A few minutes earlier, on Silver Arm, the Arcane Church's mother planet…
The Bishops once again gathered in the hall, sitting in their respective seats and resting with their eyes closed.
The Arcane Church's religion and authority were united; their faith and politics were inseparable. The Bishops controlled enormous power. The robe of every Bishop was luxurious, and their styles differed drastically in color and pattern, which represented the faction each of these Bishops oversaw.
The influence of this operation was enormous, so the Bishops were directly in charge.
Quite some time had passed since they sent the fleet over with the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device. The Arcane Church did not have a quantum communication network in the Flickering World, so messages could only be sent back through special methods. Therefore, the Bishops were still waiting for the good news from Sagman and the others.
