I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The sound of metal shoes hitting the ground came from the doorway. Before Bishop Fu could rise to greet him, the visitor rudely pushed open the wooden door, dragging his heavy armor as he entered, his eyes as sharp as an eagle about to hunt.

He spoke with a polite tone that completely contrasted with his demeanor:

"Bishop Fu, I am Inquisitor Enkes.

"We received your message."

Bishop Fu could see several fully armed inquisitors standing outside the door over his shoulder. The armor-like objects they wore were all divine creations from hundreds of years ago, powerful weapons used to bear divine power, and essentially had nothing to do with armor.

Enkes had an ancient church longsword hanging from his waist. Although it didn't look significantly different from other church longswords, Bishop Fu had seen this holy sword called 'Sealer' countless times in ancient books. It simultaneously possessed the ability to stabilize space and strengthen will, and had killed countless ability users who were good at spatial movement and telepathy.

Only a force of the Church's level could casually produce such targeted and dangerous weapons.

But what surprised the bishop the most was the team that appeared before him—the infamous "Black Daggers," specializing in handling the worst and dirtiest matters. They were monsters whose humanity had been altered by faith, and also the nightmare of many clergy members.

Their appearance meant that someone above the Deputy Court Master had personally issued the order. They had seized this opportunity, and the Tribunal knew very well that this pro-Pope bishop would not have the courage to restrain them—even though theoretically it was his right.

And Enkes was the most notorious member of them, as well as the leader of this team. His bad reputation was mainly due to the fact that he personally killed nineteen regional bishops, as well as four archbishops, and possibly even more unknown victims.

But Bishop Fu also had to admit that his efficiency was extraordinarily high. Although the Pope did not advocate for their kind of true "zealot" behavior, it provided them with unparalleled motivation.

No rest, no enjoyment, only the bare minimum of living guarantees.

Other than that, there was training, learning, and combat. These zealots were perfect tools. If they didn't occasionally point their swords at other clergy members, it was estimated that all the bishops would be particularly happy to see them.

Even if they really sometimes attacked "their own people," the Pope's attitude towards them was still particularly ambiguous. He had several opportunities to weaken the power and strength of the Tribunal, but he didn't take any action, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many traditional bishops.

But the pro-Pope faction, mainly composed of young people under the age of forty like him, held the opposite view. Although they also hated the troubles brought by these inquisitors, they also felt that they were indispensable sharp blades of the Church now.

Only a foolish swordsman would dull his sword.

A wise man would grip the hilt tightly.

So he was still very polite to these inquisitors, which was not entirely out of fear of their reputation.

"Your Excellency Enkes," Bishop Fu nodded, "I'm glad you arrived so early. Let's go inside and rest first."

Enkes refused mercilessly:

"There's no need, time is tight."

Bishop Fu didn't dare to say anything about this:

"Alright, then let's talk here. You've all seen what I found. There are still many problems now. We have to first double-check the authenticity of the content, and then find conclusive evidence."

He said this because he was worried that these inquisitors would directly go to Maen's trouble. They had always been known for their swift and decisive actions.

It was just that the bishop's understanding of this was somewhat biased.

Enkes looked at him and said:

"No need, we just came back from East New State.

"I can guarantee with my life that everything you submitted to me is true. The severity of this matter may be beyond your imagination. We must kill Maen as soon as possible."

Bishop Fu raised his concerns:

"I'm afraid this will affect our saint…"

Enkes interrupted again:

"It's okay, we will make sure she understands what her brother has done. This is our duty. I have already learned about the saint's information, not to mention that as long as they are saints, they all have a kind heart and can distinguish right from wrong.

"She will eventually understand and accept her brother's death.

"Before that, she will be sad, unable to accept it, blame us, and even resent us, but none of this matters.

"Because you can comfort her and put the blame on us.

"Isn't this what you are best at?"

The bishop's face became a little embarrassed:

"Uh, this is just a stereotype. By the way, let's formulate a plan to deal with Maen…"

Enkes didn't give him any leeway in this regard either:

"We are already prepared."

He patted the holy sword Sealer on his waist and revealed the white gloves he was wearing:

"We have conducted an in-depth investigation into this criminal's fighting style. Someone from the Federation has also provided a detailed report and analysis on him, and also mentioned his battle with the reality bender. I may be one of the people in the world who knows him best now.

"And I think he is the type who is good at preparing for battle. If we continue to wait, it will only tilt the balance of victory in his direction. Therefore, I decided to carry out the mission immediately after seeing you."

Enkes did this because he was worried that the information would be leaked from the bishop's side. He completely distrusted these clergy members sitting in the office.

Bishop Fu quickly persuaded him:

"I have also heard of your reputation. You are the most outstanding trial team in the entire Church…"

Enkes interrupted:

"No, we are not.

"We are just the fourth best."

Bishop Fu followed his words and continued:

"Okay, you are the fourth most outstanding trial team, but what we have to face is not a simple situation, not the kind of mission where you rush in with your swords and get blood all over the place. What we have to deal with is Maen…

"A member of the Salvation Alliance who defeated a reality bender, in other words, he is a follower of another reality bender."

The inquisitor's expression suddenly became particularly terrifying:

"There is no such thing as a reality bender in this world. They are just misplaced reflections."

Bishop Fu immediately showed an apologetic expression:

"Sorry, I mean the so-called reality bender."

This title is actually a resistance to the federal scholars. Some theologians disagree with the existence of reality benders. The one destined to return is naturally not a reality bender, he is the incarnation of the God in the mortal world.

And at that time, he once put forward the prophecy of "I will return", and this prophecy created a group called misplaced reflections, which is what other people call reality benders.

Here, it must be specifically pointed out that they are not the reflections of the gods themselves, but the reflections of the incarnations of the gods. There is a huge difference between the two.

But the most acute counter-evidence to this view is that there were so-called "reality benders" before the coming of the one destined to return, and a theologian who was also an inquisitor put forward a new view.

That is, the moment the one destined to return spoke the prophecy, those reality benders of the past were born.

That's right, the one destined to return has transcendence. He precedes the past and is later than the future. Time has no meaning to him, so the existence of reality benders before him is also explained.

This is why they regard the inquisitors as fanatics.

Most of the bishops do not support his view. In modern times, they have gradually stopped mentioning the somewhat embarrassing concept of "misplaced reflections", so as not to be ridiculed and despised by scholars in other fields, as if the word had never appeared.

Now their mainstream view is that the one destined to return is not a reality bender, but something far higher than it—that is, God.

Only the inquisitors still adhere to this outdated and old view. In fact, it makes sense for them to think so, because it is necessary for their work.

If they claim that those reality benders are just distorted creations caused by the prophecy of the incarnation of the gods, then when facing those reality benders who violate common sense, they can use this reason to dispel fear.

They would say…

"God will protect me." Enkes said firmly, "Those misplaced reflections are just problems that need to be corrected, and we are messengers protected by the true God, and it is our mission to understand their mistakes.

"If I have the protection of God, how can I lose to a mere sinner?"

Why don't you say this to Shen Xiao?

Bishop Fu didn't say what he really thought:

"That's the mission God gave us, but not to you."

This is the perfect rebuttal, but usually he explains this to the believers. Defeating evil is the task God gives to all mankind, and happiness is the gift God gives to all mankind, so temporary injustice and misfortune cannot explain that God has abandoned you.

He loves the world.

But Bishop Fu didn't expect that he would have to say these things to his colleagues one day, and it still seemed to have a good effect.

Enkes did not refute this, but instead said:

"I have already felt the guidance of God. I can imagine myself cutting off his head with the holy sword.

"I have seen the revelation,"

Guidance, a difficult argument to deal with.

But fortunately, he has a way.

Bishop Fu's answer was simple:

"Those dead inquisitors thought so too, this kind of thing is not uncommon."

Enkes said firmly:

"Do you know why those losers ended up like that?

"Their faith was not firm enough, and I know how devout I am."

Good argument, their faith is not firm enough.

He can't say that Enkes is not devout, if he does, he will definitely have his head chopped off immediately.

Bishop Fu thought again and said:

"The most important thing is that this matter is not just a simple battle. If it were just like this, I could completely hand it over to you, but Chen Yun may be present at that time, and we have to deal with her emotions properly.

"If we think about the worst possibility, maybe he will use this saint as a shield?

"Then how will you deal with it?"

Enkes smiled:

"That's the best situation, so you will save the saliva to persuade her, let me tell you what is the worst situation…

"Chen Yun takes the initiative to be his shield.

"This is the tricky situation, and we have actually dealt with such cases several times. The probability of a person who is actively coerced surviving during the battle is as high as seven out of five here.

"And we will take special care of her, so don't worry."

Bishop Fu still refused to surrender:

"You can handle this situation, but reality will only be more complicated than our speculation. Don't look at me like that, I know you are an experienced expert, but Chen Yun is really too important…"

Enkes finally couldn't suppress his dissatisfaction:

"So what do you want to do, wait here for ten days and let you and your companions prepare other things first, and then happily pick up our credit after we kill Maen?

"Do you know what is the most ridiculous thing? The reason you say these things is that there are various risks in attacking Maen now, but I have clearly told you that doing so is the most correct decision. Our tactical judgment is that the chances of winning by acting now are the greatest, and if we wait two more days, the win rate may drop to 60%.

"I want to act immediately not because I underestimate him, this is the greatest respect for the enemy.

"Understood?"

Bishop Fu smiled awkwardly:

"I didn't mean that…"

Enkes said with a contemptuous expression:

"Sometimes I think you are not much better than those sinners. Although they are morally corrupt, have no faith, and have despicable souls, at least they don't hide their evil, but you always pretend to be moral."

Bishop Fu felt a little wronged and said:

"You misunderstood me, I'm just worried about Chen Yun and you. This matter cannot fail casually, and I have dealt with Maen. He is not the kind of character that can be solved simply. Before leaving, he also threatened me with the remaining members of the Salvation Alliance.

"He is very smart, knows what we are worried about."

The inquisitor looked into his eyes and said:

"Then what do you want to do, let me guess…

"I should take you to the scene, so you can take care of Chen Yun, provide me with 'professional' advice, say a few meaningless words to Maen, and finally write your name in the report.

"Right?"

He said innocently:

"Except for the last sentence, they are all my true thoughts, and what I said is not meaningless nonsense. I will sincerely advise him to consider carefully what is good for Chen Yun, and also make her realize what her brother has done.

"I don't need to put the blame on anyone, because we are all righteous.

"We have the same faith."

Enkes snorted coldly:

"Then that's it."

He could hear that voice urging him.

'Kill that sinner immediately, incinerate his body with holy flames, and drive these dirty evils out of the beautiful world.'

His world.
