I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The moment Maen and Shadow left the ritual, all the blood forming the array on the ground burst into flames. Then, in the darkness, it echoed with distant parts, instantly forming a black boundary that enveloped the two still within.

But before the sacrificial ritual took effect and dealt with Hong Yuan, he tapped the ground in front of him with his staff, gazing distantly at Maen, who had already left the ritual's range, his eyes filled with intense hatred and murderous intent.

Then he raised his strangely shaped staff.

An imperceptible force swept across the clearing like a breeze, and the surrounding reality began to twist and change with Hong Yuan's will. The burning hellfire quickly extinguished on the spot, and the red blood on the ground slowly receded.

The Great Devil Controller floating in the air also showed surprise, then looked at Shadow and Maen in the distance with a playful expression.

His figure was also slowly fading.

The dissolution of the ritual was just the beginning. After the Controller was completely banished back to hell, the world around them began to change. Wang Yin and the other members of the Salvation Alliance all initially thought it was an illusion.

But Shadow and Maen could clearly feel that what they saw was real.

Cracks symbolizing dryness slowly appeared in the ground beneath their feet, and the trees along the road decayed and rotted as if they had lived a lifetime in an instant. The corpses, already turned into minced meat, emitted a strange and disgusting odor.

The distant night sky was slowly stained with a dim blood color, and a black new sun, bathed in blood light, gradually emerged. The original stars began to cluster around it again, and these stars burst out with a dazzling light far exceeding usual.

Then a golden ray of light tore through the clouds, and countless white creatures, resembling both humans and birds, poured out, circling in the high sky like vultures. Lava涌ed from the dry and cracked ground in the distance, and short, hideous black monsters crawled out, all chattering noisily and jumping in place to “dance” erratically.

Behind the distant mountains, a magnificent city appeared like a mirage. This city, clearly full of life, was advancing towards them at a slow but steady pace, and above it, in the clouds, floated solemn buildings of completely different styles.

“This isn't some illusion of the mind dimension,” Shadow said seriously to Maen beside him. “This is the reality created by Hong Yuan. If this were an illusion, I could definitely dispel it.”

The body of the Sun Child burning beside Hong Yuan also underwent subtle changes. The flames on his body had a hint of dark red, seemingly influenced by the black and red new sun in the distant sky.

Wang Yin, who had originally felt uncomfortable in the sunlight, felt much more relaxed, as if the sunlight, which was originally the bane of evil creatures, could no longer pose any threat to her. The girl even felt a long-lost warmth when illuminated by it.

The remaining surviving members of the Salvation Alliance and the Investigation Department staff felt quite uncomfortable and nauseous, as if being in this place would cause their bodies to instinctively reject and resist it, and the world that constituted the scene in their eyes also carried a meaning that violated the laws of nature.

“Welcome to the end,” Hong Yuan said with a smile, looking at Maen and Shadow in the distance. Now there was no ritual between them. “It seems the high wall you built has collapsed.”

The time and location were accurate enough, and what he was doing at this time had met all the conditions. Therefore, the power of the Divine Firmament Walker remaining in the Southern Federation was plundered by him and transformed into the power form of another reality warper.

The creator of hell.

Hong Yuan told Shang Mingxin that he must kill Maen. Although what he said at the time was also correct, the person who heard this sentence couldn't understand the deep meaning. In fact, he had never thought of seeking revenge on Maen.

But he had to think that way in order to make good use of the power of the hell creator.

He wanted to kill Maen because Maen killed him.

This sentence meant that Maen killing him satisfied the conditions for him to use this power.

And after the Divine Firmament was defeated, he had been waiting for this moment. What the Federation didn't know was that the power of the Divine Firmament still permeated this world, shaping reality in her own unique way, and Hong Yuan had been looking for the right place.

The place with the most Divine Firmament power—this wasn't a fixed geographical location or time. For example, this time the power depended on when Maen and the Federation would stop negotiating. At this time and in this place, her power reached its highest boiling point.

His hatred and anger towards Maen after his death, coupled with the power from the Divine Firmament, jointly created this beautiful doomsday scene.

But speaking of which, although Hong Yuan hadn't originally intended to take revenge on Maen, he was actually quite happy that Maen was just in his way. If there was a chance to kill Maen “incidentally,” of course, it would be the best.

And as he told Shang Mingxin, if Maen really managed to escape from here, Hong Yuan felt that he wouldn't particularly waste time dealing with Maen now.

After all, his destination was “this time and this moment,” and Maen and the others were just shortcuts to get there.

The people opposite Hong Yuan also fell into a brief silence. The members of the Salvation Alliance had tried to resist the arrogant Hong Yuan at the banquet, but only three of these seven people could cope with his chaotic space relatively well, and they couldn't organize an effective counterattack in a short time.

What's more, Hong Yuan had now created this scene.

The only ones who still retained enough combat power were Shadow, Wang Yin, Maen, and Feng Shaoying, who had just been brought nearby.

The first to react among these four was Shadow.

He just looked into Hong Yuan's eyes.

The moment they made eye contact, the doomsday scene around them slowly dissipated as if fading, and in just a few seconds, it turned back to its original normal appearance in everyone's eyes.

Shadow didn't know what Hong Yuan could do with this scene, but erasing it was definitely the right thing to do.

However, Maen, who also possessed mental abilities, could sense that the normal scene they were seeing now was fake. In reality, he could smell sulfur where he was standing, and his body instinctively felt uncomfortable.

But Hong Yuan didn't have mental abilities.

It was enough as long as he believed it.

“Interesting,” Hong Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. “Obviously, you can't really reverse the doomsday world I created, so this must be some kind of mental ability. I have to praise your level.

“But unfortunately, you still can't deceive me.”

Shadow said calmly:

“It's useless even if you realize it. I just need to deceive your body.”

The purpose of this sentence was also to strengthen the suggestion.

Hong Yuan was indeed incredibly strong as a reality warper, but Shadow was still a Tier V ability user after all.

In a one-on-one fight, he couldn't lose to any lower-tier ability user.

“You're right,” Hong Yuan didn't waver in the face of the pressure Shadow applied, but instead said with approval, “If it were the past me, I would have already lost, because I was so arrogant that I wouldn't seek any help, even if it was easy for me.

“But I brought the sun.”

The moment the words fell, the burning Sun Child took half a step forward.

Then this young man began to expand rapidly like undergoing a fusion reaction, instantly turning into a miniature star and scattering deadly heat towards Maen and Shadow.

At the same time, in an instant, space was shifted by Hong Yuan's will.

Maen and Shadow simultaneously appeared within ten meters of the miniature star. The heatwave could completely engulf them in just half a second. The other members of the Salvation Alliance who witnessed this scene all thought that the two of them would die there in the next moment.

Although Wang Yin knew that Shadow could handle this move, she still thought that Maen would undoubtedly die in it.

[I've got it]

But Maen hadn't attacked just now because he was waiting.

Just as Feng Shaoying's message came, he and Shadow jumped back to the position outside the ritual, putting enough distance between them and the scorching star, and they both regained enough time to respond.

Hong Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It was the same at the banquet last time. Maen seemed to be able to break his chaotic space, so this time Hong Yuan didn't try to cut Maen into minced meat with complex space first, but now, according to his observation…

It didn't seem to be Maen who did it.

Even though they had regained their distance, heat and light were still steadily advancing towards them, engulfing and eroding every inch of space between them. They weren't really in a normal outdoor environment now.

They were now in the space created by Hong Yuan, so as long as there was enough time, the heatwave would definitely kill them.

Hong Yuan stood in place, resisting Shadow's somewhat loosening intrusion, while shouting to Maen in the distance:

“Actually, you've already defeated me, so I feel like I'm cheating a bit.

“So out of kindness, I still advise you to give up struggling early. This Sun Child received his magical blessing before coming. You have no way to deal with the two of us. As long as you admit defeat, I'll let you die cleanly.

“This is my 'reward' for you killing me once.”

Maen ignored him and retreated into the shadow dimension.

The moment he left reality, the scene in front of him instantly turned into that doomsday scene again. Shadow's deception of his senses couldn't take effect in the shadow dimension, and he inexplicably felt that the stars in the night sky seemed to be much brighter than just now.

But he didn't have time to observe the scenery here. He immediately went to the location Feng Shaoying had sent.

In Hong Yuan's eyes, Maen appeared in front of him almost in an instant.

Then he felt a sense of dizziness as if his head had been hit by a hammer. After he reacted, Maen's arm had already pierced through his chest and pierced his heart.

But Hong Yuan smiled at Maen instead:

“You want to kill me here?”

His tone carried a hint of deliberate disbelief.

At the same time, his will spread along Maen's arm and immediately covered Maen's entire body, then operated with an irreversibly complex degree.

Hong Yuan tilted his body slightly, then moved Maen slightly as well.

Then Maen's body turned into several puddles of minced meat and appeared in different locations.

Hong Yuan had begun to study Maen's situation when he was defeated.

At that time, Maen had also remained motionless when facing his last attack at the banquet, so Hong Yuan deduced that Maen had no way to cope with this degree of spatial change, and the facts proved that this idea was correct.

What a pity, but Maen had also killed him once.

This could be written on his epitaph.

Thinking this way, Hong Yuan raised his hand to cover his chest, trying to prevent his vitality from flowing away at high speed, but this action was of no use. What he had just said to Maen could actually be said to be bluffing. Maen's attack was enough to be fatal to him.

Provided that Shadow could still maintain this illusion.

He looked into the distance. At this time, the blazing sun had engulfed Shadow in the heatwave, but that black color hadn't dissipated, but was stubbornly fighting against it.

Seeming to feel his gaze, the blazing sun briefly erupted with a light several times stronger than before.

And the illusion in front of him briefly distorted for a moment.

But after the illusion stabilized again, the injury on his chest had disappeared.

But in the instant after the star erupted, Shadow seemed to seize the opportunity to merge into the heat and light, swimming rapidly towards the star like a fish swimming against the current, and suddenly drilled into it.

Seeing this, Hong Yuan raised his leg, wanting to join forces with the Sun Child to end Shadow…

But at the same time, he suddenly noticed that Maen's minced meat had also disappeared.

[Flesh Control IV, Shadow Walker IV, Telepathy IV]

Boom!

Hong Yuan staggered forward a few steps, swaying and almost fell down.

He felt as if the back of his head had been hit hard, and it was accompanied by a strange sense of overlap.

In fact, Maen did give Hong Yuan a heavy blow in both the material world and the mental dimension at the same time.

“I also brought Shadow,” Maen whispered behind Hong Yuan.

This sentence was a response to Hong Yuan's provocation just now, telling him to give up struggling and wait for death, and when these two words appeared, Hong Yuan's mind was obviously greatly affected, revealing a few flaws in the shaking.

Maen immediately launched an attack on Hong Yuan, trying to imprison his soul.

Unfortunately, Shadow didn't seize this opportunity.

Because he in the distance had turned into several black spots on the miniature star, doing his best to fight against this Sun Child. Obviously, the Sun Child restrained his mind, so that he could no longer restrain the illusions of the outside world.

As the doomsday scene reappeared, Hong Yuan, who had been mentally attacked, immediately stood firm.

He shrugged at Maen, with a smug smile on his face:

“You almost killed me again.

“But I'm sorry, I'm a reality warper.”
