I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1102, page 1097: "Capturing" the God
Now Maren realized that when the demon casually mentioned the fate of the wandering knight, it actually contained a hidden truth that was crucial to him—it was a challenge with no chance of survival.

Although he had no other evidence, Maren sensed from this martial art that this wandering swordsman was probably not attacking a stronger opponent for the first time; it was likely a habit or a creed of his.

At least when he created this martial art, his imagined target must have been a god far stronger than himself.

And in the end too.

This is also the biggest difference between him and Marx and Engels.

At least when using the control bureau, Marn never considered himself a challenger. If he really had to use a metaphor, he might be somewhat inappropriate to see himself as some kind of spider.

Weaving nets and hunting are what he uses the Control Bureau to do.

But for this wandering knight, challenges and adventures are probably the norm.

This is why, although the martial art seemed suitable for him at first glance, when he actually practiced it, Ma En always felt that there was something wrong, because the similarity was only superficial.

They have completely different cores.

The Heavenly Demon also made a wrong judgment about this. Perhaps, for the Heavenly Demon, there were really not many people stronger than him, and the feeling that the Divine Fist that could truly defeat him was definitely not like that.

Of course, it's also possible that in the eyes of the celestial demon, this feeling is completely unimportant.

After all, he had already mastered the art of capturing gods.

However, for Marx, who was of mediocre talent, this understanding of martial arts authors was crucial, and it gradually enabled him to see the path ahead.

This was actually entirely due to the strange feeling the waterfall gave him.

This made him increasingly suspicious that this place was indeed some kind of martial arts secret realm. Perhaps the waterfall was not something that necessarily existed here, but rather a manifestation based on his current understanding of martial arts.

Besides his understanding of the gods, his understanding of capture has also progressed during this period of martial arts practice.

Unlike the former, Marx and Engels' understanding of capture was gradually formed through constant hard practice, but it also relied on his understanding of God.

Capture the god, capture the god, the one to capture is the god.

This word contains unparalleled boldness, especially after Marx and Engels understood the meaning of God, they could better realize the attitude with which he launched the attack.

That's right, he's challenging someone stronger.

However, at the same time, this wandering swordsman also believed that he was capturing these powerful individuals.

This spirit clearly did not come from the difference in strength between the two, but from something else. Martial arts itself did not explain the reason, but Ma En could guess it from the story told by the Heavenly Demon.

The demon did not mention his name, but referred to him as a "wandering knight".

The word itself contains a wealth of information. The so-called hero is often associated with punishing evil and promoting good, and his final attack on the Heavenly Demon confirms this.

He wanted to capture the Heavenly Demon.

The source of this spirit is probably his sense of right and wrong.

Rather than saying he thought he could capture the Heavenly Demon, it would be more accurate to say he thought he should capture the Heavenly Demon.

He felt he should do it.

This is a kind of enlightenment, not a desire.

This is why Marx and Eng were somewhat at a loss when faced with the scene created by the Heavenly Demon.

That is, he never intended to capture them. This idea may not necessarily stem from a desire to uphold justice, but could also originate from some other aspect.

But he must have that kind of spirit to use such martial arts.

Upon seeing the waterfall, he indeed had a similar thought. It was precisely because he realized the grandeur of the waterfall that he had the desire to conquer it, just as one would naturally want to climb to the top of a steep mountain after seeing it.

Marx and Engels' understanding of these two points led them to the illusion that they already knew how to capture God.

Yes, that's just an illusion.

Because after he mastered this martial art, he immediately began trying to capture the waterfall.

Then came a series of failures.

The waterfall remained completely still.

Now, he's almost at his wit's end.

In the beginning, he thought about how to comprehend the Divine Capture technique almost every day, but now all he can think about is "Where exactly is the problem?"

After each failed attempt, Ma En would reflect on his mistakes. Although he could find some minor flaws now, upon closer examination, they were all insignificant.

This is not the reason why he couldn't catch the waterfall.

He couldn't find the reason either.

So now he is also facing a choice.

Upon closer reflection, although he doesn't think he has any problems, it's likely not because he knows enough, but precisely because he knows too little.

His "ignorance" prevented him from noticing the remaining problems.

But just as Marne felt, the experience he had gained over the past few days was by no means wasted; in fact, the practice and insights he had gained during this period would undoubtedly provide him with tremendous help.

It's even possible that if the Heavenly Demon gives him a few more pointers, those problems he's not even aware of can be solved, and then he might be able to quickly master the art of capturing gods.

So here's the question: should he leave now?
Perhaps once I exit the hypnotic state, I can quickly master the art of capturing spirits in reality.

But he could also choose to stay. Based on the previous hypnosis sessions, even if he stayed here for more than ten years, in reality it would only be a few days at most, and that wouldn't change anything.

But it could potentially give him a huge boost.

After all, once he leaves this place, he might not be able to find any martial arts secrets.

However, this might also be a waste of time.

Furthermore, if he were to remain asleep for an extended period, it might affect his collaboration with Qin Lan.

After thinking it over, Ma En decided to practice a little more.

Although he couldn't judge the time, he could use the progress of his Undying Technique as a reference. If he really couldn't achieve anything, he could leave early.

With this in mind, Ma En once again immersed himself in martial arts training. However, his training became much more boring than at the beginning, because he made no progress in capturing gods for a long time afterward.

Even when the Immortal Law was almost at the point of perfect enlightenment, he still couldn't shake the waterfall.

In the process, he also tried using the Divine Capture technique on other places, such as towering boulders, lush green trees, or babbling brooks...

At first, when he tried it, there was nothing wrong with it, there was no response. But later he gradually felt that he felt a little awkward every time he did it.

He shouldn't have touched those things.

This hardly qualifies as capturing a god.

The only thing truly worth investing in is the waterfall.
