"...Ah?" Upon hearing this, the Hero's mouth dropped open, almost thinking they had misheard.
Seeing her expression, the Fourteenth Princess smiled as expected and continued talking about what happened at that ti.
At that ti, the Hero's brother had probably been stealthily staying in Alien Machinery City for so ti.
As soon as he appeared, he took over part of the authority of the Golden House, then used stacking ritual formations to paralyze the entire magistrate's army in one fell swoop and trapped this strongest Pantheon Mage in Alien Machinery City.
Then, without a word of nonsense, he drew his sword-staff without hesitation and directly attacked the Executioner.
Although the commotion of that battle was not as outrageously powerful as when the Hero shattered the Core Tower with a single punch, it was still a Pantheon-level battle, and the scene was extrely spectacular.
The clash of overloaded magic devices and chained arcane arts was so intense that even in the patronized buildings of the Golden House, one could feel the shock of its aftermath.
Recalling it now, the Fourteenth Princess still had lingering fears on her face.
"Bro, did brother take out the Executioner?" The Hero swallowed a gulp of saliva, feeling anxious.
Although completely eroded by the Theater, the Executioner of Alien Machinery City was still second only to the City Lord outwardly and, in the absence of a mature City Lord, was even practically the highest leader.
The brother won't be wanted, right...
Seeing through her concern, the Fourteenth Princess shook her head with a peculiar expression.
"No need to worry. Although he didn't communicate with us in advance, he was clearly well-prepared—the Executioner secretly manipulated his wife, the First Princess, to assault the Saintess, and secretly t with Empire spies, having long planned to flee with the chanical Core to the Empire. In short, he was committing treason...
"Before taking action, your brother had already disseminated all this intelligence along with ironclad evidence through the Magic Net."
The Hero listened in amazent.
The Fourteenth Princess continued, "And he wasn't able to kill the Executioner. After all, Alien Machinery City is the Executioner's territory. When the incident occurred suddenly, we didn't have ti to support him, and although your brother used the Golden House to launch a surprise attack and severely injured him, he couldn't finish him off on the spot.
"Moreover, during the fight, the Executioner seed to perceive sothing, stopped fighting, and started a conversation with him."
"Conversation?" The Hero asked doubtfully.
"Yes, but the content of the conversation was relayed to by the Master and Mr. Bishop, and they didn't hear it very clearly, only catching a few words."
"...Perhaps that was brother purposely letting you hear it." The Hero thought for a mont and understood.
Although Demon Hunter and Cruising Bishop are professions known for their perception, she knew of her brother's ability. If he didn't want to be overheard, even she would have a hard ti eavesdropping now.
"What did brother and the Executioner say?" The Hero's expression beca serious.
There might be information there brother wanted to convey to .
"The Executioner said at the ti that he slled the aura of 'Awakening Calamity' on your brother." Although she didn't know much about the Wandering Country, she could understand the ominousness within those words, and the Fourteenth Princess's tone was a bit heavy.
Hearing this, the Hero's expression turned stern.
"Then, your brother stopped the attack and exchanged a few more words with the Executioner... but we couldn't hear this part clearly.
"Lastly, he specifically inquired about the matter of his sister, to which the Executioner told him that as long as the demon chanism inside her was removed, her spirit would have the chance to slowly recover.
"Although her transformation was very deep, making the removal and repair both very difficult, the people of Fine Craft Church and Uncle Border Count were already trying to find solutions."
At this point, a trace of gratitude appeared on the Fourteenth Princess's face.
The Hero scratched her cheek a bit bashfully.
She had initially planned to check on the state of the First Princess after resting, not expecting her brother to have already helped resolve the issue.
Since it involved physical recovery, she should be able to help as well.
She should visit the Fine Craft Church afterward.
"After the conversation ended, your brother didn't pursue further and allowed the Executioner to leave.
"After that, the Executioner vanished without a trace from Alien Machinery City."

[Episode 7: ...]
Nightmares return to the Deep Sea, demon chanisms rest in obscurity, execution shattered.
...The stage is empty.
However, the devices still operate—never ceasing until calamity strikes.

After the disappearance of the Executioner, with the loss of this Pantheon cornerstone, the humankind faction in Alien Machinery City essentially beca leaderless.
"Logically speaking, this was the best opportunity for the chanical Empress to strike." The Fourteenth Princess paused, "But your brother didn't imdiately leave the city, instead staying for a few more days... although he still didn't speak with us, simply preoccupied with his own affairs in the city, as a Pantheon, he significantly tilted the scales in our favor."
Not to ntion, this Pantheon is also the brother of that Saintess.
During this gap, the Kingdom almost took full control of the operations of Alien Machinery City; the Church imdiately dispatched the Divine Wood Bishop to hold the fort.
The uprising of the Intelligent chanisms then fizzled out, becoming inconclusive. The chanical Empress also acquiesced to the previous negotiation results, joining the council of Alien Machinery City as a demon, becoming one of its mbers.
Although she still controlled most of the Magic-guided Intelligent chanism, she could no longer stir up any storms.
The chanical Core has essentially belonged to the Kingdom, and the Church is also planning to officially establish a Pantheon-level cathedral there.
The Fine Craft Church in the Holy City, along with the arcane engineering scholars from the Mage Association, are now eager to move.
