In the name of the true god

Jude knew this day would come sooner or later. Since he had "greedily" wanted to protect his brother Connor and "brother and sister-in-law" Steele, and also wanted to rescue all thirty-nine of his kind who were imprisoned, he had to bear the double responsibility.

However, he was well aware of his own limitations, so he kept trying to postpone the rescue plan until he could actually take care of both sides at the same time.

pity.

The sudden prison break in the ordinary prison ward completely disrupted his and the Descent of Gods' rhythm.

If the Divine Descent Society is not given a satisfactory explanation now, given Chairman Frost's cautious nature, he will most likely distance himself from him and continue to push forward with the plan in private.

The rescue plan was completely out of their control, and once it was officially launched, ensuring the safety of Connor and Steele would be extremely difficult.

"No one knows when the thirty-nine of our kind will be transferred to the church temple." With the matter brought up openly, Chairman Frost's questioning became particularly sharp. "Can you bear to place the hopes of the entire Saviour of God, and those of our kind in prison, on your shoulders with such limited time?"

Jude did not rush to reply.

President Frost is right.

Connor and Steele are people I care about, and only I have the motivation to consider both sides at the same time.

If there is still enough time, Chairman Frost, considering that he is also a "heretic," might give him some time.

But the church faction in the prison pressed him relentlessly, and no one knew when His Majesty Leonard would relent.

In this situation, it would be quite unrealistic for the divine intervention to give itself a month.

We have to find another way to put it.

Jude compromised, saying, "I won't ask you to wait for me; we can proceed simultaneously. You should prioritize the Saviour's Council and the thirty-nine imprisoned fellow beings. Just come up with a plan and do it; I won't hinder you in any way. And if I can devise a plan that benefits both sides before you do, I hope you will adopt it."

Currently, I don't have a good idea to break the deadlock, and the Divine Descent Society also doesn't know how to lead thirty-nine of their kind out of the special prison building in one go.

That is indeed the case.

If it's a race against time that won't affect the interests of the Divine Descent Society, then President Frost has no reason to refuse!

Of course, doing this is extremely risky.

To devise a rescue plan superior to the Descent of Gods on one's own, while considering both sides and not just the thirty-nine imprisoned fellow beings... is almost an impossible task.

However, compared to being completely excluded from the rescue plan by the Divine Intervention, Jude had no choice but to take a gamble.

"President..." Allen looked at President Frost.

As the recommender for Jude to join the Descent of Gods, and as the key figure in the rescue plan that had been painstakingly lying low in prison for three years, he was immediately terrified when he heard Jude admit that he had ulterior motives.

I'm still scared...

Embarrassed and annoyed...

At his most emotional moment, he even felt compelled to give Jude a severe dressing-down and advocate for his expulsion from the Descent of Gods.

But if you calm down and think about it carefully—

First, Jude never hid his feelings for his brother Connor and his sister-in-law Steele.

Secondly, if Jude hadn't gone to see Deputy Warden Steele today, they would have had no way of knowing the prison's upper echelons' movements, and the situation would be far more passive than it is now.

He did not conceal anything, nor did he do anything detrimental to the Descent of Gods.

Even now, the methods he proposes are based on the Divine Descent Society, and he does not force the Divine Descent Society to cooperate with him.

Jude did nothing wrong.

Chairman Frost was no fool. His wariness stemmed from his concern that Jude would value Connor and Steele more and ultimately sabotage the rescue plan for the sake of family ties.

Jude has made it clear that he will not interfere with any of the Saviour of the Gods' decisions unless there is a better way, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Yes, that's fine." President Frost agreed to Jude's request.

Jude breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me. Connor and Steele are your family. If I were in their shoes, it would be difficult for me too." Chairman Frost shook his head slightly. "On the contrary, if you can come up with the most reliable plan first, we should all thank you."

"I will do my best."

Chairman Frost hummed in agreement: "From now on, you'll need to keep a close eye on the movements of the prison's higher-ups."

"clear."

Having finished their conversation, President Frost prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he also stated his position: "Even if you don't come up with a solution in the end, we will try our best to avoid conflict with Connor and Steele during the rescue operation, out of consideration for you. This is the maximum concession I can make."

Upon closer examination, this guarantee may not actually mean anything.

After all, Connor is a priest, and anyone who encounters him is unlikely to have a good ending.

But the fact that Chairman Frost was willing to give such a signal shows that he still considers Jude one of his own.

That alone is enough.

Jude sincerely thanked him: "Thank you."

President Frost said nothing and left with Allen.

The room returned to its quiet state. The little golden retriever and the little Siamese cat seemed to sense Jude's bad mood and quietly nestled to the side without disturbing him.

"Hmph..." Jude leaned back on the sofa, racking his brains for a solution.

How can they rescue thirty-nine of their kind while ensuring the safety of their brother Connor and sister-in-law Steele?

It seems the simplest solution is to avoid their shifts.

At the same time, he tried his best to conceal his true identity during the rescue.

Therefore, it would be difficult for either the prison or the church to pin the blame on Connor and Steele.

However, after the prison break, Connor's shift schedule became unpredictable, and the prison's security level was raised to a new level.

Developing a foolproof rescue plan based on Connor's uncertain duty hours would seem somewhat passive.

Moreover, Connor's residence wasn't far from the prison.

With the prison alarms sounding, he will inevitably arrive to provide support before the main force of the church.

We need to come up with a way that will hardly affect the entire plan of the Descent of Gods, and can completely protect Connor and Steele from being affected...

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

……

Jude considered countless possibilities in his mind, and the only one that seemed feasible was to use other means to get Connor and Steele away, as far away as possible.

For example, let them go on vacation.

For example, he would personally accompany them to operas and dances to ensure that if something happened in the prison, they would be unaware and unable to return in time to help.

"Thump—thump—thump—"

Before we knew it, the clock struck two in the morning.

Jude snapped out of his reverie, temporarily setting aside his chaotic thoughts, and put the Möbius strip ring he had hidden under the bed on the index finger of his left hand, quietly waiting to meet Edmund.
