I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1101, Section 1096: Capturing the "God"

Time flies, and the sun and moon are nowhere to be seen.

Soon, Marne gave up on the specific grasp of time. He could sense that the world itself possessed a certain power that influenced the accurate perception of time within.

If I'm not mistaken, there should be some sensory or temporal anomaly here.

Moreover, Ma En suspects that both may exist simultaneously, which may be the reason why he appeared here. Considering the hypnosis he underwent when he entered, this place is likely some kind of secret martial arts training ground.

Given that, it's quite obvious what he should do.

After realizing he couldn't find a way out, Ma En devoted most of his energy to practicing martial arts, only occasionally shouting to the sky when he remembered, waiting for someone to respond.

Moreover, what he said was enough to elicit a response from any normal person. Rather than being deliberately ignored, Ma En was more inclined to believe that no one was observing him at the moment, or that no one could accurately observe him.

If there is some kind of time difference between here and reality, it is very likely that external observations, reactions, and communications cannot be transmitted to oneself in a timely manner.

First, the person outside might not be able to hear their call because the time difference could distort their shout into incomprehensible chatter. Of course, if the other person's attention is entirely on them and they are a very skilled martial artist, then they might be able to hear them clearly.

The premise is that the other party's attention is actually on you.

However, if the other party relaxes their guard even slightly, or doesn't intend to observe them that closely, their shouts can easily be ignored.

At the same time, if the other party really heard what I said, how long would it take for the response to reach me? It all depends on the difference in the flow of time between the two worlds.

At least from the perspective of those who are reminiscing, they certainly wouldn't feel that time was particularly pressing.

After all, who would constantly wonder if they're being fake?

Therefore, he can only release signals at a certain frequency and wait for a response that may never come.

Then, he devoted all his energy to practicing martial arts, not only because he had more time in his memory, but also because of the place he was in at that moment.

This place is clearly a training ground for martial arts, and there is also a magnificent waterfall here, as if it were a divine object.

Although he had created many magnificent scenes in the illusion of the Heavenly Demon for himself to practice, and those natural landscapes gave Maren a feeling of near reality.

But perhaps because the Heavenly Demon has no physical body, the effect is not as good when he creates things that resemble gods, such as some kind of deity in his understanding.

Although they are still real, something is missing.

It wasn't until he saw the waterfall that Marne realized what it had lost was this true "divinity." Just looking at it from afar, Marne felt as if he were gazing at something great that shouldn't exist there.

Moreover, it was completely different from the gods he was familiar with. This thing felt more like a true deity in a cultural sense. Whether it was a god or a returning being, it was too close to him.

In the end, they are actually no different from us.

On the contrary, the waterfall seemed like something he could only dream of but never reach.

Therefore, he directly took it as his goal and began practicing capturing the god. Of course, he did not give up his cultivation of the Undying Law. With his continuous adjustments, the efficiency of his rooting became closer and closer to reality.

Now, he has entered the late stage of the Acquired Realm, surpassing the level of reality.

Of course, this is not an effect that can be achieved overnight.

Although Maren couldn't calculate it precisely, he suspected he might have been there for more than six months, though he couldn't be sure. He felt no anxiety whatsoever from the prolonged time; while he was adept at enduring boredom, he wasn't entirely unaffected.

This further convinced Marne that this place was exerting some kind of influence on his senses, and that he might actually possess mental powers at this moment, but simply couldn't use them here.

However, despite the significant progress in the Undying Technique, the cruel reality is that he still has not mastered the art of capturing gods.

Maren slowly lowered his hand.

The waterfall in the distance remained completely still.

Where exactly did the problem lie?
Although he hasn't mastered the Divine Capture technique yet, he hasn't made no progress in the past six months. At least his movements have become much more standard, and in Ma En's own judgment, he may have already mastered the movements.

Perhaps it was just a misjudgment on his part, but he has certainly improved since then.

Because at the very beginning, he was able to clearly sense his problem. It wasn't that he didn't know what he should do, but rather that he couldn't do what he was supposed to do.

But now he's doing better and better, and he has fewer and fewer problems.

Moreover, it wasn't just his body that could perform the correct movements; Ma En could feel that his understanding of capturing the god was becoming clearer and more accurate, which was entirely thanks to the waterfall.

Simply gazing at it evoked countless associations with this martial art in Marne, and made him increasingly aware of what the God-Capturing Technique was all about.

In fact, the name of this martial art has already explained this matter clearly. The two most important things are spirit and capture. First, he must understand what he is capturing. This understanding does not necessarily mean a true understanding.

This is similar to Maren's strength, but this martial art is also different from Maren's, which was something he didn't realize at the beginning, and it is also the biggest problem in practicing this martial art.

This is something he only understood after seeing the waterfall.

Upon seeing it, Ma En instinctively wanted to try and capture it, whereas he had never felt this urge during his previous training. Over the past six months, he had come to understand the reason for this difference.

Because this waterfall is the god.

He didn't have this impulse before because he hadn't seen God.

This was also his biggest misunderstanding of the martial art. Ma En always thought that the martial art was nearly 90% similar to his reality distortion power, and he always thought of using it according to his own habits.

But he didn't notice, and in fact, the celestial demon might not have noticed either...

That wandering swordsman captured a god.

This is not about capturing demons or monsters, but about capturing gods.

For that swordsman, his opponent was not other martial artists, nor those demons of equal stature, but a "god" who was high above him and whom he had to look up to.

This is also the biggest difference between Maren and him. The Bureau of Control never captures gods; there is no such thing as a "god" in front of it. But this is not the case for that martial artist.

In his time, there were probably many terrifying creatures far more powerful than him.

He chose to raise his hand to these unattainable "gods," just as he had stood up without hesitation when he encountered the demon he could hardly defeat...

This is a martial art that uses the weak to overcome the strong.
