That time, he did indeed summon the afterimage of the Goddess of Plenty, but it was merely a phantom formed from a wisp of divine power.
And if that's really the case, the person she should have offered herself to was Vega.
After all, he couldn't possibly support such powerful magic on his own.
So, with a slightly sarcastic smile, Viktor asked softly:
"If the goddess really descended, would you still do what you're doing now?"
"this……"
Victor's words silenced Michaela for a moment.
Undeniably, Michaela is no longer as fervent as she once was.
As Victor said, the absence of a goddess is very important to her.
She viewed the future arrival of the goddess as a natural destiny, rather than an event in which she could personally intervene in the course of fate.
If the goddess truly returns in the near future, it will be destiny.
Even if they did not return, it was fate.
However, whether or not the goddess returns to earth, it will not change Michaela's faith in the goddess of fertility.
This is exactly what Victor has said so far.
If the goddess returns, will she dedicate herself to the goddess or Victor?
Michaela stood there, and after a brief silence, she was speechless, unable to offer a rebuttal.
Viktor's words seemed to have short-circuited her thinking.
"It seems that, as a messenger of God, your faith in God is not firm enough."
Viktor said this with a slight smile.
Victor understood Michaela's tendency to constantly want to sacrifice herself.
This confusion can be easily resolved by clearly explaining the situation to her.
Therefore, Victor asked Michaela directly whether her faith was in a god or in him, Victor himself.
After all, what if the other party chooses to pledge allegiance to a goddess?
Regardless of whether the gods can return to Earth, as a bishop, she should maintain consistency between her words and actions.
But if she insists on holding onto this idea, how can she, who should be devoted to the gods when they descend, offer herself to Victor?
Upon hearing Viktor's words, Michaela fell into deep thought.
She seemed to have something more to say, but Viktor preemptively interrupted her thoughts:
"Now, let's get down to business."
“Those believers must have tried to disrupt your church.”
When the topic of religious belief was mentioned, Michaela adjusted her expression slightly and nodded gently in confirmation.
It wasn't just harassment; it was more like a direct attack on their church.
It seems that this is because Michaela had tried to help Gwen escape that state of justice without divine power in order to assist Victor.
Since then, Victor has warned her to be especially wary of the followers of the Goddess of Justice.
The Church of Abundance is likely to be secretly targeted by those things.
As Victor predicted, for a time, the Church of Abundance welcomed a group of people who claimed to be believers in God.
They expressed their desire to join the Church of Abundance to Michaela.
If Michaela hadn't remembered Victor's warning and sensed that these people's intentions were impure,
The Church of Abundance is very likely to be infiltrated by those believers without them even realizing it.
The appearance of these believers also made Michaela realize this.
Her attempt to help Victor cure Gwen was not permitted by them.
This further proves that the believers were absolutely aware of Gwen's changes.
So she decided to stop hiding it and confess all the details she knew to Victor.
“Those believers came to me.”
"They claim they can help me recall the goddess and bring back the goddess of abundance."
Upon hearing this, Viktor raised an eyebrow slightly, showing clear interest in Michaela's words.
"You mean, they claim to have the ability to bring back the gods?"
Michaela did not give a definite answer, but calmly stated:
"I'm not sure if they really have that ability; maybe it's just a strategy they're using to try and infiltrate the church."
"In short, I always remembered your teachings and rejected their offer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Viktor fell into deep thought.
I see.
It seems that the timeline has indeed deviated from his prediction.
