Chapter 194

"This child is so fragile... The only places she can survive, besides the primitive environment, are these containment rooms."

"Unbelievable, is 'Anomaly-166' really a reality bender? How is she even more pathetic than 'Status Quo' before it ascended to a Supreme Divinity... At least the latter can forcibly distort the surroundings to maintain the status quo, and wouldn't get sick because of these reasons..."

"To be honest, I even suspect that it's because her body was not good from birth that she possessed this reality-bending ability."

"That makes some sense, because she is allergic to man-made objects from birth and cannot touch them directly, so after awakening as a reality bender, her ability became a shield to protect her."

"That makes some sense... but how do you explain her ability to control surrounding plants?"

"Why bother with such questions? Who among everyone here is responsible for studying anomalies?"

"I am not talented, I work at the 'Herta' space station, specializing in the study of curiosities. I wonder if this brother has any objections?"

"..."

Amidst the discussion of the crowd, the file was updated again.

【Discovery Process:】

【According to a defector from the Global Occult Coalition (GOC), "Anomaly-166" is the child of threat entity 9927-Black "Goddess" (or SCP-█), and the latter was executed by a GOC assault team in the so-called "Cornwall Incident."】

【The agent refused to execute "Anomaly-166" and secretly took her to the aforementioned monastery.】

【She lived there until she was 12, until she was accidentally witnessed by a visitor, who reported it to the relevant departments.】

【This agent immediately contacted the Foundation, agreeing to share GOC intelligence in exchange for the safety and containment of "Anomaly-166."】

"GOC? This organization appeared in the Foundation's previous live broadcast... That's right, in every sense, the relationship between the Foundation and this organization feels very subtle."

"We on the 'Luofu' Luofu Luofu Xianzhou have a saying: peers are enemies. Since both are organizations that deal with anomalies, it is inevitable that they will target the same anomaly at the same time. For example, 'Anomaly-166,' isn't it registered by both organizations? It's normal for two large organizations to be hostile to each other."

"I feel there is a trace of suspicion. The agent could execute the mother who was a threat entity, but not her child... there might be some changes we don't know about."

"I am very interested in the identity of this agent, especially after the identity of 'Anomaly-166' was exposed, he actually chose to betray GOC intelligence and choose the Foundation to seek shelter... I feel that the relationship between this agent and this child is not as simple as described in the file."

"This agent... wouldn't he be the father of 'Anomaly-166'?"

"Dr. Clef?... It's possible, after all, he is often teased for lying."

"Doesn't make sense. If the assumption is true, why did he kill his lover? Is he crazy? Isn't he afraid that 'Anomaly-166' will commit suicide after learning the truth?"

Luofu Luofu Xianzhou "Luofu," Divination Commission.

"'Goddess'?"

Fu Bai Xuan sighed long, raised her hand, and pressed her temple.

"Sigh... I shouldn't have fantasized that the Foundation's anomalies could be simple."

She had just been naively fantasizing.

"Anomaly-166" was just a reality bender with a relatively targeted ability and an incredibly fragile body.

There would be no threat.

After all, she didn't ascend to the "Missing Thing" on the spot like "Status Quo," and then go on a killing spree in the universe, sparing nothing.

Nor did she perform an ultra-long chant at Dr. Bright.

As a result, in the blink of an eye.

Her true identity was exposed, and she suddenly became the "Goddess's" child.

A second-generation god.

"Amazing, amazing."

She could only sigh softly:

"As expected of a god, the children are all reality benders."

Fu Bai Xuan briefly associated it with the Vidyadhara, the bloodline of the "Immortality" Dragon Lord.

Because of their bloodline, they gained the trait of reincarnation and rebirth, and also gained extraordinary power.

Luofu Luofu Xianzhou people are somewhat similar.

However, it is hereditary immortality, passing down the tragedy and turmoil of "Mara-Struck" from generation to generation.

Jarilo-VI, Underworld.

"Is it already daytime?"

There was a slight sound from outside the room, Bronya slowly exited the dream and opened her silver eyes.

Unlike the upper district, the Underworld has no sun.

So there is no clear distinction between morning and evening, and time can only be distinguished by clocks or biological clocks.

She stretched, but suddenly felt a soreness.

"Because of yesterday's battle..."

Bronya took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, lifted her arms slowly, felt the slight tension in her muscles, and then pressed hard with her other hand.

Then it was her waist, back, and legs...

Each one brought full pain, making her mind clearer.

While soothing her body, she pondered the future of Belobog:

The conspiracy of the "Stellaron" was completely shattered, and the environmental changes brought by the "Eternal Freeze" were also completely repaired. This is undoubtedly absolutely good news.

The only problem is...

Just when Belobog needed the Supreme Guardian to lead, the former Supreme Guardian suddenly disappeared, which would undoubtedly affect the entire political situation of Belobog.

Fortunately.

She had already handed the handwritten letter to the visitors from beyond the sky, letting them give this letter to Gepard, and maintaining order through the power of the Silvermane Guards.

"At this moment... most people must be both happy and confused..."

The world-ending disaster that had been pressing on their heads for nearly a thousand years had disappeared, which is certainly a good thing.

But it happened too suddenly.

It's like a down-and-out person who can barely make a living suddenly receiving an inheritance from a distant relative, as high as 30 billion.

He needs some time to digest and understand.

Such a principle is similar when applied to a group.

Almost every resident of Belobog had made the mental preparation to be buried in the "Eternal Freeze," holding the idea of living one day at a time, walking alone.

It's like a prisoner who has been locked in prison for most of his life.

Many of them, after regaining their freedom, will only have a brief excitement.

What follows is discomfort and strangeness with the environment, and confusion about the future.

The residents of Belobog need the Supreme Guardian to explain everything to them and tell them that the future has changed.

Therefore, Bronya doesn't have much time to understand the Underworld and talk to the rulers of the Underworld.

And this is a necessary link.

Therefore, the responsibility of maintaining order in the short term fell to the Silvermane Guards.

Besides that, there is an even trickier problem:

"How should I explain the... death of Mother, no... the former Supreme Guardian?"

Bronya hesitated for a moment and said the last word.

Everything that happened yesterday, in her view, was like a dream bubble, extremely unreal:

A group of visitors from beyond the sky calling themselves "Trailblazers" came to this planet;

Her mother, Cocolia, turned to the "Stellaron" and chose to build a new world on the ruins of the old world;

Everyone joined forces to frustrate Cocolia's conspiracy;

The Foundation's "God" brought miracles, eliminating all the harm brought by the "Eternal Freeze";

Then, she learned of the existence of the Foundation, divinities, and Supreme Divinities, and watched the file of the "Missing Thing" destroying everything...

These things beyond her cognition rolled toward her like an avalanche, catching her off guard and burying her.

Her mother, whom she trusted most and had always relied on... was also gone.

"Mother... why are you so silly..."

Unconsciously, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

Immediately, the girl rubbed her eyes.

Enduring the pain, she crawled out of the quilt and started changing clothes.

The surface of Jarilo-VI has already regained its vitality, and there is even a hint of warmth, so residents can go out for activities without heavy winter clothes.

As for the Underworld, there is still residual cold air.

The attire originally used to resist the cold winter can still be of some use here.

It's like some kind of hell joke.

Dressed neatly, Bronya walked to the window, pulled the curtains, and saw the lightless dome.

Outside the window.

Most of the residents of the Underworld were numb, walking like walking corpses, going to work to earn money for daily expenses or indulgence.

There is no picturesque scenery here, no green trees, no singing birds, only a depression that is so thick it cannot be melted.

The culprit who caused the status quo... is also her dear mother.

Long-term blockade has led to deep resentment in the Underworld toward the upper district, and the upper district also has great prejudice against the Underworld.

"The truth of the matter... cannot be made public."

"Otherwise, the entire order of Belobog will completely collapse today."

The current Belobog is too weak to withstand the ravages of any turmoil.

Once Bronya makes Cocolia's true face public.

It is smashing the authority of the "Supreme Guardian" with her own hands.

Making the Supreme Guardian lose legitimacy.

Everything in the past will be interpreted as the Supreme Guardian wanting to take the entire civilization to die, and then reverse-investigate and liquidate the previous Supreme Guardians.

Even the Silvermane Guards will no longer obey the Supreme Guardian.

Coupled with the serious gap between the upper and lower districts.

Belobog will inevitably set off internal war.

Bronya rubbed the corner of her eye, and an idea gradually took shape in her heart.

Just then.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knock on the door sounded.

Followed by a childish voice.

"Sister Bronya, it's Clara."

Bronya opened the door, and the white-haired girl walked into the room with a screen.

"What's wrong, Clara?"

"Sister Bronya, the Foundation's live broadcast has started... and the anomaly is on the surface of Jarilo-VI."

【Threat Entity Database Entry】

【Threat ID: KTE-9927-Blackchild "Daughter"】

【Authorized Response Class: 4 (Severe Threat)】

【Description:】

【The threat entity is the child of the manifested LTE-9927-Black "Goddess" and an unknown father.】

【Although she is extremely similar to her mother and possesses her animal characteristics, the entity does not have the beast-like appearance of 9927-Black.】

【She possesses a slight plant-driving ability, but this is not the main reason for her classification as such.】

【She is born with knowledge of and the ability to execute a supernatural program—"Clockwork Black Child Haphila," which is a world-wide ritual that can irreversibly revert human civilization to the Neolithic stage.】

【"Lancelot" assault team neutralized 9927-Black during the notorious "Cornwall Incident" operation, but due to the death of assault team leader Agent U, it could not be confirmed whether 9927-Blackchild had been cleared.】

A few short lines of text contained too much information.

The screen was full of complaints for a while.

"Thousands of thoughts in my heart, only one word can summarize it—6!"

"Regardless of who the father of 'Anomaly-166' is, I respect him as a man... 'Extremely beast-like appearance'??? And he could still do it? Has he been single for ten thousand years? Does he think a beast looks beautiful?"

"Although the supernatural program that 'Anomaly-166' can execute is awesome, her father is even more awesome. Not only can he see beauty in animals, but he can also produce offspring with animals."

"We on the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou have the legend of the Great Emperor of Sorrowful Wind. The father of 'Anomaly-166' might be a fellow traveler."

"Tell me more about 'fellow traveler'."

"?"

"What?!"

The moment Bronya saw the content on the screen, her thinking stalled for a moment.

But not because of the father of "Anomaly-166."

But because of the program she could execute.

Although she knew very little about everything in the Foundation.

But being able to revert the level of a civilization irreversibly back to the Neolithic Age...

This was terrifying enough.

Bronya was still excited yesterday that Jarilo-VI had become livable and the people of Belobog had finally ushered in the day when the "Eternal Freeze" ended.

Now, she learned that there was a terrifying existence that could destroy the remaining technology at any time staying on the surface of the planet.

How could this not make her nervous?

And...

For the last of these people on this planet, civilization regression might not be as good as being destroyed by the "Eternal Freeze."

The latter, although more fatal and more desperate, was a slow process, and the people of Belobog could still numb themselves.

And the former was destroying everything the moment the people saw hope.
