I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 935, Section 930: The Fallen Sky

When Ma En returned to the border with this martial arts skill, Li Hongyu was also startled. However, she only asked a few simple questions and, after confirming that only Ma En could learn this martial art, she didn't say anything more.

She's now completely absorbed in those few short martial arts techniques.

Meanwhile, Ma En continued to cultivate the Undying Technique. However, since he had perfected the Blood Regeneration Realm, his lightning-fast progress had slowed down. Li Hu also believed that everything from now on would depend on hard work, and that there would definitely not be any qualitative changes in just a few days. What Ma En needed to do was to seriously cultivate his martial arts.

This was within his expectations, and Ma En began to cultivate patiently, while also secretly planning and preparing for his next choice when entering memories, pondering how he could make progress more quickly.

Just when Marne thought that these next few days would go by so smoothly again...

Things have changed.

The Bureau of Abnormal Control, with its originally simple white walls, now exuded a somewhat grim atmosphere. Qin Lan, standing opposite Ma En, had an unprecedentedly serious expression, while behind her sat a man who looked quite weak.

His clothes were tattered, and he had many unhealed scars on his body. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow and pain, as if he had just experienced something terrible.

"He said he wants to see you." Qin Lan looked at Ma En seriously. "There are some things you need to know."

"What's wrong?" Marne asked with a similarly serious expression. "Roman."

Sitting opposite him at this moment was the former leader of the Northern Federation Salvation Alliance, and a member of the perfect human race from ancient times—the legendary Northern Federation Ogre.

They had reached some kind of loose cooperation agreement and knew about each other's situation.

Although they had not officially joined the Bureau of Anomalies, Ma En always regarded the other party's members as potential employees of the Bureau of Anomalies, and now it seemed that they were about to become official employees.

The once resolute Roman is now as pathetic as a drowned rat:

“They’re all dead, they’re all dead…”

After uttering this sorrowful sigh, Roman's eyes sharpened again, and a strong will briefly returned to his face, temporarily banishing the pain.

He said in a low voice:
“We encountered a massacre. If it weren’t for the agreement we signed with you, I don’t think I would have been able to escape alive…”

Marx and Engels frowned:
"Massacre? Was it done by the Federation?"

Roman shook his head:

"No, it wasn't a massacre targeting the remnants of the Salvation Alliance. Although our alliance was also affected, most of our human members escaped in time. It was just my perfect companions who followed me..."

Qin Lan then reminded her:

"The angels are carrying out the massacre, and the situation is quite serious."

Roman nodded and said solemnly:

"This is a bloody massacre against our race. Not only me and my companions, but as far as I know, almost all the major tribes have been attacked by the Holy Church, and they do not seem to be doing it for any profit."

"That's why I felt I had to inform you. I think it's easy to see that Heaven is doing this to advance their prophecies, but normally they shouldn't be targeting us."

"Unless something I don't know about happens."

Qin Lan also looked at Ma En:

“There are certain special beings in their tribes that are like gods. I have seen my sister’s notes. She believes that angels could potentially kill the gods of these tribes under certain circumstances.”

"And this situation occurs when the angels feel that they cannot fulfill the prophecies about the gods as originally planned, and they are only a small amount of reality-distorting power away from achieving their goal."

"Actually, there is a special department in the Federation that deals with Heaven. They also analyze Heaven's goals. They have mentioned this situation as well. And among all the alternatives to the gods that the Federation has seen, this does not seem to be a particularly noteworthy alternative."

"But my sister doesn't think so. She has a gut feeling, or to put it more directly, I think she sensed through prophecy that the possibility is quite high: the angels might be massacring perfect people."

"In fact, she paid special attention to this matter when she came into contact with the perfect person over the years. Even on the eve of her impending sealing, she had already made some preliminary plans to deal with it."

"It's a pity that we haven't had time to promote it in the Perfect People tribe yet..."

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Roman's eyes:
"But the Federation destroyed all of that."

Qin Lan nodded:

"Moreover, I suspect that Heaven may have given up on fulfilling this prophecy through the Southern Gods. It's probably because our recent contact with them made them realize that this is not something that can be done in a short time."

"Looking back now, the angels at that time were probably already accelerating the prophecy. The cherubim may have thought that Serane's fall was their opportunity, which is why they did those things."

"After realizing how formidable we were, she immediately shifted her target."

Marx and Engels also showed a thoughtful expression:
"Therefore, Heaven is pushing forward the fulfillment of the prophecy by any means necessary."

Qin Lan nodded:

"But here's a problem, and it's what worries me the most. According to the intelligence we've gathered, it seems that Heaven is rapidly fulfilling various prophecies, and this anomaly means a lot."

"First of all, there must be a reason why Heaven didn't do this in the past. The Federation has measured the reality distortion force required to bring back those destined to return, and my sister has repeatedly confirmed this in prophecies."

"The minimum energy required to summon it is also quite high. My sister has seen the Destined Returner return in some kind of incomplete state several times, but that also requires paying a huge price."

"At least the number of prophecies they have fulfilled so far is far from enough, which is why Heaven has not been in such a hurry to achieve this in the past, because it is not something that can be done in a short period of time."

"Even if they could fulfill some prophecies using this alternative, the reality distortion power released would be much weaker. This alternative would only be a nice bonus for the angels."

"They need to fulfill at least most of the prophecies before they can use a few alternative prophecies to push the final step."

"But the situation is that, based on our observations, the angels have not actually fulfilled most of the prophecies. On the contrary, they have adopted alternatives for almost all prophecies, which illustrates the special nature of the situation."

"Either they suddenly become exceptionally close to awakening the returnees, or they suddenly have some other idea and are hiding some plan that should not have appeared but can be realized through prophecy."

"They intend to use less energy than originally planned to launch some kind of reality-distorting attack."

“Whatever it is, it means they’re about to make a big move.” Hearing her explanation, Ma En immediately realized that the Cherubim’s behavior back then was not unexpected, which also explained why she gave up so quickly and didn’t try to play any more tricks on him.

Because she no longer has time.

Just as he feared, after Shenxiao was imprisoned, this terrible world was somehow heading towards an uncontrollable collapse.

Clearly, Heaven wanted to take advantage of Shenxiao's imprisonment to do something she would have definitely stopped, since if Shenxiao regained his freedom, they would likely be suppressed again.

Marx and Engels wore solemn expressions:

"This sounds like things are going badly. What's the reaction from the Federation and other powers? They must have sensed something's wrong."

Qin Lan nodded:

"That's right. Although the Federation is very annoying, they certainly don't want the Holy Church to fulfill its prophecy. After all, if the Returnees are destined to come back, they won't leave the Federation the place it deserves."

"Of course, Heaven is not stupid. They did make promises to many federal congressmen, and quite a few federal congressmen secretly supported the Holy Church, hoping to have their own place in Heaven."

"But most of the councilors are not stupid either; they are greedy, suspicious, and arrogant, so they do not believe that Heaven will keep its promise when the destined returnees come back."

"They believed that the terrible reality warper could destroy any contract between Heaven and them, not to mention the Hell Contract, an anomalous constraint with traces of cherubim, and they didn't trust any other more ancient and reliable forms of constraint at all. This was actually partly thanks to my sister."

"Back then, my sister purged many religious politicians and clearly showed them how terrible and dangerous it would be for those destined to return to our world, so they were somewhat wary of it."

"Of course, even without these, the Federation would ultimately not support the Holy Church. At most, it would reduce resistance to the Holy Church, because even if Heaven completely corrupted these senators, it would be useless."

"The Federation will naturally deal with them when the time comes, because if they do that they will have completely crossed the line and they will threaten the so-called true purpose of the Federation."

"Those smarter, more powerful legislators will join forces with other parts of the federal government to eliminate these legislators, but that will also cause many new problems."

"After all, machines need gears to run. If there is a purge targeting members of Congress, the Federal Movement will slow down a lot, and to be honest, they are already very slow now."

“I’m worried about whether they can really stop Heaven.”

Marx and Engels replied:
"If they release Shenxiao, then Heaven shouldn't be a threat."

This seems like an opportunity.

If the threat posed by the returning ones truly exceeds the Federation's tolerance, they may gradually loosen the constraints on Shenxiao during this process, or even release Shenxiao after signing a contract that guarantees no retaliation, to eliminate this threat that could very well bring about the apocalypse.

Qin Lan, however, is not very optimistic about this:

"I believe the Federation will indeed do so at the last minute, but I don't think they will make the right judgment and decision in the end. They may very well let Heaven succeed when they feel there is no need to release Shenxiao."

"The Federation itself is a huge machine. Although there are many intelligent members of parliament and many equally capable individuals, such a scale comes at a price."

"It gave the Federation unstoppable power, but it also made it incredibly cumbersome, with many joints and parts that were interconnected, and each part would create resistance to the others."

"But when there are too many structures, it is naturally impossible for it to fight back in the most swift way. Just like when it dealt with my sister, it took a long time to prepare and carry it out."

"Moreover, Heaven is different from other enemies, especially the Cherubim who have the ability to prophesy. Without releasing the Divine Firmament, she may be able to prevent the Federation from making the right response."

"Unless the Federation unites with all the abnormal organizations in the world again and re-energizes the oracle that has run out of power, which is probably impossible."

"It's not just because they're not facing Shenxiao this time, but also because the world has changed quite a bit in the past few months, for example, the rebellion of the Eastern Federation Pharmaceutical Company, and..."

"We have replaced Serane."

Marne also realized that this was likely also the reason why Heaven was pushing forward their plans. Not only was Shenxiao currently sealed, but the ancient deity who was almost eternal and immortal was also dead in the open.

Roman added:

"And unlike the Federation, this Heaven is almost flawless. Not only do they have all kinds of angels to handle different problems, but they also do not have any conflicts with each other."

"In a sense, the whole of heaven is wearing the same pair of pants."

Qin Lan continued:

"In fact, although the Federation is cumbersome, it is not afraid of any threat in most cases, because this cumbersomeness also means that it can withstand almost any attack, but Heaven is obviously an exception."

"If the Cherubim really have some underhanded tricks up their sleeves that have never been detected by our prophetic powers, then the Federation may really have a hard time dealing with this threat this time."

Marne said:

"Therefore, we must also pay attention to this matter."

Qin Lan nodded:

"That's how I feel. At least I don't trust the Federation. Or we could think about how to use this incident to release Shenxiao, thereby simultaneously solving Heaven's problems and saving her..."

"But because of the contract, it's difficult for us to do anything too extreme. However, in a peaceful situation, the Federation would definitely think that we are trying to scheme against them."

"Moreover, they may also want to take the opportunity to completely control Shenxiao. Although many people may think that my sister would give up her own freedom in order to save the world, I don't think so."

“I think she would definitely reject the Federation’s excessive demands because, in my sister’s view, this is unlikely to really save the world, and the problem is that the Federation members have this misunderstanding of her.”

"This is a very serious problem, and it could very well mean that we can no longer rely on Shenxiao."

Marx and Engels also recalled seeing the War of Heaven in their memories:

"Ok, I……"

Just then, Qin Lan's expression suddenly became somewhat strange:
"Wait, I just received an invitation from the Federation, and..."

"There are two portions."
