The process of capturing the goddess went quite smoothly; however, nothing developed according to what the Human leadership had envisioned.
After the goddess was captured, the goddess's Favored Clan still insisted that the goddess was truly the goddess.
This act of the Humans—imprisoning the goddess without permission—was a kind of blasphemy. The Angels demanded that the Humans immediately release the goddess and accept the goddess's punishment, otherwise they would show no mercy.
This plan existed precisely in order to prove that the goddess was not the goddess.
The Human leadership naturally would not hand the goddess back so easily; while negotiating terms with the Angels, they simultaneously made full preparations for war.
Incidentally, the technology of the Nine-Life Cat Demon became ever more mature during this period.
