I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 956, Section 951: The Gods of the Past

Marne did not ask why, after all, it would be going too far to continue.

His curiosity and doubt about Zhao Guanwu did not stem from "Sera," but from Maren himself. He had encountered this old man when he infiltrated the Federation, and Qin Lan had warned him about it at that time.

She had said at the time that this old man was one of the few people Shenxiao feared.

When they first met, Maren noticed something was wrong, even though he had made all the necessary preparations to disguise himself and appeared to be perfectly fine both outwardly and inwardly.

In reality, Zhao Guanwu did not actually expose his disguise, but Ma En could sense that he must have noticed something at that time. Even if he did not realize who he was, he must have sensed that something was amiss.

But at the time, he not only didn't expose the lie, he even completely ignored his own existence.

This aligns with what the Federation is saying right now—they can't truly control Zhao Guanwu, so even if Zhao Guanwu creates anti-god armor for them, there's no need to warn their infiltrating spies.

This also made Maren a little worried. After all, in this kind of matter, he would prefer that the person in charge of making the judgment be a strong person who is completely loyal to the Federation, rather than this mysterious and unpredictable person.

After all, this kind of thing concerns the survival of all mankind.

But since the shadows said so, Mar and Eng could only tentatively trust their judgment.

Marne said:

"Still foolish, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

Shadow agreed with this view, and in fact, Zhao Guanwu did not support them doing so. When the Federation asked him to carry out the anti-prophecy project, he directly proposed to build a weapon specifically to attack Heaven.

According to Zhao Guanwu, given the right resources, he could create the ultimate weapon capable of destroying the very essence of Heaven—an anti-reality distortion cannon.

Although there are many demanding requirements for destroying Heaven with this weapon, as long as it is used correctly, it can effectively destroy the existence of Heaven. According to Zhao Guanwu, this weapon can disintegrate all reality-twisting creations without a master, and the same applies to Hell.

However, for the Federation, the resources required to manufacture such a weapon are far too expensive, to the point that they cannot afford it at all, and Shadow knows that this matter is not even worth considering the opinions of the congressmen.

The federal government itself would reject the proposal.

Because it is itself a kind of "reality distortion creation" that has lost its master.

Of course, even if the federal government agrees, lawmakers will not.

Hearing Ma En say this, Lin Zhaoheng also spoke up to explain:

"If you don't believe me, we can show you our contract with him and the details of all the discussions to ensure that we are absolutely certain about this matter."

"Moreover, our plan will also have many benefits for you, because according to Zhao Guanwu's calculations, we can reverse a large number of their prophecies through cooperation with you."

"You should know that the prophecy of the destined returner is based on the content of pagan gods, and in his prophecy, heretical gods like you do not exist."

"In other words, if they succeed, you will all be destroyed. "That is precisely why we can counter their prophecy by targeting this point; they are eliminating all groups that can be considered pagan gods except for you."

"But the reason why this works is largely because the gods have just been reorganized and you have been keeping a low profile recently. Although your recent struggles with us have been anything but low-key, from the perspective of the gods, you are not particularly powerful in the entire history of the gods."

"Not only are there no large-scale followers, but there are also no temples or shrines. Even without comparing them to the grandeur before you were sealed away, the gods today are at the stage in history where they are least like gods."

"If we bring you back into the public eye as gods to be worshipped through appropriate means, we can weaken the prophecies they have fulfilled and reverse the power they have gathered."

"For this purpose, we are willing to provide the greatest assistance to expand your power and enable the gods to become a respected faith."

“We have many scholars, media outlets, and public figures who can easily bring you back into the public eye, either making them flock to you like a trendsetter or defend you like the most devout believers.”

"We can seize the public's faith from the Holy Church. With this opportunity, you will have far greater influence than before, and many believers will flock to the Southern Federation to provide you with strength."

"The Wind Goddess's current state requires her to devour believers to maintain it. If enough believers join the Southern Federation, at least her current state can be maintained for longer."

"And all the gods will therefore have more followers and more power."

As Lin Zhaoheng spoke, her expression became more confident. Clearly, she believed that this plan was extremely beneficial to the gods, and therefore they would consider it carefully.

However, Marx and Engels immediately showed a puzzled expression:

"Finished talking? What's the benefit for me?"

Lin Zhaoheng was stunned for a moment, wanting to repeat what he had just said, but he forced himself to hold back his words the moment he opened his mouth.

Kong Shanzhi began by saying:
"Is having more believers useless to you?"

Marx and Engels said with great confidence:
"Of course, I don't need more believers. I won't become stronger because of them. What you see now before the seal is broken is the strongest version of me. No amount of believers will make me stronger."

"Because you simply cannot defeat me, nor can you reduce the number of my chosen people. This is something other gods need to worry about, if anyone could actually kill my chosen people..."

"The quantity is meaningless."

Marx and Engels' words can be said to be half true and half false. More believers are certainly not meaningless, at least not so meaningless to the sun god, but he is not a sun god who can exist forever.

For him, more voters wouldn't bring much improvement, only a slight increase in duration, and this improvement is far less significant than the change brought about by an increase in spiritual strength.

Of course, for the true sun god, such an elevation is indeed not very meaningful, because his power is completely beyond this stage, so the number of believers can never bring about a qualitative change.

Moreover, his chosen people are indeed very difficult to kill. Firstly, Marne himself is human and can always be used as a vessel for power. As for the former true sun god...

Except when he fought against Shenxiao, he never actually exhausted the voters.

Even the battle that I sealed away myself was not included.
