Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

Outside the corridor, a fierce wind howled, and shards of glass flew through the air like bullets, hitting the walls with a crackling sound.

Su Xiaoxiao gripped the hem of Lu Jingyan's trench coat tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. The budding, rosy romance that had just begun to blossom had long since shattered under the terrifying, apocalyptic pressure, leaving not a trace.

She trembled as she looked up at the crimson spatial rift in the sky, which resembled a gaping maw of blood. She felt as if even the air around her was filled with the strong smell of sulfur and blood, so oppressive that it made her heart stop beating.

"Captain Lu..." Su Xiaoxiao's voice was filled with suppressed panic and despair, "What kind of monster is that?"

Lu Jingyan did not turn around. He stood firmly in front of her, his back straight, like an unyielding steel dam.

His expression was colder than ever before. He remained outwardly calm, but deep within his mind, a high-speed interaction was taking place that no outsider could perceive.

[Ding! System final settlement complete!]

[Congratulations, host! The progress of Volume 3, "Ancient Martial Arts Cultivation Chapter," has reached 100%. All villains and troublesome protagonists in this world have been eliminated!]

[The complete shattering of the high-dimensional crystal wall has been detected; a final leap in worldview is underway!]

Accompanied by a series of rapid and piercing red warning sounds, the system panel on Lu Jingyan's retina flashed wildly, brightly.

Lu Jingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze calmly sweeping over the balance in the upper right corner of the panel.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

A whopping 85 million righteousness points!

From initially punishing the arrogant CEO for illegal parking to just physically exorcising the overbearing Temple Master, every bit of justice and order accumulated in this city over the past few months has now transformed into an astronomical figure that is enough to shock anyone.

[Ding! Host's Righteousness Value has surpassed the historical high threshold! System Shop 'Ultimate Arsenal' access is now officially available!]

A soft buzzing sound.

A brand new golden virtual shelf instantly unfolded before Lu Jingyan's eyes.

Previously common skill books like "Advanced Grappling Techniques," "Commercial Crime Insight," and "True Word Coercion" were all automatically swept into the deepest corners. In their place were rows of god-level items whose mere names exuded an aura of world-destroying power.

Planet Destroyer Railgun, Two-Dimensional Foil Manufacturing Blueprints, Original Executioner Sword Formation, Nine-Turn Golden Elixir...

Lu Jingyan's eyelids twitched involuntarily as he looked at these shocking names.

Any one of these items could be enough to completely flatten the current Jinghai City, along with the surrounding mountains, from the map eight hundred times over.

But this is definitely not what he wants.

"I am a police officer, not a terrorist who wants to destroy the world."

Lu Jingyan coldly issued an instruction to the system in his mind: "I don't need these anti-human weapons of mass destruction. What I need is something that can settle disputes and make these so-called higher-dimensional beings feel awe."

"Filter out all physical damage and magical cultivation items. Move directly to the conceptual level."

[Command received. Re-filtering matches for you...]

The golden virtual shelves began to tumble rapidly, countless shimmering icons flashing by. Finally, the screen stopped, resting alone on a thick book that radiated an ancient, solemn light.

Lu Jingyan's gaze was instantly fixed on it.

[Causality Weapon: Absolute Codex.]

[Item Description: This is a manifestation of supreme rules that transcend dimensions. It ignores all physical and magical defenses, directly altering causality at the underlying logical level.]

[Passive Effect: The long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you. Within the host's jurisdiction, all acts that violate the Criminal Law and the Public Security Administration Punishment Law will be forcibly marked by this legal code, leaving no place for them to hide.]

[Active Effect: Words become law. As long as the other party's illegal act is established, regardless of their dimension, level of cultivation, or magical weapons, once determined, all their ability to resist will be forcibly stripped, and arrest will be carried out!]

[A 100% guilty verdict, no immunity, and irreversible!]

Lu Jingyan's breath hitched for a moment as he read this description, which was so outrageous it was practically heaven-defying.

What is a true dimensional reduction attack?

That's right.

Whether you are a god-king in the heavens or a demon lord in the abyss, even if you are Pangu who created the world, as long as you dare to fly without a license over Jinghai City, as long as you dare to spit out a divine spit anywhere, as long as you violate the current laws of China.

This codex can instantly turn you into an ordinary mortal who has lost all magical powers, obediently put on a silver bracelet, and go to jail to work as a sewing machine operator.

What's the use of physical invincibility? In the face of a rogue setting like "causality," all resistance is nothing more than futile grammatical errors.

"How many Righteousness Points are needed to exchange for this?" Lu Jingyan asked calmly in his heart.

[Exchange Price: 85 million Righteousness Points.]

[System Notification: Your current balance is 85,030,000. Once redeemed, you will instantly be back to square one. Confirm redemption?]

Lu Jingyan smiled.

Half a year of hard work, all gone in one night. This system is even more ruthless and heartless than those unscrupulous capitalists when it comes to exploiting people.

But he did not hesitate at all.

Money can be earned back, and performance can be boosted again. But if these soon-to-arrive "gods" don't use the most hardcore methods to suppress them, Jinghai City, which he has painstakingly cleaned up, will truly become a junkyard where gods fight.

"Confirm redemption".

Lu Jingyan uttered these four words in his mind, crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

[Ding! Causality Weapon successfully redeemed!]

In his mind, the long string of positive energy points instantly disappeared.

At the same time, a profound and indescribable energy flowed through the void and descended directly into Lu Jingyan's right hand. He clenched his fist tightly, feeling an extremely full and all-encompassing sense of power.

A massive, illusory codex, its cover bearing a majestic national emblem, flickered in his palm before transforming into a stream of light that completely merged into his bloodline.

At that moment, Lu Jingyan felt that he was no longer a simple individual.

His heartbeat seemed to be inextricably linked with the pulse of the entire city of Jinghai; his gaze seemed to pierce through the mists of time and space, seeing through all the hidden sins and karmic obstacles in this world.

He is order itself.

"BOOM—!!!"

Just as Lu Jingyan completely merged with the "Absolute Codex", the anomaly in the sky finally reached its most terrifying point.

The crimson spatial rift that spanned the entire sky burst open with a deafening roar that tore through space!

A violent spatial turbulence swept down, shredding the surrounding clouds into dust.

Within the enormous vortex of black clouds, the deafening roars of primordial beasts and the thunderous drums of a thousand armies shattering the void could be faintly heard.

Several towering, hundred-foot-tall phantoms of deities, radiating a sacred golden light, slowly emerged from the clouds. Like supreme rulers, they arrogantly surveyed the insignificant land beneath their feet with a cold gaze as if looking down upon ants.

"mortal……"

A mighty divine voice descended from the sky, carrying an irresistible and terrifying pressure that exploded directly in everyone's minds. That overwhelming pressure caused the air raid sirens throughout Jinghai City to blare wildly, like a death knell.

"Kneel down and welcome your gods..."

Su Xiaoxiao's eardrums throbbed with pain from the sound. She covered her ears tightly, her face deathly pale as she stared at the god-like spectacle descending from the sky, her voice trembling violently: "Lun...Lun...shouldn't we call for military support? This isn't something the police can handle!"

"No need to call."

Lu Jingyan released his hand that had been protecting Su Xiaoxiao.

He turned around, facing the overwhelming divine power, and walked alone to the edge of the broken window.

The strong wind tugged at his police uniform, making it flutter loudly. Lu Jingyan raised his hand and calmly pushed up the cold, gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

His right hand was already resting on the ordinary Type 92 police pistol at his waist. But at this moment, under the blessing of the causal law of the "Absolute Code," even if he pulled out a rusty fire poker, he could directly pronounce the death sentence on all these gods and Buddhas.

"Whether it's a god or some kind of strange beast or troll."

As Lu Jingyan gazed at the arrogant golden phantoms in the sky, a cold, arrogance slowly crept onto his lips.

"As long as you haven't applied for an entry visa or registered a temporary residence permit at the police station."

"Treat them all as illegal immigration."

He drew his sidearm, cocked it, and pointed the dark muzzle directly at the largest phantom of the god in the sky.

Volume 4, Ragnarok/Invasion of Another World.

The curtain officially rose under the cold, ruthless muzzle of this man's gun.
