"The more the Church supports me, the more it proves I have done the right thing. The more the heretics oppose me, the more it proves I have done the right thing."
"Even when heretics praise me, it further proves I'm right. If heretics stay silent, it shows I have done impeccably!"
"If the Church opposes me, it means they have all fallen into evil heresy, and the more heretics oppose me, the more it proves I have done the right thing."
In the year 681, An Su was crowned the youngest Pope in the history of the Church. During his speech, he provided important guidance for the forthcoming de-divination work, emphasizing:
"Now that both the Church and the heretics oppose me, it precisely shows I am on an exceedingly correct path!"
...
The year 685.
"It is not that the Evil God cannot be summoned, but that choosing him to take the stage is more cost-effective."
Such was the assessment of the former holy woman of the demons, Yage Silvia.
This statement, once made, instantly attracted attention from all sectors of society—the extensive documentary "The Legend of Pope An Su" continues to broadcast for you.

This is a story of a top-tier heretical player speedrunning through a fantasy world.

The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"To be honest," Merlin said expressionlessly to An Su, "I don't know either. Ever since you made me throw together those questions, the Association hasn't let me be an examiner anymore."


"Didn't you draw a scapegoat to take the blame for you?" An Su was quite surprised.


"Because the scapegoat I drew was too unlucky, had already taken the blame for me thirteen times before, and now the bishops see him and don't believe it anymore; they all unanimously think it was my doing."


Merlin sighed helplessly, frustrated at the inefficacy.


This guy just isn't capable, merely took the blame thirteen times before getting exposed. The Church's bishops suspected him, even the Church's dim-witted leaders couldn't be fooled, let alone outwit those cunning and despicable Esoteric Sect Followers.


Incompetence was bad enough, but coupled with bad luck, that was his lot in life.


"...It is really miserable being under your command."
