Of course, during that period, the Sinful Desire would absolutely not dare to show itself willingly.

As for the reason the Sun God intervened, the Moon Goddess did not express her opinion. She shook her head and softly said, "However, whatever His reason was, it's good that the child was saved."

Compared to the true reason why the Sun God took action, they actually cared more about the "Angel" that was saved.

Or rather, that fortunate Divine Favorer.

The vast majority of beings in the world appreciate the "Brave."

Even though the Crimson Knight showed disdain for the Divine, the Gods would still praise his bravery.

Differing stances cannot change their views.

When Herbert was ambushed by the God of Assassination, they originally thought Herbert would die just like that. The always sentimental Spring Bud Goddess even shed a few tears emotionally.

However, before they had time to regret, the Sun God descended upon Herbert.

At this moment, the Goddesses completely relaxed, relieved that an excellent "Hero" did not die in vain.

A hero can sacrifice, anyone can die.

But they should never die so senselessly at the hands of assassins!

Their fate should never end in such a bleak manner!

Regardless of anything else, it's good that he was saved.

"..." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Moon Goddess, along with the other Four Seasons Goddesses, silently nodded, quietly watching the scene within the crystal, seeing the form engulfed by the Holy Flame.

At this moment, she appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she was slightly suspicious, thinking uncertainly, "Really? Is it really like this?"

"Why do I somehow feel something isn't quite right?"

Although lacking one-hundred-percent proof and certainty, due to familiarity with the Sun God, she constantly felt the real situation might be more complicated than others believed.

"For instance, did He have to save that mortal for some reason?"

The thought crossed her mind, and then she laughed at her own idea, shaking her head, "Hmm, that seems even more impossible."

"How could He possibly do such a thing! Haha!"

...

It wasn't just the Goddesses in the Natural Sanctuary thinking; other divine beings and Legendary-level powerhouses observing were also continually exclaiming and marveling.

But there was one person, at this moment, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"...Gulp."

The eyes of the Sun Pope, seated on his chair, were about to pop out.

After Herbert was assassinated, he was originally going to act in anger to seek justice for him.

But he never expected that someone would act faster than he did.

And that someone turned out to be——the Sun God!

Ah?

You you you...

Upon realizing who it was, the Sun Pope was completely dumbfounded.

Damn!

"My Lord actually descended upon Herbert!!?"

As an accomplice, the Sun Pope knew the real situation better than anyone, knowing that although Herbert appeared in the guise of an "Angel," he was not actually a follower of the Sun God.

In principle, even if Herbert heroically sacrificed himself, the Sun God would never cast a second glance at this impostor.

Not to mention that he's not real, even if he were an angel, he'd receive the same treatment.

Yet now, the god he serves actually broke protocol to favor Herbert!!?

Why?

What secret does Herbert possess?

The Sun Pope felt a rare panic, knowing he might have made a big mistake this time.

Herbert could very likely be a chess piece arranged by the Sun God, or even a crucial part of some grand plan.

The kind of vital piece that simply cannot fail...

But the problem is, damn it, Herbert never said a word!

This kid never told me anything!

I didn't know!

If I knew he was this important, I surely wouldn't have let him do such dangerous things!

My Lord!

Please, you must trust me!!!

It's this kid who set me up, who wants to put me in an unjust position!

After frantically praying to the Sun God for a while, the Sun Pope also felt a surge of excitement.

"Haha!"

"My Lord still exists!"

"Even though He might not be in the right state, He still has independent consciousness!"

This realization allowed the elderly man, who had supported the church alone for hundreds of years, to let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his burden lighten.

"That's great, you really are still here... hehe."

.

.

The awe, doubt, and joy from the outside, Herbert was completely unaware of.

The joy and sorrow between people do not connect; Herbert now feels they are merely noisy, and... hot.

So hot!

"Hiss..."

As the Radiant Holy Flame scorched him, Herbert half-opened his eyes, drawing in a cold... scorching hot breath!

Already unbearably hot all over, this inhalation made his entire throat start to heat up as well.

Hiss ha!

Since obtaining the Giant Dragon's legacy, possessing the ability to be immune to fire damage, Herbert had not felt the burning sensation in a long time.

He felt the scorching heat of the flames like he was being pushed into a blaze to be burned.

It even made him remember a past life event when he once rushed into a fire to carry out a child—a truly dangerous moment, luckily there was water in the fire hydrant, or else he might have perished together.

This burning pain actually indirectly proved one thing—the Radiant Holy Flame was not truly a "flame."

Fire was merely its outward expression; its true essence was pure light.

He was being scorched by the Holy Light!

With the Sun Goddess controlling his body, Herbert had no need to panic, simply enduring all of it quietly.
