I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Chapter 565 563. Pleased to Meet You

The journey was unexpectedly smooth. Before Maen and Zasna could react, they were already approaching their final destination, and once they arrived, it would be nearly impossible for anyone to intercept them.

This was already within Wartel's "jurisdiction." If anyone truly wanted to target them, they would have acted much earlier, meaning the mastermind behind the Ninth City's attack had given up on intercepting them.

Maen stood by the airship's window, gazing at the black tower rising from the desert in the distance, and asked:

"Could it be that they changed their minds?"

Zasna stood behind him, staring into the distance, and said:

"No, I'm not that optimistic. The Second King is definitely not the kind of person who gives up easily, and he doesn't make decisions lightly. Although I still don't quite understand why he wants to stop us, he must have thought it through carefully, so he definitely won't give up halfway.

"When he supported us back then, he encountered considerable problems, but those difficulties, which would have crushed anyone else, didn't deter him at all, let alone now when he doesn't even know that we've seen through him.

"As for why he didn't try to attack us on the road…"

"Perhaps Wartel's protection did work. He might have said a few words of warning, dissuading the Second King from intercepting us on the road and intending to find a way to defeat us in the council.

"But this is indeed good news for us."

Maen agreed:

"Because we have ways to make him change his mind."

Zasna nodded:

"That's right, but we still need to be a little careful. Although he probably won't dare to do anything at the council, I can't say what accidents might happen, and you're different from me…"

"We Titan Kings aren't afraid of death at all, so our battles are sometimes very brutal, but after it's over, we can shake hands and make peace again, but you can't.

"If you die, you die."

Maen nodded:

"Yes, I'll be careful."

Seeing his calm demeanor, Zasna couldn't help but say in advance:

"If you really encounter any problems, just use your armlet to teleport. Although the teleportation points I usually set are in the special facilities of the Ninth City, that's actually because there are some special spatial rules here that are different from the outside world, and doing so is to reduce the difficulty of teleportation.

"But even here, this armlet can forcibly teleport, but because of the spatial characteristics here, it can only perform a one-way teleportation, and it will be directly scrapped afterward.

"If you really encounter that kind of situation, just leave here and don't come back."

Hearing this, Maen looked down at the armlet in his hand in surprise, and then said to her:

"Thank you, I won't hesitate if it really comes to that."

He didn't expect Zasna to be so considerate. Fortunately, he didn't need this thing at all, and he didn't think he would let things turn into such a terrible situation, but he still thanked her very formally.

Zasna nodded:

"I believe you won't. It's meaningless for you to die here, and if you leave here alive, then in the worst case, we'll both be alive at the same time, and there's still hope for saving humanity.

"Even if they really kill me, you don't have to worry.

"For us, death is just the horn of war, and what follows is the official battle, and the aftermath of this war can easily kill you, and you're not suitable to stay here."

Although she said she believed Maen wouldn't, Zasna actually said this to make Maen feel more at ease when he left. In the past, as a human, she had seen many heroes and knew how admirable many humans could be, and her interactions with Maen during this time had also made her feel his extraordinariness.

However, there was a real cultural difference between Titans and humans. Death had completely different meanings for her and Maen, and she didn't want Maen to make the wrong choice because he didn't realize this difference.

Maen nodded:

"Of course."

While they were talking, the airship finally approached the black tower. Maen and Zasna both walked to the door of the airship, waiting for it to land smoothly on the top of the tower.

And when the hatch slowly opened, what appeared before them was a figure Maen had never seen before.

It was a rather young-looking man. He smiled the moment he saw Zasna, and then greeted her:

"Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Sixth King." Zasna also smiled happily, and then introduced, "This is the Sixth King, also my friend, this is Maen, the human I mentioned."

The Sixth King nodded, then said with a serious expression:

"The Fifth King arrived very early. I think he doesn't want to meet you. The other Titan Kings have also arrived at the meeting one after another before you. I'm the second-to-last Titan King to arrive, but…"

"The Second King is waiting for you not far ahead. He said he wanted to see this human as soon as possible."

Zasna nodded slightly, indicating that she understood his meaning:

"Okay."

After saying this, the Sixth King left the top of the tower first, walking directly inside, and Zasna didn't follow immediately. Instead, she waited a few minutes before stepping inside.

Maen didn't say anything, just used his eyes to indicate that he understood the situation and braced himself to deal with the Second King he was about to meet verbally.

The moment they entered the tower, the scene they saw was completely different from what Maen had imagined. They just walked down the stairs a few times, and when they opened the door, they saw an extremely spacious and magnificent corridor, and at the end of the corridor, there was a particularly luxurious and wide door. Obviously, the space here was not normal.

And a dozen meters away from the corridor, there was a figure sitting obediently cross-legged on the ground, and the appearance of this figure was the same as the scene inside the tower, completely beyond Maen's expectations.

According to what he had learned during this time, the Second City was composed of almost entirely mechanical Titans, and they particularly advocated showing themselves with pure metal bodies, instead of the flesh and blood disguises that other Titans would use.

But at this moment, sitting on the ground was a young boy who seemed to be completely made of flesh and blood, and Maen didn't feel that this appearance was a disguise at all. There was no sign of any machinery inside his body.

The moment he saw them, the boy's eyes looked at Maen, and then he grinned with a cheerful smile:

"Hello, my name is Victor."
