I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

He lied to the shadow.

After Sierra signed the contract before falling asleep, the Sun God, an intangible entity existing in human consciousness, was successfully contained by the Bureau of Abnormal Control, and Mann obtained one of the strongest powers in the world.

Of course, the power used through the Bureau of Abnormal Control couldn't compare to the original Sierra.

Simply put, the solar power in Sierra and Mann could not be the same. Sierra could use this power in various incredible ways and even resurrect himself with ease.

If it hadn't been for the heavy suppression from the solar eclipse and the ritual during the battle, and the surprise attack by Mann, Sierra could have shown Mann various stronger and more terrifying ways to use his abilities.

Besides that, Sierra also possessed various ancient knowledge and secrets, and had many resources and allies to use, which were not contained by the Bureau of Abnormal Control along with the contract.

This didn't actually have much impact on Sierra's direct combat ability. Although he also mastered many Tier V-level spells, they were nothing compared to his own power.

But this part of the power was not meaningless.

In fact, it gave Sierra influence outside the Southern Federation.

When Mann was Sierra's opponent, he didn't feel particularly strongly that Sierra was a god confined within the Southern Federation, otherwise he wouldn't have had any need to make peace with him at the time.

If that were the case, he could have just hidden outside the Southern Federation.

At that time, Mann wouldn't have been truly safe unless he hid in the Bureau of Abnormal Control.

Perhaps the gods were restricted within the Southern Federation, but Sierra could reach the entire world.

This was also the second problem with the Sun God's power: the inability to leave the Southern Federation. This problem was almost overshadowed by Sierra's strength in other areas when he possessed it, but it was still fatal.

And in this respect, Mann and Sierra weren't that different.

Because although the solar power he was currently using couldn't leave the Southern Federation, the other powers of the Bureau of Abnormal Control could go to the entire world and try to lure enemies to the Southern Federation.

Therefore, the second flaw didn't really matter to Mann.

His real difference from Sierra was that the Bureau of Abnormal Control couldn't allow him to maintain Sierra's state forever.

Mann had just tried it, and even with his Tier V-level mental power, he could only maintain the Sun God's form for about ten to twenty minutes. In fact, a normal V-5 level ability shouldn't be so short.

The reason for such a short time was also very simple: the true strength of the Sun God's power was not V-5.

If the seal left by the Titans was suddenly lifted, then Sierra would directly return to the VI-5 level, and this power that Mann could only use for a few minutes would also be raised to the VI-5 level.

So, if he wanted to become stronger again, the thing he needed to do was very simple.

That was to break the Titan's curse that had trapped the gods for countless years.

And now his long-term goal also included breaking the curse, which was an obvious way to break through to Tier VI.

However, the curse that could trap the gods for many years was not so easy to lift—even with the premise that he had the Bureau of Abnormal Control, after all, Sierra must have found power approaching this level.

But under the unreasonable power of the Bureau of Abnormal Control, he did have a slight chance to lift the curse.

However, compared to this most difficult goal, there was an easier way to break free from the shackles, which was to use Sierra's power to defeat other V-5 level abnormal powerhouses in ten to twenty minutes.

This sounded incredible at first, after all, he had so many restrictions and was far from being comparable to the original Sierra, and it was impossible to defeat other power users of the same level.

Mann, who had just tried Sierra's abilities in the Bureau of Abnormal Control, also thought so.

But when Mann walked out of the ruins and looked at the Tier V-level power users watching him, he suddenly had an extremely subtle feeling, as if Sierra's warmth still remained in his chest, and he felt something...

"Arrogance."

Ten minutes was enough.

That was the thought that appeared in his mind when he saw most of the power users.

As long as he used the Sun God's power, he could solve most of the Tier V-level power users present in ten minutes, and when Mann saw those power users of the same level as Sierra, he didn't feel any pressure.

What replaced it was eagerness to try.

If he could obtain suitable restraining abilities and create a suitable battlefield, he might have a 20-30% chance of defeating these powerhouses in ten minutes.

And only in the Southern Federation, no one could kill "him" in these ten minutes, which meant that as long as he was in the Southern Federation, he could guarantee that he would always live, and he could also rest through the Bureau of Abnormal Control if he encountered danger.

So, with both the Bureau of Abnormal Control and the Sun God's power, he could completely start trying to find ways to imprison power users of the same level, so that he could truly become a complete V-5 level power user.

Maybe the shadow in front of him was a suitable choice...

No! How could he think like this?

Just as this idea completely occupied Mann's mind, he suddenly pulled the reins of his thoughts, and then he immediately realized his abnormality. This arrogant idea should not have appeared in his mind.

Had he already been affected by it just by using the Sun God's power for a few minutes?

This was the idea that the lofty sun would have.

And after experiencing this kind of thinking, Mann immediately remembered that when he came into contact with Sierra, a similar arrogance permeated his bones, but Sierra suppressed it at the time.

After realizing that this influence was not irresistible, Mann also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he also thought of the various problems he had just overlooked.

He wasn't even using Sierra's power now, how could he correctly judge the specific strength of these power users of the same level? And even if this judgment was true, he shouldn't think so arrogantly.

In fact, Mann also felt that his judgment might have overestimated himself, but it was not particularly far from the real situation. After all, Sierra, whom he had just defeated with difficulty, had far more restrictions than he did now, but even so, Sierra was so difficult to deal with.

God's Firmament had already proven the gap between power users of the same level, and among the thirteen challengers who were qualified to participate in that battle, Sierra was definitely one of the best.

Now he was indeed confident in dealing with most of the power users who had not reached V-5, and he also had some chance of winning against certain power users of the same level who could be specifically targeted and restrained, and it was also difficult to be killed by power users of the same level.

But it was definitely not so easy for him to imprison and contain power users of the same level. He had to wait for special opportunities like the one he had just faced with Sierra again, and although he could rely on the Sun God's power to not fear death.

But after he survived in this way for the first time, he would also pay a huge price. He would no longer be able to move freely in his current identity, and each time he entered reality, he would have to control it within ten minutes, and he could only move within the Southern Federation.

So if he really wanted to attack someone, he had to do a good job of keeping it secret.

Things were not that simple at all.

Of course, now he did have a last resort that he could use to overturn the table when necessary.

And simply killing most of the power users below V-5 was not difficult for him now, and if he had suitable abnormal power, he would also have the opportunity to kill or even imprison other power users of the same level.

After suppressing the arrogance from nowhere, Mann continued what he had just said:

"By the way, I also have to thank the Federation for its support of the Secret Alliance this time, if it weren't for you..."

Just then, holy light and falling feathers appeared between them.
