He would soon officially stand before the Divine Spirits, attracting Their attention.

Yet their gaze has never been a positive blessing, more often symbolizing destruction and death.

The Evil Faction would also set their sights on him.

Fortunately, by this time Herbert had advanced to Legendary, and was no longer weak in the Mortal Realm.

The Evil Faction would still view him as a stepping stone towards advancement, looking for chances to kill him to gain reputation, but would no longer see him as a lamb easily manipulated.

Additionally…

Not only enemies, but even allies, would cast dangerous glances his way.

The Evil Faction is fragmented, but the Justice Faction is not a unified front either.

In terms of hidden agendas and self-interest, the heroes of the Justice Faction may not be much better than the vermin of the Evil Faction.

Everyone would be watching Herbert, trying either to become him, or to bring him down.

"But... do you think this is appropriate?"

Herbert, slightly calmed, shook his head and slowly said to the Sun Pope, "I know you want to endorse someone to end the chaos within the Church."

To a Pope of high standing, both the conservatives and the liberals are merely members of the Church, no different from one another.

Ivansen tacitly allowed their struggle, but had grown tired and did not wish for them to continue this internal conflict.

Such childish squabbles were utterly meaningless and needed to stop.

To strike a balance, he would introduce a third force to break the existing equilibrium.

"I am indeed not part of either the conservative or liberal factions, a suitable candidate."

"But the problem is, I'm not even part of the Sun Church!"

Herbert was furious.

Am I one of you?

You're treating me like a tool?!

Did we sign a labor contract?

Are you adhering to labor laws?

Is there any justice, any law left?

Oh... they're a Church, they don't abide by laws.

Then does the Religious Court have any Scripture left?!

Look up!

The Sun is still watching you from above!

"What's wrong with that? Your identity is even better!"

Nonetheless, Pope Ivansen smiled calmly, eyes narrowed, and said, "In fact, because you are an outsider, it will stimulate those stubborn little fellows even more."

Herbert cared about his identity, but the Sun Pope viewed the matter from another perspective.

Outsider?

That's... even more stimulating!

If they couldn't even compare to an outsider, what face did that group of people have to petition Our Lord?

"It's precisely because they are overly concerned with these trivial matters that the Divine Spirit abandoned them, lost interest in them."

At this point, the Sun Pope's smile faded, emanating a terrifying majesty, and snorted coldly: "During the period of our Lord's partial dormancy, they indeed caused me quite a lot of trouble, humph!"

The old man snorted angrily, the sound was not loud, but it caused a slight vibration throughout the space.

Ivansen had long been dissatisfied with them, only lacking an appropriate opportunity to discipline them.

The God of Sinful Desire's provocation gave him that chance.

And now, he had finally awaited the right moment.

Now, the opportunity had come.

The Sun Pope intended to use Herbert to convey a message—Our Lord is disappointed in you! He would rather support an infidel than bless you!

That was the Sun Pope's plan.

If successful, it would achieve multiple benefits, making the Sun Church the biggest winner.

They would successfully boost their prestige among the Divine Spirit Church and demonstrate to the world the enduring power of the Sun God.

Additionally, they would successfully establish a "model" for everyone in the Sun Church to pursue.

Motivate those idle individuals to get engaged and stop playing with useless tricks.

"Um, did you forget one thing?"

With a look of exasperation, Herbert raised his hand, interrupting the Pope's vision, and said solemnly, "The most important thing!"

"What thing?"

The young man stared at the elder, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "It seems I haven't gained any benefits here?"

According to the upcoming developments, Herbert would become the focus of attention, most likely viewed by the younger generation of the Sun Church as a thorn in their side.

I was just here to fish around, did you have to burden me so much?

Is this right?

This isn't right!

Furthermore, the most important thing is—where are my benefits?

Herbert glared at Pope Ivansen, nearly reaching into his pocket.

Benefits?!

Give them to me!

The various risks previously mentioned, all the chaotic matters of being watched by the world, are actually unimportant.

When you are weak, you can hide and conceal yourself amidst the tree canopy.

But once you've grown and become an elephant, you can't hide behind a tree anymore.

In fact, Herbert now was not afraid to step onto the stage.

Since the night he formed an alliance with Nenasha, he had known this day would come.

And he was prepared.

Now Herbert had sufficient strength to protect himself, plus the Monster Girl henchman team was becoming increasingly luxurious.

As long as he didn't deliberately provoke the Divine Spirits or clash with a few dangerous strong individuals, he could traverse the Mortal Realm without hindrance.
