Seeing Eve and the others looking at him with mocking smiles, Heinrich knew he had to take action! Therefore, Heinrich secretly decided to find an opportunity to break free from Elina's restrictions on him, return to the Divine Spirit Realm as soon as possible, and voluntarily report Eve and Elina's plans to the higher authorities. Although such actions would certainly incur severe punishment from the Divine Spirit Realm and might even implicate his daughter Tonali, Heinrich knew he could not worry about that now! For him, the most important thing at the moment was to protect his daughter's personal safety and prevent her from suffering harm from Elina!
However, Eve and the others, who knew Heinrich just as well, naturally understood what was going on in his mind. Therefore, realizing that Heinrich was determined to sabotage their plans this time, they finally changed their strategy against him and ultimately harbored murderous intent.
But how easy was it to kill Heinrich? You see, if priests were to fight among themselves, it would be a much more serious crime than betraying the Divine Spirit Realm. Moreover, an additional layer of protection was imposed on each priest by the Divine Spirit Realm, making any malicious conflict among priests immediately detected. This control was particularly stringent for priests in the Dark Chain Plane, and so, even if Eve and the others managed to kill Heinrich, they would inevitably be stained with the holy marks scattered from Heinrich. Once their bodies were contaminated with these marks, no matter where they fled or how they hid, they would unavoidably be exposed under the Divine Spirit Realm's gaze.
Not to mention that Heinrich, as a quasi-intermediate priest, already had a significant advantage in strength over Eve and the others. Now, with both sides in a tense hostile situation, Heinrich was bound to be doubly vigilant against their every move. Therefore, the best solution now was naturally to have Elina, who possessed the most powerful strength, take action to kill him.
Elina was naturally willing to take on this task. However, to her frustration, Heinrich had coincidentally enhanced his ability to produce top-level armor by consuming his offspring, which was how he had enhanced his personal strength. Moreover, with the energy boost in the Dark Chain Plane, Heinrich had the ability to create a top-tier protective armor that was equivalent in defense level to that of a senior armor in the Divine Spirit Realm. Under the protection of this top-tier armor, even Elina, who had elevated her strength to a catastrophic level, could not kill him in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Elina would have turned Heinrich into a cloud of blood mist during the recent conflict.
Since Elina couldn't shake Heinrich at all, she could only temporarily confine him to prevent him from running amok. Therefore, Elina set up a powerful energy barrier in the command hall and imprisoned Heinrich within it. This not only made it easier for Eve and the others to monitor Heinrich's words and actions at any time but also cut off Heinrich's chance to escape back to the Divine Spirit Realm through the teleportation gate at the lowest level of the base.
The riot caused by Heinrich temporarily came to an end, and Eve and the others once again devoted all their energy to the final stage of the purification mission. They also dealt with Heinrich's earlier transfer of power to them, casually fabricating an excuse to the Divine Spirit Realm's Department of Sacred Business Expansion, explaining why Heinrich could not personally get in touch with them.
Heinrich, imprisoned within a cylindrical energy barrier in the command hall, was left there like an exhibit for people to visit. Since he could only passively resist Elina's attacks with his equipment, Heinrich did not have the absolute strength to contend with her. Therefore, Heinrich dared not act recklessly day and night, continuously using words to attack the subordinates of the traitors before him. Although Heinrich knew that his behavior could not stop Eve and the others' action plan, he could at least vent all the anger in his heart without reservation in this way.
Due to Heinrich's continuous verbal attacks, Eve and the others appeared extremely indifferent. In their eyes, Heinrich was now just a poor creature who could only mutter endlessly. However, for some reason, Elina suddenly began to pay extra attention to Heinrich after their last encounter, which inevitably led to Heinrich noticing the subtle changes in Elina's attitude towards him.
You see, although Heinrich was full of hostile intent towards Elina after learning that her plan would threaten his daughter's life, he still had thoughts beyond friendship for her. This made him pay special attention to Elina's attitude towards him. It was because of this that Heinrich quickly noticed the subtle changes in Elina's attitude towards him and inevitably harbored evil thoughts mixed with anger and malice towards Elina.

Hehe! This guy Heinrich is really beyond redemption! Hearing Heinrich's description of his psychological state at the time, Hao Yun and the others simultaneously sneered in their hearts.
However, given Heinrich's passive situation, it was not entirely his fault that he transformed all his anger into a desire for punishment against Elina. Because the cold Elina would occasionally walk over to him and exchange a few words in mutual verbal abuse, seemingly aimed at mocking Heinrich for his useless shouting. Over time, Elina even began to engage in some brief exchanges during the mutual verbal abuse. Moreover, Elina later curiously asked about Tonali.
At first, Heinrich thought Elina was asking about Tonali to further strike a blow to his psyche. However, what Heinrich did not expect was that Elina would unintentionally praise Heinrich for showing fatherly love towards his daughter during one of their conversations, and meaningfully lament the beautiful scenes of being pampered by her father in the past. It was this topic of fatherly love that made Heinrich feel that his relationship with this female demon had finally progressed further. As a result, the two gradually moved away from outright sarcasm and insults whenever they met, starting to communicate peacefully about matters concerning father-daughter relationships.
Due to Elina's strong confinement, Adam and the others didn't worry about Heinrich escaping. So one day, Eve temporarily handed over the command hall to Elina to watch over and herself went separately to Earth NX and the Divine Realm to continue the final stage of purification.
Since Eve and the others were on their missions, the remaining Cleansing Messengers returned to their rooms to rest. Thus, with nothing to do, Elina entered the empty command hall and once again chatted with Heinrich about matters regarding father-daughter relationships. Heinrich, with complicated feelings, found it difficult to resist Elina's initiative. He suppressed the wild fire in his heart and reminisced about amusing incidents with his daughter's growth, hoping to use this to move Elina and possibly gain her favor towards the Tonali network. Besides this, Heinrich also wanted to take the opportunity to showcase his caring father image, to increase Elina's goodwill toward him.
Unfortunately, Elina did not change her thoughts of attacking the target due to Heinrich's stories of father-daughter relations. However, after listening to Heinrich's account, Elina, who seemed to have felt a resonance, seldom shared more details of her upbringing under her protective father and even inadvertently showed a hint of envy towards the Tonali.
This led to Elina's explanation, which sounded completely different to Heinrich. He did not expect that Elina, who seemed frosty, difficult to approach, and demonic, would be someone with such a strong paternal complex! Heinrich tried to maintain a fatherly expression on the surface, while generating many strange images in his mind and thereby having more impure thoughts.
Up to this point, the desire for Heinrich's heartstrings was gradually rising, and he even produced a twisted psychological satisfaction, celebrating the conflict and friction with Elina to protect the safety of his daughter. In Heinrich's view, it was precisely because of his daughter's affairs that allowed him to show strong fatherly love and protectiveness, which finally gained Elina's sufficient attention and allowed him more opportunities to interact with Elina.
After this period of seclusion, Heinrich seemed to feel that there was a subtle change in the relationship between him and Elina. Moreover, afterward, Heinrich also found that Elina's voice in conversation with him seemed to hide a slightly friendly concern amidst her coldness. Heinrich was very pleased with Elina's subtle changes. Because of his experience, Heinrich knew that Elina's slight change in attitude towards him meant she was just a few steps away from being taken by him! Perhaps as long as he demonstrated more intense fatherly love, it wouldn't be long before Elina actively threw herself into his arms! After another conversation with Elina, Heinrich fantasized happily in his heart.
Since then, Heinrich continued to insult Eve and them verbally in order to express his anger. However, when Heinrich expressed his anger, he would focus on rendering himself willing to fight Eve and them at all costs for the safety of his daughter. His purpose was naturally to strengthen his fatherly image and to melt Elina's icy mood through his strong protective desire for his daughter, thereby increasing his influence on Elina. As for whether Elina would open up to herself, let herself be driven back to the Divine Realm to report Eve and them, or open up to the daughter Tonali, promise not to harm her-it was beyond Heinrich's expectations.
In short, even if he couldn't stop the evil plan of Eve and them, he might as well find a way to get Elina to hand. Heinrich's mood fluctuated and he calculated it. It is not known that the reason why Heinrich came up with this evil idea was that the fire had already expanded the crack in his body's imprisonment unknowingly, and once again his mind had been violently attacked by the original sin of lust. Heinrich was only a step away from falling completely and completely.
