Seized by the System

Fang Ning was fuming!

Outraged!

Infuriated!

He had always been easy-going and was seldom angry. In the half-year the System had been with him, the number of times he raged could be counted on one hand.

However, he could not take it today!

The last one who threatened to destroy the Earth was Insect Demon, and he had dug all his sources and utilized his connection to the Truth Department to eradicate all 9999 doubles, even if that had meant he had to let Elder Ancestor Bai go temporarily.

This was still when Insect Demon was just threatening to do so…

The two-headed snake, however, had already started executing that threat!

It attached its own lifeforce with the entire Ring of Fire.

It wanted to embrace its evilness, eat people at its whims, and spread fear, but it would not tolerate people who would be against it!

It wanted everyone else to watch as it wreaks havoc, to endure the limitless fear and nightmares it would bring to people!

It is truly a demon, a chaotic, evil creature. Fang Ning had finally witnessed how it functions that day!

They had no scruples, no conscience. Other creatures did not mean anything to them.

Compared to them, the villains Fang Ning had met when the System was fighting evil was really weak.

He had already worried about the rise of all manners of evilness in this new era. He had even given the System a whole hypothesis on how to change the world because he was afraid some powerhouse would turn into a planet-destroyer out of whim.

He could no longer play around…

No, that was wrong. All his compatriots could no longer live in harmony because of that.

His hypothesis in changing the world was to allow the Dark World to be occupied by necromancers, like how bacteria did in human bodies.

It could be surmised that in the eyes of certain people, that solution would also be controversial. However, there was no such thing as perfection in this world…

Not even saints can juggle between their reputation and do actual work at the same time.

As long as a deed was done, a mistake would have happened somewhere else, and that would lead to a blotch in one’s reputation. That could be seen all over the Chinese history.

Can they not breed the monsters?

Can they not farm the monsters?

Only when monsters were farmed would they be awarded experience points. It was based on the ancient Korean internet games, after all.

The System was becoming stronger as time passed, but the wicked beings were also not simple-minded NPC monsters.

Even Elder Ancestor Bai could think of hiding in the ground, so naturally, the two-headed snake would know to hide inside the volcano.

It was just the survival of the fittest…

Predictably, in half a year to a year’s time, the criminals and villains the System could eradicate would lessen to an extreme degree, as they had learned to hide in the ground or under the sea…

They would no longer walk on the face of the earth and expose themselves to the System’s ever-growing visual range.

Those who could not hide would have already been eliminated by the System who could work 24/7.

Fang Ning was not a saint, he was only a homebody. He had very active imagination, but he still would not be able to think of a solution that can make everybody happy but to do whatever he could following the principles of the System.

He knew many villains had been cursing him behind his back. Nobody knew the existence of the System, after all, but he was happy to keep going…

Fortunately, the many different shadow IDs he employed early on had worked. Otherwise, he would have been impaled by all the different curses, hexes, and voodoo jinxes hurled his way.

Under his tactical advice, the System had been farming monsters with efficiently. With the 5.6375 billion experience points it held, Fang Ning believed that they would be able to create a better world for everyone by dumping experience!

‘All martial arts in the world has a weakness, except for Pay-to-Winners!’

Fang Ning boiled over but soon calmed down. He said calmly, “Sir, it’s time to dump those 5.6375 billion experience points somewhere…”

The System replied, “That’s right. This is the reason I saved up at all, to kill this kind of bosses.”

…

The two-headed snake was smug as it saw that Vigilante A stood stunned for a long time.

As expected, after using that trump card, even someone as strong as Vigilante A who could kill the Russian totem, Spirit Bear would not be able to touch it.

The world’s tactical intelligence was really profound. With a low upper limit for individual strength, they were forced to develop powerful tactics to supplement them.

“Give me the green worm so I can turn it into my incarnate of fear. If you do so, I won’t touch this chain of volcanoes, otherwise, I will destroy all lives on Earth!”

It had only thought to use that tactic as a self-preservation measure, but it realized now that it could also be used to threaten righteous people like Vigilante A who had held the path of righteousness as his own.

Give an inch, take a mile, it was that easy!

The great green insect shuddered and thought, ‘Please don’t sacrifice me just to save the lives of the whole world…’

Right then, it saw Vigilante A glowed white that dwarfs the sun in comparison.

The fog retreated temporarily, and the many satellites in the sky finally were able to capture the new map of Japan…

The two-headed snake was aghast. ‘His Morality was so strong, he would need less than three bouts to kill me!’

‘He really was walking the Path of Heavenly Punishment, the natural nemesis of fear-mongering creatures like me.’

It immediately rejoiced at the fact that it had taken the necessary steps and hid inside the volcano while preparing so many defensive maneuvers.

‘Even though Vigilante A is strong, he was stunned even at the first of my defensive measures. Looks like I was still overprepared.’

‘I should swallow the citizens of several other smaller countries so my power can reach even higher peaks. I may even be able to break through this world’s limits.’

‘By then, it would not be impossible to overpower Vigilante A through sheer strength.’

There were two nations right beside with a large population, but they were too close to China, so it had yet to make the decision to more.

When it was in its fantasy, a voice spoke up calmly.

“Demon! You know nothing about the true power of justice!”

Two white beams shot out of the eyes of Vigilante A toward a specific spot at the foot of the volcano!

Boulders, bushes, fog, none of those could even slow the white beams, it was as if they did not exist at all.

Soon, the two-headed snake could no longer afford to look arrogant as it slid into horror.

It shook its torso violently but the volcano behind it no longer reacted to it aside from shaking slightly.

“How could that be? How did you find the maneuver I set up much earlier? Could you actually possess Heaven’s Eye?”

Fang Ning thought, ‘Yep, one that we bought with experience points.’

“Now, say it again. Who dares to kill you?”

Following that, a hundred-metered green dragon appeared and clutched at the two heads with his claws. With one attack, it ripped off the two heads from its body!

Its torso of several thousand meters long could not do anything to resist that attack.

Snakes have long lives, and the two heads laid on the ground but had not died immediately.

Its horrified face suddenly laughed sinisterly, “You think you’re invincible? Hmph! After killing us, the two physical heads, we still have six heads. As long as fear exists, we will be reborn! Fear will always be around you!”

Fang Ning heard it, which riled him up once again. ‘What does that mean?’

‘Does that mean that I would need to be wary of your appearance in the future even as I read webnovels?’

Having thought that, he had a sudden revelation. He recalled the feeling he had after reading the novel on holiday and immediately had an idea.

The System said, “Is this idiot the same with that Insect Demon? That would be great, it still has six more heads after killing two, and it still can be reborn…”

Fang Ning was speechless. These two snakes really barked up the wrong tree when they threatened the System…

He reminded the System, “Pay some attention to it. This thing is too threatening to be kept around. It is not one of those necromancers who are lawful evil. This one is chaotic evil. If we keep it, the planet might be in danger at any time. We should not keep it around.”

The System said, “True that. But it said the other six heads were not physical heads, how are we supposed to find it?”

Fang Ning said with confidence, “Don’t worry. I’ve read enough novels to have found clues of its whereabouts.”

…

Seeing the snake heads losing their breaths, Chong Daqing approached apprehensively and immediately become brave as soon as it determined that it really died.

It perched on top of one of the head and laughed with its arms akimbo. “How was that? Dead yet? My dad told me many times to be humble, arrogant people do not live long!”

It began drooling and flew along the torso that extended all the way to the volcano’s crater.

“Great Green Dragon, come look! Both the snakes are so long! I can eat it for many days.” The great green insect looked at the lengthy torso, its eyes sparkling.

After that, it said with distress, “But it’s so long, it would start rotting within a few days, I need to find a way to freeze it.”

Vigilante A kept the two snake heads and flew toward the great green insect.

Fang Ning, on the other hand, checked out the system notification. He wanted to see the might of pay-to-win.

[The System used Legendary Esoteric Skill: Spirit Gaze, consuming 10 Morality Bars and 10 Aggro Bars. The Host is in a variant state of Fury, the skill tripled in power. All Aggro Bar was refilled.]

[The System activated Clairvoyance, consuming 1,000,000 Experience Points per minute.]

[The System discovered the self-destruction formation placed in the volcanic vein by Hydra Demon. Effect: As soon as Hydra Demon dies, the formation will self-destruct, causing the volcanoes to explode as a chained effect.]

[The System used Divine Eye Strike and destroyed the self-destruction formation’s key node.]

[…]

Fang Ning was really happy with the result. ‘I must remember this, in all the old Korean internet games, pay-to-win is the way to go!’
