In the original storyline, most of the world's religious churches were secretly infiltrated by the followers of the Goddess of Justice.

The root cause of this phenomenon is that most of these churches, like the Church of Abundance, have a pitifully small number of believers.

Some churches have fewer than a hundred members in total.

As the gods have been gone for longer and longer, more and more people have stopped believing in them.

People feel that the gods have abandoned humanity, and even if they regain their faith, the blessings they receive from the gods are insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Worse still, differences in beliefs could inadvertently trigger conflicts with other churches.

Therefore, most people began to turn to "atheism," just like the Imperials.

They preferred to enhance their own power through their own methods rather than expect to gain power from the gods.

Even though some people do gain divine power after believing in a god, a considerable number of them eventually abandon their faith because of the god's harsh doctrines.

Eventually, the number of believers gradually decreased, and the church, like the Church of Abundance, had very few believers left.

Only special beings like players might choose to worship gods because of those minor benefits.

As for the teachings of the gods, why not just treat them as tasks to obtain divine power?

Against this backdrop, more and more followers of the Goddess of Justice infiltrated these churches and became part of them.

Naturally, these churches began to gradually collapse from within.

In the original storyline, the Church of Abundance was not spared either.

Victor came at night specifically to investigate whether any believers were hiding there.

He didn't find any believers, but instead discovered some vampires inside the church.

Through his conversation with Michaela, Victor also understood how these believers had infiltrated these churches.

They claimed to be able to help believers recall their gods, and openly invaded these religious churches.

If they encounter some fanatical believers, they might just agree on the spot.

However, because Victor told Michaela about the relationship between the gods and the believers, the fanatical messenger of the gods was awakened.

This made her stop obsessing over the return of the goddess.

Therefore, when the followers of the goddess of justice appeared, she resolutely rejected their proposal.

"But since then, their insistence on infiltrating the church has made me wary."

Michaela continued.

Through Michaela's words, Victor also learned about the current situation of the kingdom.

Those believers still did not give up.

Since direct infiltration failed, they tried many other methods in an attempt to sneak into the church.

Although Michaela was able to recognize the other person's true identity through her faith.

But as a bishop, she had many other matters to attend to.

Naturally, it is impossible to personally combat every attempt at infiltration.

Coincidentally, due to Priscilla's personal reasons, a large number of vampires were attracted to the Rishurben region.

Priscilla is having a major headache over how to properly house these homeless vampires.

As the bishop of the Church of Abundance, Michaela was willing to share the Lord's worries.

She suggested to Priscilla that all these vampires should be integrated into the Church of Abundance.

"There is a strict hierarchy in vampire society. Those vampires who are displaced are often attracted to vampire princes and migrate to the princes' territories."

“They would plead for the prince’s protection and be willing to follow all of the prince’s arrangements.”

Even if their faith in the goddess of abundance was not strong, their choice to join the Church of Abundance itself demonstrated their willingness to accept a new faith.

This belief system allows them to not worry that these vampires will harm humans.

Those vampires who refuse to believe will be resolutely expelled from Shulbon.

Priscilla found Michaela's proposal very appealing and therefore agreed to try it out.

Most of the homeless vampires chose to comply with Priscilla's wishes and joined the Church of Abundance.

Michaela was willing to accept these vampires into the church because:

"Believers have long abandoned the human body; they only wear the skin of others and attempt to blend into human society."

"These believers have no blood in their bodies."

The absence of blood is almost immediately recognizable to vampires.

Because vampires are born with an extremely keen sense of smell for blood, they can tell the difference between real and fake blood just by smelling it.

Therefore, unless believers find a way to fill the skins they wear with blood again, they will remain so.

Otherwise, vampires could easily see through their true identities.

This is one of the reasons why vampires appear within the Church of Abundance.

This strategy can be said to have fundamentally prevented the problem of believers easily infiltrating the church.

"only……"

Michaela then changed her tone, expressing her deepest doubts:

"I still can't understand why these followers of the goddess of justice would be so fanatical in trying to infiltrate the church."

These believers must have some purpose in trying to join the church; otherwise, why would they be willing to let other gods return to earth?

Isn't that creating a rival in faith for the goddess of justice?

Therefore, she was puzzled by the true motives of these believers.

Upon hearing this, Viktor suddenly said:

Have you heard of the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce?

This question caused Michaela to pause for a moment.

After all, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest chamber of commerce, so she naturally knows it very well.
