210: Chapter 211 The Ultimate Paradox Blocks the Way? Jiang Chen Activates the Privilege of Skipping Questions

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking...

In front of Aphrodite, with a sudden "ding," a giant, golden-shimmering Void Realm QR code popped up.

Below the QR code was a line of extremely eye-piercing prompt text:

[Warning: You are using the copyrighted "Law of Love."]

[Since you have not obtained authorization from the patent owner (Jiang Chen), your spellcasting has been intercepted.]

[Please scan the code to pay the copyright usage fee: A single casting costs one hundred million cosmic coin. For monthly packages, please consult customer service.]

[If you refuse to pay, your Divine Power will be forcibly confiscated.]

Dead silence filled the room.

A deathly silence.

All the Western gods, including Zeus kneeling on the ground, had their mouths wide open, their eyes nearly popping out.

He... he bought out the copyright to "Love"?!

Just by using Divine Power, a QR code pops up to charge a fee?!

What kind of devilish move is this?! This isn't just a dimensional reduction strike; this is pure capital monopoly!

"You... you..."

Aphrodite looked at that life-threatening QR code and completely broke down. One hundred million cosmic coin? As an outsourced worker, she didn't even have enough money to buy decent clothes, so where would she get the money to pay the copyright fee?!

"Can't afford it, right?"

Jiang Chen sneered, "If you can't afford it, then hold it in!"

"Ding—Insufficient balance, forced deduction failed. Reclaiming illegal Divine Power..."

Accompanied by the System's prompt sound.

Aphrodite felt her proud Divine Power of love within her body being drained away like it was being sucked out by a water pump, vanishing completely in an instant.

With a "thud," this once-arrogant Western Goddess of Love turned directly into a soot-covered, powerless Mortal village girl, collapsing on the ground and crying heart-wrenchingly.

Instant kill.

Moreover, it was done in the most heart-piercing and humiliating way—using the power of capital to directly smash a deity's livelihood.

*Gulp.*

Zeus swallowed hard again, his gaze toward Jiang Chen shifting from looking at a "Godfather" to looking at a "Universe-level Living Yama."

Too ruthless.

This man not only lived off women with perfect justification, but when he used a rich woman's money, he was completely heartless and insane!

"Alright, the flies have been cleared out."

Jiang Chen tucked the black card back into his pocket, walked over to Zeus, and kicked his plump backside.

"Stop playing dead. Lead the way. I'm going to the Five-Dimensional General Bureau to settle the score with that big eyeball."

"Yes, yes, yes! Godfather, this way please!"

Zeus didn't dare to be even slightly disobedient, quickly scrambling up to lead the way.

The group passed through the noisy Sweatshop and arrived at the back door of the district.

A dilapidated open-top Chariot was parked here. Pulling it was not some majestic pegasus, but two scrawny Mechanical Mules eating low-quality engine oil. The Chariot's wheels were even modified from old scrap tires.

"What kind of junk is this?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"This... this is the Chariot of Apollo, the Sun God." Zeus rubbed his hands awkwardly. "In the last era, to pay off debts, Apollo sold all the gold on the Chariot, leaving only the shell. This is the only vehicle we have that can cross the Firewall Buffer Zone."

"Fine, it'll do."

Jiang Chen didn't mind and was the first to hop onto the Chariot.

He turned around and, very gentlemanly, reached out his hand to pull the Queen Mother of the West, Change, the Xihe, Ji Linglong, and Gu Liuli onto the vehicle one by one.

The five women were in a great mood. Jiang Chen's dominant behavior of spending a fortune just for them and bankrupting that green-tea Goddess of Love was more satisfying than any sweet words.

"Husband, you spent so much money to buy the copyright just now, don't you really feel bad about it?" Gu Liuli leaned close to Jiang Chen and asked with a giggle.

"Feel bad my foot, it's not like I'm spending my own money." Jiang Chen said righteously. "With a black card from a rich woman in the Six Dimensions, it would be a waste not to use it. Besides, as long as it makes you happy, what's buying the copyright to the entire Universe?"

Hearing this, although the women knew he was just using someone else's gift to show off, they couldn't help but feel a surge of sweetness in their hearts.

"Stop being so slick, sit tight." The Queen Mother of the West glared at him, but there was a smile in the corners of her eyes.

"Baldy, what are you still standing there for? Get up here and be the driver!" Jiang Chen shouted at the dazed Zeus below.

"Hey! Coming, Godfather!"

The once-mighty King of Gods could only pitifully climb onto the driver's seat and grab the reins of the Mechanical Mules.

"Hiyah!"

Accompanied by a violent "put-put-put" roar like a tractor.

This dilapidated open-top Chariot, carrying the Universe's strongest "Soft Rice Group," billowed black smoke and wobbled out of the Western District, heading deep into the Five-Dimensional General Bureau.

...

After crossing a bizarre buffer zone filled with garbled code and spatial turbulence...

The Chariot finally came to a halt.

It wasn't that Zeus wanted to stop, but they simply couldn't go any further.

Ahead.

There was no road.

There wasn't even a concept of space or time.

Looming before them was an indescribable... "wall."

It had no physical form, no color; it was an absolute barrier composed of countless jumping data bits, dense logical formulas, and "paradoxes" that would make one's brain crash at a single glance.

It connected to the source of the entire multiverse, acting like the final line of defense to isolate a virus.

[Five-Dimensional General Bureau · Core Control Room · Absolute Logic Firewall].

"Godfather... we're here..." Zeus pointed tremblingly at the wall. "This is the final gate of the General Bureau. No energy can forcibly break it because it is the Incarnation of 'logic' itself. Unless you can solve those ultimate paradoxes on the wall..."

Jiang Chen stood up and looked at the wall.

Just then.

"Bzzzt..."

On the surface of the wall, those chaotic codes suddenly surged.

A massive phantom of an "eyeball" composed of countless geometric lines emerged on the firewall.

It was the very Inspector who had betrayed the Six Dimensions and sought to usurp control of the Universe!

"Jiang Chen."

The Inspector's cold, hollow, and monotone voice emanated from within the wall, making the surrounding Void Realm hum and vibrate.

"You actually managed to make it here. Those outsourced scraps are indeed unreliable."

The big eyeball looked down coldly at the group on the Chariot.

"However, this is as far as you go."

"This is the absolute truth defense line at the foundation of the Universe. Your Carbon-based lifeforms' inferior emotions, ridiculous love, and your unearned Soft Rice System will all turn to nothing here."

"Look at this wall."

Accompanied by the Inspector's mockery, countless flashing dialog boxes suddenly appeared on the firewall, just like those annoying web verification codes on Earth in the past.

Only, the problems in these verification codes were extremely perverted.
