The vault door was labeled in fading celestial script:
"ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO FILE HERE"
Inside lay the Pantheon's most guarded weapon—not a sword, not a relic, but a filing cabinet pulsing with malevolent red tape.
Luo Feng pulled open the first drawer.
It hissed at him.
THE FORBIDDEN ENERGY
The 11th Void Energy wasn't like the others.
Where Fire VE burned and Frost VE froze, Bureaucracy VE did something far worse:
It made things complicated.
A single drop on a battlefield required triplicate forms for every casualty
Applied to weapons, it forced swords to register as non-lethal office supplies
Inhaling it made victims speak exclusively in legalese for three business days
The Death Queen prodded it with a dagger. The dagger immediately required a permit.
"Darling," she said, "this is the most beautiful poison I've ever seen."
THE WEAPONIZATION
Phase One: Infiltration
Luo Feng distilled the energy into stamp-shaped charges
Li Qing froze them into icy papercuts
The Death Queen slipped them into divine payroll envelopes
Phase Two: Chaos
The War God's axe was reclassified as a gardening tool mid-swing
The Goddess of Wisdom's prophecies needed notarization
The Sky Father's throne became subject to rent control
Phase Three: The Ultimate Attack
MC unleashed the "Form 37-B" technique—a kick so bogged down in ancillary clauses and subsections that the Pantheon's defenses got stuck in approval limbo.
THE AFTERMATH
As gods scrambled to file grievance reports:
The Death Queen stole the "Confidential" stamp and started tattooing it on enemies
Li Qing preserved a scroll of "Terms & Conditions" as a lethal throwing star
The Fox Spirit's memory fragment left a Yelp review for the Pantheon (*"1/5 stars, would not recommend."*)
[System Alert: 11TH VOID ENERGY MASTERY UNLOCKED]
[Ability: "Administrative Nightmare" - Weaponize red tape]
[Warning: May spontaneously generate parking tickets]
The plush demons opened a 24/7 notary service.
