American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 036

Harley Quinn on the stage treated Zatanna’s cage as a steel pole and danced gracefully.

Connors thought that Poison Ivy’s arrival was related to Harley, but Harley Quinn also looked bewildered at this moment, glancing around at the audience, and shouted in a clear voice:

“Ivy—are you here to watch my show too?”

At Harley Quinn’s call, plants began to grow wildly, forming a lush passage.

At the end of this path, a figure of extraordinary height, with fiery red hair, skin that was white with a hint of green, and only plants covering key areas, stepped slowly in high heels. It was Poison Ivy.

“No, I detected a large number of plants here, so I came to take a look.” Ivy’s voice was elegant and languid.

Just by listening to her voice, an uninformed person would most likely think she was a mature and elegant elder sister.

But Connors knew in his heart that this was not some kind elder sister, but the femme fatale of Gotham, Poison Ivy, true to her name.

The moment these plants bloomed, he had already closed his eyes, activating the “Green” within him to its fullest extent. Various scents in the air mixed together, drilling into his nostrils and entering his body.

The faint floral scent was pleasant to smell, but when the scent became extremely strong, all that remained was nausea and revulsion.

But even so, Connors still tried his best to absorb the scents in the air.

These were toxic spores capable of weakening even Batman, Bruce Wayne, leading to Bane breaking his back!

As expected of an extreme environmentalist, she immediately wanted to silence everyone in the stadium… Although there weren’t ten thousand people like at the previous concert, there were still six or seven thousand.

However, in Poison Ivy’s eyes, the lives of six or seven thousand people probably couldn’t compare to plants.

Poison Ivy thought this way, but Connors couldn’t do the same.

The plants were placed by Xuexi under his instructions to protect the stage and the audience. If these six thousand people died on the spot because of Poison Ivy, who was attracted by the plants, then he wouldn’t be able to be a happy bystander.

He would inevitably become the number one villain in’s eyes, and perhaps even Superman from the neighboring Metropolis would come to deal with him.

The spores in the air quickly swirled into Connors’ body like a whirlwind. With the existence of the Green, even if it was only 1%, he still ignored the presence of the toxins.

Not only that, the 1% Green even transformed because of this, reaching 2%.

Although he couldn’t decide the lives of thousands of people with a flick of his hand like Poison Ivy, it was still an unexpected gain.

The audience was not harmed because Connors absorbed the toxic spores in time. However, people in Gotham were accustomed to immediately fleeing when unknown events occurred, so some immediately got up, wanting to escape the stadium.

But the plants distributed throughout the stadium were controlled by Poison Ivy, binding everyone firmly to their seats.

“So you’re here too. It saves me the trouble of looking for you.” Ivy noticed Connors when he was absorbing the spores. At this moment, her gaze turned to Connors, and she said expressionlessly.

What did I do… Connors didn’t know when he had offended this femme fatale, but with 2% of the Green, he was enough to protect himself in front of Poison Ivy.

Therefore, he was not afraid. Instead, he manipulated the plants to grow a chair beside him, inviting Poison Ivy:

“That’s quite a coincidence. Sit down and watch Harley’s magic show together, and we can talk about anything else later?”

As Connors manipulated the plants, he noticed Ivy’s body trembled slightly, and then she walked over with very stiff steps, looking down at Connors who was sitting in the audience seat.

Her height of 1.7 meters, plus high heels, and her fluffy red hair, visually made her seem like 1.8 meters… Her aura was simply overwhelming.

In terms of temperament alone, Poison Ivy could be said to be almost the top among the people Connors had seen since coming to Gotham.

The beauty of wildness and intellect conflicted yet harmonized in the same person. Even without considering her temperament, just her appearance and figure, Poison Ivy was not inferior to Harley, Spider-Girl, Black Widow, and others.

So, when Connors invited Poison Ivy to sit down, and she stood in front of him, the plants subtly danced like living things, and with her temperament, appearance, figure, and strength all at their peak, Xuexi was the first to not be able to sit still.

“It’s you again! Last time you attacked when all my attention was on creating ice, and this time you’re here to cause trouble again…”

As she spoke, a cold aura also bloomed from Xuexi’s body, making Connors, who possessed human-level peak physical fitness, shiver uncontrollably.

Pa!

As a celebrity singer, Xuexi had never been timid on concert stages with thousands to tens of thousands of people. At this moment, she suddenly stood up.

Although she wasn’t wearing high heels and was half a head shorter than Poison Ivy, she was full of momentum and looked at Ivy without fear.

A large area of frost instantly spread throughout the stadium. She wanted to transform this plant-covered stadium into her own domain, a domain of ice and snow.

“It seems she’s the one causing trouble, right?” Ivy raised her beautiful eyebrows, pointing at Harley Quinn on the stage, who was constantly exhaling white mist.

“…Uh.” Xuexi slowed down her control of the frost for a beat, feeling that Poison Ivy made a lot of sense.

Connors sat on the side, wishing he had a handful of melon seeds to crack and enjoy the show.

He wasn’t afraid that the two women would fight. After spending time with Xuexi these past few days, besides her identity as a celebrity singer, she was pretty much a naive and sweet girl.

Although Poison Ivy’s ability to control plants was stronger than his, he wasn’t without countermeasures.

While Harley’s “magic” show might have been ruined, the drama between Ivy and Xuexi could seamlessly follow.

Especially when he saw Poison Ivy’s lips curve slightly, Connors had already opened his “gossip system,” wanting to see what this particular piece of gossip would be called.

—Then, caught off guard, Poison Ivy lowered her head slightly and kissed Xuexi, who was looking aggressive and ready to fight at any moment.

Clap clap clap—

Harley Quinn on the stage clapped her hands, and Zatanna in the cage watched the scene with amusement:

“It would be even better if there were fireworks now.”

Connors’ brain froze for a moment.

Xuexi, who had been so aggressive, was kissed by Poison Ivy, and the ice she controlled cracked with a crunch, then she plopped back into her seat.

Just now, he was worried that chatting would make Xuexi clingy; now, well…

Connors looked at Xuexi, whose eyes were filled with emotion, as if they could draw silk, staring unblinkingly at him, and thought helplessly.
