I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The doomsday景象 descended once more.

Moreover, each time it resurfaced, Ma En's offensive was easily nullified. The heart-piercing wound seemed as though it had never occurred, and his attack, combining memory erasure and telepathy, failed to plunge him into oblivion.

It now seemed that to defeat this reality warper, the doomsday 景象 was crucial. Originally, Shadow could have used his mental abilities to weaken the influence of this scene, but he was currently locked in a stalemate with the Child of the Sun.

The Salvation Alliance members in the distance had intended to assist Ma En, but the moment the doomsday reappeared, a group of bizarre-looking creatures appeared near them and began to attack, also holding them back.

These creatures all shared some resemblance to other species in reality, but they appeared smaller and more deformed, their expressions filled with bloodlust and madness, more like beasts than their original forms.

As for Wang Yin...

She simply didn't believe that Ma En could defeat Hong Yuan in his current state, so she had long since hidden herself using the characteristics of her vengeful soul. If Ma En showed any signs of defeat before Shadow triumphed, she would have to figure out how to survive.

She hadn't betrayed Divine Firmament to die at the hands of another reality warper.

This situation meant that Ma En had to face Hong Yuan alone. However, Feng Shaoying didn't have the energy to take care of a second combatant anyway; he had originally planned to deal with Hong Yuan alone.

The question now was how to break this doomsday 景象.

"You..."

The moment Hong Yuan opened his mouth, Ma En disappeared from his sight.

He turned his head as if sensing something.

But Hong Yuan didn't have the chance to see Ma En appear behind him.

[Flesh Manipulation, Shadow Walker, Shadow Blade]

Ma En's reappearing body inflated wildly like a balloon and immediately collided with Hong Yuan's body.

But he felt no impact.

Instead, there was dissolution.

Half of Hong Yuan's body was instantly shaved clean by the Shadow Blade. When his remaining body appeared dozens of meters away, he could even clearly feel the cross-section of his bones, followed by...

A brief blankness.

But the next moment, blood and flesh re-covered his body, growing back along the bones. An undamaged Hong Yuan appeared before Ma En with a smile.

The seemingly short distance of a dozen meters between them was a chaotic space like a cliff.

Hong Yuan smiled approvingly, his expression like he was encouraging a relative's child:

"Not a bad attempt. If it were the past, I might have died.

"But unfortunately, you had no chance of winning the moment you killed me. It was the past you who created this doomsday, and in a sense...

"It's your hell."

His expression was that of a victor.

Ma En stood there leisurely:

"You're really lucky. I wasn't so lucky as to be killed by you.

"Because you obviously can't do it."

This was why Hong Yuan had been talking and not attacking proactively.

Ma En, possessing both Shadow Walker and Flesh Manipulation, was already invincible. As long as he suffered a fatal injury, he could enter the shadow dimension at any time to slowly heal himself. Moreover, he wasn't afraid of Hong Yuan on a mental level.

Therefore, they were now in a stalemate.

Hong Yuan glanced sideways at the Child of the Sun and Shadow in the distance.

Ma En was right. They were currently in a two-on-two stalemate. Whoever defeated their opponent first would completely determine the outcome of this battle. In other words, one pair of ability users would decide the victory or defeat of this battle.

Hong Yuan didn't know the situation of the Child of the Sun and Shadow, but neither of them had clearly fallen into a disadvantage.

Although the Child of the Sun he brought had received the blessing of the strongest god, his opponent was a clone of a Rank V ability user. Hong Yuan couldn't expect the Child of the Sun to win in a short time. Even maintaining a stalemate was enough to meet his requirements.

In other words, he had to kill Ma En.

"Unfortunately, you have no chance of winning," Hong Yuan sighed. "Your confidence reminds me of myself in the past. Now, I would advise you to be more humble...

"Especially when you're fighting against a reality warper."

Hong Yuan took a step forward.

Ma En instantly felt a heavy pressure. The mountains and cities in the distance rushed towards his face. The increasingly solidified air made his breathing difficult. The black sunlight fell on the skin on his body, causing a stinging sensation. The dazzling stars flashed, making it difficult for him to open his eyelids.

Hong Yuan flashed behind Ma En:

"I must admit, you are indeed difficult to deal with...

"Provided you don't step into my world."

Normally, even if he met the other conditions, he wouldn't be able to create such a scene, but this was the center of the storm. In this specific time and place, he could borrow the remaining power of Divine Firmament to achieve his goals.

Only here could he wield his power so unscrupulously to influence reality.

This was why he pursued the prophecy of Divine Firmament.

If Hong Yuan successfully destroyed Divine Firmament's prophecy here, he could swallow Divine Firmament's remaining body here like a hyena, and then he could use the newly obtained power to go to various parts of the Federation and completely destroy the grand prophecy that Divine Firmament was building.

If he could completely subvert her prophecy, he might even be able to step into Rank V.

And Ma En was his first stepping stone.

As Hong Yuan reached out to the back of Ma En's neck, ripples of invisible energy rippled through reality, surging over like countless plankton, making the doomsday景象 in Ma En's eyes even clearer and more real than before.

Ma En could feel the surrounding space becoming chaotic and dangerous as the doomsday景象 approached, preventing him from entering the shadow dimension. Even Feng Shaoying didn't seem to be able to handle this immediately.

But he didn't just sit idly by, but stared into Hong Yuan's eyes and began to invade his thoughts.

As the doomsday continued to approach, the skin on Ma En's body began to fester and rot, and his vitality was rapidly being drained. Then, Ma En's posture became shaky, as if he was about to be defeated by Hong Yuan at any moment.

Ma En immediately began to control the flesh of his body, but it didn't give the proper response.

While Hong Yuan was attacking, Ma En was also invading his mind.

A sharp pain came from his head, followed by a daze of dizziness and numbness. Ma En completely ignored the pain on his body at this moment, and attacked his heart with an almost desperate attitude, and took advantage of the time when he was controlling reality to crash into his mind.

The mirror shattered.

Then there was a period of noise of unknown length.

Hong Yuan's eyes were dull and he relaxed his hands, his whole body stiffened in place.

Ma En almost killed his soul.

And this time he deliberately didn't completely kill Hong Yuan, so that he could bind him, so as to prevent Hong Yuan from returning to the real world from somewhere else again.

But the next moment, Hong Yuan reopened his eyes.

He looked at Ma En and smiled:

"Your mental attack is useless. It seems that you are suitable to learn from the lessons of the last battle and didn't try to directly kill my body, but this world's protection of me exists in both the spiritual and material worlds.

"But I said...

"You lost a long time ago."

Pa.

Ma En's body, like a broken and decayed dead tree, knelt in front of Hong Yuan.

"What's going on..." he said with difficulty, "I can't feel any strength."

Hong Yuan first got up and scanned the surrounding environment, confirming that Shadow and the Child of the Sun were still far from deciding the outcome, and the Salvation Alliance members had long been held back by his doomsday creatures. Some of them were coping well, but some were already struggling.

Besides them, there was only Wang Yin, a Rank IV ability user, and according to Hong Yuan, she was actually more difficult to deal with than the other Salvation Alliance members. If she was also fighting now, he might not have been able to hold them back so much.

But she seemed to be hiding, and even Wang Yin didn't believe that Ma En could win.

Everything was proceeding according to his will.

Hong Yuan turned to look at Ma En, who was kneeling on the ground, and a bit of pity and relief suddenly rose in his heart.

He was a tenacious warrior. When he launched his attack just now, Ma En almost exchanged his life for his. In the end, who could win might only depend on luck, but precisely because Ma En had this kind of courage, he was more likely to be the one who survived in the end.

If it weren't for this moment, he might have lost to Ma En several times already.

Ma En's only mistake in this life was meeting him.

A reality warper.

"Ah..." Ma En was almost lying on the ground, struggling to stand up, but he could only eat a mouthful of dirt.

Hong Yuan looked at the embarrassed Ma En and said:

"I originally thought about making you my new cane, but now I've changed my mind.

"I will only kill you, and this revenge will end here.

"You can't win against me not because of now, but because of the mistake you made when you killed me in the past. You shouldn't have given me the opportunity to experience death. We all have to be responsible for our past, our process, and...

"Our former weakness."

Hong Yuan smiled at him, then raised his hand to end his life.

Ma En had vaguely realized what was going on, then he raised his eyelids with difficulty and said with an unbelievable expression:

"I can't kill you because..."

Hong Yuan looked down at this loser in front of him who couldn't pose any threat to him and said:

"I can make my body and soul return to the still existing past.

"Or rather, I can prevent death and other futures from being realized.

"I have to thank Divine Firmament for this.

"Actually, you might not be very happy to say this, but your significance to me is somewhat like a substitute for Divine Firmament. She is the guy I dislike the most. How should I put it...

"After all, the creator of hell built the opposite of heaven, and I can't create a world to deal with a dying person, so what we are really fighting here is the source that built it - Divine Firmament.

"This is the doomsday of the past."

In the doomsday he created, prophecies can never come true.

He didn't actually have the ability to kill Ma En on a material or spiritual level. The only reality-warping power that could take effect on Ma En was the "past".

The current Ma En was indeed difficult to deal with, so he would just take part of him back to the distant past. He just found the weakest moment of Ma En and banished his body to that moment.

When he was still a baby.

Hong Yuan raised his hand at Ma En, preparing to end his life:

"Farewell."

"In other words, here you can constantly return to the past," Ma En said, standing behind him, "Therefore, unless I break the influence here on you, even if I completely erase your soul, I will not be able to defeat you."

Hong Yuan turned around in shock:

"How is that possible?"

This time he had clearly been specifically wary of Ma En's mental attack, and this time Ma En's influence on him on a mental level was far stronger than last time, wait...

Hong Yuan suddenly realized that when Ma En was exchanging his life for his just now, he was not launching a mental attack on him at all. Ma En had already realized that this was useless in the first confrontation. He couldn't take this risk.

His purpose at that time was to drag himself into an illusion, and the thoughts generated when he revealed the operating principle of his ability must have been guided by Ma En through mental means.

But how did he do it? How could he not have noticed?

Ma En didn't answer him:

"Because I'm different from you...

"I won't make the same mistake."

He never thought about "killing" Hong Yuan. From beginning to end, what Ma En wanted to do was to disintegrate Hong Yuan's resistance.

The purpose of him using the Shadow Blade to attack Hong Yuan was never to kill him. Shaving off Hong Yuan's upper body was to create an opportunity to invade his mind and erase this memory of him, so that he couldn't notice that this was actually a seed planted.

Those two unusual "blanks" were both memory erasures.

He knew very well that Hong Yuan's spirit couldn't be easily destroyed, so when he seemed to want to erase his soul for the second time, Hong Yuan, who thought he wasn't afraid of mental attacks, would give him the opportunity to "exchange his life for his".

This allowed Ma En to continue to delve deeper, relying on the cover of memory erasure to prevent him from noticing that he had already invaded his mind, and then guided Hong Yuan to confess the principle of his ability.

However, this was already the highest degree that could be achieved without arousing suspicion.

And he couldn't rely on these to kill his opponent, which was why Hong Yuan was still not flustered now.

On the contrary, he looked at Ma En with admiration:

"You are very strong. If we were to calculate the victory or defeat, I have already lost to you several times in a short period of time. This also makes this battle even more absurd. Even at this level, you still can't do anything to me.

"You just know what your doomsday is."

The current Hong Yuan was still in a state of being invaded by Ma En's mind.

But the past him wasn't.

Hong Yuan could return his mental state to a specific point in the past when it was still normal.

He looked at Ma En with sympathy, intending to use this to undo his invasion, which he didn't know how he had achieved.

But the next moment, Ma En's calm eyes suddenly reflected into his mind.

This was why Ma En no longer continued to conceal himself after learning the principle of Hong Yuan's ability.

The moment Hong Yuan attempted to use his ability to rewind time and undo Ma En’s mental powers,

he reached out and seized the ship’s wheel.

...

...

Hong Yuan was sailing on a stretch of noise of unknown length.

Almost eternal.

Until the ocean in his view began to shatter like a mirror, and the ship he was piloting fell into it, and waiting for him at the bottom of the sea was…

A brief…

no, a long blank.

Now, Hong Yuan finally saw how Ma En had deceived him. That blank fragment he had forgotten was so conspicuous in the past that it seemed to be longer than all the other fragments combined.

He could indeed return to the past, but what if a fatal trap had been set at a certain point in time?

His mental state, deviating from its course, was crashing into that moment of forgotten consciousness.

No, he could never be defeated like this!

He was a reality warper!

Hong Yuan gritted his teeth and gripped the ship's wheel tightly:

“You forced my hand!”
