After Batman tied up the unconscious criminal, he looked at Aaron, who was standing by watching the commotion.
With just one glance, he sensed that Aaron was unusual.
In Gotham City, where folk customs were simple, there was no shortage of talent.
If you t soone 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 Batman universe was not as complex as other universes, it was by no ans 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 handso, and he seed out of place in Gotham City. Under normal circumstances, a handso man like Aaron would never have the chance to show his face publicly. He would either be captured and tortured by so underground boss, or sold into prostitution, serving both won and n.
But Aaron stood before him perfectly unhard, and so calm.
With that unique aura and flawless face, Keaton Batman felt that such a person should not live in Gotham City, Gotham City was unworthy.
There was no soil for him to thrive here.
While Batman felt vigilant, he couldn't help but advise, "Sir, I welco you on behalf of Gotham City, but I suggest you'd best go to tropolis. As you can see, it's very dangerous here, especially for soone like you."
"Thank you for the reminder. I will be leaving Gotham very soon." Aaron smiled slightly, then looked up at the sky.
A treasure was about to fall from the sky. Wasn't that better than Gotham?
Batman nodded, just about to handcuff the criminal aside and wait for the police to finish up.
However, so whispers sounded from nearby.
"Did you see when that handso guy appeared?"
"I don't rember. It seed 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 handso. He's still looking at the sky, perhaps he's looking at heaven?"
"…"
Batman paused.
An angel?
That's right, he was indeed very handso. In Gotham, a city shrouded in darkness, he seed like a holy angel.
Not only his attire, but also that unique, transcendent aura. There was an indescribable sense of detachnt from Gotham City.
If Gotham was hell, then Aaron truly seed like an angel.
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 aningfully, "I have no relation to those bird-people."
Batman frowned slightly.
Not an angel? Bird-people? Could he be a demon from hell in human skin?
For so reason, Batman subconsciously felt that Aaron was no ordinary person.
In the depths of his being, a voice was telling him, 'Do not miss him, or you will regret it imnsely.'
It was a very special feeling.
Batman had not believed in gods in this world before. But at this mont, he felt that if he didn't speak up today, so terrible disaster might occur in the future. He even felt a sense of suffocation.
Aaron raised an eyebrow, hearing the echo of this world. It was an extrely faint, unconscious sound from all living beings in the world.
It seed they saw their inevitable demise in the future, and under so self-preservation chanism, they influenced Bruce, the absolute center of this world.
Interesting.
This was Aaron's first ti noticing such a situation.
Could this be the voice of The Green?
Or perhaps… the unwilling cries of the deceased from countless shattered tilines decades later, transcending ti?
Aaron's appearance allowed them to see the only hope?
This special feeling made Aaron subconsciously divert much of his attention to explore this "Voice of The Green."
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.
Bruce did not notice anything unusual about himself. That special power left him sowhat puzzled. He attributed this influence to Aaron's uniqueness.
"Sir, I can confirm I have never seen you before, but for so reason, I feel a special affinity for you. Would you mind enlightening ?" Bruce chose his words carefully.
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Is that so puzzling? It's rely because I'm handso. You see, others feel the sa affinity for , don't they?"
Bruce scanned his surroundings. The people around, especially the won, looked at Aaron with sparkling eyes. If it weren't for the fact that this was a cri scene, they might have already rushed up to talk and flirt with Aaron.
Bruce remained silent for a few seconds. "No, that's not the sa. For so reason, you seem very important to ."
Aaron thought for a mont, then, with the intention of testing, he tentatively said, "Perhaps it's because… I can save this world."
!!!
Bruce'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?
Aaron smiled, pointing into the distance and a flash of spiritual light surged into Bruce's mind.
Aaron had intercepted a portion of the world's outco decades later and transmitted it into Bruce's brain.
Bruce slowly processed it, as if he had been imrsed in it, experiencing that future period like a fleeting glimpse.
The current Bruce had only just beco 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, Bruce had to face a terrible truth—the world was going to end.
"I found you."
Before Bruce could fully process it, Aaron finally found the reason.
He surveyed the lushness of Gotham City, which was not the call of Mother Earth, but the voice of The Green.
The Green is one of the mysterious natural forces in the DC Verse, and also one of its elental forces. This force imbues plants with vitality, making it almost the most resilient and tenacious force in the DC verse.
Theoretically, every green plant in the DC world is connected to The Green.
A host chosen by The Green, 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 sowhat pale, and her face held a hint of bewildernt, panic, and unease.
"You are… Pala?"
Aaron was quite surprised, not expecting Batman to also have Poison Ivy.
Pala said with a hint of nervousness, "Sir, can you help ? I was just pruning plants, but they seed to co alive and stung , and that's how I beca like this."
Pala raised her slender hands, but there were no wounds on her smooth, flawless skin. It was clear that Pala'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 to co find you. I don't understand, I feel like I'm going crazy."
Pala clutched her head with her right hand and shook it frantically. "They seem to be saying… save ?"
Aaron gestured for Pala to co closer.
Pala hesitated, but looking at Aaron's face, whether it was an illusion or not, she felt her spirit was being comforted, and the feeling of ntal dissociation also lessened.
The closer she got to Aaron, the more peaceful she felt inside.
Pala slowly approached, and Aaron placed his hand on her hair, acquiring her abilities.
[Fragnt of The Green: You have acquired so characteristics of The Green, possessing imnse 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 mont he acquired this ability, Aaron, with his powerful mind, instantly gained control of the entire Earth's plant's perspective.
Plants do not have eyes, but they can sense 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 augnt this power to gain immortal vitality and even greater physical strength.
'The Green can be combined with my internal Universe's power, strengthening my body while rapidly recovering, thereby augnting even greater power.'
With powerful computational abilities, Aaron quickly analyzed the utility of The Green 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 mories and can even link to the future through certain ans.
The Green 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 made Pala it's 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 this universe, supernatural abilities are not prominent, and even the power of The Green 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 could produce. However, against the future Zod, she was simply not enough.
Having gained the power of The Green, Aaron was more adept at controlling it than Pala, able to perfectly harness it without being influenced by the myriad plant consciousnesses.
Seeing that Pala was still in so pain, Aaron intervened to alleviate her symptoms.
Pala took a deep breath as if reborn, the fragnted noise in her ears finally gone, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you, sir, I knew you could help ."
At this mont, Bruce had finished sifting through his mories and looked at Aaron with a complex expression.
"Is this the future of our world? The tiline collapsing and being destroyed because of two idiots?"
"Sir, may I ask… can I just shoot them?"
Keaton Batman wasn't a benevolent Batman. Unlike most Batn 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 Knight retired perfectly, becoming a legend of Gotham City.
Keaton Batman shared commonalities with other Batn, 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.
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 trash teammate.
Barry Allen's foolishness greatly shocked Keaton Batman.
Compared to having two 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 outco."
With Flash's ability to reverse ti, 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 could be killed.
