American comics: Random transformations

He also pulled up the nearby surveillance footage and found that the cameras had been "malfunctioning" for at least fifteen minutes.

"He got away?"

Just as Batman was getting frustrated at being one step too late, Scarecrow arrived with the main force of Gotham.

Scarecrow's control over the crowd was limited. Otherwise, he would have driven over in an electric car. But unfortunately, electric cars move too fast, and the crowd couldn't keep up.

Moreover, once Scarecrow got too far from the group, those in the back would uncontrollably leave the formation.

Batman spotted him immediately.

At this moment, Batman was wearing a full suit of silver-gray powered armor. Green fluorescent light emanated from the joints of his armor, and his eyes were covered in a ghostly blue glow. His mouth was no longer exposed but formed a whole with the helmet. The overall style was heavy, solemn, and deadly.

He also had a gun and a dagger on his waist. The bullets in the gun and the dagger were made of Kryptonite, definitely weapons capable of killing Kryptonians.

… …

"Wow~ Wow~ Wow~, look what I see? A fully armed bat! Looks like you're finally scared, terrified! You know I'm dangerous now! Hahahaha… …"

Having dealt with Batman for so long, this was the first time Scarecrow had seen Batman fully armed.

A sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously!

Look, look, look, the lunatics at Arkham Asylum should see who is the one who can bring fear to Gotham!

'Not the Joker, and not Batman, they are just foils for me, Scarecrow! I am the true fear of Gotham!

The King of Fear, that's me, Scarecrow! Hahahaha… …'

"You should go back, or I don't mind sending you back paralyzed."

The electronically synthesized mechanical voice was full of coldness. The blue light in his eyes flashed, scaring Scarecrow into shrinking back into the crowd.

"Haha, threaten me? Batman, what are you going to fight me with?

I have at least a thousand people here, and you're just one person. What can you do to fight me?"

Scarecrow hid in the crowd, yelling like a dog held by a leash, barking madly and acting arrogantly.

Batman didn't waste any more words. He went to the back of the Batmobile and released a large number of small drones.

This was the reason he was late. A total of 1,000 small drones, each equipped with an antidote to the fear toxin.

The newly developed antidote could be released as a liquid, just like the fear toxin, and quickly transform into a gaseous state.

The drone swarm spread rapidly, with two or three flying towards Scarecrow.

Bang! Bang!

White liquid neutralizing agent was sprayed from the circling drones, like pesticides, across the entire area.

Before long, the liquid agent quickly turned into a white mist, spreading rapidly through the crowd.

The agent entered the noses of the Gotham citizens, and one by one, the citizens who inhaled it collapsed!

In short, they were knocked out by the drug.

Scarecrow was stunned. He kicked one of the fallen citizens: "Get up! All of you, get up for me! All of you, attack Batman! Now is not the time to sleep!"

The citizen who was kicked only twitched a little and didn't react much.

"The effect of the anesthetic prevents them from getting up. You're the same, Scarecrow. As long as the agent comes into contact with the skin, it will take effect."

Hearing this, Scarecrow also noticed that his limbs were starting to stiffen. Then, his balance was broken, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.

"I was clearly successful, I'm not… resigned to this…"

Scarecrow's tongue was also paralyzed, and he couldn't speak anymore. He went from elation to great sorrow in just a few seconds.

The scene of the fallen citizens and the only standing Batman was eerily familiar.

… … … … … …

"What is this stuff?"

Jimi Garfield, who was purifying the air, looked at the incoming drone with confusion. He watched the drone rotate and spray water like it was spraying pesticides, and felt it was quite interesting.

"Could it be something Penguin came up with?"

So, he asked, "Hey, is that you, Penguin? You were able to come and help so quickly?"

The drone's surveillance was top-notch, capable of uploading the images to Batman's computer in detail and scanning the winged Jimi Garfield.

A certain Batman sitting in the car: "Penguin? Could it be sent by the Penguin? Has the Penguin contacted the magical world?"

Jimi Garfield guessed that he had mistaken the drone as he watched it being silly. Any technology that Kowalski participated in could never be so dull.

"If you're not Penguin, then get out of here, don't get in the way!"

The white little face revealed a contemptuous look. Such rubbish technology was not intelligent at all.

The drone obediently flew upwards.

Jimi Garfield sniffed the rising white mist with his little nose, sneezed, and complained:

"Good heavens, the antidote and the anesthetic are mixed together, and there's more anesthetic than antidote. What kind of genius came up with this idea!"

If an ordinary person smelled this, they would definitely lie stiffly on the ground with stiff limbs at a very fast speed.

However, the mere anesthetic simply circulated through Garfield's body and disappeared.

But, the antidote was not completely useless. The effect of [Seed Flash] could be strengthened by this anesthetic.

"Eat my [Seed Flash] with a radius of two kilometers!"

Puff puff puff puff! Puff puff puff puff puff!

He once again purified the air and made the flowers under his feet bloom even more vividly and beautifully.

"Perfect! I really am a genius! Hahahaha… …"

Garfield used flowers to spell out a cat's head, and narcissistically stroked his chin and laughed smugly.

All of this was recorded by the drone in the sky.

Batman in the Batmobile narrowed his eyes, his mind frantically searching and calculating the target's threat level.

At the same time, he thought about the way this guy spoke, it seemed like Ben Tennyson, whether it was the tone or the strange way of thinking, it was really too similar.

However, he didn't have a green hourglass-like symbol on him.

So, who exactly is this guy?

Alfred had told Bruce Wayne about Garfield's ability to transform.

However, Batman carefully recalled the types Garfield could transform into, and confirmed that there was no hedgehog-like form.

"A magical creature from another dimension? Or an alien creature with wings? Judging by its appearance, it seems to like the fear toxin. Could it be a native life form attracted by the fear toxin...?"

Although Batman's thoughts were chaotic, he could come up with plans to deal with this little guy frequently. How to capture and study this little guy was already part of the plan.

......

A large number of drones were spraying medicine everywhere, and the toxin on the ground had been successfully controlled and was no longer a threat.

Now, the main problem was the toxic cloud in the sky. There was no good solution yet. Should they use artificial rain to drop the antidote from above? Or should the citizens of Gotham keep the antidote handy and wait two days... Let the rain wash away the toxin in the sky before considering anything else.

"Mew?".

(Garfield, where are you? I've taken care of everything here!)

Shaymin Xiaoban was using the contract link to notify Garfield, telling it to prepare to use the [Rain Dance] or [Blizzard] skill to bring the fear toxin above the city down so they could deal with it.

[Heard you, heard you, don't rush me.]

Shaymin Garfield instantly changed form, from a grass hedgehog to a long-winged seagull.

Seeing this familiar image, Batman's train of thought, which was originally focused on how to deal with it, suddenly stalled. He suddenly realized: "Oh, it's him."

Immediately afterward, the [Rain Dance] skill was activated. The green clouds in the sky collided with each other, thunder and lightning flashed continuously, followed by rain, a heavy rain.

The rain fell harder and harder, and the rainwater falling on the car windows was green.

Shaymin Xiaoban kept using [Seed Flare], taking advantage of the dense toxin to create a field of green grass covered with flowers.

The power of the grass-type skills increased, and Shaymin Xiaoban used [Aromatherapy] to control the surrounding grass environment, preventing it from being destroyed by the toxic rain.

Long-winged seagull Garfield, after a wave of [Rain Dance], followed it up with the skill [Blizzard].

Green ice flakes fell from the sky, and green snow visibly appeared on the ground.

The heavy rain and blizzard quickly cleared the green clouds in the sky.

Once the dark clouds dispersed, the sky brightened, and the sunlight shone into Gotham. The green snow reflected the sunlight onto the surrounding buildings, making the atmosphere of the entire Gotham look ghastly green.

Shaymin Garfield and Shaymin Xiaoban quickly began to purify the air and environment.

Batman's drones were running all over the city, spraying medicine in various corners to neutralize the toxins of the fear gas.

The citizens who were knocked out by the medicine woke up in the [Aromatherapy], and seeing the direct sunlight and the cloudless sky, they instantly felt refreshed. They were glad that they had survived!

It seemed that this Gotham crisis had passed.

......

Chapter 77: Follow-up, Elemental Power Comes Knocking

Beep beep beep beep... Bang!

[Ah, time's up!]

Shaymin's little hedgehog image, in the strong red light behind him, changed back into Tian Xiaoban.

Fortunately, there was no one around him now, and the people nearby had already been thrown into the house by him.

Around him was only the fresh air of the grassland.

"The matter is resolved, go find Garfield."

Tian Xiaoban followed Garfield's contract induction and ran wildly in one direction.

......

Shaymin Garfield was still continuing to clean up the toxic snow on the roadside.

Relying on its ability to eat anything, it ate all the way, and that pile of toxic snow was just a uniquely flavored popsicle.

At the same time, [Seed Flare] greened the ground all the way, and the vegetation on the ground where it passed was frantically stimulated to grow. Grassland could appear out of thin air, and the trees on the roadside green belts became bigger and thicker. The whole vibrant style suppressed Gotham's negative energy.

Gotham would also "rebel". Those suppressed negative energies turned into fine needles. The negative energy needles broke through the life-filled lawn and pierced into the bodies of Gotham citizens. Those negative energies aroused the desires in their hearts at this moment.

Shaymin Garfield was running and running, when it suddenly noticed something was wrong. It was running in front, but there was still a bunch of people chasing behind it.

Due to the miracle shown by Shaymin Garfield, the citizens of Gotham regarded Shaymin Garfield as a divine beast-like existence.

Such a living treasure appeared in front of them, and it still wanted to run?

Wealth moves people's hearts. Driven by desire, their bodies couldn't help but chase after the grass hedgehog.

As long as they caught it, becoming the next Gotham billionaire wouldn't be a dream!

Garfield in Shaymin form also had the ability of telepathy. The undisguised greed of the people chasing it was almost catching up with the appetite of the gourmet cells in its body.

"Tch, a bunch of idiots, want to catch me? You're two ten thousand years too early!"

Crackle~! Current drive.

Shaymin Garfield's speed instantly doubled, and the green figure turned into an afterimage, leaving a golden-green afterimage line. Those despicable bipedal beasts couldn't catch up at all!

"Holy crab! Huff huff~ huff~ It runs really fast! Huff huff~..." A citizen stopped helplessly, really unable to run anymore. The intense exercise had exhausted the negative emotions in his body.

The vast majority of people were still chasing.

"Money, don't run! Huff~ huff~ Money!..."

"...huff..."

Da da da da, da da da da~~~

The roar of motorcycles came, and they looked back to see that it was a group of Harley-riding gangsters.

"Get out of the way, you poor ghosts who can only run. We, the Maroni gang, want this guy!"

The Maroni gang members threatened fiercely.

The Falcone gang members directly retorted: "Shut up, you idiots, this is clearly the property of our Falcone Mafia! If you dare to touch it, we'll blow your head off!"
