Chapter 397 Peeping!! ? (Please subscribe!)
When the first heartbeat was heard, the prayers in the entire tomb fell silent.

dong dong!

All the believers raised their heads, their faces filled with fanaticism and madness, their eyes gleaming with an eerie light, as they excitedly looked at the giant egg in the center of the altar.

Praise be to our Lord!

dong dong!

As the strong, powerful heartbeat grew more intense, the believers resumed their prayers.

The impassioned voices were even louder than before, almost emanating from the tomb!

"You are the master of supreme sins, the destination of endless desires!"

Their bodies swayed constantly as they chanted rapidly.

Praise be to our Lord!

Their black robes twisted and fluttered with the movement of their bodies, like living tentacles.

You will guide us on our journey through this world!

When the blood-red giant egg, which was as tall as three people, trembled again and even made a sound as if it was about to shatter, the cultists seemed to be injected with an even stronger drug of madness.

Buzz!
Their prayers became more urgent, their voices rose, and their eyes burned with fervor.

Some believers were so excited that they trembled all over and waved their hands wildly in the air, as if welcoming some great arrival.

Some believers even went so far as to draw their daggers and plunge them into their own hearts, then joyfully fall into the flesh altar, where they are grabbed by its spreading tentacles, sink into its flesh, become new foundation stones, and contribute their lives and energy.

As the heartbeat gradually quickened, something seemed to be writhing on the surface of the giant egg, as if the creature inside was awakening and about to break free of this blood-red prison.

The creature exuded a chilling aura, an aura of death, despair, and destruction, as if its very birth would bring endless calamity to the world.

It devours the light, dragging all the beauty in the world into the abyss of darkness.

The god of lust is about to descend upon the mortal realm once again.

They are trying to create a divine body.

Initially, the God of Lust only wanted to harass the Church of the Sun to vent his anger and regain some face; he just wanted to make a token gesture.

But as the battle progressed, He discovered that the other side did not seem to intend to "quit while the iron was hot."

Those fanatical lunatics seemed to intend to use Him as a case study, preparing to seize the opportunity to wage a mad divine war against Him regardless of the consequences.

The god of lust is not stupid; he does not want to become a tool or sacrifice to be trampled underfoot.

The problem is that gods have their dignity and cannot easily show weakness.

Therefore, even though they realized that the Sun Church intended to use them as stepping stones, they still made the believers grit their teeth and persevere.

He had been waiting for an opportunity.

They are waiting for an opportunity to end the war in a legitimate way.

And not long ago, the variable He had been waiting for... finally appeared.

A crimson dragon appeared on the battlefield and utterly destroyed His army of followers.

Initially, the god of lust was enraged after discovering that his servants had been ruthlessly destroyed by the enemy.

The clay figurine still has some anger.

As an evil god, how could He tolerate such humiliation from mortals!

There was already one damn guy who made Him furious, and now there's another one!
That giant dragon dared to humiliate Him.

No.

They must pay the price!

He wanted to show the world through his actions that there was only one consequence for blaspheming God.

That is death!
But at the same time, He also realized that this was the opportunity He had been hoping for all along.

If we can kill that dragon, this "war" can be ended sooner rather than later.

By killing that epic dragon, He regained His pride, and the battle could then rightfully end in "His victory," freeing Him from further exploitation.

The God of Lust could tell that the giant dragon did not truly belong to the Sun God, but was most likely an ally they had summoned.

The Church of the Sun would certainly react strongly to the death of an ally, but it would never react as strongly as to the loss of one of its own.

It would be a perfect casualty in this war.

Therefore, the god of lust did not retaliate at the beginning, but continued to suppress the believers, making them keep a low profile, and even sending their creations to their deaths.

So many of their own people were sacrificed to lull others into a false sense of security and make that crimson dragon careless.

If that giant dragon hadn't entered Solantis directly, He would have made his move around tomorrow.

This forcibly formed avatar, while perhaps not surpassing the body destroyed in the dark region in some aspects, has a specialization in another area: it possesses the ability to corrupt the dragon's filth.

The most perfect ending would be that He successfully corrupted the crimson dragon, making it His new body on Earth.

However, there's no rush to take action now.

The giant dragon has now entered the Holy City of Radiance, so we cannot act rashly. This avatar also needs to continue to grow.

We still need to wait for an opportunity.

He was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, watching his prey and quietly waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Ordinary things, heh..."

"You will definitely pay the price."

The evil god who wielded the power of corruption chuckled in the darkness, mocking the ignorance and arrogance of mortals.

"I will show you that the gods are not to be profaned!"

……

……

After waking up, Herbert was thoroughly ravaged by the "big cat" that was on top of him.

Although there was no substantial progress, Miss Hungry Dragon still managed to give him a good dressing-down with her saliva.

Although Valentina was unhappy that Herbert wouldn't let her eat, she wasn't willful and eventually obediently complied with Herbert's request.

Of course, only a limited number are obedient; many are still not entirely compliant.

You won't let me eat, huh?

Row.

Then I'll kiss you!
A kiss is fine, right?
After giving Herbert a good, passionate kiss, Valentina, having satisfied her craving for kisses, finally let him go.

She wasn't so easily satisfied; she had more important things to do.

I'm hungry, time to eat.

Valentina licked herself until she was hungry—she was truly hungry.

Miss Hungry Dragon has whetted her appetite by licking Herbert; it's time to eat something proper.

Having finally escaped the hungry dragon's "magic tongue," Herbert did not rush to leave the room.

He turned to look in the mirror and asked the mirror spirit, who was staring straight ahead with a serious expression, "Did you see everything?"

"..."

Miss Mirror Demon remained silent, looking down at her nose and mouth, as if it were none of my business.

"Speak, don't play dead."

Herbert rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You have the guts to spy, but not the guts to admit it, huh?"

"No! I didn't see anything!"

Lucaria snorted and pouted, "Besides, I wasn't peeping! You two insisted on putting on a show in front of me." You were showing off your love right in front of me, and now you're blaming me for peeping?

Do you guys even have any sense of reason?!
“I’m not talking about that. I’m asking you, did you see what I looked like in my sleep?” Herbert shook his head.

"how?"

Lucaria paused for a moment upon hearing this, then raised an eyebrow and asked with a playful tone, "You're asking that because you had a nightmare last night?"

"maybe?"

Herbert shrugged and said calmly, "In a sense, I did have a nightmare."

Miss Mirror Demon frowned, gave Duo Duo a rather strange look, and teased, "I say, to have nightmares in such a bright place, do you, a paladin, have something to hide?"

where is this place?
It is the glorious holy city.

It is the place that countless paladins yearn for most, a true place of longing.

Herbert, the newly crowned legendary paladin, had a nightmare on his very first night here.

It's obvious that you have a problem!

"maybe?"

Herbert shrugged noncommittally and spread his hands, saying, "After all, I have quite a few secrets!"

In some ways, Lucaria's teasing was actually quite accurate.

Herbert did indeed have a "ghost" in his heart, but this ghost was a bit too high-class, and was called an evil god by others.

"By the way, you're also one of the unspeakable secrets."

"Oh, really? Should I thank you for valuing me so much?"

"No need for that, we don't need to be so polite between us."

"Ah!"

Lucaria couldn't help but roll her eyes at the shameless man, not wanting to discuss the topic any further.

The more she interacted with Herbert, the more she realized that she was no match for him in verbal exchanges.

She returned to her previous question, thought for a moment, and replied, "Your sleeping face last night didn't look anything special."

"There was no sign of anyone else entering the room—well, except for that dragon lady."

"So, why do you look so serious? Have you noticed something?"

At this moment, Herbert's expression was unusually serious. He suppressed his smile and squinted as if sensing something.

After a long while, he slowly said, "I feel... like I'm being watched by someone, like someone is spying on me in the dark."

"Uh……"

Lucaria blinked, then pointed uncertainly at herself and asked, "The person you're talking about, is it me?"

You deliberately went through all this trouble just to bring up the fact that I was spying, didn't you!

Why are you being so stingy?
How boring!
"Although I don't know why you can be so self-righteous about spying, I'm not talking about you this time."

Herbert waved his hand at the overly self-aware Mirror Demon and said in a deep voice, "I also feel that there seems to be a powerful being hiding in the shadows, watching me."

The other party's spying almost bypassed his perception.

Only in dreams could he perceive a hint of danger through his spiritual senses.

Last night's deep sleep was definitely not normal; the only person who could fall asleep without even realizing it is probably Nenasa.

Is He trying to remind me of something in this way?

"If the blazing sun represents the sun god, then the shadow represents... the god of lust?"

Herbert is not good at interpreting dreams; he can only make rough guesses about the meanings of the elements in the dream.

Did He notice me?

Even if they are discovered, that would be perfectly normal.

Herbert and Valentina had previously acted recklessly on the battlefield, making it difficult for them to escape the attention of the person they were provoking.

The problem was that he was very careful to conceal himself, wearing battle armor the whole time and changing his aura.

"But it doesn't really feel like it! If He were to notice me, could He really be this calm?"

Given Herbert's hatred for Ra, the god of lust, if Ra had truly taken notice of Herbert, He might very well have directly brought down divine punishment.

It's not impossible that he might even descend in his true form!
"I just can't figure it out..."

How can the god of lust be so tolerant?

Herbert thought it didn't seem like it.

"But one thing is certain: Valentina's feeling was right; someone is indeed watching us."

"If the person in the shadows is the God of Lust, then it's best not to leave the city for now. He's probably waiting for an opportunity in the dark."

"In any case, the time spent in the Holy City of Glory is estimated to be safe."

If even Solantis cannot be considered a safe place, then there is probably no place in the world that can be considered safe.

"We need to remind everyone to be more careful and not to act alone."

After careful consideration, Herbert suppressed his unease and restlessness.

A chill ran through him, and his chaotic thoughts instantly cleared, as if he had turned into a block of ice.

Herbert forced himself to calm down.

calm.

It is especially important to remain calm in dangerous situations.

The situation is far from the worst point yet, and we shouldn't panic.

After clarifying his thoughts, Herbert left the room and briefly mentioned his discovery to Flora and the other two.

"It's best if we don't act alone during this period. Being together will make it easier to escape if necessary."

And after Herbert briefly explained his feelings, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong.

Herbert frowned as he opened the door and found that Bishop Evelyn was already waiting at the entrance.

"Your Excellency Herbert."

She nodded slightly to Herbert, and without entering the room, stood at the door and calmly said, "Please come with me alone for a moment."

"Alone? Can't others go?"

"Yes."

Herbert frowned, intending to refuse outright.

He didn't want to be separated from Valentina and the others, especially when he sensed that there really seemed to be a gaze watching them from the shadows.

But Evelyn's next words changed his mind.

The calm bishop uttered words in an extremely calm tone that were quite astonishing for the entire Holy City of Glory.

"His Holiness the Pope wishes to meet with you privately, alone."

After speaking, Bishop Evelyn paused for a moment, then slowly continued, "Furthermore, His Majesty also said..."

"You wouldn't refuse a lonely old man's request, would you?"
