Crushed by Astarte's Valkyrie Judgement, the two Zenith Ants collapsed onto the ground. Astarte made a grasping motion, pulling them toward her before s.h.i.+fting her gaze onto the Empyrean Tower where Konrad currently resided.

　　"Master, I have captured the intruders and are bringing them to you."

　　She alerted through a mental message.

　　"Mhm."

　　Konrad approved while finis.h.i.+ng his session with Zamira. But before Astarte could fly toward the Tower, Krann returned to the Jade Capital alongside his battalion. Astarte's eyes locked onto his, and seeing the urgency s.h.i.+ning within, she could feel that his last trip didn't end in the wanted success.

　　"Lady Astarte."

　　Krann bowed, then, alongside his troops, vanished to reappear within the Empyrean Tower where Konrad was currently indulging in a Carnal Wine Pool. The Carnal Wine Pool was an invention of his, inspired by a famous Earth Tyrant.

　　Like the name implied, wine replaced water, high-grade cultivation wine that snuck past the pores to refine the body and enhance energy reserves while the cultivator rested inside. Twelve scantily clad concubines lied in the bath alongside him, tending to his body while he relaxed in their arms.

　　"Your majesty, why hasn't your true body been visiting the second floor as often as before? We can't dual cultivate as efficiently that way! Are you bored with us?"

　　"Your majesty, I've reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. Please help your servant breakthrough…"

　　"Your majesty, my b.r.e.a.s.t.s feel sore..."

　　"Your majesty, I think my b.u.t.t is losing firmness..."

　　"Your majesty…"

　　"Your majesty…"

　　"Your majesty..."

　　As the dozen of honied sounds invaded Konrad's ears, in a twister of jade light, Krann appeared.

　　"Master, please forgive my incompetence!"

　　He exclaimed while dropping into a kowtow.

　　"Relate the events."

　　Konrad ordered in a calm tone while stroking the cheeks of his concubines. At that time, Astarte appeared, bringing alongside her the two suppressed Zenith Ants.

　　"As you ordered, I led a battalion against the Celestial Church and crushed them at a rapid pace. However, never did I expect that the Wirth would rather die than compromise! Unlike the moon, dream and paragon spirit elders, led by Anatol, the Wirth elders all chose to offer themselves in sacrifice to the merit stele and expedite the opening of Heaven's Gate!"
