I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1002, Section 997: A Powerful Alliance
Hot blood soaked her palms.

“Demon…” The man with the ruptured chest stared at her with resentful eyes, finally leaving behind a low murmur that sounded like a curse, while behind him lay the corpses of two women with terrified faces.

She looked up and gazed out the window.

It's time.

Clap, clap, clap, the sound of applause rang out.

"How cold-blooded and ruthless," a young woman's voice came from the darkness. "I've heard for a long time that the Cherubim are a real monster, but I never thought you could be so cruel as to harm a child like this."

The cherubim turned to face the young woman emerging from the darkness:

"You finally came."

Karina looked down at the tragedy she had created, a smile of admiration on her face:
“Great, I enjoy working with guys like this.”

The Cherubim said expressionlessly:

"I don't kill humans for fun."

The high school girl asked with a smile in her eyes:

"Then you probably wouldn't mind if I made some fun little things out of them, right?"

However, she released darkness before the cherubim could answer and merged into the corpses, which then regained their "vitality" like deflated balloons that had been refilled.

“If you want to fulfill the prophecy, sometimes a moving corpse is more useful than a stationary one,” Karina enthusiastically explained to the Cherubim. “I can offer you some small assistance in these areas.”

The Cherubim asked directly:
"What do you want?"

She knew something was coming, but she didn't know what it was.

Karina raised her hand, like a queen dismissing a servant, and the corpses that had risen again left the room with her gesture.
“Good question. What I want has no value to you: freedom and power. I’m talking about real freedom, which means I’m not under your control.”

"We can discuss the specific scope gradually, and I can also provide solutions on how to achieve it."

"But none of that is urgent. What really matters is what you need."

The Cherubim said:
"Good question, why would I need you?"

Karina said with a smile:

"Haven't you already sensed it yourself? You don't have much time left. If you continue with your plan at the original pace, you might never see him return in this lifetime."

“You need allies, not the kind of third-rate thugs who can’t be relied on in a critical moment. Those guys wouldn’t last half a minute against the Federation’s army. You need guys who can actually help.”

"My servants and I can help you turn the tide and achieve your goals."

The Cherubim still showed no emotion:

"If you want to prove yourself, then remove the countermeasures and let me see for myself that you are not an ally I can trust."

Karina ignored her question and instead said:
“Without my help, you would never have been able to win. You may think that the Federation is a big threat now, but it is nothing compared to your real enemy.”

The cherubim calmly expressed their doubts:

"You mean Sera?"

Karina answered briefly:
"To be more precise, it's Marne, or you could call him Sera. Although I have no proof, I believe that the so-called Sera and Marne are the same person, since Sera didn't prepare such a resurrection ritual at all."

"You can understand it this way: Marne has mastered some kind of technology to steal divine power."

The Cherubim frowned:

"You didn't lie, but you didn't tell the whole truth either."

But more importantly, Karina just released a portion of the future with extremely advanced technology; even for her, releasing it with such precision would require considerable effort. The Cherubim continued, "..."
"what are you?"

Karina said with a smile:

"I've already said that the point isn't here. There are too many things you haven't considered in this war. Without my help, you would inevitably fail, and under such circumstances, my purpose is no longer so important."

"Isn't it?"

The Cherubim shook their heads:
"I need to know if you will stop my plans."

Seeing her insistence, Karina sighed:

"Of course I will stop your plans, but not now. Just because you can see the future doesn't mean you have to deal with it now. If Heaven is destroyed in a few days, it won't matter whether I stop your plans or not, will it?"

The Cherubim, still expressionless, asked:

"What good is this for you? If you don't want the destined returners to come, what is your purpose in helping us? If you want to take advantage of this opportunity to steal our power, then I'd rather take the risk."

"Probably it's better this way."

Knowing there was no way to reason with this kind of thing, Karina sighed.

"It's very simple. I want to help you eliminate the biggest enemy in this war. Let me put it this way: if I let him and the Federation wipe you out, what happens next will be beyond my control."

"In that case, I could be eliminated by him at any time. Just as you need allies, I also need allies to fight against Marx and Engels. If you insist on having me, then why..."

"Personal grudges."

The cherubim remained unmoved and said:

“He hasn’t been around for long, and I’ve never heard of him having a grudge against you.”

Karina flashed a slightly manic smile:
"Yes, of course you don't know, just like he doesn't know either, at least not now, but some people in this world are like ice and fire, they can never coexist."

The Cherubim repeated:

"You didn't lie, but you didn't tell the whole truth either."

The girl gave a slightly embarrassed smile:

"That's right, but I can assure you that my feud with him is far more important than whether you rule the world. You won't be my problem until I settle things with him."

“If I take action against your achievements, you can fight me again, but I will definitely not have the upper hand on your home turf. However, if you let him win this time…”

"Those destined to return will become those destined to wander."

The cherubim responded like a machine:

"You're not lying."

Karina continued:

"The Federation is your problem, but there are some things that only I can stop. If we don't join forces, things may get out of control before you even have a final showdown with the Federation."

The cherubim cast a questioning look at them.

Karina said:
“There’s someone trying to tip off our common enemy. My servants have had her trapped for a long time, but she might break free if this continues, and it’s not convenient for me to take action myself.”

"I need you to help me contain her. You can also take this opportunity to observe the relationship between this guy and Ma En. I believe she can help you realize the danger of some things, and then we can start cooperating..."

"I've been looking forward to a long time seeing the Archangels and the Lord of Darkness join forces."
