The Imperial Supreme Council.
After completing the great task of unifying the world, the Empire no longer needed a prefix. The two words "Empire" alone were enough to explain everything. The Supreme Council was a huge organization built on this great country and was known as the "Queen's Deputy."
Of course, this hugeness refers to the resources it can control and the corresponding rights.
As the decision-making body, the Supreme Council actually has only five people.
Chief of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Dr. Sainz.
Jonathan, the imperial general and commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force.
A double-level zero anomaly that cooperates with humans, numbered 003-1, codenamed Godlike.
Soldier Mandela, a modified artificial anomaly, numbered 863-1, codenamed Final Weapon.
Real name unknown.
... ..The five highest councilors are the leaders of the highest authority organization in charge of abnormal existence in the empire. They are also the pinnacle symbols of the empire's individual combat power. In many cases, when faced with some extremely dangerous and strange anomalies, they will personally take the field.
However, the five highest councilors are not only responsible for matters related to anomalies.
Therefore, the Supreme Council does not meet every day.
Instead, they gather once every half a month to process half a month's data and select the most important parts to pass on to Her Majesty the Queen.
... ... ... ... ... .
May 9, 2020 in the Imperial Calendar.
There are still six days until the meeting.
... ..The president of the local council of Petra Province used his privileges to request an extraordinary meeting.
The application was approved.
859---7 will be responsible for connecting to the netherworld, constructing the meeting room, and guiding the consciousness of each supreme councilor to descend. The temporary meeting video will be compiled into a book and submitted to Her Majesty the Queen for approval.
The following is the meeting content:
"So? What happened? If I remember correctly, the local council of Petra Province should not have included level zero anomalies?"
Anomalies with the number "0" in their numbers are collectively referred to as Level Zero anomalies within the Council.
Single level zero anomalies are either extremely dangerous or extremely strange.
Double level zero anomalies are likely to be dangerous and weird.
Level 30 anomaly... has only been recorded so far and is considered to be outside the scope of discussion.
Basically, the most likely scenario that would require the Supreme Council to be convened temporarily is a riot or leak of a similar Level-0 anomaly.
However... ..
"Not at all."
The question was asked by Jonathan, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and the one who answered was the only non-human anomaly among the highest councilors, the godlike being numbered "003---1".
"These are the records of the local council of the province of Petra."
"Everyone, take a look."
“It’s a very special situation.”
In the empty room, there were only five illusory figures standing. This was not surprising, because this was not the real world, but the netherworld called the spiritual world. Only in this kind of place could the highest councilors from all over the world gather together to hold a meeting in the first place.
As the godlike being explained, a screen opened in the center of the five people, listing a detailed document.
... ... ... .
Experimenter Report
"We don't know what's going on."
“Very strange.”
"We seem to have captured an anomaly, but we can't find it in any of the records. This document was discovered by the researcher Elena who was in charge of collecting the data. It contains a lot of erased information. It's chaotic and disorganized, and no useful information can be found."
"After discovering the strangeness of the document, we immediately started the corresponding base investigation."
“It’s shocking.”
"Starting from April 23, the complete video information that should have been recorded 24 hours a day in the base has been deleted in large sections. Some time recordings have disappeared without a trace, but there is no trace of destruction, as if those recordings never existed in the first place."
"But the time stamps tell us that the lost footage does exist."
“That’s not all.”
"Including the endless corridor that records anomalies, the researchers found a non-existent room. The room number jumped directly from 26 to 28. There is no room 27. But theoretically speaking, the researchers would not make such a mistake."
"After asking the corresponding personnel, I got no useful information at all."
“No one remembers what happened.”
“The room just disappeared.”
"In addition, there are some very special areas, located in the containment corridor of the base. During the investigation, the members of the operation team found a completely charred passage with only ruins left. According to the members of the operation team, this was the scene of the bombing by the operation team's weapons."
"But no one has any impression of this, and there have been no unusual riots recently."
"But seeing is believing, and the charred corridors don't lie."
"Based on the above information, all senior researchers of the Petra Council have discussed and unanimously concluded that the base is likely to have been affected by something abnormal."
"It eliminates some pretty important intelligence."
"And it has affected all researchers in the base to a certain extent. Many people said they had lost their memories. The one who suffered the most in this regard was the leader of the operations team. He was once a brave, dedicated, and fearless veteran soldier."
"But recently, he seems to be considering retiring immediately and becoming a convenience store owner..."
"What a horrible impact this is!"
"However, after careful investigation by the researchers, we found that the mysterious anomaly had not completely eliminated its traces. Finally, we learned some fragmented information from Miss Asia, No. 358-1. She seemed to have retained some fragmented memories."
"After sorting out what Miss Aisia said orally."
"We came to a conclusion."
"From April 23rd to May 4th, the base captured a very mysterious anomaly and imprisoned it for some unknown reason. We tried to explore the secrets of the anomaly through experiments. Regarding this, we have looked for the reason for the experiment and finally found that this may not be the first time we have encountered this anomaly. Unfortunately, the relevant records have also disappeared."
"During the experiment, we borrowed a lot of Miss Aisia's power, but the results show that we were deceived by the anomaly. It pretended to be in its hometown where the experiment was successful, and finally took out the prison created by Miss Aisia when we let our guard down. In the end, it even erased all traces of itself. Considering the traces of the anomaly left in the endless corridor and the traces of the battle with the members of the action team, we judge that it has a very strong combat capability and may cause a large-scale death incident in the outside world at any time."
"Based on this reason, the Council President requested an extraordinary meeting of the Supreme Council."
"This anomaly looks similar to humans, possesses extremely high intelligence, can manipulate human memories and even the manifestation of things, and possesses extremely high combat capabilities."
"Please let the Supreme Council decide."
... ... ... ... ... ... .
The information was not long, and the five members of the Supreme Council quickly read through it.
The first to speak was Dr. Sainz.
"An unknown existence."
“Very strange.”
"From the report, it seems that the Petra Council conducted experiments on this mysterious anomaly based on some kind of recorded archives."
"But when you go back to check, the file is gone? You can't find the matching file?"
"That's impossible."
As the chief of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Dr. Science is himself an imperial mastermind. All abnormal data is backed up in his hands. While reviewing this data, he has already searched his own database for the corresponding abnormal files that match this incident.
But the result was the same as that of the Petra Local Council.
Not found.
"... .No one can perform memory manipulation on me."
"Besides, what happened in Petra Province cannot possibly affect me."
"unless... ."
Before Dr. Science could finish his words, the Godlike One spoke up and gave the only answer.
"concept."
"What they manipulated was not your memory, Doctor, but all the concepts of existence related to it. Once the existence is deleted, the record is meaningless. The document has become meaningless from the beginning, so no matter how hard you look for it, you will never find it."
"Can you do that?"
"Mystically, I can't."
“… ... ... ..”
003---1 Godlike, double zero-level anomaly, if even he can't do it... ..
The empty conference room fell into a solemn silence.
After a long time.
The second anomaly among the Supreme Judges, Mandela, number 863-1, spoke slowly, his voice neither male nor female, with a strange metallic texture: "The double zeros of the Godlike One represent the status of the origin of the universe (the first number "0") and the absoluteness of his ability (the second number "0"), and there is no doubt that only level 30 can surpass him in this regard, and those who can do similar things..."
"Only three."
Jonathan, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, came to the conclusion.
"The all-knowing and all-mighty, the wanderer in the underworld, Idient."
"The memory of the void is supreme, the vortex of origin is in chaos and unaware, and the others are either still asleep or far away."
"So... which one is most likely?"
"It's only Edient, stupid, knowledgeable, omnipotent, it's not difficult to do this..."
"It's him."
“Eh…”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was filled with dejection. The reason was very simple. Among the nine level 30 beings, only Adient was the most active and the one who most often caused trouble to the Council. However, the Council could not do anything about him, which really made people feel powerless.
"Report it to the Queen."
"That mysterious anomaly should not be Aidient, otherwise the Council would not have left any record of conducting experiments on it. However, Aidient should have covered up the existence of that anomaly. There is a high possibility that there is a very deep connection between the two."
"So what should we do with this information?"
"Assess it as new abnormal data."
"What's the serial number?"
"... .000---10---1."
"Level 30!?"
"When it comes to Edient, we can never be too cautious. The fact that Edient made a special move to conceal its existence is probably related to level 30. However, level 30 is really too exaggerated, so we should add the number "1" to the third box and treat it as a special existence. Maybe it will appear again."
"What's the...code name?"
After asking this question, the five people present fell into silence involuntarily. After a while, the Godlike One took the initiative to speak and proposed a name:
'The truth is unclear'
