Plant master shook his head. It made no difference to him whether his opponent was the avatar of some primal force. Anyone who stood in the way of his saving the Earth was the enemy. To save the world he loved, to bring peace and harmony, to defeat the encroaching darkness and decay, Jason Wood would sacrifice everything! 

"Foolish creature." 

The power of the Green surged within him, and the vitality was just like the Amazon River rushing into the embrace of the Atlantic Ocean. "You don't understand what we are facing at all. The darkness of decay is coming, the ultimate death, the ultimate decay. I have to strengthen the power of Green of All Things. I apologize for encroaching on the Red's territory, but I cannot stop." 

Plant Master said: "This is the only way to save the Earth from death and decay! Only the Green can—" 

"The Red has no quarrel with your actions." The deep voice of the dinosaur-Batman rumbled. "This is merely a fight between us. I intend to beat you to death, or... be beaten to death by you." 

The dinosaur's aura grew fiercer, the air crackling with tension as he faced Plant master. Red and green. Plant and animal. A clash of ideologies, a battle of beliefs, was about to erupt! 

Deadshot's brow furrowed. Why did this scene seem so familiar? He glanced at Count Vertigo, who seemed utterly intimidated by Batman and Plant master. Deathshot glanced at Cat, crouched beside him panting, and then at Dogwelder, lying on the ground with twisted limbs. 

The sense of déjà vu grew stronger. "Agh!" Ms. October flew overhead, still entangled in vines. These trees had been set to automatic attack mode by Poison Ivy, and they didn't need the control of the Plant Master at all —but not every tree had this trap. Ms. October was simply having a streak of bad luck. 

Deathshot watched as dino bat and Plant master drew closer, with Adam approaching them as well. Plant master's power was surging! He was about to attack! He opened his arms wide, drawing on the full might of the Green to control more plants! 

Then, Adam reached out, grabbing the dazed Count Vertigo with his left hand as if he were a doll. With his right, he scooped up Dogwelder and Cat, then tucked Deathshot under his arm, curled into a ball, and put his legs together, and turned into a wheel in a flash. 

"?" Deathshot grunted in surprise. 

"Damn it! Not again! You—whoa!" 

Caught off guard, Deathshot's head was shoved into Adam's armpit, and he nearly passed out. The green dinosaur roared, disappearing into the woods with Plant master in hot pursuit. 

... 

Meanwhile, back at the cabin, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn embraced, tears streaming down their faces in a tender moment of reconciliation. They gazed at each other, wiping away each other's tears. Their lips drew closer, closer and closer... 

BOOM! 

A green Tyrannosaurus Rex smashed the tree blocking the road in front of it into two pieces with one head. Behind the dust and fallen trees, Plant master, driving the Wood Dragon and the Big Tree Crab, followed closely. All the trees they passed by were either knocked down by the dinosaur or manipulated by Plant master to become part of his power. 

The green dinosaur finally spotted the two women embracing, and its eyes lit up. His long-planned scheme was finally bearing fruit.

"Oh my God!" Harley Quinn exclaimed. 

"Pamela, you're finished..." Plant master emerged from behind a tree, his sentence trailing off as he saw the two women hugging. Their eyes met his, and he froze. His face darkened, the leaves on his skin turning a deep, sickly green. "So... this is where your loyalty lies? With an incorrigible meat puppet?" 

The big dinosaur transformed back into Adam, who stood behind the two women. "Great work, Harley! You convinced her. Come on, Ivy, it's your turn. Show your old friend what you're made of." 

"..." Robin and Deadshot, dazed from Adam's rolling attack, struggled to their feet.

"We can't do this, Jason!" Poison Ivy stood tall. "If we make a mistake, the entire planet will be destroyed. Even if the swamp water from Louisiana helps us succeed, such an act would nearly devastate the Red's power—" 

"Do you really believe the Green can be strengthened enough to fight against—" 

"Yes! If the Green is empowered enough, it can!" Plant master retorted loudly. "I'd rather try than do nothing!"

"..." 

"Well, I quit," Poison Ivy declared. Plant master fell silent for a moment.

"What a pity," he said, a sinister grin spreading across his face. The next moment, he slammed his palm onto the ground. 

Boom!Boom!Boom! 

The earth trembled violently. A colossal hand made of countless plants burst through the surface, It was just like the giant pea vine connecting the ground and the sky in the fairy tale. Everyone looked up in horror, the monstrous hand casting a shadow over them. Countless bizarre plants, carnivorous flowers, and poisonous vines weaved a dark canopy overhead, like an inverted mountain. 

Then... the sky fell. The plants cascaded down, rushing towards them like a waterfall, as if the earth itself had been ripped open and flipped over. 

"No!" Deathshot screamed, feeling the onset of a panic attack. But then, the descending plants froze in mid-air. It was Poison Ivy! The smile on Plant master's face vanished. 

"Impossible! I consumed the Swamp Thing's tuber!" 

"Ha ha ha..." Poison Ivy's face was slick with sweat, her teeth chattering. 

"Stop him, Red!" Harley Quinn's encouragement bolstered her resolve. Poison Ivy's eyes glowed green, her red hair whipped around her. 

"Who do you think I am?" 

Plant master strained with all his might, his eyes bulging, but the plants in the sky were slowly pushed back by Poison Ivy's power. 

Drip. 

A bead of sweat fell from Poison Ivy's chin to the ground. 

Crack! 

A deafening sound echoed through the air, and everyone stared at Poison Ivy in disbelief. The red-haired plant witch walked towards the plant master, each step causing his controlled plants to wither. Her movements were strained, but she relentlessly pushed him back. She stretched out her hands and suddenly grabbed the green veins that did not exist in the human world. 

"Haaaaaa—" 

The plants collapsed, the Green retreated, and Plant master stumbled back in terror. "I am Ivy! I am Poison Ivy—and the plant world—belongs to me!!!" 

Sizzle! 

In an instant, all the plants disintegrated into ash. Poison Ivy stood panting before the stunned Plant master. The apocalyptic scene that had just enveloped the city felt like a distant dream. But the victory was short-lived. In the next second, Plant master's fist connected with Poison Ivy's face, sending her sprawling to the ground.
