Everett was wholeheartedly devoted to My God, but he always considered himself a man of skill. He would offer his unwavering loyalty to My God but could not sacrifice his own life. Therefore, there was a tiny disagreement between Everett and My God on how to help My God ascend to the Divine Lord's position.
Everett did not plan to press forward personally, after all, Orlando's previous actions had happened not too long ago. Clayton Bertram was nothing special, and though the monster beside him used to be unstoppable, now that there were many Divine Followers around, it seemed there was no need to worry anymore. However, who knows if the young man had more terrifying means hidden? So, Everett chose an "ally."
Isn't the purpose of allies to be sacrificed when crucial moments arrive?
