A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Even though the system said that 'experience points gained outside the dungeon will decrease in efficiency over time,' it was enough for Chen Hai!

Previously, it took more than a week to reach LV.200, but now it only took one day to go directly from LV.1 to LV.180!

This rate of improvement is already terrifying.

Chen Hai also checked his data panel.

After reviewing the data, Chen Hai's attention returned to the present moment.

He was standing on the balcony of the Adventurers' Guild's second-floor office, looking down at the bustling street below.

After listening to the previous speech, Sanjou Haruhime, facing Tatsumi whom she was meeting for the first time, asked curiously...

"May I ask... what methods will Lord Chenhai use to cleanse this city of darkness?"

"Could it be that Lord Chenhai had already deployed his forces while I was shutting down 'Night Street'?"

Astraea, standing to one side, was also very curious.

Chen Hai's explanation for this is very simple.

"The punishment of sinners begins now."

The next moment, he mobilized his forces.

The entry 'All-round genius (exceptional)' comes into play.

There was a reason why Chenhai initially chose to upgrade it to the maximum level.

With the help of this entry, all stats will be improved.

Chen Hai is able to obtain information about one-third of the continental plate centered on Orario, in the DanMachi dimension, which has an encroachment rate of 34%!

The reason I don't usually use this ability is mainly because the information is too complex and too troublesome to process.

Moreover, Chen Hai doesn't intend to do everything himself.

He's not some savior who saves the world, nor does he like to shout "eliminate all evil in the world."

This idea of ​​being a 'partner of justice' 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 outward.

This moment—

Chen Hai's consciousness, like a drop of ink falling into clear water, spread from Orario to the folds of the entire plane.

His thoughts were no longer confined to his body, transforming into countless silvery-white data threads that pierced the ground, swept over buildings, and clung to every inch of shadow.

A thief hiding in the tavern's secret room;

The robbers huddled in the drainage ditch;

Even a pervert hiding in a dark corner to spy on others;

Without exception, these people were pinned to Chen Hai's perception network.

And so, in Chen Hai's view, the streets of Orario became an empty table.

Once the profiles of each criminal became clear, Chen Hai put them into a form and labeled them 'sanctioned'.

The first is a black market arms dealer, hiding in an abandoned apartment on Northwest Street, who possesses forbidden-level magical potions;

The second is a criminal who threatens young girls, who usually disguises himself as a bard and whose recent target is a wealthy businessman's mansion;

The third is a thug who attempted to assassinate his rival in the 'Night Street' and is now hiding in a departing caravan.

the fourth……

the fifth.

sixth.

The blank forms were gradually filled.

But this is not the end.

As Chen Hai extended his consciousness into the distant void, the ruins of an abandoned tower suddenly appeared on the map constructed in his mind.

That is the "Crow's Nest" located in the northwest of Orario.

A large band of robbers, numbering over eight hundred, huddled like cockroaches among the ruins.

Chen Hai's consciousness spread out like a spider web, completely grasping their breathing rate, heartbeat rhythm, and even the trembling of every hair on their bodies.

In less than three seconds, the form prepared by Chen Hai was filled out by a thousand people.

very good--

On the balcony, Chen Hai snapped his fingers.

There was a snap.

Sanjou Haruhime and Astrea, who were standing to the side, then looked ahead.

It's as if nothing happened...

Meanwhile, in the northern region, a day's journey from Orario, the "Black Crow's Nest," built atop the ruins of a tower, has undergone a strange change!

At this very moment, eight hundred bandits huddled together among the ruins, whispering amongst themselves about their leader's new mission.

They heard that several new 'cargo routes' connecting Orario had recently been added.

simply put……

There are more targets to rob now!

Unfortunately, this idea is now meaningless.

Suddenly, bright red flames appeared in the sky above them.

The moment someone noticed this and nudged their companion, making everyone look over—

"what is that?"

"Fire in the air?"

"do not know……"

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, an earthquake suddenly struck the tower area where the thieves were!

The next moment, the sky trembled and the earth cracked, and flames from both above and below transformed into scorching pythons that charged out!

Before the robbers could react, the scorching python coiled around each of their ankles.

Then the python began to shatter, and the spreading flames started from the ankles and spread upwards.

"Ahhhh——!"

A mournful cry rang out instantly.

"What on earth happened?!"

Screams rose and fell as people tried to escape the scene.

But no one can actually do it...

The robbers who were running outside quickly gave up struggling and stopped.

All the flesh and skin turned to ash in the flames, and the bones crackled and popped. In the end, only charred skeletons remained, which were dragged into the void by chains of fire.

Meanwhile, throughout Orario City...

The hidden criminals suddenly froze.

The scorching flames were reflected in their pupils.

"??"

As everyone wondered what was happening, flames descended from above with a roar.

One second later, all the criminals' bodies were wrapped up like burning torches.

Before it could even utter a mournful cry, it was consumed by the intense heat.

Meanwhile, the members of Oral-Rally also saw the pillar of fire rising from the ground!

They didn't set the streets on fire or affect passersby; they were only targeting the criminals they had identified.

"Those pillars of fire..."

Sanjou Haruhime saw pillars of fire appearing in various directions and areas.

"Are they all connected to the 'Night Street' crime incident?"

Astraea couldn't believe it and asked with a puzzled expression.

Chen Hai looked at the goddess beside him and smiled.

"That's just part of it."

"A portion...does that mean there are still criminals who haven't been punished?"

"Yes."

"What is Lord Chenhai's reason for keeping them here?"

"The underground city is still short of labor, especially laborers who will stay underground for their entire lives."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Astrea understood Chen Hai's plan.

Contrary to expectations, Chen Hai's execution of 'justice' and pursuit of 'order' are both based on his dominance.

at the same time.

The strongholds of different clans throughout Orario.

Freya looked at the hundreds of towering pillars of fire that had appeared in the streets of Orario.

"Someone who can do this..."

Freya could only think of Chen Hai.

Only those who control the dungeons and Orario can carry out such a terrible 'sanction'.

Loki, who had also noticed the scene, opened his eyes, which had been narrowed.

She stared incredulously at the terrifying pillar of fire that had risen from the ground.

Beneath each pillar of fire lies a life consumed by flames...
