The statue was naturally found, and Victor gradually became familiar with the little boy and learned that he was the only son of the current Pope.

Pope... This position was not only his mother's obsession, but also became his obsession under her teachings.

For some unknown reason, he and Phil Gray became best friends in their daily interactions.

They attended classes together, prayed to the gods together, and discussed theories of fate and legends under the trees in the afternoon.

After witnessing Phil Gray's devotion day after day, he developed a deep admiration for him. No one would not be moved by the devotion of a believer, especially one whose motives were impure.

Infected by Phil's piety, he also began to believe in destiny from the bottom of his heart, and was promoted to the blessing level at the age of eleven.

He was very happy that his excellence was known to all the favored people in the Holy See. Some even asserted that his future achievements would not be inferior to those of the current Pope Dulce, which meant that he was one step closer to the position of Pope! Phil was also happy for him, but he could not ignore the disappointment and envy that flashed across his blue eyes.

He could only comfort his friend, saying that such a devout believer like you would be noticed by God one day, and he just needed to wait a little longer.

Three years passed in a flash. The children who had become God's Favored ones had to go to an academy specially prepared for God's Favored ones to learn relevant knowledge, while ordinary children had to continue studying in the church academy.

On the day of the descent of God that year, the Church selected three children who were already favored by God and had excellent academic performance to serve as the Sons of God. The most outstanding one was of course Victor, and Phil Gray was also canonized as the Son of God because he was the child of Pope Darcy. No high-ranking church officials were dissatisfied, as they believed that this descendant of the Gray family, the only son of the current Pope, would one day become a favored one of God, and perhaps it would just take a little time.

For ordinary people, they may not know the existence of those favored by God, and it seems natural for the Pope's son to become the Son of God.

Victor can no longer study in the same academy as Phil, but their friendship has not faded. Victor will regularly teach Phil what he has learned in the Academy of God's Favored, and Phil will also take him to present the most beautiful flower of destiny to the gods.

It was not until he was sixteen that Victor's background was discovered by Pope Dulce.

After all, he looks so similar to the members of the Grey family, with the same gray hair and blue eyes, he and Phil look like brothers.

But his mother was no longer afraid of his background being exposed, because there was no young man in the Holy See who was more outstanding than him, and he was already a well-known figure at that time.

It is almost certain that he will become the next Pope.

The mother came to the Grey family's mansion to show off her masterpiece to them. Her brother and younger brother, whom she had not seen for more than ten years, easily forgave her for leaving in anger. However, she disdainfully returned to the family and was unwilling to recognize them.

No matter what the adults said, Victor felt relieved. He finally didn't have to hide it from Phil anymore, and he could let Phil know that they were connected by blood and were real family.

Two years later, they were 18 years old, and the Vatican held a coming of age ceremony for these two saints.

However, on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, Victor heard shocking news.

That morning, he was awakened by the sound of two people talking.

It turned out that it was Pope Dulce and his Knight Commander who were talking.

He then realized that he had accidentally fallen asleep while copying hymns in the Cathedral of Destiny last night. He was in a small compartment on the side of the cathedral for people to rest and tidy up.

He was feeling a little embarrassed and was about to go out to meet His Holiness the Pope when he heard them vaguely mention his name.

Their voices were so low that Victor, who was already a very impressive person, had difficulty listening to them.

"This is the arrangement of the God of Destiny..."

"You want...Victor...but...maybe Phil..."

"One must be of noble blood, noble status, and devout faith... others are not allowed."

"Is this really what you want?"

"The gods need a sacrifice, and need his body to carry the future savior."

"Have you decided who it is?"

"To sacrifice for God will be his glory, and we will be proud of him."

"What time?"

"The contract will be signed on the day of God's coming next year, when He will actually descend..."

"The Pope's throne... maybe..."

"It is the request of the God of Destiny..."

Victor held his breath, his body trembling slightly, unable to control the shock in his heart.

Unfortunately, Pope Dulce and the Knight Commander only talked for a very brief moment before leaving, preventing him from obtaining more information.

But it was enough for him to understand that, under the guidance of God, Pope Darcy and the Knight Commander intended to sacrifice one of themselves and Phil as a sacrifice, dedicating their bodies to the so-called savior, and the time might be the day of God's descent next year.

His eyes were dyed red. Why did he have to learn such news on such an important and happy day for him?

He really didn't want to die, and he hadn't become Pope yet.

But who will Dulcie Pope choose between him and Phil?

There is almost no doubt about this. Any normal person would make the right choice between a child of a hated sister and one's own child.

He was stunned for a long, long time, so long that Phil Gray anxiously found him sitting there and asked him why he was still hiding here when the coming-of-age ceremony had begun?

Victor stood up and looked at Phil, who had been with him since he was eight years old. He touched his head and said, "We have all grown up. It's a pity that I never heard you call me brother."

Phil didn't understand why he was crazy. "We should be the same age, and according to seniority, your mother is my father's sister. You should call me brother."

Victor shook his head and said nothing, but followed Phil to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.

He looked at Pope Dulce, who was standing high above the crowd of believers, and saw the place where his portrait had stood for more than a decade. Suddenly, he no longer wanted to be a pope.

If I have to sacrifice one person between him and Phil, I'll choose myself.

Of course, Pope Dulce must have made his choice.

Then let him use the remaining time to give Phil a gift, the reward that this devout believer deserves. If the gods did not favor Phil, then he should compensate him.

In that same year, he plotted to kill another saint and another saint, leaving him and Phil as the only candidates for the Pope.

He could never ascend to the papacy again, but he hoped to see the day when Phil would sit on the papal throne.

Things will always be exposed. It happened that the day before the day of God's coming, the Knights of Destiny surrounded the residence of Saint Victor. Pope Darcy asked him angrily, why did you kill the Saint and the Saint? They are no longer a threat to you, right? Is this position so important to you? Why are you so much like your mother!

Yes, but they are a threat to Phil. With these two Holy Sons of God around, Phil cannot become the Pope.

Victor simply said: "I am willing to be the sacrifice."

Pope Dulce and the Knight Commander were both stunned, obviously not knowing why he knew this news.

Everyone else was withdrawn, leaving only three people facing off in the Cathedral of Destiny.

"So, this is why you killed those two saints?"

"Yes, I can be a sacrifice, but I hope Phil can be the next Pope." Victor said frankly.

"But he's just a normal guy."

"I guess the gods don't care."

"Forget it. Why don't you go to the cathedral tomorrow on Pentecost?"

"it is good."

Looking at their departing backs, Victor had a hint of sneer on his face.

On the second day of the Pentecost, the cathedral was exceptionally deserted.

There was a newly built altar in the church, on which was placed a contract written in black and white.

Pope Darcy had a stern look on his face, and the Knight Commander beside him also had a solemn expression.

"Phil, I hope my body can witness the moment you become Pope." Victor thought to himself and walked up to the altar.

However, when he saw the contract, he was completely dumbfounded.

Why was Phil Gray's name on that piece of paper?

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Pope Dulce, only to hear him say: "The next Pope will be the sacrifice chosen by the gods."
