As Jakob makes their daring escape, Add is... still playing dead. But helpfully, you know, because what kind of disgraceful shinki would dare to stop another from saving their own god? That would be the same as declaring war on Henir's domain! Would it not be rude as hell to declare war on another god in the holy Amaterasu's name without first asking for her to command it? Surely no such shinki would be worthy of being Amaterasu's vassal!
But really, it's sheer dumb luck that they don't bump into Ammy herself or one of the other high-ranking gods, because they would probably have a hell of a time getting out of there if they did. The white-robed shinki are either too busy scrambling to deal with the mess or too intimidated by Jakob's forceful aura to intervene. Somehow, they're able to make their escape.
As for how long that escape will really last before they have an army of shinki at their temple doors, well. They can worry about that later.
Once they're a fair distance away from the temple and the crowds (hey, it's not every day you get to watch a spoon meteor shower or a giant robot fall from the sky), Add drops the whole fatal-wounding act and breathes out a sigh.
"That was easier than expected." you know aside from like, literally everything else that has happened today... "Good work. We'll retrieve the robot later once everyone has their guard down again. If they won't let me take it willingly, I have a plan that involves a large-scale teleporter, fake ritual circles and explosives..."
...this plan is definitely terrible, but Jakob is spared the full explanation for now. Before Add can work on his masterful scheme, there is one other thing they'll need to deal with.
"By the way, you're going to have to carry me around for awhile. Limb restoration could take several days depending on the conditions, but it'll be faster if I can conserve my energy."
re-emerges from the stale, blackened depths like a swamp creature rising from a muddied lakebed
