Chapter 250 Becoming a Swamp Monster
When Ivy first met "Poison Ivy," she said that she would wait until Connors' "Green of All Things" grew stronger, then kill him, seize "Green of All Things," and become the embodiment of "Green of All Things," namely "Swamp Thing."
Although Connors stopped mentioning the incident later because of his relationship with "Poison Ivy" Ivy, Connors never actually held it in his heart.
He wanted to see if Poison Ivy would be so ruthless as to sever all ties with him, or even kill him, if he were truly "100% Green of All Things".
But now it seems that things have developed in a way that has exceeded their expectations.
As Connors's "Green of All Things" reached its peak, Ivy's "Green of All Things" disappeared directly.
From Connors' perspective, the "Green of All Things" had clearly transferred to him, making him the embodiment of plants, while "Poison Ivy" Ivy had become an ordinary person.
Meanwhile, on Earth Zero, Ivy, now a normal human who has lost her once-proud ability to control plants, is trapped alongside Harley Quinn, the "Wither Ash."
"As long as one possesses the Green of All Things, one can control the entire world, whether in human form or plant form. I have been striving for this power my whole life."
Ivy, the "Poison Ivy," whose entire body was bound tightly by vines, looked at the creature that had spoken.
This is a monster over five meters tall, its body seemingly pieced together from tumors on trees, with black peach gum, white rubber, and yellowed, rotten wood fibers forming disgusting patterns on its surface.
"Ivy, your skin seems to have gotten lighter, and your 'Green of All Things' has gained new abilities?"
"The Withering Ashes," Harley Quinn said, as she too was bound into a mummy by vines. However, compared to Ivy's solemn expression, Harley Quinn seemed completely unconcerned.
While Connors was traveling to other universes, the two of them were searching for beings containing the "Green of All Things."
In the words of "Poison Ivy," this was preparing Connors to become the real "Swamp Thing."
"Poisonous Green Vine, once you are dead, I will gain the power to contend with all other possessors of the Green of All Things..."
"And 'Withered Ashes' is a pleasant surprise."
The towering monster, its body composed of tree tumors and various resinous substances, spoke in a hoarse voice:
"This will bring me ultimate victory, and I can even use it to become the true 'Swamp Monster'."
Harley, the "Withering Ashes," rolled her eyes, unimpressed by the enormous plant monster.
"Oh, after saying all that, why haven't you made a move yet?"
Poison Ivy felt awkward about how the plant monster addressed her.
"Poison Ivy? Who gave me that nickname? I prefer 'Poison Ivy Girl'."
Harley Quinn, the "Withering Ashes," nodded repeatedly:
"Me too."
Their indifference clearly angered the monster; it tightened the vines binding them, and even extended two spiked tentacles from its eyes, reaching towards the two women.
"I don't have the means to sense other 'Green of All Things' possessors, but luckily you've delivered yourself to my doorstep. Once I kill you, I'll—"
Harley, the "Withering Ashes," casually broke free of the vines, jumped to the ground, stretched, kicked her legs, and yawned.
A series of actions left the monster dumbfounded:
"How did you break free?"
Harley Quinn, the "Withering Ashes," wasn't sleepy at first, but the monster's endless chatter had made her incredibly sleepy. She even missed Connors's embrace.
"Never mind how I broke free, Ivy. We've already confirmed that this monster's 'Green of All Things' is worth the effort, right? What are we waiting for?"
After speaking to "Poison Ivy" Ivy, Harley Quinn looked up at the five-meter-tall monster and patted its calf:
"Hmm, judging from the sound, it seems to be low-quality wood. Speaking of which, we've already killed dozens, if not hundreds, of owners of 'Green of All Things,' why are they all so ugly?"
"If only you could look like Ivy—"
Harley said, "Look!" and made a gesture of broad-mindedness.
"Maybe I wouldn't have the heart to kill you—but right now, I'd really enjoy burning you to the ground."
Poison Ivy was still trapped in the vines. Her skin had returned from green to human white, and she had lost all her power, but her eyes were growing brighter and brighter.
"The Green of All Things has chosen its own incarnation; do you really think you can contend with it?"
A few seconds after the "Green of All Things" disappeared from her body, "Poison Ivy" realized that Connors might have already possessed the truly complete "Green of All Things".
The "he" she was referring to was also Connors, but the tall monster in front of her clearly misunderstood:
"An incarnation? Every possessor of 'Green of All Things' believes themselves to be the true 'Green of All Things,' but in reality, they are merely pathetic agents."
"And I have devoured countless such agents; they were too weak to wield the power bestowed upon them by the 'Green of All Things.'"
"And you, my dear 'Poisonous Ivy,' are my next dish."
As the enormous monster spoke, it began to firmly plant its feet on the ground, which gradually strengthened its body.
From his waist, rotting tree tumors wriggled and grew into two lizard-like heads.
Harley, the "Withering Ashes," looked at Ivy with a puzzled expression:
"Did this guy just say he ate something?"
Poison Ivy was lost in thought at this moment:
"My 'Green of All Things' has completely disappeared, so why hasn't this guy's?"
Harley Quinn wasn't discouraged when Ivy ignored her. She raised one leg high, almost bringing her knee up in front of her, using her shinbone as a shield.
"Looks like I'll have to kick this guy."
After gesturing a few times, "Withering Ashes" kicked out, landing heavily on the plant monster's calf, causing it to fall sideways and crash heavily to the ground.
Before the monster could even get up, a vine wrapped around Harley, flinging her far away. Then, the tendrils in its eyes continued to extend towards "Poison Ivy" Ivy:
"You've always been the most famous among the owners of 'Green of All Things,' yet your strength is so meager—"
Ivy suddenly realized:
"I know why my 'Green of All Things' disappeared, and yours didn't—because you're utterly pathetic!"
Because it was so weak, even Connors, as the true incarnation of "Green of All Things," was too lazy to drain the power possessed by this monster. As the tentacles drew closer and closer to her, "Poison Ivy" Ivy laughed happily. She seemed to see Connors become the "Swamp Monster," covering the entire world with plants.
Just like she said before, it doesn't matter whether she survives or not, as long as Connors becomes the "Swamp Thing".
