American comics: Random transformations

“Time is money!

I don't know if the Omnitrix can transform again next time!

I must cherish the time!”

Saying encouraging words, the architectural genius Steve, used his invincible right hand to chop down trees.

The tree trunk was hammered apart section by section, and the leaves and canopy floated strangely in the air!

With enough resources, Steve easily created basic tools such as a workbench, wooden axe, and wooden pickaxe.

Then he continued to chop down trees and made a storage box!

After he made the storage box, he emptied his backpack and then started smashing rocks with a wooden pickaxe non-stop.

All the stones exposed in the forest became his target!

After all the large stones were smashed by him, Steve made a stone pickaxe and a furnace at the workbench!

He kept silently counting in his heart, his transformation time was running out!

With this little time, it would definitely not be enough for Steve to build a house!

But it was still possible for him to dig out a large enough underground space!

So, with the help of tools, Steve quickly waved his stone pickaxe and dug into the exposed rock!

Digging inward for 20 blocks, and then starting to widen it.

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, a 420-square-meter space was dug out by him!

(In order to prevent accidents! Steve also made a lot of load-bearing walls in this underground space! To ensure that this space can still exist safely after the transformation is released!)

After the space was opened up, he moved the workbench, furnace, and storage box all in!

420 square meters is enough for him to use!

“Beep beep beep… Beep!”

“Oh no! Time's up! I knew I should have built a door!”

Just as Tian Xiaoban ended his transformation, the original square pillars gradually became rounded, as if adapting to the world's rules!

The workbench and furnace also lost their magical creation abilities and became ordinary workbenches and ordinary furnaces.

The storage cabinet... it's hard to describe, it has been burst open by the wooden sticks and other debris inside, and now it is a large pile of mud, wood, and stone mixture.

Fortunately, Steve didn't put too much soil and ore in it.

Otherwise, this newly opened underground base would be gone!

Chapter 9 Batman Investigates in Secret

Looking at the pile of mixture that filled a large room, Tian Xiaoban helplessly covered his face and smiled: “Okay, I have a lot to do next!”

He casually picked up five scattered wooden boards, which were the fragments of the storage box, and he also picked up the nails on the workbench.

Although the workbench does not have the magical square synthesis function, as a workbench, the tools on it are still very complete!

“Although the nails in the toolbox are limited, the other tools are very complete.

Fortunately, I learned carpentry in my previous life, so I can save a bit! Let's get to work!”

After some hammering, a wooden box was made by him.

With the wooden box as a container, Tian Xiaoban relied on this tool to quickly transport that pile of mixed wooden sticks and soil.

There is no need to throw these things away, Tian Xiaoban piled the mixture at the door, and then made a mound of soil as cover, uh... although it looks like a grave.

There are many ready-made canopies around, which can be used to decorate the grave.

After the Omnitrix's transformation failed, those canopies floating in the sky were recaptured by gravity and fell to the ground.

“emmm, did I forget something?”

Tian Xiaoban always felt that he had forgotten something very important!

Thinking while working!

When he was panting and carrying the last load of soil, he suddenly remembered, “Damn, I forgot to ventilate this base!”

After losing Steve's power, this place is completely unsuitable for survival.

Tian Xiaoban couldn't survive in an oxygen-deficient extreme environment.

Thinking about it this way, Tian Xiaoban felt that he had actually dug a tomb for himself!

“There is no electricity or ventilation here, except for being hard enough, there are no advantages.

It feels... there is no difference between this and a grave!

Haha, let's just call this base 'Tomb of the Living Dead'! Haha!”

After an awkward self-consolation, Tian Xiaoban sat against the wall near the exit and fell asleep peacefully, moving things was really too tiring!

Especially after the transformation ended, he was very tired and hungry!

Let's think about the base after waking up.

… … … … … …

A new guest came to the Batcave.

“Wow! Is this your secret base?

In such a large underground cave! Cool!”

Jason looked at everything in the Batcave in shock, it was so cool here!

This dark metal-style platform, this half-wall-sized computer screen, the bat-style tools focused on by various spotlights.

This car, this plane, this motorcycle, this submarine, and the complete sets of bat suits in the display cabinets, really made Jason's adrenaline soar, and he was extremely excited, simply too high!

“Yes, all my equipment is here.”

Bruce Wayne, who had just finished taking a shower, looked at the excited little guy in front of him with a smile on his lips, wearing his red pajamas.

Yesterday, when he finished his investigation and was about to go back, he saw this little guy disassembling the Batmobile!

Moreover, the four tires of the car had been removed by the little guy.

The one who was so bold as to dare to remove the tires of the Batmobile was Jason Todd, who acted that night.

Then, Batman felt that Jason was a courageous and promising talent, and he happened to be short of a Robin assistant, so the next day, Bruce Wayne adopted Jason as his adopted son.

Now, he is taking Jason on a tour of the Batcave.

“Ah! It's so cool!” Jason looked at the Bat motorcycle with shining eyes, touching it left and right.

If Batman hadn't been staring at him, he would have jumped on it and ridden it.

Bruce Wayne introduced: “That is Robin's motorcycle, his name is Dick Grayson, your brother.”

Jason Todd's eyes lit up, Robin is also one of his idols, and he immediately asked: “Wow, where is my brother now?”

“…”

Bruce Wayne was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: “He had disagreements with my ideas and has now gone to other cities.”

As soon as he heard that his cheap brother was actually going against Batman, admiration instantly appeared on Jason Todd's face.

“OK, got it!

My brother is very individual! So cool!”

Bruce didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he said to the butler:

“Okay, Alfred, take him to rest!

After he wakes up, teach him some basic training methods.”

“Okay, Master Wayne.

Master Jason, this way please.”

Alfred led the way with a smile on his face.

Just after Alfred took Jason Todd away, Bruce Wayne walked to the display cabinet and put on his equipment.

When the bathrobe transformed back into the black Batsuit, the ruthless Dark Knight was online once more.

He sifted through the data on the Batcomputer, all the information Batman had gathered in recent days now stored within.

"After the factory explosion, Gotham's wealthy actually paid to clean up the site. The autopsy reports from the factory contain samples of fear toxin, and there's a mysterious organization with a green symbol. Why would it appear at that factory…?"

Batman's gaze sharpened beneath the mask, relentlessly searching for clues within the existing information.

"There are too many cases in Gotham recently, the clues are too scattered. Or… maybe these are two separate incidents!"

The more Batman thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

First clue: The aftermath of the factory explosion, the Elliott family placing an order to clean up the factory – very suspicious.

Second clue: The Elliott family had a long-term partnership with Arkham Asylum. They likely have a channel to obtain the formula for fear toxin from Scarecrow.

Third clue: All the dead were working for the Penguin, and the Penguin has been 'missing' for the past few days. Batman hasn't been able to find him!

Batman had already investigated the factory, and he didn't find any raw materials for fear toxin there. The fear toxin was only found in the bodies of the deceased.

This indicates that the factory wasn't a place for manufacturing the toxin, and they inhaled the fear toxin before they died.

As for Scarecrow, he was still in Arkham Asylum at the time. This is certain because Batman just returned from Arkham Asylum, with surveillance footage from those days as proof.

So, who is it then?

Who is using fear toxin, and what are they trying to do?

What role is the Penguin playing in all of this?

The more he pondered, the more questions arose. Batman pulled up the real-time surveillance.

The screen showed Scarecrow in Arkham Asylum. He was sleeping, showing no signs of wanting to cause trouble.

Seeing him so docile, Batman switched the screen.

This time, the surveillance showed the Penguin's Iceberg Lounge.

Since the factory explosion, the Penguin has vanished from the public eye.

Even with several newly formed gangs trying to seize his territory, the Penguin hasn't appeared!

This is very strange!

"Perhaps, the primary objective now is to find the Penguin! He must know something!"

The surveillance screen changed again, this time showing the Joker!

The Joker was still the same as ever, grinning foolishly at the camera, his smile extremely manic and wicked. Those familiar with him could also detect a hint of mockery in his grin.

Batman was ensuring that the Joker hadn't escaped. Gotham was already chaotic enough; the Joker, that troublemaker, absolutely couldn't be allowed to get out.

… … … … … … … …

Gotham's Joker, in person, was currently working diligently.

He was rapidly stitching together corpses under his expert manipulation, extracting the large teeth from the bodies and replacing them with another type of metal teeth called "Dionysus Factor."

These metal teeth contained the "Dionysus Factor," which had the effect of resurrecting the dead!

After resurrection, the corpse would become a Talon of the Court of Owls!

And the Joker was now playing the role of a Talon assassin for the Court of Owls – ruthless, cold, and taciturn.

The Joker had used a scheme to trick and kill a Talon, pulled out his special teeth, installed them in himself, and completely replaced his identity! Relying on his fearless acting skills, he played the image of a Talon very convincingly.

Today, he was assigned here, to the factory where Talons were made.

After understanding what kind of magical liquid was contained within those Talon teeth – the "Dionysus Factor" – he felt an unparalleled excitement!

"Truly, hahahaha, perfect! Truly perfect! This is a treasure that will allow me to play games with Little Bat forever! It's too perfect!"

Chapter 10: Joker: Carnival Time

Just as the Joker began to chuckle, all the Talons around him stopped their movements.

They were Talons, emotionless biological weapons, beings who did not laugh!

This one, who was clearly laughing, was very abnormal!

Their cold gazes all focused on the chuckling, shrugging Talon.

The Joker knew he had lost control, so he decided to drop the act and reveal his hand!

"Ah~ oh! I've been discovered! Pfft~ Hahaha, they just realized, haha~ hahahaha!"

Laughter echoed throughout the factory.

All the Talons reflexively charged towards this gleeful psychopath, wanting to kill him on the spot.

However, they underestimated this madman.

Through years of sparring with Batman, the Joker's skills were no less than Batman's. Moreover, now that he had the help of the "Dionysus Factor," his combat power could be said to crush all the Talons present.

However, crushing them was one thing, but Talons were just as difficult to kill as he was. With the help of the "Dionysus Factor," they could ignore injuries to any part of their body except for the head.

Any wounds that appeared would be quickly healed by the "Dionysus Factor." Exchanging injuries was a Talon assassin's specialty.

However, the fake teeth containing the "Dionysus Factor" were embedded in their mouths. If their head fell off, or that fake tooth fell out! Then, the Talon assassin would die very simply. After all, these Talons were just corpses activated by the "Dionysus Factor." (High-purity "Dionysus Factor" can completely resurrect a person! However, the Talon assassin's fake teeth contained a "Dionysus Factor" that had been diluted countless times. Besides being able to repair their physical damage, it was no longer able to achieve complete resurrection. They, the Talons, were just brainwashed living corpses.)

The Joker was caught off guard when a Talon ambushed his face. The Talon's hooked gloves slashed four deep wounds across his face, blood staining his pale cheeks red.

The Joker grinned hideously. He swung his knife backhand, using the Talon's standard dagger with the force of a machete, splitting the Talon's head in half.

The Talon, losing its head, was like a robot whose energy had been drained, instantly dying.

"Pah!" The Joker spat out a mouthful of blood. "Too weak, too weak! You don't even have the strength to hit someone, how dare you call yourselves assassins? You're far too inferior to Baby Bat! If he got his hands on me, he could definitely smash my teeth! Hehehe!"
