I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Far from Atlantis.

A burning deity was slowly approaching this magnificent city, the most ordinary outer city, the prosperous inner city, the sacred royal city, and the magnificent temple built in the very center, which was only a miniature version of the true temple in the seabed.

This entire city with a three-ring structure was a giant temple, and the so-called temple was actually a device that could transform the power of the ocean and affect the world on a more microscopic time scale, allowing this vast consciousness to present its existence in a "humanized" form.

If this machine could operate smoothly, the will of the ocean that most mortals believed in would appear—in the form of a Rank VI anomaly, which was the extent of what their tiny brains could understand about the ocean.

Just as Divine Firmament couldn't exhaust everything connected to Him and the sun, the human mind, born from the sea, could hardly truly understand and recognize what the ocean as a whole on this planet was. To them, the ocean was closer to boundlessness than vastness.

And this ocean avatar, this anomalous entity, was almost unbeatable by any human, although she had to rely on the temple to maintain her form, which also gave powerful humans like Divine Firmament the opportunity to destroy the temple—that is, if she could successfully get here.

But before she truly touched the ocean, the temple supporting the city would operate and successfully intercept her far away from Atlantis, preventing her from attacking it. If she really insisted on delving deeper with the idea of being an enemy of the ocean…

…she would be killed by the avatar of this great will.

Even the Sun God, in his brief years of greatest power, in that time when he thought he had surpassed eternity, that arrogant and conceited self who would actually commit such an absurd mistake, still held unparalleled reverence for the ocean.

Not only because she was their starting point, but also because he understood better than most mortals what the ocean was. For her, destroying the current human civilization was no different from a few flips for ordinary mortals.

Even the most basic actions were like natural disasters, which was very similar to another great being covering one-sixth of the Earth's surface.

Her actions on this planet could almost be said to be cautious. If she really wanted to destroy something, the power that would erupt would far exceed the imagination of those mortals who had never seen the age of the ocean. The ocean disasters they got to see were like stillness to her.

But the sleeping surface being was different. He would sometimes move his body slightly. The federal government and modern scientists joined forces to fabricate seamless lies to explain this situation, calling it "earthquake."

But even the most terrifying earthquake was only a slight tremor in the sleep of that being, and completely different from the Orlanz life originating from the ocean. This phenomenon was extremely rare and slight for him. The only problem was that his volume was too large.

Just as the ocean didn't want to harm mortals, he didn't really want to move his body, but the terrifying disasters comparable to the attacks of Rank V ability users would still continue to descend on this planet, and there was no way to completely stop it.

This was only because their bodies were too large.

But this was far from comparable to the coming disaster, just like the prophecy Atlantis once received, the ancient god would awaken in the seventh millennium after the prophecy arrived.

This referred to the fact that the surface being was about to end this low-activity state close to what they understood as sleep, and leave this planet to do things that were meaningful to him, but that the Orlanz life and the ocean couldn't understand.

This was also the main problem. The ocean couldn't communicate with this life. Orlanz beings could understand each other and even master the same language because they came from the same vast consciousness, but his way of communication—assuming that there was such a concept as communication for him—must have surpassed their sensory systems and understanding.

They might not even be aware of the existence of that "communication," just as mortals couldn't read minds, creatures without eyes couldn't see colors, creatures without ears couldn't hear sounds, and even more difficult to overcome than this.

Any form of mutual communication was impossible for the ocean and him, so she couldn't persuade him to leave this planet gently, which was destined to cause a major blow to the life forms that originated from her and had evolved for a long time.

Although there had been similar disasters before, they were often caused by internal struggles among these lives. The fall of most lives actually proved and symbolized the power of a few lives, but this time it was not her creation that was going to destroy civilization.

The ocean, who didn't want to see this scene, naturally wanted to keep him asleep, until some of the lives she created once again mastered the ability to resist this disaster. They could do it a long time ago, and they might also have a way to do it in the future.

But now was a weak era for all living beings. The gods were imprisoned, the human empire had only re-emerged for a few thousand years, the Gunas also leaped towards the future as a whole "not long ago," and the dragons and their subspecies had long been almost extinct. The remaining groups that had a way to offset the disasters brought about by his awakening were all in seclusion and would not pay attention to this matter at all.

Now was their weakest era, so the ocean let Atlantis trigger His defensive measures, and that was why He imitated the ocean's creations to create those half-alive, half-dead sea tribes.

What the ocean wanted to do was to make him realize that there was danger around, and now was not a good time to wake up, but the problem was that Atlantis couldn't really pose a threat to him, so it had to ensure as much as possible that he couldn't determine how dangerous it was outside.

The sea tribes' impact on the Atlantis defense line was a test of this defensive measure. The defense mechanism was determining the timing for this great being to re-activate, and with the help of the ocean itself, the suppression was successful for a long time.

Until now, as the ocean calculated, he would wake up in this millennium. The dangerous environment jointly created by Atlantis and the ocean would be seen through as a lie, and they would no longer be able to hold on.

Because if they continued to fight against him, these sea tribes would engulf the entire civilized world.

So he thought of a way to "solve the problem once and for all."

After the Fire God fully understood this plan, he raised a rather sharp question. They wanted to use this being to hold back Divine Firmament, but would doing so be too risky? If they couldn't control it, wouldn't these things destroy the entire world?

Fortunately, this possibility would not exist in reality.

Because Divine Firmament's characteristics could perfectly counter this defensive mechanism, because these sea tribes were not living things at all, but a complex system for detecting whether the surrounding environment was suitable for awakening, and it was also a system that could be predicted, or rather, prophesied.

Most importantly, the result of this being's awakening would be the end of the world—which was the situation Divine Firmament least wanted to see. She didn't even need to understand it to instinctively know how to "appease" this giant and make him fall asleep.

These sea tribes were likely to grow in battle with any living being, and because he was a great life with a different form from them, they had no way to understand and predict his reaction with their own soul and consciousness structure, which meant that they were almost impossible to find the right way to keep him asleep. This was too difficult for Orlanz beings who were so different from him.

Just like a creature without a sensory system had to understand color.

But Divine Firmament, who was also an Orlanz life, was an exception.

Because she didn't need to understand at all—as long as there was this possibility, she could see it with those eyes that transcended time.

With the ocean's own intervention, she could make him forever maintain a delicate balance with this giant. As long as this balance was broken, it meant the overthrow of human civilization, then she would never be able to leave here.

And her terrifying savior power would turn into the most reliable prison in the world.

And what he had to do now was very simple.

That was to persuade the ocean itself.

The Sun God slowly landed in front of the temple in the center of the Atlantis royal city, and the moment he landed, Milode led the other two Wise Kings into the temple, looking at this uninvited guest and said:

"Why didn't you say hello to me in advance?"

The Sun God said in a gentle tone:

"I'm worried that you will blame me for the victory of the Federation.

"In fact, I am also a little ashamed of this."

Milode smiled:

"I can distinguish between allies and enemies. In this matter, you provided us with help. I can see this clearly. Even if you didn't come to visit Atlantis to give us advice, our results would not be better.

"Those land dwellers who are unwilling to fight against the sea tribes with us are guilty."

And He was also an old friend of their gods.

The Sun God nodded:

"However, the current situation is not much worse than your direct conflict with them, because even if you really directly fought the Federation, you would not be able to achieve victory. You can only ensure that neither side succeeds, but this is already a failure for you.

"After all, you are the civilization living next to the deep trench, but in fact, you don't have to be discouraged, because according to my understanding of the Federation, they will definitely be willing to provide you with help in the end, but only when they have no other choice.

"And the main casualties will definitely be borne by you, and the Federation will take the opportunity to weaken what they see as the most threatening point—your large number of conventional anomaly armies, so the plan to try a duel is indeed a good way.

"It's just a pity that the Federation is indeed a difficult enemy to defeat."

Milode also expressed his agreement:

"You have done your best, and to be honest, I originally wanted to find you to discuss the next thing. You know the dangers of the sea tribes better than those land dwellers, so I am wondering if you are willing to provide us with some help."

The Sun God nodded:

"Of course, although my power here has been severely depleted, I am also willing to make a promise on behalf of the gods, as long as I can find a way to provide you with help, I will immediately put it into practice.

"In fact, I came here to discuss the problem of the sea tribes with your gods. They are a problem for the whole world. If we wait and see them break free from their restraints, it will be the end of all our living beings."

Milode nodded happily when he saw this:

"Sure enough, you are different from those land dwellers."

These gods had a different perspective from them. These long-lived beings were not as short-sighted as those land dwellers. The Sun God's statement perfectly matched Milode's original expectations of the land dwellers. He originally thought that those people could realize that these sea tribes were not just a threat to Atlantis.

The Sun God said with a smile:

"Of course we are different, but in fact, the difference between us and them is not because of the difference in race. There is no essential difference between the federal people and you Atlanteans, and the thinking structure of our gods actually originates from them.

"The problem here is actually the special organization of the Federation. The ideas it presents transcend human nature, turning those souls that are either kind, mediocre, or dirty into cold parts, showing the evil essence of human beings like a machine.

"But these are not important."

Milode nodded:

"They have made a decision."

The Sun God also nodded in agreement, then requested with a gentle expression:

"Can you let me be alone with your gods for a while?"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Milode no longer maintained his vigilance and directly withdrew from the temple together with the other two Wise Kings, not worrying at all about what the Sun God would do here, after all…

…there was also the god they believed in here.

"I already understand your intention." The flowing seawater transformed into a humanoid female figure in the temple, "This idea is good, but the price is the entire Atlantis. They are all my children.

"And they are all good children."

She was the gathering of all goodness.

The Sun God said calmly:

"Yes, this is a sad decision, but I believe it is worth it."

A human male body appeared behind him:

"There are still seven hundred years before the final day. I see ambition and greed in you. Your motivation is not to keep him asleep, but to eliminate the most threatening enemy to you.

"You want to kill my countless children seven hundred years in advance."

The Sun God nodded:

"That's right, but motivation is not important. What we have to do is the same.

"If we miss this opportunity, we may only be waiting to die in the next seven hundred years. The Federation may not let Divine Firmament continue to live in the way we expect. She is now in an unprecedented predicament, and she may not be able to survive successfully.

"And for her, there may be more urgent crises to deal with, and may even pay the price of her life for it. I can guarantee that this possibility is quite high, and those doomsdays are just a short rest for you.

"We all know this is insignificant compared to you, and…

"We are also your children."

Two ocean avatars slowly revealed thoughtful expressions, then they slowly dissipated and sprinkled all over the ground, and then a spacious body without gender characteristics rose again in front of the Sun God—enough to accommodate both characteristics.

Then He said:

"I agree."

All evil also originated from Him.
