46: Chapter 46 The Great Sage Equaling Heaven? I think you're just someone who owes five hundred years of imprisonment under the Five Fingers Mountain.

Six hundred meters in the air, the gale howled like a knife.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven gripped the lightning rod with one hand, the bustling traffic of the entire city beneath his feet.

Those luxury cars that were usually unattainable were nothing more than dense swarms of beetles in his eyes at this moment.

This feeling of being above all living beings made the blood in his body boil like magma.

This is the perspective a protagonist should have!

Whatever college entrance exams, whatever five years of simulations and three years of past papers, all seemed incomparably insignificant at this moment.

"Hehehe..."

Great Sage Equal to Heaven let out a strange laugh, looking down at the crowd gathering below.

Police lights flashed, Special Police blocked the roads; in his eyes, this was not an arrest at all, but the worship of a god by Mortals.

The System notification sounds in his mind chimed, like the most pleasant war song.

[Ding! Host detected causing a huge sensation, triggering ten thousand people to watch!]

[Current environmental compatibility significantly increased! Roleplay percentage soared to 30%!]

[Obtained phase reward: Copper Skin and Iron Bones (Elementary), Infinite Strength (Elementary)!]

A warm current instantly flowed through his entire body, and his hands and feet, which had been somewhat stiff from the cold wind, were filled with strength again.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven felt that right now, he could punch through the reinforced concrete beneath his feet.

He turned around abruptly, pointing the low-quality steel pipe in his hand toward the sky. For some reason, the classic line in his head suddenly got stuck, but another famous quote he had read in a novel slipped out of his mouth as if by divine intervention.

"Even if I carry the abyss on my back and need to hold up the Primordial Imperial City with one hand, I am still invincible in the world!"

Although he mixed up his lines, it did not hinder his coolness at this moment.

"Boom!"

He gripped the thigh-thick pure copper lightning rod beside him with both hands, roared, and his arm muscles bulged.

This metal pillar, capable of withstanding a typhoon of over level ten, actually emitted a teeth-grinding sound of distortion in his hands, and was forcibly bent into a ninety-degree right angle.

"Crack!"

The bolts at the connection snapped, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Good! Good skill!"

Great Sage Equal to Heaven cheered for himself, treating the deformed lightning rod in his hand as the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, swinging it so it whistled in the wind.

"Ignorant Mortals, tremble! Tremble under the Golden Cudgel of Old Sun!"

Just as he was intoxicated by his own imposing manner, a huge voice suddenly exploded deep in his mind without warning.

"Student Great Sage Equal to Heaven up there!"

This voice did not seem to come from afar, but rather like someone was shouting directly into his eardrums, shaking his head until it buzzed, and the steel pipe in his hand almost slipped.

"Who?! Who is playing god and acting like a ghost!"

Great Sage Equal to Heaven turned his head abruptly, looking around.

He saw three black six-rotor drones hovering in a triangular formation in the air not far away, the infrared sensors under their bellies locked tightly onto him.

"Are you running dogs of the Heavenly Court?" Great Sage Equal to Heaven sneered, shouldering the steel pipe, his eyes full of contempt, "What kind of skill is it to hide and sneak around? Call the Jade Emperor out to see me!"

Inside the command vehicle hundreds of meters away.

Gu Changan looked at the chuunibyou teenager posing for the drone on the big screen, rubbing his temples helplessly.

"He is too deep into character; anyone who didn't know better would think the wall of a mental hospital had collapsed."

He turned his head to look at the technician at the console: "How is the full-band acoustic intervention effect?"

"Report, team leader, the directional sound transmission is normal, but the target... seems to have mistaken our broadcast for a transmission from the Heavenly Court." The technician replied, holding back laughter.

Gu Changan sighed and picked up a special microphone.

"Great Sage Equal to Heaven, I am Gu Changan, team leader of the Special Operations Group of the National Bureau of Abnormal Affairs."

"Now, I am formally notifying you."

Gu Changan's voice, via bone conduction technology, echoed coldly and clearly inside Great Sage Equal to Heaven's skull.

"Your actions are suspected of violating Article 291 of the Criminal Law, the crime of gathering a crowd to disturb public order; Article 275, the crime of intentional destruction of property; and the crime of throwing objects from a high altitude."

"Given that you are still a minor, I will give you one last chance."

"Immediately put down the weapon in your hand—that is, the steel pipe—clasp your hands behind your head, and lie on the ground."

"Otherwise, we will take compulsory measures."

On the rooftop, Great Sage Equal to Heaven listened to the voice in his mind, not only was he not afraid, but he laughed even more arrogantly.

"Criminal Law? Hahaha! A joke!"

He swung the steel pipe violently, pointing directly at the hovering drone, his face full of disdain.

"I, Old Sun, have jumped out of the Three Realms and am not within the Five Elements! How can mere Mortal laws govern the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?!"

"Want to catch me? If you have the ability, come up and fight me one-on-one!"

"I regard one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals as nothing, let alone you few pieces of scrap metal?"

Great Sage Equal to Heaven got more and more excited as he spoke, even making a provocative gesture, raising his middle finger at the drone.

Inside the command vehicle, the air instantly cooled by several degrees.

Chen Beixuan sat to the side, peeling an orange while gloating as he watched the screen: "This kid is even more brainless than that Manager Zhang. Back in the day, even I didn't dare to directly challenge the Heavenly Dao, yet he is truly a newborn calf that is not afraid of the tiger."

Gu Changan put down the microphone, his face expressionless, but there was a hint of indifference in his eyes as if looking at a dead person.

"One-on-one?"

He chuckled, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"You are not worthy."

Gu Changan turned around and gave instructions to the technician beside him.

"Activate the 'Gravity Suppression Field'."

"Power at 30%."

He paused and added: "Don't crush him, just make him kneel and wake up a bit."

"Yes!" The technician's fingers operated rapidly.

On the screen, the three hovering drones suddenly scattered, each occupying a position, and the energy emitters under their bellies lit up with a faint blue light that was hard to see with the naked eye.

The next second.

The air on the rooftop seemed to solidify suddenly.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven was just about to recite another classic monologue from "Wukong Biography" when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink heavily.

That feeling was as if he had carried a huge mountain out of thin air.

"This... what kind of black magic is this?!"

Great Sage Equal to Heaven's expression changed drastically.

He tried desperately to straighten his back, but his proud "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" were as fragile as paper in the face of this invisible rule-based power.

His knees made a cracking sound, unable to bear the weight.

"Get up... for me!!!"

Great Sage Equal to Heaven's face flushed red, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he let out a low, beast-like roar.

However, that force continued to increase.

Two times gravity... three times gravity...

"Thump!"

A muffled sound.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven finally couldn't hold on, his legs went soft, and he knelt heavily on the ground.

The hard concrete floor was smashed into two shallow pits by his knees.

The "Golden Cudgel" in his hand also became as heavy as a thousand jun, falling to the ground with a clang and rolling to the side.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven supported himself on the ground, panting heavily, sweat dripping down like broken beads. He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes still burning with an unyielding chuunibyou fire.

"This... is this the Five Finger Mountain?!"

He gritted his teeth; even while kneeling, he had to act out the full scene.

"Old man Tathagata! You can trap my body, but you cannot trap my heart!"

"Five hundred years! Even if I am pressed for five hundred years! I will never admit defeat!"

Inside the command vehicle.

Gu Changan looked at this scene, feeling physically uncomfortable. This was no longer a simple violation of the law; this was a severe cognitive disorder coupled with a histrionic personality.

If this kid's chuunibyou wasn't cured, he would probably think he was in seclusion to Cultivate if he were locked in prison.

"Kill the person and punish the heart."

Gu Changan whispered to himself, then turned to look at Chen Xiaobei in the corner.

"Xiaobei."

"Here!" Chen Xiaobei immediately looked up, the light from the screen making his face look greenish.

"Have you found all the information?" Gu Changan asked.

"All of it! It's all here!" Chen Xiaobei rubbed his hands excitedly and clicked on a folder named [Top Secret: Great Sage Equal to Heaven's Dark History Collection].

"This kid started writing angst literature on QQ Space in the third grade of Elementary school, things like 'It's not me who is wrong, it's the world.' In the second year of junior high, he serialized wish-fulfillment novels on Tieba, with himself as the protagonist and all the female leads being popular actresses."

"There's even more explosive stuff!"

Chen Xiaobei clicked on a video, "This is a video of him imitating Ultraman's transformation in his bedroom with a bed sheet wrapped around him. It's an unpublished private log titled 'The Awakening Moment of the Giant of Light'."

Gu Changan nodded with satisfaction.

To deal with such a chuunibyou teenager who considers himself the protagonist, any physical punishment is just tickling.

Only social death is a dimensionality reduction strike.

"Very good."

Gu Changan stood up, straightened his collar, and a devilish smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Connect to the city-wide broadcast, as well as the emergency loudspeaker on the rooftop."

"Let him listen; this is the real 'Heavenly Sound'."

He picked up a printed document and cleared his throat.

"I'm going to start reading."
