I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Upon hearing Ma En's description, Zasna showed a clear interest in the so-called Divine Firmament Walker he mentioned. However, what truly caught her attention was Ma En's earlier statement that this human ability user had once fought against the gods and seemed to have achieved considerable success.

For the Titans, nothing is more important than the gods, even long after the end of the war. If you were to grab a few Titans on the street and ask them about their views on the gods, they would undoubtedly express their anger and hostility towards them with great intensity.

Hostility towards the gods is deeply rooted in the Titans' bloodline and culture. Thanks to thorough education, all Titans are well aware of what the gods did to them in the past and what they intend to do in the future.

They were born to defeat the gods, and the gods understand this, so there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between them.

This is why most Titans hold such views towards humans nowadays, because they figured out long ago what level they needed to reach to have a chance of defeating those dangerous beings that their ancestors failed to defeat, and what price they would have to pay.

"I'm quite curious about something," Zasna asked casually. "What exactly happened when the Divine Firmament you mentioned went to the Southern Federation and forced the gods to retreat? How did she do it? And why did she do it?"

Ma En asked:

"Do you know about reality benders?"

Zasna revealed a surprised expression. In fact, these few words were enough to answer her question, but various new questions immediately surfaced in her mind. Reality benders are often problems, not answers.

"So she's a reality bender?" Zasna inquired with amazement. "What kind of reality bender is she?"

This was a somewhat vague question, but it was particularly appropriate when used on reality benders.

Naturally, Ma En answered her question very sincerely, as he had anticipated:

"She is a kind and righteous person, or rather, she is a kind and righteous reality bender, and I think you would certainly agree with the view held by most of us humans—that the gods are beings who stand on the opposite side of justice."

"And that is why she wanted to force the gods to retreat. I did not witness this personally, but I later learned that the gods had a good opportunity to expand their power in the Southern Federation at the time, so Divine Firmament went to the Southern Federation alone to face the gods by herself."

"Moreover, she took the opportunity to weaken the gods' power in the Southern Federation. I think she represented our human hostility towards the gods."

This happened two years before Ma En was discharged from the hospital. In fact, he only recently learned the details. If Divine Firmament had not gone to the Southern Federation, the gods' mid-level forces might be several times stronger than they are now, and their high-end forces would definitely be slightly improved as well.

Perhaps this is also why the gods later helped the Federation imprison Divine Firmament even knowing the risks. They did not stand by and watch Divine Firmament and the Federation, these two human forces, fight each other, but stood on the opposite side of Divine Firmament.

In fact, when Ma En looked back at the past, he also noticed that Divine Firmament's activity in the past ten years or so had profoundly changed the world. Without her existence, the world would definitely be a different place, and the impact in recent years has been increasing.

This is also likely the reason why the Federation finally couldn't hold back. Even though Divine Firmament didn't seem to be able to threaten the Federation's existence, they didn't dare to trust their rational judgment. They were afraid that it would be too late if they waited any longer.

"But your rulers captured this reality bender?" Zasna's tone carried a hint of doubt, as if asking whether the current rulers of humanity had any brains at all.

Ma En began to speak half-truths:

"That's right, but they did this only to achieve deeper cooperation with Divine Firmament. They do have many completely opposite views, but on the matter of the gods, they definitely have the same view, that the gods are a common threat to the Federation and humanity."

"Once they truly cooperate fully, they will definitely be able to threaten the existence of the gods. And since you Titans have opinions about the gods, you can completely cooperate with the Federation to deal with the gods. I have also read your books. You should have weapons suitable for fighting against the gods, right?"

"You don't even have to actually do anything, just provide the Federation and Divine Firmament with a few handy weapons."

After Ma En finished saying what he had planned, he quietly looked at Zasna, waiting for her reaction.

What he most anticipated was naturally Zasna showing a positive attitude towards this kind of cooperation, because that would mean that he, this ability user standing on the opposite side of the gods, would also have the opportunity to obtain the assistance of these Titans.

However, Zasna's expression was slightly troubled by Ma En's proposal, which was very reasonable as a human.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to confess to Ma En:

"You're right, the Titans do have weapons to deal with the gods, and to be honest, we can even completely kill the gods, but the situation may be somewhat different from what you imagine. We cannot cooperate with the Federation or other human forces."

"You also know that we will eliminate humans who enter here. I told you at the time that this was because you might be minions of the gods. This is indeed the reason why we do this, but it is not the only reason. We do this also to prevent you from knowing a cruel fact."

"Even during the most prosperous period of the ancient Titan Empire, they did not find a way to solve the gods. We have not surpassed that time, so we are not able to do what they could not do, except that we lack a small limiting condition."

"What the ancient Titans had to do was to kill the gods without destroying humanity."

She stopped here.

Ma En's expression also became serious. Zasna's implication was already very clear. Yes, solving the gods is particularly difficult for the human race, but the difficulty for other races is different, because they only need to destroy humanity.

Hearing this, Ma En's expression became as bad as Zasna had expected, and soon he seemed to have thought of something, and then he showed a wry smile to Zasna:

"After hearing what you said, I have some doubts about whether I can really leave here."

But Zasna suddenly laughed:

"It's scary, right, but you don't have to be afraid, because what I just said is the current situation, but it's not what I think."

Ma En showed a puzzled expression:

"What do you mean?"

Zasna looked at him and said with a smile:

"I said that Ninth City is the most human-friendly city, because my mother—the ruler here—is a pacifist, and this is what I came to talk to you about today. I need you to help me and my mother…"

"To save humanity."

My computer crashed, I'm convinced.
