I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

Who knows what kind of trouble Dr. Hugo could stir up, but at this point, it was the only option left.

"Good!"

Dr. Hugo's smile was exceptionally bright.

Over the next few days.

Li Wei didn't leave his room, spending his time sleeping and assisting Dr. Hugo with alchemy experiments at Indian Hill Hospital.

There was no other choice; Li Wei was the only one available to be an experimental assistant at Arkham Asylum.

Compared to the werewolf experiments originally conducted by Singed, the experiment on Stan was much more complex.

At the very least, the original werewolf experiment by Singed used a complete, living human subject.

It was like the difference between renovating a bare-bones apartment and renovating a fixer-upper.

One could start construction immediately, while the other required stripping away all existing renovations before work could begin.

The first problem to solve was Stan's skeletal structure, otherwise, he was just a shapeless mass that was impossible to work with!

Dr. Hugo first used channels from the Court of Owls to obtain a metallic element called Promethium on the black market, using it to build a skeleton for Stan.

This made Li Wei look at the Court of Owls a little differently, but only a little.

Once the skeleton was built, the next step was to suture it to Stan's body.

It was during this stage that Li Wei finally understood why Dr. Hugo was called the "resurrection point for Gotham's villains."

He displayed incredibly exquisite dissection skills.

Perhaps after integrating Singed's alchemy knowledge, it could be called art!

That's right.

Art!

Although Stan's condition was dire, even after Li Wei's "electric shock" resuscitation, his body parts were almost unrecognizable.

Yet, in Dr. Hugo's hands, the skeleton made of Promethium was perfectly integrated into Stan's body.

Stan's body finally regained a human form.

At this point, scientifically speaking, Stan was completely dead, with no possibility of revival.

After all, no one could survive having their chest cavity opened and their entire body dissected!

But...

This wasn't science; it was alchemy.

The next step was figuring out how to make Stan's heart beat again.

Dr. Hugo adopted a method combining alchemy and modern medicine.

He and Li Wei worked together to create a small mechanical device to act as an artificial heart.

However, unlike an artificial heart in a hospital, this "artificial heart" wasn't an electronic device powered by a battery; it was a drug pump!

The pump was filled with Rage Potion and connected to the arteries, simulating the heart's function of circulating blood.

Stan's blood had already been drained and replaced entirely with Rage Potion!

It's worth noting that although Viper Potion was green, the Rage Potion synthesized from it was a dark red.

Compared to the bright red of blood, it wasn't particularly jarring.

After completing all this.

If judged by the biological standards of death, Stan could technically be considered revived.

Driven by alchemy and the drug-pump heart, his organs had gradually begun to function again.

However, the only problem now was that Stan still hadn't woken up and showed no signs of consciousness.

The experiment entered a long-awaited pause.

Dr. Hugo wasn't worried; the essential elements for the werewolf experiment were all present: death, alchemy, potions...

Li Wei was also at a loss. He had done everything he could; the rest was up to fate.

If it wasn't absolutely necessary, Li Wei would never have granted Warwick's Hero Template to Stan before he regained his own consciousness.

Who knew if the Stan who woke up would still be Stan!

Furthermore, the closer the host was to the Hero Template itself, the stronger the power derived from fusing the template would be, in terms of personality, experiences, and so on!

This was one of the reasons Li Wei didn't insist on Dr. Hugo waiting for Stan to arrive before conducting the werewolf experiment.

They waited like this for two days.

On the midnight of the third day, which happened to be a full moon.

Just as Li Wei was about to fall asleep, a loud bang from the depths of Arkham Asylum interrupted his drowsiness!

Immediately following it was a fierce and mournful howl.

"Awoooo..."

Chapter 35: Mad Dog Unleashed

Hearing the long, drawn-out howl under the moon, Li Wei's spirits lifted!

The werewolf experiment was a success?

Li Wei didn't have time to think too much. He immediately got out of bed and ran to the Indian Hill Hospital underground.

By the time he finally reached the Indian Hill Hospital, Dr. Hugo was already waiting for him outside the laboratory door.

The scene that unfolded before him made him realize the true destructive power of a werewolf!

Stan had regained his vitality.

It was just… a little too much vitality.

Stan had now shed his previous frail appearance, his body rippling with fierce muscle.

He glared with blood-red eyes, filled with ferocity, as if he wanted to tear apart everything in front of him.

Saliva continuously dripped from his mouth onto the ground, creating small pits as it corroded the metal floor!

He let out ferocious howls while incessantly pounding on the laboratory glass.

The restraints originally used to secure him on the experiment table had been broken by Stan's brute force; all the restraints were snapped at their roots.

As for the experiment table itself, it had already been thrown aside. Faint cracks on the laboratory glass were proof of what had happened here.

After waking up, Stan had tried to break the glass and escape!

The loud noise Li Wei had heard upstairs was Stan smashing the glass with the experiment table.

Fortunately, Wayne Enterprises had used high-end materials when constructing Indian Hill Hospital, otherwise, this beast would have likely escaped long ago!

However, it was clear that as Stan continued to pound, more and more obvious cracks appeared on the glass, indicating that this tempered glass wouldn't hold for much longer!

"Stan! Hey! Stan!" Li Wei called out twice through the glass.

But Stan seemed completely unable to hear him. In fact, because Li Wei had approached, he began pounding on the glass even more violently!

"Dr. Hugo, what happened? How could this happen?" Li Wei frowned, looking at Dr. Hugo beside him.

Dr. Hugo shrugged.

Clearly, he didn't know either.

Dr. Hugo usually lived in Indian Hill Hospital when he had nothing else to do, making it convenient to monitor the experiment's progress at all times.

But by the time he arrived, Stan was already like this.

He had no idea what had happened to Stan, only that according to Singed's…

For Li Wei, the problem wasn't the strength Stan had gained from the werewolf experiment.

If he wanted to, he could still easily deal with the frenzied Stan, as he possessed the combined power of Khada Jhin, Singed, and Warwick.

What troubled him most was how to handle Stan in this state.

The tempered glass of the laboratory couldn't hold on much longer under Stan's assault. Once the glass was broken, given Stan's current condition, it would be difficult to control him without drawing blood.

"Crack, crack, crack…"

Before Li Wei could come up with a solution, the sound of breaking glass rang out.

The sound grew from small to large.

"Crack!"

With a sharp snap, the laboratory glass shattered completely!

"Roar!" Stan roared, tearing apart the window frame and leaping out.

In reality, neither Dr. Hugo nor Li Wei were afraid. Although Stan looked ferocious, neither of them was weaker than him.

"Ah… I… I've become a monster…" The moment he saw Li Wei, a flicker of clarity flashed in Stan's eyes, and he mumbled incoherently.

But this brief clarity quickly vanished, replaced by endless bloodlust and ferocity.

"Blood! Fresh blood!" Muffled roars emanated from his throat.

The next moment, Stan lunged violently, but not towards the two in front of him.

He unleashed astonishing leaping power, soaring over Dr. Hugo and Li Wei's heads and charging directly into the adjacent laboratory.

The most ordinary iron door couldn't even withstand Stan for a second!

After the laboratory door was torn open, Stan pounced inside like a hungry tiger!

Li Wei and Dr. Hugo exchanged a glance.

Although neither of them knew what Stan was up to, they immediately followed him.

Upon entering the laboratory, Stan's nose twitched. He lunged directly for the experiment table, tearing apart a cabinet on it with a casual swipe.

Then, he pulled out a blood bag and began to drink greedily!

Blood continuously spilled from the corners of Stan's mouth, mixing with his corrosive saliva and dripping onto the ground, emitting a sizzling, corrosive sound.

Li Wei and Dr. Hugo stood at the laboratory entrance, looking at the scene before them, speechless.

Li Wei felt a surge of joy; the werewolf experiment seemed successful for now, but it could still be perfected.

Normally, when Dr. Hugo conducted experiments, especially biological ones, he naturally required various types of blood. His laboratory was always stocked with different blood supplies, just in case.

Dr. Hugo felt a pang of concern for his experimental reserves and stepped forward to stop Stan, but Li Wei held him back.

"Wait a moment, Dr. Hugo."

Dr. Hugo could only stop reluctantly and follow Li Wei to observe the situation.

Stan, like a parched desert encountering a sudden downpour, mechanically took bag after bag of blood from the cabinet. He didn't care what species the blood came from, relentlessly repeating the action of tearing open the bag and drinking it down.

Li Wei and Dr. Hugo watched him quietly.

Only when the blood reserves in the cabinet were completely depleted did Stan turn his head to look at the two by the laboratory door.

Perhaps it was because the blood he had drunk had taken effect, appeasing his body's craving for blood, that Stan's scarlet eyes finally regained a sliver of clarity.

"Blood... I need more blood..." Stan gritted his teeth, struggling to suppress his urge to attack Li Wei and Dr. Hugo.

Li Wei turned to look at Dr. Hugo.

Dr. Hugo shook his head helplessly, indicating that there were no more blood reserves.

Li Wei raised an eyebrow. No blood?

Could Gotham possibly be lacking blood?

Especially now, with the ever-changing situation outside in Gotham.

After Stan exposed Weizhan Pharmaceuticals' illegal activities last time, Gotham had only been calm for two days.

The city hall then proposed a plan – the Arkham District Development Plan.
