"Perhaps I can get a few lantern rings..."
Aaron thought of the Seven Lantern Corps.
The Seven Lantern Corps represent the emotional power of the DC world, representing Rage, Greed, Fear, Willpower, Hope, Compassion, and Love.
In addition, there are the Black lantern ring representing Death and the White lantern ring representing Life.
If he can acquire the power of the Seven lantern rings, perhaps his Seven Deadly Sins ability, and the Phoenix Force, which also represents emotion, will also experience a qualitative leap.
In fact, Aaron's current physique and willpower can already easily control the more powerful Phoenix Force. He has already created and fused more Phoenix, and the intensity of the Phoenix Fire at this time has far exceeded the Dark Phoenix in the original work.
Enough to rival the White Phoenix.
Moreover, unlike Jean Grey in the original work, he can perfectly control this Phoenix Force and will not be influenced or even possessed by the will within it.
Furthermore, Aaron's Phoenix Force and the original Phoenix have already undergone significant differences, having successively fused the power of the Eternal Flame, Sun, Hellfire, etc.
Rather than calling it Phoenix Fire, it would be more accurate to call it Chaos Magic.
Aaron even wants to fuse the Phoenix Force and Chaos Magic to form true Chaos Magic.
Coupled with the emotional spectrum of the DC world and the Seven Deadly Sins, he has a premonition that the Phoenix Force will undergo earth-shattering changes, and its potential will also surpass the original Phoenix.
If necessary, this peculiar Chaos Magic could also be fused with Dark Power, God's Power, and so on.
Perhaps there's a chance to break through the limits of the comics in one fell swoop.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Aaron can perfectly control it.
No matter what, it represents the power of emotion, the emotions of all beings, the collection of countless minds.
Although Aaron doesn't have to worry about being controlled by it, he might unknowingly be influenced by emotions and thus become biased.
Aaron has already thought of a solution to this problem.
That is Devouring Power!
After multiple fusions and evolutions, Devouring Power can now devour almost all things, including matter, energy, memories, vitality, abilities, power, soul, and even emotions.
As long as the Devouring Power is strong enough, Aaron can devour the emotions born from the Phoenix Force (Chaos Magic), maintain his absolute purity at all times, and also transform it into resources to strengthen himself, achieving a truly zero-loss beneficial cycle.
In this process, Devouring Power must be continuously enhanced.
For example, fusing various Devouring-attribute powers.
As Aaron thought, he continued to caress Raven's long purple hair.
Raven's eyes were fixed on Aaron, but as she watched, her eyes, which she tried hard to keep calm, flickered slightly. She couldn't hold back the ripples in her heart and unconsciously turned her head away.
"Have you touched enough? Do you want to touch other places?"
"Oh, can I?" Aaron asked in surprise.
Raven: "..."
"Let's talk about it after we deal with Trigon."
Raven said and was about to leave, but she seemed to feel that this goal was too vague and might undermine Aaron's confidence.
So she added, "At least help me stop one of Trigon's plans... Well, repelling Trigon's lackeys three times will also do."
"Really? Then it's a deal."
Aaron's eyes held a smile as he turned to look into the distance. "I can sense that there is a strong aura of darkness there. No mistake, those are Trigon's lackeys."
"Let's go."
Before Raven could react, Aaron pulled her into the void.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a small town a thousand miles away.
Raven saw the teleportation array with Trigon's iconic symbol. There was no mistake, this was part of her father's plan.
Raven's face was cold as she was about to look for the source of the magic circle.
However, Aaron had already clapped his hand down, wiping out the entire nearby area. He also incidentally wiped out an unlucky demon who had one foot in reality.
Raven's mouth was slightly open, stunned on the spot.
This man... is so extreme.
Looking at the block that had been wiped out due to the teleportation array, Raven pursed her lips and tactfully said, "Actually, we could have dealt with this demon in other ways. It's just a mere lackey, there's no need to involve other innocents."
Aaron said, "Innocents? Oh, I forgot to mention, there are no living people left in this block. How do you think this teleportation array came to be?"
"You mean... someone sacrificed the people in this block?" Raven's expression changed slightly.
Looking at the completely annihilated area, she was silent for a moment.
"Even so... aren't your methods a bit too extreme?"
"Alright, don't worry about these details. Think about it, if the demon were to appear, let alone these few empty buildings, even this small town would be destroyed. This little sacrifice is all very necessary."
Aaron didn't feel there was anything wrong with himself, he was just pursuing a bit of efficiency.
A mere teleportation array, he wouldn't make even one unnecessary move for it.
"Let's go, we're going to the next one."
Without waiting for Raven to speak further, Aaron again took her small hand and stepped into a new teleportation array.
Raven was shocked. "There's more?"
She was a little uneasy.
The promised three times... surely it wouldn't be resolved within ten minutes, right?
Doesn't that mean she would be casually touched by Aaron, touched more intimately?
Hiss! First meeting and already going to third base? What a fast man!
It was too late when Raven realized something was wrong. She regretted actively lowering the mission difficulty.
She was afraid Aaron wouldn't complete it, and also afraid Aaron would act too quickly.
She wasn't ready yet!
Thinking of this, even someone as stoic as Raven couldn't help but grit her teeth. "It's all Trigon's fault."
Trigon was really an idiot for sending so many demons to invade Earth. Was he just bored and had nothing to do?
Raven's mind was racing.
In the blink of an eye, Aaron brought her to a city closer to the west.
This time it was a university campus, where beautifully dressed female students coming and going were the most beautiful scenery in the school.
Everywhere was filled with youthful energy.
However, Aaron had no intention of appreciating it.
With a lovely Raven by his side, these common beauties were not worth mentioning.
Even though these female students, upon seeing Aaron, actively approached him to exchange contact information, Aaron quickly pulled Raven to a chemistry lab.
"Wait, this is a school, you really don't have to be so extreme."
Raven quickly said, "How about I go this time?"
Before Raven could finish, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from the chemistry lab. Accompanied by dense white smoke, terrifying flames destroyed the entire floor, burying everyone in the lab and other offices in a sea of fire.
"…"
Raven was stunned and subconsciously looked at Aaron.
"Don't look at me, I didn't even make a move this time. He blew himself up."
Aaron shrugged, and amidst the exclamations, he pulled Raven into the sea of fire. They soon arrived at the source of the explosion and found a shattered object there.
From him, Raven sensed the unique Trigon aura in his soul. And as he died, triggering a sacrificial ritual, a familiar teleportation array quickly appeared.
"I'll do it!"
Raven quickly stopped Aaron, about to step forward and expel the demon.
However, the huge demon with bull horns, the moment it stepped out of the portal, was mind-controlled by a single glance from Aaron.
Then, it used all its strength to claw its own head, and its body erupted in terrifying flames, incinerating the entire teleportation magic circle symbol.
Raven blinked, and Aaron's expectant voice reached her ears. "Second time."
The girl's heart trembled, she had forgotten what this strange emotion was.
Since her mother was killed by Trigon and she was treated as a demon to be expelled, it seemed she had no other emotions besides revenge, right?
But today, after meeting Aaron, she had returned to the past. She seemed to have recovered her normalcy.
However, the cost was… herself.
Perhaps Aaron really was a demon, the legendary succubus.
About to devour her.
"Alright, let's go to the next place." Aaron eagerly pulled Raven, continuing their journey.
Raven's expression changed repeatedly, her slightly pale face, at some unknown point, covered in a blush.
She admitted that Aaron was very handsome. But she had already decided not to fall in love before defeating Trigon. Otherwise, it would harm both others and herself.
That was Trigon!
She and Trigon both wanted nothing more than to deal with each other. But if Trigon knew that some guy had gotten involved with his daughter—even if it was the daughter he considered a mortal enemy—he would probably go mad, right?
Hiss!
But if she could make Trigon mad, perhaps this was an alternative form of revenge?
This time, after leaving the school, the two arrived at their original destination—the Western Region.
And this place was the city where Dove and Hawk were located.
Right at this moment, Hawk and Dove were dealing with a tricky supernatural event.
"Demon, get out of the little boy's body immediately."
Inside an apartment, Hawk Henry Hall, Dove Dawn Granger, and a thin priest holding a Bible were shouting angrily at a ferocious-looking little boy.
The little boy glared hatefully at the disheveled priest, then looked at Henry with a mocking gaze. "What peculiar power, but do you two really think you can make me compromise?"
"Come on, if you have the guts, kill me, kill this innocent life."
The voice coming from the little boy's mouth was deep and evil, filled with endless malice.
Dawn said, at a loss, "Hall, what should we do next?"
Henry glared disapprovingly at his companion. "Rookie, don't expose your emotions so easily, especially in front of a demon. That will only make him more rampant and reckless."
As Hawk, he didn't actually have much affection for Dawn, who was Dove.
In fact, his true comrade was his younger brother, the first generation Dove, Donald. However, his beloved brother died in an accident, and Dawn fortunately received a divine blessing, thus gaining his brother's power.
The two reluctantly became partners, but to this day, Henry still hadn't acknowledged her.
"Hahaha, what a pitiful girl. Your companion doesn't seem to treat you as a helper, but rather a servant he can scold at will."
"Why not abandon him and submit to the great Trigon, my master? You will gain even greater power." The little boy said seductively.
Dawn bit her lip and did not answer.
"Third one."
Just then, a strange voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Then, a man and a woman, a perfect match, walked out of the void.
The man was handsome and dashing, the woman beautiful and noble. The ruby on her forehead shimmered with an eerie light.
Raven tugged at Aaron's hand, with a hint of pleading. "Let me do this one, alright? I can do it."
"No, he's mine. The next one is yours, I promise." Aaron said in an unquestionable tone.
"Wait, you two, do you understand the concept of first come, first served? He belongs to me." Henry stepped forward, his expression ugly.
His brother's death made him quite irritable, and after Aaron and Raven appeared, they hadn't even looked at them properly, as if they considered them nothing.
Coupled with the repulsion between same sexes, Henry's emotions became even more agitated as he looked at Aaron's overly handsome face.
However, the man and woman merely glanced at him, then withdrew their gaze, seemingly not taking him seriously at all.
"I have a way to deal with the demon without harming the little boy." Raven thought of a solution.
However, Aaron raised an eyebrow. "I also have a way, and it's more efficient. Don't worry."
Upon hearing the word 'efficient,' Raven thought of the first time. She became even more uneasy and hastily tried to say something.
