American comics: Random transformations

"As long as they're not dead, I can save them!"

"You? A cat?" Dick Grayson's expression was very strange. Could this cat also transform into some kind of Shennong beast?

"Uh, Dick, I think you'd better respect Garfield a little. This guy is terrifyingly strong now. I estimate that the number of people on the entire Earth who could beat him wouldn't exceed ten."

Although Tian Xiaoban spoke very seriously, Dick didn't listen very carefully. He didn't want to waste any more time.

"Listen, guys, I don't have that much time to waste with you.

I need to go investigate Batman's situation immediately. It's getting dark soon, and I think you can go to the nearest hotel for the night. I'll reimburse you for the money."

Dick wasn't stupid. Batman had already stated in his files that Tian Xiaoban's combat power was very unstable. Therefore, don't try to get him involved in important operations; he's uncontrollable.

Letting them rest at a hotel was better than bringing them along.

Tian Xiaoban raised an eyebrow.

'Am I being looked down upon by Nightwing? Damn it, I have a bad temper! I've even argued with God, would I be afraid of these little shrimps from Gotham?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!'

Before Tian Xiaoban could speak, Garfield the cat had already swung his cat-cat fist.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Dick felt an unparalleled force on his face, a force that took him and spun him around wildly before slamming him hard into the wall of the hall.

Garfield the cat: "Hey! You weird little cross-dresser, don't underestimate me! I'm very strong!"

Dick felt pain in every bone in his body. The originally troubled emotions were forcibly awakened by the pain.

He suddenly realized that this cat, who could talk and fight, was definitely not an easy character.

"Oh… shit, what kind of monster is this? Did you also take super-powered drugs? Didn't LexCorp say that animals can't take super-powered drugs? It will cause genetic collapse."

"Uh, his strength is innate, an alien creature.

By the way, don't you recognize him? Alfred is very familiar with Garfield! Didn't he mention it to you?"

"I just came from San Francisco. I just went to see Alfred an hour ago, and I haven't even been back for an hour before I ran into you guys!"

"Ah, this… Could it be that you don't know either?"

"Nonsense, if I knew, I wouldn't have to investigate myself! Hiss—"

"Uh, yeah, that's true. Garfield, help."

Garfield the cat's paws glowed, and he used his healing power. Dick Grayson's whole body pain was instantly relieved, and he also smelled a faint fragrance of grass and trees, [Aromatherapy].

"Cool, let's go, I'll take you to find Alfred."

Having recovered, Dick rushed towards the Batcave in a hurry, with Tian Xiaoban and Garfield the cat following behind.

"Ban, are you sure this kid was trained by that Batman guy? Why does he seem so impetuous?"

Tian Xiaoban expressed his understanding and explained:

"If he weren't arrogant, would he still be called a young man? I estimate that he's in the middle of his rebellious phase. I don't think he's even practiced the boxing techniques I left behind; he's so weak.

Forget it, let's just treat it as helping Alfred raise a child."

"Emmm, you don't even look 13 years old!"

"Shut up! Garfield!"

Just as they were speeding towards Gotham Private Hospital.

… … … … … … … …

On the other side.

In a suburban research institute, four men are with Batman, playing a "game" in his consciousness.

Bane, Penguin, Scarecrow, Riddler.

The four of them entered Batman's consciousness through a strange machine. It was a machine made by the Mad Hatter, allowing the mental consciousness of the four of them to take the lead and conduct lucid dreams, which is to say, to mentally torture Batman.

This cost Penguin a lot of money. If it weren't to explore what kind of secret this spandex-wearing paranoid had that allowed him to withstand brain death without dying, he wouldn't have been willing to spend the money.

Last time, Penguin was also in charge. He brought a large group of super-powered individuals and beat Batman to the point of brain death.

According to the mercenary, her hair could cause instant brain death and prevent the hospital from finding the cause.

But miraculously, Batman survived. Not only did he survive, but he also became even more ruthless.

Batman knew they had super-powered drugs, and his attacks were aimed at breaking their bones. Even if they used the drugs, it would take a long time to recover.

This made Penguin very curious, so he gathered many talents to dig out this secret.

Batman was stubborn and refused to speak even after being tortured for three days. Then, someone said, "If only we had Inception technology, we could know all the secrets."

The pressure immediately fell on the Mad Hatter, whose hat had the ability to brainwash; it was a brainwave controller he had developed.

But this was ineffective against the resolute Batman; it was impossible to brainwash him.

Later, the Riddler, who had been watching from the sidelines, whether it was a brain fart or a moment of inspiration, said, "Since your brainwave controller can't control him, can you amplify other people's brainwaves and then use human brains to deal with Batman's willpower? Don't forget, what we have the most of here is people."

After the Riddler finished speaking, he pointed proudly at himself. He wanted to say that his brain was completely smarter than Batman's and could definitely restrain him and extract information.

Shocked by this idea, the Mad Hatter asked Penguin for a [Smart Drug] worth $3,000.

[Smart Drug] is a type of super-powered drug that can stimulate a person's brain to reach the level of a super genius. No matter what they think or do, their brain can be clear and logical. However, this drug has a side effect. Once it exceeds 24 hours, after the effect wears off, the user will directly fall into a coma for three days! During these three days, they need to be given nutritional fluids for their body functions to return to normal, otherwise they will die directly.

It is also considered one of the more dangerous drugs in LexCorp's product line. No one except mad scientists would use it.

The Mad Hatter's brain instantly shone with inspiration, and he spent a whole day creating this [Dream Inception Device] at the moment of inspiration.

Due to the [Smart Drug]'s time limit, the Mad Hatter fell into a coma for three days.

Therefore, the remaining people needed to wait for him to wake up, and for this developer to introduce the operating principles and main functions of this machine.

Simply put, it can amplify one party's brainwaves to the maximum while affecting the hypnotized person, achieving an effect similar to [Dream Inception].

Of course, this is the most ideal effect. If the person you want to hypnotize has a strong will, then their brainwaves will be very "stable." Once other people's brainwaves collide with it, it's like a bald head hitting a bell; once or twice is nothing, but after a few more times, problems will arise, either a mild concussion or permanent intellectual disability.

In other words, as long as there are enough people and one party's brainwaves are strong enough, no matter how strong the will is, they can't stop them! It's like iron skin that can't be penetrated by a rifle can be penetrated by a machine gun; using quantity to win!

However, due to the rush, this three-no-product cannot connect to too many consciousnesses, otherwise the internal processor will easily overload.

Therefore, there are four people bravely breaking into Batman's brain.

Because these four all believe they are no less intelligent than Batman, and their willpower is definitely not weaker.

Bane, Penguin, Scarecrow, Riddler.

Four people simultaneously attack Batman's will, building a labyrinth around his consciousness and playing a "game":

Batman's consciousness sensed the four invaders, so he split into four avatars to resist, operating on multiple threads.

Bane brought Batman to a boxing ring. They create the environment of the maze, modifying it as they please. This boxing ring is the battlefield he prepared for Batman. He wants this bat, who always runs around in the real world, to know what true power is!

Batman only used 1/4 of his consciousness avatar to fight Bane, but unfortunately, he was utterly defeated.

Realizing that Bane was a tough nut to crack, 1/4 of his consciousness became 2/4, weakening the other areas to increase the power and speed of his consciousness against Bane.

This operation of his caused the Batman consciousness that the other three were fighting to feel rather dim-witted.

They were also having a great time bullying the incredibly stupid Batman, feeling very accomplished, except for the Riddler.

"Holy mackerel! You can't even answer such a simple question correctly, are you really Batman? You're not giving me any sense of accomplishment!"

The most depressed was the Riddler. He wanted to match wits with Batman, but this one clearly lacked computing power, getting stuck on a small problem for a long time.

Where's the sense of accomplishment in that? It's simply an insult to my brain.

The Riddler was fed up. He wanted to get rid of this foolish, stupid Batman and find the smartest Batman.

Then he discovered that he couldn't kill him here. He couldn't kill this stupid Batman, shooting him wouldn't work, stabbing him wouldn't work, and headbutting him wouldn't work either.

So, the Riddler listed what he thought was the most difficult riddle, letting this stupid Batman slowly guess while he went to find the other Batmen.

Passing through the walls of the maze, he floated into the sky and saw Scarecrow in the corner, frantically scaring Batman.

That Batman looked like a child, shivering with fear from Scarecrow's lewd laughter.

"Boring, only a tasteless person like Scarecrow would bully a child!"

Then, the Riddler continued searching.

In the maze set up by Penguin, he saw an even more outrageous scene.

The foolish Penguin was teaching Bruce Wayne how to become a true businessman.

The Riddler had already guessed Penguin's idea, which was to implant the idea that businessmen are friends into Batman's consciousness, and then use this idea to pry into his secrets.

"Idiot, if Batman could really be imprinted with an ideology, someone would have done it long ago."

The Riddler was referring to the Mad Hatter, who had always wanted to brainwash Batman into becoming his partner. But the Mad Hatter didn't expect that Batman could resist the brainwashing of the machine and even overload it with his willpower. It was outrageous.

Brainwashing with a machine didn't succeed, so Penguin's gentle approach was simply a waste of time!

The Riddler shook his head and left. He floated a little further and saw a boxing ring.

Bane was giving Batman a "bone setting", crushing every bone in Batman's body, a brutal scene.

"Why do these two brainless guys seem smarter than my one?"

He saw Batman using his willpower to heal and set his own bones, and then still managing to hit Bane a few times with his broken body.

"Okay, I take back what I said, this one doesn't seem that smart either."

Chapter 124: Batman and the Riddler

"Seriously. Watching two muscle-bound idiots fighting here is torture! It's an eyesore!"

The Riddler scratched his head irritably, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him.

"Eh? Why don't I go and see the depths of his consciousness? It must be very interesting there, hahaha..."

The Riddler, acting on his thoughts, directly passed through the consciousness maze they had built together and drilled into the depths of Batman's memory.

........

Gotham Wayne Enterprise's private hospital: Thomas Hospital.

A private hospital led by Thomas Wayne, next to a research institute, specializing in the research of special medicines for some incurable diseases.

It is one of Wayne Enterprise's industries, possessing the top medical conditions in Gotham City. All medicines for incurable diseases in the world have corresponding stocks here.

This is also the hospital that Batman visits most often, besides the Batcave.

Alfred was lying in the recuperation ward. It takes a hundred days to recover from bone and muscle injuries, and his injuries require recuperation.

However, the old butler was not idle. It was his leg that was broken, and it was already in a cast. Now he was just inconvenient to move, and his hands were still normal.

He was constantly checking on the portable computer brought by Dick Grayson for things he missed during his coma.

"Alfred! We've come to see you!"

Dick Grayson greeted as soon as he came in, bringing Alfred, who was focused on the internet, back to his senses.

"Young Master Dick, hmm? Young Master Ban and Mr. Garfield. What's this about?"

Tian Xiaoban nodded to greet him, then pointed to himself and Garfield: "Garfield and I just came back from another world, and we ran into Dick as soon as we got back. Also, Alfred, what's wrong with you? Where's Batman?"

Alfred shook his head: "I don't know where Batman is. I was attacked by a group of superhumans while investigating the missing persons case. If it weren't for the super-powered medicine I was carrying, I might have been killed by those strange superpowers."

That night was a nightmare. All kinds of strange abilities were used on Alfred, all aimed at killing him.

It was a miracle that Alfred survived.

Even though Alfred had 24-hour recovery superpowers, his leg still hadn't recovered. It seemed that the self-healing ability was blocked by another superpower.

Fortunately, the force that was preventing self-healing has now disappeared, and the leg is starting to recover normally.

Alfred wasn't in a hurry to give himself another injection of healing superpower medicine. He was already in the best hospital, so there was no need to use this kind of medicine with certain risks.

Moreover, the so-called healing superpower didn't have the effect he imagined. It could be blocked by other people's superpowers, which meant that this thing had fatal weaknesses and shouldn't be blindly believed, otherwise it would be easy to fail.

Garfield the cat ran onto the bed, and green light was released from his body. [Aroma Therapy] was activated, and the surrounding air immediately became fresh.

The people who smelled this fragrance were all refreshed, and Alfred could feel his leg in the cast tingling, and soon it was no longer painful. The thigh regained its health and was strong and powerful.

In Alfred's mind, the importance of that healing potion was reduced again. The healing ability shown by Garfield the cat was the real healing.

Dick Grayson exclaimed: "No matter how many times I see it, this healing ability is really amazing."
