Although the Church of Combat and the Einhorn Family had chosen Adam's side in this struggle for "0-08," they had clearly not committed much strength.
Take Wimbledon Einhorn, the "Duke of Graycastle" before Abner, who had summoned the power of the "Blood Archduke" Ialdabaoth, and Archbishop Ivan, who had summoned the phantom of Boris, the Inquisition's Chief Justice and a "Glorious One," for example...
They, along with the beings behind them, were all members of the "Twilight Hermit Order"—traitors. Even if they were lost in the conflict, it would not be much of a loss to the Church of Combat or the Einhorn Family.
As for the true direct-line Demigods and Angels of the Church of Combat and the Einhorn Family, not a single one had come...
After all, the God of Combat had personally acted to hold back the Lord of Storms. That favor was already considerable enough.
But in truth, even Wimbledon and Ivan, along with Ialdabaoth and Boris behind them, had not used their full strength. Though they were members of the "Twilight Hermit Order" and nominally Adam's subordinates, the same held true for them.
Bernadette the "Sage" and Medea the "Black Saintess" on Abner's side appeared to be fighting fiercely against their opponents, but with considerable "tacit understanding," they had only used "Historical Projections" against "power phantoms"...
Abner himself, like Wimbledon and Ivan, had merely been standing off against them.

"The item in that Gentleman Thief 'Black Emperor's' hand is Creeping Hunger, isn't it? Heh, it seems his true identity is Gehrman Sparrow!" Archbishop Ivan spoke. As a former adjudicator knight of the Inquisition, he was naturally familiar with all sorts of intelligence and had recognized Klein's disguise
