I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The gale howled as it pressed onward.

The maiden's heart grew heavier with each passing moment.

After regaining a portion of her power, her first act was to investigate whether the federal conspiracy 'Cera' spoke of was genuine, and after a thorough investigation...

She was forced to accept the likely truth of it.

Although the Federation hadn't exposed any fatal flaws in a short time, as the embodiment of wind, she could observe almost every corner of the world, and thus perceive many subtle changes within the Federation.

Knowing the answer, it was easy to deduce whether Cera was telling the truth by observing these changes.

But even knowing the truth, the maiden didn't intend to yield.

Freedom was her nature, a concept even more important to her than life, death, or survival, although the 'humanity' bestowed upon the Wind God by mortals made her still want to live after careful consideration.

But her divinity made her unwilling to abandon any hope of 'freedom'.

This suddenly appearing new Sun God undoubtedly threatened her freedom.

Even when Ceraon was around, she hadn't encountered such a predicament, because although Ceraon was extremely arrogant and powerful, he also possessed the demeanor of a king, never needing or wanting to push himself to the limit.

Of course, it might also be because Ceraon never had such a need.

He hadn't faced the urgent problems confronting this new god, because Ceraon hadn't suddenly entered a situation like this, so he could always solve problems in advance.

At least, since her birth, Ceraon had always been like this.

But now that she thought about it, Ceraon's kingly demeanor seemed to have brought him many problems.

If Ceraon had been willing to pay a sufficient price when threatened some time ago, he could have faced the enemy in a more comprehensive manner; at least, he would have had a way to truly command the gods.

Just like this new Sun God's approach.

But in the end, Ceraon had enough confidence in himself, or perhaps he was unwilling to give up his own interests, but whatever the reason, the reality was that this kingly demeanor killed him.

And this new Sun God seemed to have learned from Ceraon's mistakes.

He didn't act like a god-king of extraordinary bearing.

More like an unreasonable overlord.

This kind of Sun God's personality undoubtedly posed a greater threat to her.

More importantly, this new god's style was even worse than Ceraon's; when she asked for freedom in the future, this new Sun God wasn't even willing to make a false promise.

If it were Ceraon, he would at least try to maintain a semblance of harmony.

But this guy seemed much more cold-blooded than Ceraon, so her heart was filled with more than just the idea of getting rid of him, but with a more serious idea.

She didn't want to be restrained by such a guy in the future, no matter what.

But it wasn't all bad news; this new god didn't have Ceraon's knowledge and skills, and she knew very well that all new gods would need a long time to reach their complete form.

Because all gods would take a long time to become familiar with their power and develop all sorts of incredible techniques, especially after they were sealed by the Titans.

At least this new Sun God wouldn't be able to become stronger by increasing his divine power.

After all, He had reached the pinnacle of the seal at the time of His birth.

This actually made her very wary.

In fact, the Wind God felt she had some confidence.

If she devoured all her Chosen Ones and transformed them into an Endstorm, and then relied on her years of accumulated experience and knowledge, she should still be able to contend with this god.

This was also thanks to the fact that the other party, as a new god, didn't know her secret.

He couldn't stop the formation of the storm once he killed enough Chosen Ones, which was the second thing she had done during this time; she had established a connection with all her Chosen Ones.

Now the storm could take shape at any time.

But even so, she didn't plan to break with this new god.

This trick of hers was powerful, but it also had many problems.

For example, as wind, she couldn't exist forever.

Although this problem would be greatly alleviated in the form of the Endstorm, and she could maintain this state for several years while maintaining basic feeding, it was far from enough to deal with the Sun God.

What's more, after paying such a high price, she would only be able to contend with the newborn, normal Sun God.

So if she really wanted to gain freedom, she had to get help from other gods.

Coincidentally, there was a god who might be interested in this.

As she continued to move forward, the scene in front of her became darker and darker...

Then came the falling raindrops.

She raised her head.

Dark clouds drowned the sky, obscuring the sun.

"We have trouble," she called out to the dark clouds.

Silence.

"It's related to the Sun God," she added.

In the blink of an eye, a winding silver serpent emerged from the dark clouds.

It came before her.

The silver light faded, and a strong man appeared in the air.

The gale also transformed into a maiden form in front of this man.

"Long time no see," she greeted.

The Thunder God looked at her expressionlessly, with no intention of replying.

Seeing this, the maiden could only clear her throat, and then said with a serious expression.

"I have brought terrible news…

"The Sun God has been resurrected."

The Thunder God seemed slightly interested, but still said nothing.

The maiden then said seriously:

"But this new Sun God is not Ceraon; He has died forever, which is undoubtedly good news for those of us who seek freedom, but you must know that things are not so simple.

"The bad news is that this guy is just as arrogant as Ceraon; he even came to my city in person and declared that he wanted to rule all the gods of the Southern Federation; judging by his intentions, you must be on his list.

"His ambition and intentions are even more terrible than Ceraon's.

"So I want to join hands with you and other gods to fight against him and suppress him at this early stage of his birth; as long as you agree to this proposal, I will immediately go to the Sea God to discuss…

Thunder rumbled from the dark clouds, drowning out the sound of the wind.

The man replied indifferently:

"I'm not interested."

The maiden quickly explained:

"This is our best opportunity; if we let this guy go, he will only become the second Ceraon; have you forgotten how badly we were suppressed when Ceraon was around?

"We now have the opportunity to prevent Ceraon from being born."

Lightning flashed, illuminating the Thunder God's arrogant expression.

"Do you think I'm worried about the appearance of a second Ceraon? If he really wants to rule all the gods as you said, and even wants me to bow down to him, then that would be good news for me.

"When that time comes, I will defeat him honorably.

"Let all the gods see with their own eyes who is the strongest god."

Hearing these words, the maiden's heart sank to the bottom.

Damn!

It seems she really won't be able to sleep well.
