So I'm a sheep.

"Hmph, do you speak so sarcastically in front of the other two bishops as well?"

Carlos scoffed, "How old are you? Stop spouting childish nonsense!"

How am I childish?

"It's childish of you to argue with me now."

"I......"

"I don't want to argue with you since we rarely see each other. I'm going back to my room to read. You should wash up and go to bed early."

"and many more!"

Lola quickly stopped Carlos: "If you wanted to read, you should have said so earlier. I'll give it to you."

As she spoke, Lola took the simplified version of the Bible out of her bag and shoved it directly into her father's hand.

"This is... the scriptures of the Church of Destiny?"

Carlos was momentarily speechless, both amused and exasperated: "Lola, are you really going to proselytize me?"

"kindness"

The girl nodded earnestly: "Dad, do you remember that strange celestial phenomenon yesterday at noon?"

"..."

Seeing Carlos's expression change slightly, Lola frowned and said, "You know the truth too, don't you? Don't try to fool me with your expert talk!"

"I know, I know."

"But so what?"

Carlos quickly said, "Those guys left, and all the major churches are closing down?"

"Don't worry, Lola, the Order will take over. The believers won't notice anything unusual."

"I don't care about that. What I mean is, most of the outsiders have left, but the angels haven't."

Lola said seriously, "Angels truly love and care for the goddess's believers; they are different from other races."

"Isn't Bishop Helen still here?"

“Bishop Helen…”

"She and Sasha are very close, and she often comes to visit Sasha."

"I've met that bishop a few times, and I always felt that she could be creepy at times."

The girl sighed: "In short, Bishop Helen doesn't really value the church's believers, that's the conclusion I've drawn from my observations."

"Therefore, instead of choosing the Sea King Society, why not believe in our Lord and join the great family of the Church of Destiny!"

"Lola, there's something you should know."

"what?"

Birds of a feather flock together.

Carlos said calmly, "Bishop Sasha and Bishop Helen are not of the same race, have no close ties of interest, and even have different beliefs."

"Have you ever thought carefully about why they have such a good relationship?"

Lola was about to speak up for the little girl when she suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped talking.

"..."

"In short, the Church of Destiny is better than the Sea King Society!"

"Dad, listen to me, believing in the goddess is the right thing to do."

Seeing that Carlos remained unmoved, Lola pointed to herself and said, "If it weren't for the great goddess, your daughter would be on the dissection table of the Order right now."

"Just for that reason alone, you should be devout to the goddess!"

Volume 1: Chapter 189 Coercion

The daughter's words made sense. From the bottom of his heart, Carlos preferred to believe in the goddess rather than Aquaman.

'Oh, God who saved my only daughter, if I had devoted myself to faith, perhaps I could have become a devout believer.'

But no, that won't work.

why not?

Because Carlos's daughter is a bishop of the Church of Destiny.

The cult has always liked to play the game of checks and balances, as can be seen from the fact that they assigned the two most powerful pantheons to the same city.

Although Carlos held a high position, he did not want to go against the will of the Order.

“Daughter, I know you are a bishop of the Church of Destiny, so I want my father to also believe in the Goddess.”

"But you can't force me to believe. Faith is meaningless if you force it."

"Hey, why are you so stubborn!"

Lola's desire for Carlos to convert was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor did she believe that because she was a bishop of the Church of Destiny, her father had to believe in the goddess.

The reason Lola is so eager to preach today is because she knows that the real disaster is yet to come, and that believing in the goddess now might save her life in the end!

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

"As my seniors have said, that 'virus theory' that's currently gaining traction outside is complete nonsense."

'The actions of the cult have thoroughly angered the world, which is why disasters are so frequent.'

'In fact, the beast plague is not the end, but merely the beginning of a series of terrible disasters!'

The girl didn't know how powerful the cult was, or whether it could ultimately achieve victory in the world war.

What she knew was that both her seniors and Sasha were working hard to protect the believers.

What she knew was that all other non-human races had given up on humanity, and only the angels were still persisting!

"Believing in a goddess is undoubtedly leaving oneself an extra way out; if 'doomsday' ever comes, perhaps those who are followers of the goddess will still have a glimmer of hope."

My father is a pragmatic man, and if I tell him this reason, he will definitely change his faith without hesitation.

But no, that won't work.

Lola knew her father too well; his faith in the goddess, born of gratitude, might have made him devout.

If something else is mixed in with gratitude...

'He will unconsciously hold back, and that's why he'll never reach the level of 'piety.'

Can a novice believer be saved at the last moment?

Laura is not optimistic about this.

"Alright, let's not talk about faith anymore. I have my own reasons."

Carlos instructed, "Although you are now a bishop, you must always keep a low profile."

"If you don't understand something, ask Bishop Sophia. Do what Bishop Sasha tells you to do, and don't make them angry, understand?"

"Why am I being dragged into this again?"

Lola said unhappily, "Let's get back to our previous topic. The Church of Destiny is really great, you..."

That topic is over.

Carlos shook his head and shoved the simplified version of the book back into his daughter's hands.

"We all have to get up early tomorrow, so you should get some rest."

Having said that, there's practically no room for negotiation.

Left with no other option, Lola resorted to her last resort.

"I don't care, today I'm going to explain the doctrines of my religion to you properly."

"I'm not getting up from here until you finish listening!"

As she spoke, the girl sat down directly at the bedroom doorway.

"You, you're being unreasonable!"

"I'm just being unreasonable, are you going to listen to me or not?"

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

As dawn broke, Carlos, sporting dark circles under his eyes, prepared breakfast for his daughter.

"Have something light to eat. It'll be time in ten minutes. We can't keep Bishop Sophia waiting."

"Ha~"

Lola was also yawning: "Dad, did you remember everything I told you yesterday?"

"I don't know, my mind is a complete mess right now."

"Lola, if you keep causing trouble like this, please don't come back to see me."

“Your dad is getting old, and he still has a lot of official business to handle during the day.”

"I want to work hard for a few more years and then enjoy my retirement. Please don't let me die from overwork. Thank you."

"Who told you to, ha~ not listen to me?"

"I'm stuffing breakfast into my mouth with my eyes closed," Lola mumbled sleepily.

"beep--"

Feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket, Carlos took it out and saw the number. He discovered it was a friend from his cult.

"Put the bowl in the sink after you finish eating. I'm going to take this call."

After entering the bedroom and locking the door, Carlos put the phone to his ear: "What happened? Why are you calling me so early?"

"I know that the cult's plan will be very difficult to implement, and all I can say is that I will do my best."

"What, you want me to lead the way?"

Carlos wore an absurd expression: "Don't joke around!"
