I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The Federation training ground.

Maan was leaning against the railing on the second floor, looking down at the Investigation Department members doing their daily training.

After he requested to observe the Federation's training, Kang Shoucheng immediately agreed.

In his opinion, showing Maan the Federation's conventional strength was a good thing.

Power users like Maan, who had one foot in the Federation's camp, had a good chance of actually joining.

Therefore, showing them these non-critical conventional forces could give them a glimpse of the Federation's strength in various aspects.

Moreover, although he didn't quite understand, he could sense that Maan was the kind of power user worth attracting, after all, they had asked him to train them.

"Are you spying on the enemy?" A strange female voice came from behind Maan.

When he turned around, he saw a red-haired girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Her expression was somewhat deliberately cold, but her posture didn't seem as relaxed as her expression, and Maan even had a strange feeling that she might turn around and run away at any moment.

"My name is Lilith," the girl said without waiting for Maan to respond, "Did Shadow tell you about me?"

Then Maan immediately reacted and asked:

"So you know about our conflict with the Federation?"

Lilith smiled:

"You say that as if I'm Alice's second personality.

The Federation's experts also have this misunderstanding about us, but it's normal for you to think that way, you probably won't encounter a being similar to me.

"I'm not her second personality, strictly speaking, I'm a friend she imagined, a little bit of imagination, a little bit of madness, and then adding appropriate reality distortion, and I appeared in this world.

I've been independent since I was born.

"So you're right, I know your affairs very well.

"Shenxiao wants to save the world, and then meets the Federation's great demon king, blah blah blah, and in the end the righteous hero doesn't win, but is imprisoned by the evil demon king.

We can imagine what will happen next.

"But I don't care about your affairs at all, Shenxiao and the Federation are no different to me.

"The Federation and she both tried to heal Alice, but they couldn't possibly succeed, they all misunderstood Alice, she never thought of getting your so-called healing, this is her own choice.

"They don't understand anything."

Maan replied:

"Although I can't be sure of the specific situation, your words seem more convincing to me than the Federation's.

"After all, you are her friend."

Hearing this, Lilith smiled:

"That's right, but the Federation couldn't heal Alice in the first place, and Shenxiao wouldn't do that, so it doesn't matter what they think, after all, they won't affect my and Alice's lives.

"So have you figured out why I appeared?"

Maan said with a puzzled face:

"Why?"

Lilith smiled and said:

"Don't worry, the Federation can't eavesdrop on our conversation.

Alice and I don't have the ability to stop them, but they really don't know that I'm talking to you right now, so I'll just tell you straight, I'm Alice's friend, and her guardian, and also a tool for her to convey her will, I'm better at communicating with you.

"So I'm here to convey the thoughts she can't say, if you don't mind…

"Please don't contact her anymore."

Maan asked:

"Am I a danger to her?"

Lilith said:

"I've encountered thirteen guys in coats in total, not a single one of them was a good person, not only did they all have bad intentions towards Alice, but they could also cause her a lot of harm.

"Normally, I wouldn't bother talking to a coat person like you, but you're also wearing a hat."

Maan asked:

"So that's why you took the initiative to talk to me?"

Lilith nodded:

"And now I feel like you're the kind of person who can communicate with us, so I came to see you and warn you not to have any bad ideas about Alice, and don't think about helping or healing her, she doesn't need any friends other than me, and you can't understand her.

"Believe it or not, unless you have Shenxiao's superb skills, continuing with Alice will only bring misfortune to both you and her."

Maan nodded to this:

"Thank you for your advice, I will be careful to stay away from her."

He didn't completely fail to understand her existence as Lilith said, after all, Serri was a similar being to her, and based on his understanding of Serri, what Lilith told him was likely all true.

Lilith heard Maan's sincere reply and nodded in satisfaction:

"Looks like I didn't find the wrong person."

Maan immediately seized the opportunity to ask:

"Aren't you worried about Alice? Can she handle the upcoming battle?"

Lilith looked at him and said:

"You think she might be in danger?

"No, you're wrong, although Alice only has Tier III ability, it doesn't mean she needs to worry about the dangers of the same tier, even if the Federation wants to do something to her, they have to think twice, they can't afford this price.

"Of course, and with her current ability alone, she is enough to defeat any Tier III ability user, let me put it this way, logically speaking, her strength shouldn't be their so-called Tier III, she can be rated as Tier III because she is a reality warper, reality doesn't make sense on her."

Maan then asked:

"Then do you think the Federation can ultimately win against Atlantis?"

Lilith suddenly reacted a little:

"Are you treating me as some kind of omniscient answering machine?

"I don't know everything, how could I predict the victory or defeat of the Federation and Atlantis?"

Maan said:

"I'm just a little uneasy about this battle, and after all, according to the Federation, it concerns the lives of countless people."

Lilith said:

"You sound like a hat person, I can only guarantee you that Alice's battle will definitely be won, the Federation actually used the loopholes created by the reality warper, if the opponent can only use Tier III ability, there is no possibility of reversing the defeat.

"And Li Hu was also the Federation's capable fighter before Shenxiao came, he is also considered a strong person in the same tier, and the Federation will definitely be able to come up with sufficiently strong equipment and props to help him ensure the victory of this competition, the rest is you.

"I don't know if you can win, but the Federation must have a reason for finding you, and in fact, for this Tier IV battle, the Federation's main bargaining chip is not the participants, but the various anomalous equipment found over the years.

"Even if the participant is Du Jin who lost to you, he will become very strong under the accumulation of their resources, even if the enemy you face is also the top ability user in the same tier, they will be defeated in the face of the Federation's amazing resources, not many organizations can afford to spend like the Federation."

Maan still wanted to ask Lilith something, but the girl's expression suddenly changed, and then she showed a nervous expression like a bad student hearing the teacher's footsteps, looked back and around a few times, and then quickly took half a step back.

"Remember what I said." After leaving these words, she disappeared directly in place.

Maan watched her dissipate, then continued to lean on the railing to observe the training scene below.

After he watched idly for about a minute, the door behind him was pushed open.

Shadow and Kang Shoucheng, who was in charge of the operation, walked in, their expressions were more serious than when Maan saw them a few days ago, and Kang Shoucheng directly opened his mouth the moment he saw Maan:

"We have the latest progress, we and Atlantis have already confirmed the participants, but now the situation is a bit beyond our original expectations, the Tier V and Tier III ability users they sent are all Southern Gods, and Li Hu's opponent is the Sun God.

"The originally sure-win battle is now a bit difficult to say, we think Li Hu's chance of winning is only 30%, and Alice's winning rate has also fallen to 70%, her opponent was once a Tier V God, and Li Hu's opponent, the Sun God, is even more needless to say.

"And your opponent is not some Atlantean, but Ivani, a genius from the Church, the point is that they also have resources that are not much worse than ours, it is difficult for us to directly suppress her simply by stacking external objects."

Shadow continued:

"They have joined forces to deal with us, but in fact, this is not entirely a bad thing for the Federation, these foreign forces have long been eyeing us, they will have to do it sooner or later anyway, at least now they are still competing on the stage we have built."

Maan asked curiously:

"What do you think my winning rate is?"

Shadow paused, then said honestly:

"The data they gave is 50%, but I think it may be slightly higher than that, in fact, this number is not low, Ivani has the dual resources of the Church and Heaven, she is a Blessed One, and can directly summon the power of angels to possess her.

"And the angel paired with her is also top-notch in Tier IV, although due to racial reasons, the angel who gives her power has no possibility of advancing to Tier V, but it is also because of their special race that they have enough strong power.

"And she usually goes out with more than a dozen Church sacred objects, which are relatively strong equipment in Tier IV, and she will definitely bring more things in this battle, your opponent is far more troublesome than we expected."

Kang Shoucheng added:

"Although we have more and stronger anomalous equipment than the Church, the problem is that the Church's sacred objects are especially suitable for their members, while our various equipment are suitable for different users.

"Without accumulation and preparation, it is difficult for us to find a lot of suitable equipment for you."

The purpose of his saying this was mainly to show that the Federation's foundation was stronger than the Church's.

Maan said:

"Is she really that strong?"

Shadow said:

"Du Jin, who you killed, was a disciple of Xiaoyao Taoist, he was able to get to where he is today because he had a Tier V master, but Xiaoyao has more than a dozen other disciples besides him, and their identities are only master and disciple no matter what, Xiaoyao can't completely sincerely pay for him.

"But Ivani is like you, a power user who can get to this point on her own, and she also has a Tier V teacher, that is, Raphael, the Pope who was promoted to Tier V at the age of sixteen, also known as the second human genius of this era, second only to Shenxiao Walker.

"And their relationship is also different from Xiaoyao and Du Jin, although there is no direct evidence, and they have not publicly stated it, the anomalous world has always circulated the rumor that they are actually secret lovers.

"Although it is very outrageous, I have seen them with my own eyes, and I think this is very likely to be true, their appearances are very outstanding, and their ages are similar, and it seems that they have known each other since they were very young, but later they joined different factions.

"The resources he has given to Ivani over the years have also verified this rumor, even if it is not, she is also a young Church genius who is extremely valued by the Pope, that is to say…"

Maan interjected:

"My opponent is a Tier V ability user's lover?"

Kang Shoucheng nodded:

"So although I am a little embarrassed, I still have to make a small request to you on behalf of the Federation, we hope that you can defeat her without killing her.

"We don't care if other ability users die in this kind of struggle, even if the other party is a Tier V Atlantean ability user, it doesn't matter, if those Gods have a way to kill, we won't miss any opportunity.

"But her situation is different, the identity of the Pope's lover is too sensitive, the Pope is a relatively easy-going and communicative person in the entire Church, it would be bad if we pushed him to our opposite side."

Maan nodded:

"It's okay, I'm quite good at not killing people."

Shadow suddenly interjected:

"Don't be so confident, and don't regard her as some gentle good person just because of her secret love affair with the Pope, she may not be holding the mentality of sparring, these believers all have problems with their brains, they can do anything for their faith, they must have also interfered in this matter for this reason.

"And the reason why the Federation doesn't want you to kill her is more complicated than he said, I suspect that some politicians are also secretly worshiping the Holy Church, but these are not important to you, the reason why you can't kill her is simpler.

"Raphael is the kind of guy who will take revenge regardless of political interests."

Maan then said:

"If I can't defeat her without killing her, I will naturally admit defeat before she kills me, you don't have to worry about these."

Although he signed an agreement with the Federation, the conditions were still relatively lenient, after all, the Federation was asking him for help now, and due to his identity as a Tier IV ability user, he also had irreplaceable value, the more important role of this agreement was to let him determine his position.

Because it seems that losing to Atlantis would be a better choice, but the agreement prevented the possibility of him deliberately releasing water, but this actually also conformed to Shenxiao's prediction, what she wanted him to do was not to stop the sea clan, but to thwart the plans of the two gods.

And the Sun God obviously wants Atlantis to win now.

Shadow nodded:

"We won't force you to do anything, even if you lose this time, we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future.

"But now that the opponent has been determined, we should start preparing."
