American comics: Random transformations

The Celestial Group's Garfield stayed there, multitasking to manage Hell.

--------------------

“Couldn't you open the door a little more accurately? Why so high? Trying to play bungee jumping!”

At this moment, Tian Xiaoban and Garfield were falling from a height of 3000 meters in free fall, without any protective gear. The strong wind blew against them, slightly distorting their faces.

Tian Xiaoban roared at the cat:

“When you grabbed the space battleship, how were you so accurate? But when it comes to opening doors, you just open them in the sky?”

Garfield spread his paws helplessly: “You have to consider my current form. Ben, I'm just a cat now, pitiful, weak, and helpless. It's already good enough that I can open a portal.

I'm just an avatar, and I don't have much energy in my body. It's already pretty good that I can open a portal from Hell to here.

Besides, we can both fly, we won't die from falling.”

Despite what he said:

“I lost my footing and started falling in a crazy spin. This feeling of disjointed movement is terrible! If you dare to screw me over like this again, I won't bring you along.”

Garfield was annoyed and couldn't stand it. Tian Xiaoban shook him back and forth, making his head hurt.

“Alright, alright, stop shaking me, watch me!”

Garfield opened another portal, this time below their falling forms, and they fell straight into it.

Immediately, they flew out of another portal in the opposite direction, from the ground upwards, and then were captured by gravity again, falling back to the ground.

Garfield landed perfectly on all fours, without making a sound.

“Haha, playing bungee jumping like this is not bad!”

The other one was more miserable.

“Yeah, if you hadn't opened the portal in a cactus field, I would have liked it more.”

Tian Xiaoban was golden all over, and the clothes on his body were burned clean again by the powerful electric current. Thanks to the power of his lightning armor, he didn't turn himself into a hedgehog in the cactus field.

Although unharmed, it was a pity that his clothes were gone.

“If I didn't know that the weakness of this move is burning clothes, I would have thought you were an exhibitionist.”

Garfield climbed onto the nearest tree, watching Tian Xiaoban pull himself out of the cactus field.

“Damn it, that's not funny, make me some clothes. I remember that the Eternals' clothes are indestructible, have your main body get me a few.

Also, I want casual wear! Absolutely no jumpsuits or ancient general's uniforms.”

“You have so many requests… Alright.”

A small wormhole opened, and a medal-like blue necklace floated out, with the infinity symbol “∞” on it.

“After putting it on, gently tap the symbol, and the clothes will appear. However, the clothes are not indestructible, they will still burn.

But with this necklace, you don't have to worry about burning clothes. It's made of Hell alloy and cosmic energy. Unless someone is stronger than my main body, it can't be damaged at all.”

“I didn't expect you to be so reliable. Except for your avatar, which isn't that great.”

Garfield: “Fussy, you got a divine artifact for free, just enjoy it.”

Tian Xiaoban put on the necklace and clicked “∞”. A set of casual clothes suitable for autumn and winter appeared on Tian Xiaoban's body.

“Okay, next… where do you want to go?”

Tian Xiaoban asked Garfield.

The cat raised its paw: “I want to find Afu. Last time I was inexplicably abducted, this time I have to take a good look at him when I go back.”

“Okay, let's go, I'll teleport this time, don't mess around.”

“Oh.”

… … … … … … … … … … … … …

With a flash of white light, the space shifted.

Fortunately, Tian Xiaoban had left positioning coordinates in Wayne Manor before.

They came directly to the manor.

As soon as they appeared, the alarm sounded quickly.

Dozens of machine guns lit up from various shadowy areas, and dozens of red dots were already aimed at Tian Xiaoban and Garfield.

Tian Xiaoban complained: “This scene feels very familiar? No way, something happened to Batman again?”

Under the nearest machine gun, there was a small speaker, and a slightly younger voice, without any phlegm in his throat, said with a hint of anger:

“Who are you? How did you get here?”

Tian Xiaoban raised his hands, taking care of the other party's emotions.

“OK OK, buddy, don't get too excited, I'm here to find Batman. I'm a magician, and I brought my cat out of another dimension. If you don't believe me, you can ask Alfred.

He should be able to prove our identities.”

… …

On the other side, Nightwing, who was awakened from his sleep by the alarm, didn't know whether he should open fire or not.

“This is Wayne Manor, there is no Batman here. Alfred the butler is not here today, you can wait two days and come back.”

Tian Xiaoban shook his head: “Listen, I don't believe you haven't heard of me. A guy like me is like a firefly in the night, so dazzling, so outstanding. I don't believe Batman hasn't set up a countermeasure plan for me!

Oh, right, let me introduce myself, you can call me Tian Xiaoban, but I think I'd be happier if you called me Brother Ban.”

“You are so shameless.” Garfield complained from the side.

Nightwing: “Holy crab! The cat is talking!”

Tian Xiaoban was speechless. Who is on the other side! Is it Nightwing Dick or the third Robin Tim?

“Idiot, the point is not the cat, the point is that you quickly take down the machine guns, we are Batman's partners! If something happened to him, tell me quickly.”

Nightwing was silent, because he had just found the information from Batman's confidential files:

Name: Tian Xiaoban

Gender: Unknown (Male before transformation, gender unknown after transformation.)

Ability: Possesses a watch called Omnitrix, which can modify the holder's DNA. Preliminary judgment is that it is an alien item, and it has terrifying energy inside.

Response Plan: [Plan One], [Plan Two]… [Plan One Hundred and Eight]… [Plan Two Hundred and Five].

“Shit, what kind of monster is this? The countermeasure plan is ranked two hundred and five!”

Dick Grayson clicked on [Solution Six] in amazement:

Unknown planet's beast, code-named Shennong Beast. It possesses the ability to transform into a green stick form, with terrifying healing capabilities, able to cure all terminal illnesses and near-death injuries. Its weakness is that it cannot move in stick form and needs to transform into its beast form to move.

Suggestion 1: When it transforms into stick form, seal it in a long, metallic safe! Seal it tightly! Isolate its healing rays to prevent anyone from noticing them and releasing it.

Suggestion 2: Time limit. Limit Omnitrix transformation time to about one hour to consume time during beast form combat.

Suggestion 3: The healing process consumes its energy, requiring food and rest. Within the effective time, take it to several hospitals to treat the masses while depleting its power.

Suggestion 4:… …

… …

The solution contained a long list of outlandish suggestions.

Nightwing Dick Grayson was unsure whether the creature outside was friend or foe.

While continuing to research, Dick Grayson saw a line of small text at the bottom of the file.

It read: Treat him with delicious food, and you will receive unexpected benefits - Alfred.

Dick Grayson struggled with this for a long time before finally choosing to trust Alfred.

"This time, I trust Alfred! F*ck you, Batman! I will never become you!"

He deactivated the manor's automatic defense system and left the Batcave, using a secret passage to reach the manor.

… … … … … …

Tian Xiaoban watched as the machine guns automatically retracted into the ground, realizing that the other side knew about him.

"Let's go, Garfield. It seems there's a lot going on here."

Garfield nodded: "Phew, hopefully Alfred is inside."

The two entered the manor villa familiarly.

Chapter 123: Batman Trapped in a Nightmare Game

Dick Grayson wore his black battle suit, modified from Batman's suit, with a blue bird emblem on his chest replacing the bat symbol.

He stood in the villa's hall, waiting for the man and cat to enter. He was quite nervous, as he was about to face a monster for whom Batman had compiled a large file.

"I recognize you!" Tian Xiaoban spoke first. "You're Dick Grayson, the first Robin. My brother Jason Todd is the second Robin. I've heard him talk about you; he even idolized you."

"… …" Dick was taken aback. Alfred had told him about Jason, the poor brother who died at the hands of a villain.

The sudden mention of it made Dick's expression stiff, and unsure of how to respond, he could only change the sad topic:

"Yes, but now I'm working solo; you can call me Nightwing."

"Hello, Dick, I'm Tian Xiaoban, and this is Garfield. We just came from another world and don't know what's happening here. Can you tell us?"

"Another world?"

Dick was dumbfounded. He hadn't formed the Titans team yet, and his worldview hadn't been shattered and rebuilt by Raven, so he was unfamiliar with the concept of other worlds.

Tian Xiaoban nodded: "Yeah, a dimensional world called Hell, full of demons and demon kings. If we hadn't been lucky, we almost wouldn't have made it back."

"Sh*t, don't tell me there's a Heaven too."

"Eh, you guessed it. Not only is there a Heaven, but there's also a shameless God."

However, the second half of this sentence sounded to Dick Grayson like "There is also a great God."

Dick retorted: "? Are you a believer? Doesn't seem like it."

Tian Xiaoban paused for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, I'm not. Oh, I get it! Damn God! Could it be that I'm being targeted, and I can't even curse him anymore!"

Tian Xiaoban's expression went through a triple take: bewilderment, realization, and outburst. He showed a state of cursing, but his words were full of praise.

Dick also noticed something was wrong and frowned: "What's wrong with you? You're talking nonsense."

"It's nothing; just think of me as being cursed by a damn demon, and now I can only praise God.

Let's not talk about this. We just got back and are out of touch with society. Please tell me, what exactly happened here?"

Tian Xiaoban changed the subject. That petty God was probably watching him, and it would be pointless to talk about it with Nightwing, an ordinary hero without supernatural powers.

"Curse?"

Dick Grayson didn't quite understand, but hearing the content of the curse and seeing that Tian Xiaoban didn't have any extreme behavior, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Sigh, never mind, I don't understand it either. As for Batman… he's missing."

Tian Xiaoban revealed a black question mark face.

"What? No way, that's outrageous.

I came here a month ago, and he turned into a vegetable; I come back a month later, and he's gone missing? Is Gotham really that exciting?

How long has he been missing?"

"Seven days. The latest mission file record is from seven days ago. He went to investigate the cooperation between the Bane gang and the Penguin. Then he disappeared."

"Then where's Alfred? Where is he?" Garfield was a little anxious, concerned about the generous butler who fed him.

"Alfred is in the hospital receiving treatment. I just got back, so…"

Dick Grayson's eyes were full of sorrow. He received news from Alfred three days ago and assumed Batman could handle it, and he had a case to investigate, so he was two days late.

After understanding what had happened here, he deeply regretted not coming sooner. Alfred was still recuperating in the hospital.

"Tell me the hospital; I'll go find him."

Garfield darted onto Dick's shoulder and patted Dick's face with his paw.
