"Don’t doubt it. The thing I want your help dealing with is precisely the Love God’s dark aspect."
Aaron fell silent.
After a moment he hesitated. "Can I refuse?"
The Sack Knight was being a bit too blunt.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "What I said just now about dealing with the Love God’s dark aspect was a joke—can you believe that?"
"I don’t."
"You can."
"Absolutely not."
The Sack Knight chuckled. "Besides, whether you believe it or not doesn’t change the fact they might pull a few tricks. Your Sunset Church is right here in the Imperial Capital; you really think you can hide?"
"It’s precisely because I can’t hide that I don’t want to believe it."
A trace of helplessness flashed at the corner of his eye.
If the Love God’s dark aspect spread its sphere of influence over the entire Lokeshi Empire Imperial Capital, then whether he wanted to or not, he would inevitably be dragged into it.
There was no way he could just sit back and watch his brothers in the Sunset Church face that kind of threat head‑on.
"Then let’s fight!"
He murmured softly.
The Eternal Fierce Sun had not appeared in the mortal world for a long time, but neither the Sunset Church nor he himself had ever forgotten the doctrine the Eternal Fierce Sun upheld.
Maintain order, strike down evil, bathe the earth in sunlight.
This was the Eternal Fierce Sun’s lifelong pursuit, and also the lifelong wish of all who believed in Him.
He slowly closed his eyes and said in a low voice:
"I’ll do my best to make a move, but warfare in the information domain isn’t something you can counter just by having powerful Demigod strength. You’d better be prepared."
"Mm. Even if His Highness finds it troublesome, I’ll still go before him with the utmost sincerity and beg for his aid."
He was, of course, talking about Louis.
That prince had already climbed to the Divine Realm, not someone an ordinary Demigod can cling to and take advantage of.
Take Louis’s world called the Soldier Realm alone—it possessed first‑class capabilities for information‑domain offense and defense.
That was a world that had been upgraded step by step from the foundation of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps!
Add to that the high‑dimensional influence a Divine Realm being naturally possessed...
Leaving everything else aside, that Martial Network alone could be a big help to them.
Even though Louis had never outright explained the secrets and schemes behind the Martial Network, that did not stop sharp‑eyed powerhouses from deducing some of the Soldier Realm Martial Network’s properties by comparing it to the Mage Network.
Thinking of this, both of their expressions grew more solemn.
The Sack Knight was pondering what kind of price he would have to pay to get the other side to personally enter the fray.
If the God of Love Church wanted to further spread its faith inside the Lokeshi Empire, it could not afford to have some scandal break out at such a critical juncture.
And yet the Love God’s dark aspect was precisely the black mark the entire God of Love Church could not avoid.
Their existence ensured that when the God of Love Church’s followers brought up this matter, they could not even lift their heads.
But they still had no good way to rid themselves of this ailment.
The people of the Love God’s dark aspect were far too cautious.
Or rather, when facing the God of Love Church’s investigations, they truly did hide themselves away very thoroughly.
All he could be sure of was that he himself was not one of the dark aspect; as for anyone else, he couldn’t say.
After the incident in Tunisia, where descendants of devout followers of the Love God had their very souls polluted by the Love God’s dark aspect, the impact radius might have been small, but the ensuing upheaval within the God of Love Church was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
This gave an opening to certain people looking to spread panic: they claimed that a rift had already appeared inside the God of Love Church, and that the Love God was no longer able to protect His believers’ minds from falling, even with their devout faith.
Even on the Star Continent, where gods are widely worshiped, there are still "metrics" for the gods.
It’s not like that mysterious great power in the Far East where you only believe in whoever is useful.
But once you enter the circle of believers, the believers’ job is to offer up faith, and the gods have a lot more to consider.
How do you get your followers to "believe first"?
The simplest method, in this world ravaged by Evil Gods, is that your god can use strong faith‑borne protection to block out the threat of Evil Gods.
But if even the household of your most loyal believer has been polluted from the depths of the soul...
Then the first thing to be questioned isn’t actually the negligence of those at the top, but whether the god they believe in still has the ability to effectively protect His followers.
Once a god’s public credibility among their believers is damaged, it takes several times, even ten times the cost to pick it back up.
Let alone ordinary believers—even a Demigod Knight like Sack now had faint doubts in his heart.
What exactly was their great God thinking? Did He really have not the slightest intention of correcting His mistakes?
But no matter what, at the very least he was already doing everything within his power to respond to this crisis.
...
Location: Lokeshi Empire · Imperial Capital · Louis’s residence.
Louis, quietly pondering everything that had happened recently in a corner, lowered his eyelids slightly.
Olivia appeared behind him and said softly, "There really is something wrong. It’s not in this city, it’s in a higher‑dimensional space—something beyond my understanding is constantly devouring information."
She had no way to clearly perceive where that power resided.
But she was a Mage—one of the very best Mages.
Even if she could not trace it to its source, she could still more or less sense Its existence.
Louis fell into thought for a moment.
For someone like him, who could already unleash Divine Realm power, it should not be easy for the other party to hide its own power fluctuations.
Ordinary powerhouses should have nowhere to hide in front of him.
Yet the enemy had indeed hidden itself away; that could only mean one thing.
A mighty power beyond the Demigod Realm had appeared on the battlefield.
