"Now how should I deal with them?" Eren felt really conflicted at the moment.

He couldn't leave them behind to suffer, but if he freed them, it might be the start of a new war which was more problematic.
He wanted the Northern Continent and the Western Continent to fight so that both sides could lose in the process. That's what he had been working so hard for.
If the Eastern Continent waged a war first, the Necromancer Tower was going to remain unaffected. If anything, they were going to grow even stronger with the opening of hell.
He knew that both the choices were bad. He could only reject the two choices he was faced with, creating a third choice himself.
"Felona, can you come here for a moment?" He contacted Felona through the contract mark on the back of his head.
Felona had been keeping an eye on the Sea Dragon Empress who was going through a peaceful evolution.
As soon as she heard Eren's voice in her mind, she summoned another Spirit from the Spirit Realm to keep an eye on the Sea Dragon Empress.
She created another portal for herself, connecting to Eren. Now that most of the protection of the Holy Church was destroyed, she could freely appear next to Eren even when he was inside the Holy Church.
She stepped out of the portal to ask Eren why she was summoned.
"I want you to take all of them to the Spirit Realm, and keep them imprisoned there for the time being," Eren told Felona, his hands gesturing towards the prisoners in front of him.
"Should I keep them asleep like we did with that little girl?" Felona asked Eren, remembering that that had done the same thing with the Western Continent's Overlord's daughter.
"That is right. Don't let them know about the involvement of the Spirits. They have suffered a lot throughout their time here. Just let them sleep peacefully until I handle everything here."
"Hmm?" As soon as Eren stepped out of the Holy Church, he felt a powerful killing intent directed towards him.
He even felt a sense of danger which made him subconsciously draw out his sword.
Clank~
A heavy metallic sound resounded. Eren had blocked the sword that had come straight for his neck, like the work of an assassin.
He was even more surprised by the identity of the attacker. It made him feel quite frustrated.
'How could I forget about him?' he thought, looking at the man who changed the direction of his sword and attacked again.
Eren was playing the role of a Necromancer but it didn't mean that he couldn't use a sword. He kept up with the sword movements of the attacker, even pushing him back.
Eren didn't like the fact that his plan had derailed to such an extent. Initially, he wanted to put up an act of the Holy Emperor attacking him.
He was going to make a grand spectacle about the Necromancer who took down the entire holy church being defeated by the Holy Emperor.
In the end, the Holy Emperor was going to come out as the saviour of the Holy City, his reputation rising across the entire continent.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that there was one more person in the Holy City who was strong while being just as headstrong.
It was the younger brother of the Holy Emperor, who had attacked him without caring about his life.
The younger brother of the Holy Emperor also represented the dignity of the Royal Family. If he defeated the younger brother so easily, was it really going to increase the reputation of the Royal Family?
'It looks like I will have to make another modification to my plan.'
