I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Maen followed Zasna to see the spear named "Sun Chaser". Although they were in a heavily guarded vault at the time, they couldn't really get close to the weapon.

Even from a distance, Maen could feel the extraordinariness of the seemingly rusty spear. Maen could tell with his naked eyes that this thing was definitely a Tier Ⅴ weapon, and he also remembered the way to the vault.

When he was visiting the weapon, Maen felt quite confident that he could snatch it. In other words, even if all his plans in the Titan Ruins failed, in the worst case, he could just steal Sun Chaser and run away.

Of course, Maen didn't plan to just grab a Tier Ⅴ weapon and run, so he didn't say or do anything meaningless while visiting the weapon. Instead, he asked Zasna to learn about the history of the Titans.

After mentioning this request, Zasna took him to the largest floating island of books.

In Ninth City, the Book Island is actually more of a social and entertainment venue, because both flesh and mechanical Titans have other ways to read text and receive and browse information. Most of them implant some kind of mechanical organ like a miniature personal terminal and directly exchange information with the Titan's internal database.

However, although this thing is very similar to a more advanced computer and can theoretically be connected to the Internet, in reality, these Titans do not have the infrastructure like the Internet. This seems to be the same reason why they cannot communicate remotely.

According to Zasna's explanation, this is because many long-distance high-speed information transmissions are hindered. Therefore, the Thirteen Cities still retain the ancient messengers. For some reasons that she couldn't easily explain, it seems that information carried by all living beings is not affected by this, so they still retain the messenger profession.

That's why, for them, that kind of implanted organ is more like an information storage device. Titans are not like humans today who have networked devices like mobile phones, so the library can still exist as a social and entertainment venue. After all, some Titans still want to read with their own eyes.

However, it is completely different in those cities dominated by mechanical Titans, because for mechanical Titans, implanting a personal terminal is as simple as drinking water, so almost every mechanical Titan will implant a personal terminal.

In the past few days, he has also read a lot of books, and his understanding of ancient Titan civilization has finally barely caught up with what he originally knew, and he also has a sufficient understanding of the post-Titan civilization composed of mechanical and flesh Titans.

The Titan history recorded in the books is also clearer the closer it is to the present. The information on the ancient Titan civilization and the early post-Titan civilization is relatively vague, but it may be different from the situation on land. Maen can vaguely perceive that the clearer history is not because the past history has been lost, but because they are deliberately covering up something.

According to these books and the information he learned before, Maen can also figure out a basic historical line. The original Thirteen Kings woke up a long time ago, and then they seemed to have experienced a particularly chaotic era. It roughly mentioned that the Thirteen Kings created the current flesh and mechanical Titans through ancient facilities. Then there seemed to be various internal and external wars, and then something major happened.

This incident directly caused the Thirteen Kings to fall into slumber again until they reawakened a thousand years ago, re-established the current Titan civilization, and slowly formed the situation Maen sees today.

In fact, nothing particularly important has happened in the past thousand years, so after sorting these things out, Maen once again plunged into those books that recorded more distant eras, and then tried to find useful things.

And he really found something.

Maen, who was sitting and reading attentively, put down the thick ancient book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zasna, who was seemingly "accompanying" him in reading on the opposite side, but was actually looking at him.

After noticing Maen's gaze, Zasna immediately put down the book and looked at him.

Maen showed a curious look:

"This book mentions that a long time ago, gods also betrayed their own kind. Is this true?"

Similar questions had been asked countless times in the past two days, so Zasna didn't have any doubts because Maen asked about this, but regarded it as an extremely ordinary question.

"It is indeed surprising, isn't it?" Zasna said, "You must find it hard to imagine that there would be gods who would betray their compatriots to help us. You think so because the gods are like this now.

"But in fact, the cause and effect here is reversed, because the reason why the gods are like this now is precisely because those righteous and kind gods died in battle a long time ago.

"It was that ancient war that wiped out the last of the goodness and justice in the gods."

Maen said in surprise:

"In that case, the ancient Titans should have been the extremely righteous side in that war."

Although many wars have no justice to speak of, if it was really a war where both sides were equally right and wrong, those kind and righteous gods could not have betrayed their compatriots to help humans.

Zasna nodded slightly:

"Yes, these ancient gods were extremely great and admirable heroes."

Hearing this, Maen's expression also became a little low:

"So, if I understand correctly, they all died?"

There seemed to be a faint sadness flowing in Zasna's eyes, but it disappeared almost instantly, making Maen, who was sitting opposite her, a little suspicious of whether he had seen it wrong.

"Yes," she replied with a normal expression, "If it weren't for the sacrifice of these gods, the war of the past would not have been won. They deserved to live more than other gods.

"But for the sake of mankind, they voluntarily gave up eternal life."

Maen blinked:

"These gods betrayed their own kind for the sake of goodness and justice, and sacrificed their lives. I don't think most humans and Titans can do the same thing now, but your mother cares, right?"

Zasna nodded:

"That's right, my mother is the kind of person who can also put love and sympathy into other races. Many of her compatriots think this is an extremely stupid thing, but I disagree.

"She thinks that the gap between our two races is not that big. We don't need to regard each other as completely different races. The difference between me and you is like the different skin colors of humans—it's just that they look a little different at first glance, but we all have almost the same consciousness structure. Yes, our consciousness does have differences.

"But are the consciousnesses between people completely the same? She thinks that the difference in consciousness between people and Titans is not essentially different from the difference in consciousness between people. If she loves her compatriots…

"Then she should love races that are almost the same as her compatriots."
