431: Two helpers

Inside the Earth Goddess Church.

Ugly, pink, large octopus was pacing back and forth in the workspace belonging to the Pope.

Hara occasionally adjusted his large glasses, his brows filled with tension and anxiety.

"Oh, Pope... when will you be back?"

At present, the Earth Goddess Church could be said to be surrounded by enemies.

This little octopus of his was not an alien species, but Helden had told him everything.

He understood why so many powerful races had such strong opinions about the Earth Goddess Church recently, and why he could even hear about violent incidents between the church's believers and outsiders every day.

To resolve this matter, the King went alone to the Blood Race's Holy Temple to negotiate with the super powerhouses who wanted to destroy the Earth Goddess Church.

A long time had passed now.

There was no news at all.

Hara was panicking.

In the past, for any matter, as long as the King made a move, he could lie in his bubble bath and leisurely drink fresh watermelon juice.

There was no need to worry; the King could always solve anything.

But this time... it was different.

Their enemies were forces led by the two super races, the Demon Race and the Blood Race, nearly half of the alien races, alien races with even stronger powers, and the cosmic army that would soon pierce the sky and descend upon the Galaxy!

How could the King... fight alone?

Hara was so anxious he was almost in tears.

Because he suddenly remembered that when the King retired more than a year ago, he said he wanted him to be the Pope and take his place.

The King once said that the Human Race had a saying: 'Great virtue carries great responsibility'.

If one's virtue did not reach that level, one was unworthy of that position, and even if one temporarily sat in it, one would eventually fall.

Therefore, at that time, his super brain had calculated that only if the King left, would he have a chance to take that position.

At that time, the King said he couldn't die, which meant his super brain had a problem.

But now, the King told him that the future enemy was the cosmic army!

Moreover, let alone the future.

Currently, the Earth Goddess Church was already in great difficulty, and the moment of life and death was gradually approaching.

Everything seemed to be heading in a very bad direction.

The later the King returned by one second, the more pessimistic Hara became about the future.

If it were before, the King would have already resolved everything.

Now that so much time had passed, it could only mean... this matter seemed difficult even for the King to resolve.

The more Hara thought about it, the more panicked he became.

But suddenly, a familiar, majestic voice echoed in his mind.

"Hara!"

The pink large octopus trembled, suddenly straightened its boneless back, and said to the air, "Great King, Hara is here!"

"Good. For about a year or so, I will remain in the Blood Race's Holy Temple and cannot leave."

"What!?" Hara was greatly shocked, saying, "You compromised with those people?"

"You actually compromised?"

Helden calmly replied, "How many times have I told you to be steady in matters and not to make a fuss."

"From now on, the Earth Goddess Church is entirely under your command!"

"Me?" Hara was dumbfounded, saying, "How can I manage it?"

"I can't do it, I'm so weak, they won't listen to me!"

Helden said indifferently, "If you really couldn't do it, would I have kept you by my side for so many years?"

"Have confidence."

"Alright, tell me about the general situation of the church now."

Hara was flustered, saying, "Pope, more and more people are attacking our believers. Yesterday, over a hundred believers died in violent incidents."

"This directly led to thousands of believers becoming scared and leaving the church."

"I've calculated that if this continues, the entire church will fall apart in just one year."

Helden calmly said, "Okay, next, send out all the missionaries. They will dismantle, and we will mend."

"Then, if there are any more violent incidents, fight back directly."

"Because Arthas promised me that as long as I don't leave the Holy Temple, he won't touch the church, so there's no need to be afraid. He is in the wrong."

"But... it's not easy to fight." Hara sighed, "Those thugs are definitely organized behind the scenes, like hooligans, without any bottom line, specifically attacking our believers when they are resting."

"It doesn't matter, two helpers will come to find you later."

"Helpers?" Hara was startled.

"Yes, that's how the general matters will be handled for now."

Finally, Helden said in a deep voice, "Hara!"

"The church has reached a moment of life and death."

"But you must always remember our doctrine."

"Always believe that the blue ocean you desire exists!"

"The church is truly entrusted to you now."

"Before, I would bear everything for you."

"Now, it's your turn to carry it."

"After you welcome those two helpers, go to the secret room on the Ninth Layer underground."

"I have prepared something for you!"

With that, Helden's Mental Energy departed.

Hara stood alone in the room, looking out the window, his eyes filled with deep worry.

War was imminent.

He was just an ordinary little octopus, whose brain simply worked faster than others, and who was better at flattery, which was why he had reached this position.

In reality, he sometimes couldn't understand why the Pope valued him so much.

Aside from quickly handling some unimportant minor matters, he was completely unable to deal with truly major issues.

No one would choose to rely on a soft, pink octopus.

Because such a creature just seemed unreliable.

He was too weak.

Why would King Her take a liking to me?

In the Black Demon Eye Clan, if you threw a brick, you could hit four or five powerhouses capable of splitting heaven and earth.

In the Qujiao Immortal Clan, anyone you randomly pulled out was a Physical Body monster capable of punching through mountains and rivers.

Even within the church, there were countless powerhouses.

And him?

He was just an ordinary little octopus, nothing more.

To ask him to lead such a group of monsters forward.

He would probably be drowned by an overwhelming tide of spit on the very first day this was announced, right?

No one would obey him.

He was just a weak octopus... Suddenly.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock on the door came.

Hara immediately became nervous, because the people outside the door must be the two helpers King Her had just mentioned.

Who could they be?

Hara was a little nervous and expectant.

"Creak."

The door opened.

The two people who appeared before him made Hara stare blankly.

These are our helpers?

One was a scruffy, black-haired man with messy, greasy hair.

The other was quite special; he wore a mottled, broken mask, his figure hidden beneath the Earth Goddess Church's unique forest-green cloak.

He didn't recognize either of them.

The one in the church robe was harder to judge.

But that other tall man, why did he look so much like a Human Race member?

Good heavens... most alien races look very similar to the Human Race.

So some people joked that a Human Race member walking among alien races might not even be recognized.

At this moment, Hara's dark, round eyes flickered, scanning the book held in the tall man's hand.

The Little Prince.

"You like reading this book?" Hara raised an eyebrow and smiled.

The tall man nodded, his messy black hair shaking with the motion.

"It's a wonderful book, isn't it?"

These simple words made Hara's heart suddenly pound.

It wasn't that the content of these words was special.

It was the tone of this person's voice; why did it feel so sacred?

Sacred, yet not overbearing.

You could defy, you could retort, but listening to it felt very comfortable.

More than a sense of sacredness, Hara felt it was... like a spring breeze, forming a sharp contrast with his disheveled appearance.

A feeling of an otherworldly expert spontaneously arose.

"Oh, right, let me introduce myself." The tall man smiled slightly.

He raised his hand, tidied his messy hair, revealing a pair of clear, youthful eyes.

The moment he saw these eyes, Hara's body trembled, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He felt like he had seen these eyes somewhere before!

He must have seen them on TV, definitely.

They were somewhat similar, but for a moment, his brain seemed to have crashed, and he couldn't remember!

At this moment, the tall man smiled, "Hello, my name is Kong Fangxiang."
