Upon speaking of this, the Knight Commander expressed so bewildernt, sighing, "This choice of His is utterly pointless, except for provoking the Sun God."
"But even if He could actually provoke the Sun God, wouldn't that just create trouble for Himself?"
The Knight Commander indicated his lack of understanding.
Is He itching for a burn from the Sun God?
What kind of person would willingly provoke that raging sun?
Does he have a death wish?
"I can only say, the actions and behaviors of the Evil God are indeed beyond comprehension, to commit such pointless madness."
Bored and looking to provoke the Sun God?
Truly incomprehensible.
Indeed, one shouldn't use human reasoning to deduce the Evil God's actions.
The Knight Commander shook his head, sighing, "What on earth is He after?"
For what exactly?
The Ashen Bishop remained silent, only able to sowhat guess why the God of Sinful Desire would do such a thing.
However, she could hold her composure, while so could not.
"Right? No, no, no, acting mad without reason, isn't that just pure madness?"
Not without reason.
And Herbert, from within the skirt, shook his head repeatedly, half-grinning, half-sighing, "Ah, this world, even evil gods have their grievances~"
"Getting beaten up, can't defeat the opponent, but at least shout a few tis, right?"
To outsiders, the provocation by the God of Sinful Desire seems utterly unreasonable, akin to a sudden fit of madness, defying logic.
But in His view, this was actually a very restrained and moderate retaliation.
Got beaten up, and rely sent an apostle to intimidate so common folks without really taking action... If it weren't for Him leaking information deliberately, would the Sun Church have discovered the issue so quickly?
Probably not.
If the Evil God was really intent, when the Sun Church arrived, they would only see a land of corrupted flesh.
The God of Sinful Desire rely wanted to save so face for Himself, not planning to really turn against the Sun God—there's no benefit for Him in that.
rely a small, even humble, completely disproportionate counterattack and revenge.
Lose the fight but not the battle.
Bark a couple of tis after losing, to show that He hasn't bowed.
This behavior is already quite clownish and embarrassing, He believes the Sun God wouldn't mind His "whimpering barks."
But... the God of Sinful Desire still miscalculated.
The Sun God indeed did not speak or make a statent, but the Church of the Sun exploded.
As loyal believers of the divine, they absolutely could not tolerate such "provocation" from the Evil God!
Trying to corrupt a city, really?
This wasn't just an ordinary Evil God Church!
A heavy fist must be wielded!
"Hah."
The Ashen Bishop agreed with Herbert's view, giving a cold snort, disdainfully saying, "What holy war? They're just seizing this opportunity to vent."
As one who has seen much, she quickly pinpointed the unusual aspect of this affair—the Sun Church's reaction was sowhat overly intense, even excessively aggressive.
"Those people who are obsessed with purifying others with the Sun Holy Fla, what are they thinking? Have they finally lost patience after all these years of restraint?"
Without much thought, one could guess the fervor the Sun Church would be in upon sensing an anomaly with the Sun.
They were probably already caught in a frenzy, celebrating the revival of the divine.
Due to the Sun's slumber, this group had remained dormant for too long, finally finding an outlet for their discontent... how could they possibly let it go?
Clearly, the Sun Church intended to blow this matter out of proportion and make a grand show of it.
To use it as an opportunity to showcase their might to the world once again, reminding the world of the Sun's strength.
No need to guess their aim, it was certainly just that—to make, the Sun Church, great again!
Anyone with eyes could see the real intent behind the Sun Church's extre actions... no, these guys weren't even hiding it, blatantly showing their cards.
I just want to make an example of the Sinful Desire Church, to announce to the world—your sun, has returned!
The Knight Commander also noticed the Sun Church's intention, nodding:
"Yes, I think so too, they're using this opportunity to divert internal conflicts within the church."
Every sect has internal factional struggles.
There's the extre faction, and the conservative faction.
In the Sun Church, the extre faction believes they should strike hard against the Evil God Church.
While the conservative faction thinks the extre faction's view is too conservative, not extre enough—just hitting the Evil God Church isn't enough? Might as well wipe out the Evil God altogether!
The Sun Church is fiercely motivated, but the Ashen Bishop is not too optimistic about their chances in this "holy war."
"It won't escalate, or even if it does, they won't get the desired outco."
Before any fighting even started, she already concluded—it's a waste, there's no play, purely for show.
The God of Sinful Desire indeed is outpowered compared to the Sun God, falling short in hard power.
But He was never a pushover, easy to handle.
As an ancient evil god with high-tier divine power, the Evil God Church He cultivated is not weak at all.
Moreover, the Evil God Church's specialty is hiding, their main strategy being to escape when undecided on action.
Can't beat you, but can't I evade you?
To really play hide and seek with the Sun Church, they'd be left helpless.
So the Ashen Bishop concludes that this drama is very likely to fade away inconclusively, ending pitifully.
She gave a light snort, looking at the Knight Commander who was about to speak but stopped, and said lightly, "Go on, what is the real purpose of their contacting you this ti? I don't believe they really think we would send people to get involved."
The Mist Monastery is a holy place for suppressing the remains of evil gods, independent of all divine church systems.
It accepts invitations and requests for help, but is never under the jurisdiction of any church.
For ssy affairs like holy wars, they never get involved… even if cultivators participate, that is their personal action, the monastery will not interfere.
The Knight Commander silently nodded, slowly saying:
"As you said, the Sun Pope also guessed our response, and he ca up with another request—if we are unwilling to send personnel for assistance, he hopes we can lend the Sun Angel Battle Armor to them."
Hmm?
Herbert, who had already quietly moved beside the snake tail, ready to make a move, suddenly paused upon hearing the keywords, raising an eyebrow.
Sun, angel… those two words sure sound familiar!
Is the Sun Church planning to make use of Luhier's old suit?
Wait!
Wasn't Luhier's whereabouts unknown?
Could it be that it was actually exposed long ago?
"Heh, I knew it, that guy is still not giving up."
The Ashen Bishop snorted, sneering, "Back then, before that angel died in battle, he personally gave the battle armor to the Archbishop, the Sun Church simply isn't qualified to reclaim it."
"Since they've shalessly asked, you don't have to refuse, I agree."
"However, you must make it clear to them—loaning is possible, but the battle armor must be worn by our people, and after the end, it should be returned directly without any form of delay."
At this point, as if she thought of sothing amusing, her mouth curled into a smirk, and she chuckled, schadenfreude evident, "Otherwise... heh, soone will co to claim it."
"Thinking, he'd definitely be pleased to take a trip."
Hearing this with a tone of sarcasm and threat, the Knight Commander remained silent, while Herbert was amused.
Both of them had guessed the perfect choice for that "delivery guy."
Could there be a more suitable candidate than "Saint Old Deng who found an excuse to venture out"?
Probably not.
Even if there was, so particular Old Deng would quietly make them disappear.
Anyone who blocks the Archbishop's leisure outings would vanish without a trace.
Hmm, isn't it magical?
"As for the choice of the one to wear the battle armor, you may decide, just not… hmm!!?"
While assigning tasks to the Knight Commander, the Ashen Bishop couldn't hold back this ti, her body visibly shook.
Under the Knight Commander's puzzled and astonished gaze, she clenched her fists tightly, biting her teeth hard.
Crack!
Knight Commander: ???
Again?
What happened this ti? Did it remind her of sothing angry?
The Knight Commander dared not to ask and didn't want to, silently turning his head away, pretending not to notice anything.
I know nothing, I saw nothing, I am not here…
And at this mont, the Ashen Bishop couldn't afford to care about him, her full attention shifted under the skirt.
Her! Ber! T!!!
You damn!
Stop… no!
Hurry and shut up!
