I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

#297 - 292. Traitor Princess (4k)

Atlantis.

Ellie was sitting at her desk, reading materials borrowed from the library, and quietly recording the contents on the Control Bureau's panel. Unfortunately, the books she had access to now contained no important information. Since her father was imprisoned, her status as a princess was just a title, and her inherent power had been stripped away by the supreme Three Wise Kings.

Because of this, she was worried whether the information she provided to that mysterious organization would be enough to make them listen patiently, and whether they would care about the possible war between the land and Atlantis. These questions made her quite uneasy about the upcoming meeting.

But this was something she had to do. Although exposure might worsen her and her father's situation, even leading to death, it was not impossible. Although the status of a princess was very honorable in Atlantis, its specialness was all due to her royal father.

If things were exposed, then she would be committing the capital crime of treason.

Although princesses had some privileges, the current situation was special. Moreover, Ellie had heard that they were planning to support a new prince to fill the vacancy of the twelve princes caused by her father's imprisonment, which made Ellie increasingly anxious about her fate.

If things continued like this, she might never have a chance to turn things around, because her father would likely be secretly executed by then.

So she had to free her father before that happened, and she didn't care what price she had to pay. Ellie knew that this might make it impossible for them to live in Atlantis, so they could just escape to the land.

Although she had not experienced any major storms, history had mentioned many exchanges of political interests. If it were her father, he might be able to reach some kind of deal with the current rulers of the land in exchange for their protection.

She closed the book and sighed softly.

Having read books, Ellie could now realize how naive and unrealistic her thoughts were. The current Three Wise Kings had all lived for at least a thousand years. A princess like herself was no different from other children in their eyes.

How could she rescue her father in the face of their obstruction?

Reality was not a fairy tale.

In fact, Ellie was still very hesitant about what she was about to do. Although Atlantis was undoubtedly the unjust party in the possible upcoming war, her father had taught her what was right and wrong when she was young.

Moreover, unlike her compatriots, her father had also told her that the people living on the land were ordinary people who were no different from them, which made her clearly realize that the recent rumors circulating in the royal city that the land people were inherently evil were just pretexts for war.

Perhaps the rulers on the land were the benevolent and wise monarchs that could only be seen in books. They might be the kind and just country, while they were the evil invaders in the story, bringing flames and death to the happy and fair land.

But even so, if her father had not encountered this kind of thing, she would not have considered informing the land, because she could see that doing so might cause countless Atlantean warriors to die, and they were all her compatriots outside the battlefield.

Not to mention the imminent ancient evil god, the terrifying sea race lurking in the deepest trenches.

Although not as alarming as the Three Wise Kings claimed, they were indeed constantly eroding Atlantis' defense line and consuming their resources. Countless warriors' bones fell into the abyss and became nourishment for the sea race to build their nests.

And as the prophecy of the original Four Wise Kings said, in the current seventh millennium, He will awaken and rise, and together with the false god on the land, bring doom to the two worlds. This is the imminent real disaster and the fuse of this war.

She found it hard to imagine what fate her country would fall into if the evil god really rose, but the growing threat of the sea race was seen by every Atlantean. If nothing was done, Atlantis would really be severely damaged by them.

And Ellie's father, after just learning about this, thought of a more reasonable and ethical approach - that is, to join hands with the current rulers of the ground to fight against this evil god that might threaten them. This is what they should do.

But the Three Wise Kings only saw the sea race in front of them, and did not think about the evil god that was about to rise. They even wanted to forge a feud with the land for this reason, and these teachings from her father also made Ellie think of the best possibility.

If she could prevent this war in a peaceful way and let them sit down and join hands to fight against the evil god, then the land's country and Atlantis would achieve an acceptable "win-win" situation, and if she couldn't do that...

At least she had to rescue her father.

With this thought in mind, she closed her eyes on time.

"You want to see me?"

Ellie opened her eyes, looked around the conference room that she had only been to once, and then turned her gaze to the human whose specific appearance she couldn't see clearly on the opposite side.

"Yes," she said firmly, "I want to ask if we are an organization established by humans on the land?"

Mann replied vaguely:

"We feel that the whole world is our obligation. As I said, the purpose of the Watchers is to protect this crumbling reality and all the countries and social structures we live in, so that the intelligent life living on this planet will not be destroyed.

"Do you have any land-related news to bring us?"

Ellie nodded heavily:

"Yes, I once reported that Atlantis has ambitions for the land, but the actual situation is more complicated than that. My father was once the head of the spies sent to the land for reconnaissance, but he met my mother there.

"So I can be considered half a land person, and for this reason, my compatriots actually have some prejudice against me."

Mann nodded:

"So you don't want to see the war happen."

Ellie replied:

"That's right, and my mother may also be on the land now. My father didn't mention her situation to me.

"But now I can't ask questions anymore, because he was imprisoned shortly after returning to Atlantis, because he disagreed with the decision unanimously passed by the Three Wise Kings, that is, to launch a conspiracy against the land and forcibly bring you into the war with our enemies.

"And the situation I am facing is that my father is likely to be imprisoned forever, or even secretly executed.

"So I am here to seek your help."

Mann asked deliberately in a curious tone:

"You want me to represent the land to stop this conspiracy in exchange for your father's freedom?"

Ellie's expression was a little struggling:

"Yes, this is an unforgivable betrayal to my compatriots, but I have no other choice.

"If you hadn't contacted me, I might have just waited for my father's news until I died, or done something out of line, and finally been imprisoned or secretly executed.

"And there is a reason why I am looking for you now. I just got the news that Atlantis is about to take new action. In fact, it was a little late when I knew, although they still trust me very much, they have long stopped notifying me of this important information in time.

"So I only recently learned that they sent a second wave of more elite and professional spies a year ago, and after this exploration, they had enough understanding of your world. When the first important news came back, the Three Wise Kings almost changed their minds because of the information they received, because they heard that there was a strong man named Shenxiao in the land's kingdom.

"However, later we learned that your rulers and other races and forces joined forces to seal this dangerous human being, which completely reassured the Three Wise Kings. This incident not only solved the dangerous character that they were originally very worried about, but also made the Three Wise Kings firm in their belief that they could win this war.

"Because they think that this incident has already demonstrated the stupidity of the land's country. They have no possibility of failure in the face of such an enemy.

"But the situation may be more complicated than they think, right?"

The girl looked at Mann expectantly, hoping to hear him say that this incident did not mean the Federation's stupidity.

Mann nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, the situation is indeed more complicated than they see. I am more inclined to believe that the Federation was forced into a position where they had no choice. They have some irreconcilable contradictions with Shenxiao. Although the current approach has many disadvantages, it may already be the best result for them."

But in fact, he himself was not sure whether what he said was true, but in any case, he was unwilling to think of his enemies as fools. Thinking that way would be a bit too arrogant, and Shenxiao could not really lose to fools.

Ellie nodded:

"I think so too, but I think this incident has indeed made the Three Wise Kings despise you, and it is also an indisputable fact that you are currently weak. Now, it seems to be the best time to start a war.

"So the Three Wise Kings sent out the third vanguard, and they will infiltrate your south and north under the cover of the first two waves of spies. These two areas are relatively chaotic and have loopholes that can be seized, and this time their goal is not just to gather intelligence.

"We are preparing to start planning to find suitable places to cause tsunamis in your territory, and use ocean magic to submerge your cities and bring you into the war we are currently in, and this will not consider your feelings.

"When their plan is completed, even if you know the truth, you will have no other choice. This is a very sinister conspiracy. At that time, you can only be forced to fight against the terrifying creatures in the ocean with us, or destroy each other in the struggle with us.

"But after such a thing, it is impossible for us to really fight side by side. I doubt whether this can really stop the rise of the ancient evil god in the seabed, and before the plan is completed, many innocent land people and Atlanteans will die. Doing so will only sow the seeds of hatred among us.

"And our real common enemy will definitely use this hatred. I can't see any hope in such a conspiracy.

"Fortunately, I was also selected for this plan, and that's why I was able to know the information of the second infiltration operation. If you agree, I want to join hands with you to stop the arrival of this war.

"The best case is that we can jointly face the ancient evil god who is about to awaken in a peaceful way and Atlantis, so as to prevent him from destroying this world as prophesied. We should not be enemies from beginning to end."

Hearing this, Mann thought of the prophecy in Shenxiao's blood - "The day the conspiracy of the two gods subsides, the mountains will bow their heads and surrender."

He asked:

"Besides Shenxiao, there are many Tier V powerhouses on the land, including the Federation who controls many, and those outside the Federation may not want to see your conspiracy succeed. Does Atlantis really have the confidence to provoke them?"

Ellie's expression was quite determined:

"Yes, we have the protection of the Sea God.

"With His existence, we are already invincible. No matter how many powerhouses you have on the land, you can't threaten us who live in the sea. If anyone enters the deep sea to fight us, they are asking for their own death.

"No one can defeat the ocean itself."

In the information she submitted, she mentioned their belief in the Sea God, and He and the Sea God Mann had encountered were not the same person. In the records of Atlantis, they called the Undead Sea God of the Southern Federation a false god.

In their understanding and cognition, the ocean itself is the real god. They think that the ocean of this planet has its own will, and this will is called the Sea God by them. Every drop of water in the sea is His body.

Moreover, there is a point in these information that makes Mann particularly afraid, that is, according to records in the ancient times long before the sinking of Atlantis, the Sea God created by the ocean will and human consciousness had a quite bloody and crazy struggle. At that time, all the gods stood behind the Sea God, even the Sun God who had a deep hatred for her expressed his support.

Finally, out of mutual fear, the ocean will and the Sea God chose to divide the sea area on this planet equally. This state lasted for countless years.

Until the day the Titans rose.

The Sea God's sleep allowed the ocean itself to regain almost all of the sea area. Now the Sea God can only control the sea area near the Southern Federation.

Moreover, in fact, due to the existence of the ocean will, this god who once had almost the same status as the sun and the earth in ancient times has also been in a long-term decline. After the rise of the Titans, this has led her to perform far less than the Sun God. If it were not for the existence of the second Sea God, she would now become a god second only to the Sun God.

According to the information Mann currently has, in the era when these two Sea Gods were evenly matched, the Sea God created by human will was far stronger than any abnormal entity he had seen. At that time, she was a Tier VI god and one of the rulers of the human world.

That is to say, the ocean will itself that could fight against her at that time was probably also Tier VI.

So here comes the question.

In the information Ellie gave him, it seems that she didn't mention that this ocean will has weakened, which means that if he didn't think wrong, the ocean itself worshipped by Atlantis is likely to be a Tier VI entity.
