This is a kind of revelation that transcends thought and Perception, coming from a higher dimension. What the Hero can gain from it, there is no fixed answer.
But recently, the light almost became part of her daily routine, the warning light not only lights up every day, but it also flashes more than once a day, sometimes flickering unexpectedly, so much so that the Hero has become quite used to it.
'After all, times are changing, the ups and downs of destiny may just be the norm in life...'
The Hero's gaze was vacant, unwilling to delve into how much responsibility she had to bear.
'It doesn't seem like she's encountered anything bad over there, shouldn't be too worried.'
"What's the matter, is there anything you need or any questions? Don't hesitate, just say it out loud."
Perceiving the Hero's absent-mindedness, the Pope asked with concern.
Awaking suddenly from her contemplation, the Hero quickly shook her head: "No, Your Holiness, I was just losing focus for a bit."
"That's good, that's good."
If it were someone else, when talking with the Pope and getting distracted, no matter what, they would be reprimanded for being disrespectful, but the elderly man just nodded with a chuckle, in a kind and loving manner.
Recalling the Pope's commission, the Hero solemnly spoke: "Go find that Nun from the Isolated Island, then help the current Siren Princess... although I'm not sure to what extent I can achieve, I will do my best."
Though unaware of how the Pope confined within the Cathedral arranged all of this, the Hero knows the other must have his ways, and what she needs to do is to complete his task to the best of her abilities.
The Pope nodded.
"This matter is also related to the selection of the Saintess, you being one of the candidates, also represent our Church's stance, I naturally hope you can take it seriously."
Seeing how the Hero who nearly set sail to demon slay, if misunderstandings weren't cleared up, the elderly man softened his voice.
"But no need to hurry, my time as an old man is not yet so pressing that it's like a fire at the eyebrows. As long as young people are around, there is always Hope.
"Well, it's getting late, let me take you to try the Holy Meal here, the Cathedral's food is very good, there's dessert too."
The old Pope stood up, winked at the Hero, bowed towards the Crystal at Dusk, and led the Hero out of the chapel.
Following the Pope in paying respects to the Eternal Holy Sword, the Hero, while regretting not seeing the Dusk Fairy, walked after the Pope, with the tension in her heart slightly relaxed, looking forward to the dessert afterward.
She followed the Pope to the elevator inside the Holy Hall, a meticulously dressed Holy Paladin was quietly waiting there.
[Are there other Final Transition Professionals in the Church currently? (90+ yes)]
D15+80=d15(4)+80=84
He saw the two people, first scanned them with a scrutinizing look, then deeply bowed in greeting, silently stepping aside to open the path.
The first time seeing other people besides the Pope inside the Cathedral, from the cautious behavior of the other party, the Hero understood something, casting a complicated look at the calm Pope beside her.
Although the old man once said "the erosion is hardly leaking now", yet he could clear away others, and confined himself within the Holy Hall, such an eerie behavior probably has long revealed quite a few clues.
Moreover, the matter that the Hero could tell at a glance, can the Bishop and Holy Knights of the Holy Hall truly be unaware of the Deep Sea Demon?
Between them, there seems to be some kind of tacit understanding.
The Pope actively acts as a barrier, blocking the spread of Pollution, while others hold the crisis mentality that this barrier might crumble anytime, pretending as if nothing's wrong while doing the best they can.
But relying on this Silent collaboration, what can be achieved is ultimately limited, so the Pope needs a suitable person to break this situation.
If the Pope really couldn't hold on, the Holy Paladin just now probably wouldn't have stepped aside, but would have drawn the Longsword at his waist instead.
"What's wrong, aren't you coming? The dessert from the Holy Hall is truly exceptional."
Noticing the Hero's slightly inquisitive gaze, the Pope turned around, the dark circles on his face disappeared without notice, his expression serene and gentle, his every action exuding solemn holiness, as if the weary image during the conversation was just an illusion.
"Yes, I'm coming right away!"
The young girl snapped back, nodded vigorously, catching up while feeling a bit of regret in her heart for the other self who wouldn't be able to taste the dessert.
And at this time, the Depraved Hero...

The Depraved Hero was striding with an unyielding pace on the streets of the Holy City.
Ignoring red lights, traversing through designated bird routes, cutting directly through stores and even residences to take shortcuts...
The young girl's actions were free from all Taboo, as if entering an empty realm, but wherever she passed, pedestrians actively made way, even the Chocobos on the road, whether or not the coachman warned them, instinctively braked and stopped, waiting for the young girl to pass first.
Following such an almost straight line, the Evil-breaking Church soon appeared before her.
The Depraved Hero suddenly halted, raised her brow, a bright gleam flickered in her blood-red pupils.
"Seems like there's something fun going on over there? Heading to fetch the sword first will make me miss it."
