I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Seraern understood everything.

It wasn't that someone killed the Moon God, but that her research into secrets had progressed, which explained why the moon itself had never been completely erased, because the purpose of this power wasn't god-slaying.

He had simply made the worst assumption because this power could kill gods.

Upon realizing this, Seraern felt a sense of relief.

Although the matter wasn't completely resolved and there were still some troubles, such as the power still being dangerous to the gods, and he didn't want to see the Moon God complete her secret transformation, but...

As long as no gods were killed, that was a good thing.

Moreover, even though this was entirely the result of his overreaction, he would still take the exact same actions if given another chance, because the outcome being better than he expected could be considered lucky, but if he hadn't "overreacted" in time when faced with real danger, then cruel reality wouldn't give him a chance to struggle.

The problem was how he should handle the current situation, he couldn't just say it was all a misunderstanding, could he?

While he fell silent, the other two gods also stood still, doing nothing.

The Fire God stood there looking extremely restrained, after realizing what was actually happening, he didn't know what expression to use when facing Seraern and Mann.

The Sea God looked at the hazy figure with a puzzled expression, although she didn't immediately recognize the true identity of this mental entity like Seraern did, she vaguely sensed something.

"So your initial target wasn't me at all," Mann broke the awkward silence, "but this new member of the Secret Alliance next to me, you were worried that she would threaten your position of power?

"Thinking about it, your methods are quite clever, specifically targeting me, who has connections with her, if I hadn't run out of other opponents to use, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to find your existence at all.

"Unfortunately, the moment you had to personally bring your subordinates to find me, you were destined to lose."

In reality, Mann didn't know what Seraern was thinking at the moment, nor did he understand that his move just happened to answer the questions that plagued Seraern, making him even more convinced that this was the truth.

He also didn't know that the Sea God knew Seraern's true identity, so he didn't realize how reasonable it seemed to his opponent that the Moon God had obtained this information, but none of that mattered.

Because when their opponent was a top god in charge of secrets and the mind, it was perfectly normal to learn that Seraern was the mastermind, Mann didn't need to think about how to cover up his methods.

After all, if even he couldn't figure out how Serri did it, there was no way the other side could figure it out.

Hearing this, the Sea God finally confirmed that the one standing behind Mann was the Moon God, and then she immediately realized that the reason she was here was a lie, so she immediately looked at Seraern.

However, Seraern ignored her questioning gaze and instead looked at Mann first.

He still maintained the demeanor a god should have:

"That's right, I did lose, it's not easy to remain hidden in this situation, and I didn't expect to definitely succeed, but from the very beginning, this defeat was within my expectations.

"As they especially like to say, you can't kill gods anyway, or...

"Can you?"

Mann narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at him with some curiosity:

"What do you want to say?"

Seraern looked at him and said:

"Perhaps you don't understand what kind of power the Moon God is currently researching, so let me tell you why I wanted to stop her, it may be hard to believe, but I'm not the kind of god who would prevent other gods from breaking the curse.

"I know that some gods take the lead in lifting the curse very seriously, many gods feel that this is an opportunity for them to gain a dominant position among the gods, and they are right.

"At least in the short term, the god who lifts the curse first will become the new leader, replacing the position I and others used to occupy, such rule might last for hundreds or even thousands of years...

"But I will eventually return to my original position, this is destined to happen, so I don't care who replaces my position, even if they really have a chance to suppress me forever, I wouldn't care.

"I know what's important, and I know what the real problem is for the gods, only fools would engage in infighting with their compatriots at such a crucial time, so I'm not worried about the Moon God lifting the curse before me.

"Believe me, my vision is longer than that of most mortals."

Mann noticed that the other two gods deliberately looked away, their expressions as if they hadn't heard what Seraern was saying at all, obviously they had no interest in participating in this topic.

Mann asked:

"Then what is your motive?"

Seraern naturally took over the conversation and said:

"The problem isn't what the Moon God wants to do, but the way she chooses to do it, since your organization calls itself the Secret Alliance, and you are using that kind of power, then I think you must have some basic understanding of the power of secrets.

"To be honest, I never thought she could succeed before, I thought she would be swallowed by this power, secrets are extremely dangerous things for the gods, in my past view, her behavior was like playing with fire and self-immolating.

"Even if she really had a chance to succeed, it wouldn't be done in a short time.

"But looking at it now, I was too arrogant and underestimated my compatriots, the Moon God may have been using secrets to disguise her power long ago, and I didn't recognize her disguise.

"However, I think her rapid success must also be related to you."

Mann didn't seem particularly willing to answer him:

"Maybe, you don't need to know that."

Seraern smiled:

"You are the victor, you have the say, but I have actually seen some clues, the members of your Secret Alliance seem to be using some kind of secret power, and it's not the kind that the Moon God has mastered.

"Let me think, you used this power to help the Moon God, allowing her to overcome obstacles that had plagued her for many years, and you also used this as an exchange to get her to join the Secret Alliance.

"Although my memory is already blurred, but if my guess is correct, your contact with her was when you led the remaining Salvation Alliance in the Southern Federation, she was originally opposed to me within the gods, so she would naturally help you members of the Salvation Alliance who were fighting against the Federation.

"That was the time for you to make your move, and her secret transformation also involved that power."

"Right?"
