Ding!
The system prompt sounded again.
Chen Hai's level also increased accordingly.
The apocalypse dimension + the is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? dimension, plus the slime dimension with a low occupation rate.
The total experience points from the three worlds were enormous.
Even though the System had stated that 'experience gain efficiency outside of the Dungeon would decrease over time,' for Chen Hai, it was more than enough!
Previously, it would take him over a week to reach LV.200, but now, in just one day, he went directly from LV.1 to LV.180!
This rate of increase was already terrifying.
For this, Chen Hai also checked his status panel.

After reviewing the data, Chen Hai's attention returned to the present.
At this moment, he stood on the balcony of the Adventurers' Guild's second-floor office, overlooking the bustling street below.
After hearing the previous statement, Sanjōno Haruhime, facing Chen Hai for the first time, curiously asked,
"May I ask... Lord Chen Hai, what method will you use to cleanse the darkness of this city?"
"Could it be that while I was cracking down on the Night Street, Lord Chen Hai had already arranged his personnel?"
Astrea, to his side, was also very curious.
Chen Hai's explanation for this was simple:
"The punishment for sinners begins now."
The next moment, he mobilized his power.
The trait 'Almighty Genius (Anomaly)' took effect.
There was a reason Chen Hai initially chose to fully upgrade it.
With the help of this trait, all his stats would be boosted.
For the is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? plane with a 34% invasion degree, Chen Hai could grasp information covering one-third of the continental plate, centered on Orario!
The main reason he hadn't used this ability in the past was that the information was too complex and troublesome to process.
Moreover, Chen Hai didn't intend to do everything himself.
He was not a savior who liked to shout, 'Eliminate all evil in the world.'
This 'ally of justice' idea was something Chen Hai had only seriously considered when he was a child... Thinking of this, Chen Hai, who controlled one-third of the plane, spread his consciousness.
At this instant—
Chen Hai's consciousness was like a drop of ink falling into clear water, spreading from Orario to the folds of the entire plane.
His thoughts were no longer confined by his physical body, transforming into countless silver-white data threads, penetrating the ground, sweeping past buildings, and clinging to every inch of shadow.
Thieves hiding in the backrooms of taverns;
Bandits curled up in drainage ditches;
Even perverts lurking in dark corners, peeping at others;
Without exception, these people were pinned down in Chen Hai's sensory network.
Thus, in Chen Hai's vision, the streets of Orario became a blank form;
After each criminal's outline became clear, Chen Hai threw them into the form, labeling them 'sanctioned.'
The first was a black market arms dealer, hiding in an abandoned apartment on Northwest Street, possessing forbidden magic potions;
The second was a criminal who threatened girls, usually disguised as a bard, with a recent target being a wealthy merchant's mansion;
The third was a thug attempting to assassinate a competitor on the Night Street, now hiding within a caravan preparing to leave.
The fourth... the fifth.
The sixth.
The blank form was gradually filled.
However, this was not the end.
As Chen Hai extended his consciousness into the more distant void, a ruined, abandoned high tower suddenly appeared on the map constructed in his mind.
That was the 'Black Raven's Nest' located on the northwest side of Orario.
A large bandit group of over eight hundred people huddled like cockroaches among the broken walls and ruins.
Chen Hai's consciousness, like a spreading spiderweb, completely grasped their breathing frequency, heartbeat rhythm, and even the tremor of every single hair.
In less than three seconds, the form Chen Hai had drafted was filled with a thousand people.
Very good—
On the balcony, Chen Hai snapped his fingers.
With a 'snap.'
Sanjōno Haruhime and Astrea, who were standing nearby, immediately looked forward.
It seemed nothing had happened... But in the northern area, a day's journey from Orario, the 'Black Raven's Nest' built on the ruins of the high tower underwent a strange change!
At this moment, eight hundred bandits gathered together, huddled among the broken walls, whispering to each other, discussing their boss's new mission.
They had heard that several 'supply routes' connecting to Orario had recently increased.
Simply put... there were more targets to rob!
Unfortunately, such thoughts were now meaningless.
In the sky above their heads, a crimson glow of flames suddenly appeared.
When someone noticed this, pushing a companion to make everyone look up at that instant—
"What is that?"
"Flames in the sky?"
"I don't know..."
Just as everyone was wondering, the high tower area where the bandits were located suddenly experienced an earthquake!
The next moment, the sky roared, the earth cracked, and scorching fire, like fiery serpents, burst forth from both above and below!
Before the bandits could react, the scorching serpents coiled around everyone's ankles.
Then the serpents began to shatter, and the spreading fire spread upwards from the ankles.
"Ahhh—!"
Screams instantly erupted.
"What in the world is happening—!"
Cries of agony rose one after another, as they tried to flee the scene.
But no one could... The bandits running outwards quickly gave up struggling and stopped moving.
Everyone's flesh turned to ashes in the flames, their bones made 'crackling' sounds, and eventually, only charred skeletons remained, dragged into the void by chains of fire.
At the same time, throughout Orario... hidden criminals suddenly froze.
In their pupils, the scorching glow of flames was reflected.
"??"
As everyone felt confused by this, roaring flames descended from above.
One second later, all the criminals' bodies were enveloped, becoming burning torches.
They didn't even have time to scream before they were incinerated in the high heat.
And the people of Orario also saw pillars of fire rising from the ground!
They did not ignite the streets, nor did they affect passersby; they only targeted the locked-on criminals.
"Those pillars of fire..."
Sanjōno Haruhime saw the pillars of fire appearing in various directions and areas.
"Are they all people connected to the Night Street crime incidents?"
Astrea asked, disbelievingly, with a puzzled expression.
Chen Hai looked at the goddess beside him and smiled.
"This is just a part of it."
"A part... meaning there are still criminals who haven't been punished?"
"That's right."
"What is Lord Chen Hai's reason for leaving them?"
"The Dungeon is still very short on labor, especially labor that will remain underground for life."
"..."
Hearing this answer, Astrea understood Chen Hai's plan.
Somewhat different from what she imagined, the 'justice' Chen Hai executed and the 'order' he pursued were all built upon his dominion.

At the same time.
Throughout Orario, at the strongholds of various Familias.
Freya watched the hundreds of towering pillars of fire appearing on the streets of Orario.
"Someone capable of doing something like this..."
Freya could only think of Chen Hai.
Only he, who dominated the Dungeon and Orario, could accomplish such terrifying 'sanctions.'
Loki, who had also noticed this scene, opened her previously narrowed eyes.
She stared incredulously at the terrifying pillars of fire rising from the ground.
Beneath each pillar of fire, there was probably a life incinerated...
"It can only be Chen Hai, right?"
Loki finished speaking, her gaze falling on Asuna, who was organizing her equipment not far away.
"Little sister Asuna, the one who will be training you next is someone capable of such a feat."
"How strong... is he exactly?"
Asuna put down her weapon, walked to Loki's side, and looked at the gradually dissipating pillar of fire, a puzzled expression on her face.
It wasn't just the two main gods mentioned above.
Hermes, Hephaestus, Ganesha, Miach Familia, and others all witnessed the 'abnormal incident' that occurred in Orario.
They began to investigate, collecting information, and learned that beneath each pillar of fire, only a small amount of charred ash remained.
The gods knew very well that the only one who could punish these guys was Chen Hai... Orario would surely develop in a different direction from now on.
As for whether it would be good or bad, the gods couldn't be sure.
But one thing they knew for certain—
The Dungeon Lord, Chen Hai, was an existence that absolutely could not be opposed.
