I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

"I think all three of them are pretty good," Mann said, "Let's try them out in a training ground after we've seen the rest."

The Shadow nodded:

"The things we've picked out aren't actually that many. The two items just now can be considered accessories, and these three armors are the main equipment to enhance your overall combat power and provide defensive capabilities. Naturally, only your main weapon can compare to their importance.

"Considering that you might choose different armors, we've prepared two weapons for you. You can take them both, and then you can pick a few more from the other anomalous entities to take with you. Your initial preparations will be almost complete.

"After all, you weren't an ability user cultivated by our Federation, and we can't find equipment that's particularly suitable for you in a short time. These are the essential equipment, and only you know whether the other hundred or so are suitable."

However, this is also related to Mann's sensitive identity. If it weren't for the fact that he had followed Shenxiao and signed a truce agreement with the Federation, the Federation could have signed a confidentiality agreement with him to reveal those secret weapons that cannot be known to the world.

But even so, there might not be much improvement, and the Shadow didn't think Mann would want to sign that demanding confidentiality agreement.

He led Mann a few steps forward to a blue gemstone suspended in a glass cabinet.

"This is the Tear of the Siren," the Shadow introduced. "A corrosive mental poison that can be used to break down mental resistance. I specifically chose it to counter Ivanna's mental defense artifact. If you choose the final mental enhancement armor, you can use it to slowly destroy Ivanna's mental defenses, and then delve into her mind to subdue her."

The moment Mann turned his gaze to the sapphire, it suddenly began to melt slowly, then turned into a flowing, luminous blue liquid in a few short seconds, constantly moving within the glass cabinet, as if trying to break free.

"Looks like it likes you," the Shadow said. "It's not easy to make a siren cry. The story behind this gem is very poignant, but its origins are not as grand as the armors you just saw, and there's nothing special you need to pay attention to.

"I've reset it to a state of having no owner. You just need to make mental contact with it."

Mann lightly touched the Tear of the Siren with his mind, feeling a slight coolness. Then the Shadow raised his hand and opened the glass cabinet, and the blue liquid immediately flowed along Mann's mind and seeped into his skin.

He could clearly feel the tear flowing under his skin, but this touch had a kind of ethereal feeling, allowing him to vaguely feel that this tear had no physical entity, existing only as a pure mental state.

The Shadow continued to introduce:

"You only need to touch Ivanna with it during battle to precisely disintegrate all mental defenses and resistances brought by external objects without her noticing.

"But it can't directly cause any harm to her mind.

"However, even without the protection of the artifact, she is still very powerful in her mind as a student of divine arts and an inquisitor, and can be said to be the strongest that a non-telepath can achieve, and she also has the protection of angels, so if you don't use that mental enhancement armor, you may not be able to win with mental abilities alone.

"Moreover, the Tear of the Siren is good at concealment, and it takes some time to take effect, but I think with your level, it's more than enough to hold on until the eye disintegrates the defensive capabilities, which is why I chose them.

"After all, it's more reasonable to attack the opponent's 'weaknesses'."

Mann then asked:

"What's the second weapon?"

When the Shadow heard this, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, as if he was reluctant to take Mann to see that weapon:

"The last weapon was jointly selected by Li Hu and Zhao Guanwu. They think this thing is very suitable for this battle, but I actually have some other concerns, but since they have chosen it, I can only take you to see it."

The last weapon was not far from them, a long spear lying horizontally.

"This Saint-Slaying Spear was specially forged to deal with clergy and angels. It can continuously dissolve approaching divine power from heaven, and can even directly annihilate divine arts of Tier III and below. It can also form an effective countermeasure against divine arts of Tier IV.

"At the same time, it can erode the defenses of heavenly power, tear apart the protective divine arts maintained by heavenly power, and directly burn the strong bodies of angels and inquisitors. Moreover, it has no other characteristics, but it is itself the sharpest and hardest Tier IV weapon.

"As long as it is in the hands of an outstanding spear user, this weapon will directly turn into the nightmare of angels. Such a person can also exert the power of Tier IV limit when using this spear against enemies of non-heavenly factions. In fact, it was forged for this kind of person.

"And when dealing with heavenly creatures, it can exert twice the power of normal situations.

"But as far as I know, you don't seem to be good at using weapons, at least not to that miraculous level, so I'm afraid its sharpness and hardness won't be that important to you, but its restraint against angels is already strong enough.

"To be honest, it's a bit too strong in this battle."

Mann nodded slightly:

"I never expected that you would have such a powerful weapon specially made to deal with angels and the church. It's a pity that I don't have the talent you mentioned, otherwise maybe I could completely secure victory with this thing alone."

Mann also noticed that although this weapon, like the Hell Armor, was specifically designed to restrain angels, it did not have any traces of demonic creation. Not only was there nothing disgusting or repulsive, but it even gave him a more sacred feeling than the so-called heavenly creations.

The Shadow said:

"Alright, let's take them to the training ground to try them out."

Mann raised his head in surprise, looking at him and asking curiously:

"Aren't you going to tell me its story?"

The Shadow paused, then said:

"I thought you were the kind of young man who only cares about practical use?"

Mann asked calmly:

"I'm only particularly interested in the story behind it."

He really wanted to know the origin of this spear.

Seeing that he was still insistent, the Shadow sighed helplessly:

"Okay, then I'll tell you about its origin.

"Unlike most of the items you've seen, this spear was actually forged a few years ago, and it can actually be said to belong to us. Let's put it this way, a few years ago...

"We once considered completely destroying the church and had a plan targeting them, and the Federation member who initiated and led this plan personally forged this experimental weapon specifically for dealing with heaven. In fact, this is just a simplified version of the final product.

"We originally planned to forge a Tier V version of the Saint-Slaying Spear, and a matching anti-heaven Tier V armor had already been put into research and production, as well as various scattered anti-heaven weapons and equipment in our plan.

"But this plan was shelved before it was successful, because some smart and敏锐 politicians in the Federation realized that the leader of this plan had fabricated many lies to convince the Federation that doing so would be more beneficial to maintaining human rule, but in fact the leader just wanted to satisfy his own selfish desires. Eventually, the leader entered the Federation's investigation list.

"I think you may have guessed that Shenxiao, who proposed and led this plan and planned to carry a special spear to kill heaven, is now waiting in the real stable prison. It was after that that the Federation completely realized what she wanted to do.

"The worst thing is that we discovered that she put her own interests above the Federation."

Originally, the Shadow should have followed up with "The Federation's purpose is to ensure the rule of mankind," but it might not be particularly appropriate to say this when the person being compared is Shenxiao.

Mann said with a curious expression:

"She once planned to destroy heaven with you?"

The Shadow nodded:

"If everything went well, we would probably be able to launch a full-scale attack on heaven within fifty years, and quickly disintegrate this ancient force under Shenxiao's leadership, but we were still quite confident in Shenxiao's judgment when we did this.

"No one expected that the young Shenxiao would deceive the entire Federation, and even now when asked, she would claim that she didn't lie, and that heaven might threaten the Federation's rule in just a few hundred years, but we eventually realized the truth hidden behind her lies.

"Her purpose is to eliminate the powerful reality warpers who could pose a threat to her—the destined returnees."

Mann asked in confusion:

"It doesn't seem to conflict to me."

The Shadow said with a smile:

"The story I'm telling you is a version that has been simplified countless times. Even I can't freely say many crucial inner details. If you are willing to sign a very binding contract with us to join the Federation, I can apply for you to have the right to know about this matter.

"But all in all, the situation is more complicated than you think. Shenxiao also has many faces that you haven't seen, and it's difficult for low-level ability users like you to understand our many views and judgments about her. I'm only telling you these things because I see you getting closer and closer to us.

"You have a long time to slowly understand her."

Mann said perfunctorily with a serious expression:

"I understand."

The Shadow reached out and took out the Holy Spear, handing it over.

And Mann directly "stuffed" it into his arms in front of him.

/

The spear forged by Shenxiao to fight against the destined returnees. In the flames and hammering, she left her power in the spear, and through its distribution in the spear, formed several "cracks" that even she could not understand, which could only be decoded and read in a specific way.

When the eve of his return comes, raise the real spear.

It will guide your way forward.

"Then let's go to the training ground to try it out," Mann said to the Shadow.

The Shadow nodded and said to Kang Shouxing:

"Take those armors away, let's go to the training ground to try them out."

Then Mann left here with him, and then went to a particularly secret and solemn training ground along the corridor, which was not at the same level as the one Mann had just stayed in.

Kang Shouxing also immediately arranged for several Federation employees to push in the three armors.

"Which one do you want to try first?" the Shadow asked.

"Hell Armor," he replied.

The Hell Armor placed on the training ground seemed to be able to hear his words, and actively opened outward, revealing enough space for one person to pass through.

Then Mann walked directly in.

When Mann was in this somewhat sticky armor, he could feel some soft structures inside the armor gently "stroking" his body, and at the same time he could feel several souls vaguely establishing contact with him.

The silver-white sharp wings folded flexibly behind him. Mann could feel that the souls of the four angels had faintly turned into bodies and seeped into his back, and formed a link with his spine, which also made him instinctively uncomfortable and disgusted.

If there wasn't a truce treaty with the Federation, he might have started to wonder what harm this armor would cause to the user.

Mann flapped his wings slightly in the storage room and quickly flew upward.

He could feel that his body's strength and speed had been enhanced. The speed might have reached the level of Ⅳ-4, and the attack ability was likely to be close to the level of Ⅳ-5 with the blessing of the four pairs of beautiful wings.

Moreover, the armor's defense is estimated to be Ⅳ-5, but compared to these two, it is not so important.

After trying it out, Mann felt that this armor was indeed very strong, and those four pairs of wings would definitely perform exceptionally well when dealing with angels. However, its design was indeed, as Shadow said, a bit provocative.

If the other two were only slightly weaker than this one, he might be more inclined towards them.
