Chapter 559 557. The Eye of Manadjiton (Double Update!)

After listening to Zhasna's words, Mann thought for a moment and continued:

"You're right, the most important thing is naturally to stop the Titans' plan against humanity, but I also need to give the Federation an explanation in time. It's not that I want to immediately attack the gods, but I have to give them something.

"You may not understand, although the Federation is a positive force when facing external enemies, it often acts like the biggest villain when dealing with internal human issues. It is a complex, giant living thing that lacks humanity.

"And this organization is also quite suspicious. Combined with the fact that I have deceived them in the past, and the fact that Shenxiao herself is a very sensitive matter to the Federation, if we just keep them hanging, I estimate that this organization may deepen its suspicion of us, and may even hinder our future real cooperation."

After hearing this, Zhasna noticed a detail:

"You had conflicts with them before?"

Mann nodded:

"As I said, the Federation is a very complex and cold giant entity, so everyone may have various conflicts and collaborations with this behemoth at the same time. A typical example should be Shenxiao.

"She has both confrontation and cooperation with the Federation at the same time, and during the most intense period of her confrontation with the Federation, my relationship with the Federation as her follower was not good. In fact, strictly speaking, this doesn't even count as a conflict between us.

"The Federation just wanted to weaken Shenxiao at the time, so it directly launched a massacre against all the members of the Salvation Alliance, and I, who had just joined for a few days, was also listed on this list.

"And at that time, I didn't fully expose my strength. At that time, I was already a member of the Secret Alliance before I was a member of the Salvation Alliance, so I was just curious to contact Shenxiao at that time.

"Perhaps because of this, the Federation at that time did not consider sparing my life at all, and I, who was chased to the point of desperation, could only kill a few members of the Federation and escape, and then our feud was completely settled.

"After that, I also solved many members of the Federation, and thwarted several of their conspiracies, and thanks to the efforts of Salvation Alliance members around the world, the Federation finally decided to solve us in a more gentle way.

"This is also one of the reasons why the relationship between Shenxiao and the Federation has eased a lot now.

"And after that, my relationship with the Federation has become complicated. We have both cooperation and confrontation. Recently, we had an extremely fierce confrontation, but it ended peacefully in the end.

"But no matter what conflicts we have had in the past, as long as you can give enough chips, the Federation will be willing to sit down and talk to you, provided that you don't give it the opportunity to directly eat you."

The purpose of Mann's long speech was of course not a whim. The purpose of him showing Zhasna his current situation was to tell her the necessity of continuing to cooperate deeply with the Federation, so that he could have an excuse to take away more weapons against the gods.

Because his relationship with Zhasna is very similar to his relationship with the Federation in the past—both are based on lies. Although Mann always feels that he is not a particularly lying person, he has always been lying in various aspects since he left the Viktor Sanatorium.

When he met the East New State Coordination Bureau led by Qin Lan, he hid his strength. It seemed that he had the instinct to cover up his tracks when he had just woken up. After that, he often lied in various official matters, some because of the secrets he possessed, and some lies were more like a habit.

Only in very few private matters would he try not to lie as much as possible, but instead communicate sincerely or use the method of concealing part of the facts, but in that case, he would not conceal as much as possible if he could.

This seems to indicate that he doesn't want to lie about everything in his bones, but the number of times he has lied since he left the sanatorium has indeed increased a little. For example, this time he came to Zhasna, he fabricated a lie about Shenxiao being able to deal with the gods, which led to him having to find a way to fabricate new lies.

However, he didn't think about these things in any reflection. Facts have proved that lying like this is indeed very useful, and Mann has no intention of changing at all. He just suddenly thought of something...

Could his "habit" have been developed as early as the memory collapse? All the current situations are very consistent with his guess, but if this is the case, it means that the past self would often use lies to obtain convenience in various official matters, and what shaped that self?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and in reality, Mann immediately continued:

"So no matter what, we have to think of an excuse to hold back the Federation, at least when they agree to cooperate with us, we have to give an answer immediately, instead of being silent like we are fabricating a lie."

Hearing this, Zhasna also nodded slightly:

"You're right, then let's do this, you can first discuss the solar eclipse with the Federation. We will not expose the existence of the solar eclipse to the gods for the time being, but if we want to do it quickly by then, I think the Federation must also make preparations in advance."

Hearing this, Mann nodded, and then said without concealment:

"Okay, then there's only one thing left.

"What if the Federation wants to see other weapons against the gods by then? The way I told the Federation is that we hold a lot of weapons. If we always only show this one, they may become suspicious."

This sentence matches Mann's description of the Federation's suspicion just now. Of course, he said this because he wanted to "deceive" more weapons against the gods. As long as these weapons are enough, he can abandon the current "Shenxiao lie" and replace it with a lie that is closer to the truth and more convenient.

Hearing this, Zhasna was not as suspicious as the Federation:

"The strongest weapon against Seraine must be obtained through a meeting, but during this time I also met several other Titan Kings, and one Titan King specially brought me a gift."

In fact, even if Mann didn't ask, Zhasna planned to take this opportunity to hand over this weapon to Mann. After Mann brought back the Federation's Golden Oath, she completely trusted Mann in this matter.

The degree of trust was enough for her to hand over another precious Tier V anomaly weapon to Mann.

As she spoke, a Void Swallowing Python drilled out of the space around them again, and then dropped a heavy metal box again, and the box automatically opened its door the moment it fell.

It also revealed the weapon against the gods inside.

It was an extremely exquisite decorative metal instrument. At first glance, it was a complex shape composed of countless complex patterns and tiny graphics, but when Mann withdrew his gaze and looked back...

He saw an eye.

"This is not a weapon against Seraine," Zhasna said, "but it is an incredibly powerful weapon when dealing with other gods, and the reason why it can't deal with Seraine is also very simple.

"It's called the Eye of Truth, also known as the Eye of Manadjiton, just like its name...

"It can pull those gods towards the true facts. Darkness can no longer cause fear, fire no longer means anger deep in the heart, and thunder is not some mysterious divine power, but unfortunately...

"The sun is still the sun."
