I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The outcome of the first battle didn't surprise the Federation. It was their most confident match, and their long-hidden secret weapon, Alice, was perfectly suited for it. Her most useful trait as a reality warper was her invincibility among her peers.

The Atlantis camp wasn't particularly surprised by the result either. In fact, this was also their least confident battle. Tier III was the most difficult to create a significant gap, and even if the Gods' Avatar was once powerful, it couldn't wield extraordinary power with a Tier III body.

However, the situation was different for Tier IV and Tier V. By Tier IV, ability users would have quite noticeable differences, and Tier V had top figures like Shenxiao who could face double-digit opponents of the same tier simultaneously.

The Tier V ability users present were also among the best in their tier, and the Sun God could be said to be among the top two or three strongest among all those who challenged Shenxiao. This ancient deity, who had fallen to the peak of Tier V, could steadily suppress Li Hu without any other preconditions, so this Tier V battle was actually their most confident.

But that was only the case without any other conditions. In reality, the Federation had always been researching the Gods, and had many tactics and plans specifically targeting them. The most important of these was naturally the "South Federation Extermination Plan" that Ma En had once heard of. Besides this, there were many pieces of equipment directly used in battle, mostly tactical weapons targeting the special relationship between the Gods and their Avatars.

Finally, there were special weapons specifically targeting the main Gods. The dark clouds currently trying to cover the ocean were an abnormal weather weapon system used to weaken the Sun's influence, and this was just one of the many weapons Li Hu was using.

After Alice killed the Gods' Avatar, everyone's gaze turned to the dark sky that had unknowingly blocked the sun.

Even standing on the coastal stands, they could see clouds everywhere churning and erupting downwards as if impacted, and from time to time, several golden pillars of light would briefly pierce through the clouds, followed by a hoarse "thunder" sound like metal colliding. However, these were just some aftershocks of the battle, and most people on land couldn't see the real battlefield.

"Li Hu is at a disadvantage," Shadow whispered to Ma En. "If he can't achieve anything soon, you should prepare Ivanne for combat."

Ma En didn't respond with telepathy, but he also didn't have much confidence in Li Hu.

Because if he and Alice could both win, then Shenxiao wouldn't have needed him to get involved. Now that Alice had defeated her opponent, Li Hu probably had no chance of winning.

The situation unfolded as Ma En predicted. The frequency of golden light piercing through the dark clouds increased, and then the center of the dark clouds on the sea surface suddenly rippled outwards like the surface of water after a stone was thrown in, and a gale swept up seawater towards the shore.

Then, the expressions of the Tier V ability users present became a little more serious. Lafivin and Miluode stared intently at the same spot, and Shadow seemed to have completely taken his attention away from this body. In their eyes, the battle had entered a critical moment.

After a while, everyone's expressions gradually changed. Lafivin shook his head slightly after withdrawing his gaze, then Miluode's face also showed a hint of relief, while Shadow calmly raised his head.

The next moment, the members in the stands heard a low, solemn thud, and then saw a crack torn open in the center of the dark clouds. Pure golden, dazzling sunlight poured down like a waterfall, and finally the dark clouds began to slowly dissipate from the golden crack.

"It's a pity, he still lost," Shadow sighed softly. "The Sun God is indeed one of the enemies that the Federation needs to pay the most attention to and be wary of. Even with these weapons, it's difficult for Li Hu to defeat him, and luck wasn't on our side this time."

These weapons against the Gods did play a significant role. During his observation, there were several times when it seemed like there was a chance to win, but the Sun God responded to these opportunities with near-perfect poise, without revealing any flaws.

However, although he didn't win this battle, it still accumulated data and experience for the Federation to deal with the Gods, which can help them continue to develop and manufacture other weapons against the Gods.

Moreover, Li Hu didn't use the most dangerous and powerful weapons. It wasn't worth exposing the final means just to increase the odds of winning.

If they could win steadily, the Federation would indeed do so, but with the Sun God prepared in advance, even if Li Hu brought all his weapons, he couldn't guarantee a 100% victory, because those weapons were not originally designed for Li Hu to use.

After the dark clouds completely dissipated, the supreme sun once again ruled the sky, and under their watch, the restored center of the sun spewed out several "sparks," and then a "daytime meteor" dragging flames directly rushed out of the star, precisely falling towards their location, scaring several Federation politicians into taking a few steps back.

But the closer this flaming meteor got to the ground, the slower its speed seemed to become, and it also began to shrink slowly as if it was being extinguished. Before approaching the coast, it completely solidified into a human form, and finally landed steadily on the stands.

Falling like a meteor was a middle-aged man in a black suit, his eyes each reflected the afterimage of the scorching sun, and the heat and light gently brushed over the entire stand, giving all living beings present a warm and comfortable feeling.

The moment he appeared, the Avatar of the God of Flames immediately walked to his side and whispered a few words.

After hearing his words, the Sun God looked up at Shadow:

"Are you ready to prepare for the final challenge?"

As his voice fell, everyone present looked at Ma En and Ivanne, but all the guys who looked at Ivanne were glared back by Lafivin with a cold expression, so they immediately shifted their gazes to Ma En.

Before Ma En could react, Ivanne stepped forward and looked at him with a firm expression and asked:

"Are you ready to fight me?"

Ma En looked at her and said:

"I can start anytime."

Ivanne looked at him sincerely and said:

"Very well, but I want to remind you that this is not a fair fight, because I will not show mercy. The outcome of this battle concerns the predetermined return of my lord. If you don't concede in time when I swing my final sword..."

"I can only kill you."

Ma En also nodded sincerely:

"Thank you for your reminder, rest assured..."

"I won't leave my life here."
