Chapter 114: Violence
Wu Pifu was truly angry in his heart.
Since obtaining the title of "Pifu," while powerful—almost multiplying his strength several times over, with attacks nearly becoming true damage, and his defense within five steps reaching a shocking level—
it constantly attracted harassment and attacks. The side effect of this title made almost everyone hostile toward him lose their minds, attacking him with near-diminished intelligence.
It didn't kill people, but it was disgusting!
The Puppeteer was stunned for a moment. Seeing Wu Pifu erupt and seemingly condensing extraordinary power, it stopped sneering. Immediately, a large number of lumps emerged from its slender fingers, thighs, arms, and neck. In the blink of an eye, these lumps turned into different human heads, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds.
These heads were relatively small but lifelike, even having different expressions and speaking different words.
If someone with trypophobia were here, they might have fainted on the spot. The Puppeteer had completely turned into a mass of constantly proliferating heads and flesh, throwing countless extraordinary long-range attacks at Wu Pifu.
Curses, weakening, corrosion, fire, ice, thunder, light, darkness...
For a time, the place where Wu Pifu stood was boiling. Fire and ice flew together, darkness and light resonated, decay and proliferation coexisted. Half the room was plunged into this terrifying extraordinary destruction.
This room was not small, at least 1,500 square meters, the size of several basketball courts. Wu Pifu had slapped the Puppeteer more than twenty meters away, and he was already five steps away from it.
Meanwhile, the crowd dozens of meters away was horrified. Various extraordinary destructive waves spread to the surroundings, and everyone present began to retreat outward.
Xia Luote and Mary went without saying—one a second-rank, one a first-rank. If any extraordinary attack hit them, they would be dead beyond dead.
The red-clothed man's team was much stronger. The shirtless man and woman were Nordic Berserkers, each holding a giant axe at the front of the team, using them as shields to block the flying rocks and debris.
The three Holy See extraordinaries held their hands flat forward, light appearing on their hands, which turned into faint shields blocking in front of the two Berserkers.
The last man wearing future-style outer armor raised a cyberpunk-style crossbow. Electricity flickered on the crossbow and his hands. Clearly, this was not a technological weapon but belonged to his special extraordinary path.
These seven people were already facing a great enemy, because in front of them was the Entrance District Commander, the famous top monster of the Demon Castle, the Puppeteer!
Even the weakest commander had strength at least at the top Hero level, approaching the level of a God-Vein Hero, while the strongest commanders reached the demigod level.
And this Puppeteer was the weakest top-level Hero among the commanders, approaching the level of a God-Vein Hero.
But it was also the most special commander because it could absorb the special abilities of other human extraordinaries. Every head was an extraordinary it had absorbed, and all these extraordinary abilities could be used by it. And the most terrifying among them was the extraordinary ability of self-amplification and becoming stronger!
If it were just various long-range, damaging, and cursing extraordinary abilities, to be honest, it wouldn't be that strong, because its strength limit was set there. An elite team could kill it, so it wouldn't be called special.
But if these extraordinary powers included a large amount of self-amplification and self-strengthening extraordinary abilities, then it was very terrifying!
As time passed, the evaluation of the Puppeteer among major extraordinary factions like the Holy See was: God-Vein Hero top-tier combat power!!
Especially its defense. Among the extraordinaries it had killed, there were various self-defense enhancements from the Holy See's holy name climbing, bone armor techniques and corpse-transformation bodies from the Dark Council, Druid wood armor techniques and tree-body techniques, and various self-defense enhancements from strange extraordinary systems.
In the hunting challenges against it, there were Holy See Heroes holding holy sword-level fantasy items who couldn't even break its skin!!
Therefore, in the evaluation of major factions, the Puppeteer ranked fourth strongest in the entire Demon Castle, and above it were the Dark Archmage of the Bell Tower, the Reaper before the Supreme Hall, and the strongest Demon King!
From this, one can imagine the terror of this Puppeteer.
However, the only luck was that the Puppeteer itself was still limited by the top Hero status. After carrying so many extraordinary systems and powers, it rarely woke up. On average, it woke up for less than 24 hours per full moon cycle, and it usually woke up in the last few days near the full moon cycle. This was why so many people ran to the entrance—to brush monsters, brush fantasy items, or use the Return Room while the Puppeteer was not awake.
But who would have thought, why did this Puppeteer suddenly wake up at this time!?
With a large wave of extraordinary long-range attacks sweeping over, Wu Pifu was submerged in the rubble and debris.
But the Puppeteer didn't stop at all. It let out a "jie jie" strange laugh. After the extraordinary attacks continued for a minute, various lights began to flash on its body. Most of the heads on its body had withered, and the remaining heads had dull expressions, also letting out "jie jie" strange laughs.
A large number of inscriptions, symbols, and images began to appear on its body. At the same time, its "Pifu" color turned pitch black, with faint wood grain, and a layer of golden and black light armor. Besides this, a layer of faint black aura appeared on its body, wrapping the outermost layer. This was the black film that had appeared on its body when Wu Pifu fought the 300-year-old wild boar demon. After this, all the heads on the Puppeteer's body withered, and it turned back into that deformed state with long arms, long legs, and a long neck.
Taking advantage of the fact that Wu Pifu was still shrouded in dust and rubble, it laughed strangely and took a step of more than twenty meters, crashing directly into the dust and rubble.
The crowd in the distance was horrified. Just in that moment, they counted more than twenty kinds of self-amplification and defense-enhancing extraordinary abilities, and this was not even half of the self-amplification extraordinary skills used by the Puppeteer. At this point, everyone knew Wu Pifu was dead.
Even if he survived the long-range attacks of that level, he would definitely not escape the pursuit of the current Puppeteer. He was dead!
With this realization, even the red-clothed man, who was also a Gaia maintenance worker, showed an unbearable expression. But he didn't hesitate, immediately saying to the others: "Take this opportunity, immediately..."
Before the words fell, a sharp sound exploded, and all the dust and floating debris were blown away by an air shockwave. The crowd saw Wu Pifu slap the Puppeteer's long leg again.
Those two long legs, which looked like they had stacked countless layers of defensive extraordinary power, were broken into two sections by Wu Pifu's slap, bone fragments exposed. This slap also directly created an air shockwave, accompanied by a supersonic boom.
The Puppeteer's legs folded backward, and its entire body fell obliquely to the ground. At the same time, Wu Pifu threw both fists at the Puppeteer's abdomen. In that instant, which ordinary people wouldn't even have time to think about, the Puppeteer spread its arms, waving its palms with a wind-breaking sound, slapping from both sides like swatting a mosquito.
With another sharp explosion, the tips of the Puppeteer's two arms also broke the sound barrier, reaching the supersonic realm. However, this was actually a bit of a trick, because its two arms were at least five or six meters long when spread, and the tips reached the fastest speed like a whip, which could not be compared with the supersonic speed of Wu Pifu's fists.
Even so, Wu Pifu didn't dare to take it head-on. Within five steps, there was no defense bonus. At the moment the two arms hit at supersonic speed, Wu Pifu, in the state of a "Heart Lake," sensed their attack trajectory the moment they accelerated. His fists dropped naturally, and after taking a step forward, he stepped hard on the ground, and the two whip-like palms closed together, almost brushing his nose.
!
With a loud "pa" sound, the shockwave hit Wu Pifu's face directly. But in that instant of less than 0.01 seconds, Wu Pifu didn't even twitch his eyelids. From extreme stillness to extreme movement in an instant, the Dan energy in his body erupted violently, and his whole body's blood and blood qi surged out. His dropped fists raised again, carrying the Puppeteer's palms together and slamming them into its abdomen.
This was the first time Wu Pifu had erupted with full force since forming the Dan 100 days ago. His whole body's blood and blood qi were completely mixed in the position between virtual and real in the dantian, and then detonated. Both fists came out, nearly 200 tons of giant force erupted with the round and perfect momentum of Dan energy. The moment the fists touched the Puppeteer's palms, the palms, which had been covered with countless layers of shields, shattered directly. And the fists, without any resistance, continued to roar forward, carrying the shattered flesh and bone fragments.
The unstoppable fists slammed into the Puppeteer's abdomen.
A blood arrow mixed with flesh and internal organs shot out from its back, hitting the room wall more than twenty meters away. With a crackling sound, the wall actually crumbled inch by inch, riddled with holes by the blood arrow.
And the Puppeteer's entire body hung on Wu Pifu's arms, its body pierced by the fists. With just one strike, it was almost broken in half. Dozens of layers of extraordinary armor, defense enhancements, self-amplifications, etc., were like paper, not even able to block the damage for a second.
But even so, the Puppeteer still didn't die. Its long neck bent downward like a snake's head, and the mouth on its head suddenly tore open. A long tongue emerged from its mouth, and densely packed human heads appeared on the surface of this tongue as well.
But before these heads could chant, Wu Pifu's hands had already pulled out from its abdomen, one hand pinching the snake-like neck, and the other pulling the disgusting tongue.
"Rise!"
With a roar, Wu Pifu's hands erupted with giant force, and only painful wails and groans could be heard from the Puppeteer's mouth.
When the crowd came back to their senses, they saw the Puppeteer's broken body lying at Wu Pifu's feet, twitching constantly, while Wu Pifu held a bloody thing in his hand...
He had directly pulled out the Puppeteer's long tongue!
At this moment, Wu Pifu looked back at the crowd, covered in blood. That look wasn't actually fierce; it could even be called calm and peaceful. But with just this one look, everyone held their breath, not daring to move a single inch of their bodies.
At this moment, they seemed to see some peerless fierce beast staring at them.
Move...
And die!
