?

Eberstadt hadn't been this confused in a long time.

No.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that He has never been so confused since His birth.

how many years.

No one had ever dared to tell such a meaningless and boring joke in front of Him, not even the most chaotic evil god—except for this guy.

Because of the possession, Eberstadt can quite keenly sense Herbert's true thoughts.

This guy actually has absolutely no sense of awe or respect for himself.

Although the God of Assassination maliciously "cursed" Herbert, calling him a blasphemer and a newly born godkiller.

Eberstadt knew this was a baseless slander, a way of attributing his own merits to Herbert in the hope that the gods would see this mortal as a dangerous element that had to be eliminated.

but……

In a sense, the title "God of Assassination" is not entirely wrong.

Herbert was a born blasphemer.

He had absolutely no respect for the gods.

There is some fear, but it is only directed at the great power of the divine realm; it is a form of defense against the strong.

As for the gods themselves, they showed absolutely no respect whatsoever.

From the perspective of the gods, these are the worst kind of believers, and they need to be eliminated as soon as possible.

But for a god-slayer... this feels all too familiar.

Because all god-slayers were once one of them.

The first and most difficult step to becoming a "godslayer" is to abandon your reverence for the gods.

Only those who dare to blaspheme the gods can possess the power to kill them.

If you don't even have the courage to rebel against the gods from the beginning, it's impossible to successfully kill them.

Even though Herbert is currently just a "potential blasphemer" who has not yet committed any acts, he may very well commit "god-killing" in the future.

No, it's not "I'm afraid".

He will definitely do it.

The sun goddess had considerable confidence in this.

Especially after He saw the destiny that Herbert was burdened with, He became even more confident about it.

Eberstadt had never seen such a dramatic and insane fate in any mortal.

Whether it was because he chose Herbert as the vessel for possession and used him to kill the God of Assassination, his fate underwent another change.

...towards a more dangerous direction.

Herbert's fate was now more dangerous and more uncertain than when they first met.

While fraught with danger, it is also brimming with unimaginable opportunities.

The God of Assassination was right; he is indeed a threat.

As long as Herbert doesn't die young and grows up smoothly, he is destined to become one of the gods.

He is qualified.

If it were any other deity, they might have worried about Herbert's future and chosen to nip him in the bud to prevent future troubles.

But Eberstadt won't do that.

Because He doesn't care.

The proud, blazing sun would not stoop to such a despicable act.

Even if Herbert were qualified to be among the heavens, that would not pose a threat to Him.

He is no ordinary deity.

The divine stands at the pinnacle of all spirits.

The sun god, on the other hand, stands at the pinnacle of all the gods.

He didn't care how far Herbert could go—because no matter what he did, he couldn't keep up with his own pace.

All living beings chase after the scorching sun, but the scorching sun never stops for the living beings beneath its feet.

...That was what Ebersta originally thought.

but now.

At that moment, He wavered a little.

He hesitated as He listened to Herbert's incessant words.

【“…”】

The Sun Goddess began to seriously consider—should she eliminate this guy as soon as possible?
"I do not care!"

Herbert appeared serious and resolute as he watched the clouds gradually dissipate and the sun blazing through the clouds.

But secretly, he was constantly sending spiritual messages to the Sun Goddess in his mind.

"Don't try to deny it! Even without other evidence, it's useless! My statement is the evidence!"

Fist!

"Not to mention, so many people, both present and absent, all saw it with their own eyes! Everyone saw it!"

He throws a punch!
"It was you who defied my will, forcibly allowing your consciousness into my body and controlling it!"

Throw a punch!!!

"Not only that, you also controlled my body to kill other people, doing such heinous and unscrupulous things... cough cough, this was definitely overacted, never mind."

"Anyway, I don't care who you are! Don't even think about denying it!"

"Since you've done something so outrageous to me, you have to take responsibility for it!"

"Responsible!!!"

"Confessions and witness testimonies are all available; the evidence is irrefutable!"

"This verdict can withstand the scrutiny of the gods..."

……

In his mind, Herbert was filled with joy and expressed himself freely.

"Ha ha!"

For Herbert, engaging in mental battles with the divine was nothing new.

He was engaged in a heated online battle with Nenasa almost every day, and a fierce verbal sumo wrestling match could break out at any moment.

What's unusual is that the attacked sun goddess didn't retaliate at all, allowing him to attack unilaterally.

cool!

It feels so good to keep quiet about what I should say.

My dearest sun.

This punch embodies decades of accumulated skill.

Can you handle it?
It's okay if you can catch this punch, but what about the next one?

What about the next punch?

With the immortals leading the way, I, a junior, have already mastered the art of boxing by absorbing just a fraction of their teachings.

Bah!
Take this punch!
Time passes quickly in the outside world, but within the soul, Herbert has already thrown a hundred or a thousand punches.

After unleashing a torrent of energy, Herbert finally stopped.

It's not because he can't speak.

There are plenty of examples from the past. If he wanted to say that he could just combine them randomly and apply the knowledge to other situations, it would be too easy.

But the problem is, he's getting a little bored.

The sun goddess didn't resist at all, and at first it was fine; she even felt great.

But later, Herbert felt like he was hitting a silent punching bag.

Tsk, this is so boring!

What's fun about laning?
Is it a one-sided, overwhelming output?

No.

It's great at first, but you'll get bored quickly.

The real fun of laning is always the back-and-forth greetings.

Only when facing an equally matched opponent can one unleash their full potential and achieve the most profound spiritual elevation.

After his opponent refused to use his microphone, Herbert gave up, losing interest.

So, was the sun god harmed by Herbert?
Definitely.

He even began to consider whether to bear the punishment of the order and kill Herbert directly, which shows just how unhappy He was.

The problem is, the sun god is proud.

He disdained to engage in verbal arguments with Herbert on such matters—nor would he.

【"……snort."】

Having lived for so many years, Ebersta has never argued with any other mortal or god.

Not once.

The reason is simple. In the past, the sun god always adhered to the principle of "actions speak louder than words" and would directly engage in battle when facing any enemy.

Problems that can be solved with violence are not problems at all.

But now, Eberstadt can't do it.

It's not some boring reason like pity or kindness, but simply that I can't do it.

As His assimilation with the order deepened, His concept of "self" became increasingly faint.

His current state is problematic; he is being forcibly restricted by the order and cannot act easily.

Not to mention acting out of personal anger, they couldn't even retaliate when enemies attacked their church.

Even the destruction of the embodiment of lust and the god of assassination was only achieved under the legitimate pretext of "helping Herbert repay a debt of gratitude."

If we force our way in, all of His years of effort and sacrifice will be reduced to ashes.

Therefore, Eberstadt had no choice but to endure it.

Ignoring Herbert's incessant rambling, He prepared to simply extract consciousness from his body.

But just before He was about to do so, Herbert spoke up once again.

"Dear Sun, please don't leave so heartlessly. Please stay a little longer for the sake of your humble followers."

He called out affectionately, hoping the scorching sun would stay for him a little longer.

Compared to his previous unrestrained and wild punches, Herbert appeared incredibly humble and sincere at this moment.

【"……Um?"】

Eberstadt: What is that?
Am I heartless?
Are you my follower?
And also, you... are humble?
What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!

If the moon goddess could see the sun god's current expression and sense his emotional fluctuations, she would surely be amazed.

Over the years, no one has ever been able to evoke such strong emotional fluctuations in the Sun God.

Having personally experienced Herbert's neuroticism, even Ebersta began to take this guy seriously, and slowly asked:
【"what are you up to?"】

No, what exactly are you going to do?

"Madam, please don't be nervous. I don't intend to do anything outrageous."

Herbert, sensing the caution conveyed to him by the sun god, replied cheerfully:
"I just want to ask you, since you're unwilling to take responsibility for me, and I'm not willing to be taken advantage of like this without knowing why... So, how about we both compromise?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Herbert said cheerfully, "How about we discuss a collaboration?"

"Cooperation? Ha."

Even among the gods, he was the most arrogant being. Upon hearing this, he spoke with disdain.

There was no ridicule, but rather the question was asked in a calm and matter-of-fact tone:
"Do you think you're qualified?"

Do you think you're qualified?

Just as the sun god was mocking mortals for overestimating their abilities, the mortals uttered the same words.

Not a single point off, not a single word off!
"Huh? You..." Ebersta was quite surprised.

How did you know what I was going to say?
"Ha ha!"

Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Herbert hummed with pleasure and laughed, "See, I knew it, it was that line again."

He jokingly teased, "You bunch of arrogant gods, why does every single one of you like to say that? Did you all train together in the same class?"

They were all taught by the same master, right?
This formulaic and assembly-line-like arrogance is really uninteresting.

"If you ask me whether I think I'm qualified, I think I am."

He said casually, "Not only do I have this confidence, but I can also say that you actually need this cooperation more than I do."

"Have you noticed that you are much more conscious now than before?"

【"Um?"】

After hearing the Sun Goddess respond with an "Hmm?" for what felt like the umpteenth time, Herbert had silently changed her name to "Hmm-Hmm Monster" in his mind.

All I know is "uh-huh"...

“I believe you understand your situation better than I do, Lord of the Sun. You are on the verge of being assimilated by the Order.”

The words of mortals silenced the gods even more.

【“…”】

He never expected that Herbert, a mere mortal, would see through his current situation.

Is it intuition?
Or did he sense something?
Seeing the Sun God remain silent, Herbert's heart stirred, knowing that his guess was correct, and he continued, "I don't know if this was your original expectation, but I don't think it's time for you to completely assimilate with the order yet."

"Compared to a perpetually blind, impartial, and selfless blazing sun, the world probably needs a sun god with its own will more for the time being, doesn't it?"

After Herbert finished speaking tentatively, there was no reply for a long time.

Just when he thought he might have said something wrong, Eberstadt, who had been silent for a while, finally responded.

Those were cold, icy words.

"Mortal, are you denying me?"

The attitude conveyed by the sun god was quite cold, even unpleasant.

But this seemingly indifferent response brought a relieved smile to Herbert's face.

You guessed right.

He still cares.

Great……

If the sun god were truly as indifferent as He appeared, He would not have responded to His disrespectful words; instead, He would have chosen to simply leave His body.

Once He gives an answer, it means His guess was correct—He has not completely lost Himself.

There's still room for negotiation!

Relieved, Herbert laughed and cheerfully responded to the god's question:

"No, no, of course not!"

"This is just my personal opinion, a small concern, and I'm not trying to criticize your actions."

After confirming that the other party was able and willing to talk, Herbert's attitude became quite respectful.

This change in attitude, from arrogance to obsequiousness, is laughable... cough!

"And it's very simple for me to do business with you."

Herbert seized the opportunity and began to promote his own value:
"What I want is to provide you with an alternative plan—that is, if you don't want to continue sinking into this state, I can act as insurance for your regret."

"When you are unable to influence the outside world due to certain rules, you can choose to let me help you solve the problem."

Isn't he just a tool?
This is what I am good at!

It doesn't matter who I serve, it doesn't really matter~
【“…”】

Eberstadt paused for a moment, then asked, "You mean... you want to become my chosen one?"

Herbert did not give a direct answer, but instead asked in return, "Can those favored by the gods do these things?"

Can it be done?

the answer is negative.

If being chosen by the gods were truly so convenient, then the sun god would have long relied on them to transmit his will.

It was only at this moment that He suddenly noticed a detail He had almost overlooked—that He hadn't thought much about it at the time and had almost subconsciously brought His consciousness into Herbert's body.

And He has been unable to bring His own consciousness into the Chosen Ones for a very long time.

It is precisely because he did what no one else could do that Herbert's "outlier" value is highlighted.

Seeing that the blazing sun had fallen silent once again, Herbert was quite confident about the outcome.

"I have said everything I wanted to say. The decision is up to you."

Herbert lowered his eyes slightly and asked himself softly:

"Then... the great, blazing sun."

"What's your answer?"

What decision will you make?

After Herbert made his vow, he stood quietly in place, his eyes fixed intently on the blazing sun overhead.

Waiting for a response from the gods.

Paladins do not always receive divine protection immediately after making their vows.

Gods are not machines that respond to rules; they have their own considerations and may hesitate to bestow blessings, and how much blessing to give.
There will usually be a slight delay, which is normal.

However, the current delay seems a little too long.

But just when someone vaguely sensed that something was wrong...

Change has finally occurred.

The blazing sun finally responded to the sacred vow made by mortals.

For an instant.

All the remaining dark clouds have melted away.

The sunlight shone several times brighter!
It's bright!

Everyone knew what this scene meant.

Scorching sun...

Blessings have been bestowed!
