I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

When Mann followed the Ninth King out of the Tower of Slumber, all the Titans cast incredulous gazes. Although they had worried Zasna was the Ninth King while outside, seeing it with their own eyes felt completely unexpected.

What followed was no surprise. The Ninth King reassumed control of the city, and Carlett and his disloyal confidants were all imprisoned. Most were sentenced to life imprisonment by the Ninth King herself, including Carlett. It was even said that the Ninth King subjected him to many uniquely Titan punishments.

It seemed that even Carlett’s personal relationship with the Ninth King could only save his life at this point.

This made Mann’s impression of the Ninth King even clearer. When he first heard Carlett talk about his relationship with the Ninth King, Mann felt that he wouldn’t bear any punishment. Later, he dared to betray the Ninth King directly, leading Mann to believe he had some special backing. Now it seemed he was either taking a risk…

… or he had misjudged the Ninth King’s reaction.

After this, the Ninth King temporarily arranged for him to stay in a place that seemed more free. There were some guards around, but although they were called guards, they didn’t act like they wouldn’t talk to him like before. Instead, they were very respectful, answering almost any question.

Even questions they were unsure about were taken to the Ninth King, and then brought back from the Ninth King, who was busy reorganizing the city. Mann also inquired about various pieces of information from them.

Although the Ninth King was more cautious than Mann initially thought, this was actually good news. After all, although his purpose was to obtain weapons against the gods, deception was only a last resort.

After Mann learned that the leak was orchestrated by the Ninth King, he basically abandoned the idea of stealing the weapons against the gods. This Ninth King was a good collaborator, not to mention that he had now completely gained the Ninth King’s trust—that leak was obviously a test for everyone.

And he was one of the few who passed the test.

Mann stayed in the place arranged by the Ninth King, chatting with the guards who came and went about the changes in the city, patiently waiting for the Ninth King to find time.

After half a month, there was finally a knock on the door.

Mann got up and opened the door. The guards who had been standing outside had all disappeared without a trace. Standing before him was a beautiful woman in casual clothes. She didn’t exude any aura of leadership, and Mann couldn’t sense the power of a Rank V, as if she were just an ordinary person.

But on second thought, it was normal, since she had been hiding as Zasna for so long.

Seeing her, Mann said:

“Ninth King…”

“Just call me Zasna. It feels strange for a human like you to call me Ninth King,” the female Titan interrupted. “Although they don’t know it, that’s actually my real name. Every time my consciousness is reborn, I give myself a new name to distinguish myself from my mother and the past Ninth Kings.”

Mann nodded:

“So what are we going to do next? You already know the mastermind, so are we going to start wooing the other Titan Kings and show them me, this human?”

Zasna smiled:

“You’re right, but it’s me who will be wooing the other Titan Kings. They already know about you, this human, so it doesn’t matter if you go or not. Besides, you have more important things to do.”

Then she took out a silver arm guard from her bosom and handed it to Mann.

Mann looked at it and asked:

“This is?”

Zasna explained:

“First of all, this thing also has the function of suppressing the invasion of the gods, but it won’t affect your abilities. Instead, it has the function of teleportation, allowing you to teleport between the Federation and the Titan lands.”

Mann’s eyes lit up, as if he really wanted to leave this place:

“You mean this can take me away from here?”

Zasna nodded:

“If you want to leave just like that, you can. I can set it to self-destruct after you leave. But if you’re willing to do me a few small favors first, you can use it to travel back and forth here.

“Of course, before you leave, we have to sign the Golden Oath, which will bind you from leaking important information about the Titan civilization, even if someone tries to force you to.”

If Mann were a spy from some organization, he would be troubled by this Golden Oath, unable to report information to his superiors. Fortunately, he wasn’t a member of any organization, but their leader.

He didn’t need his subordinates to know what he was doing.

Mann nodded:

“Okay, but what is this Golden Oath?”

Zasna showed a look of reminiscence:

“Swear to the Gold, let the Gold witness. This is a contract researched by the Titan humans. Do you no longer use it? Or do you no longer truly understand Gold?”

Mann asked purely out of curiosity:

“What Gold?”

“Just Gold,” Zasna said. “It seems you don’t know the secrets of Gold. It’s hard to explain to you. Let’s finish talking about the important things first.

“Are you willing to help us, and what kind of reward do you want?”

Mann asked:

“What do you want me to do?”

Zasna said:

“First of all, we need evidence that can prove the power of the Divine Firmament. I’m not talking about videos, but solid evidence. In my memory, there are many abnormal items in the world that can be used as evidence. I believe you can bring them out.

“Next, we may need you to help us contact the Federation and the Divine Firmament. Of course, you can’t reveal too much information in the process, so this will be difficult. If you can’t do it then, we can discuss other options. As for your reward…”

She took out a book from her bosom and handed it to Mann:

“You can pick anything you like from here. You can take anything you like.”

Mann reached out and flipped through the book, and was really attracted by many things in it. It wasn’t that the things inside were so powerful, but that many of them could do things that the Federation couldn’t imagine.

After all, the Titan civilization from which these technologies originated had long surpassed Rank V. Many technologies would seem a little unbelievable to the Federation people, who were still stuck at Rank V. And he quickly noticed some special things.

Some things that could turn his lies into reality.

“These life extension techniques…” Mann raised his head curiously and asked, “Are they also useful to us humans?”

“Are you worried that these are only useful to flesh and mechanical Titans?” Zasna smiled. “You may not have remembered that these technologies all originated from the most prosperous Titan period. What we now use on flesh and mechanical Titans are just special versions of those technologies. In that era, even the most ordinary humans could live for three hundred years.

“I assure you as an ancient Titan biologist that this is useful to any human.”
