His Spider-Sense detected an extremely strong threat, but the Green felt a surge of... hormonal activity.
The two abilities produced opposite results within Connors' body. Seeing that Batman was about to recover from the illusion and defeat Scarecrow, Connors quickly made his escape.

"No, no, no..."
If he hadn't allowed Scarecrow to release the toxin during the concert, it could have caused a mass panic and stampede involving tens of thousands of people. Connors definitely wouldn't have gotten involved.
He was a gossip-monger, not a savior. He just helped out because he had the ability to.
Over at the Stadium, a large amount of solid ice covered it. There were nearly ten thousand spectators watching the concert inside, and he decided to go and investigate.
Batman didn't have to exert much effort to break free from the illusion created by Scarecrow's Fear Toxin.
As for subduing Scarecrow, who wasn't particularly strong to begin with, Batman easily took him down.
However, he didn't smile because he easily handled Scarecrow. Instead, he looked at the weeds that had grown from the cracks in the ground, spelling out a sentence:
"Thank me quickly."
Poison Ivy wouldn't do something like this. The only other person in Gotham who could control plants and was in such a mood was Connors.
"If he hadn't intervened in time, the Fear Toxin filling an entire Stadium would have been a disaster. Strictly speaking, he's not entirely bad, is he?"
Alfred, the butler, said with a smile over the intercom.
"Even so, I'm going to visit Poison Ivy tonight to see if she knows anything about this Connors... He might not become an ally, but Gotham City doesn't need so many villains anymore."
Batman said in a low voice.
"That's unfortunate. Poison Ivy couldn't be reached, and according to my surveillance just now, Poison Ivy has already left the Gotham Forest and entered the city."
Alfred, the butler, said with feigned regret, then continued to ask:
"So, is the dinner with the big star Xue Xi tonight still on?"
Seeing Bruce Wayne remain silent, the butler picked up the phone on his own and began making arrangements for Young Master Wayne, the playboy, to go on a date with the actress.
Batman fired his grappling hook, one end attached to the Batplane overhead, the other tied to Scarecrow, allowing Alfred to control the plane and take Scarecrow away.
The tanker truck left behind was full of Fear Toxin. Batman also arranged for the butler to secretly transfer it to his Batcave.
He then quickly ran towards the Stadium. His heat vision showed it was freezing cold there, and he needed to hurry over and see.
As for not being able to contact Poison Ivy, he couldn't search everywhere. Since this singer named Xue Xi was actually a superhero, having dinner together wouldn't hurt.
Batman thought to himself.
...
"...You really like being tied up, huh?"
Connors looked at the singer Xue Xi, who was tied up in a new way again, and said with a laugh.
"Wuwuwu..."
Xue Xi was both angry and annoyed, but couldn't speak. Green had already appeared on her face, and plants began to grow strangely from various parts of her body.
After using the ice to escape from the Silk's binding, she also realized that her ten thousand spectators in the Stadium were in danger and decisively used the solid ice to seal it off.
However, during the sealing process, the surrounding plants were inevitably frozen as well. So, her plan to return to the stage to stabilize the situation hadn't even begun when she was tied up by a woman who appeared like a ghost and could control plants.
"Ivy, if you kill her, I won't be able to hear such beautiful singing anymore."
Harley Quinn had contact with Poison Ivy at Arkham Asylum. With her intervention, Poison Ivy didn't deliver the fatal blow.
However, in Xue Xi's eyes, after very, very strangely leaning in and kissing her, Poison Ivy quickly left with Harley Quinn.
She wanted to continue using her ice ability to untie herself, but it wasn't until Poison Ivy left that she realized her body was becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Then, Connors arrived.
Waving his hand to loosen the vines, Connors caught Xue Xi as she fell from the air, and he already had a general understanding of her condition.
This appearance, with a face full of green and grass growing on her body, was definitely caused by encountering Poison Ivy.
Possessing the same 'Green' ability as Poison Ivy, Connors naturally knew how to save Xue Xi.
"Looking at you like this, you won't live long—"
Knowing he could save her, Connors wasn't in a hurry and deliberately tried to scare Xue Xi.
His prank was effective. Xue Xi, who was glamorous and incredibly confident on stage, heard these words. Coupled with her inability to move and her powers being useless, her pupils immediately Enlarge in fear, and tears were about to stream out.
"I can save you, but the method will be a bit special. If you agree, blink your eyes three times."
Connors saw that the big star was about to cry and quickly stopped teasing her. After he finished speaking, he saw the other person's large eyes with long eyelashes blink three times in a row, without any hesitation.
Having received her consent, Connors no longer hesitated. He held the stiff and immobile Xue Xi in his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her.
A lingering fragrance on his lips...
But Connors was careless.
What Poison Ivy left in Xue Xi's body was indeed a virus, and Connors could indeed resolve it. However, the residual hormones caused things to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
After one kiss, Xue Xi's body recovered rapidly. Her skin became smooth and tender again, her lips were soft and inviting, and her body was no longer stiff but incredibly soft.
—At the same time, her whole body began to feel incredibly hot.
Poison Ivy's hormones were still at work.
"No..."
Connors sighed in his heart and waved his hand, causing the abnormally growing plants left by Poison Ivy to form a tightly sealed small wooden house.
Inside the wooden house was a large bed made of soft grass mats.
This was on a rooftop not far from the Stadium, with taller buildings nearby. Connors only had time to control the plants to complete all of this before his clothes were forcibly torn off by Xue Xi.

"Young Master Wayne, according to body analysis, one of the people inside this room is the singer you were supposed to have dinner with tonight—oh, I'll cancel the date right away."
The butler said over the intercom, suppressing his laughter. Batman had searched the area for a long time and finally found something unusual, but he didn't expect it to be this scene.
Bruce Wayne sighed. His keen hearing could hear the red lips that were supposed to produce beautiful singing now making the sound of sucking on something. He turned and jumped off the building, leaving.
Searching for Poison Ivy couldn't be delayed any longer!
