Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 194 Reign of Chaos
The two priests' approach was not complicated at all; in fact, it could be described as overly simplistic.

First, they issued a law that allows for the immediate execution of those who commit intentional homicide. Of course, such a law already existed, so repeating it now is essentially the same as not mentioning it at all.

Then, Ansag and Satek did something that no one expected.

They summoned one of the four warriors, Setka the Mad Axe.

"From now on, you will be in charge of maintaining public order."

Ansag patted Setka on the shoulder, his face full of encouragement.

"It's up to you, Warriors."

"This...you're planning to make me work for free?"

Sethka still looked somewhat reluctant.

"That divinely bestowed blade..."

"What divinely bestowed blade?"

Satek frowned.

"The monthly pay has already been agreed upon, and you still think it's not enough... To put it bluntly, we're giving you so much experience to level up, and if you're still not satisfied, then let me do it?"

"you……"

Setka, who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation, was immediately speechless.

Yes, even Setka himself knew that the biggest benefit of this job was never the salary on the surface.

It's not so much the experience points you can gain from it, but the vast amount of experience you can accumulate.

Indeed, it's not impossible for him to do it himself, but illegal killing and legal killing are two different things—and if Setka heard correctly, the two priests didn't mention anything about loot. In other words, all the equipment obtained after the killing could remain in his hands.

As for why he was so sure there would be equipment... it's because when Setka heard about this assignment, he already realized that his opponents would definitely be warriors like him, whose minds were full of equipment and upgrades.

After all, they are the ones making the biggest fuss right now.

"In short, we'll give you money, supplies, and even the title. You'll have to fend for yourself in terms of manpower... No matter what method you use, we need to see results in seven days. Arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who should be killed. This is the Serpent God's decree. The Serpent God doesn't want to see His kingdom descend into chaos."

"I will obey the holy decree."

Upon hearing that this was actually an order from the Serpent God, Setka's expression immediately turned serious, and his posture, which had been lazy just moments before, became ramrod straight.

If it were just an order from two priests, Setka would indeed find it hard to take it too seriously. After all, as one of the four warriors who had fought against Matt Perry, his current level was almost the same as those two priests. But if it were an order from the Serpent God, that would be a different story.

Recalling the serpent god's kind attitude towards him when they met, Setka decided to take this request seriously and make it a matter of course.

As it turns out, there were quite a few people who wanted to level up, especially after hearing that it was possible to legally gain experience. Setka's house was immediately overcrowded. This was partly because Setka hadn't yet set up his own office space, but also because people felt that it was easier to get things done when they came to his house.

So, in just one morning, the gifts at Setka's house had piled up like a mountain. This forced Setka to temporarily close his doors to visitors, as his house was truly overflowing.

After that, Setka the Mad Axe and his team became active. These were all his companions whom he had met when he was a divine warrior. They might not be good at managing daily life, but when it came to grinding experience, they were all experts.

With such a group of fierce warriors sweeping around, for a time no one dared to commit crimes anymore.

Of course, as fewer and fewer people committed the crimes, some began to complain that this method of gaining experience was too inefficient, and some even turned back to commit crimes, only to be beaten to death by their companions—but that happened later, and because the matter was not serious, the impact was limited to the law enforcement team established by Setka.

At least for now, the law enforcement team in Setka has indeed succeeded in improving the security situation in Tatunbto within seven days.

"Next, they will expand the scope to outside the city, until there are law enforcement teams on duty in every settlement of the empire."

Under the shadow of the giant serpent, Ansag and Sathek reported their results to the serpent before them; this time, they could be said to have successfully completed their mission.

Before them, the enormous ancient serpent nodded in agreement.

"So, it's nothing serious, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Ansag and Sataik immediately nodded in agreement.

In their original assessment, not only were the high-level experts themselves extremely dangerous, but even the concept of levels was itself extremely dangerous—after all, the evil eagle-headed man had said that these levels and experiences were not Sun God magic at all, but rather bait dropped into this world by some being in the boundless starry sky.

So recently, Ansag and Sataik have also considered another option: since they already know that these things come from the boundless starry sky and may be bait dropped by some being, then completely eradicating them is the best solution.

Directly banning it would be troublesome, so the solution is to incite the high-level powerhouses to kill each other, and then prevent the weaker ones from having any contact with these things from the beginning. Over time, after several generations, no one will even know that levels and experience existed.

However, after the snake god's method proved effective, they realized that such a large-scale effort was indeed unnecessary.

"After all, these levels and experience are still useful."

Thinking of this, the two priests subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the magical glasses on the huge snake head.

Yes, Du Yi still wears those magical glasses. He uses them to check how much his cooking experience has increased, and he also uses them as sunglasses. He finds them quite interesting.

Even the great Serpent God doesn't reject this special divine art, so there's no need for them to completely suppress it. As long as the Serpent God is still stationed outside the city, this divine art, no matter whose bait it is, won't be able to cause any trouble.

Moreover, just like the way the Serpent God used it, is this set of divine arts based on levels and experience only meant to kill people?

Clearly, the way the serpent god uses it is the true way to use this divine art.

"Besides killing, this system can be used for many other things, such as..."

Ansag and Satek couldn't help but start daydreaming.

With this idea in mind, a massive leveling campaign began.
