In a normal-looking cathedral, Sky and Maria are sitting on a long bench of the middle row while on the long bench that is two rows behind them is a man with golden hair wearing a white robe and a mask. To avoid any confusion, that man is Michael.
"First of all, I admitted that I am somehow working with the Poison Master, but why would you think that he will recover so fast from his previous fight that almost cost his life? Which means it is unreasonable to have a thought that he is capable of breaking into your house and kidnapping that lady. Secondly, about your accusations towards me, I shall be here to clarify that I never for once had any cooperation with any ladies in The Kingdom, neither the Queen nor any other lady official. I hope I make that clear enough." said Michael.
"Michael, you can deny everything as you like, but do you realize how serious this situation is? Or do the ultimate consequences of that Physical Dimensional Block would bring benefits to you that you don't even bother about it?" said Sky, despite being slightly wavered by the words from the angel, he still feels that Michael is directly in charge of the Physical Dimensional Block.
"Yes, I do. I have been looking for a way to remove that thing these few days without needing to sacrifice anyone, and now you have found a way but yet wasted time here for a lady, who is the one that doesn't understand the seriousness of this whole situation?" Michael asked back, slightly dissing.
"You... Hah... I see. Maria, let's go, it seems like we can't get any information out from his mouth." said Sky, slightly irritated by Michael's words but at the same time feeling that what he said is not entirely wrong...
After Sky and Maria left the cathedral, Michael stared at the gigantic crucifix in the cathedral without saying anything, he looks rather thoughtful and slightly repentant...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Darling, now that the ex-archangel Michael refused to spit out anything, what should we do now?" Maria asked as he anxiously grabbed Sky's arm.
"Maria... I have a feeling that he is not lying and I think I know who kidnapped Ai." said Sky, out of the blue.
"Heh? What?" As always, Maria is confused.
"I kept the orb that contained the boy's consciousness in my tiny storage box dimension that you usually stole my snacks from. Once you touched the orb, your will be able to see it, place the orb into the core of the dummy to transfer the boy's consciousness into the dummy and let him deactivate the Physical Dimensional Block." said Sky in a serious tone.
"Wait! What?! How about you?" Maria exclaimed, his instinct telling him that there is something wrong with Sky.
"I have my own thing to do, just do as what I instructed you to. And no matter what, do not follow me, please." said so, Sky turned away from Maria and started running in a direction.
"Ah... Darling..."
Despite being a bit worried about Sky but Maria hardened his heart not to follow him since for Maria, nothing is as heavy as Sky's 'please'...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Sky walked on the street at a really fast pace, his head is recalling everything that happened since Dark Prince told them about the situation in Null Dimension when he is still in Kapis. The more he analysed the situation, the more he realised something is wrong with Dark Prince. Through the clues he collected, he has a great feeling that it has nothing to do with Rei, especially with those suspicious words and actions from Michael, he can totally confirm that the Ex Archangel knows everything and at the same time he is obviously giving hints that Rei is not the one that is behind this mess but the 'other lady official' as mentioned by Michael since Sky never told Michael about his suspicions towards Grace.
"However, if it's not Rei, then why would Terrence tell us that... Hold on, in fact, he never actually said that it has anything to do with Rei, he just gives us an impression that it has something to do with Rei... Damn it! He tricked us!" Sky thought as he speeds up his steps.
Then, Sky recalled how Dark Prince reacted immediately almost as soon as he returned to Null Dimension from Kapis Dimension, as if he has been waiting for their return since the beginning. But why would he do so? And why would he even block the link between Null Dimension and Afterworld? Did he know it beforehand that they will have to go to the Afterworld?
With all these questions in his head, Sky started running...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Cross hideout, Athena is playing ladder and snake board game with Sal and Xenoo. Dark Prince is doing his work as usual. Then, someone started knocking on the door violently from outside. Sal stood up and opened the door, it's Sky.
"Master Vlansky, what are you doing at here?" Sal asked, kind of oblivious of the reason for Sky's arrival.
"Is Terrence here?" Sky asked, trying his best not to be rude to Sal as he feels that Sal and the other two might be innocent.
"Terrence is in there doing his usual paperwork." said Sal.
Hearing that response from Sal, Sky is even more certain that Terrence had been tricking everyone since the beginning, including the assassination of Lex, the White Knight of The Kingdom...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
