In the period after the incident at the Heaven-Reaching Tower, Zhao Yiming's life remained as dignified as ever, with no immediate punishment from headquarters.
On one hand, the joint military operation codenamed "Flood" itself had no issues and aligned with the core directive of headquarters—those powerful individuals who "cross the line" are either recruited as servants or immediately beheaded.
Zhao Yiming had sought permission before planning it and did not act on his own accord.
The reason it evolved into the subsequent disaster was entirely due to the severe misjudgment of the intelligence department of New Moon City, which failed to identify the power of Fenrir's Divine Protection Level blood code.
But to be fair, who could you blame?
Fenrir's situation was too rare; who would have thought she would immediately break through a major level after a single battle? It was something unseen for a century.
