I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 957, Section 952: A Lucky Demand (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month!)

Hearing Marne's words, the group fell into a brief silence. They couldn't refute him, not only because of the confidence he displayed at that moment and the Federation's need for him.

More importantly, because what he said did make some sense.

There must have been a reason why Serane did not make any particular effort to expand the number of believers during his "life," nor did he try to restore the state of worship that the gods once enjoyed.

While it can't be said that this is entirely without benefit to him, it certainly does more harm than good.

This wouldn't bring any particularly significant changes for the sun god; in this respect, other deities could benefit far more than him, especially those in special circumstances like the sea god and the wind god.

Realizing this, Lin Zhaoheng added:

"We can also let you lead the expansion of these deity beliefs, making it a resource for you to influence other deities. Even if it doesn't work for the Sun God, I believe it will still be meaningful for the King of Gods."

"And this is not the compensation we intend to give you, but just a benefit that comes with this cooperation."

"Getting back to the main point, if you agree to cooperate with us, we will also pay you generous rewards. First of all, there is the solar publicity you mentioned to us before. Although we have already promised to provide assistance in the last agreement, if you cooperate with us, the assistance we provide will increase many times over."

"And that's not all. We've also prepared a special plan where we'll spread the message that the sun has certain unpredictable properties due to some of its physical characteristics by fabricating scientific findings."

"We will provide you with a certain degree of anti-prophecy properties in this way. Only the Federation can create and maintain such lies, and only we can control all scholars and mouths."

"And we assure you that these claims will continue indefinitely. This is not only a preparation for dealing with the Cherubim, but also our reward for this deal."

"Of course, this is just the beginning."

Kong Shanzhi continued:

"Since we are cooperating with you on a religious level, we will give you a high degree of autonomy in this regard. We will not only help you establish churches and faiths, but also allow you to develop freely in this area."

"As long as you don't let your followers attack us, we will turn a blind eye to whatever you do, and even help you with some subtle operations that only the Federation can do."

At this point, Shadow continued speaking:
"This is a service that the Federation will provide to you free of charge, and we are also prepared to pay you a high price. You can tell us whatever you want."

This is not a good question to answer.

After all, Marn doesn't have any special needs from the Federation right now. In fact, the Federation isn't unable to provide him with any assistance. For example, the Federation could help him and the Eastern Federation Pharmaceutical Company quickly produce a large quantity of anti-mind drugs in a short period of time.

It was enough to restore his mental strength in an instant, enough to awaken the dazed and confused Divine Fist when necessary.

However, this condition could not have been proposed by Serra, and Marne's words did not carry that much weight.

Apart from that, he needed almost nothing from the Federation; he had already obtained almost everything he wanted in his previous contacts with the Federation.

In other words, the Federation had nothing to give Marx and Engels.

Sera had a lot to ask for, but Marne didn't really need much of it.

He opened his mouth and said:

"What do I want? I want to rule the world, I want to break the seal, I want to rise again as destined, I want everything that belongs to me to return to my hands, but you seem unable to satisfy these desires of mine."

Lin Zhaoheng looked a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, King of the Gods, I'm sorry, but these are things we are powerless to change. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't remove the shackles from your body." This was the truth.

The shadow also asked:
Is there anything we can do to satisfy your needs?

Marne nodded and looked at them, saying:
"I also want to destroy Heaven, but it seems you have no intention of granting my wish?"

Lin Zhaoheng paused for a moment, then said:
"We also want to stop Heaven."

Marx and Engels shook their heads:

"No, I mean completely destroying Heaven. If you are prepared and determined to truly solve this problem, then you don't need to offer me any reward; I will stand by your side."

"Because as the King of Gods, I can foresee the threat to Heaven, and therefore I am willing to fight solely to completely eliminate this threat. However, your Federation does not possess the same foresight and wisdom as me."

“You are foolish and arrogant, thinking you can outmaneuver the cherubim in this game. I don’t see much of a chance of winning under these circumstances, nor do I think cooperating with you is a wise decision.”

“If Heaven weren’t worse than you, I would have cooperated with them long ago.”

Lin Zhaoheng quickly explained to him:

"We are also considering ways to end Heaven, but we haven't found or determined the best method yet. We also hope to cooperate with you to kill these angels. In addition to counter-prophecy measures, we also intend to fight against the true nature of Heaven together with you..."

Kong Shanzhi interrupted Lin Zhaoheng again:

"Speak, Sera, what do you want? We'll give you whatever we can afford. Even if you think we can't give it to you right now, you can still tell us. Maybe we'll surprise you."

A black spot resembling a smiling face appeared on the star's head:
"In that case, I do have something I want. First, I need your promise that you will never launch a preemptive attack on the Gods Group that I lead. Second, I need your guarantee that you will never hinder us from breaking the seal."

"Make these two commitments in the capacity of the Federation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaoheng and Kong Shanzhi exchanged a glance, their eyes clearly showing some hesitation.

But soon, Lin Zhaoheng's expression changed, as if she had received some news. Then, with a firm look, she nodded to Ma En and said:

"Okay, I can agree to that."

This treaty has endless consequences, but it's at least much better than losing the help of the gods.

Maren then said:

"Besides that, I have only one simple request. If you agree to this request, I will be willing to let the gods help you counter their prophecies. As for other matters, we can discuss them later."

Shadow realized something was wrong:

"any request?"

Marx and Engels revealed an arrogant smile:

"I want a soul, a body, and a slave. These are the things you can afford to give me, and they are what rightfully belong to me. What I want are my captives."

"I want all ownership of Li Hu."
