Wu Wang walked up to the fish monster, lifted its chin with his finger, and leaned in close with a grimace. "I have nothing to do with Him, nor any intersection, yet He inexplicably targeted me. This is enough to prove the chaotic nature of this world."
"And to align with this nature, I won't surrender just because He is powerful. I will do things that make me happy and enrage Him!"
"I don't know how He tracks me, but what if this entire city is filled with people who are like me? Will He still be able to find me?"
"Once this city descends into complete chaos, the demon hunters will swarm in. By then, you will also become their targets. This place will turn into a chaotic battlefield, and I can calmly watch, appreciating this grand spectacle."
"Tell me... when all of you have died in this city, will the so-called ancient god feel pain?"
The fish-person shook its head, flung off Wu Wang's hand, and looked at him mockingly. "The ancient god's power is inexhaustible. To think you could escape the ancient god's pursuit is a fool's dream."
Wu Wang shook his head. "I like playing games, especially with those who possess good things and good abilities!"
"I've been playing this game for many years, and I've always won, so I have many good things in my possession... things you can't imagine."
He extended his hand, and a strange insect, over a foot long, crawled onto it.
The insect's color was consistent with human skin, and it had two rows of long legs on each side of its body. At first glance, it resembled a giant centipede.
Wu Wang affectionately stroked the insect. "This bug was cultivated by my soul. It possesses the same aura as me, and its offspring will also have the same aura..."
"I paid a great price and only managed to cultivate this single adult. Now, I will let it hatch inside you and rapidly procreate using the flesh and blood of the monsters here."
"The larvae will grow rapidly using your blood and flesh, burrowing into the bodies of humans or monsters, driving them to follow their innermost evil instincts. By then, this city will be teeming with people or monsters with my aura causing trouble..."
As Wu Wang spoke, the fish-person began to panic. It did not want to become a breeding ground for these strange insects.
But immediately, Wu Wang grabbed its chin, preventing it from closing its mouth. Then, the hideous creature crawled entirely into the fish-person's body.
"Enjoy yourself slowly. You have three days left to live..."
With that, Wu Wang descended the building in a bizarre dance, laughing maniacally.
He had set up a barrier here using a containment item. For three days, no one would be able to discover this place.
However, despite his laughter, Wu Wang felt a pang of regret.
He had spent years cultivating that insect, which could inhabit the bodies of disaster-level superhumans or monsters and control their actions.
Allowing the insect to reproduce, while it could indeed create numerous troublemakers with his aura as he claimed, would result in the insect breaking free from his control. Furthermore, he would have no way to control the offspring.
Once the insect was released, it would only bring chaos.
But if this plan could help him escape the pursuit of Oyès Water City, then this sacrifice would be worth it.
Upon reaching the ground floor, Wu Wang stopped smiling and resumed a normal demeanor. He stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up. "Perhaps those bugs alone are not enough. If I'm going to flip the table, I might as well create some real commotion..."
...
As dusk gradually fell, over a thousand auxiliaries and numerous police and military convoys entered Huashan City, sealing off all entry and exit points and prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
The entire city of Huashan was placed under military control, with all telephone and internet communications cut off.
Police cars and armored vehicles patrolled the city, broadcasting messages through loudspeakers to calm the citizens.
The blockade of Huashan City would not be lifted until the situation was completely resolved.
Anxiety spread among the populace, but their only recourse was to hide in their homes and trust that the federal soldiers would protect them from the rioters.
The information provided to the public was that a group of rioters armed with dangerous weapons had infiltrated the city. However, if it were truly just rioters, the local demon hunters would likely be ecstatic.
The situation in the city could still be temporarily contained, but with the situation deteriorating, who knew what might happen.
Upon entering the city, Wen Wen had just met with the local Hunter's Association and had not yet grasped the full situation when he received a message ordering all roaming hunters who had come to Huashan City to gather at a building in the city center.
Half an hour later, Wen Wen arrived at the top floor of the building and silently observed a pile of bones beneath a spire.
Including Wen Wen, eight roaming hunters had arrived here, each being an elite demon hunter capable of fighting independently.
A demon hunter whose right hand was several times larger than his left approached the pile of bones and carefully examined them. "Every remnant left here is from a superhuman creature. Judging by the quantity of these remnants, there were at least dozens of superhuman creatures here..."
He was a mid-level demon hunter, codenamed 'Beast'. He specialized in dealing with beast-like monsters, and it was rumored that his right hand concealed forbidden power.
Wen Wen shifted his gaze to another area where a voluptuous female demon hunter stood. She wore a form-fitting green suit that reflected light like insect chitin, over which she wore a gauze garment with a butterfly wing pattern.
Her hair, eyebrows, and lips were all green, giving her a remarkably healthy and fresh appearance.
Yet, this graceful woman was ungracefully sprawled on the ground, using a finger as slender as an emerald to pick up a bit of mucus from the ground and sniff it.
She then said to everyone, "It's bugs. A large number of bugs crawled through here. These bugs should be arthropods with multiple legs, similar to centipedes."
Next, she licked the mucus from her finger and, after carefully discerning its taste, said, "Each of these bugs should possess disaster-level strength. The strength itself is not the issue; it's the quantity... judging by the traces left here, there were at least hundreds of bugs!"
This woman was also a mid-level roaming hunter, codenamed 'Kong Die' (Terrified Butterfly). She seemed to have a deep understanding of insect-related superhumans.
Among the eight roaming hunters present, only Kong Die, Beast, and Gui Tan Wen Wen were mid-level roaming hunters.
