I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 944 939. Traveling together
Faced with his proposal, Marx and Engels gave only an ambiguous reply:
“We’ll have plenty of time to talk once this problem is solved, but right now we should really be focusing on what’s going on in Heaven. You should all realize that this is probably the biggest crisis we’ve faced in recent years.”

Kong Shanzhi, however, showed little interest in Marx and Engels' words:
"Maybe, but things that require thinking are not my responsibility. If you like to discuss these things, you can go to Lao Liu or Lin Zhaoheng. They might be more interested in what you have to say."

Although it sounded like a martial artist disdaining to get involved in such matters, Maren could sense a subtle difference in the matter.

He simply finds it troublesome.

It's not that I have any opinion on these kinds of things, I just simply hate troublesome things.

Marx and Engels asked in confusion:
"Aren't you worried about Heaven?"

Kong Shanzhi answered earnestly:
"Of course, with the Federation in existence, it's impossible for Heaven to actually create any danger. I've lived for many years and have seen all sorts of so-called doomsday scenarios."

"But in the end, I'm still alive, aren't I? And I'm standing right in front of you, safe and sound. Not even heaven could threaten my life, let alone the kind of apocalypse that threatens the survival of the Federation."

A strong sense of self-confidence emanated from him, yet this very confidence made Marne feel threatened.

Leaving aside the fact that Kong Shanzhi's premise was wrong and the existence of the Federation was completely different from his understanding, the sheer level of confidence that had gone unnoticed was already very dangerous.

Even Serah, known for his arrogance, couldn't see this kind of "confidence".

He was arrogant only when dealing with others, but he showed no slackness when it came to dangerous matters.

But Marx and Eng did not point this out; they simply nodded slightly.
"In other words, even if I don't get involved, it will resolve itself naturally."

Kong Shanzhi said with a smile:

"I don't care whether you get involved or not, but if your involvement is necessary to resolve this, then the Federation will naturally find a way to make it impossible for you to refuse. I have something to do later, so in any case..."

"Anyway, you have to practice with me then, it's settled."

After saying that, as if afraid that Maren would change his mind or refuse, he immediately turned and walked towards the door, not giving Maren any chance to answer the question.

Almost the instant he left, his shadow flashed and reappeared in front of Marne.

"Let me take you to a place to rest."

Marx and Engels asked:

"So you're the one who was responsible for receiving us?"

The shadow replied:
"I'm the person in charge of receiving you, and it was my initiative to offer this."

But he didn't explain anything, seemingly waiting for Mar and Eng to ask questions.

Marx and Engels nodded slightly.

"Let's go then."

The shadow paused for a moment, then lifted its leg and led him outside.

Marne followed quietly behind him.

After a dozen seconds, the shadow suddenly spoke to itself:
"To be honest, the Federation's previous interactions with you haven't been particularly pleasant. If they had listened to my advice, things definitely wouldn't have gone in those directions. I'm different from the Federation..."

"The Federation is too crude. In their eyes, you are either too weak or too strong. They can't recognize that subtle kind of terror, that kind of self-hidden danger."

"Logically, this is also my job, and the Federation should listen to my advice. It's just that you've always been unlucky, always seeming to be involved in things they feel are unacceptable. "That's how mistakes accumulate. Fortunately, you managed to stop things from escalating to an irreconcilable point. But to be honest, I'm a little surprised by this outcome..."

"Well, it's actually quite reasonable, but I always thought you would teach them a real lesson."

As Marx and Engels walked, they said:
"You talk as if you know me very well."

The shadow smiled:
"As I said, we are the same kind. I can smell which guys are hunters and see which guys are prey who are just putting on a brave face. I'm not talking about the strength of their abilities, like that Kong Shanzhi."

"No matter how well he trains, he's still just a strong bull."

Marx and Engels neither agreed nor disagreed with his theory of analogy:
"Perhaps, but there are also herbivores like elephants in nature."

The shadow replied meaningfully:
“You’re absolutely right, but elephants aren’t our kind either.”

Marx and Engels then asked:

"So have you figured out how to organize us ability users? Slogans alone won't unite us to fight against Heaven. They should understand that, right?"

The shadow shrugged:

"I don't know if they understand or not, but at least they're not stupid enough to be that stupid. Although you've met a lot of brainless Federation members, these guys are still somewhat capable."

"At the very least, they are the leaders of the flock, and they do have a detailed plan. The Federation will pay a heavy price to advance this battle. First of all, this war will focus on several major battlefields."

"You should know that there are quite a few V-order angels. Although they have always tried to keep it a secret, according to the Federation's deduction, there should be as many as seven V-order angels now."

"This number is slightly less than that of gods or hellish creatures of the same rank, but the different angels are very united, and all the angels we have discovered are quite powerful, many of them are at the top level of rank V."

"Among all the unusual forces in the world, this situation is quite rare, and it is not even the norm in the history of Heaven, where there are often many more angels."

"At that time, not every angel possessed top-tier power of their rank. According to our speculation, this situation was likely the result of the angels deliberately pushing things out over the years, since the total amount of power in Heaven is limited."

"So they used various methods to concentrate the power of Heaven on fewer angels."

"This also makes them stronger and more dangerous."

Marne said:

"That means it's harder to defeat them one by one."

The shadow nodded in agreement:
“That’s right, but we can’t attack them all at the same time. Fortunately, we have an opportunity now. In order to fulfill the prophecy, these angels will have to separate. In my opinion, we just need to attack them at the same time and defeat them one by one, and then take the opportunity to send a special team to Heaven.”

Marx and Engels nodded:

"That sounds pretty promising. The remaining problem is how to deal with the cherubim's prophetic abilities."

The shadow smiled and shook its head:

"No, the problem is that they didn't even consider my plan."

"However, this is indeed because of the Cherubim, because the solution I proposed was very simple..."

"It means releasing Shenxiao."
