"You said Elise had returned?"
Lan Mu was currently in his Autobot form, using various metal parts to repair himself.
Diana replied: "Bai Ze's doppelganger reported that CANC had completely abandoned their strongholds and retreated to West Africa"
"West Africa … do you really think it's safe to go to Ocean Star? Take your people and follow me to the South Pole again "
Lan Mu repaired his Autobot body and turned back into the True Ancestor of the Vampires.
But before he could regain his senses, he collapsed to the ground in a daze.
Diana hurriedly rushed forward to catch him and worriedly said: "True Ancestor, your soul is very weak …"
"Damn it, how do I repair my soul?"
His soul was in constant pain, almost as if it was riddled with holes. This was the damage caused by the Spear of Longinus.
This was something that couldn't be repaired no matter how much blood he absorbed. After being pierced through by so many spears, the accumulated damage had almost caused his soul to lose consciousness.
Lan Mu hurriedly turned back into his Autobot form and finally regained his senses.
"My soul's damage is too severe, I can only maintain this form for now …"
Lan Mu was a bit annoyed. He didn't know how to repair his soul.
Some forms might be able to, but other than his Autobot form, all his other forms would be affected by his soul's damage and fall into a deep slumber, so he couldn't return to his previous form.
"CANC is currently lacking high-end combatants, but their main forces have all retreated to Ocean Star. If they're allowed to regain their senses, there'll be a lot of trouble"
Lan Mu's large mechanical body sat down on the ground and said: "Diana, have our people immediately head to South Pole to check the situation, but I believe they've already left"
"Quickly restore the strongholds and take inventory of the anomalies that they didn't manage to take with them"
Diana looked at Lan Mu and said: "True Ancestor, we've already taken over all the strongholds, but several countries have declared us an illegal organization to be expelled"
Lan Mu's mechanical voice replied: "That's normal, these countries believe that they'll be able to profit from this war. However, while we support humanity's use of anomalies, that doesn't mean we agree with the political use of anomalies"
Diana said, "Only a few countries have taken action, but America is completely under our control. Russia is basically under our control as well."
"Hmm, let's concentrate the anomalies in America and the Pacific Ocean. Don't store any anomalies in those strongholds for now, we only need to station our containment units there. Once the situation stabilizes, I'm going to hold a world conference …"
…
That night, the Lanbai Society's containment unit had already entered all the CANC bases, including the South Pole.
The only place that wasn't involved was the underwater prison located in the Bermuda Triangle.
However, Lan Mu's injuries had yet to heal, and he would undergo a new transformation tomorrow, so this matter was temporarily postponed.
Even so, almost all of Earth's containment forces had been taken over by Lan Bai She. However, 40% of the anomalies had been transferred to Neptune by CANC, 20% were in the underwater prison, 30% were in Qianlong's hands, and 10% were in Lan Bai She's hands. Of course, this was only a rough estimate. In fact, there were still a very small number of anomalies that were secretly hidden in the hands of certain countries or in the wild.
The results of the battle at the South Pole were gradually being investigated by various countries. After learning that CANC had been defeated, several countries announced the establishment of their own containment units.
Lan Bai She's position was unstable, and they were also jointly denounced as an illegal organization. CANC hadn't been completely defeated, and could make a comeback at any time. During this period of crisis, it was a perfect opportunity for a few countries.
Of course, most of them were just jokes. They didn't even have a single anomaly, nor did they have any experience, so they only emphasized their sovereignty to Lan Bai She.
There were only four countries that silently held onto anomalies, namely Britain, France, Germany, and Japan.
They first acknowledged that Qianlong of China had the right to freely dispose of anomalies in their country, thus showing that they also had the right to do so.
After that, they spent a large amount of money to establish special forces, as well as transforming many military bases into containment units.
Even more urgently, according to hidden information, every country had sent out preachers. Among them, Japan had chosen 10 preachers in a short period of time.
When he heard this, Lan Mu was shocked.
Before the war, CANC didn't even have that many preachers. Because preachers were a very important position, they had very high requirements for both anomalies and people, as well as multiple considerations such as safety and compliance.
Japan only had 10 anomalies at most, yet all of them were preachers. It wasn't hard to imagine how dangerous these preachers were.
Ten anomalies couldn't possibly all be safe, right? Perhaps some of them were super weak and could even cause serious consequences. Not only did they not properly contain such anomalies, they even dared to give them to combatants. That was simply courting death.
Lan Bai She immediately expressed his condemnation, but Qianlong, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan didn't say anything.
"Ahaha, in order to gain a foothold in a short period of time, they've already thrown away their bottom line. Is this how anomalies should be used?"
Lan Mu once again experienced CANC's perspective. After Lan Bai She became the world's largest non-government containment organization, he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw these countries' private containment and lack of moral integrity for the sake of political gains.
In the past, it was Qianlong who held a heaven-defying anomaly in his hands that caused CANC to become so famous that he forcefully established a containment organization in his country. As time went on, as the number of anomalies accumulated increased, they also gained a foothold. Combined with the rise of their country, their technological and economic development, they became even more powerful, causing them to become even more powerful.
This one successful example instantly became the benchmark for every country.
And now, these four countries were also imitating Qianlong's example and established their own containment organizations.
However, they had too few anomalies, so even if they tried to expel the Lan Bai She's elite forces, they couldn't do anything about it. This was because containment organizations were considered special operations, so they only fought in small groups. Unless these countries truly dared to launch a full-scale war, they couldn't do anything to the Lan Bai She.
For that reason, they used almost all of the anomalies they had in their possession in an attempt to use them as a deterrent to gain recognition.
They were willing to accept the Lan Bai She's sovereignty as a containment organization.
"Bam!"
Lan Mu was speechless and smashed the wall with his palm.
Now that he had control over the entire world's containment organizations, these small organizations were nothing more than scabies to him.
In truth, Lan Mu had already predicted that as soon as CANC fell, the other countries would rise up.
But he didn't expect these four countries to blatantly use anomalies to threaten him. It was like in a country where guns were banned, a few people pointed their guns at the president and said: "Lift the gun ban, this is a sacred right granted to us by the Constitution, you have no right to interfere!"
At this moment, Lan Mu's mood was exactly the same as CANC's. The competition between so many countries on Earth was already chaotic enough, yet they still wanted to drag anomalies into the mix. Did they think that humanity wouldn't die quickly enough?
"We must take away the so-called freedom of containment from each country and take back their anomalies. Otherwise, this would be the same as nuclear weapons, where everyone would have to be wary of the other side suddenly activating some inexplicable ability. Even if there wasn't anything, they would still suspect each other, which could become an excuse for many things"
"In the past, all anomalies in the world were under CANC's control, so if there was any supernatural event, no one would think that it was an enemy attack. Because everyone knew that if something like that happened, they could just go to CANC"
"With only a single containment organization, all anomalies would be controlled under the same ideology, this is a kind of [Order]"
Lan Mu told Diana: "Notify each country's government, from today onwards, the Lan Bai She will replace CANC"
"I'll invite them to the United States to participate in the world conference and discuss the new [Order]"
"Right, don't forget Qianlong"
