Then why on earth would he also smile like an idiot when talking to Chiyoh about Hannibal

Hannibal 2x08 - “Su-zakana”

Will is the one he worships and wishes to have his soul bound with in the afterlife. He is the Reckoning and the Rapture. The second coming of Christ was upon them and Will was not going to be a savior, but a tyrant. And Hannibal knew it.

Hannibal was and is his apostle, spreading the news of his return. He is his friend, Peter, who saw him walk on water and was not afraid. He is also Judas, who kissed him as betrayal, who ultimately came back to him, Judas on his knees and ending his life in utter devotion. Peter and Judas, who believed in the lamb of God and all the powers he held.
