Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 540 - 200 Kael, you even refuse to call me Godfather (10,000)_2

The priests of the Losanda Church also had limited energy. If they spent a lot of time investigating the past crimes of a demon, the time and effort consumed might prevent them from saving those in need.

Kael could only guess Bishop Robert's thoughts from back then. If Kael were in their position, he'd probably do the same.

Unless Kael himself could find a way to break the deadlock.

As an incubus from the Bottomless Abyss demon race, it could practically be said that chaos and evil were its symbols. Finding one among these chaotic and evil beings who possessed true goodness, beauty, and virtue was nearly impossible.

So, the simplest solution, much like HR during recruitment, was to elevate the educational requirements and increase the relevant work experience needed for the job. By controlling the denominator, they artificially selected "qualified applicants" from the vast sea of people.

Panning for gold among the muck or sifting gold from the sands is far inferior to refining gold from a mine!

The Dawn Lord Church clearly lowered the denominator to execute the church's justice more swiftly and accurately, thereby choosing to abandon the slight chance of benevolence within the demon clan.

The reason the Holy Churches were called Holy Churches never stemmed solely from their formidable power.

The Black Sun Church of the Prince of Lies, that gathering of mad dogs, if you take any one church from the Holy Hall that governs the sacred Briania and pit them against the Black Sun...

To be honest, any single church from the Holy Churches would hesitate a bit.

After all, at least for many races on the continent, the gods worshipped by the Holy Churches indeed represented "justice" to some extent.

So was Anthony wrong?

From his father's perspective, that unseen mother clearly differed from ordinary incubi. She might not even use others' lifeforce as nourishment for growth, like himself.

In principle, he likely did nothing wrong, otherwise deviating from Losanda's ideals, Anthony would not have kept his Divine Favored status.

As a husband protecting an innocent wife, was he wrong?

As a father wishing for his child to grow up with a mother's companionship, was he wrong?

The answer was no, he wasn't wrong.

So after an intense inner struggle, within about a second, Kael adjusted his mindset, raised his head, and said:

"Bishop Robert, can you tell me about my father?"

Seeing no resentment in Kael's words, Bishop Robert hesitated. He could have asked nothing, but when he looked into Kael's eyes, his expression softened unconsciously.

Robert understood clearly that he was not influenced or bewitched by the incubus's power; he simply saw in Kael's eyes not a candidate for the Lion Heart title.

Naturally, it couldn't be the Divine Favored of Four Gods, the theoretical master pushing Dinel to greater heights, the founder of the War Mage System, the Lord of Lancaster...

Those identities meant nothing to him.

He just felt that Kael's deep blue eyes looked so much like that person's...

The one Robert once regarded as his ideological successor.

In those turbulent demon invasion years, he lost everything and viewed that child as his entire legacy, working tirelessly all these years to help the child set sail toward his ideal. But due to various reasons, they nearly became estranged.

Ah, he truly was Anthony's child. Look at those eyes, just like his father's.

However, why was it that Anthony didn't survive?

A deep hatred flashed in Robert's eyes.

If it weren't for that woman, Anthony could have grown faster. As a Divine Favored of Losanda, the Dawn Lord Church would not hesitate to invest in him...

Provided he abandoned that woman.

The Losanda Church was relatively reasonable, Robert could testify to that. Even when Anthony clearly refused to abandon the incubus, the Dawn Lord's followers did not retaliate against Anthony or choose to execute the incubus.

In fact, the church never even rejected Anthony's contact with his old friends in the Dawn Lord Church.

But this didn't mean Anthony was unaffected.

The most obvious impact was that Anthony could no longer receive substantial resources from the church.

The more special the individual's status, the more likely they are to face backlash if they don't align with their expected position.

If he had obediently followed his and the church's advice, he wouldn't have taken half a year longer to advance to the Holy Land, thus failing to protect his wife during an unexpected disaster.

If it weren't for his stubbornness, in that battle two years ago, he might have already taken a step toward becoming a legendary figure amongst humanity.
