I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

"Fall back!" the girl's voice echoed.

The two wind god devotees, still locked in combat, finally reacted, and without hesitation, they transformed into pure gusts of wind, creating distance between themselves and their opponents before reappearing behind the girl in the sky.

As they retreated, Xiao Lie and Xiao Ying, looking somewhat disheveled, also took a couple of steps back. Throughout the battle, they had been almost constantly at a disadvantage, their experience and skill perfectly suppressed by their opponents.

However, they hadn't suffered any injuries either.

Because even with poor technique, the power flowing through their bodies was simply too immense.

The girl landed a dozen meters in front of Mann, a look of heartache on her face.

The chosen one she had painstakingly found had died just like that. Although he occasionally disgusted her, she didn't know how long she would have to search to find an equally capable replacement.

This would mean at least two months without proper sleep.

She should have controlled the chosen one herself, but she not only disliked the trouble, but also found these bodies somewhat repulsive; by her standards, they were a bit dirty.

Moreover, she hadn't expected her chosen one to be killed so quickly. Even after watching the entire battle from the sidelines, she still couldn't figure out how he had managed to kill him so fast.

Did he use some kind of specialized countermeasure? Or did he have some hidden tool? Even if that old fool was careless and didn't connect his body with the city, he shouldn't have died so quickly.

"Are you here to provoke me?" the girl asked, tilting her head slightly.

Mann replied with a detached expression:

"No, I'm here to warn you."

The girl frowned:

"Is that some kind of threat? Do you think you can leave here easily? Perhaps killing my chosen one has given you some inexplicable confidence, but let me tell you…"

"They can only exert a fraction of their bodies' and this city's power, but I'm different. I can control the entire city and their bodies simultaneously. Compared to me, they're just mortals."

"You're standing before a true god."

Mann didn't react to her threat at all:

"No, I'm here to warn and help you."

The girl narrowed her eyes, slightly displeased:

"Do you take me for a fool? Is killing my chosen one your way of helping me?"

Mann said matter-of-factly:

"I gave him a chance."

Three chances, in fact.

The girl knew he was right, but it only made her angrier. There were countless more polite and gentle ways they could have talked, and she didn't believe he couldn't think of them.

His only goal in doing this was to provoke her, and now he was saying he was here to help her.

Did he think he was fooling a child?

The anger of being awakened and mocked surged into her heart, puffing up her cheeks.

But she wasn't trying to be cute.

"Show a little respect when facing a god."

Lethal divine winds spewed from her mouth, howling towards Mann.

But these terrifying winds, capable of eroding all things, vanished silently as they approached Mann, as if swallowed by some mysterious force, even before she could cast her magic.

Mann stood his ground and continued:

"The Federation and the Fire God are going to join forces to eliminate you. I obtained their plan. Without my warning, you will soon be dealt with, and the entire Southern Federation will be under their control."

"That's not a sight I want to see."

Seeing that her tentative attack to vent her anger had no effect, the girl gave a mocking smile:

"So, I should thank you for killing my chosen one, making it easier for me to be dealt with? You don't need to worry about such things. Even if the Federation and the Fire God come here, they won't be able to harm me in the slightest."

"Even if they're strong enough to defeat me here, I have a way to escape."

She said this with great confidence. Not only was she confident in repelling almost any opponent here, but even if the Federation found a way to threaten her, she could escape with the city.

She and all her chosen ones, along with the city, would transform into an eternal storm.

No one could catch the wind.

Mann calmly continued to explain:

"Also, the Titans have joined the cooperation."

The girl's expression changed upon hearing this, because Seraphine, who had fallen not long ago, should have been subjected to some kind of attack from the Titans; they had also participated in that battle.

No human could defeat a god, so she hadn't taken any of Mann's warnings to heart. Not to mention she was absolutely certain she could escape.

Even if she couldn't escape, it wouldn't matter if all her chosen ones were killed.

As a god, she wouldn't be affected in any way. She was a being of human will, and wind was a natural phenomenon that almost all humans could feel.

Therefore, unless the human population reached near extinction, her existence couldn't be threatened.

The worst-case scenario would only be that her influence over the Southern Federation would be restricted.

But the Titans were different.

They really had a way to kill her. Even if it wasn't an eternal death, they could erase her current divinity and seal her. Although the Wind God wouldn't die…

But she would truly die.

She just liked to sleep, but she never thought about entering eternal slumber.

"Even so…" Her tone became slightly more serious and gentle, "You shouldn't have come to me in such a provocative way, and you shouldn't have killed my chosen one. That seems to contradict your stated purpose."

"If you can't give me a good enough reason, I'll have to ask you to leave."

"After all, in the worst-case scenario, I can cooperate with the Federation."

Anyway, she was the God of Freedom, not some God of Rebellion. Cooperating freely with the Federation was also a form of freedom, but her sleep time might be reduced a lot.

The Federation had already proposed a cooperation plan to her.

And the reduced sleep time was the real reason she refused.

But if this matter threatened her life, then sleeping a little less was acceptable, provided what he said was true. Next, she would see how he reacted to her words.

This was also a test.

Mann smiled:

"You guessed right, I indeed don't want to see you cooperate with the Federation. A good attempt. Then I'll explain why I killed your chosen one, because it has no impact on what's about to happen."

"Because I will protect you from the threat of the Federation and the Fire God, and…"

"I will rule the Southern Federation."

The girl was so angry that she laughed, glaring at Mann and asking:

"What do you mean you'll protect me and rule? Who do you think you are?"

"Good question." Mann nodded, and then all the flesh on his shoulders burned away at an extremely fast rate, and his entire neck directly dissolved, and then…

The night faded.

The god with the star head announced:

"I am the new Sun God."

The girl stood obediently and answered in a faint voice:

"Okay."
