Chapter 562: Chapter 560: Fish in Troubled Waters

The Merry Troublemaker’s toys, each bearing a sinister smile, would tremulously shake their bodies like lunatics from time to time.

Suddenly, several dragonfly toys inserted themselves into the Merry Troublemaker’s head, shoulders, and lower back, and after their blades spun around, the Merry Troublemaker took off flying as if it were all a joke!

"Red Beard, you must pay for what you’ve done."

The toy soldiers, tanks, and planes all started firing. Although they were made of plastic, the bullets they shot were the real deal.

Furthermore, these weren’t ordinary bullets, but special ammunition even stronger than Demon Hunting Bullets.

Red Beard was instantly overwhelmed by the barrage, with fire and explosions causing the ground to quiver slightly, but after the dolls ceased fire, Red Beard still stood unharmed at the same spot.

By his side lay two destroyed shields, which he had used to defend himself against the bullet assault.

As a Demon Instrument Forger, Red Beard had plenty of similar little toys at his disposal.

Witnessing this scene, Wen Wen sighed softly.

Just from the battle between the two of them, it was clear that once superpower users reached the Disaster Upper Order level, ordinary humans really had no way to deal with them.

With just those toys, they could easily annihilate armies of humans with tenfold their number and equivalent equipment—and this was merely the Merry Troublemaker’s probing attack.

If it weren’t for the Hunters Association constantly maintaining balance and firmly suppressing any Superpower Organizations that dared to rise up, the world’s structure would have changed long ago.

Wen Wen himself wasn’t any less of a ’monster.’

With a flick of his hand, Red Beard pulled out a hammer flowing with molten lava from nowhere.

He swung it fiercely at the plastic soldiers, cracking the ground beneath their feet and spouting lava, which melted the plastic and then solidified into hard stones.

The loss of these soldiers didn’t concern the Merry Troublemaker. As long as his ability remained active, he could create as many of these things as he wanted.

The massive toy robots and dinosaur dolls also became active, with the robots emitting beams of lasers and the dinosaur dolls spewing long pale flames.

Despite their clumsy and rigid movements, there was no doubt that each attack carried the strength of the Disaster Upper Order.

Red Beard was not to be outdone. With a roar, his beard, fiery as flames, began to glow brightly and sear, his entire person turning into a glowing-hot iron figure.

He then took out a few of his self-forged Superpower Items and with a wild roar charged at the Merry Troublemaker’s army of toys, beginning a chaotic and complex battle.

Wen Wen watched the fray with great interest, "This Merry Troublemaker’s ability is interesting, it’s the ability to control plastic... no, it should be the power to animate toys."

"Red Beard’s strength is astonishing and his high body temperature troublesome, but his combat skills are not particularly impressive. Without that hammer, he wouldn’t stand a good chance against the Merry Troublemaker."

Barcode, on the other hand, couldn’t make heads or tails of it and felt that the combat had exceeded his understanding; if he were to get involved, he would die without a trace in a short time.

Wen Wen glanced at Barcode and laughed, "Are you scared? Hey, I guess I’ve neglected to consider that this level of fight is a bit too stimulating for you. You can leave now."

"Really?" Barcode was somewhat incredulous that Wen Wen would be so kindhearted.

"But don’t go too far. I’ll have tasks for you in the future, and when the time comes, I’ll find you," Wen Wen said, patting Barcode lightly on the shoulder.

Having received Wen Wen’s permission, Barcode immediately sprinted into the distance, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

He planned to leave the city immediately and flee far away; the further from Wen Wen, the better. Only a fool would wait for Wen Wen to come looking for him.

"Naive, oh, naive."

Wen Wen shook his head. When he had patted Barcode earlier, he left a mark on his shoulder.

With that mark, Wen Wen could locate him anytime by summoning the Containment Officer.

When Wen Wen said he would help Barcode take back the organization, it was not just talk; he was serious about it.

The Merry Troublemaker who seized the Assassins’ Organization ’Code’ would surely be severely weakened after today, and Wen Wen would only need to send a few monsters to easily recapture the organization.

Of course, Wen Wen’s purpose in helping Barcode wasn’t out of kindness, but to integrate this organization into the Foundation.

Feng Ruixing could only make the Foundation influential and wealthy in the ordinary world, but to gain a foothold in the Superpower World, Wen Wen had to put more thought into it.

Even though he had sent Weisu there before, the force there was still too weak. Having a superpower assassins’ organization would add some depth to the Foundation’s resources.

Although Wen Wen didn’t plan for the Foundation to delve into the assassination business, employing those assassins to hunt monsters was essentially the same thing; after all, it was all about getting paid for killings.

While fierce battles raged elsewhere, Wen Wen found himself with little to do.

Neither Red Beard nor the Merry Troublemaker saw Wen Wen as a significant threat; Red Beard even considered Wen Wen merely as a resource.

Wen Wen didn’t feel overlooked, though; instead, he saw it as an opportunity to sneak into Red Beard’s lair.

Red Beard had mentioned that he had long since forged the Sword Embryo of the Demon Sword, something Wen Wen was very interested in.

Although Wen Wen had already found the sword of his heart, he still needed a longsword that resonated with his own will to better exert his strength.

He quietly slipped to the back of the workshop, cutting a metal-enforced entrance into the forging room, and with a burst of Cold Qi, entered the workshop.

The workshop was divided into two areas, separated by a layer of iron net. On the outer beams, with iron locks, hung dried-up corpses.

The expressions on those corpses were fiercely terrifying, and their postures were bizarre. Ordinary people might have nightmares after seeing them.

Even in the furnace-like temperature of the workshop, Wen Wen could still feel chills.

"The souls of these corpses... have not dissipated; they are still imprisoned in their bodies, subjected to the prolonged torment of high temperatures!"

"Red Beard is using these bodies to create an environment, one suitable for the birth of a Demon Sword."

"But even if all the people here deserved their fate, this is a bit too much..."

Wen Wen waved his hand and released several Water Poker cards, detaching all the corpses from the beams. Then he started a fire, using the abilities of the Oxygen-Sucking Sheep Demon Yao to fuel it, burning them all to ash.

Within the roaring flames, something seemed to twist and dance. These things bowed to Wen Wen one by one, then disappeared into the air.

These were the souls about to dissipate, thanking Wen Wen.
