As she considered the relationship between faith and gods, Ivette finally understood why, back in Adlock, the Sunflare Sect and the Cloud Summit Sect had reacted so strongly to the newly established Silver Witch Church. Even the Sun God had not hesitated to use Divine Descent.
How could they not treat anything involving the Witch of Finale with caution?
Then—
What about now?
After launching a single counterattack, the Sun God's Divine Descent had immediately ended.
Could that have actually been a tactical retreat?
Did he truly mistake her for the Witch of Finale?
If so, perhaps that would not be a bad thing for the Silver Witch Church's future development—
At that thought, Ivette felt a subtle sense of relief.
Previously, she had wanted the Silver Witch Church to expand southward mainly to avoid the True God Church in the north. She could put on an act if she had a minor conflict with an Orthodox God, but if a True God descended instead, she would probably have no choice but to flee. Wouldn't all the work she had put into building the church be wasted?
Now, by borrowing the Witch of Finale's name to intimidate others, if nothing else, divine wars should no longer occur. She could simply focus on spreading the faith, with the worst possible outcome being a few conflicts between churches.
Of course, that was the optimistic interpretation. If she looked at it pessimistically, there was still a chance that the True Gods and Orthodox Gods would join forces to besiege her. That made it even more important for her to hide herself well.
And when it came to hiding herself, aside from using the Silver Witch Church to divert faith, the importance of a Divine Realm could not be ignored. She also felt embarrassed
