Chapter 371: A Major Event - Wild Alliance (4)

The bad news brought by Cyborg didn't shake Batman's resolve. The most important thing right now was to find out the cause of the bestial transformations so he could find a way to solve everything.

He brought Golden Glider back to the Batcave, but since there wasn't a bed in the Batcave that could accommodate Golden Glider after the transformation, Batman had no choice but to let him lie on the ground. To prevent him from suddenly waking up and hurting someone, the net trapping Golden Glider was, of course, not removed.

Sampling, testing, and a series of other tasks were naturally very familiar to Batman and Alfred. After so many years as a superhero, even Alfred had learned a lot of knowledge that he hadn't even encountered when he was a special agent. It could only be said that he'd learned it by osmosis.

After temporarily handing over the testing work to Alfred, Batman temporarily shifted his attention to the Justice League members.

The situation was not as optimistic as Batman had thought. At first, the targets of the bestial transformations were only members of the Justice League. Although the transformed League members were powerful, they were few in number and not very intelligent, so as long as they held their ground, they would be easy to deal with.

But it was different when ordinary people started transforming. After testing by League members, these ordinary people, even after turning into beast-men, didn't have much improvement in their physical fitness. The powerful strength of superhumans could still easily injure them.

This led to the Justice League members being restrained in battle. Supermen and Wonder Woman, for example, could only fight while retreating, battling their opponents while avoiding ordinary beast-men.

"Beep beep beep!"

Batman's eyes narrowed, and his communicator rang.

"Batman, this is Yang Le." Yang Le's voice was a little strange. Batman knew that after Yang Le transformed into other forms, his voice would also change to some extent.

"This is Batman," Batman replied. "What's the matter?"

"I've discovered the truth about the bestial transformations."

Batman's pupils shrank, and he immediately asked, "What's the cause of the bestial transformations? How did you discover it?"

Yang Le, who had transformed into an electric lizard, glanced at Black Lightning, who was lying at his feet, and then looked at the starfish he was holding and continued, "I encountered the transformed Black Lightning and beat him. When I wanted to further examine Black Lightning's condition, a red starfish-like creature crawled out of Black Lightning's mouth after he had lost consciousness, wanting to crawl into my mouth. Of course, it was impossible for it to succeed."

Yang Le wasn't showing off how clever he was, because even if Yang Le was caught off guard, the Omnitrix would save him. Facing this kind of parasitic enemy, the Omnitrix had more than one way to deal with it.

"I've sent you a photo of the starfish. According to my speculation, this thing is very likely a variant of Starro."

Batman opened the email that Yang Le had sent him and saw a picture of a red starfish-like creature. Just like Yang Le said, it really looked like Starro. Of course, just looking similar wasn't enough to draw a conclusion.

It just so happened that Batman had also captured Golden Glider. If everything was as Yang Le said, then all he had to do was get the starfish out of Golden Glider's body.

Batman was about to ask Yang Le how he got the starfish out when he heard an unnatural voice behind him.

Batman immediately turned around, and when he saw what was behind him, he was shocked. A canine beast-man with fur the color of a Doberman Pinscher was baring his teeth at him.

"Alfred?"

Batman looked at the beast-man in front of him with a complicated expression. Although his body had torn the clothes on his body, the tattered clothes were still easy to recognize. That very sophisticated tailcoat was the best proof of his master's identity.

"Awooo!"

The transformed Alfred shouted and pounced towards Batman. Batman took out the grappling hook gun from his belt and pulled the trigger towards the ceiling. The grappling hook shot out quickly and firmly grabbed the ceiling. Batman pressed the button, and the rope connecting the grappling hook and the gun body quickly contracted, taking him away from the spot.

Taking advantage of the aerial advantage, Batman looked at the unconscious Golden Glider, who was still in his beast-man form.

Batman's eyes sank. Alfred had turned into a beast-man, but Golden Glider hadn't turned back. Either there was more than one Starro variant in Golden Glider's body, or Yang Le was lying.

"Awooo awooo!"

The transformed Alfred was so anxious that he jumped up and down, looking at Batman who was hanging on the ceiling. He didn't have the ability to attack high-altitude targets.

Batman looked around, wanting to check the situation inside the Batcave first. When he saw the instrument used to test Golden Glider, he was stunned.

That instrument was an X-ray scanner. Obviously, before the transformation, Alfred had already found the answer to the transformation. Under the X-ray scanner, Golden Glider's body was clear at a glance, of course, including the pentagram-shaped shadow in his body.

'It seems that Yang Le is right,' Batman thought, but he didn't notice the sneak attacker behind him.

"Bang!"

A powerful flying kick hit Batman's back. Batman was suddenly attacked and was forced to release the grappling hook gun in his hand and fall to the ground. If he fell from such a high altitude, the lightest injury would probably be a fracture.

Batman quickly adjusted his body, opened his bat cloak, glided to the ground, chose to roll to dissipate the force as soon as his feet touched the ground, and then turned around and put on a defensive posture, looking at the sudden attacker.

"Ra's al Ghul," Batman said solemnly, pronouncing the name of the person who came.

"You're still the same as before, nothing has changed." Ra's al Ghul looked at Batman squatting on the ground with his hands behind his back.

"No, that's not right. I can feel that your vitality is far less than before. Why? Is it because the heavy work is pressing on you and making you breathless, or are you slowly getting old?"

Batman ignored Ra's al Ghul's ridicule and asked coldly, "Is this beastial transformation incident led by you?"

"Yes and no." Ra's al Ghul showed a playful smile. "As I expected, you really found out the cause of the beastial transformation phenomenon. If I don't come to make trouble for you, you will definitely bring trouble to me."

Ra's al Ghul glanced at the X-ray scanner and then smiled at Batman: "I was still very distressed about how to deal with you, after all, even I have to admit that I don't have 100% confidence that I can take you down, but your loyal servant gave me a good idea."

After saying that, Ra's al Ghul took out a whistle of unknown material and blew it.
