I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1008, Section 1003: A Turning Point in Fate

Sunset.

Ignoring all the pain, Ma En plunged into the black mud, intending to ignore Karina and rush to the deepest part. Although there was no evidence to prove it, he had a vague sense of the urgency of time.

But he had other feelings in his mind as well.

Because the Divine Eye did not give any warning about this event, and his trust in the Divine Eye is the real reason why he has come to this point—he does not think that he made a wrong judgment, or that the Divine Eye did not predict this moment.

Whether it was the final warning from the Divine Eye to the Goddess of Darkness, or its earlier mention that the containment of the Cherubim might not go as planned by Marne, it all hinted at its ability to control the course of events.

If that's the case, then Maren can only conclude that the current scene is exactly what the divine eye was expecting.

In other words, although the Divine Eye did not speak in riddles, it probably did not tell him everything either. Maren could understand this situation, since sometimes revealing the complete prophecy would actually hinder the achievement of the goal.

He has given up on containing the true Cherubim. Obviously, it would be too late to contain the Cherubim under these circumstances, and it is probably not something that the Eye of God truly wants him to do.

This also shows that it believes it has enough information to steer the future in the right direction, which is why it did not confront the Cherubim itself.

To be more precise, the true mastermind behind this battle should be Divine Eye; he was merely an agent in this battle. Although Ma En was not used to such things, considering the feeling of meeting Divine Eye...

In the end, he chose to believe his so-called friend.

boom!
Ma En burst out of the black mud, and at the same time, a powerful fist slammed into his chin. Feeling the impact, Ma En immediately used his mental power to fly to the side and looked at the guy who attacked him.

The attacker looked like a weathered middle-aged man, but his limbs and head had been completely detached from his torso, held together only by the filthy black mud.

On his abdomen, black mud was spreading out, dragging a girl's head.

The girl smiled at Marne:

"As I said, multi-front warfare is the most basic ability of our gods. Although he is not perfect, he is enough to become my chosen one. Perhaps I am not your opponent, but it is not difficult to stop you."

“I did much more than just this preparation.”

As Karina said, Maen could sense that the church itself had a very strong spatial blockade. Facing an opponent who was also at the top level of the V rank, and with all the measures she had prepared in advance, it would not be easy to break through here in a very short time.

Ultimately, this was because the enemy had made preparations for battle in advance, and there was an extremely large information gap between them. However, this made Marx and Engels think even more about the purpose of the Divine Eye.

Because if it wanted to, it should be able to easily bridge this information gap.

In other words, it might want the events that happened after Karina to occur. Similarly, this also means that such a change is unlikely to be fatal for itself, and may even have some benefit.

What makes this possible is its emphasis on "containing Cherubim".

In other words, the most important thing for him now is not to reveal his intentions, and then to find a way to win. But this also raised Marx and Engels' doubts: what kind of change is both dangerous and not fatal?

While he was pondering, he also used his mental power to capture his opponent's limbs and torso. Meanwhile, Karina used black mud to create another encirclement around him, and countless tentacles were approaching him.

But none of these things are as swift as his mental power.

Marne pierced his opponent's body with his spiritual power and instantly released the power he had prepared.

Death of God.

The girl's expression instantly turned one of intense pain, even revealing a hint of panic and terror, but Maren felt no joy whatsoever...

Because the wriggling black mud, like tentacles, was still attacking him at an extremely rapid pace, he could only desperately use his mental power to deflect them, which was not difficult given his extreme mental strength.

But each time he touched them, these black tentacles left a considerable stain on his spiritual power.

Moreover, the death of God had not been successfully consumed. Seeing that Marne had not relaxed his guard at all, Karina also dropped her feigned pain and smiled at him again, saying:

"You don't think the Cherubim didn't warn me, do you? If so, I'm a little disappointed in you. I was hoping for a closely fought battle..."

As she spoke, the black mud that was floating around the area suddenly burst forth with countless extremely sharp black arrows, all rushing towards Ma En at the very center.

However, just as they were about to land on Marne, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Shifting positions." Reappearing in the same spot, Li Hongyu stirred her long staff, using her aura to deflect the arrows, and then, like an elegant dancer, easily avoided all the black mud.

Meanwhile, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, where there is no longer any trace of black mud.

Suddenly, Ma En reached out and grabbed the high school girl by the neck. At the same time, all his mental power erupted and locked onto her body, and the Death of God once again seeped into her body.

Unlike before, this time the death of the god was consumed instantly.

Her breathing had also weakened considerably.

Karina opened her mouth, then a look of pain flashed across her face:

"Good guy..."

Solidification V-5.

Karina, who was speaking, suddenly shut her mouth, and then her whole body became like a statue, unable to move, locked in place by the mental power that Ma En was fully driving.

Taking advantage of Karina's weakened state, Maen immediately trapped her.

Disintegration of V-5.

Despite using a similar name, this move was re-examined after he arrived at V-5. Countless spiritual forces, within the smallest scale that Maen could reach, transformed into countless individuals like piranhas, and began to devour Karina's body with terrifying power.

Karina stared intently at Ma En, black mud seeping from her eye sockets and skin, attempting to erode the mental power that was binding and gnawing at her, but this caused Ma En intense stinging pain.

But his mental strength did not become unstable as a result, as if the pain did not exist at all.

In just a few seconds, her skin was already a bloody mess from being eaten, and the black mud gushing out of her body was almost completely consumed as well.

There was a lot of black mud surging upwards on the ground, but it was too late...

If things continued like this, taking down Karina wouldn't seem like an extremely difficult task. But just as Maen had gained a complete advantage, a hint of a smile appeared in Karina's eyes.

Suddenly, a golden pillar of light rose from the center of the church.

A terrifying storm swept over Marne's body in an instant, and all his spiritual power was instantly melted and dissipated upon contact with this storm, as if he had encountered something incompatible with water and fire.

Having broken free of her restraints, Karina smiled, revealing half of her rotten face.
"It's over, Marne. All your decisions were correct. If it were a fair competition, I probably wouldn't be your match."

"But unfortunately, fate was on my side; the outcome was already decided long before the war even began."

"I know better than anyone what you're going to do, and what you're capable of. Light can't overcome darkness. Enjoy this new world; it's our victory, and your end..."

"You lost again."

Ignoring her arrogant laughter, Ma En looked at the golden pillar of light that pierced the sky. For some reason, this energy that had disrupted his spiritual power felt strangely familiar.

Were all of this within the Divine Eye's prediction? Is this what it expected?
Thinking this, Maren saw the golden light suddenly burst forth...

Then it flooded the whole world.
