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

A giant, azure finger, like a pillar supporting the sky, slowly emerged from the dark vortex.

The moment your fingertips touched the atmosphere, the once azure sky seemed to be branded with a red-hot iron.

The entire sky quickly took on a hideous, dark red scar.

The piercing sonic boom, like the scream of death, echoed throughout the entire city of Jinghai.

The windows of countless buildings shattered at that moment, and sirens blared throughout the streets.

Inside the auditorium, the delegates who had been chatting and laughing just moments before were now in complete chaos.

The Siberian tiger, Da Pang, was desperately trying to crawl under the table on the podium.

Its plump rear end was exposed, and its tail, terrified, had been shortened by half and was trembling incessantly.

The fox spirit Lin Chacha screamed and covered her ears, her nine tails thrashing wildly inside the bright red restraint bag.

"Director Lu! The sky has fallen! Let's hurry to the underworld to take refuge!" The judge's face turned ashen.

Lu Jingyan looked up and stared coldly at the giant finger that was powerful enough to flatten an entire mountain range.

The tactical tablet in his hand was emitting a high-frequency "beep" warning sound.

"Refuge? In my dictionary, only criminals need refuge."

Lu Jingyan's voice was steady, and it carried throughout the venue through the loudspeaker, which calmed the panicked crowd to some extent.

He swiped his finger across the screen rapidly, bringing up a set of real-time satellite monitoring data.

"The qualitative results are in, Xiaoxiao, announce it across the entire internet immediately."

Lu Jingyan's voice was cold and stern, exuding an unquestionable authority of the rule of law.

"In accordance with the Law on the Protection of China's Airspace Sovereignty and the Regulations on Urban Construction Planning Management."

"This giant spatial vortex was opened up without the approval of our bureau and the Ministry of Land and Resources, and a cross-border passage was opened without authorization."

"This constitutes an illegal construction that seriously affects civil aviation safety and damages the physical structure of the atmosphere!"

Lu Jingyan slammed the legal code shut, his eyes flashing with an absolute sense of rationality.

"Since it's an illegal structure, it must be forcibly demolished."

"Not only do we have to tear down this hole, but we also have to arrest the landlord who stuck his hand in here!"

On the other side of the wormhole, the powerful being seemed to have heard these remarks.

A disdainful snort echoed from the void, causing the ground in Jinghai City to sink several centimeters again.

"Illegal construction? I have traversed countless realms; the stars and celestial bodies are but playthings in my palm!"

"You lowly insects, how dare you use this worthless piece of worldly paper to define my actions?"

The powerful voice, carrying an arrogant disdain for all living beings, exploded in everyone's minds.

"Mortals, are these your dying words?"

The giant finger pressed down again, and the gale-force winds swept seawater back into the city, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

"Last words? No, this is an execution notice."

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Lu Jingyan's lips as he pressed the red command button on the communicator.

"Xiaoxiao, take over 'Nantianmen' Launch Silo No. 1, lock the coordinates and anchor point."

Su Xiaoxiao sat in front of the quantum computer, her palms sweating profusely, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"Coordinates successfully locked! All nine wormhole nodes have been marked as 'garbage to be cleared'!"

"Unit One of Nantianmen, psionic missiles are ready; forced demolition can be carried out at any time!"

Lu Jingyan stared expressionlessly at the colossal shadow that nearly covered half of Asia.

"Three, two, one, the forced demolition begins."

With his final command, nine remote mountain bases on the outskirts of Jinghai City simultaneously unleashed deafening roars.

The giant launch silo cover, buried dozens of meters underground, was suddenly lifted off.

Nine strategic interceptors, enveloped in a ghostly blue pulse of light, resembled blue meteors shooting upwards against the heavens.

They pierced through the polluted red clouds and shot straight into outer space!

This missile is a "destroyer-class" heavy weapon developed by Lu Jingyan by combining system technology and modern military industry.

Specifically designed for high-dimensional energy structures, the warhead does not contain gunpowder.

Instead, it is a "causal interference liquid" transformed from hundreds of millions of positive energy points.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Nine dazzling, dark blue fireballs exploded with a deafening roar at the node at the edge of the wormhole.

Each fireball twinkled like a miniature supernova.

The once stable spatial vortex began to shake violently, and dark golden spiritual energy leaked out like an erupting volcano.

"Teacher Lu...is this really going to work?" The judge held his head, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"That's a powerful being who can crush stars with his bare hands, is this iron shell really useful?"

Zhao Tiezhu watched with great excitement and slapped his thigh.

"Old Pan, you don't know anything! This is called popularizing physics! Who cares about his cultivation level, as long as he can withstand this shockwave!"

However, the giant hand did not appear to have suffered any substantial damage.

It paused slightly, then slowly closed its five fingers, attempting to forcibly crush the remaining energy that was still exploding.

"A trivial skill!"

The arrogant voice of the powerful being rang out again, carrying with it an extreme ferocity born of humiliation.

"You mere mortal fire dares to harm my Dharma body? Even if I stand here and let you bombard me for ten thousand years, what can you do?"

"Even your most prized nuclear weapons are but a gentle breeze before me!"

As he spoke, dark golden defensive ripples rippled around the giant hand.

The remaining flames from those psionic missiles extinguished like snowflakes the moment they came into contact with the ripples.

The powerful being laughed wildly on the other side of the wormhole.

"Mortals, feel despair! Before absolute dimensional suppression, science is nothing but child's play!"

The giant hand, with overwhelming force, pressed down again.

Looking at the series of zeroed data on the monitor, Lu Jingyan not only didn't panic, but instead slowly took off his white gloves.

He stared into the void, his eyes filled with a deep pity, as if he were looking at a country bumpkin.

"fire?"

Lu Jingyan sneered, his tone full of undisguised mockery.

"Did you spend your time in seclusion in a cave, turning your brain into a fossil?"

"Do you really think that what I just shot out was just ordinary gunpowder or spiritual energy?"

He pressed a black button on the communicator again, his voice becoming low and solemn.

"Initiate the second phase: targeted antimatter collapse procedure."

Lu Jingyan turned his head and looked at the judge and the tiger who were still shivering beside him.

A cold, scientifically-inspired smile curved his lips.

"This isn't fire, senior."

Lu Jingyan's voice was clear and powerful in the silent auditorium, as if it carried the power of judgment.

"This is a physical disinfectant specially developed for your type of spiritual energy molecular structure."

"It's called antimatter collapse, which can completely format every inch of your cultivation at the microscopic atomic level."

"Great power? In the face of mathematical models, you are nothing more than a string of gibberish waiting to be deleted."

"Guess what, if half of your hand becomes nothingness, will the remaining half still be able to clench into a fist?"

The powerful being in the void seemed to sense something, and his maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting?"

Lu Jingyan didn't speak, but coldly counted to three.

"Three, two, one."

"fry."

As Lu Jingyan uttered the last word.

The surface of that originally pale blue, indestructible giant hand.

Suddenly, strangely, tiny, pure black dots the size of sesame seeds appeared.

These black dots are neither bright nor make a sound.

Yet, the moment it appeared, it expanded wildly at a speed that defied all common sense in metaphysics.

"What...what kind of evil magic is this! My immortal essence is disappearing!"

The powerful being finally let out its first scream of terror and agony in its entire life.

That colossal hand, obscuring the sky, was actually being devoured by those black dots.

Like a sugar cube thrown into strong acid, it is disintegrating and collapsing at an unprecedented speed!

The golden vertical eye in the giant hand now revealed a human-like fear.

"Lu Jingyan! You madman! What have you done?!"

Lu Jingyan stared coldly at the screen, his tone as calm as if he were dealing with a traffic violation.

"You think I'm joking when I say it's a forced demolition?"

"Don't worry, this is just local anesthesia; the major surgery is yet to come."

He turned his head to look at Su Xiaoxiao, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Xiaoxiao, the final form of the Nantianmen Project, the 'Antimatter Annihilation Cannon,' is fully charged."

"Aim at his head and cut that illegal structure completely off at its root!"

Su Xiaoxiao pressed the confirmation button sharply, the sound crisp and loud.

"Received! The final ruling is ready. Please provide instructions, Director Lu!"

Lu Jingyan slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips pointing at the dark vortex on the horizon.

"What can mere fire do to you?"

He scoffed, his eyes flashing with golden light.

"So, do you like this kind of physical iron fist that can erase even the fundamental logic of the universe?"
