I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

"Does this have something to do with your God?" Mann asked curiously.

Raphael nodded:

"That's right. You should have heard of the prophecies of the destined returner. These prophecies do have the terrifying power you imagine, and they do concern whether he can return to this world he created.

"Although the prophecies of the destined returner don't mention the life or death and existence of these gods, in fact, the theological community generally agrees that putting these gods to sleep is one of the prophecies we need to fulfill.

"Because although he didn't mention these gods, his silence is deafening.

"He didn't mention the gods because the gods simply don't exist."

The destined returner is the only God.

And to make this a reality, they have to put all the gods to sleep.

Mann also understood what he meant:

"So you actually hope that Serraon is really asleep, but you are also worried that this is a conspiracy he and I have jointly set up to deceive you into making the wrong decision."

Raphael replied:

"Yes, although the Cherubim thinks she has confirmed this, I still have a duty to ask you."

Hearing this, Mann also confirmed his guess. The other party really wanted something from him, which was why he had deliberately changed the subject just now, and possibly the reason for Raphael's hesitation.

And Mann said very enthusiastically:

"I can sign a contract to guarantee Serraon's slumber, but to be honest, a member of the Secret Alliance is a little curious about the contract I just mentioned. After learning that I was going to see you, he specifically told me to ask about this matter.

"If you are willing to tell me about the contract, I can help you sign one."

This was not a particularly excessive request, especially for the current "Secret Alliance."

So Mann didn't think Raphael would refuse.

But the young Pope did not immediately agree to Mann's seemingly generous proposal. He also knew very well that this condition was not a problem for the current two parties, and he did not suspect that Mann had any special purpose.

But none of this mattered.

Raphael suddenly said:

"If I feel correctly, you should have a good relationship with your sister."

Hearing this, Mann frowned slightly, not knowing what Raphael wanted to say:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

He acted like he didn't care.

But Raphael knew he wasn't really indifferent:

"You haven't mentioned Chen Yun many times to the outside world. If I'm not mistaken, you should be trying to protect her, right?"

Mann asked:

"Does she need my protection? Isn't she your saint?"

Raphael asked with a smile:

"Do you understand what a saint is?"

This made Mann perk up.

He showed a serious listening expression:

"What is it?"

Raphael said seriously:

"Saints are the messengers of the destined returner, the Lord's representatives among humans, and also future angels, and there is a reason why they are chosen. All saints have the same characteristics.

"That is, they are extremely suitable for bearing the power of the destined returner, or to be precise…

"The power of reality benders."

His words surprised Mann a little, because these church members did not admit that the destined returner was a reality bender. They often claimed that reality benders were just inferior imitations of the destined returner, or that reality benders were created by him transcending the limitations of time.

Seeing that he had aroused Mann's interest, Raphael continued:

"A long time ago, existences like your sister were called Malleable, with the characteristic of being extremely easily influenced by reality benders, and they would be easily swayed by the thoughts of reality benders.

"You may think this characteristic is nothing, but in fact, Malleable are also extremely magical. Although they are extremely dependent on the existence of reality benders, and they often end up miserably after encountering evil benders, they will be extremely cruelly completely transformed and twisted in mind, and reshaped into completely new individuals."

Hearing this, Mann immediately thought of the destined returner and his angels. Ian's deeds had already proved that the thoughts of these creatures were all bound by the destined returner and were his slaves.

Raphael did not notice what Mann was thinking:

"And if reality benders want to do something evil to them, those evils will also descend on these poor guys in a way that completely conforms to their imagination. Even many times, reality benders may not even notice their existence, because their influence on all mankind will also take effect on them.

"If a reality bender tries to make all mankind feel a little depressed, these Malleable are likely to be instantly tormented by terrible despair to the point of attempting suicide, and I'm just giving a relatively mild example.

"And those really terrible things, I don't even want to imagine."

Needless to say, Mann could also imagine how pitiful these creatures that are easily transformed by the will of reality benders would be. The worst imaginations always exist in human minds, but usually no one can notice them.

And Malleable and reality benders can make them a reality.

Raphael continued:

"Fortunately, not all reality benders are good at influencing others. For example, Shenxiao is like this. Although I think she is also very good at influencing others, this has nothing to do with her reality bending ability.

"She influences others by relying on herself, and what she bends is her own reality.

"At the same time, if these Malleable encounter suitable reality benders, there will also be wonderful chemical reactions. Many originally ordinary Malleable have become geniuses in corresponding fields after following their reality benders.

"For example, there was a king who didn't know he was a reality bender. He never displayed any extraordinary divine power during his lifetime, but he had an invincible general and a guardian like a god.

"Later, we discovered through research that these two were Malleable.

"And in fact, you may have also seen Malleable of this era, because all six-winged angels who appeared after the destined returner left are Malleable, and there are also two Malleable among the current Great Demons.

"These years, we have been fighting with Hell for them. Normally, these Malleable would find some reality benders to follow under the influence of their physique, but in the past few thousand years, we have been looking for them instead.

"We also forged the so-called saints."

At this time, Mann understood why Chen Yun could become a high-level demon so quickly.

The speed at which she became a demon at that time was as if Hell was always waiting for her to develop hatred, and the transformation was completed extremely quickly, and Chen Yun was given particularly strong power.

But understanding this, Mann also gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.
