I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

After refusing Hell's invitation, Mann returned to the Bureau immediately, leaving only the little devil there to continue searching for information on the Dark Sun Great Demon. However, the information he obtained through the Controller was already sufficient for him, and he wasn't lacking intelligence anymore.

What he needed now was a way to defeat or appease the Archangel, and after retreating to the Bureau, he began to consider how to deal with the current situation. Mann could hardly think of any way to accomplish this on his own.

Actually, he wasn't without options. For example, there were the Titan ruins he had explored before. Now that the Archangel was allied with the gods of the Southern Federation, there might be something inside that could help him. If he was lucky enough, he might even find some versatile high-level anomalous entities.

However, the latter possibility was unlikely, and considering that the gods couldn't leave the Southern Federation and the real mastermind was the Archangel, the Titan ruins were definitely not his first choice.

Therefore, Mann temporarily didn't execute this plan he had considered long ago, and instead refocused his attention on Hell, which he had just left. Although Mann had rejected Hell's proposal, he was still thinking about how to use the power of Hell to help him overcome this crisis.

He wasn't thinking about making a deal with Hell to become a demon, but rather about joining forces with those demons who hated angels. He wouldn't need to pay a high price to cooperate with them; for most demons, the reason of being enemies with angels was enough.

Of course, those demons with the ability to help wouldn't just listen to a few words from him and take action. He had to show them the possibility of truly threatening the angels, and that was another difficult point.

Moreover, he was dealing with the extremely dangerous Archangel. There weren't many demons with the ability and courage to help him, and he would have to spend some time finding a suitable Great Demon.

This was also the second task he left for the little devil: to find a suitable partner to join forces with.

However, this plan couldn't take effect immediately. In fact, Mann had considered other things, such as trying to appease the war through Chen Yun, or finding a way to appease those angels.

But in the end, these ideas were abandoned after careful consideration. It seemed that he could only place his hope on joining forces with the demons, in the hope of turning defeat into victory in the battle against the angels.

However, the actual situation was not like that. In fact, he had another choice in the face of such a dilemma.

Although doing so might bring some other troubles, considering how dangerous and difficult the enemy he was facing was, and the uneasiness lingering in his heart, Mann decided to do so anyway.

In fact, what really prompted him to do this was the vague sense of unease. Even though the current answer seemed perfect, Mann always felt that something was missing.

The motivation seemed reasonable, but it was a little off. The cautious explanation was also reasonable, but it was still a little off.

He had to dispel the doubts in his heart before he could deal with the current predicament with peace of mind.

Therefore, Mann returned here again—the destroyed Atlantis.

In the distance, there were still collapsed buildings everywhere, and there were also flesh structures like giant trees. These black flesh, which looked like trees, formed a forest in the seabed, and the crowns of the trees surrounded the city. The last time Mann came, he could see rotten corpses hanging on the uppermost "branches."

But when he appeared here this time, he noticed that these black trees, which were actually giant sea creature tentacles, had all lost their vitality, and many of them had even fallen down and shattered into pieces.

And now Atlantis was extremely silent, completely different from the deep silence when the sea creatures were all hiding in the gutters, because occasionally there were traces of ordinary marine life around.

It's just that all the sea creatures were gone.

Mann, who had transformed into a seawater whale, traveled through Atlantis roughly, using his body to perceive the corners that could not be directly seen with the naked eye, confirming that there were indeed no sea creatures here anymore.

This was the change after Shenxiao had come.

The reason why Mann came to Atlantis was self-evident. The decision he made was to seek her help from the bottom of the sea. After all, the contract that the Federation signed with him required that he not provide assistance to Shenxiao, but there were no restrictions on the contrary.

But doing so would indeed bring trouble to himself. After all, if the Federation learned about this, they would definitely suspect that he had violated the contract or circumvented the contract in some way. His contact with Shenxiao would definitely have many doubts in their eyes. In fact, these suspicions of theirs were correct in most cases.

Strictly speaking, probably only this time that all his contacts with Shenxiao had nothing for the Federation to worry about and pay attention to. Every time he met her before, he was actually communicating secretly.

However, this little trouble was nothing compared to the problems he was facing now and the unease in his heart.

This was the best choice he could make.

Mann briefly checked the surrounding situation, and then controlled the giant whale made of seawater to swim flexibly out of the ruins of Atlantis, and instead headed towards the deep trench where they had established a defense line, and when approaching the deep trench, he reorganized the controlled giant whale into a more flexible shark, and then plunged into the abyss.

As he dived down, the surrounding light began to dim, but Mann didn't feel any inconvenience or discomfort because of this, because he immediately and naturally observed his surroundings with a brand new sense.

Then his world became more "bright" than ever before.

Mann kept swimming down in the silent deep trench, never encountering any sea creatures along the way, but encountered several deep-sea creatures that looked very much like sea creatures, and there were no traces of any sea creatures ever existing. According to Ellie, these sea creatures should have nests in the deep trench, but this was also very reasonable, because their nests were essentially other forms of sea creatures, after all, they were not real creatures.

When Mann approached the seabed, he finally sensed something different.

Before he really reached his destination, he felt the existence of three living things, and then Mann began to disperse the surrounding seawater and slowly revealed his human form again, and then slowly landed on the seabed.

At this time, he also saw the scene in the distance.

A small house standing on the seabed, a long spear inserted vertically into the soil...

And the person sitting cross-legged on the ground.
