I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 791 788. Help from the Elders (4k monthly ticket required~)

The old man did not react to Victor's praise. He just looked up at the armor that was almost perfectly coordinated and said as if it was a routine matter:

“I used something that symbolizes death as its core, and through the weapons you brought, I made it fully defensive against all known gods. However, now it is not enough to only protect against the Sun God camp.

"Mr. Victor, you should have defensive weapons against other gods. I won't ask for more, but please bring me all the defensive items for the gods that are active now. I need this armor to be able to face all the gods at the same time.

“This includes the God of Fire, God of the Sea, and God of the Sky who are currently in our camp.

"is that OK."

After hearing this request, Victor wanted to refuse, but when he met the old man's deep eyes, his throat suddenly became dry and the lie got stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out.

"Okay, okay." Victor said quickly, suppressing his discomfort.

What's wrong with this old guy? Victor always has the illusion that if he lies in front of him, he will be found out, but this old guy should not understand him at all...

Zhao Guanwu nodded:
“As for weapons, what you provided is enough. Adding a few more pieces of equipment is the limit of what I can do in such a short time. Besides, our target is only the Sun God.

"If we kill him, all resistance will be wiped out.

“Although you may not be able to successfully implement your original plan so quickly, you don’t need to really worry about your actions bringing about any irreversible costs.

"That should be enough."

Victor looked at the armor:

"Can this thing really kill Sera?"

Zhao Guanwu said:
"If Sera behaves like this now, then it is more than enough to kill Sera. I have injected death into every weapon component of this armor through the Anti-God Crystal.

“If pierced by any weapon, it will completely end the existence of this sun god.

"Unfortunately, this power seems to be consumed, and the craftsmanship of the person who made it is so exquisite that it is beyond my comprehension, so I am afraid that even I cannot replenish or reproduce it..."

At this point Victor suddenly realized that the old man seemed to have a deep understanding of what this dagger could do.

How can this be?

That's right, just as the old man said, this dagger does not belong to this era. Logically speaking, these stupid humans cannot possibly perceive its nature. To them, the Grim Reaper should look no different from a normal dagger.

How did he do this? Did he get his hands on documents from the Titan period?
And according to him, this old guy seemed to have channeled the power of the dagger into other weapons in the armor. No one could have done this even in the Titan era.

Zhao Guanwu seemed to be completely unaware of Victor's surprise, and continued to speak to himself.
“So I made a button specifically. Death will only be injected when you press it, so as not to waste precious death opportunities. As long as you don’t use the button, then even if the weapon is inserted into the body of another god, it will have no effect.

“Of course, although I’m talking about a button, in actual combat, the user only needs to think about it to release this power. This also allows you to fight with other gods without having to worry about gains and losses.

“Just use death at the most critical moment.

"It should sound clear."

The tone of his voice was like he was explaining scientific principles to a child, but Kong Lu nodded obediently and cooperatively, unusually:
"Well, I understand. Thank you, Grandpa Zhao."

This scene also surprised Victor a little. Kong Lu's attitude towards the Federation's top ability people and ordinary people could almost be described as extremely bad.

Moreover, Kong Lu usually seemed to respect Victor, but Victor could clearly see that beneath his polite words and actions was still a deep-rooted arrogance, and Kong Lu only maintained superficial respect.

In other words, if Kong Lu really respected the other party at this moment, it meant that the old man might have an unusually high status in his heart, and even if his humble attitude was pretended, it also meant that the old man in front of him had reasons for him to do so.

Either way, it shows that this old man is unusual.

But in fact, Victor could realize this without doing this. Just by looking at the armor he forged, Victor had a deep understanding of how powerful this guy was.

If there really is such a master in the Federation, why didn't he take action before? Was it because he was busy with other things in the Federation some time ago?

His question was soon answered.

Because the old man then looked down at Kong Lu and sized him up for a moment:

“Before his death, your great-grandfather asked me to take good care of your father, but your father is very proud of himself and has never asked me for any help until now. He respects me as if I were his own grandfather.

“So when he asked me to help you, I didn’t say much, but you have to remember that your great-grandfather was a good friend of mine when he was alive, and I also like your father.

"But that doesn't mean I like you, I've heard a lot about you.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to say a few words as well."

Victor could see with his own eyes that Kong Lu's expression was obviously much more awkward, and his head was lowered a lot, as if at this moment he really looked like an ordinary young man being scolded by his elders.

"Of course, Grandpa Zhao, just go ahead." Kong Lu sounded a little embarrassed.

It seemed that Zhao Guanwu's last words also made him feel a little ashamed.

Zhao Guanwu nodded:
"We live in a magnificent and mysterious world, but as mortals we are all fragile, and for most people a collapse of rocks can take their lives.

“And for you and me, this world has countless crumbling stones.

"They can fall on our fragile bodies at any time. If you want to live to my age, you'd better not step into places that look dangerous.

"A lot of the scary stuff is beyond our expectations, don't take me as a joke.

"Your body has been transformed to level V, right?"

Kong Lu quickly lowered his head, but he seemed to want to turn around and look at Victor, but he quickly stopped his impulse and focused on talking to Zhao Guanwu:

"Yes, Grandpa Zhao, you have a very good eye..."

His voice became increasingly strained.

Zhao Guanwu laughed out loud:
“Of course my eyesight is good. Your father probably didn’t tell you that the thing inside you was prepared by me for him. It’s just that he didn’t think he really needed it. But that’s true. He doesn’t cause trouble.

"Then again, I doted on your father too much, and he made the same mistake as me."

At this point, the old man looked at Kong Lu and shook his head:

"It's a pity that this body of yours can't even touch the edge of Level V. If some Level IV ability users who are good at fighting know your situation in advance, it will probably not be difficult for them to kill you.

“Don’t think that you can take risks with peace of mind just because you have this thing.

"The one you are provoking now is the Sun God. If he didn't have a seal on his geographical location, even if the Sun God still had only this level of power, he would definitely not be a powerful enemy that we can provoke.

“Even now, it wouldn’t be a good thing for him to notice it.

"You almost died at his hands last time." Kong Lu almost buried his head in his chest, with a look of shame on his face:

"Yes, Grandpa Zhao..."

Zhao Guanwu shook his head:
"After all, I'm not your father, nor am I your great-grandfather. If I didn't like your father, I wouldn't have said these words to you. After this is over, you'd better find some time to reflect on your words and actions.

“If it really doesn’t work, find a few more books to read and figure out what you really want and what is there in this world that is worth pursuing.

“Stop letting stupid inertia rule your life.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Victor:
"Remember what I said."

After saying that, Zhao Guanwu ignored them and walked out of the room.

Only after the sound of his footsteps completely disappeared did the usually unruly Kong Lu breathe a sigh of relief and regain some of his previous composure, but he still seemed a little scared.

"I've never seen you respect others so much." Victor said suddenly.

Kong Lu looked up at him in surprise, as if he had said something unreasonable:
"He's my elder. Although I'm a little unrestrained, I'm not such a jerk that you would think I'm disrespectful to my elders, right?"

Victor blinked in confusion.

Just a little bit unfettered in normal times?
He did not go into the issue further, but asked:
"Who was that old man just now? He looks very powerful."

Hearing this, Kong Lu's face revealed admiration and yearning that he had not dared to show just now.

Even his tone of voice was a little excited:

"Of course! You may not know that Grandpa Zhao is one of the few humans who cooperates with the Federation while being completely aloof from the Federation. All the rules of the Federation cannot restrain him.

“In fact, the Federation even asked him to do many things. Sometimes, many things that were very serious to the Federation were just a piece of cake for him. However, as long as he didn’t want to do it, no one could make him do it.

“No matter how powerful the person is, or how high the status of the councillor is, Grandpa Zhao has no good attitude towards them, and they all want to beg Grandpa Zhao to help them.

"To be honest, I just want to be someone like Grandpa Zhao."

Victor felt even more strange after hearing this. Although the old man did seem to not care much about other people, at least based on what he had seen now, the old man's personality should be much better than Kong Lu's.

Moreover, he always felt that Kong Lu seemed to have some misunderstanding of Zhao Guanwu's image.

"By the way, what did you call me here for? Does it have anything to do with this armor?" Victor tried to bring the topic back to the main topic.

Hearing that he was not going to discuss Zhao Guanwu anymore, Kong Lu looked at the armor with some lingering feeling, then adjusted his mood, put on a serious look and began to explain.

“Our situation is already quite bad, and I cannot allow any more accidents to happen, so I used my family connections to invite Grandpa Zhao to help us.

“Although it’s not finished yet, if this armor is done, according to Grandpa Zhao, even a mortal wearing it can kill the Sun God with the help of the intelligent system.

"I know very well that this is absolutely not an exaggeration."

Victor looked at the armor:

"If Li Hu used it..."

Kong Lu also showed a look of pity:
“If Li Hu used it, he could easily walk into the Free City, kill the Sun God in a few minutes, and then walk out as if no one was around.

“It’s a pity, it would have been better if he died later. But if he hadn’t died, I wouldn’t have thought of asking Grandpa Zhao to come here to help us, even though we didn’t have any so-called agreement to help a few times.

"But this kind of thing will be used less and less each time."

Victor understands this, too:

"So who are you going to send?"

Kong Lu looked at him.

Victor realized what was going on and spoke without even thinking:

"No way. There's no way I'm going to fight the Sun God. This is not part of our deal."

Kong Lu asked in surprise:
"Aren't you an undead? And you are the mortal enemy of the gods. Most of these weapons were provided by you. I don't think anyone is more suitable for this task than you."

Victor said firmly:

“No, I’m not going to fight the Sun God wearing this thing. Yes, I’m not afraid of death, but my body is also quite limited, and I’m not interested in impressing him.

"I will not die, and neither will he."

While this armor has the potential to kill the Sun God, that is not his purpose.

He hoped that the sun god would be victorious.

Victor's goal is to destroy both humans and gods.

Seeing his determined expression, Kong Lu also realized that it might be difficult to convince him.

The young man thought for a moment and suddenly said:
“You know what? After we rejected Mann, he came to us and insisted on getting our reward by helping us deal with the gods.

“He approached us several times. Before the Sun God appeared, and after the news of the Sun God spread, Maan approached us. Of course, we refused according to the contract.

“But Shadow always wants him to intervene in this matter, even if it means breaking the contract.

"Of course, I refused them all."

Of course, the purpose of his saying this was to put some pressure on Victor.

But Victor looked amused when he heard this:

"Really? Then you can treat him as a liar. Without the help of the Titans, he can't be a match for any god. He may not even be able to beat the God of Wind, let alone the current God of the Sun.

"Now he can't get any weapons against the gods through us. If he comes to you again next time, just tell him to get lost and let him think about how he got his weapons by trickery."

This is indeed the case. Now the Titan Council is also under his control. Even if Zasna, that traitor, can provide some weapons, that Marn will not be able to influence the overall situation.

Of course Kong Lu would not do that, but he still replied:
"Okay, but he seems pretty confident."

Victor showed a mocking look:
"That means he's overestimating his own abilities. Don't worry, he's just a lucky liar.

"And we're not going to give him any luck."

I should go to the hospital tomorrow, so I probably won't update.
