Chapter 990, Section 985: The Cataclysmic Changes in Paradise
Despite Marne's many doubts about the ease with which the whole thing went, the Federation expressed great congratulations on their victory. Moreover, there were many hints in the Shadow's words, suggesting that in their view, this battle not only thwarted their progress on the prophecy but also achieved other results.

As promised, the Federation was willing to give Ma En a sufficient reward for this successful attack. However, he did not immediately offer his reward, but instead planned to wait for Li Hu to give him the corresponding advice.

This victory seemed to have given the Federation a lot of confidence. In the following days, taking advantage of the fact that the Seraphim had not yet fully resurrected, they once again mobilized their forces to attack the Seraphim who were rampaging in the Northern Federation, and also successfully thwarted their progress on other prophecies.

More importantly, that operation not only completely disrupted the progress of the prophecy, but the Federation also took the opportunity to kill the Seraphim who was in charge of the mission at the time. Although this did not have much practical significance in terms of strategy, since Heaven could easily create a replacement for it again, it gave the Federation a lot more confidence.

Even Heaven's main fighting force was unable to resist their combined massive army.

But Maren wasn't happy to hear the news; instead, he sensed something was amiss. Although he didn't know the real reason behind this situation, he immediately notified the Federation.

“Something’s not right now. Don’t kill that Archangel for the time being. Even if you have the chance to kill him, you must let him leave alive. There might be some kind of conspiracy here that could lead to our defeat.”

"I suspect the Cherubim may have ulterior motives."

However, he soon realized that his warning had come too late.

It wasn't that the Federation was arrogant enough to ignore his warning. After receiving Maren's intelligence, although the Federation didn't understand the specifics, it had already decided to act cautiously according to his warning for the time being.

After all, the one who made the suggestion was the King of Gods who had just slain the Throne Angel.

And this does not prevent them from continuing to defy the prophecy of Heaven.

However, a few days later, the Federation observed entirely new Thrones, Seraphim, and equally new Powers throughout the world.

After the Seraphim and Thrones died, the Powers were replaced without their knowledge.

Upon learning of this, both Marne and the Federation's operations department quickly made a judgment—the most likely scenario was that the Cherubim took this opportunity to kill the Virtues and then resurrected them.

Marne realized that his warning might be too late. He had initially suspected that there was some discord between the Thrones and the Cherubim, which led to his death, but now the situation seemed much stranger.

If the Cherubim is not at odds with all the six-winged angels, then he must have some other motive.

Even after the event had occurred, Maen still couldn't figure out the Cherubim's true purpose. After all, it seemed quite illogical, and without any information, he couldn't deduce anything. This was why he couldn't predict what would happen next.

The Federation had the same doubts, so a few days after they became aware of the matter, they quickly organized a secret meeting to discuss it, and naturally they also invited Sera, the King of the Gods.

Inside a secret federal base in the Southern Federation.

“Come with me,” the shadow emerged from the wall and said to Ma En.

Marx and Engels nodded:

"Looks like we've been tricked." Shadow nodded.

"The old folks in the Federation are furious. It's clear the Cherubim have manipulated us, but we still don't know what happened or how to deal with it."

"This situation terrified them."

Marx and Engels answered casually:
"Mortals are always afraid of the distant unknown, yet they are blind to the real dangers that are right in front of them."

The shadow nodded in slight surprise:
"Yes, they are indeed very worried that the Cherubim's actions will silently threaten their lives, so they immediately asked me to arrange this meeting and even invited a distinguished guest whom we did not originally intend to cooperate with."

"However, considering his identity, we still have to be wary and can't really treat him as a friend we can completely trust. Even if he has signed a contract, it doesn't matter. At the very least, we have to treat him as a camera that can be directly connected to the Cherubim."

"are you ready?"

As he spoke, a shadow appeared in front of him and Marne.

Ma En nodded and followed him inside. After a few steps, the white light dispelled the faint shadows behind them, and he arrived at the actual meeting place.

Bright lights illuminated the entire cave, and many mechanical devices were operating everywhere, but what truly surrounded them was not the walls, but some kind of mineral resembling blue crystals.

However, the actual meeting place did not cover the entire cave, but was merely the long table in front of Mar and Eng.

Lin Zhaoheng was already seated at the head of the table, while Kong Shanzhi stood calmly behind her, seemingly relinquishing the position of the host. The invited guests were seated on either side of the long table.

Most of them were familiar faces to Ma En. Sitting to Lin Zhaoheng's left was the Prince of Bliss. This time, he looked much younger than the previous two times, like a handsome boy of sixteen or seventeen, but his bare upper body was covered with various piercings and ornaments.

Moreover, this time he seemed closer to the "messenger" that Marne saw in his dream, but he was still far from being as beautiful as the fairy, which was almost illusory. In addition, he exuded a charming temperament that was completely different from the fairy when he smiled, which made him seem more like a mortal in reality than a messenger.

Sitting next to him was a familiar figure to Ma En, but that's not quite accurate, because he was familiar with the guy's appearance but didn't really know what kind of person he was.

Moreover, he was wearing a very modern suit, and his demeanor was completely different from when they met before. After all, they were not exactly the same person. When he saw Marne, he got up and walked over.

The man extended his hand, offering a polite smile:

"Greetings, King of the Gods. You may have seen other versions of me, but I assure you their actions have absolutely nothing to do with me, because none of us has ever seen you. By the way, my name is Victor."

Mar and Eng did not refuse him; instead, they readily extended their hands to shake his.
"I've heard of you. It's said you existed in the Titan era?"

Victor smiled and said:

“That’s right, I was born in the Titan era, but please don’t misunderstand, I have absolutely no disrespect for the gods. You may not know, but we are not the type to care about others, nor do we care about such trivial matters.”
