Sorry for the delay, i will publish the remaining 3 chapters tomorrow,

"Yes, the Bloody Butterfly is currently being held in the deepest depths of the Sky Prison."

Amon said with a trembling voice, revealing this fact.

As he spoke, the second prince of the empire couldn’t help but pinch his thigh repeatedly. After all, even now, even after seeing photographic evidence, he could hardly imagine that the Demon Temple, that is, the Bloody Butterfly, could be captured?! And to be locked up in the Sky Prison.

Isn’t this too fantastically magical?

’And…the guard who dared to arrest the Bloody Butterfly and send her to the Sky Prison is really awesome...’

Involuntarily,

Amon developed an indescribable admiration for that certain guard.

If he had the chance, he would really like to meet this bold subordinate.

Of course, that would have to wait until all these current issues were resolved.

After a helpless sigh, Amon turned his gaze back to Kael, the supreme leader of Asumos Church, and asked the question that everyone present was most concerned about.

"Your Holiness, what should we do now?"

As soon as he said this,

Almost everyone focused their gaze on the blonde man.

In fact, everyone present was cunning and experienced, having faced countless storms. Whenever they faced crises or difficulties, they could always propose various solutions. But this time, these absolute powerhouses were truly at a loss.

After all, The current situation had completely exceeded their expectations.

As the ultimate goal of the Holy War plan, as the enemy of all humanity, the Demon Temple unexpectedly came forward to surrender and was obediently locked up in the prison. This situation was unheard of. Throughout the centuries, they had never seen an enemy who held a great advantage yet came forward to surrender.

Could it be that the thought processes of the demons are different from humans?

In summary, they could not understand the actions of the Demon Temple, nor did they know how to deal with this sudden situation.

When discussing the details of the Holy War plan previously, they had designed several contingency plans to deal with unexpected situations. Unfortunately, they had never considered this scenario.

’Who in their right mind would expect the enemy boss to come forward and surrender?!’

’Is this boss either stupid or what?!’

Faced with the questioning gazes of everyone present, even Kael was unsure of how to respond at this moment. After reviewing the documents provided by Amon again, Kael looked around at those present with mixed feelings.

"No matter what, the Bloody Butterfly’s unexpected behavior has completely shattered our original plan, so the planned Holy War must almost certainly change. Before that, I think we should not act against the Bloody Butterfly."

"Do you mean we should just wait and see?" Amon asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, the Bloody Butterfly’s voluntary capture must have some other plot behind it. Until we understand the situation clearly, we should not act rashly. Moreover, all the battle preparations we have made, including laying mines, hiding magic formations, and setting up barriers, were all arranged around the coronation ceremony venue. If we act hastily now, we will lose all the advantages of the battlefield, and our combat effectiveness will decrease by at least thirty percent. Therefore, I suggest we strengthen the guard of the Sky Prison and turn the suppression system inside to its maximum efficiency. At the same time, prepare for battle outside the Black Death Sky Prison."

Saying this,

Kael looked towards the location of the distant prison with a solemn gaze.

"But no matter what, the Bloody Butterfly is undoubtedly our enemy and must be eliminated. Even if there are flaws in the Holy War plan, our ultimate goal will not change. So, everyone, you know what you have to do, right?"

"..."

Faced with Kael’s words, everyone looked at each other, not voicing agreement, but also not objecting.

Overall, they tacitly accepted Kael’s approach.

After all,

They were also not fully confident about acting against the Demon Temple on a whim, as many necessary preparations had not yet been completed.

Seeing no objections, Kael then turned his gaze to the silent, white-haired girl who had been silent for a long time. At this moment, Kael’s gaze lost its previous warmth and elegance, showing a hint of anger and dissatisfaction.

"Bai, where is Mengxi? Why is she missing from such an important meeting?!"

"Ah?!!"

Startled by Kael’s question, Bai Yunluo suddenly woke up from her daze, somewhat confusedly meeting Kael’s gaze:

"Your Holiness? What did you just say?"

"Where is Mengxi?!"

Feeling the anger in Kael’s words, Bai Yunluo instantly became alert, dispelling all confusion from her eyes.

"Ah?! Sorry, Mengxi, ah, no... the Saintess, she, she just started her Close Cultivation yesterday!! She’s practicing soul magic to be able to withstand the power of many believers during the upcoming Holy War. So, that’s why she couldn’t come here."

Bai said, lowering her head, and giving the excuse taught to her by Yumo.

It turned out that this excuse was quite good.

Practicing soul magic is a crucial step, and a slight carelessness could lead to deviating into evil or even exploding and dying. Therefore, even facing such an important time, Kael dared not forcibly interrupt Mengxi’s Close Cultivation and could only glare at Bai Yunluo with mixed feelings.

Clearly, Kael accepted this explanation.

Realizing this, Bai Yunluo let out a long sigh of relief, and her frantic heart finally calmed down.

After all,

If the Pope knew that Mengxi had been arranged by the Bloody Butterfly to somewhere unknown, she would probably be devoured alive by the Pope.

"How long did Mengxi say she needs?!"

"No, no! But, she will definitely come out before the day of the coronation ceremony..."

"This girl, why choose this time... Forget it, let’s not talk about this now. After Mengxi comes out of Close Cultivation, have her come see me immediately!"

"Yes, yes!"

Bai Yunluo lowered her head, answering with trepidation.

...

...

While Bai Yunluo was communicating Mengxi’s situation with Kael, a ’handsome man’ with flowing black short hair and dark green highlights, standing among the Holy Tower’s mage team, was thoughtfully looking through the window towards the distant Sky Prison. It was Tania, the Church’s first earth apostle, disguised as the supreme leader of the Holy Tower, Nolan.

’What exactly is the Bloody Butterfly planning?’

With the plan completely disrupted, Tania couldn’t help but bite her lip hard.

’Could it be?’

’She really plans to comply?’

Normally, if the Bloody Butterfly truly gave up fighting and chose to surrender, it would be a great thing for the Church and for all of human society. However, Tania didn’t quite think so...

What she needed was conflict, a do-or-die conflict...

What if the Bloody Butterfly really lays down, and no great war occurs?

How would she awaken her ’real goddess’? How would she take revenge on the ’evil entity’ who toys with people?!

’Damn it!’

Tania lost her composure and punched the wall.

However,

The anxiety caused by the disruption of the plan was not only felt by those within the temple. A similar situation occurred among the members of the Black Rose family in Sabellius, at the southern tip of the Anvika continent.

With the news of Yumo’s capture reaching Sabellius, the entire Black Rose residence was thrown into chaos...

—"It’s terrible, My Lord! Mother has been captured and put in jail!!!"—
