Issei pov

Entering the conference room I could feel the tension causing me to sweat. Inside was a large table and near the wall was a group of chairs. I felt Asia grab unto me so I lightly took her hand in mine. Sitting around the table was people I recognize.

The devil's side, Sirzechs-sama, Leviathan-sama and to the side was the maid Grayfia standing by a tea cart.

On the angels side was the seraph Michael-san with a beautiful blonde angel, that looked similar to him, sitting next to him. Leaning against the wall behind them was the Consuming dragon, Kurou.

And finally on the fallen angels side was Azazel with his wings out, along with the Vanishing dragon, Vali.

"This is my younger sister and her were active during the attack of Kokobiel." Sirzechs-sama introduces us.

"I've heard the report. I give my thanks." Michael-san said his thanks to us.

"Sorry, that Kokobiel ended up causing you trouble." Azazel commented without care.

With Grayfia-san's urging we sat on the chairs near the wall. Already sitting there was Sona-Kaichou. Buchou sat next her following with me, Akeno-san, Kiba, Asia, Xenovia and Koneko-chan.

"Now that everyone has arrived, I'll say the preconditions of the meeting. Everyone here acknowledges the non-existence of God." Sirzechs-sama said.

I took a brief glance at Kaichou but she didn't seem to be surprised, also Grayfia-san didn't look shocked either. So they must have knew before hand.

"With that let's continue."

With that the leaders of the three factions start the meeting. It looked to be progressing smoothly, but there were moments when Azazel would throw in a sentence. As the conference continued Sirzechs-sama looked at Buchou.

"Rias, would you speak about the incident a few days ago."

"Yes, Lucifer-sama."

Buchou stood up and began giving her account of the battle with Kokabiel along with Akeno-san and Sona-Kaichou.

"That is all me and the other devils experienced." said Buchou.

After Buchou sat down the conversation continued.

Kurou pov

I looked at the door as Rias Gremory and her peerage came in. After being introduced by Sirzerchs Lucifer they sat down in the chairs near the wall. I closed my eyes as the conference began, since I already knew most of what was being said, but paid attention just incase I miss something. The leaders of the three factions spoke about different topics as well as Rias Gremory giving her report.

"-Than let's make peace. Originally that was the intention as well angels and devils."

My eyes snapped open once I heard it. Making peace, was that what this meeting was about. I looked around and noticed that Gremory along with her peerage and Sona Sitri were also surprised. I turned to Michael-sama wanting to hear his response.

"Yes, I also planned on proposing peace to the devil side and Grigori. I say this since the original causes of the war, God and Maou-sama, has perished." Michael-sama said with a smile.

Gabriel-sama also seemed to be in agreement.

"We also agree. In order to continue our species we don't want another war." Sirzechs agreed.

"Yes if there is another war then the three factions will surely be destroyed." Azazel said seriously.

"Do you think a world without God is wrong? That a world without God will decay. I'm sorry but that isn't right as both me and you are living healthy like this."

"A world moves even without God." Azazel said.

I smiled once I heard his words. He has a point after all. Even with God's death the world continues to move forward.

With that the conversation moved on to hereafter's war potential before ending. I sighed as the maid Grayfia-san began handing out tea. Michael-sama asked about the Sekiryuutei's questions causing him to stand up and speak. Once he was done and Michael-sama answered him we moved on.

"Now it's time to hear the opinion of those who seem like they can influence the world. The invincible Dragon-sama. Firstly Vali, what do you want to do in this world." Azazel said

"If I can fight strong guys then it's fine." Vali replied with a smile.

Then Azazel turned to me. "Kokuryutei, what about you?"

I took a moment to think before replying." As long as I can still serve and protect heaven and the church, as well as fight strong opponents then I don't care."

Michael-sama and Gabriel-sama smiled at me making me blush a little. Finally he turned to the Sekiryuutei.

"Finally Sekiryuutei what about you?"

He looked confused at the question and didn't know how to respond. Seeing this Azazel spoke up again.

"Let me explain then Hyoudou Issei. If we go to war you'll have to fight in the front lines. Meaning you can't have sex with Rias Gremory."

Hearing this the Sekiryuutei gave a perverse answer before taking some of it back and saying something different once he remembered that Sirzechs Lucifer was here. I sighed hearing his answer.

"Is this guy seriously supposed to be my rival." I thought.

I tensed up when I felt a weird sensation before everything went dark for second.


Kurou's eyes snapped open after a moment. He looked around, noticing the different positions of the people in the room. Michael was looking outside the window, and Sirzechs and Azazel was in a discussion a little bit away from him. Gabriel and Serafall also was also talking with each other in a worried manner.

" Looks like your awake now Kurou Ryouta."

Kurou turned his head to see Vali standing next to him. Vali turned towards him with a small smirk on his face. Kurou slightly frowned upon seeing him.

" Vali... do you know what's going on?"

" Not a clue."

He clicked his tongue in annoyance before closing his eyes. He appeared to be in deep thought until Azazel suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, the Sekiryuutei has woken up."

With that everyone turned towards Issei Hyoudou. "Hm, looks like he's not the only one." Not only was the Sekiryuutei up, but so was Rias Gremory and her knights.

"Onii-sama what's going on?" She asked

"It seems-"

"To be a terrorist attack." Azazel interrupted, "Would you like to take a look outside?"

Moving towards the window I could see a series of flashes appearing in the sky. "A terrorist attack huh, I suppose it's not totally unexpected. What do you think Acnologia?"

[ Hmph, it's a meeting between three factions wanting peace, so of course there will be those who oppose it.]

"you have a point. And judging by the looks of those magic circles the enemy appears to be-"

"They're magicians, people using the magic system derived from the devils by the legendary magician Merlin Ambrosius."

I turned to Azazel talking to the Sekiryuutei about the magicians and their magic system.

"T-Then what about the time stop before?"

"Most likely they used a sacred gear, or a magic that transfers power and used it on that half-vampire's sacred gear and forced into a balance breaker state. Even though it's only temporary, it affected those not in it's field of vision... so his potential is this high. Well even then it doesn't seem to be enough to affect us top position guys."

"But they transferred power, there are other sacred gears with that kind of ability?"

"Boosted Gear combines together both the nearly endless doubling ability and the transfer ability. There exist independent Sacred Gears with either of these respective powers. The doubling Sacred Gear and transfer Sacred Gear. All the Longinus are just a combination of one ability with another. Essentially, they combine powerful abilities that aren't supposed to be combined. "Maybe the [Longinus] are born because of a kind of bug, errors in the [Sacred Gear program] constructed by God", that's one of the opinions of us Grigori. If I had to say it in an easy-to-understand way to you, it's a fact that there are other powers that can transfer."

Ugh, what a sacred gear fanatic. He knows a lot even without being the creator.

"Gasper has been made into a terrorist weapon at the old school building…Just where did they get information on my servant...Moreover, for them to use his power to go after this important meeting! Never have I been so insulted like this!"

Ara, what a good aura surrounding Rias Gremory. But it's unnecessary to fly into a rage in this situation.

"By the way, the armies of the fallen angels, angels and devils outside of this school building all seem to be stopped as well. Geez, Rias Gremory's family is just dreadful."

Azazel put his hand on her shoulder, but she just brushed it off. He sighed before turning to the window and raising his hand. Outside multiple spears of light appeared in above the magicians. He lowered his hand and the spears rained down on them. The magicians tried to put up barriers but it did nothing to hinder the spears, as they just tore right through them. As I watched the magicians die I couldn't help but smirk at the display of power.

"Heh, as expected of the leader of the fallen angels, his power is unbelievable."

"This school is enveloped in a barrier. But, despite this, they appeared within the barrier. There must be a transfer-use magic circle or a person connecting with a gate to the inside of the premises. Either way, if they increase the effect of [Forbidden Balor View] any more than this, there's a concern that they'll be able to stop even people like us too. By stopping us here with their fierce attack, they intend to annihilate each school building the instant our time is stopped. They seem to be using considerable military power."

Looking outside, magic circles appeared at various places in the school grounds, and started shining. From the magic circles appeared more magicians to replace the ones Azazel defeated. Tch, where the hell are they coming from.

"It's a repeat from just now. They'll keep appearing even as we knock them down. However, even if the timing and terrorist technique is good, it may be that they have a knowledgeable person who has inside information. Is there unexpectedly a traitor here?"

"A traitor huh, I'm pretty sure no one here would betray us. Although if there was one it would most likely be him." I turned to look at Vali.

"Can't we escape from here?"

Azazel shook his head at Issei's question

"We can't escape. As long as the barrier enclosing the entire school isn't dissolved, we can't go outside. But, if the barrier is dissolved, damage may be taken in the human world. We have to wait for the enemy boss to appear. If we shut ourselves in here for a while, they'll get tired of waiting and show their face. I'd like to know who the mastermind is quickly. Besides, if we go out and rampage imprudently, we may just do exactly as the enemy wishes."

"That said, we leaders can't move while making preparations. However, our first goal is to take back Gasper from the old school building which has become the terrorists' base." Sirzechs said

He has a point. Rescuing Rias Gremory's servant should come first. It would be dangerous if they find a way to stop time for the leaders.

"Onii-sama, I'll go. Gasper is my servant. It's my responsibility to take him back."

She had a determined look in her eyes. Sirzechs suddenly laughed.

"I thought I said it before. I understand my younger sister's personality. However, how will you go to the old school building? It's filled with magicians outside this new school building. The usual transfer is also blocked by magic."

"The old school building, my base's clubroom has a remaining unused rook piece being kept safe within it."

"I see, [Castling], huh. Since they would usually expect us to go take him back, this could catch the opponent off-guard. They'll anticipate some kind of trick."

Castling, the ability of the king being able to switch places with the rook, their able to do that with the evil pieces huh. So she's able to teleport directly into the old school building. It would be useful to catch the enemy off guard.

"Alright. However, it's reckless to go alone. Grayfia, is it possible to transfer more than one person through [Castling] with my magic system?"

"Yes, it seems we can only deploy a simple technique ceremony here, but it's possible to transfer ojou-sama and one other."

"So Rias and someone else…"

"Sirzechs-sama, I'll also go!"

Issei hyoudou raised his hand.

Sirzechs' eyes turned towards him for a moment, but then quickly moved in Azazel's direction.

"Azazel, according to a rumor, you've been researching how to freely handle Sacred Gears for a fixed time, right?"

"Yeah, that's true, but what about it?"

"Is it possible to control the Sekiryuutei?"

"…"

Azazel fell silent in response to Sirzechs' question. However, the Governor of the Fallen Angels reached into his breast pocket.

"Oi, Sekiryuutei."

Azazel called out.

"I-I'm Hyoudou Issei!"

"Then, Hyoudou Issei. Take this."

Azazel threw something at him. He caught it and looked, they seemed to be wide rings to put around the hand. Multiple layers of strange characters were carved into them. Hmm, what exactly are those.

"Those are bracelets with the power to control a Sacred Gear to some degree. If you find the aforementioned half-vampire, put one on him. It'll help him control his power somewhat."

"But, there are two of them…?"

Yes, there were two bracelets. One for the rook. And the other—.

"The other one is for you. You haven't mastered the power of the [Welsh Dragon], right? If so, put it on. If it's for a short time, it'll be possible to go into the Balance Breaker state without paying any price. This will be used in place of the price."

My eyes widened at what he said. This guy... to have been able to create something that allows access to balance breaker, even for a short amount of time, is incredible.

"As a side effect, you'll also temporarily undo the seal that's been applied on you. Your pawn power has been blocked, right?"

so the Sekiryuutei is stronger than he appears. Or maybe it's because he can't handle the power of the pawn pieces.

"This is only my personal opinion, but in terms of piece distribution, Ddraig is seven and you're one, right? No, it may be 7.9 and 0.1. [Promotion] also builds the necessary foundation for the sake of manifesting Ddraig's true power. Either way, it's a fact that releasing Ddraig's power will release the seal as well, right, Rias Gremory?"

She just narrowed her eyes in response to Azazel's question and gave no particular answer.

"Use that ring as a last resort. Since it can't regulate its consumption of stamina, you'll just exhaust yourself wastefully if you activate it suddenly. It will consume an intense amount of stamina and magical power while in armor-equipped mode."

"Remember this well. The current you is a devil that was originally born as a human. Even if one possesses a powerful Sacred Gear, there's no meaning if the host is useless. If the opponent against the current you is inexperienced, you can just sprinkle Ddraig's power to win, but it's a tractable thing regarding those with greater power and those who understand your ability. At any rate, you yourself are your Sacred Gear's weak point. —The cluster of your weakness is assuredly your inability to master it. You'll eventually die if you can't tame your power."

"I-I understand."

"Azazel, just how far did you research Sacred Gears?"

Michael-sama asked Azazel while sighing, but the fallen angel Governor just smiled fearlessly.

"It's fine, isn't it? God, the one who made the Sacred Gears, isn't here, right? Isn't it better if there's someone who can explain about Sacred Gears at least a little? I heard there are all kinds of things that even you don't know, right?"

"I think the problem is that you're the one who's researching it…"

"Ojou-sama, please wait a little while." Grayfia-san said while creating a magic circle.

"Please hurry, Grayfia."

While they were inside getting ready, Azazel and the Hakuryuukou were deep in talk.

"Vali."

"What is it, Azazel?"

"You go catch the enemy's attention outside. If the Hakuryuukou comes out at the front, it'll disrupt their strategy a little. Also, something may move."

"So that person will also become aware of me being here?"

"If you do that, they won't expect for the Sekiryuutei to transfer over to the center using [Castling]. It'll also have the effect of attracting their attention a little."

"Wouldn't it be faster to blow away all the terrorists in the old school building and the half-vampire who has become a problem?"

The Gremory peerage looked angrily at Vali. While that is a logical action, it would be bad to kill an important person of our allies.

"Quit that, at a time where we've united in peace. In the worst case scenario, we'll do that, but if we can save a member of the Maou's family, saving him will be of benefit for us in the future."

"Understood."

Vali agreed to Azazel's suggestion while letting out a breath. He let loose his sacred gear.

"Balance Break."

[Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!]

After that sound, a snow-white aura covered Vali's form! When the light stopped, his body was wrapped in a whole-body armor that emitted a white radiance.

"It looks like only me and Vali are able to enter balance breaker at will." I muttered

After glancing at me and Issei, Vali opened the meeting room's window and rushed out into the sky.

Dodododododododon!

A shock wave was created outside. Outside, the group of magicians were trampled down by him. He plunged into the enemy group while drawing a path of light in the night sky. Strong, fighting him will definitely be interesting. He danced in the air without worrying about the concentrated bullets of the magicians at all, and a large mass of surge bullets hit the school grounds. Without accomplishing anything, the magicians were annihilated, but magic circles appeared right afterwards and a new group of magicians appeared. They really are endless. I turned towards Michael-sama and Gabriel-sama.

"I will also join in. Would that be alright?"

Michael-sama gave me a smile and a nod, while Gabriel-sama seemed worried.

"Please careful Kurou-kun"

I nodded with a smile and leaped out the window. "Are you ready Acnologia?" I asked as I fell towards the ground.

[Yeah, partner lets show them the power of the Black Dragon!]

I landed in a crouch on the ground. Raising my head towards the magicians in the air, I released a laugh.

"Hahaha, alright then, Lets go!" I yelled out jumping at the enemies in front of me.


Happy new year, it's finally 2016. This is my first chapter of the new year. It would have been out yesterday but I couldn't decide if I wanted to do the battle in this chapter or the next. So next chapter will be the fight and maybe the revealing of Kurou's balance breaker. Besides all that I have decided to remove some of Kurou's harem because I don't think I can make it work. If I can find a way to add a relationship between them than I'll add girls to the harem or if you can give me a good reason to. Anyway thanks for reading and please review.

Kurou's harem: Gabriel, Serafall, Yasaka, Kuroka(maybe)
