I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The shadow on the platform narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Finally..."

The other Tier 5 ability users also perked up. The previous exchanges had proven that none of them could suppress the other. Neither Mann nor Ivana could rely solely on their respective advantages to slowly accumulate a chance of winning. They were two evenly matched opponents.

They all knew that the next stage would reveal who was superior.

However, the federal politicians and Atlantean royalty had not yet realized that the situation had changed. Tang Xueluan simply felt that Mann and Ivana's previous exchanges had not been successful, and did not realize that they both had the opportunity to eliminate their opponent.

The woman, unable to sense anything unusual, asked curiously:

"I heard that Mann refused the Reformist's invitation."

The shadow replied nonchalantly:

"He did refuse, but the situation is uncertain. Perhaps the Reformists can offer him conditions he can't refuse. However, that will be a matter for them to discuss among themselves."

He knew very well the purpose of Tang Xueluan's question.

As expected, Tang Xueluan revealed a curious expression:

"So, this matter has nothing to do with you?"

The shadow nodded:

"I am only responsible for introducing Mann to them. What truly matters to me is the battle that is currently taking place."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Tang Xueluan looked down at Mann, who was approaching Ivana:

"What is the current situation?"

The shadow also turned his head to look back:

"Ivana knows some very powerful divine spells. She is the direct disciple of the strongest divine spellcaster today. However, against an opponent like Mann, using divine spells normally is not an easy task for her. She must take risks.

"And she is also very decisive."

These were opportunities for both of them.

After a few leaps, Mann finally arrived in front of Ivana. The purple magical light began to redistribute to defense. Then, he tightly gripped the spear with both hands, concentrating all his strength on this weapon that could pierce the power of Heaven.

Two scorching flame swords, trailing the holy flames of Heaven, were crossed in front of her, forming two swaying diagonal lines. They transformed into a burning chasm, completely isolating Mann's Saint-Slaying Spear from Ivana's body.

While the double swords formed a defensive line, the golden wings around her waist contracted. Each open feather reflected a sharp, cold light. Just looking at them, one could imagine the scene of them tearing apart a throat. However, their current task was simply to block the approach of the spear.

The hard spear, in Mann's hands, drew a simple and unadorned arc towards the double swords and wings that formed the trench. Under Ivana's control, they lightly collided with the spear at a rather beautiful and precise angle, gently deflecting its heavy attack.

In Mann's hands, the Saint-Slaying Spear was like a giant python hunting a falcon, constantly twisting its body in an attempt to pounce on its opponent. However, the falcon, with its two pairs of wings, danced incredibly nimbly on the python's fangs, seemingly easily deflecting its every pounce with its claws.

But in reality, they both knew how dangerous Ivana was at this moment. Even a nimble falcon could only be bitten by a python once, and she was currently being unilaterally suppressed by Mann's offensive. Mann could make countless mistakes, but she only had one chance.

What led Ivana into this situation was naturally her two free hands. Ordinary divine spells could be completed in an instant, but the divine spell that required props and a long time to cast, if released, could sever the python's head.

But just as she was nimbly wielding her double swords to block Mann's attack, the spear, which had been like a giant python, suddenly revealed its true face, revealing its narrow fangs and full venom glands, and then sprayed black "venom" towards her eyes.

Seeing this, she immediately waved the wings around her waist in an attempt to block the black "venom", but it was already too late.

A black dagger slid out of Mann's sleeve, hitting her helmet head-on at high speed, and quickly began to annihilate the dazzling golden holy light erupting from the armor, then knocked Ivana's head back.

However, Ivana, with her excellent experience, did not become slow because of this. On the contrary, she unleashed even stronger power with her hands and wings. But at this moment, the black dagger that had just been knocked away turned in the air again, and launched another charge towards the already slightly dim helmet.

[Mental Power Ⅲ-5]

Seeing this, Ivana immediately frantically flapped her remaining pair of wings, concentrating on the black dagger, watching it constantly increase to a dangerous speed in the air, almost impossible to turn, and falling towards her again.

At the moment when the dagger was about to touch her helmet, Ivana slightly tilted her head, narrowly dodging it.

However, at this instant, the spear in Mann's hand, which was originally clumsy and "open and close", suddenly seemed to have life, turning into a nimble, winding dragon, rushing towards her with its claws and teeth, instantly deflecting the double swords and wings with perfect and abnormal efficiency.

[Extreme Speed Ⅲ-5/Insect-like Senses Ⅳ-3]

The Saint-Slaying Spear accurately and ruthlessly struck Ivana's neck, then swiftly flicked upwards.

Thud, the silver-white helmet fell heavily to the ground.

The moment the helmet flew off, she suddenly opened the two pairs of wings behind her, blooming with dazzling holy light. The resulting gale directly pushed Mann back dozens of meters, and a black dagger was also blown away.

When the light dissipated, blood dripped down her cheeks to the ground.

Ivana's right cheek was scratched by the tip of the spear, leaving a blood-red scar. There was even a negligible difference that would have blinded her eyes. Moreover, there was a shallow bloodstain on the right side of her tilted neck, scratched by the dagger.

The bloodstained black dagger that had just flown out stabilized in the air, then circled like a vulture directly above them.

The injured Ivana remained calm, raised her double swords, and looked at Mann:

"Those few moves you just made didn't look like ordinary spearmanship. It was as if you suddenly became aware of the flaws and gaps."

Although Ivana, who was possessed by an angel, did not directly heal the wound like Mann, she immediately stopped the bleeding. In Ivana's opinion, these two scars would not have much impact on the next battle, and the divine spell in her hand was almost completed.

Mann raised his spear and said to her:

"Very good judgment."

Just now, he used Qin Lan's extreme speed and the insect necklace to enhance his sensory speed. Although Qin Lan's ability was not suitable for direct use, and had many obvious characteristics and defects that were different from normal high-speed movement, it was still safe to use it to improve reaction speed.

After the armor was adjusted to speed mode again, Mann took a step forward again, and Ivana continued to retreat and widen the distance from him. However, after having two more scars, she did not look so calm and composed.

The undisguised spear chased after the fleeing prey like a dragon, tearing and biting, even if Ivana already knew what to guard against, he still scratched her neck several times in a row, leaving a few shallow bloodstains.

Even if Ivana, who was currently possessed by an angel, would slowly lose her stamina under the constant scratching, and slowly fall into a disadvantage under Mann's surging offensive, and eventually be found an opportunity to be directly killed by him.

Seeing this scene, most of the federal members showed happy expressions. Tang Xueluan also wanted to express her joy to the shadow, but when she turned her head, she saw a rather serious face. Then, she immediately looked at the Tier 5 ability users on the opposite side.

They did not seem nervous at all.

Whoosh!

Just as the tip of Mann's spear hit the left chest of the armor again, pushing the already damaged armor to the edge of shattering, Ivana, who was still waving her wings and retreating, suddenly aimed the sword in her hand at Mann, and then stretched out her hand forward.

Seeing this, Mann naturally retreated at full speed immediately, widening the distance from Ivana, who already had more than a dozen wounds on her body, moving hundreds of meters away in a short moment, and also staggering the direction Ivana was pointing.

However, the holy light did not gush out in the direction she was pointing, but surged in all directions like an explosion, and directly engulfed the entire surrounding beach at a speed far exceeding Mann's, and gently brushed over Mann, who had transformed into a defensive state.

This was not a direct attack.

As the holy light dissipated, the sculpture carrying the sacred power fell apart on the ground. A magnificent and grand golden light gate appeared on the distant sea, and the golden road under the gate extended from the sea to the shore where Ivana and Mann were standing.

White clouds began to slowly churn out of the ground, and the distant sea was slowly covered by fog. Solemn and bright music began to slowly come from the surroundings, and a sweet floral fragrance floated with the wind, as if they were really in paradise.

The shadow on the platform revealed a surprised expression, then immediately turned to look at Lafivin, who had a leisurely expression:

"What kind of divine spell is this?"

Lafivin said with a smile:

"The Road to Heaven. It's my latest creation, and this should be its first appearance. You can tell this young man...

"...that it's not shameful to lose to my spell."

This was a spell that he had specially improved and customized for Ivana these days.

Ivana, seemingly standing in front of the door, said to Mann:

"Where His glory shines, all evil will have nowhere to hide.

"Reveal your true form, demon."

In theory, this divine spell can only have negative effects on demons defined by Heaven, so normally it would have no effect on ordinary ability users like Mann.

But there was an inside story that others did not know - in fact, the God of Thunder and his followers had long been regarded as demons by Heaven.

It was just that Heaven had not directly done anything to these demons before, but simply called them demons. This was also why the Federation invited the Church to deal with the God of Thunder and they agreed without hesitation.

The harsh conditions and unreasonable huge consumption of this divine spell correspond to its terrifying effect. The principle of this divine spell is to use complex measures to borrow the most original power from Heaven, which can temporarily tamper with the surrounding reality in a way that meets Heaven's expectations.

In fact, Ivana should not be able to use the Road to Heaven at all. She is more like a spellcasting prop that transfers energy than a user. The scripture and the sculpture actually completed this giant divine spell, but his opponent also borrowed quite a lot of external objects.

The moment Ivana's voice fell, the wings behind her were also gradually solidifying. Bathed in the scattered holy light, she looked almost like a real pure white angel, and the damage Mann had just caused was slowly covered up under the effect of the divine spell. The bright red scars and the silver-white armor turned into fair skin and strong flesh.

Ivana transformed into a flawless angel on the spot, and the four long swords also ignited with white flames.

And on Mann, who was standing in the distance, also ignited a dark red flame representing judgment. A translucent demon phantom also appeared behind him. The long-horned monster with bat wings was covered in chains and shackles burning with holy flames, just like a prisoner waiting for an angel to execute him.

Mann also clearly felt his body become heavy. All the enhancement effects of the Gulamah magic armor stagnated at this point, and all the energy was used to resist the flames of judgment burning on his body, and even so, he could feel the armor barely holding on.

And the angel waving white wings swooped towards him at a speed slightly faster than just now. The four white flame swords representing the true power of that god flew towards him like four seagulls.

The originally agile Mann was now as slow as a stone under the suppression of the Road to Heaven. Although his senses could react to these four flame swords, his body could not keep up with their speed at all.

Half a second before the sword blades directly severed Mann's limbs, he deactivated the defense function.

The spear dragging the shackles once again burst out with amazing speed and agility. Mann waved the spear like a violent storm, striking the four swords that were slashing at him. Seeing this, Ivana also used her weapons even more aggressively.

Whoosh!

After abandoning the defense, Ivana, holding four swords, passed through the storm created by Mann with his spear. The sword blades lightly landed on Mann's undefended body like dragonflies skimming the water, and instantly drew four or five bloodstains.

The Saint-Slaying Spear, with undiminished power, also knocked away the obstructing sword blades and wings, hitting several times in a row, but a few of the lighter hits did not even leave a mark on the angel's fair skin after the angelization, and only two of the more dangerous hits scratched out blood.

But compared to Ivana's attack, the injuries he caused were nothing.

Therefore, those federal politicians who knew that Mann had no other tricks up his sleeve became gloomy. The current situation seemed that Mann had no way to fight back, and if this continued, he would definitely be defeated.

But Lafivin frowned, because after Mann took off his armor defense, the hardness of his body far exceeded his original imagination. The holy sword burning with white flames should have caused him serious injuries in a few hits, but for him, it seemed to be just ordinary sword wounds.

Moreover, the flames of judgment burning directly on him did not seem to have any negative effects on him at all, as if he was the kind of innocent person who could safely walk out of the fire of judgment, but he also knew that this was absolutely impossible.

This body...

Is a weapon stronger than the Saint-Slaying Spear.
