So I'm a sheep.

"Impossible, I wouldn't..."

Are you determined to force me?

"Is there no room for compromise? Please think of something."

"It's not that I'm worried about safety; how can I accept something like this!"

"..."

"Ha, I have no right to refuse?!"

Carlos slammed the phone onto the bed, his chest heaving.

He is the highest-ranking official in Aran City. How does the religious order regard themselves?

Does the cult think it can do whatever it wants? Does the cult think it can disregard me, Carlos?

I have connections and resources, so don't treat me like a nobody!

"beep--"

The phone on the bed vibrated again. Carlos didn't want to answer it, but after thinking about it, he picked it up anyway.

'I'd like to see who you send to pressure me.'

"Hey"

"Don't try to persuade me about this, or I'll get angry with anyone who does!"

After hanging up the phone, the vibration sounded again a short while later.

"Old boss, what's wrong with you today...?"

"There's no room for discussion, I'm not willing."

"Why should I be the one to lead the way? Why should I be sacrificed!"

Carlos's face flushed red, and he slammed down the phone.

"beep--"

"Heh, so you've come here to advise me too?"

"I'm telling you, no way!"

"beep--"

“My only daughter is now under the protection of angels, so I, Carlos, have no worries!”

"beep--"

"Dad? Why are you calling me at this time?" The man's voice trembled slightly.

"beep--"

"beep--"

After two hours of relentless bombardment, Carlos looked utterly defeated.

'...'

'It turns out that what I've been pursuing all along is so utterly vulnerable when faced with the cult.'

'Then what use is it to me?'

Volume 1: Chapter 190 Reality and Illusion

"Sasha, I specifically invited you out today mainly to discuss the upcoming church promotion matters."

The Church of Destiny has three bishops: Sasha, Sophia, and Lola.

Bishop Lola held little influence in the church, while Bishop Sophia was largely inactive.

Therefore, the little girl held almost all the power in the church.

'As long as Sasha agrees, there won't be any problems.'

With that in mind, the sage handed the prepared publicity plan to the little girl.

"Sasha, what do you think of this plan?"

The little girl flipped through the pages for a while and then looked surprised: "Sage, are you planning to announce to the outside world that the three bishops of the Church of Destiny are all enhanced humans?"

“Things are different now, Sasha. ‘Enhanced human’ is no longer a derogatory term in people’s minds.”

The man explained, "During the period when the mutated beasts were rampaging, many enhanced humans stepped forward to fight against them."

"After our targeted publicity, those enhanced humans who fought against the mutated beasts have been regarded by the public as heroes who protect the city."

"By taking advantage of this opportunity to announce the identities of you three bishops as 'enhanced humans,' we can definitely attract more believers to the church!"

"..."

"Sage, now everyone in Alan City has faith, right?"

"The only difference is whether they believe in the Sea King or in our Lord."

"That's true, but you can definitely win over the lesser followers of the Sea King Society!"

The man smiled and said, "This is a great opportunity to spread the glory of a goddess, Sasha, what are you hesitating for?"

"The glory of the goddess is spread by us angels, not by any 'enhanced humans'."

The little girl smiled and said, "I have an idea for you. Stop promoting the idea of ​​enhanced humans and just reveal my identity and that of the senior angel."

"The results will definitely exceed expectations."

The sage's expression changed slightly. He chuckled dryly, "Sasha, we're discussing serious matters, don't joke around."

"Ha ha"

The young girl pushed the promotional plan back: "Sage, since you invited me out today, I also have something important to tell you."

"Ok?"

"As you and I both know, the beast plague is just the beginning, and all sorts of disasters will follow."

“I can’t control other places, but if another disaster spreads to Aran City, I will have to use my angelic power.”

"Absolutely not! That's against the rules!"

The sage suddenly stood up: "Sasha, don't do anything foolish!"

Is it foolish to use one's own strength to help believers?

"This is the world ruled by the great God of All Machines, and even you angels must follow the rules of the Order."

“You could have said that without any problem before, but now the spirit is gradually reviving.”

The little girl calmly said, "Whether this world still belongs to the Machine God... is a matter of opinion."

"You dare challenge the authority of our Lord!?"

"I wouldn't dare. I only want to protect the goddess's followers."

"Sasha, listen to me."

The man barely suppressed his anger: "It is because of the rules set by our Lord that this world has been able to develop peacefully for so many years."

"Think about it, if outsiders didn't follow the rules and did whatever they wanted, the world would have been in chaos long ago!"

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

Times have changed.

“Sage, the world is changing rapidly, and your old ways are no longer applicable.”

Sasha said very seriously, "After the Order reported the situation in this world to its superiors, did they not continue to report it?"

"Does the Machine God even understand the state of this world? Has your order really received a second round of technological support?"

"Stop talking! Stop talking..."

The sage's face turned pale. He had considered the doubts the little girl had expressed.

Have the cult and this world been abandoned by their superiors?

Does the great mechanical god know about the state of this world?

Is it possible that headquarters has been hiding the truth from them all along?

The Blood-Burning Bomb is very powerful, and this beast calamity was indeed suppressed in a short period of time.

The question is, was this really just a lucky accident?

The Blood Burning Bomb was actually a product of the first technical support mission, originally intended to combat mutants.

However, it just so happens that it can also subdue mutated animals.

These doubts had been buried deep in the sage's heart, but the little girl's words suddenly ignited them all.

"Why won't you say? Could it be that you also...?"

"I don't!"

"How did you realize something was wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong!"

The light of miracles activated, and the man involuntarily spoke his mind.

It's technology.

"Oh?"

"After the first technical support arrived, I clearly felt that the religious group's technological level had made a leap forward."

"But even though the second technical support has been in place for so long, I haven't felt that the cult's technological level has improved significantly."

Isn't that strange?

"Yes, that is indeed strange."

The little girl nodded, ignoring the sage's angry glare.

“I have made up my mind to use my own strength to help those believers. Remember to pay attention to the headquarters’ subsequent actions, as this may confirm some of our conjectures.”
