AN: Right the next chapter is done, and I hope you enjoy it. I would just like to forewarn people that there are some references from a game I used to play. I would just like to acknowledge that I am borrowing some of the stuff from this game and that I have changed things about them so they would better fit into the Highschool DxD and Harry Potter Universes. A bit cryptic I know but I don't want to give away any spoilers. Just know that the way I use them will be unexpected.
The story is going to start taking a few twists and turns from this point so be prepared for some surprises. So anyway without further a do I hope you enjoy the chapter and like the twists I have done to the Highschool DxD universe and the additions of new facets which I hope will work out.
Please enjoy chapter 7.
Chapter 7
(Last Time)
"Haha nope!" Odin replied standing up straight up straight with a grin on his face as he did so. "Now if you'll excuse me, the Valkyries are having a wet t-shirt contest and I've, with great reluctance on my part, have been chosen as judge. I have to go. It would look bad if I was late, wouldn't it?"
Harry watched him go with a deadpan look. 'Glad to see somethings don't change.'
Harry sighed, thinking about what to do. He stayed still, conflicting thoughts coursing through his head before seemingly coming to a decision.
'Screw this I am going to go meet up with Poseidon!' Harry muttered as he sent an amused grin in the direction Odin left as he heard a number of screams and enraged shouts, best to disappear before Odin drags him into his Harry twirled on his foot as if he were about to apparate before vanishing from where he stood with a flash of gold light and a loud crack.

(A few seconds later with Harry)
"Argh!" Harry gasped as he collapsed to his knees on a hard rocky surface, his travel to earth having been suddenly stopped. Letting out a slight retching sound Harry pushed himself into a standing position before looking up at what ha stopped him.
"Hello little brother." A smooth silky voice spoke out from just in front of Harry.
Looking up Harry saw the source of the voice, stood before him was a tall man with long flaming red hair, he was wearing red plate armour and a thick arm less trenchcoat made out of some white coloured leather. But the most distinctive thing about him were his eyes which were completely gold and seemed to swim with colossal amounts of power.
The minute he saw him Harry knew who he was, "Hello Red been a long time!"

(At the same time with Ophis)
On a cold windswept island in the North Sea a cute young looking girl wearing a Gothic Lolita maid outfit, and who had long black hair that went down to her hips and steely gray eyes looked up at the sky in curiosity. She had just felt something which she had not felt for many centuries. She had felt the power of Yahweh her youngest and most tolerable brother. It had only been for a moment but she had felt it, it was almost like something had momentarily disrupted whatever protective magic he was using allowing her to sense him.
'Hmm, this makes things more difficult.' Ophis thought to herself as she continued to look up, she had known he was still alive but had been counting on the fact that he would remain inactive.
"Is there anything wrong milady?" A rich deep voice asked as a large blond man who was wearing a dark suit and glasses approached her. On his back the man carried a large sword which seemed to radiate with holy energy.
"No, nothing at all." Ophis replied in a soft toneless voice before she continued forward heading in the direction of a towering stone building situated on the island they were on. "Come I want to be finished in Azkaban as soon as possible, things are changing, forces long thought dead are stirring, this era is coming to a close."
(Now)
(With Harry)
"So to what do I owe the honour brother?" Harry asked as he finally pushed himself to his feet taking a look at his brother the Great Red in his humanoid form.
"What can I not just see my recently reincarnated brother, do I really need a reason?" Great Red asked as his voice seemed to echo around the rocky area he had dragged them to.
"You never just do things on a whim! So I will ask again what do you want!?" Harry asked again somewhat harsher this time as he pushed himself to his feet and started to glare at his older and stronger brother.
"Ooo, I like the new you, much feistier than before." Red said his tone mocking as he looked down on his younger brother, his gleaming red eyes taking in the short black hair and glowing green eyes of his brother's new form. "Though I have to admit I do find your fascination with these humans somewhat disturbing. And the fact that you would optionally choose to be one, even if for only a short time disgusting!" Red finished with a sneer.
"Don't you think that is a bit hypocritical seeing as you're standing before me in a human form of your own?" Harry replied through gritted teeth as he tried to keep his temper, something which was especially difficult when facing his older siblings all of whom seemed to have a natural ability to piss him off.
"A human form don't make me laugh, these forms were ours long before you created those putrid sacks of flesh you call humanity. You modeled them after our forms after all." Red replied his voice filled with distain.
"Then what is your problem with them?" Harry asked a frown on his face as he saw his older brother's distain.
"It is what they represent, they represent chaos! They are ever changing and ever moving. They commit acts of unspeakable evil and great good at random. They are the very antithesis of order! They are a blight on everything we stand for and on existence itself, something that is constantly trying to drag everything down to their level." Red said his eyes glowing a fiery crimson as he spoke with power rolling off him in waves.
Wiping away a trickle of sweat Harry faced down his brothers irritation, with his own anger and irritation. "And again you show your lack of understanding, for one who governs the domains of fate and time you truly are shortsighted!"
"Be careful brother, even at the height of your power you were no match for me. As you are now I could crush you with ease. Like one of your precious humans might crush an ant…" Red replied the power coming from his body disappearing as he easily regained control of his anger.
"You know Trihexa made a similar claim once, and you know what happened to him don't you?" Harry said with a tight smile, his hands clenching into fists as he prepared himself for anything. As for all of his brother's talk about order he was many times more unpredictable than humans, all of his siblings were, the first four beings himself included were all capricious.
"Yes indeed I do and what a surprise that was, you alone managed to defeat Trihexa. Though the energy and effort you had to put into defeating Trihexa did leave you so weak that you ended up getting killed by those pathetic devil vermin." Red said throwing a backhanded comment Harry's way as he turned away from his brother and instead looked out to the distance before speaking again. "But did you truly think you were entirely successful in defeat Trihexa?"
"He's defeated! I may not have had the power or the inclination to kill him but he is defeated all the same!" Harry replied hotly disliking the way this topic was going, especially with the recent news he had received about how Ophis and her group were trying to free him.
"Defeated yes but not vanquished, not entirely." Red continued cryptically a smirk making its way across his face as he turned to face Harry once more.
"I sealed him away using thousands of the most forbidden seals that have ever been created! He is gone and he won't return, never!" Harry replied his voice becoming louder as he continued to deny that his insane and unstable brother Trihexa may return.
"Yes you did seal him, but not all of him. After all little brother you should know, Trihexa's domain of Chaos was so powerful and so vast that he became unstable and insane from trying to control it. And that instability led to the creation of Trihexa's four aspects, four separate forms that made up a whole." Red said as his feet lifted off the ground and he began to encircle Harry like a shark would its prey, a vicious smile on his face as he looked down on his annoying little brother.
"Yes yes I know all that, individually Trihexa's aspects were not as powerful as when they were combined together into one being. What's your point!?" Harry demanded irritably as he continued turning his head so he could keep his brother in his vision at all times even as he circled him, his body hovering several feet of the ground.
"Yes and you also know his aspects each had their own personality based on which part of his domain they represented. We had Khorne the Chaos God of Anger, Violence and Hate. Then there was Tzeentch the Chaos God of Power and Change. Next of course was Nurgle the Chaos God of Disease, Decay and Destruction. And finally perhaps the worst of a bad a lot there was Slannesh the Chaos God of Lust, Greed, Excess, Pain, Pleasure, Perfection and Hedonism. Each of them are incredibly powerful in their own right, more than a match for your little friends Odin and Poseidon. But together when they became one being, Trihexa the Primordial God of Chaos their power was almost on a par with my own." Red continued with his history lesson, the smirk on his face growing as he saw Harry's rising frustration as Red purposefully stalled and led him on.
"Yes and again I know all this. I have met his aspects and I did defeat them, after all you are not even that much older than me." Harry said once again his temper rising as he heard Red talk down to him, making it seem like he Harry was a child and he Red was his patient teacher.
"Old enough to know better. After all, although it is true that you did defeat Trihexa and did successfully seal him away. You didn't seal all of him. A part of him escaped, one of his aspects slipped away unseen by you, and for all of these centuries it has been waiting, gathering its power and spreading its influence." Red replied his face almost split apart by the shit eating grin he was now sporting. "I did tell you that your humans were chaotic didn't I, and this is the reason. You failed, and in your absence you have allowed the rot of Chaos to grow like a cancer within the world of man."
As he heard that Harry's face began to pale rapidly, even as his mind raced with thoughts on what he had heard. 'This is impossible; I would have felt Trihexa's influence at work. This is just Red lying and trying to cause trouble. But Red is able to see everything that is, was or can be, so maybe he is telling the truth? No, since when has he ever shared information on what he has seen, he does not care enough about anything to do that. So why tell me this now? Maybe to just cause trouble? Or maybe because he is trying to trick me into some action that could bring about one of the futures he has seen.'
"You know I can almost hear the wheels in your mind turning little brother." Red said mockingly as he came to a stop in front of Harry, his feet once again touching the ground as he towered over Harry's smaller form. "But did you think that maybe I am only telling you this now because I know that no matter what you do it won't matter?"
"Shut up!" Harry said his face darkening as he turned to his brother, his features sharpening and taking on a distinctly avian appearance as a ferocious scowl crossed his face.
"And there I was thinking you were all about happy clappy, peace and love between all." Red said a mocking smile still on his face as he looked down on Harry, both literally and figuratively. "Or maybe this is the real you, all about anger and wrath? Maybe all it took to bring out your true self was to tell you of your failure!"
Upon hearing that Harry finally lost his temper and thrust his arm forward at his brother, as he did so he sent a massive beam of pure holy light flying straight towards the Great Red. He soon followed it up by charging his brother hoping to catch him off guard, summoning the Holy Sword Ascalon into his hands as he ran and with a slight pulse of his power unleashing the swords full power, even as he propelled himself forward so fast he passed the sound barrier. As he shot towards his brother his sword thrust forward in a lunge, the blade travelling so fast that to a normal person it would have been invisible.
The attack failed, Red had upon seeing the beam of light coming at him batted the attack away with his left hand, a contemptuous look on his face, like Harry's attack was nothing. The redirected beam exploded away from the two combatants vaporizing a mountain in the distance and destroying everything within ten miles of where it had struck.
Red then with barely a thought summoned a large golden scythe out of nothing but his own energy before he swung it downwards, the blade of the scythe easily shattering his brother's Holy sword into fragments, fragments that quickly corroded and rusted after having come in contact with the Great Red's scythe. He had then followed up with a counterattack of his own as he slammed his left fist into his brother's gut, giving him a light tap that caused him to go flying backwards, his body flying a hundred metres back, smashing through bed rock before bouncing back into the air as Harry tried to recover.
As Harry flew through the air his chest concaved from the force of his brother's strike, he swiftly healed himself instantly before teleporting away with a flash of golden light. Rapidly appearing behind his brother, his body covered in golden fire, as he appeared he summoned two blades made out of his own divine energy in his hands, the twin golden blades that took form of two elegant looking rapiers which he twirled in his hands before he darted forward to attack his brother once again.
As soon as Harry's feet touched the ground he shot towards his brother his speed so fast he caused the ground below him to shatter, and the air around him to boom. As he did this Red quickly turned to face him a mocking smirk on his face as he easily twirled the scythe he was holding in his right hand.
Ignoring his smirk Harry instead engaged him, his arms becoming blurs as he wielded his rapiers with expert precision, the thin blades striking at the weaknesses in Red's armour. Within ten seconds Harry had managed to deal almost four hundred strikes on his brother, whilst his brother had been unable to get a single hit in, his overwhelming strength and power no match for Harry's speed and agility.
That soon changed however as Red's eyes flashed a bright gold and time around the pair seemed to slow to a crawl. Drawing on more of his divine power and using it to negate the effects of his brothers slowing down of time Harry continued on with the attack, ignoring as he did how the veins beneath his skin had started to glow with golden light and how his skin had started to crack and flake off.
Shooting forward once more Harry went to continue his barrage of lightning fast strikes on his brother, however before he could Red slammed his right foot into the ground and sent out a blast of pure power that destroyed the mountain they were fighting on, and blasted Harry away.
Recovering quickly large golden wings erupted from Harry's back allowing him to ascend into the air, thrusting his hand towards his brother again Harry once more drew on his massive reserves of power. In response to this a roaring sound was heard as half a dozen city sized meteors fell from the sky, the roaring masses of rock completely on fire as they headed in the direction of Great Red.
Instead of looking concerned though the Dragon God merely raised hand before sending out six small beams of light, each of which upon hitting the meteors atomized them.
Turning to look at the flying Harry the Great Red sent him an unimpressed look. "Well that was just sad, were you actually trying with that shit?"
With a flap of his wings Harry descended to the ground landing easily on his feet before his brother as he did so, flinching slightly as his body was racked by sudden pain. Looking down at himself he could see the reason for that pain, his arms had gone blackish grey and large cracks had begun to appear on them, cracks that were leaking golden light, his own divine energy, it looked pretty damn horrific.
His brother seemed to think so to as he looked at Harry's injuries. "Well you look like shit, I was barely going 5% and you struggled. It used to be you could easily handle me going at least 75% before you started struggling. You are a lot worse off than I thought you were."
Instead of replying Harry instead concentrated on healing the damage his use of too much power had caused his body. As he did this the cracks on his arms healed and his skin began to heal up, the tone of the skin returning to how it used to be. Looking up he decided to respond to Red. "Well obviously I didn't do too badly you are bleeding after all."
Looking down Red did indeed see that small spots of golden coloured blood had begun to drip from several points on his armour. The wounds inflicted by Harry when he was twin wielding swords made of his own divine energy. "Oh well would you look at that, maybe you aren't entirely pathetic after all."
Upon saying that the Great Red slammed his foot into Harry's chest knocking him to the ground, and before Harry could get up he slammed his foot on his chest pinning him to the ground. "Your weakened little brother and you know you are, doubt you could even take on your true form as you are now. And you will need to if you want to face the trials ahead, you and your allies need to be prepared or everything you have created will be destroyed when Trihexa returns."
As he gave his final ominous warning the Great Red shot up into the sky, his human form peeling away as he did so. Within a few seconds where once there was a man there was instead a colossal red dragon. Looking down at the tiny spot that was his brother the Great Red pondered whether or not to use his full power something that was only available in this his true form to aid or to hinder him. It was not much of a choice as without another glance back he turned in the sky and soared away across his younger sisters domain 'the dimensional gap' content to remain ever the neutral party as he had been ever since he first came into being.

(God's Throne Room, High Heavens)
With a flash of golden light Harry teleported into his throne room his feet land noiselessly on the marble floor slabs. With a tried sigh he approached his throne before collapsing into it, his body felt like its every nerve was on fire. He knew it was foolish trying to fight his older brother as even at the heights of his power he would have struggled to even pull out a tie. It had however been useful though as it had shown him that his body was not as adapted to his power as he had first thought. Something that was very annoying as he had been hoping to be close to regaining his full strength.
Still though that certainly did not mean he was weak he had after all managed to draw blood from the strongest being to have ever existed which was still an achievement. After all the two of them had been throwing around so much power that it would make a Super devil like Sirzechs Lucifer jealous. Unfortunately though the consequences of him using that much power before his body was ready was incredibly painful, even now he could feel a dull throbbing pain his arms despite having already healed them.
Looking off into the distance Harry began to think about what he had recently found out, Ophis was causing trouble and was looking to release Trihexa. That was bad but not the end of the world as Harry was already formulating a plan to stop her, it would require him to go to Atlantis but he was planning on doing that already. In fact he had been on the way their when his brother had rudely gotten in his way.
Thinking of that confrontation also reminded him of the nugget of information the Great Red had decided to share. One of Trihexa's aspects was already free and had been for centuries. Even the thought of it drove horror into Harry's heart. But it also confused him, after all Trihexa's aspects all had very dark power, he was sure he or at least someone would have noticed the corruption of Chaos spreading. It was that thought that led Harry to believe that if what he had told was true, the aspect that was free was probably one of the more insidious ones which would rule Slannesh who thrived on excess and Nurgle who embodied destruction out, as their presence he would have already sensed as they were hardly the subtlest of beings. Khorne to could be ruled out as although there had been many wars in the centuries Harry had been absent; those wars had come to an end. If Khorne was still walking the earth there would be constant never ending war, an example of which would be the Great War between the biblical factions. Harry was sure that the corruptive influence of Khorne had been at work in the Underworld during that war. Which only left Tzeentch as the most likely aspect to have escaped, a being who embodied power and change; he was one who could fly under the radar if necessary.
Which only made Harry more concerned as if Tzeentch had escaped being sealed away somehow than he had had centuries to build a powerbase and spread his subtle corruption. And he was in the perfect place for it too as much to Harry's disappointment; humanity always had been prone to greed and corruption. But Trihexa's aspect could wait Harry could if necessary defeat and kill the Chaos God even in his weakened state, though whether he would survive the attempt as he was now was debatable. Ophis however was a more immediate problem, she was stronger than him and her plan had more immediate consequences.
It was while Harry was thinking these dark thoughts that the ever sunny Gabriel burst into the room a bright smile on her beautiful face as she saw him sitting in his throne. "Daddy, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to visit Uncle Poseidon?" Gabriel asked as she approached her father still smiling, though that smile did fade slightly as she saw the heavy bags under his eyes and the pale colour of his skin.
"No I am afraid I ran into a little trouble on the way." Harry replied tiredly before raising a hand to stop her from interrupting him as he continued. "It is nothing for you to worry about my child I am in no danger; just a little tired is all."
Despite his assurances though the look of worry on her face did not leave, instead she asked "Are you injured father do you need me to get anything for you?"
"No all I need is a bit of rest." Harry responded patiently before his face lit up as a thought occurred to him. "Though there is something you could do to put my troubled mind at ease."
"Anything." Gabriel replied imploringly as she approached her Father and fell onto her knees just before his throne, taking his hand as she did so and holding it into her chest as she did so.
"I need you to send out my angels, as many as can be spared. I want them to go through every inch of the Church and all of its holdings looking for even a wisp of corruption." Harry said as he smiled down at his affectionate daughter.
As she heard his command Gabriel looked up at him with big green eyes confusion evident as she heard his request. "Corruption Father?"
"Yes I want them to search for any taint of Chaos that might have affected my followers. And if they find any they are to quarantine anyone involved and find out the source. Tell them they are allowed to use any means necessary." Harry continued his face tightening at the thought of his flock being infected by the ruinous powers of his brother.
"C-chaos?" Gabriel choked out as flickers of fear filled her eyes. "B-but I-I thought that Trihexa was defeated. I thought that the threat from Chaos was ended!"
"He was defeated, but I worry that a part of his madness still lurks in the dark corners of the world." Harry said reaching down and gently caressing Gabriel's face as he tried to calm her with a half truth. "It may just be an old man and his worries. But for my own peace of mind will you do this for me Gabriel?"
"Of course Father, I will gather the purest and most resilient of your angels and lead them myself. I will route out any corruption on the human world." Gabriel said with fierce determination as she looked up at Harry a fire burning in her eyes.
"Thank you Gabriel, just be very careful. The Ruinous Powers of Chaos are insidious; they can affect even the purest of souls." Harry replied as he shakily got to his feet, Gabriel rising with him, her soft hands helping to support him. Leaning forward Harry laid a kiss on her forehead, calling on his divine magic as he did so and blessing his daughter with the most powerful protections he could. Protections so powerful even Ophis would have trouble breaking.
Collapsing tiredly back onto his seat Harry gave Gabriel's hand one last gentle squeeze as she helped him get comfortable again. Then once she was assured that Harry was in a comfortable position she swept from the room her body vibrating with determination and with her Father's protective magic, turning just before she left she was able to see Harry giving her one last thankful and encouraging smile.

(Heaven's Throne Room a few days later)
As Harry sat in his throne let out a contented sigh, if there was one person who he could rely on above all others it was Gabriel. She would do what he had asked and Harry very much doubted anything would stop her or those she chose from completing it. Which when she did do would put some of Harry's worries at ease, once he was assured that the Church and the other bastions of his power on earth were not compromised he could begin a more comprehensive search for his brother's aspect.
Leaning back in his chair Harry began to absorb the power that ran through his throne, letting it flow through him, easing his aches and healing his body more completely. He had spent the last few days confined to his throne allowing the power to do its work healing his body and speeding up the process of it adapting to his natural power. It was not convenient as he had been stuck on the chair for days which had limited his sphere of influence and his ability to interact with the rest of the world, but it was unfortunately necessary. Luckily he had been able to do a few things, contacting Odin for a discussion over what he had learned being one, suffice to say seeing the old man almost have a heart attack had put Harry in a much better mood about his own condition. The two of them had come up with many plans in regards to the new information and already had begun to plan how to bind their two pantheons closer in an absolute alliance.
Harry had not yet gone to meet with Poseidon yet as he had decided to try and boost his strength a bit more, just in case Zeus had a temper tantrum and Harry had to give him a royal spanking. Already Harry's body was fully fixed, and not only that it had started becoming more divine, even now his skin had taken on a golden colour, and his blood was speckled with spots of gold. Soon the golden blood of immortality would flow through this body and he would be able to take his divine form at whim just like Ophis and Great Red.
Deciding to turn his mind away from his dark thoughts of his fucked up family, Harry instead picked up a large silver sphere from its resting place beside his thrown. Idly he began to play with it as he thought back on his actions of late.
It was indeed true that Harry wanted peace between the Factions, more so after hearing the warnings from both Heimdall and the Great Red. He had understood the reasons behind the Great War and had a plan to nullify them so that another wouldn't occur. He was even willing to allow the Evil Piece System to continue now that he'd assured that Sacred Gear holders and Holy Sword wielders would lose them if they were reincarnated as devils, and that for the ones who were already Devils and possessed Sacred Gears that their power over their gifts would strengthen or weaken depending on their faith in him.
Heck, he'd heard that his Fallen son, Azazel, had even created Artificial Sacred Gears, something that had caused Harry no little pride, after all what father wouldn't be proud of their sons following in their footsteps. Sure, they were inferior to Harry's but they were pretty good for a first attempt. The Fallen could even use their knowledge of Artificial Sacred Gears as a bargaining tool in the (hopefully) upcoming peace treaty, something that was becoming more urgent with the threat of Trihexa growing.
However, Harry's loyalty first and foremost was to Heaven and in making sure it could stand up not only to the other two Factions but to the other Pantheons. He was also a realist and knew that his return might make the other Two Factions less eager for a peace treaty.
Therefore, he'd been making plans to not only arm Heaven to be able to stand up to any of the other Pantheons but to completely subjugate and dominate the other two Factions if necessary. Which if an agreement was not reached soon may indeed be necessary.
In his hands was the result of one of those plans: a light-element version of a nuclear bomb.
The war games that he and Odin had agreed to set up between Heaven and Asgard to help both sides polish their skills for the upcoming conflict had shown him how far Heaven had to go. Angels were so used to their light element giving them the advantage that without it, they were just skilled enough to stand up to the grunts of Asgard's army. It was worse for the newly created Angels, who had no battle experience whatsoever.
Thankfully, Odin, now back to his full strength thanks to Harry, had agreed to help whip them into shape, it was only a pity Odin couldn't take more of Harry's excess power, but just like how Harry's body couldn't take more power than it was ready for, neither could Odin's. Luckily though due to Harry's nature as a Primordial God, he was born with colossal amounts of power, which meant that when his human body finally adapted he would be able to go all out without reservations. Harry smiled as he remembered the complaints of some Angels forced to go through the Asgard training program. Harry felt embarrassed how most of his Angels couldn't even run ten laps without collapsing, much too used to flying wherever they went.
And while his Brave Saints System was a good idea, there was an appalling lack of suitable candidates at the moment. Most exorcists, he was ashamed to say, were little more than grunts relying on the light element's advantage to come out successful in their hunts. Even then, there was an almost thirty per cent fatality rate amongst them during their first few years as exorcists which thankfully lowered as time passed. Precious few actually reached the level previous generations of exorcists were and this was mostly because the Underworld had basically been poaching their best and brightest. The next generation of exorcists had potential, especially now Harry was back, but it would be years before they would reach it.
All this told Harry he needed a more immediate solution to balance out the scales between them and the other Factions; after all he wanted to come from a position of power in any discussions that might be held. That was when he remembered reading about MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) while still human and thought up his current weapon.
The light-element nuclear bomb was similar to the human one except much more potent. A single one could wipe out the main island of Japan off the map completely. However, while it's power was potent, it was its effects that made it a game-changer against devils and creatures of darkness.
Much like the human nukes bombarded the area with radiation for years to come, the light-element nuke did the same but with, obviously, the light-element. Not only that but the atmosphere around the area the bomb was dropped would imbue the light-element, making the very air toxic to devils and outright killing anything weaker than a upper tier High-class devil and greatly weakening those stronger. It would also have a similar affect on demons born of his brother Trihexa's fell power.
Harry's plan was that if push came to shove, he would open portals to the Underworld and drop thousands of these all over it. Not only would thousands if not millions of devils die from the blasts but the Underworld would become completely uninhabitable for devils for hundreds of years before the light-element dissipated from the atmosphere.
If necessary, he would also introduce the light-element into the atmosphere on Earth, making the Human World uninhabitable for devils and weaker servants of Chaos as well. This would give the devils nowhere to go as well as greatly weaken their strongest devils as even a Satan-class devil would be no stronger than a Mid-class devil in those conditions. It would also limit the corruptive influences of Chaos if their even were any. Either way it would make them easy pickings to wipe them out. But if he did that he would pretty much be declaring war on the world.
Before his reincarnation as Harry Potter, he probably would have been ecstatic at this plan. A way to destroy the devils with minimal expenditure of energy or loss of life and furthermore, would make it so whatever devils did survive would die out slowly from the light-element poisoning. But now having been effected by his humanity he found himself torn, it was strange really when he had been God before his death he had been absolute never wavering never compromising. But after having spent time as a human, a race none for allowing their emotions to rule them both good and bad, he had gained a sense of clarity, a sense of compassion. Which as an ancient all powerful Primordial God looking down on his creations he had lacked.
It wasn't just the changes in his personality brought about by his time as a human, it was also about the young devils he had briefly at Kuoh Academy. The more time he spent with them, the more he saw them as nothing more than slightly strange human teens. It was hard to see them as devils when he saw them laughing with each other or just hanging out like normal teens. Even their "contracts" were more along the lines of doing household chores than anything. No corrupting the innocent, sacrifices or even premarital sex (not that he had a problem with that). The Devils were not as corrupt as he had first thought; clearly the legacy of his son Lucifer was not as tainted by the corruption of Chaos as he himself had been. Harry had theorized that that was due to Trihexa being sealed away and his insidious influence being cut off from the Devil race. However upon hearing of how one of his brothers aspects was still free it led him to believe that maybe the Devil's had overcome the influence of the Ruinous Powers. But at the same time there was a concern that hidden in the darkest corners of the underworld his brother's influence still held power.
So it was with that in mind that Harry was so conflicted over how to deal with the Devils, he wanted peace and he didn't want to wipe them out. But he could not allow them to be overcome by power and dark desires. It was with that in mind that although he really didn't want to destroy them. As much as it pained him, if worse came to worse, he would have to use it. The other Pantheons had tolerated the existence of devils for long enough as it was, and if Ophis succeeded or if his worst fears became realized he would have no choice.
Harry grimaced at that thought. The Pantheons would instantly set aside their differences to wipe out the Devils if they caught word of the threat the Devils could present before Harry could come to a conclusion. Hopefully, the devils would agree to his plan or else nothing he could do would protect them from the Pantheons banding together and wiping them out, as even with his full power the weight of numbers could eventually take him down, and if he fell Heaven would soon follow, and he very much doubted they would go out without a fight. No if that were to happen the supernatural world would never recover and existence would no doubt come to an end.
Harry sighed as the bomb in his hands dissipated into golden particles to be stored in his Treasury. Deciding that he need something to entertain him and to keep his thoughts from becoming to melancholy harry instead summoned a large mirror like disk. Calling on his power he imbued the reflective surface with his will causing multiple different images to flash by, all of which Harry's eyes followed as he tried to find something entertaining on the supernatural media network. 'Gardening with Demeter' Nope. 'Pimp my Chariot' which was presented by Hephaestus, No. 'The Hunger Games' a program run by Hel which was basically her making fun of damned souls, amusing but not today. 'Hmm a Devil's Rating Game how topical' Harry thought as he switched back a few channels going past a particularly disturbing program which involved a Shinto God, a number of large squids and a high security American prison.
Settling back on the Underworld TV channel, Harry settled back with an interested look on his face as he saw a person he knew on the screen. Rias Gremory and her peerage were shown on the screen, the group currently being gathered around a table, discussing strategy for the upcoming Rating Game. It appeared their training time in the mountains was over and her time to fight a Rating Game against her possible husband to be Riser Phenex had come. With all the recent goings on he had kind of forgotten all about it, he had thinking about not actually been to school in a week instead he had been in Asgard for a bit, then in the Dimensional Gap for around an hour and then finally in this throne for the rest of the time. Thinking about it he couldn't help but wince as he thought of the dressing down he was probably going to receive from Sona, a girl who he found himself becoming quite fond of.
As Harry sat upon the throne of Heaven he casually observed Rias' Rating Game against Riser Phenex. It was actually quite tense as at some point she came quite close to winning her freedom from that grilled chicken or at least at the beginning she did soon it just came down to a battle of attrition. As her peerage members were picked off one by one as their injuries got the best of them leading to them being overwhelmed by Riser's peerage. Soon enough it was only Issei and an exhausted Rias left against Riser his Queen and his Bishop. Suffice to say they lost, but it was quite an interesting watch, and the bravery they showed against such overwhelming odds did raise Harry's interest in Rias Gremory and her peerage.
Harry was soon brought out of his thoughts though when the silver haired Rossweisse entered his throne room a calm expression on her face as she crossed the marble floor and approached where he was currently sat.
Harry had taken her as his own personal secretary after seeing how much Odin picked on her despite her incredible skill at being a secretary. He had asked Odin to trade her into his employ and he'd accepted, glad to be rid of the 'cockblocker' as he called her. Though probably Odin was just actually concerned about him, he had not looked as healthy as he was now when Odin had come to Heaven at his request. In fact it had been only a few hours after his fight with Great Red so he probably looked bloody awful. Which was no doubt why Odin had let him have Rossweisse so that she could look after him and not be duty bound to obey his orders like his angels were when he told them he didn't need looking after.
As for Rossweisse herself, while she'd been a little put out at being traded at first, she'd grown to be happy about it. Harry never put her down and praised her hard work. Her skills greatly helped him establish some kind of order to his ideas. The most obvious proof of her skills and usefulness had been her helping him organize and run things from his throne, she was able to act on his behalf and where appropriate take the initiative. He had been acting as a go between, between Harry and his numerous projects. She had been involved mostly in working with Harry's Research and Development team, supply information to Gabriel's team on earth and organizing war games between Heaven and Asgard. It was more work than she had ever had before and she loved it, in her mind working for Harry sure beat working for Odin, as most of what she did for him was send apology notes for his behaviour.
Harry was a grateful beyond words for Rossweisse's presence and never failed to tell her so. The girl, used to being degraded by her previous employer, preened and blushed under the praise, her loyalty to him having already supplanted her loyalty to Odin.
"Ahh Rossweisse any news from Gabriel?" Harry asked as he saw her approach.
"Yes my Lord, she has sent a report back that none of her team have found anything yet, they have gone through most of Europe and have gone through the records at the Vatican. She did however come across an obscure reference to the Holy Sword Project, though much of the records have been destroyed. But from what she has found out a high ranked Cardinal was excommunicated along with a number of Exorcists and Researchers." Rossweisse summarized for Harry before at seeing his frown she continued. "She believes that it will need some investigating but so far it was the first sign of anything that could be potentially Chaotic, she then went on to say she will continue her search and give another update later."
"Hmm, the Holy Sword Project. I feel like I have heard it referenced before by some of the Devil's at Kuoh but I did not here any real information about it." Harry said with a frown on his face as he thought on what this could be, turning his gaze back to Rossweisse he asked. "Was their anything else Gabriel said?"
"Ermm yes my Lord she said… well she said that I should tell her Daddy that his little princess misses him lots and lots and lots." Rossweisse said an amused look passing across her face, as Harry went to say something his face looking pained she continued. "And lots and lots and lots."
Giving her a bland look Harry asked. "Are you finished?"
"Yes my Lord." Rossweisse said a smirk still on her face.
"Is there anything else?" Harry asked.
"Yes my Lord," Rossweisse said politely as she once again gained a serious expression on her face. "I have just received word that we've located the possessor of Excalibur Ruler."
Harry's eyes narrowed as he heard that before he turned serious. "I see. Then I'll go deal with that soon. Thank you, Rossweisse. Do you wish to accompany me in retrieving it? I warn you that the possessor might not be very eager to return my sword to me. It might turn violent."
Rossweisse straightened and set her shoulders. "Of course, my Lord. As your secretary and bodyguard, it is my duty to follow you anywhere and protect you from any danger."
Harry smiled in thanks before nodding. "Alright then. So where did you say Arthur Pendragon was located?"
"The last known location was on the Island of Azkaban in the North Sea. It is some kind of wizarding prison. This from what our reports indicate has recently been invaded by unknown persons, with claims being made that they are part of some radical group called Death Eaters." Rosswiesse continued her eyes widening in alarm as without warning Harry leapt from his throne. His feet creating cracks on the floor as he alighted and his whole form being wreathed in golden energy.
Looking up at the shocked looking Rossweisse Harry gave her a feral smile which caused her cheeks to pink, before stretching his body out, hearing numerous cracks as he stood up for the first time in days. As he finished his stretches the gold light covering him vanished leaving him stood casually before his assistant wearing a smart three piece black suit. As she looked at him she could see that his skin had a slight golden glow to it and that his eyes seemed to glow with almost unfathomable power.
Turning to look at Rossweisse Harry again gave her a smile as he felt the power rush through him, he still wasn't up to full strength but compared to how he was when he first reunited with Odin he was practically on a whole other level.
"So then Rossweisse shall we go?" Harry asked with a smile that hid his concern over what may be going on in magical Britain.

(On the Island of Azkaban)
The large prison of Azkaban was silent perhaps for the first time since it was built there was no sound, there was no wailing and moaning from prisoners there was just nothing. The reason for that would be obvious if you were to take a step inside the dark forbidding building, because if you did you would see the pale slumped over bodies of prisoners and guards alike. The cold bodies all shared one thing in common, and that was despite their lack of movement and their death like appearance they were all still alive. Or at least alive as one can be without a soul.
In a the main chamber of Azkaban a room that was usually used by the human guards to eat in, which was why it was warmer and could almost be considered cosy compared to the harshness of the rest of the prison. Within that chamber there were a number of beings some of them were human or close to human, an example being of a tall voluptuous dark haired woman who was wearing rather revealing clothes and who had a pair of black cat ears on her head. There were almost fifty of these people most of who were looking around the place they found themselves in with uncomfortable expressions on their faces.
There were however other things lurking in the room, things that were not at all human. These things floated eerily off the floor their forms wrapped up in smoke like black cloaks, strange skeletal hands seemed to poke out of their cloaks grasping in the direction of the humans in the room. The most obvious thing about these creatures however was the aura they were emitting, an aura of cold cruel despair, an aura that to the surrounding humans seemed to suck the hope and happiness from all it touched.
Stood prominently before this eclectic group there was a young girl dressed in a lolita maid outfit. As she looked over the inhabitants of the room the girl's emotionless grey eyes seemed to glow slightly and her lips began to twitch up into something that could almost be mistaken as a smile. "Prepare yourselves for we have been noticed."

AN: And so it looks like things are now starting to hot up. I was tempted to continue this chapter but I decided to cut it off at this point as my mind is not fully made up on which way to take the story. I have two routes planned out from this point and am undecided which one I will be following.
But anyway that's the chapter and I hope people enjoyed it. For those who noticed yes I did take the idea for the chaos gods from warhammer but they will be adapted to fit this story and so much of the lore surrounding them will be altered or removed when explained in this story. Also they will be pretty much the only thing in this story that is not from Harry Potter or Highschool DxD.
But I do hope people like my ideas for trihexa as he is kind of a big bad that is never fully explored. He is kind of like an end level boss you here all the hype about him but it takes forever to get there.
Also I have not forgotten Highschool DxD canon and the Harry Potter world they will still be involved in the story I am just not limiting the story. After all Harry is like badass when it comes to strength so it is only fun if he has some equally badass enemies.
Hope you all enjoyed it and leave a review as it does help.
Ps. Check out my new Percy Jackson/ Harry Potter story.
Next story I update will probably be either Ten Tailed Wolf or The Power He Knows Not.
Seagate.
