Bruce grabbed Barry, gave him a good beating, and then forced him to reveal the crises that had occurred in his universe.
Upon learning that he might have to face enemies like Doomsday, Steppenwolf, Atlantis, evil wizards, evil witches, Black Adam, and Darkseid, Bruce immediately gave up.
He grabbed Barry and forced him to stay. Since Barry caused this mess, he had to deal with it.
However, how could Barry possibly handle so many crises?
Keep in mind, Steppenwolf alone had defeated all Justice League members except Superman.
And the later Mother Boxes had destroyed Earth.
Fight? How could they fight?
It would be better to seek reinforcements from other universes, begging them to save this world.
Aaron simply left.
He noticed Bruce's gaze but he had no obligation to help.
After the Zod crisis ended, his deal with this world was successfully concluded.
He had done enough. Without him, this world and many others would have collided and been destroyed due to the reckless actions of the Flashes.
In fact, even if Bruce hadn't resolved the Zod crisis in the end, Aaron would have intervened this time. Leaving a warning before he left was already doing his utmost.
Any more help? That was impossible.
The mess was caused by Barry, how they discussed and handled it was their business.
Aaron didn't care nor was he concerned.
He returned to Pamela and taking her with him, headed to Themyscira in the Dark Universe.
Diana and the others, sensing Aaron's return, excitedly approached. When they saw Pamela, they were all extremely pleased.
Aaron's efficiency was too high, he had brought them a new helper so quickly.
It's just...
"Who is this child? Could it be..."
Diana and the others' gazes lingered on little Kara, Pamela, and Aaron.
Aaron went out once and came back with a child?
This efficiency was simply outrageous.
Aaron waved his hand. "Don't misunderstand, this is Kara Zor-El, a Kryptonian. As long as she receives enough sunlight, her power will continuously strengthen. In the future, she will be your most capable helper."
Hearing this, the women all breathed a sigh of relief.
While relieved, they also felt a hint of regret.
In truth, they secretly hoped Kara really was Aaron's child. This would mean they could also bear children for Aaron.
Just think, with Aaron's power, how excellent would his genes be?
A child born from their union with him would likely be born a primordial divine being, capable of shifting stars with a raised hand and creating or destroying universes with a breath.
What crisis wouldn't be solvable then?
What a pity.
However, thinking of this, their thoughts became active again.
Although there were no children now, they could work towards that goal. As long as they continuously 'pressured' Aaron, they would eventually get pregnant.
The thought of their children becoming cosmic-level gods in the future made Artemis and the others' eyes gleam like wolves.
Ignoring inquiries about Pamela's abilities, the women exchanged glances and rushed forward.
Kara, seeing the group of women as fierce as hungry wolves, with their crazed expressions as if they wanted to devour Aaron, was so frightened that she burst into tears, as if saying: 'Don't eat me.'
Pamela was also scared, hugging Kara and hiding to the side, saying with lingering fear, "It's terrifying, are all the women in this universe so ravenous?"
Pamela was still deep in thought when Circe snatched her away.
"What are you still standing there for? It's boss time, let's fight together."
"Little Kara needs someone to look after her."
"It's fine, someone will raise her."
Artemis snatched Kara, tossed her high into the air, and the less-than-one-year-old Kara experienced her first flight.
Amidst a series of 'wa-wa' sounds, Kara was carried by magic and dropped into the hands of a bewildered Hippolyta.
Oh no, a baby girl fell from the sky!
Just as Hippolyta was pondering the baby girl's origin, Aaron called out a reminder from afar.
He hadn't expected these women to be so crazy at the mention of children. He hoped today's events wouldn't traumatize Kara.
This time, Aaron fought a bitter battle on Themyscira for three full days.
Perhaps stimulated by the talk of children, Artemis and Circe were quite frantic. Even Diana, Gwenpool, Donna, and Pamela were infected by the mood.
They fought and failed, failed and fought again.
They only hoped to conceive Aaron's child.
Aaron wouldn't act but it didn't mean his child wouldn't.
If they were lucky enough to conceive one, what difficulty would the Dark Crisis pose?
It could be said that this was the most direct and simple way to solve the world crisis.
But they didn't know that Aaron could ensure 100% pregnancy, but he could also make sure that there was zero chance of pregnancy.
Whether they could get pregnant didn't depend on them, but on Aaron's will.
For Aaron, having infinite lifespan, he was in no hurry to leave behind descendants. Otherwise, he could instantly father numerous offsprings.
Perhaps when he no longer wanted to travel between worlds, when he had played enough, he would consider having a few children?
After spending three days 'subduing' Artemis and the others, Aaron, at Gwenpool's urging, began his journey of traversal.
This time, he planned to explore worlds beyond Marvel and DC.
Aaron gazed into the distance, passing through countless cosmic walls and cosmic bubbles, until he saw through the DC Infinite Multiverse and entered the endless dark chaos.
That was beyond the DC world.
The Marvel world was not far from here.
There was a united universe between Marvel and DC. Using the united universe as a medium, one could easily travel between the two worlds.
But in the chaos beyond the two major worldviews, there were even more universes.
Soon, Aaron found a relatively small world in the chaos.
After locking onto the world target, divine power surged through him, and Aaron stepped into the high-dimensional world, arriving in this world in an instant.
"This is... Japan?" Aaron raised an eyebrow slightly.
He could see the word "Osaka" on a desolate street sign by the roadside.
Aaron scanned his surroundings, discerning from the environment that it was currently around the 21st century.
However, the situation in Japan seemed dire. The bustling streets of Osaka looked like they had been invaded by some entities. Apart from the flickering neon lights, there were no other signs of life.
Aaron could smell the lingering scent of blood in the air, it was very strong.
Faint cries for help and roars of monsters could be heard.
At this moment, Aaron saw a woman in a black uniform. She was wearing a strange black catsuit, had short, ear-length chestnut hair, and was holding a weapon of unknown model, peeking her head out from a silent alley to look around.
Her eyes, as they blinked, revealed fear and dread. It was clear that she was in a very bad situation.
The woman saw Aaron and was somewhat surprised and pleased. Someone being there meant this place should still be relatively safe.
But this place had already been overrun by monsters, how could there still be a living person operating behind enemy lines?
The woman didn't want to get involved, she still had a mission to complete.
She was about to step in another direction but couldn't help but glance at Aaron again.
Wow, he's so handsome!
Anzu Yamasaki stared blankly at Aaron with wide eyes. It was her first time seeing such a handsome man.
Oh my god, she had fallen in love!
Lost in Aaron's beauty, Anzu momentarily forgot that she was currently on the dangerous streets of Osaka.
Aaron was somewhat surprised when he saw her, especially the familiar black catsuit combat uniform.
Could this be...
To confirm his guess, Aaron walked towards the woman.
Anzu felt uneasy, her entire body tensing and she felt a little urge to urinate.
"Hello, handsome, this place is very dangerous right now, but don't worry, I'll protect you."
She raised her gun, as if to show how capable she was.
"I'm a member of a secret government organization. My mission is to kill as many invading monsters as possible. You don't need to be afraid."
Aaron couldn't help but laugh.
He could easily tell that this woman was just a rookie.
Without needing to use any abilities, anyone who wasn't blind could see she was a novice. Beneath her desperate facade of bravery, she was already filled with fear.
Aaron didn't expose her disguise. His psychic power surged into her mind, quickly scanning all the information about this world.
Anzu Yamasaki, twenty-three years old, unmarried, from Osaka...
Black sphere, reinforced suit, Osaka Team...
It's confirmed, this is Gantz/Gantz: O.
Anzu was the only woman in the Osaka Team in Gantz.
However, in Gantz, she was married and had a three-year-old child but the father was never mentioned.
But in this world, Anzu had never married. She was outwardly strong but inwardly timid, and extremely wary of strangers approaching her.
Aaron's mind flashed with information about Gantz.
The overall background of Gantz was that aliens were about to invade Earth, and another civilization almost equivalent to God provided Earth with high technology and, through a black sphere device, selected elites globally to fight against the invading monsters.
The most memorable among them was Nurarihyon Alien Boss, a bug-like monster that could continuously evolve and could only be killed by unexpected attacks.
The oppressive feeling he gave was undeniably strong. Any attack he recognized would be ineffective. He had super learning ability, and each time he was killed, he could quickly and specifically evolve into a stronger form.
It's like a Gantz version of Doomsday.
Aaron was very interested in his abilities. Nurarihyon's strength wasn't formidable to him, but his abilities were good. If combined with Aaron's super reflexes and enhanced perception, no attack could take effect without him noticing.
Of course, besides Nurarihyon, Aaron was also very interested in Anzu, who was in front of him.
In addition, there was that Tokyo Team's member.
Aaron's peripheral vision swept over a nearby billboard, which featured a celebrity with long black hair—Reika Shimohira.
Her heavy breasts were particularly eye-catching.
"Sir? Sir?"
Anzu was very confused as to why Aaron wasn't speaking. Was he scared?
At this moment, her powerful female sixth sense detected that Aaron seemed to be looking at the billboard next to them.
Anzu looked over.
Good heavens, what breasts!
Does he like women like that?
Anzu looked down at herself. Actually, she wasn't bad, was she?
Damn it, it was just a tiny bit of a difference.
Despite it being her first time meeting Aaron, Anzu, who was usually wary of men, was unusually proactive.
"Sir, do you also like Shimohira-san? What a coincidence, she's my idol too."
Anzu used Reika's name to strike up a conversation with Aaron against her true feelings, while internally grumbling, wishing Reika would roll as far away as possible.
Aaron came back to his senses. "Where did you get your equipment? Can I see it?"
Anzu hadn't expected Aaron's thoughts to be so erratic. She had wanted to continue finding opportunities to get closer, but caught off guard by this request, she was conflicted inside.
"Uh, this thing... this set of equipment was issued by the organization. It's highly classified and cannot be shown to others casually."
Anzu praised herself for her quick thinking. Actually, she didn't mind showing the reinforced suit to Aaron, but this item was related to the black sphere.
The black sphere had warned that any information about it could not be revealed to outsiders, or their heads would explode with a 'bang.' Its eyes were everywhere. No matter where one was, they couldn't escape its surveillance.
"Just a touch, I definitely won't take it off. Is that okay?" Aaron's lips curled into a gentle smile.
However, what Aaron said was one thing, but what Anzu heard was another.
I'll just rub it on the outside, I definitely won't go in.
Anzu's mind went blank, and she nodded almost unconsciously.
Aaron reached out, touching the reinforced suit, devouring it and replicating it in Planck time.
[Burst Enhancement: Your body's explosive power is further increased, and all basic physical attributes are enhanced tenfold!]
Indeed.
Aaron nodded secretly.
What Anzu was wearing was the Gantz reinforced suit, the basic equipment issued by the black sphere to every member. It could increase the wearer's strength tenfold, allowing an untrained person to transform into a "superman" who could scale walls and traverse roofs.
The wearer could perform various difficult movements that they normally couldn't, easily leaping seven or eight meters high, and it also provided a certain degree of protection.
Although the reinforced suit was just starter gear, in the Gantz worldview, it was definitely one of the most cost-effective pieces of equipment. Its lower limit was low, and its upper limit was high, entirely depending on the wearer's ability.
Used well, it could even kill so-called bosses.
