So I'm a sheep.

"..."

thump——

This must be incredibly devastating!

Having finally adapted to the bodies of young humans, they now have to suffer the torment of aging.

My lord, is this yet another trial?

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

My body is decaying; I am trapped inside a gradually rotting shell!

Sasha was in immense pain, enduring tremendous mental torment day after day.

She can't hit the punching bag anymore; her bones are brittle, and one punch could break her wrist.

The stress-relieving method of sleeping all day has also lost its effectiveness, as elderly people often have trouble sleeping.

"I might not be able to hold on much longer."

One day, Sasha said to another retired old man, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Hey, you're only in your early sixties, you're still young, don't say that!"

The sailor chuckled and said, "Look at me, I'm almost eighty, and I'm still enjoying life every day."

"Old friend, how can you be so optimistic?"

"You're the one who's so pessimistic, how could you be so pessimistic?"

The sailor thought for a moment and said, "If you feel lonely because you don't have any children, you can adopt a godson or goddaughter."

"Your brother has twins, right? Saya, you could totally..."

"No, it's not loneliness, maybe a little, but that's not the point."

Sasha picked up the teacup with trembling hands: "My aging body is causing me immense pain, and my impending death is driving me to the brink of madness."

"The longer I am bound to this body, the more it interferes with me."

"I once thought about ending my life as soon as possible to return to the heavens, but my will to live stopped me."

“In the past, I was indifferent to death, but now I am, I am not so afraid to die.”

After a long silence, the sailor said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary human being. I believe that birth, aging, sickness, and death are the norm."

“I accept death, and as I grow older, I do not have much fear.”

“Saya, you are a living saint, I don’t know how to comfort you.”

"..."

All I can say is: Old friend, try to think more positively.

Volume 1: Chapter 554 You're Right

The sailor's words gave Sasha a lot to think about, but while ordinary humans can accept birth, aging, sickness, and death as a matter of course, she cannot.

Although she is human for the time being, strictly speaking, only her body is human; inside, Sasha is still an angel.

If she had accepted these things as naturally as a sailor, perhaps she would no longer be troubled, and her current pain would have vanished.

But, but that won't work!

"To relinquish one's angelic identity means the end of suffering, Demon King. Is this what you're trying to tell me through the sailor's words?"

Sasha started talking to herself, looking like a mental patient.

"..."

The nun and the sailor who had been taking care of Sasha exchanged a glance, and then their expressions changed drastically.

The nun looked on with awe, for she truly believed every word the saint spoke, no matter how absurd or outlandish it may be.

However, the sailor was both sad and distressed at this moment.

He affirmed Sasha's talent and recognized her as a saint, a 'great person'.

But saints and great men are also human beings, not angels!

'It seems Saya has completely fallen into her own delusions and can no longer distinguish reality from illusion.'

That's right, this saint has always claimed to be the reincarnation of a seraph and has even drawn a best-selling comic.

But this is just a propaganda tactic, at least that's what the sailors always thought.

But the expression on Saya's face when she spoke just now... she was clearly serious!

Thank you, sailor.

Sasha's dejection vanished instantly: "I know what to do!"

"What do you plan to do?" the old man asked with a forced smile.

"Fight to the end, never admit defeat!"

"I will start exercising every day. If I can't hit the sandbag, I will jog slowly. When I can't run anymore, I will take more walks."

"Even if I can't walk anymore someday, I can still sway from side to side to exercise my neck!"

"Hahahaha"

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

"Exercise is a good thing, I wholeheartedly agree."

The sailor pondered for a moment and asked, "But what does this have to do with the resistance you just mentioned?"

"Regular exercise can slow down aging."

Sasha smiled and said, "Of course, for me now, aging is an irreversible process."

"I cannot resist aging, much less conquer death."

"It's alright, it doesn't matter. Let the Demon King laugh at Sally's disheveled state."

"My body will fight to the last moment, and my heart will never give in!"

"..."

"Old friend, I admire your fighting spirit, but, please promise me?"

The sailor softened his tone: "Don't let those bishops and archbishops know that this is your struggle against the Demon King. They are just mortals and cannot understand your greatness."

What I mean is...

“I won’t tell you unless they ask me, but I won’t deliberately hide it if someone asks.”

Sasha smiled and said, "Old friend, thank you for thinking of me and not wanting me to have a miserable old age."

"But if this is also a trial, I will forge ahead without hesitation!"

The sailor was taken aback at first, then said with a wry smile, "Saya, so you weren't confused after all."

"I have always been very clear-headed."

Sasha shrugged: "Don't try to persuade me anymore. Our worldviews are completely different. You think I'm delusional, but I think you're pathetic and ignorant."

“That’s hurtful. How am I pitiful or ignorant?” the sailor protested.

"Haha, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, so I'm not going to say anything more."

"In any case, thank you for reminding me, long live friendship!"

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

With her daily exercise routine and the meticulous care of the nuns around her, Sasha is still very healthy in her seventies.

The sailor passed away five years ago, and Sasha arranged Paul's funeral. Barton, the younger brother, was recently in bed due to a car accident and is still in critical condition.

As the older generation passes away, the younger generation's attitude towards this living saint has undergone a subtle change.

Of course, it's not that we don't take her seriously. Sasha was the founder of Protestantism, and every Protestant reveres her from the bottom of their heart.

However, despite their reverence, there were some things they no longer believed.

Times are changing, but Saint Shah is undoubtedly a great religious fighter and a remarkable reformer.

But she is not an angel.

Sasa's comics continue to sell well, but people treat them as just a source of amusement.

Protestants simply viewed it as a successful propaganda campaign, and no one considered Sasha as the reincarnation of a seraph anymore.

"A person as great as you must be an angel reincarnated!"

"Sage, you are waging an uncompromising war against the Demon King, the most sublime war in the world!"

The bishops and archbishops all flattered her and never said anything she didn't want to hear.

"..."

'Their eyes have changed; they don't believe me anymore.'

Sasha felt lonely, especially after the news of Barton's death and the retirement of the nun who had always taken care of her. This loneliness reached its peak.

The old lady started to talk a lot, and the nuns often heard her tell some absurd and bizarre stories.

"While the Ygg Zerg's swarm tactics are strong, their lack of top-tier combat power is a major weakness."

"When I was eating dessert, I couldn't help but think of Helen. I'll write her a letter when I have time."

"Ah, and the Sage too. I heard he's doing quite well in the Mechanical Pantheon..."

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

Decades later, 'Saya' gradually became a religious symbol.

The nuns who cared for the saint could no longer feel close to her.

You must not be presumptuous in the presence of a sage; serving a sage is the glory of your entire life.

Do not contradict the words of a sage, and do not anger the sage!

The nuns served Sasha with great care, no longer responding to the saint's nagging as their predecessors had.
