440: Chapter 439 Erasing the Concept of Betrayal from the Depths of One's Heart

Thump... After answering all of Illusion Lady's questions, Smith rolled his eyes back and collapsed straight onto the floor.

Illusion Lady hurriedly stepped forward to support him, her eyes filled with guilt.

The other seventeen saints also revealed expressions of admiration.

They hadn't expected that Smith, as the Lord's original missionary on Earth, had encountered so many thrilling stories while spreading the Lord's glory.

Among them were actions that appeared on the surface to be betrayals of the Lord, which had led to suspicion from many within the church.

In reality, however, he had been acting to fulfill the Lord's glory, shouldering the heavy responsibility of eradicating the Chinese devils all by himself.

He had designed and guided the Pentagon step by step, leading them to issue the order to launch thousands of intercontinental nuclear missiles into Chinese territory.

Unfortunately, the devil is always one step ahead...

After the CIA disintegrated, a heartbroken Smith continued to endure humiliation.

He immediately rebuilt the first holy site of Christianity.

He racked his brains to eradicate the Chinese devils, focused solely on letting the Lord's kingdom descend upon Earth to save all mankind.

If a person like this could be considered a traitor, who else would dare to claim piety?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Nakamura Inao, who considered himself very familiar with Smith's character, could not believe his own ears.

"No betrayal, there was actually none..."

"How is this possible? He must be lying!..."

Beside him, Professor Disser frowned slightly and instructed the believers on either side.

"Regardless, he has passed the spiritual test set by the Lord."

"I announce that Mr. Evans is truly worthy of being the first-generation spiritual leader of our Christianity."

"Illusion Lady, take Lord Evans back to rest."

...

Pain... A splitting headache...

When Smith woke up again, he felt the world spinning.

The pain drilled from his eye sockets deep into his brain.

No...

Before even opening his eyes, he suddenly sensed that there seemed to be someone lying beside him.

A woman.

"You!..."

Looking at the saint, Illusion Lady, beside him, Smith's expression changed drastically.

Ignoring his splitting headache, he hurriedly rolled out of bed.

"I am very sorry."

Illusion Lady knelt on the bed, her face full of apology.

"Lord Evans, this is the Lord's arrangement."

Smith held his head, just about to continue asking questions, when a long-lost light screen began to appear before his eyes.

[Smith, you have passed the spiritual test and proven your piety.]

[Next, you will take the lead, with the eighteen saints assisting.]

[Execute the latest plan formulated by Trisolaris.]

Smith took a deep breath.

Although he was not clear about what he had just experienced, judging by the result, he seemed to have survived a crisis by sheer luck.

"Gratitude to my Lord!"

"No matter what kind of test it is, I will always be the Lord's most pious believer!"

"I was before, I am now, and I always will be!"

Smith said piously.

"I do not know, regarding the Lord's latest plan, what specifically do you need me to do?"

The light screen did not appear.

"Lord Evans."

Illusion Lady got out of bed, straightened her clothes slightly, and said softly,

"Please come with me."

Smith did not hesitate and followed Illusion Lady back to the Cathedral of Holy Light.

At this moment, there were many more people in the cathedral.

As the two entered, everyone cast their gazes upon them.

Smith took a quick look around and formed a basic judgment.

All the middle and high-level members of the holy site had arrived.

Guided by Illusion Lady, Smith came to the very front and took a seat.

The cardinals and the eighteen saints were all seated behind him.

At the same time, a video began to play on the big screen.

The protagonist of the video was none other than Smith himself!

"...I have never betrayed, but I repent from the bottom of my heart."

"The Lord is the most sincere and kind existence in the world, so sincere and kind that it does not even know the word 'lie'."

"How ironic!"

"From this, it is evident just how much filth is still hidden within us humans!"

"Of course, this is not our fault."

"All this evil originates from the most evil existence in the universe, the Chinese devils!"

"All the techniques of deceit and treachery in human civilization originated from and were carried forward by Chinese civilization!"

"As long as Chinese civilization exists on Earth, the filth in the world will never be washed away!..."

Everyone looked at Smith on the big screen, whose eyes sparkled with love while his words were exceptionally pious, their own eyes filled with admiration.

But Smith, sitting in the first seat, felt his spine tingle and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

At this moment, he already had a general idea of the cause and effect.

This damn saint, Illusion Lady, had actually awakened the superpower of mind control and had used it on him!

If it hadn't been for his background as the former director of the CIA, and his long-standing precautions against hypnosis, he feared he would have lost his life this time...

Fortunately.

A trace of an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Smith's mouth.

Betrayal?

As long as one completely erases the concept of "betrayal" from the depths of the heart, just like how your Trisolaris had no concept of "lies" before, then all his previous actions—the good and the bad—could be repeatedly interpreted as "piety" based on the current final result.

After all, the road to success is bumpy and winding.

There will always be some detours to take.

Isn't that right?
