked at Sara upon hearing this.
The latter shrugged, "I know you won't stay in this universe for long, so I told them you would come from the stars and pick her up on a seven-colored auspicious cloud."
Aaron understood instantly.
He snapped his fingers.
Thea's eyes pierced through layers of obstacles and finally saw the boundless sky.
At this moment,
From the originally empty horizon, a large mass of clouds, shimmering with seven-colored light and as beautiful as a rainbow, rapidly approached.
The seven-colored auspicious cloud seemed to be alive, transforming into a bridge.
One end of the bridge was in the sky, and the other continuously extended and connected to the building.
"Wow! What beautiful seven-colored auspicious clouds!"
Thea was stunned. Everything Sara had told her was true!
He was already itching to expose Aaron's false pretense.
What savior, god of miracles, seven-colored auspicious clouds... In this day and age, do people still believe such things?
Oliver was about to speak, but a glance caught the approaching seven-colored auspicious clouds through the glass window.
In that instant, his head buzzed, and he was completely dumbfounded.
No, you're serious?!
Oliver took a few steps to the glass window, and after opening it, the strange cloud was so real, so maddening.
He then looked sharply at Aaron, alarm bells ringing in his heart.
Before Thea could recover, Oliver was back in front of everyone.
He was about to speak when he saw Laurel and Sara.
"Laurel, Sara? You and him..."
Oliver's heart grew heavier, and the bad premonition intensified.
Laurel did not give Oliver a good look.
Sara merely sneered, "Oh, isn't this our Young Master Queen? Why haven't you left yet? You're not welcome here."
Oliver's heart ached. No, we've known each other for a while, why are you so cold today?
And Laurel... He looked at her, hoping for an explanation.
But Laurel's delicate brows were furrowed.
Aaron came in front of him, his eyes full of displeasure.
"Oliver, looking at other people's women is not polite behavior."
Oliver gritted his teeth and met Aaron's gaze, saying impolitely, "They are my friends. Can't I catch up with my friends?"
Sara snorted, "Don't talk nonsense, who's friends with you? You'd best stay far away. I can smell that terrible rotten stench from a mile away, it's unlucky!"
"I don't want to die so soon."
Oliver was stunned. Five years ago, it wasn't like this... They even sailed out on the Queen's Gambit together.
If the ship hadn't sunk midway, they might have become a couple.
But now... Sara regarded him as an enemy, Laureldeliberately shunned him, and Felicity didn't give him a good look.
Even his sister, Thea, now had no room in her eyes for her half-brother.
He felt as if everything he loved had been stolen.
He had always been the one poaching others' women in the past.
Oliver keenly sensed that Aaron was problematic.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you luring them away? What do you want to do to them?!"
"No matter what your objective is, I won't let you succeed. This is Star City!"
Aaron hadn't spoken yet, but Sara stepped forward first.
"Queen, get lost, don't slander my dear. Whether it's Laurel, Felicity, or Thea, I'm the one who found them."
"What, you can't handle your own people, so you blame the road for being uneven?"
Oliver didn't believe it, but when he looked at Laurel and the others, he didn't get the refutation he expected.
"No, it's impossible!"
Thea spoke then, "Oliver, if there's nothing, you should leave first. We still need to have a good talk, so don't get in the way."
"!!!"
Oliver said indignantly, "This is my company!"
Aaron heard this and said seriously, "Since that's the case, let's leave first and not disturb others' work here."
Sara and the others' expressions changed, completely different from when they faced Oliver. One by one, they nestled against Aaron and returned the way they came.
Oliver couldn't stop them!
"Thea, Mom wants to have dinner with you tonight!"
Thea waved without looking back, "No, I'm going out with my friends, so I won't be back tonight."
Won't be back... Oliver felt increasingly uneasy.
Thea couldn't have given herself away on the very first meeting, could she?
Have some restraint! You are a lady!
Oliver didn't know when he regained consciousness.
By the time he came to, Aaron and the others had already disappeared.
He quickly grabbed a bystander, "Where are they?"
"Boss, they left on a colorful auspicious cloud."
The person said with an envious look, "Could they really be deities?"
Oliver subconsciously looked, only to see a colorful rainbow with a trailing tail.
Gone... Oliver felt an emptiness in his heart.
He even had a strange feeling that he had forgotten something.
Sara... Aaron... What exactly is it?
Oliver thought for a moment, then slapped his head, "Damn it, it's women! Aaron is poaching my women!"
He quickly took out his phone, but as he was about to make a call, he saw one phone number after another in his contact list.
Well, these were all his casual partners or friends.
Too many, it was impossible to determine who Aaron's next target would be.
Until he thought of a girl he had met recently.
Her name was Helena Bertinelli, a somewhat naive and innocent, yet courageous, lovely young woman.
She was the daughter of a crime boss, but she rose above her circumstances, not only remaining untainted but also bravely declaring war on her father.
Not long ago, Helena sent her father to prison, inherited his assets, and transformed into a new star in Star City.
Oliver was very interested in her.
Now, after Felicity and Thea had successively left,
Oliver thought of that lovely girl.
"Perhaps, I should go talk to her and soothe my wounded heart."
Oliver thought this, while also being wary of Aarontargeting his women again.
With that thought,
Oliver quickly went to the garage, started his luxury car, and rushed to a villa.
When Oliver arrived at Helena's villa,
He did not see the colorful auspicious cloud.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when he arrived at the villa's main gate and pressed the doorbell,
He inadvertently peeked and saw a scene that would be unforgettable for him.
It was Helena!
And the person beside her was... Sara!
"No!!!"
Chapter 352: Oliver's Madness, All Caught in One Net
Pictured: Mia Queen.
The wind was very noisy, but Oliver was completely cold and motionless.
He silently watched Sara and Helena talk.
Before long,
That man also walked over.
Helena, like a swallow returning to its nest, threw herself into his arms.
With his back to Helena,
Oliver saw Aaron.
Aaron also looked at him and smiled softly.
There was no hint of mockery,
But Oliver only felt his whole body tremble.
He had a fire in his chest but nowhere to release it.
What could he do?
Helena was nothing to him.
They had only met once.
At that time, Oliver was attracted to this girl.
He had decided to pursue a one-day romance with Helena later, a romance with no future.
It could last for months, or as short as a day.
But the love ended before it even began.
He was poached by Aaron again and again.
He didn't understand how things had come to this point.
How did it feel like Aaron was deliberately targeting him?
Even that seemingly aimless smile, in Oliver's eyes now, was filled with so much sarcasm and disdain.
At this moment,
A sports car approached from a distance.
Oliver watched the sports car get closer and witnessed a beautiful woman with long silver-white hair and long legs get out of the sports car.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of brown eyes.
Her vibrant, fiery red lips were so alluring.
She was beautiful, but also quite thorny.
Like a gorgeous, thorny rose, one could easily get hurt if not careful.
Oliver had a sharp eye and immediately saw that this woman was not to be trifled with.
She was a master!
However, upon closer inspection,
Oliver's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously reached for his back, only to realize he hadn't brought a weapon.
The woman looked at him suspiciously, and Oliverimmediately pretended to scratch his back, like an idiot.
Then he looked up at the upper floor of the villa,
Sara was smiling at her.
The woman paused, clearly having prepared herself mentally for a long time, before stepping forward.
The iron gate automatically opened with a click,
The woman slowly walked through the gate, as if stepping into another world.
Oliver watched her leave with his own eyes.
"Triad... White Porcelain?!"
He had seen her before and had dealings with her.
In his identity as Green Arrow.
Now he was Oliver, and shouldn't recognize her.
But that silver-white long hair was so distinctive; not many in Star City dressed like that.
It seemed White Porcelain's position in the Triad was not low?
What was such a vicious Triad assassin doing here at Helena's place?
Could it be that...
Oliver suddenly looked up, but only saw Sara's half-smile, like she was looking at a clown.
Yes, that's right!
All of this was Sara Lance's revenge!
Oliver understood. When all the pieces connected, he was surprised to find that
All of this was not Aaron's deliberate doing, but Sara had orchestrated it all.
Understanding this,
Oliver felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Too vicious!
To get revenge on him, she actually actively helped Aaronpoach all his targets.
Those were all the women he had his eyes on!
His sister, his former targets, current targets, future targets, and even his enemies... now all packaged and given to another man.
So who would be next?
Oliver thought about it, his expression changing repeatedly.
It can't be..."
Besides his sister, he only had one other close female relative: his mother, Moira Queen.
"Hiss~ No, absolutely not! Anyone else is fine, but not her!"
Oliver couldn't imagine the consequences if Sara took his mother.
He also couldn't imagine his sister, his "girlfriends," and his mother all serving Aaron together.
He would go crazy!
Even though Moira was old, being in her fifties or sixties, she still had her charm due to her meticulous self-care.
For certain special groups, a woman with such allure was the best target.
Moreover, Moira still held a portion of the Queen Corporation shares.
At the age of thirty-four, she was directly offering a vast empire.
What a temptation that was!
Oliver quickly picked up his phone and dialed.
However, his mother's call didn't connect immediately.
"No, no, no, pick up the phone, pick up!"
The thought of potentially having a stepfather even younger than himself made Oliver's hand, holding the phone, tremble uncontrollably.
He had seen Aaron's appearance; he was infinitely more handsome than him.
He had no doubt that as soon as Aaron spoke, his mother, who was in her prime, would absolutely not refuse.
He, handsome and strong; she, a lonely widow. Once they met, it would be like dry wood catching fire, inextinguishable.
He waited for several minutes.
This short time felt like several long years to Oliver.
Finally, the call connected.
"Mom, where are you right now? What are you doing? Has Sara looked for you? I need to talk to you!"
Oliver rattled off many questions in one breath.
Moira Queen only said one thing, "Oliver, when did you get a daughter?"
"Huh? Me?!"
Oliver was stunned.
"And an eighteen-year-old daughter at that. Did you secretly sleep around in high school without us knowing?"
"!!!"
Oliver was truly dumbfounded.
He tried to recall, but couldn't be sure.
He had been with countless women since junior high.
Not to say a new girlfriend every day, but one a month was definitely not a lot.
Who knew which intense night of passion had hit the target.
"Who is she?"
"Mia Queen, very beautiful, very cute, with a gentle voice. I like her!"
Oliver fell into deep thought and recollection. Suddenly becoming a father was a bit hard for him to accept.
"Does she look like me?"
Oliver suspected someone was messing with him.
"Don't doubt my judgment, she is definitely your daughter!"
Moira's voice was quite sharp.
Oliver was silent for a moment.
His peripheral vision inadvertently swept over the top of the villa.
Aaron and the others, who had been cuddling together, were now gone.
Oliver didn't react immediately.
A few seconds later,
Oliver's heart sank.
"Oh no! Their target isn't Moira at all, but my daughter Mia!"
"Or rather, both!"
Moira and Mia happened to be together.
They might all be caught in one swoop!
Just then,
A familiar male voice came from Moira's end of the phone.
"Mia!"
Oliver felt dizzy for a moment.
It's over!
Without time to say more, he immediately got into his car and floored the accelerator.
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Aaron and Sara had arrived outside a beauty salon in Star City's central mall at some point.
Moira was conversing and catching up with Mia Queen.
Moira was quite fond of this granddaughter who had suddenly appeared, subtly trying to ascertain her current situation from time to time.
She had already concocted several dramatic scenarios in her mind.
She imagined Mia's mother getting pregnant out of wedlock, raising her child alone in hardship for so many years, surely enduring much suffering and scorn.
The emotional Moira wanted to make amends for the mistakes made by the unreliable Oliver.
Just then,
Aaron arrived.
Mia's eyes lit up when she saw Aaron.
Moira, too, was quite smitten when she saw Aaron. If not for seeing the seemingly unusual relationship between her granddaughter and Aaron, she would have wanted to strike up a conversation with him.
For a moment,
She even wanted to snatch Aaron away.
And play with him thoroughly.
"Mia, is this your friend?"
Moira suppressed her restless heart and spoke kindly.
Mia hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "He is Aaron. We are sort of..."
"Online dating?!"
Aaron interjected.
Mia thought about it and strongly agreed, "Yes, online dating! We've known each other for a long time, and today is our first time meeting!"
"Is that so? That's really great!"
Moira gave up. Although she yearned, she couldn't possibly steal a man from her granddaughter.
How would that look if it got out?
"Sister Sara!"
Mia greeted Sara, who smiled in response, then gave Aaron a look, her peripheral vision on Moira.
Aaron's mouth twitched. He subtly shook his head.
He quickly slapped Sara's ample bottom as punishment.
No matter what, he wouldn't stoop so low as to accept a fifty or sixty-year-old woman who had given birth to several children!
Even for revenge, Aaron would never compromise himself.
Absolutely not!
