I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

#636 - 626 "The Dust Settles"

Titan Ruins, Ninth City, teleportation hall.

Zasna, Walter, and Victor, the three Titans, were patiently waiting for Mann's arrival in the hall. They had been here for several days, but it was nothing to long-lived beings like them.

Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, they couldn't sense Seraph's presence after the ritual ended. In other words, unless something special happened, the King of Gods should have fallen asleep.

This news was worth waiting any amount of time for.

Zasna broke the silence with some curiosity:

"If he really solved Seraph, what should we do?"

She had asked a similar question when the two Titan Kings first arrived here, but they didn't give any answer at the time, only saying that they would stay here and wait for Mann's arrival.

So Zasna waited a few days before raising the question again. In her opinion, this question was not something that needed to be strictly kept secret, but she still tried her best not to arouse suspicion.

And this time Walter answered normally, he did not have any doubts about his compatriot Zasna.

"Although Seraph has been dealt with, the other gods are still extremely dangerous, and according to the instruments, almost none of them have fallen asleep. We must take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate the other gods.

"Otherwise, who knows when they will try to awaken Seraph again, or maybe they will find this place and forcibly destroy our ritual to keep Seraph asleep.

"A lot of Titans will definitely die by then."

Victor thought a little more:

"The premise is that Seraph is really asleep. We should be more careful with that cunning God King. Maybe he just deceived our detection through some means, and Mann may have been killed by him.

"Or worse, Mann may have reached some agreement with him and wants to deceive us."

Zasna didn't quite agree with this view:

"He signed the Golden Oath with us, he won't betray us."

Victor said:

"But the oath we gave was still too lenient. After all, we don't have any leverage over him. If he really discussed it with Seraph in detail, maybe he can really find some loopholes.

"Anyway, we can't directly trust him."

Zasna didn't say anything more.

But she secretly sent a message to Mann through the panel in front of her.

Nearly twenty hours later.

As the magic within the building walls began to flow, the eyes of the three Titan Kings lit up, and they looked at the ritual core in the center of the hall. And just as their eyes fell...

Mann also walked out of the dissipating teleportation light.

"It's done." He looked at the Titan Kings and said, "Seraph has fallen asleep."

But facing this good news, Victor showed a questioning look:

"What about the other gods? You said at the time that after solving Seraph, all the gods would fall into eternal sleep, but why haven't any gods fallen asleep after so many days?"

Mann had also prepared an explanation:

"Because we had just finished dealing with Seraph when the Thunder God arrived at the scene, and he had already eliminated the troops that the Federation was going to send to deal with the other gods, and the Federation had also changed its mind.

"After all, they are the ones who truly hold the dominant power, and I can't promise or decide anything."

Victor narrowed his eyes slightly:

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is too important, so if you are willing, can you take this Golden Oath to prove that Seraph has really fallen asleep?"

After saying that, he handed over a golden tablet.

And the content on it was as dense as a contract from hell. The first few paragraphs required Mann to swear that he was the one who entered the Titan Ruins some time ago, and not some spy disguised as him.

There were also various harsh requirements in the middle, including asking him to promise that he had not reached a deal with Seraph. He couldn't pass this "test" alone. Besides this, there were many requirements that he didn't meet.

After all, he had been lying from beginning to end.

So he couldn't take this oath.

So he directly raised his head to look at Victor on the opposite side, and said with a calm expression:

"No, this contract is too cumbersome."

Victor's face instantly turned cold when he heard this, and the expressions of Walter and Zasna behind him also showed some surprise, but they didn't immediately express their opinions, seemingly waiting for Mann's explanation.

Victor directly questioned:

"Then how can we believe you? And if we can't believe that you didn't collude with Seraph, we might directly detain you here, and you might never be able to return to your world."

Mann first looked at Walter and replied:

"I can swear to the Golden Oath that we have sealed Seraph for a thousand years. We can't guarantee that he won't be able to escape during this time, but I have not deceived you on this matter."

Speaking of this, Mann also glanced at Victor:

"As for your threat, you can try it. Then you will be able to see the other members of the Secret Alliance."

Victor's expression worsened a bit, and he didn't believe Mann's words at all, and wanted to say something.

"Enough." But Walter forcibly interrupted him, and took out a golden tablet again, reached out and rewrote a new oath on it according to Mann's words, and then handed it to him.

Mann did not hesitate and directly signed the oath.

Seeing this, Walter also nodded:

"Since that's the case, we can continue to talk about the other gods, right? What Victor said just now is not wrong. You promised us at the time that we would put all the gods to sleep."

Mann said seriously:

"What I said at the time was that I wanted to do this, but I didn't promise that it would definitely succeed. If the Federation wants to cooperate with you to continue to solve the other gods, I will come back to you, but I don't think they have this intention.

"The Federation wants to use the power of the gods to control the south, and I have no way to intervene."

Walter nodded slightly:

"Then maybe we can propose some conditions to the Federation. I believe that solving the other gods should also be a good thing for you. No human would want the gods to still rule this world."

Mann nodded:

"Of course, I can also convey this meaning to you, but we have completely the same needs in solving Seraph, so we will provide additional assistance, including persuading the Federation to take action.

"But now we have no other reason, so I can only help you convey the message to the Federation and provide some limited assistance. If you have any ideas, you can also contact me through Zasna.

"But this time, don't be so stingy again."

Having just solved Seraph, there was no way he would put himself in a dangerous quagmire, which would only give the Federation and the gods a chance to kill him, but letting the Federation and the Titans deal with the gods alone was fine.

And Walter also heard Mann's subtext.

Obviously, he was somewhat dissatisfied with their deliberate withholding of weapons.

But now he could only nod and say:

"Very good, I will contact you through Zasna. Since Seraph has fallen asleep, then we have nothing else we want to know. I will start preparing the reward for dealing with the other gods."

As he expected...

Only the soulless Titans can firmly stand on the opposite side of the gods.
