Recap of The Kingdoms of Ruin episode 3

In episode 3 of The Kingdoms of Ruin, Adonis successfully eliminates Eekhout and engages in a battled against soldiers from the Redia Empire following Doroka's demise.
Meanwhile, Yuki expresses interest in utilizing the magic suppression device. However, Director Theta imparts information regarding the Human Cellular Dysfunction Disease, which adversely affects all human soldiers who participated in the Witch Hunt. Thus, Theta refuses to permit the usage of the suppressor.
Despite Yuki's use of the suppressor to halt Adonis' magic, both she and Theta were impacted by the device. Shortly thereafter, a courageous soldier decapitated Adonis, leading to a jubilant celebration by the Empire.
However, in a subsequent twist, Oz and Charmy from the National Intelligence Bureau discovered that Adonis' corpse was a mere decoy. Without delay, the anime unveiled Adonis awakening and opening his eyes.
What to expect from The Kingdoms of Ruin episode 4?

In episode 4 of The Kingdoms of Ruin, it is highly anticipated that the mystery of Adonis' survival after being beheaded will be unveiled. Towards the conclusion of the episode, Charmy from the National Intelligence Bureau discloses that Adonis' body was indeed counterfeit. However, no information is provided regarding his head, indicating that his survival must be attributed to some form of magical intervention.
Given that the soldier responsible for Adonis' "death" was a female character who intentionally targeted him alone, it is possible that she disguised herself as a witch. It is plausible that one of the witches, potentially known to Doroka, assumed the identity of a Redia Empire soldier to conceal Adonis' demise and enlist his aid in reviving Chloe.
