He said that if Aunt Selena didn't help, he'd drag Batman down with him!

"I... um... I understand. What are your terms for cooperation?"

"I need time to grow stronger, so I plan to stay here with you for a while. If I transform into a powerful creature, I can also help you!"

"I agree to the conditions, but please don't help me."

"Hey, you don't believe me!"

Tian Xiaoban looked down at his watch and said, "Look, I've already bragged about this. Today, give me some face and conjure up a more reliable hero for me!"

Then he looked up and said, "Watch closely, my transformation!"

"Oh!"

A blinding green light burst forth, and the light-sensitive sunglasses on the bat mask popped out automatically. Although it was still impossible to see what was inside the green light, the sunglasses protected the eyes.

When the green light faded, a strange creature, its entire body green, appeared where Tian Xiaoban had just been standing.

It jumped off the chair and looked at itself in the mirror-like floor.

"Uh... what am I... Shennong Beast, huh?"

Holy crap, even mythical beasts have DNA?

Tian Xiaoban had countless complaints she wanted to vent, but then she became happy again.

'Haha, looks like this little rascal's methods are pretty wild, he even has this kind of unscientific DNA! Perfect, perfect!'

Based on the inherited memories from her genes, Tian Xiaoban learned how to use this talent.

Transform into a divine weapon – the Shennong Ruler.

The divine weapon that Shennong Beast transforms into is a two-meter-long ice hockey stick with an emerald green exterior. It possesses unparalleled healing abilities; as long as it emits green light, the area illuminated by its light will be healed.

(Rumor has it that because its healing effects are so good, this Shennong Ruler has never killed anyone. The damage it inflicts is less than the speed at which it heals through its passive glow.)

"Very impressive ability! Batman, it seems today is your lucky day!"

Chapter 17 The Shennong Ruler Unleashes Its Power, the Beginning of Greed

Batman: "...What lucky day?"

Tian Xiaoban's cryptic words confused Batman, but what was even more perplexing was the species itself.

"You... what kind of creature are you?"

Batman felt his mind was a little blank; that was the time needed for his worldview to be shattered and rebuilt.

He had seen people turn into beasts before, but he had never seen a person turn into this kind of... strange crystalline beast.

This... looks like a magical monster made of crystals, like the kind of guardian beast that protects caves in fairy tales. It looks too abstract to recognize it as a living thing.

"This is called the Shennong Beast! It possesses unparalleled healing abilities. As long as the person isn't dead, I can bring them back to life! When Alfred arrives, I can help him recuperate and restore his body to its optimal condition!"

The Shennong beast proudly raised its head, with an expression that said, "I'm just that awesome."

Batman is quite receptive; after understanding that what he just saw was the Omnitrix transformation concept.

He was thinking about how to take advantage of this.

"Really? How effective is it at detoxifying?"

Crystal Head curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Who are you underestimating!"

"Hmph! No matter the poison, no matter the disease, I can cure it. As long as he's not completely dead, I can bring him back to life!"

Batman nodded. "That's a good ability; it'll come in handy for me." He continued, "Hmm, very good! Follow me."

"Where to go?"

Batman didn't answer. He removed all his armor and headed to the helipad.

Shennong Beast followed behind him and boarded the bat fighter together.

…………

Batman, piloting the Batplane, arrived at Gotham General Hospital with the Divine Beast. This was Gotham's largest hospital and the place with the best medical facilities.

While there are many skilled surgeons in Gotham, most people still prefer to come to this general hospital! At least they don't have to worry about losing parts after seeing the doctor. (These skilled surgeons are mostly private hospital surgeons who have become proficient through countless patients. Especially when it comes to things like kidneys, they can easily dislocate them while examining the body—they're incredibly skilled!)

The Shennong Beast was perched by the window, watching, then turned to Batman and asked, "You want me to treat the people in the hospital?"

Batman nodded and explained, "Gotham was previously attacked by a large-scale Joker gas attack. Many people went into shock from laughing hysterically after inhaling the gas, and some with poor health laughed until they suffocated."

I used fear gas to prevent them from suffocating, but it triggered heart attacks in many of them. Can you treat these?

"No problem! These are minor issues! With the Shennong Ruler, it's hard to die even if you want to!"

As they reached their destination, the Shennong Beast suddenly erupted with a brilliant green light, and roared within the light:

"Transform! Shennong Ruler!"

Through Batman's sunglasses, you can see the green crystal monster rapidly changing form in an unscientific way.

It transformed from a 1.5-meter-tall beast into a 2-meter-long... green hockey stick!

It floats in the air, a faint green light shimmering around it, full of mystery! The Omnitrix hourglass logo appears at the bottom of the handle.

Bathed in green light, Batman felt a slight warmth and itchiness in his body, and he felt his hidden injuries rapidly healing.

Previously, due to hidden injuries, those areas that would feel slightly stinging no longer hurt.

"A miraculous power!"

Feeling relaxed, Batman sighed.

And then something even more outrageous happened!

That hockey stick can actually talk! It doesn't even have a mouth anymore, it doesn't have any vocal organs, yet it can still talk!

"The Shennong Ruler passively releases healing rays, but the downside is that you can't move! Take me with you and go save people! Just let them be exposed to my healing rays, and they'll recover quickly!"

"it is good!"

Batman decisively grabbed the handle, then jumped off the plane. His cape transformed into a hang glider, and he became a giant black bat, whooshing into the hospital.

Batman's sudden appearance quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers. Two-thirds of the people there had been rescued by Batman, and they stopped to watch.

It wasn't that these citizens were particularly grateful to Batman; they were just curious about what Batman was doing here.

The GCPD officer stationed there jogged over and spoke with Batman.

Batman: "Where are the people who were in mortal danger before?"

The overweight police officer: "In the ER and the operating room! What are you doing, Batman?"

Batman: "Heal them! I brought the cure!"

"Oh! That's great! Thank you, Batman!"

Knowing where the person was, Batman headed straight for the destination.

The people around him made way for Batman.

Most of the people in the hospital were still somewhat afraid of Batman, while the children looked on with admiration.

What they were actually more curious about than the dashing all-black Batsuit was the conspicuous green hockey stick Batman was carrying.

That jarring green color clashes with Batman's dark style.

They even started discussing it.

Passerby A: "Hey, what's that green thing? It looks so familiar."

Passerby B: "Idiot, haven't you ever seen a popsicle ball before? Although fluorescent green ones are quite rare."

Passerby C: "Who knew Batman loved sports? He's always got his tools with him!"

Passerby B: "Idiot, even if you love sports, who would carry this around with them all the time!"

Passerby C angrily said, "Fuck, if you call me an idiot again, I'll shoot you dead!"

Passerby B sneered, "Oh ho! Idiot, idiot, idiot! This is a hospital. If you're so capable, just shoot me! If the doctor can save me, then you'll have to admit your marksmanship is garbage!"

"ah!"

Passerby C roared and rushed forward, engaging in a fight with Passerby B. The commotion of the brawl instantly drew away most of the onlookers, and GCPD officers surrounded the area to stop the fight.

Batman ignored them and walked through the lobby and three corridors to the intensive care unit.

He's not foolish enough to rush into the emergency room and operating room right now. That would only create conflict with the hospital and backfire.

Therefore, all he needs to do in the intensive care unit is to treat those patients whose conditions are unstable!

That way, even if Batman doesn't want to go to the emergency room or operating room, the doctor will still ask him to go in.

Click—, squeak—

The sound of the door opening caught the attention of the people inside.

"Batman? What are you doing here?"

The patient in bed number three asked in confusion.

There are 24 beds in the intensive care unit, and they are all occupied. They are all being kept alive by various life support machines, and they could die on the spot if we are not careful.

Not all the patients on the hospital beds were unconscious; there were also a few who seemed quite well and were chatting.

After Batman entered, their conversation turned to him:

"Cough cough cough, thank you Batman, otherwise I would have died long ago. Although in my current state, I would rather be dead."

"Yes, thanks to you this time, Gotham's Dark Knight!" another patient, whose body was also injured, exclaimed.

Batman paused for a moment, composed himself, and replied, "I have a rather unscientific treatment method here that can cure you. Want to try it?"

The patient smiled and said, "Give it a try. You saved my life, and I'm basically a cripple now, so it's okay to give it a shot."

"Okay! The treatment will be a little itchy!"

Batman raised the Shennong Ruler, and a burst of green light erupted.

The entire intensive care unit was filled with green light.

Those who were initially asleep woke up one after another, while those who were already awake cried out in pleasure, "Ahhh!"
