Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 562 - 203: Hell, where did this Incubus Divine Favored come from; give those bastards a taste of their own medicine (10K)_3

The reason wasn't some operation of the undeserving occupying a position, it was a very simple reason...

The level of the Dungeons handled by Cardinals was vastly different from the level of Dungeons handled by an Archbishop like him.

With Sipher Archbishop's strength, if he insisted on dealing with those Cardinal-level Dungeons, the final result would probably be pulverization!

This world was just as cruel as that. If you didn't have the capability to resist the incoming dangers with your own powerful strength, you would be eliminated without hesitation.

Thus, anyone existing in the position of Cardinal within the Earth Mother Goddess Church was one of the top powerhouses of the continent.

So the question arose, even if these powerful beings, for various reasons, went into the "Coffin of Faith" ahead of time to sleep, handing over their power to the next capable successors, the average tenure of a Cardinal was at least 120 years.

Some Cardinals with special status and particularly strong abilities, who needed to be retained for long periods or competitively vie for the position of Pope, the longest he knew of had been in position for as long as 779 years.

This outcome determined that since the establishment of the Earth Mother Goddess Church until now, the number of times Cardinals had rotated was not many, and their overall numbers were very limited.

For a church elder like Sipher Archbishop, there was no situation of "never heard of any Cardinal."

However, the Holy Emblem Kael handed over, owned by a Cardinal and marked with the owner as "Tertu," was something Sipher shouldn't be completely unfamiliar with.

Yet, the pious will exhibited on the Holy Emblem, the ideology willing to share the joy of harvest with all the intelligent beings suffering from hunger and cold on the continent, and the faith so intense that it made Sipher's eyes ache...

There was no doubt that this was absolutely a Cardinal with top-tier strength.

Yet the name was so unfamiliar.

The thing was real, and the divine favor on this young man named Kael was also real, so the conclusion was evident.

They came from the future, and now he was nothing but a silhouette of history.

For many beings, if they became a part of the echoes of history in the future, the version of themselves would merely be a counterfeit covered with their memories.

But Sipher didn't have many thoughts about it, though.

Whether it was really him or not, what did it matter?

"You look quite happy," Kael speculated but still asked.

Sipher Archbishop stroked his scruffy chin, snorted, and said,

"Happy, why shouldn't I be happy? Your appearance relieved my greatest worry. Now, even if I died immediately, I would have no regrets."

Kael was slightly surprised and said, "Why would you have such thoughts? With your strength, you should still live a long time!"

"I fear the faith I've guarded my whole life would fade. Is that reason enough?" Sipher Archbishop said indifferently.

"Fade?"

"Yes, fade. Since the founding of the Earth Mother Goddess Church, from the Pope to the devout believers, we have all gathered under the great Sholgrya to alleviate the widespread tragedies of hunger and cold.

We were willing to devote our whole lives to building an ideal world where no one would die from hunger.

But now, the Church that once gave us hope and dreams has turned into the undertaker of a nation that had nothing to do with us.

And the reason for this, merely to maintain the voice in the Holy Empire of Briania, has completely deviated from our original intention.

Do you know, when I saw those believers who once trusted us so much, sacrificing everything to protect Sholgrya's glory, or more precisely, to protect the Church's interests, and transform into petitioners, my faith was more shaken than ever!"

When Sipher Archbishop said this, his tone was very calm, as if chatting and laughing with someone, but the despair in his words made Kael shiver.

It was precisely because he had gathered much information from the Earth Mother Goddess Church that he understood that what Sipher Archbishop was saying was true.

After the Alliance led by the Holy Empire of Briania annihilated the last resistance of the goblin empire, the old man spent 2 years sending the remaining petitioners one by one to Sholgrya's divine realm.

Then, not long after, on a peaceful windless afternoon, he quietly ended his life at home.

It had to be said, this was a very tragic ending.

Kael just didn't expect that from this time, Sipher Archbishop had already been deeply shaken.

When the tragedy of history had become the past, what was left was only the echoes of that magnificent era.

Everything had already been settled, but at this moment, Kael felt it was so fortunate to reach this understanding with someone who was originally an enemy!

So, he chuckled lightly and said, "Yes, everything has already become a tragedy, and all things are already too late. But sometimes, I am just such an unreasonable person.
