I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 137 136. The Age of Titans (4K)

Inside the Paranormal Control Bureau.

Ma En slowly walked to the containment room where the spider was held. It was standing obediently on the floor, appearing no different from a normal creature to the naked eye—except that it curled into a perfect sphere when it huddled up.

Anomaly Entity: Titan Relic - Spider

Anomaly Strength: Ⅳ-4

Danger Level: Ⅳ-5

Description:

An unnatural creature that looks like a spider, with traces of mechanical and biotechnological modification inside. It possesses multiple complex anomalous properties.

Properties:

Titan Construct - Spider Ⅲ-3

An orderly composition of multiple composite anomalous properties, which can be used in conjunction with its own non-anomalous functions. It is designed to have no practical effect when used alone, and can only be used to restore the function of similar creatures that have lost their anomalous properties.

When this property is present in the anomalous entity, it will enable multiple anomalous properties, including but not limited to:

Telepathic communication, psychic interference, invisibility, biological detection, electronic information access.

God's Slumber Ⅳ-4 (1/1)

Can put gods with a weakness level equal to or lower than Ⅳ-1 into slumber. During this process, the god's personality and memory will be reshaped (death). The estimated recovery time is between six months and three hundred years, depending on the nourishment the conceptual god receives.

This effect will consume its own energy and cannot be recharged.

Hint: Some information is provided voluntarily by the anomaly entity.

Its first property couldn't achieve any function on its own.

It was as if the creator of this thing had considered the possibility of the technology on the spider being cracked and copied, and encrypted it. Perhaps there were also a large number of functions targeting normal cracking in its anomalous properties, and this separated encryption was the last line of defense they faced.

It seemed that the manufacturer valued the technology very much, but that was the problem.

The most important function of the spider, "God's Slumber," was not protected by this mechanism. It was possible that they couldn't achieve this kind of encryption on it, but Ma En was more inclined to believe that they didn't care if others obtained this technology.

The function of this thing was to put gods to sleep, and it wouldn't be a bad thing for the Titans whoever used it.

No wonder the Sons of Flame would risk going to find this relic. Even if the conditions were harsh, everyone would want to hold a weapon that could put gods to sleep and kill their current personalities.

When it saw Ma En, the black spider moved its appendages slightly, like a pet seeing its owner.

It wanted to communicate.

After ensuring that he had enough safety measures, Ma En raised his hand and opened the door of the containment room.

"Suitable human detected. Attempting to play voice according to the Titan Project 'Final Slumber' treaty."

The language that sounded in his mind was not one that Ma En had learned, but he could understand it without any obstacles.

A young female voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Test, hello, can you hear me?"

A pause of several seconds.

"Wait, how do I delete the previous voice message?

"Forget it, let's just start like this. I'm Rei, a seventh-generation Titan.

"If we had achieved a complete victory, you wouldn't have had the chance to hear this recording, but I guess you shouldn't be doing too well either, otherwise this message might become a joke for the gods.

"Let me assume that everything is going well. 'Wasteland' and 'Sword of Reason' have already succeeded, so the gods should be in their weakest state ever, and it's also our best chance to completely eliminate these bastards. Oh right, I almost forgot, they might cover up the truth…

"What we are fighting against are called gods, and there is a phenomenon we call 'nature worship' that generally exists in the consciousness of all human beings.

"Nature worship refers to the fact that when all human beings have sufficiently similar views and perceptions of certain concepts, it will lead to the existence of supernatural entities that highly conform to this perception—that is, the so-called gods.

"Here I want to explain that our imagination did not create them.

"They are our imagination. The perception of nature in your and my minds is their entire body.

"The gods are not the things they represent themselves. For example, the sun god has nothing to do with the star hanging in outer space. He is just a collection of our irrational imagination of the sun, and his strength only depends on our perception of him.

"Gods are just our imagination, that sounds good, right?

"But you must understand that as long as we have enough numbers, these gods can even surpass the things they represent, and we have almost no way to kill some gods.

"And after they have already ruled the world, it is even more impossible to defeat them.

"They appeared before we even mastered language, the fear of seeing flames, the shock of looking at the ocean, and the horror of thunder piercing the sky, and the two planets that will always exist in our world…

"These feelings shaped their earliest prototypes, but at that time the gods were still very close to the laws of nature themselves, and there was no threat to our survival, nor did they have any intention of ruling us.

"Although their personalities and memories have continuity now, this property is also made up of our imagination. The early myths that we passed down from mouth to mouth gave them continuous and unified personalities, and we also felt that the masters of natural phenomena should be stronger than us.

"After the emergence of language and the earliest stories, the darkest era descended.

"Our ancestors naturally gave names to the sun and the moon, and then anthropomorphized these natural phenomena in myths.

"At this time, we gave them humanity—one of the worst gifts in the world.

"Then, our world appeared with a group of powerful and incredible intelligent entities, and they would instinctively make mortals worship themselves—just like described in myths.

"And this behavior will make them constantly stronger, and stronger power can allow them to gain more worship.

"The earliest gods and their believers appeared. They gave their worshipers power and allowed them to spread their beliefs, which is of course also one of the descriptions of them in myths.

"When you create the word god to call something, your perception of this thing will only continue to be exaggerated.

"Finally, long, long before we were born, at some undocumented point in time, the gods reached their peak.

"At that time, all human beings had a bottom line on the number of gods they worshiped. Several gods had to receive the minimum level of worship. Unbelievers were the most vicious word at the time. All humans over the age of sixteen had to start reproducing, and they had to produce the minimum number of children in their fertile years. Then humans had to instill the great deeds of the gods in their offspring. This was our most important role.

"They were still using ideas to strengthen themselves and create their compatriots, as if we were the domestic pigs they kept.

"But the so-called gods' personalities also became more and more complex. Remember the gift we gave them?

"After we became their slaves, our imagination in pain shaped them again.

"Arrogance, greed, desire, madness, they were enough to start the most tragic war."

"On the eve of our era, the first War of the Gods broke out, and the Godly Kingdoms that ruled all mankind also fell apart, which also caused the strongest gods to be severely damaged and fall from their positions that did not belong to them.

"They returned to the strength of the primitive era—the sixth level, and many gods who were forcibly created by enslaving humans never appeared again.

"There were also some powerful gods who were temporarily killed by some special methods and reshaped into new personalities, including the Thunder God, Sea God, Sky God, and Earth God of our era. They are no longer who they used to be.

"Then came our era.

"Chaos was ended by the great Human King, and great empires rose from the ground. We advanced by leaps and bounds while the gods were quietly sleeping. When they woke up, they no longer saw a slave race that could be manipulated at will.

"They will remember this lesson and will never repeat the same mistake.

"But for us, one opportunity is enough.

"The gods adopted a gentler method to promote their beliefs. They established churches, and then, influenced by their actions, many new gods were born—gods that met human expectations.

"Gods of justice and fairness, gods of goodness, gods of light, gods of thieves, gods of merchants…

"But the gods who already possessed humanity ultimately could not accept the current situation. They had once ascended to the highest position, and the power in their memories haunted them like honey. They wanted us to return to the dark ages of the past…

"This is the starting point of the Second War, and it is also the war I am currently participating in.

"Through special methods, we secretly transformed the bodies of thirteen heroes who volunteered to sacrifice themselves into existences based on concepts and entities, so that they could also accept the influence of the 'nature worship' phenomenon, and declared to the civilians that they were the gods we should worship, and ultimately successfully shaped a total of nine human gods—that is, the first Titans.

"The meaning of this word is those who challenge the gods, and it has slowly evolved into confronting the gods themselves.

"However, at the beginning of the war, 80% of the civilians in the entire empire had moderate beliefs, and the proportion of believers among nobles and officials was even higher. We also carried out several purges because of this, but it was difficult to complete smoothly under such circumstances.

"When I recorded this, only two of the first-generation Titans remained. Although they were powerful enough, they were still not enough to fight against the gods alone due to the difficulty of production conditions and the inability to effectively destroy the gods.

"But they bought enough time."

"During this period, we continued to advance the Titan Project, and we also gained a better understanding of the essence of the gods. Then, we found a few gods who were willing to implant the concept of 'God's Death' into them, so that they could become gods who could kill gods, at the cost that they could also be killed.

"The God of Justice, the God of Light, and the God of Goodness became the second-generation Titans, and they also achieved remarkable results.

"The God of Justice is the only second-generation Titan still alive.

"Then came the third generation, the fourth generation, the fifth generation, until now there have been thirteen generations of Titans, and our achievements have gradually become equal to those of the gods. Finally, with the implementation of various plans, the time has come for the final battle.

"There are several possibilities in front of us. The gods are completely controlled, we survive, civilization will continue to exist, and our descendants will remember and insist on guarding the gods, and completely drive them out of our world.

"Or, although several major plans have succeeded, the gods have fallen into slumber and have been imprisoned in the wasteland, but their counterattacks have also destroyed us and subsequent guarding plans.

"This is actually also the gods' secondary goal, because as long as we can no longer guard them, they are destined to recover.

"If we no longer remember what the gods are, they will grow back in your minds and try to continue to control all mortals to achieve the promotion of power.

"So we prepared the 'Second Slumber' plan.

"For example, we left some relics that will appear at specific times, and the knowledge inside will guide the humans of that time to establish a rational way of cognition, a knowledge system based on verifiability. I don't know what words you will use to call it in the future, but we now call it 'Managildon'."

These syllables formed a familiar word in Ma En's mind—science.

"We predict that under this knowledge system, future humans will deny and criticize the existence of gods before they recover, so the recovery of the gods will be delayed dozens of times.

"And what I'm doing now is also part of this plan.

"We have prepared 20,000 sleep spiders and 30 factories. If the gods have not woken up now, you can use this thing to keep them asleep. If you are lucky, they will never be able to wake up again.

"When you see it, there should already be thousands of sleep spiders appearing in your society, and the factories will also receive signals to go to the surface, so you just need to make good use of our gifts and then continue to do what we couldn't finish.

"The last possibility is that we have completely lost.

"But since you can get it, it proves that the gods have once again revealed flaws, so I hope you can know that there were other humans who fought before you, and we were very close to success.

"Next, I'll leave it to you."

Pause.

"Okay, I have a real mission to perform.

"I hope the final fate of this thing is to be placed in a display case. Maybe when I'm old, I'll take my grandchildren to the museum to reminisce about my youth.

"Wish me luck."

As the brisk words stopped, the black spider also lay on the ground, allowing Ma En to throw it back into the containment room.

Special control measures have been parsed

Anomaly Entity: Gods

Special control measures: Implant the idea that this god has been contained by the Paranormal Control Bureau in the minds of 90% of the affected humans, and keep its total amount higher than 30% of its body.

]

Judging from what humans know about the Titans today, that civilization should have declined in that war at that time, and she should have died shortly after recording the message.

But they didn't seem to lose.

Now, the Gods are trapped within the Southern Federation, and in a rather weakened state. Only recently have they begun to attempt to escape. The Titan civilization's plan must have achieved remarkable success.

Then...

Now it's their turn.
