So I'm a sheep.

“I even thought that after you listened to me, Sasha, you would give me a serious lecture.”

“Bishop Helen, that’s outdated thinking.”

Sasha thought of her best friend; if she were here, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

"Is that so? Haha."

Helen couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that times have been changing all along, and it was just that my own ideas were outdated."

"Whoo~"

Protoss rubbed her eyes: "Let's continue. Where were we?"

"Strengthening the alienation of the human spirit."

"Yes, yes, alienation..."

“The alienation of the mind is terrifying. They are human now, but before long, they will no longer feel that they are human.”

"If they're not human, then what will they eventually become?"

"I can't wait to see the ending!" Helen's eyes sparkled.

'Bishop Helen, you've ruined your image.'

Sasha downed the juice in front of her in one gulp, but then she started to have some doubts.

"By the way, Sasha, what about Laura from your church? Is there anything special about her?"

"Yes, Lola can influence those mentally normal enhanced individuals."

"Oh?"

“Most enhanced humans will subconsciously obey Lola, but those with unstable mental states will not.”

"besides......"

Thinking of the man who provoked Lola in the restaurant, Sasha added, "I think that if they are the first batch of enhanced humans, regardless of their mental stability, Lola's influence on them will be very limited."

Helen leaned back in her chair and pondered for a while, then a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.

“Sasa, don’t you think Lola is like a natural ‘king’ among enhanced humans?”

Volume 1: Chapter 171 Promotion

'King', huh...

At most, he could be considered a leader.

If someone is a true king, there wouldn't be so many people who disobey orders.

Seeing that the little girl seemed somewhat unconvinced, Helen couldn't help but smile.

“Sasa, Lola has indeed been performing poorly, but isn’t that just a result of her ‘growing up crooked’?”

It grew crooked?

“Bishop Helen, Laura is doing great now, where has she gone astray?”

"If Lola hadn't received the church's protection that day, would she have started to believe in the goddess out of gratitude towards you?"

"Without a goddess of faith, what would Lola become?"

"Full of destructive desires, extreme hatred for ordinary humans, like a madman."

Hearing Sasha's answer, Helen nodded: "Lola like this is the same kind of person as those faithless enhanced humans. Do you think she can influence them?"

Hmm, thinking about it that way, it seems...

The young girl pondered for a moment: "Bishop Helen, according to your assumption that 'like' influences 'like', the berserk Lola can only influence those berserk enhanced humans as well."

"Is it a bit of a stretch to call Lola a 'queen'? After all, there are quite a few normal enhanced humans that she can't influence."

.................................................. .....

"What is normal, and what is abnormal?"

"Those enhanced people who are normal in our eyes, those enhanced people with stable faith and mental stability, are actually the freaks among enhanced people."

Helen sat up straight: "Although this world is only a lower world, there is one very peculiar thing about it."

“Many powerful beings, even messengers of supreme beings, are spreading faith in this world.”

"If it weren't for this 'peculiarity,' if it weren't for the Mechanic Order, Sasha, what do you think would have happened if enhanced humans had appeared?"

"..."

In that case, the world order would inevitably collapse, and Lola would become the queen of the 'new humans'?

Hmm, not necessarily.

Lola has an advantage, but her advantage is not absolute.

"Your Excellency, Lola can only influence the first batch of enhanced humans to a limited extent," the little girl reminded her.

"A king is unique, but not eternal."

Helen smiled slightly: "The first batch of enhanced humans can all challenge Lola's position. If she can't, then naturally someone capable will take her place."

Seeing the girl remain silent in thought, Helen calmly said, "This is just my guess, you don't need to worry about it too much."

"Yes, Sasha, I'm glad you didn't hide anything from me today."

"How about this, as a thank you, I'll give you some exclusive information about the Sea King Society."

"Oh?" The little girl perked up her ears immediately.

"The believer's faith in 'God' is just one of many beliefs."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if humans with other kinds of beliefs were to take on demon masks?"

Bishop Helen

The little girl exclaimed in amazement, "You have such a unique perspective! To be honest, I had never even considered such a question before."

"Hmph, never underestimate a Protoss who's so bored he's about to explode."

Helen took a sip of her milk tea: "After research and observation, I have come to the conclusion that—if you don't believe in God, no matter how firm your faith is, it's useless."

"What's the point of this?"

Sasha was taken aback: "If they are all beliefs, why don't other beliefs work?"

"Well..."

Helen said meaningfully, "It can only be said that what shelters those humans is not 'faith' itself."

........................................................

"I am back."

As soon as the little girl returned to the church, several priests immediately came forward to greet her.

"Your Excellency, you've worked hard!"

"Your Excellency, please come inside and rest."

"What would you like to eat for lunch today? I'll prepare it for you right away."

"Haha, no need, no need."

"Everyone has worked hard, go ahead and get busy, everyone go ahead and get busy."

These priests were sent by the Mechanical Order; they were intelligent, hardworking, and very self-respecting.

However, what the young girl was most satisfied with about them was that these people truly dedicated their faith to the goddess, rather than being physically in the church but mentally in the mechanical cult.

Upon opening her faith-based perspective, Sasha nodded with even greater satisfaction.

'The wise man is quite sensible; he didn't try to play tricks on me at a time like this.'

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

“Oh, Father Andrew.”

In a way, this temporary priest eventually became a full-fledged priest in the church.

This had nothing to do with Andrew's own will. At the sage's command, he had no choice but to leave the order with a bitter face and submit a report to Sophia requesting to be formally accepted into the order.

“Teach those newcomers what they don’t understand. Seniors should act like seniors.”

“Yes, yes, Your Excellency, you are right,” Andrew said, bowing and scraping.

'Sigh, I should have joined the church back then.'

Although the result was the same—becoming a fully-fledged priest—the difference between being a step earlier and a step later represented entirely different things.

"Where is Lola? I need to talk to her about something."

“Sister Laura is praying in the lounge before cooking. I’ll go find her now.”

"Oh, I'll go by myself."

After declining Andrew's offer, Sasha quickly arrived at the lounge.

When the door opened, sure enough, Lola was praying silently with her eyes closed.

'She's become much more devout; Lola can now be considered a fervent follower of our Lord.'

With sufficient devotion, the rest follows naturally.

"Your Excellency, why didn't you call me when you arrived?"

The girl, absorbed in prayer, did not notice Sasha's arrival. It was only when she opened her eyes that she realized Sasha seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.

"Haha, how could I bother you at a time like this?"

Sasha patted the empty seat next to her: "Sit down. I mainly came here today to talk to you about your promotion."

"Promotion?"

Laura thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, you may have forgotten."

“A week ago, I was ordained a full nun in the church.”

"Haha, of course I haven't forgotten that."
