American comics: Random transformations

Alfred said with a smile.

"Looking for Bruce? Transformation?! Wow, he's become more interesting in just a few days! Is that magic?"

Alfred explained:

"According to Mr. Tian Xiaoban, it's because of that strange device on his hand that allows him to transform into aliens. It relies on gene technology!"

Just then, light footsteps sounded, and they both looked in the direction of the sound.

Upon seeing who was coming, their bodies tensed up in sync.

The person's clothes were familiar, but his face... unfamiliar!

Jason had already drawn his baton from behind, and Alfred had also pulled out a pistol from under the table.

"Who are you! How did you get in here! Why are you wearing Xiaoban's clothes! Answer, or we'll attack!"

Jason roared, waving the baton forward, full of threat.

"Wait, don't attack, I surrender! Look, the one and only Omnitrix, I am Tian Xiaoban!"

"Impossible, how could you, how could you..." Jason found it hard to say.

"Tall and handsome! Right!" Tian Xiaoban flirtatiously tossed his black hair. His height of 1.65 meters had completely surpassed Jason.

"My genes have now been adjusted, and you could say I'm the most perfect Earthling! Being handsome is normal!"

"But a few minutes ago, you were still a... such a small kid, how could you! Suddenly! Be taller than me!"

Jason spoke incoherently, unable to believe it. He suddenly felt that the world was crazy.

Tian Xiaoban also knew that his current appearance was very different from before. Even he himself was shocked, let alone others.

"Ahem, Jason, don't mind it. This is what I was supposed to look like. If I had the same food supply as today, I would have become handsome long ago! Thanks, Alfred!"

Thinking of his previous miserable life, Tian Xiaoban said: It's all tears if I say more. He really likes the life of the rich.

Alfred smiled and put away his pistol. Now that he had recognized the other party's identity, there was no need to be vigilant. He asked, "You're welcome, would you like anything else?"

"Yes, I want steak, thank you, Alfred."

"Is it the function of your watch? Can I use it?" Jason was still unwilling to give up. He couldn't accept that a younger brother was taller than him!

An smug expression appeared on Tian Xiaoban's handsome face: "Hehe, that's impossible.

The Omnitrix has a gene binding function. This thing looks like a watch, but it can actually be considered one of my organs. Without a genetic-level tool to assist, the watch cannot be taken off at all."

Watching Tian Xiaoban cut the meat with a dining knife and eat it in large bites, Jason, who was already full, smacked his lips and turned to Alfred and said:

"Okay. Alfred, please give me a glass of milk. I will grow taller in the future and catch up with him!"

"Munch! Whatever."

Tian Xiaoban ate another five servings of steak. After feeling that his hunger had completely disappeared, he decisively stopped. He probably wouldn't binge eat like this again in the future.

… … … … … … … …

"Let's go, let's go see those guys you brought!"

"Those guys are all monsters!" Jason began to show off. "Blunt force is useless. Slitting their throats will revive them, and severed hands and feet can still jump around! Moreover, they all have Joker faces! But, they are all no match for me and were easily taken down by me!"

Tian Xiaoban nodded, indicating his understanding. Hearing about their terrifying self-healing abilities, he subconsciously thought of the Court of Owls!

The optimized brain allows Tian Xiaoban to more clearly recall his childhood, his past life's childhood. Those movies and comics can be found from his memories!

The Talon assassins of the Court of Owls are biological weapons made using a rare liquid metal on Earth, "Dionysium."

But... How did the Court of Owls get mixed up with the Joker? This is seriously inconsistent with his memory.

Soon, they came to the hall again. Batman and Zatanna were nowhere to be seen.

Those Joker Talons were still using their "smiling faces" to fight wits with the air.

"These are Talon clothes! They are Talons of the Court of Owls!"

"What!" Alfred's pupils shook.

As a Gothamite, no one would not know that eerie nursery rhyme:

Beware the Court of Owls, that watches all the time,

Ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch, behind granite and lime.

They watch you in your hearth, they watch you in your bed,

Speak not a whispered word of them, or they'll send the Talon for your head.

When a story to scare children turns into a real horror story, that is—a true childhood shadow!

"Strange?"

Tian Xiaoban could be sure that the clothes they were wearing were the same as those worn by the Talons of the Court of Owls, plus Jason's combat description.

They are definitely Talons of the Owls, only they are being used by the Joker!

Tian Xiaoban squatted down and forcefully pried open their mouths. He found that special tooth on their molars.

Reach out and pull it out!

Just as Tian Xiaoban pulled out that obviously problematic tooth, the Joker Talon's body stiffened and he died.

"It seems I'm right, they are Talons! They are tools used by the Court of Owls to cleanse Gotham and eliminate dissidents. Do you know what this is?"

Tian Xiaoban shook the tooth in his hand.

Jason and Alfred shook their heads together. They were not stupid. This was obviously a denture, and it seemed to be very important to the immortal monster, so they shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Tian Xiaoban introduced with a serious expression:

"This is what makes them immortal, 'Dionysium'!"

"It can super-quickly heal the body, allow the living to obtain an immortal body, and allow the dead to become the best tools, just like them.

However, the teeth in their bodies contain 'Dionysium' diluted countless times! One can imagine how powerful high-purity 'Dionysium' is!

The real 'Dionysium' can resurrect the dead and grant people eternal life!"

"Hiss——" × 2

Jason and Alfred simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air.

Jason was shocked by the idea of immortality! If he obtained the "Dionysus Factor," wouldn't he become invincible?

Alfred, on the other hand, was terrified. He had never wanted to eliminate an item so badly. He could imagine the chaos if the lunatics at Arkham Asylum learned about this and obtained it! His master! His master would absolutely be driven crazy by them!

Tian Xiaoban tossed the teeth to Alfred, pointing at the Talons and saying:

"The stuff is in their mouths, pull them all out! Anyway, these Talons are just resurrected corpses, they have no self-awareness whatsoever.

As for these teeth, give them to Batman, he might need them.

Oh, by the way, where's Batman?"

Alfred coughed awkwardly. Nothing in the manor escaped his notice, so he naturally knew what Batman was up to, but he certainly couldn't tell these kids.

So, Alfred said with a straight face: "The Joker hasn't been caught yet, Master must have gone to catch him."

Immediately afterward, he changed the subject: "Master Jason, let's continue with your lessons today!"

"Huh?" Tian Xiaoban said with a teasing look: "Jason actually studying obediently? That's unbelievable!"

Before, when he was learning about luxury car structures at the black-hearted boss's place, Jason would always pick the simplest structures to study, like wheels, because he claimed there were too many words describing the internal parts and he couldn't be bothered to read them.

From this, it was clear that he didn't like studying; he preferred hands-on practice.

"Hmph!"

Jason rolled his eyes. He just didn't like studying, it didn't mean he couldn't learn. His learning speed was very fast!

Moreover, he learned those attack methods taught by Alfred very quickly.

"Want to learn together? I promise to teach you everything I learn!" Jason hooked Tian Xiaoban's neck, but it didn't sound like a discussion, more like a threat.

Tian Xiaoban smiled brightly: "Sure, I'm a genius, I learn everything quickly, I'm just afraid you'll feel inferior!"

Perspective shift, the Batcave behind the manor.

Tian Xiaoban and Jason had both changed into training clothes.

It had to be said that after completing the gene optimization, Tian Xiaoban's originally thin body had muscles all over, like someone who had been seriously working out for two and a half years, with clear muscle outlines and a perfect physique.

"I'll teach you basic combat first! Have you learned it before?"

Tian Xiaoban shook his head, honestly saying: "No, I usually prefer ranged attacks like throwing stones, I rely on the power after transforming for close combat!"

(Throwing stones was a unique skill accidentally developed when playing with stones by the river in his previous life. Within ten meters, he could hit whatever he aimed at. This was his famous skill when he was the king of the kids back then. He also developed the skill of shooting marbles, which was also a sure hit! Relying on this skill, he once earned all the marbles from the kids in the whole village.)

"OK, then watch carefully!"

Jason gestured with his hands and feet, teaching some basic combat moves: "Straight punch, hook punch, leg kick, slip step, knee strike, elbow strike, grappling, wrestling, dodge!"

These were the most practical and commonly used combat moves, the purpose was to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible.

After Tian Xiaoban watched it once, he felt, uh, how should he put it? He had learned it.

In Jason and Alfred's shocked eyes, Tian Xiaoban replicated Jason's movements.

The posture was powerful and forceful, not like a newbie at all.

After practicing it once, Tian Xiaoban shook his head and began to optimize it, the moves and actions began to become "rounded," um, more in line with his own body to use.

"Holy crab! You must have practiced before!"

Jason couldn't believe it.

Alfred: "Master Jason, don't swear!"

Chapter 20 Subsequent Farce, Digging Pits

"But, Alfred! Did you see that? He just learned it like that! This is unscientific!"

Alfred just smiled and didn't say anything, wasn't his master also a genius who learned everything quickly?

"Indeed very unbelievable, Jason. But, this world doesn't lack geniuses. And I, am one of them." Tian Xiaoban shamelessly praised himself.

Jason wanted to refute, but couldn't say anything.

"Butler Alfred, can I play with the computer?"

Tian Xiaoban suddenly looked at the Batcomputer, which was half a wall big, with shining eyes.

After realizing how awesome his current talent was, he was now like a dry sponge, needing to absorb knowledge to enrich himself, and the computer was obviously an efficient learning channel.

"You may, but not this one. Please wait a moment, I will prepare one for you!"

Alfred turned and went to the warehouse to get a laptop developed by Wayne Enterprises.

"Okay, thank you, Alfred."

Jason was still unconvinced, he planned to have a one-on-one fight with Tian Xiaoban.

Tian Xiaoban readily agreed, the two touched hands, and Tian Xiaoban knocked Jason to the ground in three seconds.

Jason looked at the ceiling blankly, his eyes losing their light.

Tian Xiaoban felt that he couldn't undermine his confidence too much, what if he broke him? That reckless idiot wouldn't be gone, would he? That wouldn't do!

Tian Xiaoban walked over and pulled him up from the ground, cheering him on: "Come on, Robin, I'm optimistic about you~ I hope you don't lose so quickly next time!"

Jason was instantly blown up, angrily walking to the side and starting to work out.

Tian Xiaoban smiled slyly: "Heh, young."

… … … … … …

On the other side, Commissioner Gordon felt his head starting to hurt again, even though it had just been treated by Shennong Ruler not long ago.

But this time it wasn't physical pain, but a kind of mental torment.

"Mr. Mayor, I've said it many times, I have no way to order Batman! Nor can I ask for things from him!

Moreover, Batman said that the thing has lost its magic, it's just an ordinary hockey stick.

No! I'm not in league with Batman! I'm a Gotham police officer, always will be! I'm not Batman's little brother!"
