I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

#433 - 424. Pressing forward

Seraan stared expressionlessly at the dozens of "monsters" standing opposite him. In front of them were several piles of bright red, viscous liquid, and the remaining monsters looked particularly terrified.

This was because the man facing them had not only melted several of their "immortal" kin, but he had also not entered through normal means, appearing directly in a burst of dazzling sunlight.

The entire world was under His illumination.

"Now, will you answer my question?" Seraan said calmly. "I can see that you have a strong fear of him. You can try to lie to me, but the only result will be that I melt you into blood.

"There are no lies in the sunlight."

An elderly figure who appeared to be a leader stepped out from the group of beastmen. He trembled as he humbly lowered his head to Seraan, and then said in a rather fearful tone:

"I have personally witnessed him come here twice…"

The old beastman recounted the legendary deeds of a human named Ma En when he entered the underground levels twice, his voice filled with trepidation. In the beginning, when Ma En first entered, the order here was very different from what it is now, and most of the beastmen here had not truly witnessed that era. At that time, a group controlled this place with some kind of strict rules.

Initially, Ma En strictly adhered to their rules when he first entered, but because he did not commit any errors that would cause him to remain here forever, the other beastmen wanted him to participate in some kind of ritual.

Ma En, upon learning of this, outwardly agreed but managed to delay the process. Not long after he determined that there was no other way to prevent this, most of the beastmen in power at the time were silently killed in their sleep.

Some of the more unfortunate beastmen woke up in time, but they were tragically killed in direct combat by Ma En and his two allies. At the time, Ma En displayed terrifying dominance in direct combat. The old beastman suspected that if Ma En hadn't wanted to avoid injury, he probably could have directly taken them all on.

Even so, the Ma En described by the old beastman didn't seem to be above Tier III. What made him terrifying were the dozens of distinct but interconnected dangerous techniques based on the same ability.

This event also changed the structure of the underground levels. They had thought they would never see that fiend again, until a few years ago when they saw Ma En walk in here again.

On that occasion, he also demonstrated his power on other levels. According to the information they had gathered, Ma En at that time also possessed the power of a Tier III apex. However, possibly because his opponents were not strong enough, the power he displayed seemed to be slightly weaker than before.

But there was a problem.

The beastmen here kept records of time, and when Seraan entered the underground levels, he made a point of noting the time dilation between here and the outside world. If his calculations were correct…

Ma En first entered here in the third month of his hospitalization, and the second time was on the eve of his discharge.

In other words, Ma En had remained at the level of a Tier III ability user for these past few years, and it even seemed like his combat skills had declined somewhat?

These beastmen were not knowledgeable enough to notice, but after hearing their detailed descriptions, he could roughly deduce how strong Ma En was during the battles and analyze his condition.

In Seraan's view, Ma En's condition during his second entry didn't seem like he was restraining his power, but rather that he genuinely lacked many of the combat skills he had during his first entry.

Furthermore, it was unlikely that Ma En was deliberately concealing his strength, because if he could do that, he would definitely erase all traces of his presence, just like he did in the outside world.

Since he didn't do that, it meant that they didn't have time to deal with Viktor's creation's countermeasures, or for some other reason, they ultimately didn't deal with the traces of his activities in the underground levels.

After all, not everyone has the ability to freely appear in various parts of the world like he does. Seraan was only able to carry a relatively large amount of power around in the outside world because of this characteristic of his.

Therefore, in Seraan's view, Ma En's two appearances here definitely reflected something. This was a flaw left by him and his organization for some reason, and it was his most important clue.

Ma En's abnormality must be related to the mysterious organization he joined. Perhaps it was because of their future plans, but determining those specific circumstances would be too difficult, and he didn't need to know.

During this conversation, Seraan had confirmed one thing.

That was that Ma En was not alone when he came here the first time, and the person who was with him was also the target he highly suspected—the girl named Ning Changkong who was discharged from the hospital almost at the same time as Ma En.

After obtaining this information, Seraan did not stay here any longer. His body directly emitted sunlight and slowly merged into the air, before reappearing near Ning Changkong's residence.

But before he could take his next action, he realized something was wrong.

The Viktor Sanatorium had the power of that organization.

He never expected that even he would be so influenced by it. When he was in the Viktor Sanatorium, he couldn't even detect the existence of that power. He had to get away from there to "recall" its strangeness.

Fortunately, his preliminary work was well done, the magic was clever enough, and he acted discreetly enough that the organization didn't notice his arrival, otherwise…

He would have lost one incarnation dedicated to carrying out secret missions.

Seraan shook his head slightly. These years of leisurely living had made him too lax. After all, as the strongest deity, he was almost impossible to kill, but this situation was very special.

This mysterious organization had already killed a deity.

From now on, his work must continue to be cautious and careful. In fact, there was no way to prevent this accident, because if he wanted to investigate this organization, he couldn't avoid entering the Viktor Sanatorium.

But unless there were special circumstances, he would never return to that place that was suspected to be the mysterious organization's base.

After a simple self-reflection and strategic adjustment, Seraan approached the building from a distance and quietly observed Ning Changkong and her family, who were living inside.

Seraan felt a little surprised, because this Ning Changkong was actually an extremely rare seer, and she was actually living an ordinary life and not taking advantage of her powers at all.

He had seen many seers. These guys were all very important figures in their respective eras. The very few who had no ambition were also leaders in some special field, and because of the fanaticism for the truth rooted in their souls, they could never be content with living an ordinary life.

They were born to be leaders and guides.

But Seraan immediately understood why this girl was living such an ordinary life, because that mysterious organization had also taken action against her with their memory-erasing abilities.

They stifled the seer's future and erased her originally magnificent destiny.

This mysterious organization was treating the threats in their eyes in a twisted and gentle way.
