I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1017, Section 1012: The Fallen Star

Ma En turned around to look at the man who had spoken. He was a middle-aged man wearing a patient's gown, which already set him apart from most patients, as most patients, including Ma En, seemed to be able to wear their own clothes.

Although the man was dressed simply, he exuded a remarkable aura. Despite his ordinary appearance and physique, he made everyone around him pale in comparison simply by standing there.

Without any external embellishment, Marx and Engels could sense that he was a great man.

He already had a vague idea in his mind:
"you are?"

The middle-aged man extended his hand to him quite formally:
"Serahn".

Marx and Engels also shook his hand politely:

"Marx and Engels".

Although he spoke briefly, many thoughts were already flashing through Maren's mind, because if the man in front of him was really the King of Gods, it would be extremely bad news for him.

This means that his contained items have been leaked.

In the worst-case scenario, even the Bureau of Abnormal Control could be torn apart by the destined returners.

However, Serane's appearance is not entirely bad news, because he is one of the few super strong people that Ma En knows who has reached the VII level, and he may have important information that can change the status quo.

Serane smiled nonchalantly:

"You don't need to introduce yourself to me. I know you are Marne, and we should be considered friends. But it seems the rumors are true, and you really have something wrong with your head."

"You don't remember me, do you?"

Marx and Engels nodded:

"I seem to remember your name; you gave me the impression of being an extraordinary guy."

Seran smiled:

"Those glorious days are over. Now we are all prisoners here, so let's skip the pleasantries. We have more important things to do."

Upon hearing this, Marx and Engels immediately perked up:

"What are we supposed to do?"

Serane also leaned against the railing:
"prison Break."

Marne also turned to look at the distant mountains and forests:
"What do you mean?"

After saying that, he glanced at his shadow beside him.

Serane, understanding perfectly, smiled confidently:

"Don't worry about him, he's no threat to us. But you'd better be prepared for what I'm about to say, don't be scared."

Marx and Engels said calmly:

"Of course, I'm not afraid of anything."

Seeing his attitude, Seran showed a satisfied expression:
"What truly imprisons us here is the church."

pause.

Clearly, Seran was expecting some kind of surprise, but this only made Marne realize his situation; obviously, from Seran's perspective, questioning the Church was quite shocking.

This also means that he is likely still largely distorted by the destined returner.

It's likely that no one in this world, except himself, could maintain such clarity. Ma En didn't know exactly what was going on, or whether it was related to the angel that the Divine Eye had asked him to take in.

"Wow," Ma En replied somewhat perfunctorily, "Could you explain what's going on?"

Sera ignored his pretense and said with a serious expression:

"You may have heard many claims, such as this is an alien prison, the fungal people have completely taken control of the church's upper echelons, and the so-called secret church."

"But all of that is nonsense. What I'm about to say is the truth. This is not just a mental hospital; it is actually some kind of prison, but it has nothing to do with lizard people, aliens, or subterranean people. Those are just baseless conspiracy theories."

"There is no evil force hiding in the shadows. The real darkness has long since surfaced. The one who imprisoned us here is the actual controller of the mental hospital—the church itself."

"True evil has already taken control of the world; the victors have no need to hide."

Marx and Engels completely agreed with this:

"What you said makes a lot of sense."

Seran nodded:
"But don't be fooled by the church's glamorous appearance now. Like all rulers, they certainly have many shady dealings. The prosperity of heaven is entirely built on lies."

"And the biggest lie in all of this is that the returnees are the only gods."

Marne looked at him with suspicion:
"What do you mean?"

Serane sneered at the sky:
"The divinity of the Returned One is merely a poor imitation. There were gods in this world before his appearance, but they were either slaughtered by him or imprisoned by him."

"And what I'm about to say might sound a little crazy to you..."

"But I am God."

Mar and Eng nodded calmly:

"Hmm, so how did you become like this?"

Seran raised an eyebrow and said:

"you do not believe?"

Mar and Eng looked at him intently:
"I believe."

Silent stare.

After a moment, Serane withdrew his gaze:

"It was a treacherous war. Heaven threatened me with my people and also used trickery to seal and steal my divine power, which is why I have ended up in this situation."

"Of course, you might think I'm crazy, but if you're willing to offer me some help, you'll soon find out whether I'm crazy or not, because you'll soon encounter obstacles from angels."

Marx and Engels asked, puzzled:
"what can I do for you?"

Seran said:
"Help me break the seal."

Marne looked at him with suspicion:
"What do you mean?"

Seran shifted his stance, explaining earnestly:
"Heaven has sealed me away in some way, even making you forget that I am the true god that you humans should worship. But as long as the seal can be broken, I can regain my power."

“I’ve already said it, they stole the power through trickery. If I could really regain my divine power, then Heaven wouldn’t be able to stop me now. I could destroy them with just a flick of my finger.”

"But I can't do this by myself, so I need your help."

"If you can help me break the seal, I will give you supreme power when I return, and even make you my offspring, granting you eternal life and infinite power."

Now, Ma En has a question in his mind: what exactly is the seal that Serane mentioned? Is it the suppression of him by the destined returners, or the seal imposed on him by the Titans?

If it's the latter, then a free sun god might not be a good choice either.

He hadn't forgotten how cunning Seran was.

But Mar and Eng still asked:
"Don't mention what reward you're going to give me yet. Tell me first how I can help you?"

Seran pointed to the ground:

"We must first rescue the other imprisoned gods."
