34. The Devil born from Gods!

Chapter 34: The Devil born from Gods!

The very next day, the entire group had gathered in the spacious training room within the Gremory/Sitri mansion in Kuoh town. The Sins, the Gremory group plus Irina, Susano'o, Azazel and Baraqiel, Sona and her group and lastly Team Vali. The presence of Vali and his group brought a lot of tension due to the history they all shared.

Rias and Sona openly objected to having Vali and his group in their home, but Itachi was more open minded to the idea. Itachi didn't trust Vali, not by a long shot, but Itachi did acknowledge that Vali and his group would be very helpful in the upcoming confrontation with Loki and Fenrir.

Odin and Rossweisse were in a separate room, contacting their homeland. Trying to figure out if Loki had anyone else on his side to aid him in this battle, and if they could make a countermeasure against Loki.

The Storm Shinto God had made himself at home, having brewed some fresh green tea. Susano'o hummed as he handed out cups of tea to those who wanted. Itachi while he was focused on glaring at Vali, got distracted as he smelled the tea. Itachi looked to Susano'o who was holding out a cup for Itachi, whilst smiling brightly. "Oh, thank you…" Itachi gave a bow of gratitude to the Storm God, and accepted the tea. Susano'o wasn't like Itachi had expected, judging by the stories of the Shinto God he was said to be a troublemaker, and quick to anger. But before him now, sat the Storm God on the floor, as calm as can be with this gentle aura surrounding him.

Itachi took a sip of the tea, his eyes widening a bit as it was by far the most delicious green tea he had ever tasted. "You like it?" Susano'o asked him smiling, having without a doubt noticed his reaction.

"Oh, yes, it is quite delicious actually." Itachi felt a bit off around Susano'o, it was a bit strange putting a face to an ability that his clan possessed.

"Mm." Susano'o took a sip of the tea from his own cup, looking at peace as he sighed. "Still can't get it as good as my wife would make it…" Susano'o let out a light chuckle, as he looked into the cup reminiscing about the old days.

"Done with your little tea break?" Vali condescendingly asked with his arms crossed as he leaned up against a wall. "We have more important matters to attend to."

"But tea is important." Susano'o gave a small pout. The Storm God smiled and offered Vali a cup as well. "Does wonders to calm your mind and spirit."

"We're about to fight a God, save the tea for later." Vali glared at the Storm God.

"My, I am a God myself you know?" Susano'o let out a dry chuckle.

"As much as I dislike his attitude, Vali is right, we should discuss a battle plan Lord Susano'o." Rias spoke respectfully to the Shinto God.

"Oh? And why is that?" Susano'o still looking relaxed, continued to drink his tea without any care.

"Well… we would like to win." Sona added.

"Yes, but you shouldn't take planning so seriously my dear. Things never go according to plan. A new complication we weren't prepared for will arise during the battle, and we would be left back at square one. The best one can do, is to quiet one's mind, and act in the now. In the meantime, enjoy yourselves, calm your mind and body and you will be ready."

"Didn't you make a plan to get an eight headed dragon drunk once so you could kill it?" Vali sarcastically asked.

"I did, in my younger irrational days. The story told of my battle with Orochi are a bit simplified I fear." Susano'o drank more tea from his cup, as he let out a long sigh. "Ah, the memories… I married my wife the very next day after that battle. It was a lovely spring wedding. The mountain scenery was beautiful, the sound of waterfalls so calming, and she looked so beautiful I was at a loss for words." Susano'o closed his eyes and took in a deep breathe. "Sorry that you all had to listen to this rambling old man." He excused himself, and continued to sit in silence.

"Nah, you are alright Lord Susano'o. But we should at least discuss the roles we all shall play in this battle." Azazel had to agree, plans never work out the way you want them to. But they should at least prepare standard formations. "So, I think Vali and Issei will be key to taking down Fenrir. Vali with his divine dividing, and Issei with his boosted gear and transfer ability to aid the rest of us, would grant us the upper hand. And, seeing as the Sins had little trouble holding Fenrir down for a short while, they will also be key to putting down that wolf. As for Loki himself, I feel Susano'o here would be obliged to taking him down…"

"Hmm, well we will have to see about that." Susano'o didn't object to Azazel's strategy, it was a good plan. But a plan has to be flexible. "And what of other allies Loki might bring? Who deals with them? Loki has a good idea on who he is up against from that little greeting he and Fenrir gave you guys yesterday. Who is to say he won't bring more Gods? Or other types of beasts from the North? Loki is a God of Mischief. With those types of opponents, one must expect the unexpected."

"Well… in that scenario we have to hope we can all pull through. Reinforcements are limited due to the Hero Faction's constant assault on all the Factions." Azazel replied, they were in a shitty situation for sure. If Loki brought other allies from the Norse they could be in serious trouble. "But I doubt it would prove too difficult. You are going to be there after all." Azazel stated as he looked at Susano'o. "You are quite the powerful God, and should rival Fenrir no problem." Azazel revealed earning a few collective gasps from around them, and especially drawing the attention of Vali who glared at the Storm God.

"My, thank you for your vote of confidence, Azazel. But I could say the same about you, you are after all possibly the strongest of the Fallen Angels." Susano'o didn't seem to care much for his rank and status, in fact he seemed more concerned with tea than anything at this moment. As the Storm God humbly accepted Azazel's praise, and resumed to refill his cup with tea.

"Yeah, well… I would say I am… the second strongest." Azazel reveals as he casts a glance over at Amon, who stands in a corner of the room with Bikou and Arthur. Azazel's gaze wandered onto Vali, seeing the glare he was giving the Storm Shinto God. Azazel decided to ask his former associate a question. "Vali, what is your reason for cooperating with us?"

Vali's head perked up in responds to Azazel's question. "I just want to fight Loki and Fenrir, simple as that. Bikou, Amon and Arthur agreed to help me. Does this reason not satisfy you?"

Azazel and Itachi both twitch their brows in suspicion of Vali, he was definitely after something else entirely. Unlike Itachi, Azazel decided to be blunt about it. "Yeah, hell no it doesn't satisfy me. But your help is needed, I will give you that. Right now, we are in a situation where none of the Factions can send their manpower to help us, because of the Hero Faction. I suspect your group and the Hero Faction have a connection, but judging by your personality I know you wouldn't work with them." Azazel gave a sly smirk. He knew a lot about Vali seeing as Vali once used to work for the Grigori faction.

"Yeah, we tend to stay out of each other's way as much as possible. Just so you know, whether you accept this temporarily alliance or not makes no difference to me. I will fight Loki and Fenrir regardless. Even if it means dragging you lot into the line of fire." Vali was quite brutally honest in his desire to go through with this battle, even though Fenrir with its fangs could tear him apart, he had no fear of the wolf.

"If you are so determined to win this, why not bring Ophis?" Itachi decided to ask, without a doubt Loki and Fenrir would prove to be no problem for the might of Ophis.

"Ophis doesn't work just with my team, we are just her… favorites sort of. Besides, Ophis doesn't act unless there is something of interest to her. Unless you are willing to offer yourself up to her, I doubt she will come to our aid." Vali pointed out, as there are two things that seem to take priority for the Dragon God of Infinity. Killing Great Red and recruiting Itachi.

"That's not going to happen." Itachi was quick to reply, to which he had the backing of his entire peerage, along with Rias and Sona.

"Heh, well there you have it." Vali shrugged.

Whilst everyone was on edge, the gate sized doors opened into the room, as Odin stepped in along with Rossweisse. "Ah good, everyone seems ready for a fight. Keep that spirit, you will all need it." Odin gave a heartful chuckle, like he enjoyed seeing all of them on edge. "If you all are done squawking, you would be happy to hear I have come up with a solution for our Loki problem."

At hearing this Azazel in particular perked up. "Oh? You managed to get ahold of Thor or something?" At the mentioning of his own son, Odin merely shook his head.

"No, Thor won't be able to make it…" Odin rolled his eyes at Azazel. Itachi raised his brow out of curiosity, did Odin have issues with his own son Thor? Or with Azazel? Either way, Odin's mannerisms seemed rather carefree of the situation.

"But I've managed to get you guys help in getting some information on Loki and his accursed wolf. From someone that knows far more about them than myself. And I have spoken to some old acquaintances about giving you some useful weapons for the upcoming battle." Odin revealed, which begged the question who would provide all this for them?

"From who?" Itachi asked the Chief Norse God.

"Well, for the information it would be from Fenrir's own younger brother, Loki's middle child the Dragon King Midgardsormr, the World Serpent. And as for the weapons, I called in the favors of some dwarfs, Brok and Sindri." Odin upon mentioning one of the Dragon King's, and the largest dragon in existence. Along the two famous craftsmen Brok and Sindri who made Thor's hammer Mjolnir. Itachi himself didn't know much about these characters, but he supposed it made sense.

"Would Midgardsormr even help us? We are talking about possibly killing his father and brother here." Bikou pointed out as he was balancing on his staff like some circus performer.

"About that…" Odin's mood turned rather serious, as he looked with a grim expression. "Under no circumstances are you to kill Loki. Fenrir? Go right ahead and put that monster down for all I care. But I require Loki."

"Easier said than done." Vali scoffed at the idea of not killing the Norse Trickster God, earning the title of God Slayer seems rather appealing after all.

"That's where the weapons Brok and Sindri will craft for you comes in, you are to seal and imprison Loki, nothing more. Whoever else he brings God or Jotunn, feel free to massacre the lot." Odin stated with a stone-cold expression, but what made Loki so special?

"Heh, so the rumors of the pact between you two are true, eh?" Azazel chuckled with his hands tucked into his pockets, in that brief moment Odin showed some killing intent directed at Azazel.

"A pact?" Rias questioned, she like Sona and Itachi desired as much information for the upcoming fight as anyone.

"A blood pact between the All Father here, and that trickster. Odin is apparently forbidden from causing Loki's death whether it be directly or indirectly. But it seems not to go both ways, eh?" Azazel despite the disapproving looks from Odin chuckled at this predicament. "In other words, old Odin here is pissed that Loki had to set things up so he himself had to be involved in any shape or form in this conflict. Because if Loki had attacked us or the Shinto Gods without Odin being present, he wouldn't be involved and we could kill Loki no problem. My, what a devious trickster that Loki is." Judging by Odin's angered expression, Azazel's words seemed to carry some truth to it.

"Either way, you are only to capture Loki, are we clear?" Odin's facial expression seemed to relax a bit. It did make Itachi wonder. How bad the consequences would be for Odin if he went against this blood pact between him and Loki.

"We understand Lord Odin, we wouldn't want to do anything to disrupt the peace between our factions." Sona spoke for the rest of the group. If something happened to Odin, they may lose their favor with the Norse Faction.

Odin seemed pleased at the answer. "Good, now we must make haste. My sources tell me Loki is making his move towards Muspelheim. If he desires Ragnarök, he is without a doubt going to seek help from Surtr. You all need to intercept Loki before he makes contact with Surtr or we will all be in real trouble."

"Uh, is this Surtr some real big shot or something?" Issei whispered to Kiba and Saji, they all seemed to wonder what could possibly scare the All Father of the Norse Aesir Gods.

"Surtr is a Primordial God of fire in Norse Mythology. He is the one destined to destroy the nine realms at Ragnarök." Bob having overheard Issei's question answered the trio, shocking them a bit that Bob of all people had some knowledge of Norse mythology. Rossweisse and Odin as well seemed impressed at hearing the reincarnated Devil's knowledge of their own faction.

"Wait so this guy is going to destroy the world? Man, this is starting to sound really dangerous." Issei and Saji both turned a bit blue in the face, as they had a cold sweat running down their backs.

"And here I thought these two dragon boys would be more curious about the world serpent." Eto giggled at the fact that Issei and Saji both seemed to ignore the mention of the Dragon King.

"Anyway, how do we go about getting ahold of Midgardsormr? From my understanding he is sleeping at the bottom depth of the ocean in Northern Europe." Itachi was more curious how they would obtain contact with the Dragon King. It wasn't like they all could swim to the bottom of the ocean just to talk to him.

"We'll use the Dragon Gate, with the power of the two Heavenly Dragons, as well as a Dragon King it shouldn't be a problem to reach that lazy sleeping giant snake." Azazel pointed out, as he suggested that Vali, Issei and Saji all came closer to him. Azazel then pulled out a golden dagger from his pocket, the dagger itself felt like a powerful Sacred Gear, most likely hosting the spirit of a Dragon King. "So, the rest of you wait here, alright? Try and be good hosts to Odin-dono and Susano'o-dono, daddy will be home soon kids." Azazel winked at Itachi, Rias and Sona who all visibly cringed.

"Ah, and it will also help to have the help of another." With a flick of his fingers, Azazel summoned forth a magic circle, to which a blazing swirl of fire emerged, and out stepped a human sized Tannin. "Yo, sorry to call you on such short notice." Azazel greeted the Blaze Meteor Dragon King.

"My student seemed to be in a predicament, as his trainer it only seemed natural to respond to your call." Tannin's words made Issei a bit teary eyed, seems Issei's torturous training with Tannin had brought master and student closer.

"Sensei!" Issei was about to run up and hug his master, put instead his face clashed with the palm of said master.

"Quit it." Tannin sounded a bit flustered at his student's attempt to display affection.

"Yeah, I kind of figured." Issei with a sheepishly grin backed away, only to find Asia tugging at his wrist. "Huh, what is it?" Issei noticed Asia was carefully eyeing someone in the corner of the room. Issei followed Asia's gaze, seeing it landing on the stoic looking Amon, who continued to merely gaze at the floor. Issei's gaze kind of remained on Amon for a bit, this was Raynare's younger brother, the motivation behind all of Raynare's crimes. It was all for him, in the short moment where Issei had fought against Raynare's mind control over him after the fight with Diodora. Issei had felt all of Raynare's emotions, her hatred for all devil kind, her hatred for Itachi, Rias, and her hatred for Issei himself. But more than that, he also felt her grief over the death of her and Amon's younger sister Yuuma. More than that, he had felt Raynare's love for her siblings.

Issei looked to Asia, seeing her innocent like eyes looking a bit hesitant to approach Amon. "You want to thank him?" Issei asked and Asia responded with a weak and shy nod. 'Asia is just so pure! She is my pride and joy!' Issei beamed with pride at Asia. "Let's go then." Issei walked together with Asia, holding hands as they stood before Amon.

Amon's gaze trailed upwards as he saw their shoes coming into his field of vision. His emotionless gaze lifted up to their eye level, he looked a bit bewildered as to why they would approach him. "What?" Amon asked, his voice sounded broken, he looked like a mere husk of what he used to be.

"Can we have a moment of your time, Amon?" Issei respectfully requested, which seemed to bewilder Amon a bit more. He only gave them a mere nod in responds. And so, Issei urged Asia to step forward.

"Um… thank you very much for saving me." Asia smiled with gratitude at Amon, who looked a bit surprised at receiving thanks. It seemed like Amon kind of expected them to cuss him out or something.

"I don't require your thanks… I am not worthy of it." Amon dismissed them, to which Asia seemed a bit confused.

"You saved my life. You are very much worthy." Asia insisted.

"… It was only right, you saved mine first. Best not to overthink this anymore." Amon dismissed them and backed away. Asia seemed a bit sad at the responds. Issei in responds took a deep sigh.

"You are not your sister." Issei voiced out causing Amon to stop dead in his tracks. "Raynare… her crimes, are not yours." Issei wasn't sure how Amon would react. Would he blow up in their faces with rage? Attack? Maybe start to cry? It was neither, Amon merely clenched his fists and walked away. It seemed Raynare was still a sore topic for him. "She thought the same you know?" Issei didn't feel like stepping down from this conversation yet. "She knew it was all her. She did it all for you, yeah true. But it was still all on her."

"… Do not die in this battle, Hyoudou Issei, Asia Argento." With that Amon walked over to Arthur and Bikou, both greeting the fallen angel with smiles.

"Issei! What's the hold up?! Come on!" Azazel called out to Issei from the other side of the room, where he stood with Vali, Tannin, Itachi and a nervous looking Saji who eyed Tannin. Guess Saji was nervous over encountering a Dragon King in person.

Issei quickly ran over to them, standing between Tannin and Saji. "Hey kid, why does the host of Vritra look like he is about to piss himself?" Tannin eyed the trembling Saji from the corner of his eye, it was kind of hard for Tannin to ignore the sound of cackling teeth coming from the frightened Saji.

"P-Pleased to meet you esteemed Lord Tannin! I-I-I am Saji Genshirou!" Saji shakingly introduced himself to Tannin.

"Huh, Saji why are you so scared of the old man?" At hearing how Issei addressed Tannin as old man, Saji paled and gasped.

"Idiot! He is the Ultimate Class Devil Tannin-sama! To call him old man…!" At hearing how Saji addressed Tannin, the Dragon King's ego seemed to boost up a bit as he held his head up high looking rather smug.

Vali watched Issei and Saji with contempt, like they were both a duo of clowns. "Man, how I wished you could have been born half human." Vali sighed as he stood next to Itachi. Vali had mentioned this during their battle at the conference, how he wished Itachi had been born a devil human hybrid like himself, and ended up as the host of Ddraig.

"If I were, this rivalry would end rather quickly." Itachi retorted causing Vali to snort with amusement.

"Alright, enough goofing around kids." Azazel creates a magic circle underneath them, as they all fade away in a bright flash of light. In the next moment, Azazel, Tannin, Vali, Issei and Saji were all gone.

A long-paused silence follows as the dragon powered wielders vanished, until the cough of Odin broke the silence. "While they talk to the world serpent. How about we go and see Brok and Sindri about those weapons, eh?" Odin patted the back of Itachi, urging them all to follow him. Odin using his spear cut a rift in time and space. "Come along now." Odin steps into the rift.

"Shouldn't we wait for Issei-san and the others?" Asia looked a bit lost without her valiant sworn protector and beloved.

"Don't you worry Asia. I will keep you safe." Xenovia confidently declared, and Asia seemed a bit more relaxed. But she was worried how Issei would react when he came back and they weren't there.

"Not to worry, I will stay behind and take them to Svartalfheim to meet up with you when they return." Rossweisse assured.

"Well, let's go everyone." Itachi stepped into the rift, shortly followed by Harry, Bob, Raven, Jack, Damian, Kuroka and Eto.

Itachi looked amazed at what he saw once he stepped out of the rift. It was like they were in a different galaxy. Stars and colored gas clouds made up the sky, filling it with a sense of mystic. Itachi and the Sins looked around, as they were standing on a long thick tree branch that span for miles, it was like they were standing on a giant tree floating in the middle of nowhere. "Welcome to Yggdrasil." Odin introduced them to the world tree, that connected all the Nine Realms of Norse Mythology.

"Wow, I can see why Amaterasu was interested in this." Susano'o voiced out in awe as he stepped out from the rift to join them. "It's beautiful, very peaceful."

"Yes, yes, it is all very pretty. Now if we can get a move on, we are on a tight schedule. Loki is probably in Muspelheim already trying to recruit Surtr, we have no time to waste." Odin seemed stressed and in immense rush, who could blame him? If they were talking about the Primordial God of Fire, the Fire Giant Surtr who is said to bring about the destruction of Asgard, any Aesir God would be nervous.

Rias and Sona stepped through the rift with their peerage as well, with Asia tightly holding onto Xenovia, shortly followed by Irina. And following behind them were Amon, Bikou and Arthur of Team Vali, and shortly after them came Akeno's father Baraqiel. Then the rift closed up, with Rossweisse staying behind to guide Azazel and the rest when they returned.

Odin was quick to guide them, as with his magic once everyone was present, he teleported them over to mystic gateway that stood on one of the roots of Yggdrasil. "Now come on." Odin opened the gate to Svartalfheim, and they all followed the All Father.

The very next moment when they exited to the other side of the gate, Itachi found himself looking at a mine entrance into a mountain. Looking around he saw Svartalfheim was rich with various mountains, and a lot of rivers spanning for miles on end with a healthy-looking green forest stretching along with the river line.

"Come now." Odin instructed, guiding them into the mine. The deeper they went they heard the sound of clanking metal. Itachi and the rest walked in a single filed line, as a bunch of dwarves headed in the other direction. The dwarves all seemed to roughly reach up to Itachi's stomach area, most had bushy beards and wore helmets.

They entered a wide spacious area, where the source of the clanking metal came from. "All Father…" A blue looking bald dwarf greeted with a bit of sarcasm in his tone. "What brings you here?"

"Well hello to you too, Brok." Odin rolled his eye as he greeted the dwarf.

"Brok, I just finished designing a brand-new table for-" A second dwarf came in, and instantly got spooked as he laid eyes on Odin. "Oh my! All Father… what brings you here?"

"Sindri." Odin greeted the second dwarf. "I need, you to make a replica of Mjolnir."

At hearing this, Brok stopped hammering whatever weapon he was crafting. "A replica of Mjolnir? Heh, what did Thor lose the old one? Has he tried calling it back?"

"No, it's not for Thor. Thor is busy, and unable to assist us. Loki is trying to start Ragnarök. And our devil, angel and fallen angel friends, and uh, Shinto God and a few humans here have agreed to help us. But they need Mjolnir to seal Loki." Odin explained, and the two dwarves seemed to be following.

"Alright, we uhh, have some spare material around here from when we first made Mjolnir. We'll get right to it, be but a moment, All Father." Sindri bowed to Odin as he went to get the needed material. Sindri then froze however, as he his gaze fell on their group. "Oh my… Brok, Brok come here." Sindri called over his brother.

"What is it?" Brok groaned a bit, but when he followed to where Sindri was pointing he got really quiet as well. "Hey, you!" Brok pointed, and the group all looked on Itachi.

"Eh, me?" Itachi asked and Brok and Sindri both nodded, and urged him to come closer.

"You feel that brother? I haven't been this inspired to make a weapon for centuries." Sindri seemed very excited, and Brok nodded his head as he inspected Itachi's body. Lifting his arms, and moving them around.

"Yeah, I get ya. What's your name kid?" Brok asked as he continued to estimate Itachi's body weight and height.

"Itachi…" Itachi quickly introduced, as he was a bit weirded out by all of this.

"Hmm, I'm thinking a sword. What about you?" Sindri asked Brok as they continued to study Itachi.

"Hmm, maybe. Hey kid, wave this around for us." Brok handed Itachi a simple stick.

"Umm, pardon?" Itachi and the others looked rather confused.

"You know, wave it around like you would a weapon. Imagine the weapon you would be most comfortable in using. And treat that stick as such." Brok demonstrated by waving his arm around with another stick. "Go on then!" He insisted.

Itachi looked over to Rias and Sona, both were speechless and merely shrugged their shoulders, as did everyone. While Susano'o seemed intrigued at what was happening. "Just humor them." Odin sighed, feeling time was of the essence.

Itachi imagined himself holding a short sword, like he used to in the ANBU days, and began swinging it around. Performing various slash instant killer moves he would use. But as he did, Itachi couldn't help but feel a little troubled. As every time he swung the stick, images of him cutting down his Uchiha clansmen with the short sword played over in his mind.

Brok and Sindri carefully studied Itachi's form and posture. "Hmm, yes, I think a short sword would be ideal. Do we have enough material?" Sindri asked.

"Yeah, and I think we have something else we could use." Brok went to the backroom, tossing stuff around searching for a special item. "Aha! Found it!" Brok came walking out carrying a giant tooth that looked like it had belonged to a giant serpent.

"Is that… a tooth?" Sona asked.

"Yeah, it is a fang from the original Leviathan Maou. She came around these parts in the past, turned into a giant beast over some argument with Asgard. And Thor, came in with his hammer and banged her across the face. And knocked this bad boy out. Thor gave it to us, as thanks for Mjolnir." Brok revealed which left Rias, Sona and Itachi awestruck. That fang used to belong to the previous Leviathan? The original.

"Speaking of Mjolnir, where's the replica?" Odin said impatiently.

"We'll get to it in a moment." Brok brushed off Odin's complaint.

Footsteps echoed from the mine, as coming rushing in were Rossweisse along with Issei, Vali, Saji, Azazel and Tannin who had just finished their meeting with Midgardsormr. "As promised, I brought them here." Rossweisse smiled to Asia who looked relieved to see Issei was back.

"Hey Asia-chan! Buchou!" Issei ran up to his friends. Although looked weirded out, as to him Itachi seemed to be playing around with a stick while two short men observed him making notes. "What's uh, what's that about?"

"Brok and Sindri here got inspired the moment they saw Itachi, and wanted to make a weapon for him it would seem." Rias informed the newcomers to the scene.

"That so?" Azazel rubbed his chin out of curiosity.

"We came here for the chains of Gleipnir. We need them to restrain Fenrir." Vali didn't bother with the situation, and instantly stepped up to Brok and Sindri.

"Gleipnir, it's in the back. Sindri, go get it." Brok instructed to which Sindri groaned and went to quickly get the chains. "Ugh, they are covered in dust. Take it away! Take it away!" Sindri came stumbling in carrying the chains, and was quick to hand them over to Vali.

"What did Midgardsormr tell you?" Rias asked her pawn.

"Umm, well he said to come here and get the chains. And take them to some dark elf elders to enhance them. And that it should be enough to restrain Fenrir with them. And he said that Loki should be dealt with easily enough using Mjolnir.

"Yes, and we would have our replica of Mjolnir, if Brok and Sindri here could hurry it up!" Odin seemed to grow more impatient.

"Yeah! Yeah! We're done anyway. We'll get to it right away." Brok and Sindri had finished studying Itachi's form, and went right to making the Mjolnir replica to please Odin, or maybe just to shut him up.

Itachi tossed the stick aside, and walked back over to the others. "Odd, why would they even be inspired to make a weapon for a devil? And why you specifically?" Sona asked Itachi the moment he came over.

"How should I know?" Itachi shrugged. Itachi found this experience to be quite weird himself.

"They are dwarves, they love to design weapons for great warriors. Maybe they saw some potential in ya?" Azazel smoothed the situation over, and seemed to be quick to change the subject. "Now, me and Vali need to get these chains to the dark elves. Be back in a bit." Azazel patted the Sitri twins on the back, as he and Vali rushed out of the mine with the Gleipnir chains.

Vali and Azazel both managed to return before the Mjolnir replica was even finished, it had taken them less than an hour to get to the dark elf elders and back. The Gleipnir chains in Vali's grasp were glowing with a dark violet like aura now, and strapped onto Vali's belt, hanging from his right side.

Itachi quietly moved over next to Vali, everyone else too focused on seeing Brok and Sindri at work. "Tell me, how did Midgardsormr seem to you?" Itachi asked, and Vali raised a brow at the sudden question.

"Didn't Issei or Saji brief you while we were gone?" Vali sighed.

"They did, Issei described the world serpent as lazy and laid back. But still, I think you are better at reading people through their mannerisms than they are. Which is why I would like to hear your thoughts on the infamous World Serpent." Itachi revealed and Vali smirked at the subtle compliment.

"Why do you want to know?" Vali asked. Although he seemed to know the answer judging by the knowing look he gave Itachi.

"Midgardsormr, like Fenrir is Loki's son. I wonder if he might come to aid his father and brother in battle. Like he is supposed to do at Ragnarök according to the prophecy." At this Vali cracks a smirk over having guessed correctly what the question was going to be.

"To be honest, he wasn't anything like I had expected him to be. He seemed so lazy and laid back, what is more when we mentioned Loki and Fenrir to him. He did not care. Calling them meaningless existences." Vali revealed to which Itachi gave a curious hum, and looked to be in deep thought.

"Hn, doesn't sound like the world ending monster destined to kill Thor, does it?" Itachi says it so casually that Vali snorts a bit.

"Don't tell me you believe in prophecies?"

"I don't. But Odin sure seems to." Itachi reveals as he observed the impatient looking All Father pacing back and forth within the workshop.

Vali gave a confused look. "How so?"

"Odin sure was quick to approve the death of Fenrir. Seeing as the wolf is destined to kill Odin at Ragnarök." Itachi revealed, as even if Loki is crucial for Ragnarök to start, Odin forbid them from killing Loki out of some blood pact they had. Even if ending Loki could prevent the end times from happening, according to the prophecy.

"And your point is?" Vali asks, still seeming to miss the point.

"The general thing about prophecies. They can either be true, misread, or even false. But one thing is always a certainty. If the prophecies tell of misfortune befalling a certain someone, that certain someone often more than naught becomes more dangerous than anything. As they would do anything to prevent their own fate." At hearing this Vali seemed to be catching on.

"So, in other words. You don't trust Odin." At Vali's statement Itachi falls silent for a brief moment.

"Trust is earned, and although Odin hasn't given me a reason to distrust him yet. He hasn't given me a reason to trust him either. I am more concerned if his mind is in the right place for this upcoming battle. If this ends up actually becoming Ragnarök, I'm worried he might do something rash that could afflict us all."

Vali nods in agreement, thinking of a certain scum of a man that resembled Vali himself a bit. Especially with the silver hair. "I get what you mean. But tell me this, why do you think Odin brought us here to get these weapons? It is because he won't be on the battlefield. The old man is afraid of the wolf. But something tells me you've already caught onto that." Vali says seeing as Itachi knows of the prophecy. Fenrir eats and kills Odin at Ragnarök.

"Excuse me, here." Sindri walks up to Itachi bringing Itachi and Vali's conversation to a halt. Sindri presents Itachi with a short sword, made out of the Leviathan fang along with some metallic material. Itachi touched his finger at the metal, and felt a small surge of electricity run through his body. "We used leftover material from the making of the replica of Mjolnir, to make this. We thought of calling it the Leviathan Blade. Seeing as, well… the blade is the fang of Leviathan, so…" Sindri held the blade out for Itachi, and the Sitri heir gratefully accepted.

"Um, thank you." Itachi thanked as he lifted up the blade. Inspecting it, he felt a strong demonic power coming from the blade. And something else, something that felt odd but yet familiar. "How much do you require for payment?" Itachi asked.

"Well, a few gold coins would do." Sindri's hand awaited the payment, and Itachi quickly summoned a bag containing more than just a few golden coins. "Oh yeah! That will do!" Sindri exerted his breathe, as he tried to carry the heavy bag.

"And here is your stinkin' hammer." Brok tossed a big metal headed hammer at Odin, and the All Father caught it in his grasp. "Well done." Odin praised the work of the dwarves. "Now then gang, off to Muspelheim to find Loki and defeat him." Odin prepared to make a portal for Itachi and the others to travel into Muspelheim.

"Wait, before we go. Some of us are going to have to stay behind." Azazel declares leaving some baffled. "We're going to need a sickbay in this battle. We're up against a God as well as one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World, potentially two actually if Loki convinces Surtr. Itachi and the Sins are all coming to join in the battle. That goes for all of Team Vali as well. So am I, Baraqiel, Susano'o, Tannin, Rossweisse and Irina. When it comes to Rias Gremory's peerage, we're going to need Gasper and Asia to stay behind and act as medics. And Sona Sitri's peerage, we only need Saji Genshirou and Tsubaki Shinra to join their master in this battle."

"What?!" Tsubasa, Sona's Rook looked a little outraged. "Why do I need to sit this one out?!"

"Yeah, I want to help too!" Tomoe pouted.

"It's not that I doubt your strength, we just need a good deal of people here. In this battle we have been given three bottles of Pheonix tears for emergency use. And we're bringing Raven as our main healer, as she can heal multiple people over a wider range. Asia is more of a use here to use her Twilight Healing on people in need, in a controlled area. And Gasper with his time stopping powers, can halt anyone from bleeding out. That is what we need you for, we need you to help Asia and Gasper with the healing of our injured and manage a controlled area for them to work in. That and Momo and Reya here already have some healing skills as well, so they are also needed here. This is the plan, and it is how we make it out of this alive. Understood?" Azazel really showed off his skills as a Faction leader, or more like a general in the field. The years of experience Azazel held under his belt, due to the previous war between the three factions, was unrivaled amongst all of them.

"Tsubasa, Tomoe, Ruruko, Reya, Momo, I am counting on you for this task." Sona encouraged her peerage, who all gave a firm nod at their master.

"And of course, I will be staying behind as well." Odin declared, many were surprised that a God would sit this one out, but some weren't. Azazel sighed as if he had expected it.

"Well, your wisdom and knowledge would come in handy for our people here. Well, then, we're off." Azazel declared as Odin opened up a portal leading to Muspelheim.

"Of course, before you go." Odin chucked the replica of Mjolnir, sending it flying into the grasp of Issei. "A devil couldn't possibly wield Mjolnir, nor could a Fallen Angel. However, the arm of a dragon most certainly can. I entrust this hammer to Sekiryuutei-san."

"Th-Thank you, sir! I will take good care of it." Issei saluted the All Father who quickly brushed him off.

"Eh, just make sure to hit Loki with it." Odin dismissed them, but not before swinging his spear Gungnir over all their heads, dazzling down waves of magical energy around them. "Muspelheim is a world of fire, molten lava and molten rocks. All its mountains are active volcanos that are always erupting. This protection spell should shield your bodies from the not so hospitable environment of Muspelheim.

"That sounds like hell… and we've been to hell." Saji and Issei both paled, as the way Muspelheim was described seemed like actual hell they would learn about through religion.

"That's what the protection spell is for kiddo." Odin chuckles at seeing their pale faces. "Now, the goal is to prevent Loki from reaching Surtr. If Loki manages to recruit him, then Ragnarök is upon us." Odin addressed how serious the situation was, and everyone understood the gravity of the situation.

"Let's go then." Azazel was the first to enter the portal leading to Muspelheim, shortly followed by Susano'o, Baraqiel and Tannin.

"I wish you all luck in battle." Rossweisse saluted them as she entered the portal next.

"Well, let's go." Itachi sheeted his new Leviathan Blade, and entered the portal followed closely by his peerage members. Rias followed with Issei, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, Kiba and Irina. And lastly Sona, Tsubaki and Saji stepped in after having the rest of Sona's peerage wish them luck.

The moment they arrive in Muspelheim, Itachi and co all look amazed at their surroundings. Just like Odin had described, a world of fire, molten lava and molten rocks. Lava rivers stretching as far as the eye could see, and plenty of mountains that were all active volcanos, erupting every minute or so. Thanks to Odin's protection spell, none of them felt hot despite their fiery surroundings.

"Holy crap…" Issei swallowed down a nervous lump in his throat, his grip clinging onto the Mjolnir replica. While Vali held onto the Gleipnir chains.

Itachi raised his brow, as he could hear what sounded like thunder in the far distance. Thunder, a lot of banging and the ground trembling at their feet. "An earthquake? Here?"

"Best not to think about it, it is just the violent environment of Muspelheim. Judging by the light sound vibrations, it must be on the other side of Muspelheim." Rossweisse analyzed as the only representative of Asgard present.

"How big is this place?" Issei asked after hearing Rossweisse comment on the earthquake coming from the other side of this lava world.

"All the Nine realms of Yggdrasil, including Muspelheim, are as big as the planet Earth itself. Or Midgard as we call it. Some have actually theorized that all the Nine realms, are just alternate versions of Earth in a different reality or universe." Rossweisse revealed some lore for the clueless Issei.

"Heh, you really sound like a teacher talking like that." Bob made a light comment.

"I am a Valkyrie, a battle queen, it is my duty to know of the Nine realms." Rossweisse huffed at Bob, who grew slightly annoyed at her attitude.

"Well, this is a surprise." A voice came from above, and all looked up to see their target, Loki along with Fenrir. Fenrir was practically foaming, its eyes seemed bloodshot. "Heh, you lot couldn't even wait for the day of the meeting to meet your end, eh?" Loki taunted them.

"Did you really think All Father in his infinite wisdom would wait for you to come at us with Fenrir's fangs?!" Rossweisse was quick to retort.

Loki laughs in the face of the battle maiden. "Very well, if you lot think you are up for stopping me… and my army." Loki snapped his fingers, and instantly multiple ripples through space appeared. Giant thundering footsteps echoed from the rifts, and climbing out were several gigantic looking creatures. Their numbers reached the hundreds. Massive muscular and fat looking creatures, with large curved fangs sticking out from their cheekbones.

Rossweisse looked pale in the face as she trembled. "You fiend, you brought an army of Jotnar?!" This was overkill, especially since Loki already had Fenrir.

"What are those things?" Saji questioned in fear, just one of them eclipsed Tannin in terms of height.

"They are Jotunn… Giants. A different type of Gods from the Norse Pantheon." Azazel explained as he readied his golden dagger.

"Pfft, they are hardly Gods… more like monsters." Rossweisse scoffed, as expected from an Aesir, they really disliked the Jotunn Giants. Then again, the feeling was mutual.

"Wait, there is more." Two smaller wolves appeared out from a ripple, standing next to the bigger wolf Fenrir. "My grandsons, Skoll and Hati. And my lover…" Loki snapped his finger again, as a second ripple appeared next to him, and coming floating out was a muscular redhaired woman, wielding a witch's staff. "Angrboda."

"Ho, quite the family gathering here, huh?" Susano'o said looking calm and laid back about this whole situation. Despite the fact they were all heavily outnumbered.

"And once I find Surtr and make him apart of my army, I will have my daughter Hel bring about her army, and Ragnarök shall begin!" Loki declared with a crazed look on his face.

"You are wrapped in dangerous thoughts." Baraqiel says, as his muscles are swelling a bit, and his body is crackling with holy lightning.

"The first one to come with a dangerous idea was your side. All the three main factions recorded in the bible, united. And started forming an alliance with other factions. Ever since you lot formed an alliance. Everything has been distorted."

"Looks like you have no intention to talk." Baraqiel summoned forth his ten Fallen Angel wings, as he cloaked his hand with holy thunder.

"Promotion Queen! Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!" Issei instantly promoted himself, and jumped in with his Balance Breaker armor, wielding the Mjolnir replica. It seemed Issei was eager to end this battle quickly.

"Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!" Vali soared after Issei, the chains of Gleipnir rattling behind him as he aimed for Fenrir.

Loki looked pleased at this outcome, as he smirks. Loki grabs onto Issei's wrist before he can swing the hammer, and he catches Vali's fist. "How amusing. The two Heavenly Dragons join forces to fight me, my heart has never raced to such lengths before." Loki pushes Issei's arm backwards, before blasting him with a beam of energy that sent the pervert crashing into a lava river. Loki then hoisted his lower body up a bit, and delivered a kick to Vali's chest sending him propelling into the sky.

"What did I say? There is always something that doesn't go according to plan." Susano'o sighed as he drew out his sword. To which the smoky black clouds of Muspelheim, turned into thunder clouds and generated mighty stormy winds. Susano's eyes flashed bright white, and lightning crackled between his teeth as he took a giant leap at the Jotnar army. In the blink of an eye, he had beheaded three Jotnar, and sliced off the arm of another Jotunn.

Tannin took flight to the heavens, and unleashed an arial bombardment of fire blasts. The fire giants buckled under the immense power of Tannin's attacks, one breath attack from the Dragon King was said to rival a meteor strike. "A Dragon King like my own lazy son… My such a pleasure." Loki smiles as glowing lights emerged from his hand, falling out from Loki's palms were hooked blades attached to chains. The chains rattled as they fell out from Loki's palms.

Loki span around the chained hooks, generating intense winds that blew away Tannin's bombardment onto Loki's armada. Tannin growled and roared in the face of Loki and the Trickster God took a giant leap towards the Dragon King. "Come then little God!" Tannin challenged and swung his claw down on Loki, who merely flipped his body over the deadly claws, and bounced onto Tannin's forearm. Tannin then sprayed Loki with a wave of fire.

Spinning his chained hooks, Loki created a vortex that sucked in the flames. "Dragon King or not, it seems my son would have heavily outclassed you." Loki taunted as he chucked one of the hooks at Tannin. The hook flew past Tannin's head, and latched onto one of his horns. Loki then chucked the second hook, which latched onto Tannin's other horn. Loki smirked as he pulled himself backwards, leaning his back onto the chains feeling them tighten.

Loki then took a giant leap over Tannin's head, and landed onto solid ground behind the Dragon King. Loki then leaned backwards, and yanked the chains. "Ugh!" Tannin grunted as he was pulled down from the sky, still standing on his own feet, Tannin struggled to remain standing by pushing his body forward. Loki however, with his godlike strength, pulled down the giant purple dragon. Tannin fell backwards into a giant pool of lava. And with a good shake, Loki yanked the hooks of his chains back into his grasps.

Tannin emerged roaring from the lava pool, with Issei on his head. Tannin unleashed a mighty breath attack at Loki. Loki chucked one of his hooks, this time it latched onto Tannin's jaw. Loki then ran around the Dragon King, and took a giant leap at him. Loki dropkicked Tannin's at his temple, breaking off one of the Dragon King's horns.

"Bastard!" Issei roared and swung the Mjolnir replica at Loki. Loki easily ducked and wrapped his chains around Issei's wrist. The chains connected through Tannin's jaw, hanging over his remaining horn and now bound around Issei's wrists. Loki hoisted Issei up a bit.

"Futile." Loki taunted as he ripped off the helm of Issei's Balance Breaker armor. Loki then began punching Issei's face, in one hit he broke Issei's nose and blood leaked out like a fountain.

"Hyoudou!" A line came swinging in like a whip, clashing onto Loki and knocking him down for a brief moment. Saji came swinging in and broke Issei free from his restraints. Tannin as well sighed in relief as he plucked the hook out from his jaw. The hook retracted back to Loki, who held onto his hooked blades with the chains rattling around him, floating.

"This sensation… another Dragon King joins the fray? My, my…" Loki snickered, although was then tackled to the ground by a flash of light. As the white armored Vali held Loki down and began slamming his fist into the God's face. "Insolent welp!" Loki tossed Vali off from him, and gave a whistle that summoned Fenrir to this side. "The two Heavenly Dragons, and two Dragon Kings. How wonderful."

Vali spread the wings of Albion, and took flight, as Issei circled around Loki by igniting his boosters to zoom across the land aera faster. Vali igniting the boosters of his wing, and moving in a bright white zig-zag pattern as he closes in on Loki. Vali attacking from the air, and Issei from the ground. "A combination between Red and White, I am most likely the first to ever have a fight like this." Loki looks very lively, as he begins spinning his chained hooked blades around him, covering both his flanks as they moved like a turbine.

The spinning chains began generating massive whirlwinds, that engulfed both Issei and Vali. Loki smirked as he clicked his teeth together. "Get caught ablaze!" Loki's chains turned into a fiery color, as the giant whirlwinds ignited in a spectacular blaze of fire. Vali flies around like an acrobat and manages to avoid the fire as well as the spinning chains.

Issei however, cried out in pain as the flames burnt at his armor, yet with Ddraig's power he remained resistance to the fire. But the hooked blade on Loki's chain had stabbed into Issei's abdomen. "Now!" Issei grabbed onto the chains, and his Boosted Gear went off like a fire alarm. "Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!" As his Sacred Gear continued boosting his power, Issei attempted to yank the chains out from Loki's grip, getting in a tug of war with the God.

"Impudent dragon!" Loki snarled and began pulling back with all his might, using only one hand as he had the other keep Vali occupied with his spinning chains of fire. Loki's godlike strength, made Issei's feet drag up the molten rock beneath his feet as he was pulled towards Loki. Issei's legs pierced through the molten rocky surface and into the magma bellow. Issei let out a war cry as he continued to boost his strength, but it wasn't enough before the strength of a God. Loki with a mighty pull dragged Issei into the magma pool. "Know your place!" Loki yanked his arm backwards, pulling on the chain and hoisting Issei out from the lava pool, as he body slammed Issei into the side of a volcano.

The active volcano showered Issei with a wave of magma, the protection spell of Odin, topped with his Balance Breaker's natural resistance to heat, made this experience seem like nothing more than a hot shower.

Vali had taken his time to charge up his demonic power, gathering it all into his fist. With the attack fully charged, Vali zig-zagged behind over to the side of Loki where his guard was down, by standing before Issei. "Here is my first move!" Vali's magic circle resembled that of Norse magic like Odin and Rossweisse used, and Vali shot it right into Loki's face.

Issei and Saji both gasped in awe, as the sheer magnitude of the destruction from Vali's attack covered up a whole third of the area. "The hammer!" Vali called out to Issei, not about to let up now that Loki was probably stunned. "Throw the damn thing!" Vali shouted at Issei.

"Right!" Infusing his aura into it first, Issei made the Mjolnir replica grow tenfold in size. Issei tossed it like a tomahawk straight into the burning cloud of smoke. With the hammer that big, there was no way it wouldn't make contact with Loki.

The hammer clashed with something metal, and the sheer force of the blow cleared out the smoke left by Vali's attack. Loki seemed to be in distress, having used the chains of his weapons to hold off the hammer long enough to get out of the way. "Damn that Odin… giving a replica of Mjolnir to a bunch of devils! Does he really want the meeting to be that successful?!" Loki avoided that hammer like the plague, and took off flying. His robes a little torn from Vali's attack, but other than that he was unscratched.

"Figured… seems he can't touch the hammer." Vali smirked having learnt something at least from that exchange. "I doubt he can even lift it."

At this Issei and Saji looked baffled. "Are you joking?! If Hyoudou can lift it, then surely that guy could!" Saji pointed out, as it was true Loki had demonstrated his strength by not only overpowering Tannin. But Loki also showed to outclass Issei in strength, with that tug of war earlier.

"It's not a matter of strength. I think the hammer has its own conditions for who can or cannot lift it." Vali revealed, the idea itself seemed ridiculous how could a hammer decide such things? Unless it was alive?! "Try calling it back to you." Vali said and Issei awkwardly held his hand out.

"Come back to me! Mjolnir!" Issei declared like some sort of superhero from a comic book. But the hammer didn't budge. Issei stood there with a stupid look on his face as he sweat dropped. "Why did I think that would work?"

"It is said Thor can call the hammer back to him. Seems it hasn't acknowledged you as its master yet." Vali gave a taunting smirk at Issei. For some reason the hammer not returning, was a real stab into Issei's feelings.

"Fools, you can never truly wield Mjolnir, replica or not. Only those that are really strong willed, and those that are pure of heart can use its full power. Heh, pathetic, no Devil could possibly have a pure heart. You must have quite some wicked emotions in you." Loki taunted them from above. "Thor may not look like it, but he is rather naïve and pure hearted, and his will is so strong he can tear holes into reality with one mere swing of that hammer. I heard your claim earlier White Dragon, I can lift the hammer if I so wished. But due to my nature, it would reject me with all its might. That is why I don't even bother touching it."

"Heh, then none of us can really use the hammer's full power. Well, that's a shame." Vali clicked his tongue in frustration.

"I shall personally eradicate you Dragons, while my child, my beloved and my army will crush the rest!" Loki declared with a crazed grin on his face. Although in the back of his mind Loki experienced a slight concern. 'I just hope the number of Jotnar don't draw the attention of Thor… it is said that wherever Jotunn are causing trouble, the mighty Thor will smite them down with Mjolnir. If Thor gets involved… without the poison of my lazy middle child we cannot beat him.' Loki didn't show fear on the outside, but on the inside, he was terrified of the champion of Asgard. 'Hence why I keep some in reserves should these cretins manage to kill too many of my army.'

The ravaging wolf Fenrir was blocked off by a wall of magical explosions of blue fire caused by Kuroka. The agile acrobatic nekomata easily using her enhanced senses to avoid the attacks of Fenrir. Fenrir however, quickly overcame the wall of blue fire, but then found himself caught in a web of strings. The wolf's limbs were restrained by the strings, as well as his neck. Fenrir let out a feral roar, as he his fangs and claws tore through the strings, while also dragging the culprit out of hiding.

Damian was on full retreat. Fenrir was more blood lusted than their previous encounter. "I think daddy Loki might have spiked this guy's lunch!" Damian commented as he flipped over the drooling jaws of Fenrir.

"I agree." Kuroka transformed the area around Fenrir into a land of vegetation. A tree growing out from the magma ground, pushing Fenrir into the air as various vines wrapped themselves around Fenrir's body. The lava turned into a swamp, and the tree holding Fenrir began sinking into a sand trap. Fenrir's let out an earthshaking roar, the loud volume disrupting Kuroka's senses, and Fenrir's claws extended as he slashed through everything. Fenrir then pounced at Kuroka, ready to sink its fangs into the cat.

Fenrir tasted blood, as the red thick liquid dripped from its mouth. Its jaws latched onto the muscular gigantic arm of Harry Newgate. The wolf growled, as the body of Harry began heating up. "O beast with fangs capable of piercing the flesh of Gods and the Heavenly Dragons. Thy fangs just tasted the blood of a Newgate. Make sure your tastebuds relish in the taste of this rare blood!" Harry's entire body was caught in a blaze, Fenrir's mouth was burning but it did not relent. "For it will be the first and only time you shall taste it, mut." The volcanic fire continues to burn Fenrir's mouth, but the raging beast seems not to care. "Now, bow your head to the might of Harry Newgate!" Harry slammed his elbow atop of Fenrir's head

"Yare, yare, how prideful is that old geezer anyway? His power continues to grow to even resist the bite of Fenrir. But for how long?" Azazel looks at the baffling display Harry was showing against the God slaying wolf, that he couldn't help but snicker a little bit.

"Haki." Suddenly a bright red aura explodes around Harry's body, and this aura unleashes such a mighty force of energy, it forces Fenrir to release Harry's arm from its jaws. "To use this technique for me is rare… I acknowledge your power beast. Therefor I shall respond in kind." This sudden bright red aura merged with Harry's Balance Breaker fire samurai armor, and also heavily focused around his sword. Harry cracks his neck a few times, his sore arm getting cauterized by the flames of his armor.

Fenrir growled as it pounced at Harry, who swung his blade down at the incoming beast. Without directly touching the blade, Fenrir was struck by the aura and groaned as it was launched back a few feet. On closer inspection, Harry's body was not only cladded in the armor of his fire. But his skin had turned black like iron. "Let's see thy fangs in action, O mighty God slayer wolf." Harry leapt at Fenrir and the wolf in responds leapt at Harry.

Harry with his sword raised, and the wolf with its claws and fangs expanded. Clashed midair, generating such a giant shockwave they obliterated an entire island of molten rock, as magma exploded around them. The magma coating them, as they sunk into the fiery lake. The lava lake suddenly dispersed into a spinning vortex, the combined power of Harry and Fenrir's attacks causing the lava to rise into a spinning swirl of magma.

From his point of view, Damian saw something he couldn't believe. Harry was, smiling? The old man was smiling as he faced the feared wolf Fenrir. Even as the wolf pushed back with such force, that Harry started skidding backwards, the old man continued to smile. 'The old man's nuts… Heh, I like your style gramps.' Damian dodged the swift attack of a Jotunn, who swung down a giant club.

Damian with a simple twitch of his finger, had the giant trapped in his web. The giant groaned and grunted, as it was unable to move in this web of strings. The strings tightened around its wrists, arms, ankles, thighs and its throat. Blood began pouring down from the giant's body. Damian leapt over the twenty-meter-tall giant's head, and landed onto a ridge of molten rocks. Damian dragged his arms behind his back, and the strings tightened further, the giant choked to death on its own blood as it began raining down from its massive jaw. The strings dug through its thick fat and flesh.

With a twitch of his finger, Damian moved the right string needed to decapitate the giant Jotunn. The Jotunn's head fell tumbling off its shoulders and crashed into the ground. Only then, did Damian release it from his web.

Harry in the lava pit, grabs onto Fenrir's jaws as the wolf tries to grab another bite out of him. Harry groans as he wrestles around with Fenrir, holding it by its jaw as he drags the wolf further into the lava. The strength of Fenrir's jaws eventually breaks free from Harry's grip, and the wolf headbutts Harry in the solar plexus. Harry groans, as the headbutt from Fenrir alone fractured some of his bones. Harry sheets his blade, as he grabs Fenrir in a headlock.

The giant wolf, and Harry wrestle around in the lava, both unaffected by the heat. Harry tries to pin the wolf down, but its strength is enough to lift the massive muscly body of the Newgate. Harry tightens the headlock, to prevent air from entering the wolf's lungs. The spikes around Fenrir's torso begin to expand, stabbing themselves into Harry. Harry groans as he tumbles down and falls into the lava.

Just as Fenrir is about to tear into Harry's jugular, he gets grabbed from behind by Bob. The former boxer grabs Fenrir in a hold, and lifts the giant wolf, proceeds to lean backwards and suplexing Fenrir. Harry uses this opportunity to regain his footing, before Fenrir has a chance to shake Bob off. Harry draws his sword, and stabs it into Fenrir while he is down. The wolf whimpers a bit, but to Harry's surprise, the blade isn't strong enough to penetrate the wolf's bone.

Fenrir tussles around and shakes Bob off, and pounces on Harry. Harry slams his blade down, intensifying the Haki aura surrounding it. The aura clashes with Fenrir's claws causing giant claw marks to erupt on the rocky surface of Muspelheim from the sheer force of Fenrir's strike alone. Harry raises his arm, and generates a giant ball of fire that he chucks at Fenrir. The fire ball eclipses the giant 10-meter-tall wolf in size, yet Fenrir's fangs tears through it like a ball of rubber.

Bob jumps Fenrir, and proceeds to bang the wolf in the face, while holding it in a headlock. Fenrir growls in annoyance at feeling the full brute force of Bob's punches, that causes shockwaves to vibrate all around them. "Would have been so much easier if I still had my Warhammer!" Bob groans, as his weapon was destroyed in Itachi's battle with Juggernaut Drive Issei. The wolf threw Bob off like a bull, sending the giant former boxer into the ground.

The very space surrounding Fenrir cracks, as it all starts to shake from Harry having punched the air itself. The cracks erupt around Fenrir, and bombards him with invisible strikes. The wolf shakes its head, and growls at the two muscular giants. "Grizzly Claw!" Bob unleashed his shockwave cannon attack, the blast held Fenrir in place. But still the wolf pushed on forward, slowly a step at a time.

"Fire Quake!" In his element, Harry unleashed a mighty earthquake that caused the eruption of flames from his Sacred Gear, as well as the magma sea of Muspelheim. Yet Fenrir did not care, and dug his fangs into their attacks, tearing and ripping them apart. This wolf defied natural laws itself, as expected of a God Slaying monster.

Fenrir slashed his claws at Harry, cutting through his Haki and fire samurai armor, leaving four bloodied gashes on Harry's chest. Then like white flash coming raining down, Vali came in with a dropkick into Fenrir's back. "Divide!" Vali's Sacred Gear halved the power of the wolf, but before he could half it again, Fenrir tossed Vali off from his back.

"What happened to fighting Loki?" Bob asks.

"Hyoudou, Saji and Tannin's got him hold up for a bit… besides… we need these to stop this monster." Vali said revealing the Gleipnir chains.

Harry rushes at Fenrir, this time smacking the wolf with a mighty right hook. With his fist infused with Haki, causing the wolf's face to vibrate from the shock of the punch that sent him skidding backwards. "Fire Slash!" Harry swung his blade down sending a wave of fire slashing into Fenrir. Fenrir resisted the fire slash, pushing ahead although appeared to be struggling. Then it gnawed its fangs onto the fire, and still tore the attack to shreds. Even with half its full power gone, Fenrir was still very powerful.

Fenrir attempts to tackle Harry, standing on two feet the wolf dug his claws through Harry's armor and his Haki, sinking them into Harry's shoulders. While Harry grabbed onto Fenrir holding him still. Vali tossed the Gleipnir chains at Fenrir, to which the booming laughter of Loki could be heard in the background. "Pointless! Countermeasures against Gleipnir have already been-" Loki gasped as the chains wrapped themselves around Fenrir on their own, and his mighty son struggled to break free.

Fenrir howled as he fought against the chains, yet found himself unable to escape or chew through them. "Too bad for you, we knew about it and went to visited some dark elf elders to enhance the chains." Vali threw back tauntingly at Loki, who now looked absolutely livid. Veins were bulging around the God's temple.

"You lot dare harm my beautiful child?!" Loki snarled and summoned forth an armada of Midgardsormr clones. The hissing serpents flung themselves towards Vali, Harry and Bob. Although then a giant dark claw grabbed onto one of the heads, while an even bigger dragon head bit down onto another Midgardsormr clone, and ate it for lunch.

Three black scaled dragon heads growled as they emerged from a dark portal. The Hydra that Trigon unleashed on Kuoh Academy during his invasion, roared with all its three mighty heads. "Sick em' boy." Raven commanded her familiar, as it unleashed a barrage bombardment of dark lightning blast attacks.

"What's this? The pet of Trigon?" Loki looked astonished and had a small cold sweat from seeing the three headed monster in all its glory. "Quite the frightening monster indeed, but no match for Fenrir."

"Heh, you know what? I actually missed the big guy." Bob smirked from seeing the Hydra, he couldn't believe he once battled that beast. Heck, he even lifted it.

Harry stared down at the restrained Fenrir, the wolf letting out pained yelps as it struggled to break free. Harry let out a light groan, he was a bit disappointed in himself that he couldn't defeat the beast on his own. He needed the help of Bob, and most of all have Vali divide its power. Harry couldn't possibly consider this a win. "Fenrir captured." Harry spoke through a commlink everyone shared.

The Hydra clashed with all the Midgardsormr clones, slamming their heads against each other, and the Hydra stabbed several of the clones in the head with its giant horns. Loki groaned, and then he whistled summoning Skoll and Hati to his side. "Skoll! Hati! Tear the flesh off those cretins who captured your father!" The two smaller versions of Fenrir howled and sprang into action.

However, forming in their path was a giant wall of dark energy. "No, you don't." Raven floated down before the sons of Fenrir. Her eyes glowing bright white as she stared down the growling sons of Fenrir. Raven's cloak expanded and spread like wings of darkness, unleashing her dark magic mixed with a blood red color that followed by the screams of monsters in Purgatory.

Skoll and Hati both backed up slightly, feeling intimidated in the face of Raven's magic. In fact, both Loki and Angrboda as well sweated at this sensation. "That girl… she reeks of Purgatory. A daughter of Trigon?" Angrboda mumbled to herself in awe.

"… And they claim me to be a danger?" Loki scoffed at the hypocrisy. All Factions alike knew the terror and danger of the Lord of Purgatory, Trigon. And here one of the monster's children stood as a reincarnated Devil.

Raven reeled her arms backwards, and then quickly swung them forward, unleashing multiple hands of darkness reaching out from her cloak. The hand soared towards the two sons of Fenrir, who both howled before springing into action. Sinking their fangs into Raven's magic, and tearing through the fabric of the darkness. Skoll and Hati's fangs may not be as deadly as their fathers, but they were still capable of even killing Gods.

Skoll and Hati rapidly chewed Raven's attack's apart, the witch groaned in frustration as the two wolves continued to advance at her. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Channeling her magic through her hands, Raven unleased rays of black magic that slashed through the ground itself. Sensing the danger of the rays, Skoll and Hati split each running their own lap to flank Raven, and both wolves ran on the air itself. Raven dragged her arms sideways, dragging the rays of darkness with her. With the deadly rays she split apart entire lava rivers and cut down volcanos.

Skoll was the first to reach Raven, roaring as it slashed its claws at Raven. Raven cried out in pain as her back was slashed. Hati followed up with another slash at Raven's thigh. Raven growled in frustration, grinding her teeth. Her magic instantly closing up the wounds, and making it look like she wasn't even scratched in the first place.

Raven held her dominant arm out, gathering waves of darkness into her hand right before thrusting the darkness forward. The darkness being unleashed like a cannon of pure energy, the energy clashed into the two wolves. Small whimpers came from them as they were enveloped by the darkness. Raven quickly moved her hands together, making the blast of energy to form itself into a black sphere. One could hear the two wolves scratch and attack the sphere from within. Shakingly as if she met some form of resistance, Raven slammed her hands together causing the sphere to implode in a brilliant explosion that shook the entire battlefield.

Out from the burning smoke, two pair of yellow gleaming eyes stared back at Raven. Skoll and Hati growled as they walked out from the fire, relatively unharmed. "Stay down already!" Raven hissed in annoyance, the persistence of Skoll and Hati along with their relentless attacks were getting on Raven's nerves. Raven fired off waves of darkness that took the shape of a pair of giant black hawks. The hawks soared through the heavens, and sunk their talons into Skoll and Hati and lifted them up into the air.

Skoll and Hati didn't seem bothered, as they easily turned the tables on the hawks, running around in the sky with the hawks stuck on their backs. The wolf brothers shook off the hawks and chewed them to pieces. Skoll and Hati then rush towards their chained father, ignoring Raven for now.

"No!" Raven's voice echoed as she enclosed both wolves in spheres of darkness. Only for their God slaying fangs to tear right through the obstacle. "Can't you even hold down two oversized dogs? Pathetic." A distorted voice taunts Raven within her own mind. It felt like Trigon, but at the same time it wasn't. "Shut up…" Raven hisses underneath her breath, as she hoists the wolves into the air with a blast attack from underneath preventing them from reaching their father. "Too weak." The voice continued as Skoll and Hati easily shook off the blast, and ran in a circling spiral downwards towards their chained father Fenrir.

"Too weak, and too scared to embrace your own power." The distorted voice tauntingly laughed at Raven. "Shut up! Enough!" Raven snapped, her eyes glowing red with another pair growing on her forehead. Her skin turned crimson red. "Hngh!" Raven's voice sounded distorted and demonic, as she unleashed new waves of darkness mixed with a blood red aura. Lifting her hands up as if she was about to grab something, Raven clenched her hands as the waves of darkness mimicked her by turning into giant long clawed hands that grabbed the two wolves.

Skoll and Hati growled in anger and began chewing into Raven's magic. But this time, their fangs could not tear through the fabric of her magic. "Good… Good." The voice praised her, as Raven bore a wicked crazed grin on her face.

The waves of darkness expanded into multiple tentacles that circled around with the tip aimed for the trapped Skoll and Hati. "Bad dogs…!" Raven smiled and snarled as she crossed her arms. And all that was heard was the sound of tearing and groaning of flesh and bone, and blood rained down from above followed by pained whimpers from Skoll and Hati.

"Skoll… Hati…" Even Loki sounded disturbed as he saw his grandsons get disemboweled in a brutal fashion. Guts and blood rain down from the torn bodies of Skoll and Hati, and floating down between them was the crazed looking Raven.

"Well done child, now for everyone else." The voice praised Raven, who expanded her cloak this time unleashing intense waves of darkness threating to swallow the entire realm.

"Raven!" Itachi calls out her name, to which the witch quickly gasps. Raven managing to snap out of it at the very last second, as the darkness died down.

Raven looks at the bodies of Skoll and Hati. Disturbed at her own actions, Raven shies away and hides her face underneath her hood. "I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay." Raven keeps repeating to herself as she floats down to the ground. "He can't get me here. He can't get me here." Taking long deep breaths, Raven continues to remind herself that her father is trapped in Purgatory, and that he can't hurt her or her friends here.

Fenrir while trapped growls as he looks at his dismembered and mangled children. Howling to the heavens as he struggles to break free, but to no avail. The wolf's blood lust growing stronger by the second whilst trapped in these chains.

"My baby…" Angrboda charged towards her restrained first born son, only to be brought to a halt as a wave of destruction is blasted towards her. Angrboda clicks her tongue, and smacks the blast away with her staff. "Devil filth!" Angrboda snarls as surrounding her are Rias, Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno.

"Sorry, but we cannot risk you freeing that monster." Rias' apology held nothing but sarcasm, as with a flick of her fingers she created hundreds of tiny spheres of destruction.

"That red crimson hair… yes, you are from the Gremory family. The same bloodline to spawn Sirzechs Lucifer." Angrboda acknowledged Rias' presence and tapped her staff into the air around them, creating a swirl of fire that pierces through the clouds and is powered by the lava from bellow. "Age of Odin is over, for when the sun rises Ragnarök shall begin. And the curtains fall on Asgard in a burning display. But before that, the same burning fire of Muspelheim that shall burn Asgard down, shall burn away you devils."

The burning swirl of fire, blew up into steam as a soaring water serpent dragon flew alongside the spiraling fire. The water dragon danced around Sona who pointed her rapier sword at Angrboda. "Then I'll just extinguish that fire." With a thrust of her blade, the water dragon charged at Angrboda.

A snake slithered around Angrboda's arm, holding the snake to her face Angrboda blew some pink smoke from her lips. And thus, the ordinary sized snake, grew into the size of a dragon and hissed at the water dragon. "I am Angrboda, Mother of all Monsters. A dark witch. Do not think your ordinary demonic power will be enough to stand against me!" The giant snake hissed as it charged right at Sona and Rias.

A slash echoed as the serpent's head was in an instant cut off, and its killer jumped onto its back as the body started to collapse. Tsubaki ran down at super speed down the snakes back, and when she was in range of Angrboda she thrusted her Naginata forward. Angrboda groaned as she was quick to form a defensive barrier of magic circles around herself. "Ugh!" Angrboda grunted as her barrier was hit from behind by a spear made out of lightning. As Akeno attacked from above, unleashing a violent torrent of thunder raining down onto Angrboda.

"This is… The thunder of a Fallen Angel? A Fallen Angel who became a Devil? My dear your entire existence is one big irony." Angrboda taunted Akeno as she held her staff in both hands, focusing a lot of power into it. Ancient Norse runes unknown to Rias, Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno, formed into giant triple layered magic circles that were directed to the sky above.

Thinking herself safe in her barrier, Angrboda began chanting in ancient Norse tongue, as she was summoning forth something. Rias however, wasn't keen on waiting for her to finish. Gathering a giant soft ball sized Destruction sphere into her palm, Rias flew at Angrboda and thrusted the sphere forward. Angrboda gasped as the blast unleashed from the sphere, enveloped her entire barrier. Angrboda looked surprised, as the front of her barrier where Rias had blasted from cracked. Before she could finish her chant, Angrboda was blown out from the other side of her barrier.

Covered in small burns and bruises, Angrboda hissed in pain as she flew backwards. Rias, Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki however quickly took chase, not about to let Loki's lover get away.

Raising her staff, Angrboda had the lava lake bellow come to life in the form of a giant beast. The beast spewed out magma onto the flying devils. Sona quickly attempted to counter it with a giant water cannon blast. Steam clouded their vision, giving Angrboda room to act and began her chant once more.

"Crap! She's at it again!" Rias cursed as she heard the whispering sound of Angrboda's chants coming somewhere within the steam cloud. "Akeno, clear some of this out for us!" Rias called out to her Queen.

"Right away!" Akeno lifted her arm up, pointing her finger into the heavens. The clouds rumbled and darkened. A bolt of thunder rained down into Akeno's finger, focusing the surging energy currently running through her body, Akeno redirected the thunder bolt down below to the center of the steam. The thunder bolt exploded, and the shock from the explosion made the steam cloud part away.

The nasty lava monster came into sight, as it swung its clawed gooey arm at them from bellow. Rias unleashed a destruction blast into the beast, causing its body to blow up. "Huh?" Rias gasped seeing the lava monster splitting itself into thousands of miniature human sized lava monsters.

"I must admit, the sister of Sirzechs Lucifer is quite powerful. But I cannot afford to play around with you lot." Angrboda smirked as all the thousands of lava monsters, spewed out waves of magma to the heavens at the flying devils. While Rias, Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki flew around like flies, dodging the incoming waves of magma, Angrboda continued her chanting.

Dark clouds had gathered into a Columbus cloud, forming right above the layered Norse magic circles. "Jotnar Champion." A giant foot came crashing down through the Columbus cloud. Falling out from a giant portal, was a massive Jotunn, that made the rest of the Jotnar look like humans in comparison. The colossal giant wielded a sword, that he pierced through the ground and dragged towards the flying Rias, Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki. They all quickly parted away, and began fending for their lives attacking the colossal giant.

Angrboda taking advantage of this opportunity flew to her chained up son. Guarding Fenrir were Bikou and Arthur, Bikou seeing the incoming Angrboda extended his Bo staff and swung it at Angrboda. The Mother of all Monsters however, summoned forth an armada of giant serpents. The snakes slithered and tore through the landscape as they charged at Bikou and Arthur. "Ah, crap!" Bikou cursed as he and Arthur with his Excalibur began slicing and bashing in the heads of the giant serpents.

"My poor baby." Angrboda spoke like a mother speaking to her infant, as she comfortingly stroked the restrained Fenrir's snout. With a mere wave of her staff, the Gleipnir chains holding Fenrir came lose. "Dark elf magic, huh? Seems Loki and I have a stop to make after Asgard."

Fenrir stood strong as it broke free from the chains, and howled to the heavens. Standing defensively before his mother, Fenrir barred his fangs at Arthur and Bikou. The bawling laughter of Loki taunted the failure of Vali and his team in keeping Fenrir chained up. "Now that Fenrir is free once more, you lot have sealed your own fate!"

Angrboda looked at the Gleipnir chains laying on the ground. "Time to destroy these troublesome chains." Angrboda's eyes glowed orange as she began casting a spell. When suddenly a blinding blast of light hit both her, and Fenrir launching mother and son flying away a few feet. The chains wrapped around the arm of the Angel of Death, Amon.

"Yo, took ya long enough." Bikou casually greeted his comrade.

"In case you haven't noticed, we're surrounded by an army of giants and lava monsters. I had my hands full." Amon gave a little cheeky grin at his two friends. It seems the gloomy Fallen Angel had at least bonded with his new teammates.

"How many you've taken down so far?" Bikou stretched his back a little using his staff, leaning his upper body sideways back and forth.

"Oh, roughly around twenty, maybe twenty-five. A lot of them were piled together so it wasn't easy to tell." Amon casually shrugged at Bikou who seemed a bit pale.

"Ah, shit, I'm falling behind!" Bikou pouted like a child.

"You two are a bunch of children." Arthur sighed, and summoned forth his trusted Caliburn, the Ultimate Holy Sword.

"You say that, but at the end of the day when we tally our scores you always pitch in your number." Amon pointed out with a slight taunting look in his eye.

"Yeah, the only times you remain quiet and pouty is when you know your number of kills are shit." Bikou cackled out loudly, causing Arthur to twitch his brow a bit.

"Enough about that. Let's say… killing Angrboda will result in 10 points. And Fenrir 50 points. Sound good?" Arthur was quick to change to the subject.

"Heh, works for me!" Bikou spun his staff around performing a few tricks as he stared down Angrboda and Fenrir.

"Well, it would give you guys a chance to catch up. And I'm all for good sportsmanship." Amon created a sword made out of pure light. The sheer size of the blade was ridiculous reaching nearly at 10 feet.

Loki smirked with glee as he spun his chained hooked blades around, the spiraling chains taking on the full blunt force of Issei's Dragon Shot. The energy of Issei's blast moved through the chains, all the way to the other end. "Trickster's Ballade." Now spinning the other end of his blade, Loki redirected Issei's Dragon Shot right towards Vali as the blast shot out from the spinning chains.

"Divide! Half Dimension!" Vali's entire Scale Mail armor unleashed sonic waves of energy that weakened the blast as well as making it smaller. Vali with ease slapped the incoming blast aside, sending it hurdling into a lava lake. Vali soared at Loki moving in a zigzag pattern, as he aimed to attack Loki from behind.

The Trickster God easily predicted Vali's pattern, creating a defense magic circle out of Nordic Runes. Vali however didn't yield, as he was well formed a magic circle composed of ancient Nordic Runes. "Huh?" Loki raised his brow, as Vali's elbow strike broke through his barrier and banged Loki in the back of his head. Loki grunted and swung his chained hooked blades around, spinning one end around Vali's wings locking them tight. Loki heaved Vali with his Godlike strength and body slammed Vali right into Issei.

The two Heavenly Dragons hurled through the air, and crashed into Tannin knocking the Dragon King over. "Old man Tannin! You okay?!" Issei asked his mentor who seemed to shake away the pain.

"I'm fine. I should have expected as much from a God." Tannin groaned as he steadied himself back up, shrinking into his human size. "I can't be too big of a target for him, those chains of his are really troublesome."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Even an idiot like me can tell, this is an opponent I can't beat." Issei had to admit this was beyond anything they had faced so far. Loki made Shalba look weak in comparison. Issei thought to himself. 'So, this is a God?'

"It's exciting, isn't it?" Vali however snickered, as he fixed his armor of any damage in an instant. "Perhaps now you can understand me a little bit, Hyoudou Issei?"

"… That you are a battle maniac? I knew that from day one." Issei gave a light chuckle as he as well fixed his damaged armor. Issei also understood why Vali sought out strong foes, it made him stronger. Fighting insane leveled opponents made Vali grow stronger. "Anyone seen Saji? Is he okay?" Issei asked as he noticed the Dragon from the Student Council was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm sure the host of Vritra is fine. He's probably waiting for his moment to strike." Vali said so casually, as he remained more focused on Loki. 'With Fenrir broken free… I hope those three can manage fine without me for a bit.' Vali was however concerned for his team.

"Since the dawn of time, Gods have always been superior to Devil kind, with a few wild cards like Super Devils such as Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub being born every now and then. Some Dragons would reach the realm of Gods, like the Legendary Heavenly Dragons. Beings like Ophis and Great Red who are said to have been around since before the beginning of time, I can accept. Heck, I can even accept that monster Trigon. What I cannot accept, is two measly Dragons thinking they can trespass into our domain of power. That is why I shall crush you pathetic Dragons of Legend here and now!"

Vali sent Loki a glare that gave Issei chills. "You want to face the full power of the Heavenly Dragons? So be it." As Vali began chanting quietly, all the jewels on his armor began letting out a rainbow mix of colors, and his armor glowed in a chilling aura. "I, who am about to awaken."

"They are going to get blasted away! They certainly are going to get blasted away!" The remaining thoughts of previous wielders of Divine Dividing echo around Vali.

"Am the Heavenly Dragon who lost all to the principles of supremacy." Vali continued his chant, and the voices continued to echo. "The dream will end! The illusion will begin!" Vali gripped his fists together tightly. "I envy the infinite and I pursue the dream." The echoes got louder. "Everything! Yes, give us everything!"

"I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy. And I shall take you to the limits of innocence! Juggernaut Drive!" Vali is surrounded in a bright flash of white light, as his body starts to alter its shape. He grew taller, bigger, went from resembling a human to a dragon.

'If I remember correctly, Azazel-sensei said Vali could use Juggernaut Drive by substituting his Demonic power for his life force. I am envious that my rival can use such a power without consequence. But if I use it, I will drain away my life force.' Issei could tell his Balance Breaker state was not enough to even contend with Loki. But with the power of Juggernaut Drive, maybe he could. If only Issei didn't go berserk in using it.

"Hyoudou Issei, I have something here that could help you… Although know it carries a risk." Vali as if he could read Issei's mind, could tell Issei was envious of his advantage in Juggernaut Drive.

"… Whatever the risk, if it helps us crush this bastard count me in." Issei was tired of being weak, if Vali had a solution for him, he would gladly take it.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." A black snake slithered out from Vali's armor, and towards Issei who flinched as the snake slithered up his leg. "One of Ophis' snakes… it will boost your power both physically and mentally. With its power you could use it to substitute your life force when using Juggernaut Drive. The only risk is of course, once its power fades… You will be on your own."

Issei looked at the snake as it slithered along his back with its head coming to view over his shoulder. "Are you sure this will even work?"

"I asked Ophis for it, she made some adjustments. I was planning on using it for myself, in case I needed to use this form longer against Fenrir. But it seems, Loki is more troublesome than I had originally thought. And as much as I hate to admit it, even in this state I alone cannot beat Loki. Besides, the God asked for our best, I say we give it to him." Vali declared as his boosters ignited and he took a giant leap at Loki.

Issei looked to the snake, and swallowed down a nervous lump in his throat. "Okay then… do what you got to do." The snake slithered to the inside of Issei's armor, and instantly he felt a major boost in power. His Demonic Power was off the charts. "I, who am about to awaken. Am the Heavenly Dragon who has stolen the principles of domination from God!" Issei began chanting, as his armor's jewels all glowed in a rainbow mix of colors, with his armor glowing in a mighty green aura. "I laugh at the infinite, and I fret over the dream! I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination! And I shall sink you to the depths of crimson Purgatory!"

"Issei! No, you mustn't!" Azazel noticing the intense aura from Issei, instantly looked to be on full alarm. They couldn't afford another rampaging beast around here.

"Issei! Stop!" Rias commanded, remembering how things went last time Issei entered Juggernaut Drive.

"Issei!" Xenovia without wasting a single second, flew right over to Issei without any concern for her own safety.

"Xenovia, don't!" Rias tried to stop her knight from getting too close knowing the possible danger.

"Dammit it all." Itachi curses underneath his breath, and flies away from several Jotnar and towards Issei. Already entering his Assault Mode, ready to take Issei down quickly before he can boost his power up.

"Juggernaut Drive!" A bright flash of green light exploded around Issei, and his body altered its shape into that of a miniature dragon. The giant form of Issei was huffing, and puffing its breath, like it was trying to stabilize itself.

"Issei…" Xenovia landed behind the tall red armored monster form of Issei. Despite that he went berserk last time. Xenovia showed no fear, and calmly walked up to the heavy breathing armored mini dragon. Placing her hand onto its ankle. "Are you still here with us?"

"Argh…! My head stings!" Issei's groaning echoing voice comes from within the armor, much to Xenovia's relief as she smiles with some tears forming in her eyes. "I'm okay guys… for now anyway." Issei quickly assured. Itachi landed right behind Issei and Xenovia.

"He's okay…" Xenovia looked to Itachi with a smile.

Itachi looked amazed at the fact Issei was still conscious. "Issei… how are you in control right now?" Was it perhaps due to the absence of Raynare's spirit? Whatever it was, Issei seemed hesitant to share it.

"Vali showed me a… neat trick is all. Anyway, got to go!" Issei ignited his boosters, knowing he didn't have time to waste as the borrowed power from Ophis' snake was depleting. 'I reckon I got roughly around… 5 minutes to help Vali take Loki down. If only I could manage to use that damn hammer it would have been helpful. Oh well, this is plan B I guess!'

"I should help them." Itachi was about to take off after Vali and Issei to fight Loki, but then the howling of Fenrir reached his ears. Taking a quick look back, Itachi noticed the wolf violently attacking Amon, Arthur and Bikou who were all on retreat from the wolf.

"They are the Two Heavenly Dragons… I'm sure they can handle Loki. Senpai, you have a bigger wolf to deal with." Xenovia declared as she swung Durandal at a group of Lava monsters, the intense power of the holy sword erasing them in one swing.

"…" Itachi looked between Fenrir, and Loki, now also noticing Tannin flew in to help Issei and Vali. "I suppose you are right." Itachi had to agree with Xenovia, and quickly took off towards Fenrir.

The God Loki fearlessly stared down the three Dragons flying towards him. "The power of a Dragon King, and the Two Heavenly Dragons versus a God of Asgard. Now this should be fun!" Loki's chains danced around him, stretching over a wide ranged area.

"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Explosion!" Issei unleashed a war cry, as he was the first to charge in for the attack. Loki with a mere pull of his hands tightened his chains, so they came crashing down around the charging Issei, binding him.

"Fools always fall for simple traps, don't they?" Loki chuckled while taunting the Red Dragon Emperor.

"Tell me about it!" The helm of Issei's Juggernaut Drive armor opened its jaws, and fired off a blast attack directly at Loki. The Trickster God gasped as the green blast enveloped his entire being.

Loki grunted in slight pain, but there were no injuries on his body. "Insolent welp!" Loki groaned but felt a heavy sharp pain in his back, as Vali came in with an elbow drop.

"Together!" Tannin reeled his head back, charging up a giant fire blast. And Vali and Issei both did the same as the jaws of their helms opened. Tannin unleashed a fire breath attack, while Vali unleashed a blue laser beam followed by Issei's green laser beam. The three blasts came together as they dropped onto Loki.

The power of the blast creating an explosion that shot to the heavens, while the tremor of the shockwave shook the entire area. Hot magma shot up like a geyser, as the explosion of the blast had broken through the molten rocky surface of Muspelheim.

Vali quickly rushed down. His wings spread wide as he generated vibrations of energy. "Divide!" Coming down to where Loki crashed, Vali pulled his arm back and slammed it into the smoke in a heavy hit. Loki groaned, and his eyes flew wide open as the magma cleared revealing a slight burnt Loki. "Huh?" Something didn't feel right, Vali didn't feel like he had absorbed any power from Loki. That is when he noticed the Loki that he had punched began looking distorted. "An illusion?!" Before Vali could shout a warning, a hooked blade attached to chain wrapped itself around his throat, and he was yanked backwards.

Loki floated out from the lava lake with a taunting smirk on his face, coated in a protective sphere of magic circles. "Did you think that was the real me? Aw, too bad!" Loki taunted as he yanked the chains further back, pulling Vali in his Juggernaut armor down. Loki then began spinning around, hoisting Vali's entire body off the ground and swung him like a wrecking ball towards Issei and Tannin.

Issei tried to catch Vali, but was smacked aside from the intense force of Loki's strength. "Ha!" Tannin swung his claw down, his entire arm coated in a blazing blade of fire. The fire claw cut through the chains, but through magic or some curse the chains attached themselves back together like magnets.

"Hehe, these chains were designed to trap Gods. A mere Dragon can never break free from it!" Loki swung the other end of his chains, and flung the second hooked blade putting it around Tannin's neck as well. Loki then swung his arms downwards in a cross, causing both Vali and Tannin to crash into each other. "Dance puppets, dance."

"A dragon can't, but what about a Holy Sword?! Ascalon!" A sword popped out from Issei's forearm gauntlet, and cut through both chains holding onto Vali and Tannin. Issei using his jet boosters, flew to the two Dragons and pulled them away and yanked the hooked blades off their necks.

"A Holy Sword?" Loki looked perplexed as he eyed Ascalon. Loki swung his arms up, making the chains move in a wave as they expanded and reattached the hooked blades back onto the chains. But no, not even a Holy Sword could destroy these chains.

"Boost! Transfer!" Issei transferred all his boosted power into the Ascalon blade, making the blade grow in size to match Issei's current size in his Juggernaut Drive. "Old man! Vali! You two okay?"

"We're fine, Hyoudou… Ascalon eh? Heh, well I would say you need every edge possible against me if we're going to fight one day." Vali moved his sore neck around a bit, looking intrigued by the future challenge the Dragon Slayer Holy Sword could bring him one day.

Loki pulled his arms up, dragging the dual wielded Hooked Chain Blades to his hands. 'First, he could lift a replica of Mjolnir… Without it rejecting his Devil side. And now he can wield a Holy Sword? Is that damn Dragon arm of his causing this immunity? Did the God of the Bible not anticipate the Devils would find ways to use his weapons through his own Sacred Gears? Or did he…? No, there is no point in thinking what that old geezer thought. Now that he is dead. I will just rid the world of these Dragons here and now.' Loki then began mumbling something underneath his breath, as he channeled Norse magic into his chains. Loki's Hooked Blades let out a bright glow.

"Get ready! He is planning something!" Vali warned as he, Issei and Tannin all stood on guard for whatever Loki was planning on throwing their way.

Little did they know, this was no ordinary attack. "BLINDR!" Loki finished his chant, and slammed his blades together which generated a blinding flash of light that burnt the three Dragons eyes.

All three of them quickly covered their eyes. Unable to see, and with a constant ringing in their ears purely from Loki hitting his blades together. Loki with a flick of his fingers, unleashed a hail rain of energy blasts onto the three dragons. Issei and Vali groaned as the blasts pierced through their Juggernaut Drive armor. While Tannin roared as it burnt through his scales and into his flesh. "Fall and be crushed!" Loki formed a magic circle, which unleashed a massive air cannon onto the three dragons.

"Urgh!" All three hit the ground, forming into one giant crater. Vali grunted and groaned, as the eye piece of his armor broke revealing his eyes glaring with a burning fury. "Divide!" Vali unleashed a sonar wave from his wings, and the air cannon lessened in its force and power. Vali rose to his feet, and gave a mighty earth-shattering roar that broke through the air cannon.

The sudden disruption of the air cannon caused Loki to reel his body away backwards in sudden shock. Vali rocketed at Loki, clashing the head of his helm into the Norse God's torso. Loki's face looked to be twisted with pain as Vali continued to soar higher. Vali reached his arms out, and grabbed onto Loki's arms preventing him from swinging the chains around. Vali then lifted his head to Loki, and unleashed a pointblank laser breath attack. A blue light enveloped the entire sky in a blinding explosion.

Vali growled like a feral beast, as once the smoke cleared, he proceeded to headbutt Loki. Loki grunted in anger, as blood trickled from his forehead and one of his jewel ornaments cracked. Loki then grabbed onto Vali's arms, and in a sudden contest of strength he began pushing Vali back. Loki overpowered Vali. "Divide!" Vali divided Loki's power, and managed to put up an even struggle. But it was not enough to overpower the God. "I would expect nothing less! From an Aesir God!" Judging by Vali's tone of voice, Loki could tell he was smiling underneath his helmet. "Divide! Divide! Divide!" Even as Loki's stolen power escaped from Vali's wings, the God's power too much for Vali's wings to contain, Vali still pushed on to weaken Loki.

'My strength… is fading…!' Loki grunted as veins even began popping around his temple showing just how much he struggled in this contest of strength. "Don't think you've gained the upper hand… Dragon!" Loki snarled as the hissing clones of Midgardsormr bit into Vali's armor.

"Ugh!" Vali grunted in pain, seeing the clones of the Dragon King were new, and came from underneath Loki's cloak. 'What's going on…?' Vali's vision began getting blurry, his head felt dizzy.

"Clones or not, they still possess the same lethal venom as my second son. This venom can even affect Thor. So, don't think yourself too special." Loki chuckled as the venom continued surging through Vali's body.

"Half Dimension!" Vali unleashed a surge of energy that shrunk the Midgardsormr clones, but it didn't lessen the effects of the poison. "Divide! Divide!" Even dividing didn't half the effects of the poison, Vali's strength was fading.

Loki yanked his arms back, a smirk plastered on his face as his power returned to him. Loki backhanded Vali, sending him plummeting into the ground bellow with Issei and Tannin. Loki looked at the Midgardsormr clones, as more continued to pour out from his body. "My strength has nearly fully returned. The Hakuryuukou's ability sure is the most troublesome out of you lot."

"Vali…" Issei looked at his downed rival in disbelief. Vali even lost his Juggernaut Drive armor, revealing his pale looking face. Vali was breathing heavily and sweating a lot from all the poison.

"The venom of Midgardsormr, is one of the strongest types of poison in the whole world capable of even killing Gods. Although these are mere clones of him, their fangs are still laced with the same poison." Tannin made it sound like there was no hope for Vali to survive.

"It's over." Loki announces as the hissing dozens of Midgardsormr clones circle around him, before pouncing towards Issei and Tannin. "Vritra Promotion!" A roaring voice echoed, as a gigantic wall of black fire suddenly shielded around Issei, Tannin and Vali. And the clones of Midgardsormr hissed in pain as they were caught ablaze in the black fire. "What?!" Loki questioned as a blue glowing line had suddenly attached itself to his left wrist. "Blaze Black Flare!" Black flames ran up the line, and burnt onto Loki who grunted in pain.

"What is this fire?!" Loki tried to use Norse magic to negate the black flames, but his magic circle broke before he could even make the attempt.

"Delete Field!" Saji stood at the top of a volcano, with a smirk plastered on his face as he reeled his arm backwards. Saji's Absorption Line then yanked Loki sending him flying directly into the volcano screaming.

"Took your time, Saji!" Issei's booster jets activated as he flew hovering over the volcano. Charging up a blast attack in the mouth of his helm, Issei unleashed a destructive beam that laid waste to the entire volcano that erupted one final time in a brilliant display of fire and destruction.

"Whoa! Give me a warning next time, Hyoudou!" Saji had managed to fly away just in time before the volcano erupted. "I had to wait for the perfect opening! Like Kaichou says, analyze your opponent and wait for the right time to strike!"

"Sorry! But at least we got him good!" Issei groaned as he felt a stabbing pain in his head. It was getting more difficult to keep control over his Juggernaut Drive. The snake Vali had given him from Ophis was nearly depleted in power as well. Soon this form would start shaving away at Issei's lifespan.

A hooked blade was flung out from the still burning rubble of the volcano, and attached itself to Saji's arm. Loki rose up from the fire, grunting and visibly angered. The black flames burning at his robe. "To think…" Loki disrobed revealing his bare upper body, his right arm looked badly burnt. "Another troublesome Dragon was waiting in hiding all this time… you should have stayed hidden!" Loki recreated his robe with a flick of his finger. And his burnt arm began healing itself.

"He was able to heal from my cursed flames?" Saji looked in disbelief.

"I am a God, boy! Do not underestimate me!" Loki yanked at his chain, pulling Saji towards him. Saji halted himself and reeled his own arm back, pulling Loki towards him. "Little punk!"

With Loki being held in place, Tannin saw an opening and unleashed his mightiest breath attack. The flames burnt across the entire heavens, and nearly roasted Saji alive. "Ouch! Ouch!" Saji cried in pain from this intense heat.

"Bear with it! Host of Vritra!" Tannin encouraged Saji, as he increased the firepower.

"You lot are really starting to annoy me!" Loki swung his second chain blade around the fire. The hooked blade, it was like it was collecting all of Tannin's fire. The flames were dragged towards Loki's chained hooked blade, collecting itself into a giant blazing ball of fire that resembled the sun itself. Loki continued then to pour his own magic into the chains, and the fire wrecking ball doubled in size and eclipsed even Tannin in his full-sized Dragon form.

As Loki and Saji were in a tug of war between Loki's chains and Saji's Absorption Line. Issei and Tannin aided Saji by trying and flank around and attack Loki. Loki however, saw it coming and started swinging around his chains, spinning the giant blazing fire wrecking ball around like it weighed nothing. Issei was sent flying as the fire wrecking ball clashed into him.

Loki swung the wrecking ball of fire upside Tannin's head. The Dragon King grunted and was then hit with an upper cut causing him to fly back a little. "Now get lost." Loki snarled as he slammed the entire wrecking ball of fire into Tannin, and the ball exploded into an earth-shattering explosion. Tannin fell out of the sky cloaked in fire, as the fire rained down like meteorites. The Dragon King crashed into the molten rocky surface, and dragged it up. "Ugh… Issei…" Tannin let out a small groan and called out to his student, before he passed out.

"Old man!" Issei having recovered from getting knocked away, rushed back into battle. 'Crap! I can feel I am running out of time…' Issei felt as if blood trickled down from his nose and ears. "Partner, you have 10 more seconds before Ophis' snake's power has been used up… Time to use your big finisher." Ddraig advised as it was the only option left for Issei. "Boost!" Boosting his power one final time, the chest crystal orb on his Juggernaut armor's chest plate began to glow bright green.

Issei flanked Loki from the side, while the God still struggled in his tug of war against Saji, as the Absorption Line continued to suck out his power. "Damn pest…!" Loki grunted as he yanked his chains, yet Saji stood his ground having flown down to the molten rocky surface of Muspelheim. Saji groaned as his feet sunk into the earth, and the magma underneath began floating up his ankles.

"Do it! Hyoudou!" Saji cried out as sweat poured down his face.

"What?!" Loki turned around and was met with a bright flash of green light.

"Longinus Smasher!" A loud "DOOOOM!" Sound echoed all around them, as it shattered through the sound barrier. Issei unleashed a massive destructive wave of energy that completely enveloped Loki. The sheer power of the blast made the air around them vibrate, the ground shook and volcanos erupted all around them, and the heavens were died in a green color.

A flashing red light fell to the ground in a thud, Issei sounded out of breath as his Juggernaut Drive armor peeled away. His time used up, Issei looked with tired eyes as he gazed up at the burning cloud of smoke where he had blasted Loki. The smoke started to clear, and a figure came into view. Loki looked on with an irritated look on his face, having used his forearm to shield his face from the blast. His forearm looked burnt, and his entire cloak was a burning mess. "Dammit… it wasn't enough…" Issei mumbled, unable to even stand, Issei gazed over at the downed Vali and began crawling towards his poisoned rival.

"That caught me off guard…" Loki admitted as steam began emitting from his body, healing his injuries and regenerating his burnt skin. "No matter, seems both the Dragons of legend are done for." Loki reveled in his victory, and yanked the chains that held onto Saji with both hands, and instantly Saji fell forward losing the tug of war.

Saji gasped as he was hoisted into the air, Loki then yanked Saji into his grasp, holding Saji up by his throat. "Now, you will remove this accursed line from my hand!" Loki strangled Saji, but the devil was resilient and spat in Loki's face.

"You don't scare me!" Saji declared, he personally found both Sona and Tsubaki a whole lot scarier.

Loki snarled and tightened his grip, choking Saji until he blacked out. "Dammit all!" Loki proceeded to drop Saji's unconscious body to the ground. Loki then coats his right hand in a sharp vibrating energy, as he proceeds to cut his left hand off. "Ugh!" Loki grunted in pain and his hand started to regrow. It still hurt Loki quite a bit, and drained his energy as well. With his hand regrown, Loki summoned his dual wielded Chained Hooked Blades to his hands.

Even with Saji unconscious, the clones of Midgardsormr were still burning in the black fire. Loki took notice of this, and instantly came to the conclusion he could not let those flames touch his skin. Looking around, Loki saw all the Dragons were down for the count. Saji was unconscious, Tannin was knocked out, Vali was poisoned and near death, and Issei was crawling away. "Heh, so much for the Dragons of legend." Leaving his defeated enemies, Loki went on to find new prey. While giants began moving in on the downed Dragons.

"Vali…" Issei groaned as he crawled over to Vali, who was slowing his breathing to halt the poison from spreading too quickly.

"Hyoudou Issei… seems we failed." Vali groaned.

"Not yet… we're still fighting." Issei reached into his blazer, grabbing a bottle. Azazel had given it to him prior to the battle. Issei pulled out and presented the bottle to Vali.

"Is that… Pheonix tears?" Vali had heard their group had a total of three bottles, he didn't expect Issei of all people to be entrusted one.

"Yeah, take it…" Issei despite being injured himself, and unable to move held the bottle out to Vali.

"… I am your mortal enemy. Why would you give it to me?" Vali couldn't understand what was currently going through Issei's mind.

"Because, you're stronger than me… the old man… and Saji. If I want to protect my friends… the best thing I can do right now, is to give it to someone who will be useful." Issei realizes that Vali is superior than him in every aspect when it comes to battle and power and right now their friends needed someone with power. That, and Vali's power would be perfect to weaken Fenrir and Loki.

Vali looked astonished at his destined rival's action. Perhaps he wasn't such a hopeless case after all? Vali's opinion of Issei changed a little, as he reached out for the bottle of Pheonix tears. Vali popped the bottle open, with his mouth open and tongue sticking out Vali caught the single drop. Vali's body was then surrounded in a warm orange like aura, he felt like he could breathe normally again as he was cured of the poison.

Vali stands up on his feet, and looks to the downed Issei who had fallen over closing his eyes with a smile on his face. "…" Vali was left speechless, until he heard the nearby roar seeing several Jotnar approaching him and the downed Tannin, Saji and Issei. Vali clenched his fists, as his body exploded in a pillar of a bright blue aura. "Dammit all!" Vali spread the white dragon wings of Albion, and flew charging towards the Jotnar. "I won't let you!" Vali declared as his body was enclosed in the Balance Breaker armor, Vali soared right at a Jotunn banging the giant across the face causing him to fall over. The Jotnar all opened their wide mouths, and unleashed a breath of fire onto Vali. "Divide!" Vali soared through the fire, as it danced on his armor briefly before getting snuffed out. Vali moving around like a beam of blue energy knocked back every Jotunn that tried to get past him.

Fenrir was going ballistic, and Bob held onto the wolf's neck in a chokehold, while pummeling its jaw with heavy hits that seemed to do nothing to the beast. Bikou even sat onto the beasts back, and continued to bang the top of its head with his staff, yet the beast didn't flinch and threw them both off easily.

Arthur engaged the wolf in a dual, his Holy Sword against the God Slaying wolf's claws. Fenrir was vicious like a feral beast in its attack, but Arthur was fast enough to react to each strike and parry them. Arthur remained on the defensive, continuing to back away each time Fenrir swung its deadly claws at him.

Harry with his body looking like solid steel, punched at the wolf causing it to flinch ever so slightly. It seemed to have recovered what strength it had lost from Vali's Dividing. Fenrir pounced on Harry, pinning the man down as it opened its jaws aiming for Harry's jugular. Harry groaned, as he held onto the mouth of the drooling blood thirsty beast.

"Atomic Blast!" Itachi in his Assault Mode charged with a condensed hydrogenic sphere of energy that he ignited with the fire of his Assault Mode. The blast shook Fenrir enough to knock him off Harry, and make it shake its head in pain. Fenrir barred his fangs at Itachi, as the two circled around each other. Two alphas fighting for the position of number one.

Harry and Bob stood with Itachi and stared down Fenrir. While Bikou, Arthur and Amon flanked it from behind. Amon wielding the Gleipnir chains, ready to bind the rabid God Slaying Wolf. Bob sighed as he put his hands up, going into a boxer stance. "Man, I miss my Warhammer…" Bob commented.

"Now!" Bikou called out as they all jumped Fenrir, however in a flash the wolf vanished from sight. "Argh!" Bikou cried in pain as he was carried off, with Fenrir having sunken his fangs into Bikou's abdomen.

"Bikou!" Amon rushed in and with his fist cloaked in light he gave Fenrir a right hook, the light from Amon's attack blinding the wolf as Amon grabbed onto its jaws trying to pry them open. Itachi knowing he cannot get too close with Amon like this, threw his Leviathan Blade at Fenrir, the sharp short sword stabbed into Fenrir's side causing it to howl in pain, opening its jaws so Amon could snatch Bikou out from Fenrir's mouth. Amon holding onto the bleeding Bikou took a leap backwards. "Oh shit, this is bad…" Amon commented seeing the fangs had pierced through Bikou's armor, and thick red blood was pumping out from the punctured wound.

"Heh, could you try and not look like that? Makes me think it's like, real bad dude…" Bikou groaned in pain with a weak smile on his pale looking face.

Bob rushed towards the injured monkey boy, but was intercepted by Fenrir. The angered wolf sinking his fangs into Bob's leg. "Son of a bitch!" Bob cried and with his other leg kicked Fenrir in the eye, yet it did nothing. Fenrir continued to chew on Bob's leg, tearing it up. Harry then drops his giant body onto Fenrir, grabbing a hold of its jaws.

"Release my comrade you foul beast!" Harry roared as with all his strength he pried Fenrir's fangs loose from Bob's leg. Itachi jumped in, summoning the Leviathan Blade back to his hand. The blade coated itself with lightning, as Itachi pointed it downwards and jumped down stabbing Fenrir once more.

Fenrir whimpered in pain, and shook both Harry and Itachi off. With its jaws, it ripped out the Leviathan blade and tossed it aside. Harry rushed at Fenrir and once again attempted to wrestle the giant wolf, but with its strength returned it easily pinned Harry down. 'The Leviathan Blade seems to be the most effective weapon against Fenrir… Could it be the spare parts used for the Mjolnir replica that it has such an effect?' Itachi pondered as he summoned the blade to him once more, and rushed to help Harry. Itachi noticed however, the previous stab wounds he had inflicted on the wolf, had long since healed and closed up.

Bob laid on the ground, holding onto his bleeding leg. Ripping off the leg of his pants, Bob used it to put pressure on his wound by tying a solid tight knot around his wound. "That should stop me from bleeding out…" Bob mumbled as he reached into his pocket, pulling out a bottle of Phoenix tears. Bob looked at his mangled looking leg, and then over to the injured Bikou who was bleeding out.

Bob picked himself up, and limped towards Amon, Arthur and Bikou. Arthur was a bit on guard, seems he didn't fully trust in their alliance. "Eh, here… use this." Bob held out the bottle of Phoenix tears.

"You sure bro…" Bikou coughed up blood. "You seem to be in pretty bad shape yourself… and we ain't exactly friends…"

"It is but a flesh wound." Bob said as he looked at his torn-up leg. "Now take it before I change my mind." Bob tossed the bottle to Amon. "Consider it thanks for saving Asia last time…" With that Amon gave a light nod, and opened the bottle pouring the tears onto Bikou's abdomen.

Bikou whimpered in pain, as the Phoenix tears did their magic and closed up his wound. "Ah, fuck that feels better. Sorry to worry you guys." Bikou apologized to Arthur and Amon.

"You better be sorry. I thought with your senjutsu skills you would be more sensitive to your surroundings. Damn monkey." Arthur scolded Bikou.

"Hehe, sorry, sorry, how about I treat you all to dinner later, eh?" Bikou tried to lighten the mood with his friends.

"Sure your wallet can handle Ophis-sama's appetite?" Amon joked, which Bikou didn't take lightly as his face paled.

"Don't say such things… I've already lost a lot of blood here. Don't make what I have left run cold now." Bikou felt like crying thinking of how empty his wallet was going to be.

"By the way, my darling little sister LeFay really likes wagyu beef." Arthur added.

"Where exactly do you expect me to take all of you, you damn siscon?!" Bikou exclaimed in shock.

Harry was tossed into the air by Fenrir, the old man was out of breath and covered in scratches that had all gone through his Haki and Balance Breaker flame armor. Itachi zoomed across the battlefield with Fenrir, using the enhanced fire power of his Assault Mode, Itachi bended the fire of Muspelheim to his will. Entire lava lakes rose into tsunami waves and swept away Fenrir at Itachi's command.

Fenrir however, swam through the lava, moving as fast as a shark in water Fenrir quickly closed the distance between himself and Itachi. Slamming his paw into Itachi launching him back several feet. Itachi groaned, feeling blood trickle down his broken nose. 'I just need to make eye contact with him…' Itachi focused his Sharingan, remaining on the defensive Itachi backed away from the ravaging Fenrir. But the wolf moved too fast for Itachi to have time focusing his illusions onto Fenrir.

Itachi had a few other ways on casting an illusion, unleashing his familiar of crows in order to perform the imperfected alternate genjutsu he had to Tsukuyomi. He hadn't had a need to use it since the battle against Trigon, but the danger of Fenrir rivaled that of Trigon. The wolf looked the at the flocking crows, and to Itachi's shock he pounced up and ripped the crows to shreds. As if Fenrir had seen through Itachi's play, or if through some wild instinct of bloodlust, Fenrir had ripped all the crows to shreds.

Itachi could only stare in shock as black feathers rained down around him, Fenrir blitzed Itachi and slashed him with his long claws. Itachi refocused, and flipped out the Leviathan Blade. The short sword gathering up intense amounts of lightning, as thunder rained down around them. But Fenrir predicting the thunder strikes, danced and moved around them.

The Leviathan Blade glowed, and Itachi flinched as he felt the blade speak to him. Itachi as the blade instructed, raised it into the heavens to which a bolt of thunder clashed into the blade. Following the pulsing instructions from the blade, Itachi swung it and generated an intense slash wave of thunder.

Fenrir growled at the attack, and ripped his fangs through it, although the wolf was caught off guard as the lightning all gathered in a bright flash and electrocuted the wolf. Fenrir's fangs are said to be able to tear through all the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil, yet this lightning from the Leviathan Blade bypassed its deadly fangs and dealt a blow to the wolf.

Itachi gaining some confidence from confirming his blade could fend of Fenrir, rushed directly in. Clashing the Leviathan Blade with Fenrir's claws and fangs, the wolf circling and trying to pounce at him. Itachi exited his Assault Mode, and instead cloaked himself in Lightning. "Touki: Speed Mode!" Moving faster than the speed of light, both Fenrir and Itachi zoomed across the landscape of Muspelheim. The force of their sheer movement parting away entire lava seas. Their clashes echoing in mighty shockwaves that tore at the land of Muspelheim.

Itachi knew however he was at the disadvantage, even in Speed Mode Fenrir was keeping up with him moving just as fast as Itachi was. If Fenrir even caught Itachi off guard for a single moment, it would be Itachi's last fatal mistake. The only way he could fend off Fenrir's deadly fangs were through the Leviathan Blade. Without it, Itachi concluded he would have been dead ten times over by now. 'I would expect nothing less. From a beast that has earned its spot amongst the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World.' Itachi credited Fenrir, who was especially dangerous in this bloodlust state Loki had put him in.

Kiba was on the retreat, the giant Jotnar stomped onto his blades like they were little more than annoying pebbles in the road. Using his Sword of Betrayer, Kiba launched himself at the head of one of the Jotunn. Slashing his Demonic holy sword at the giant, giving nothing but a light scratch on its cheek. The Jotunn swatted Kiba away like he was an annoying fly, smacking him straight into the ground.

Kiba groaned in pain, having a hard time breathing as the air got knocked out of him. The towering Jotunn raised his foot, and was about to squish Kiba like a bug. "Kiba-senpai!" Koneko came to the rescue, the tiny nekomata holding back the giant crushing weight of the Jotunn's foot with her Rook strength. Sweat trickled down Koneko's face as she buckled under the pressure a little. A white cat tail slid out from underneath her skirt, and white cat ears appeared at the top of her head. Koneko unleashed her Senjutsu energy, the ground of molten rock beneath her changed into giant spikes that pushed into the foot of the Jotunn.

"I got your back, Koneko-chan." Kiba stabbed his sword to the ground, and in a war cry he shouted. "Sword Birth!" Giant blades rose up from the ground, and along with the rocky spikes pushed back the Jotunn's foot.

"Face the destructive power of Durandal!" Xenovia jumped at the Jotunn, slashing Durandal down before it and generating an intense blast wave of destruction. The Jotunn groaned as he backed away from Kiba and Koneko, who took flight next to Xenovia.

"Holy Flash!" White feathers rained down around them, as Irina came flying in unleashing a blast of angelic light that blinded the Jotunn before them. "Now!" Irina together with Xenovia and Kiba slashed their blades at the Jotunn's neck. The destructive force of Durandal shattered the giant's bone, Kiba's blade slashed a gaping flesh wound in its neck, and Irina's sword unleashed a wave of light that slashed right through the neck, decapitating the Jotunn.

Koneko launched herself at another Jotunn, banging the giant with a right hook to its jaw. The Jotunn barely flinched and snarled as it glared at Koneko. Fire emerged from its mouth as it unleashed a breath attack at Koneko. Then walls of blue fire emerged before Koneko, as her older sister Kuroka held onto Koneko as she glared at the giant. "Keep your foul breath away from my Shirone." Kuroka snarled and unleashed a blast wave of heating blue fire that melted away the skin and flesh of the giant. Leaving his skull exposed, the dead giant fell over. "Are you okay, Shirone?" Kuroka instantly began tending to Koneko, checking her body for any kind of scratch or burns.

"I'm fine!" Koneko yanked herself out from Kuroka's embrace, and quickly sucker punched a third approaching Jotunn with such force she broke the giant's tooth.

In the middle of the chaos, was the colossal Jotnar Champion, ravaging through the battlefield. As Akeno, Tsubaki, Sona and Rias flew around it bombarding it with blast attacks. The giant looked annoyed, and let out an earth-shattering roar. The feral roar of the giant, caught the attention of the other Jotnar as they quickly turned around to aid their champion.

A pair of huge scaly feet then crashed into the head of one of the Jotunn, as the Hydra roared all its three heads unleashing bombarding blast attacks at the giants. Raven sat in a lotus position atop of her familiar's middle head, and unleashed waves of darkness that pushed back the Jotnar army. Yet the giants were resilient in their approach, and marched on through the blockade Raven and the Hydra had created

An aerial bombardment of blood crystals coated in the green aura of Beelzebub, rained down onto the giants. Once the crystals pierced into the body of a Jotunn, that part of their body began experiencing the process of advanced decay. Their muscles and flesh just crumbling away into dust. "That Shalba guy sure had some dangerous abilities." Eto cackled from the mouth of her Kakuja form, as she soared over the battlefield like an owl hunting for mice.

Little Jack created a giant sword befitting for one of the Jotunn to wield, yet her small tiny frame lifted it and she slashed at the giants cutting many of them down. Using her Rebellion Field. Jack had changed the weight of her blade, but also kept its full form and destructive power, so even someone as tiny as her could swing it like it weighed nothing.

And Damian mowed down various giants, his thins strings easily cutting through their dense thick fat and flesh and through their bones. Damian also formed his strings into raining drills that fired off like rapid gunfire, piercing through the Jotnar's skulls. Damian's aim, was to get to the Jotnar Champion at the center.

The Jotnar Champion swung around its colossal blade. The intense shockwaves generated from each swing, knocked Akeno out from the air. And its roars were like air cannons that obliterated Sona's water dragons. Tsubaki ran around the giant's body, thrusting her naginata at the Jotnar Champion's head. The giant cried out and cursed in pain, as Tsubaki cut off one of its ears. The champion swung his blade upwards, the sheer shockwave sending Tsubaki propelling into the air. As she was spinning, the Jotnar Champion unleashed a wave of ice from its mouth. His breath was so powerful, it even froze the nearby lava lake of Muspelheim. "Mirror Alice!" Tsubaki summoned forth her Sacred Gear, a giant mirror appeared before her, taking the full blunt force of the Jotnar Champion's ice breath attack. Once the attack was fully absorbed, the mirror shattered and the breath attack bounced back right into the face of the Jotnar Champion.

The Jotnar Champion roared in pain, the intense ice doubled in power as it froze his cheeks and nose. The Jotnar Champion growled and once again unleashed an air cannon of a roar, Tsubaki however weaved and dodged the air cannon which blasted into a heard of Jotnar sending many of them flying.

A Jotunn jumped at Tsubaki from behind, wielding a giant battle axe the giant let out a war cry. Tsubaki turned her steel ice cold glare at the Jotunn, and thrusted her naginata forward at it. The sheer force of her thrust, unleashed a powerful air cannon that blew a giant boulder sized hole in the Jotunn's chest. The shredding force of Tsubaki's air cannon, having shredded the Jotunn's heart to pieces.

Kiba and Xenovia both gasp in awe, Tsubaki so easily killed one Jotunn without any effort. While it took the combined effort of Kiba, Xenovia and Irina to kill but one earlier. And then she so easily went on to slaughter many other approaching giants. Her naginata thrusting through the Jotunn's skulls, and cutting their throats open. "She is a fearsome woman…" Xenovia comments with a nervous smile.

"Yeah…" Kiba nods in agreement.

The Jotnar Champion roared at Rias, who countered with a destruction blast that she rammed down its throat. The Jotnar Champion gasped and backed away, as the blast burnt its throat and mouth. It swung its blade at Rias, who effortlessly caught it like it weighed nothing. And with a gripping force of her destruction aura, she shattered the blade into nothingness.

Using this as his momentum, Damian leapt in and ensnared the Jotnar Champion's neck with his strings. Damian leapt over the colossal giant, tightening the hold of the strings, adding with the effect of Rias' destruction attack still burning in its throat. The monster could not breathe, its eyes turned bloodshot and looked as if they were about to pop out of the champion's skull. "Fall down you big bastard!" Damian groaned as he yanked his arms backwards, and then blood erupted out from various cuts in the giant's neck. Followed by the howling blast of Rias destruction attack within its throat leaking out. And Damian pulled down the giant Jotunn that towered over entire mountains, a Jotunn whose head pierced through the clouds themselves.

The giant died, as the destruction blast incinerated its brain from within, and burnt through its eyeballs as the destruction aura blasted out from its now empty eye sockets. Damian gave a quick whistle of warning, and took flight along with Jack, Ravan and the Hydra. Kiba, Xenovia, Kuroka, Koneko and Irina all quickly flew away as the Jotnar Champion's body fell over, and under its crushing weight it crushed several Jotnar.

Azazel threw down a gigantic light spear straight through a Jotunn, then with a flick of his finger the Governor detonated the light spear taking out a whole bunch of Jotnar with the explosion. "Heh, been a long time since we fought side by side like this, Baraqiel." Azazel commented, as Baraqiel slammed his fist down sending a massive thunder blast raining down onto the Jotnar.

"Yes… although last time was when…" Baraqiel sounded a bit saddened, as the last time he fought together with Azazel was when his wife died.

Azazel looking remorseful looked away from Baraqiel. 'Sorry, old friend… I still haven't forgiven myself for selfishly calling for you that day. Had I not been so reckless, you would have been there with your family that day… And Akeno wouldn't have had to lose her mother.' Azazel didn't dare say this out loud, he knew that Baraqiel knew he felt guilty over what happened. Azazel also knew Baraqiel didn't blame Azazel, but rather blamed himself for his own weakness. "Sorry for saying such unnecessary things old friend." Azazel lightly commented, and Baraqiel gave a mere grunt and nod of understanding.

Rossweisse creating a giant wall of magic circles held off a whole army of Jotnar. "You foul creatures and the enemy of my people! In the name of the Valkyrie and Asgard I shall strike you all down!" Rossweisse unleashed a series of magical blasts that completely enveloped the entire horde of Jotnar.

"You say that, yet the Jotnar are the source of all Gods in Asgard." A beam shot down from the sky and struck Rossweisse. The Valkyrie managed just in time to make a defense magic circle, but was still pushed to the ground.

"Loki!" Rossweisse snarled at the Trickster God.

"It's true, Odin was born from a Jotunn. And Thor's mother is also Jotunn. But I get it, it is a matter of power, right? Odin's rule versus the rule of the Jotnar. Which in this case, I suppose would be Odin's rule versus my rule." Loki chuckled.

"I thought Tannin was handling him…" Baraqiel commented.

"Oh yeah, the Dragon King… And the three Devils hosting the other dragons… none of them are doing so good at the moment I would say." Loki casually added, and Azazel's face was stricken with horror.

'He beat Tannin, Vali, Issei and Saji all at once?' Azazel clenched his fists, he knew firsthand how strong Vali was, and he had trained both Issei and Saji to master their Sacred Gears to a certain degree. And Tannin was a former Dragon King.

"Oi, what's with that look, Governor of the Fallen Angels? It shouldn't really come as a surprise. Like those mere Devil Dragon hosts and one Dragon King could ever beat a God." Loki said with a smug look on his face.

"… Well, then I suppose we'll just have to take you down." Azazel held out the golden dagger. The purple crystal orb at the handle glowed in an ominous purple glow, as Azazel's body exploded in an intense aura. "Down Fall Dragon Balance Breaker: Azazel~" Azazel was suddenly cladded in a golden Dragon armor. His Golden armor was a mirror replica of Vali's Scale Mail armor. Azazel then summoned a two-pronged light spear to his hand and floats before Loki.

"What's this? You have a Sacred Gear now?" Loki looks unimpressed, having already bested both Issei and Vali in their Juggernaut Drive forms.

"Well, it is my hobby to create Artificial Sacred Gear. So, I made one with the soul of the Dragon King Fafnir." Azazel replied as he readied himself for combat.

"You think yourself like the God of the Bible now? Creating these accursed weapons." Loki taunted as he summoned forth his Dual-Wield Chain Hook Blades.

"Nah, the old man's ways are completely different from my own. For one, I can't really access Fafnir's power. But I can use this armor to increase my defense and offense abilities." Azazel didn't bother playing it cool, and instead just with a flick of his fingers unleashed a barrage fire of a thousand light spears.

Loki snarled and swung around his chained hook blades, deflecting each and every light spear Azazel shot in his direction. "Mere weapons of the servants of a God! Can never beat a God in combat!" Loki declared, as Azazel suddenly blitzed his field of vision and attacked with his two-pronged light spear. Loki deflected and parried Azazel's strikes as they soared through the heavens.

Loki unleashed an intense fury of lightning attacks raining down towards Azazel. But all the bolts bounced off of Azazel's defense magic circle that barricaded around his armor. "Ho~ You are able to hold off my Norse magic, eh?" Loki smirked with delight.

Baraqiel quickly went into action, raising his fist to the heavens and then heavily slammed it to the ground. Baraqiel unleashed a mighty blast of thunder raining down onto Loki's head. Baraqiel looked in disbelief, as Loki shrugged off the lightning like nothing. "Yes, that was quite the stun attack there…" Loki looked at Baraqiel from the corner of his eye with a sly smirk.

Azazel rushed in, thrusting his light spear rapidly forwards at Loki. Azazel moved so fast he created flashing images of a thousand light spears flying towards Loki's face. Loki easily countered however, by merely spinning around one of his chained hooked blades. The light of Azazel's spear was seen bouncing off the spinning turbine that was Loki's chains. Baraqiel rushed at Loki from his left, and threw a heavy lightning coated punch. Loki caught Baraqiel's kick, but the bulky Fallen Angel was quite nimble as he lifted his whole body up and coated his leg with lightning, delivering a swift dropkick upside Loki's head.

The shockwave of the impact caused Loki to lean forward, but the God quickly recovered and launched Baraqiel away with a spin kick to his solar plexus. Azazel jumped over Loki, and swung his two-pronged light spear down onto Loki. The trickster God however faded away in a mist. "Did you think that was the real me?" Loki appeared behind Azazel and blasted him away with an energy blast. Azazel fell into the lava river, parting away the magma as he quickly recovered and flew back out.

Rossweisse charges head on at Loki, delivering a spin kick that Loki blocks with his forearm. Using Norse enhancement spells, Rossweisse delivered a wind fury of intense blows. Rossweisse's sheer strength caused shockwaves to erupt every time her fists connected with Loki. Loki swung his blade up in an upper cut, but Rossweisse tilting her upper body dodged the edge of the blade. Wrapping her legs around Loki's forearm, Rossweisse hoisted herself up onto Loki's shoulders, and put Loki in a headlock between her thighs, while also restraining one his arms.

Loki let out annoyed grunts as he struggled to break free, while Rossweisse tried to choke him out with her thighs. "As expected, Odin has trained you battle maidens in combat!" Loki unleashed a shriek creating a pulse of energy that blew Rossweisse off him. Moving swiftly, Loki jabbed two of his fingers into Rossweisse's left shoulder joint, sending a pulse of energy through the battle maiden's body. "Urgh!" Rossweisse groaned as she was unable to move her left arm. Loki smirked and backhanded Rossweisse sending her crashing to the ground.

Rossweisse looked at her numb arm, seeing a magic circle with Norse inscription writing on them. "A binding spell?" Rossweisse pushed onto the pressure point of her left shoulder joint, hearing a loud snap she groaned as she finally could move her left arm.

"My, so you knew that one?" Loki laughed as he floated over Rossweisse, Azazel came in like a flash of light and slashed Loki with his spear. "Heh, shouldn't expect anything less from the Governor of the Fallen Angels." Loki snorted seeing a cut on his cheek, although it quickly healed.

Azazel continued to clash with Loki, as they moved around with their weapons. Flashes of light and fire glimmered like stars on the night sky. Loki using the flames of Muspelheim to enhance his chain hook blades, and Azazel moving at the speed of light with his Scale Mail armor.

Baraqiel in the meantime, took the time to charge up a full powered lightning blast. Intense volts of electricity gathered in both of his hands. Thunder raining down into his hands, enhancing the size of the charging blast. 'Just need to wait for the right moment to strike…' Baraqiel with this blast could easily defeat a Satan Class Devil, time to see how it fared against a God.

Azazel led Loki like it was a dance, making sure the Trickster God was in the right place at the right time. Azazel unleashed a series of Light Spears raining down onto Loki. "This trick again?!" Loki smirked moving his chains around at super speed, as they appeared as mere fiery flashes as they clashed with the intense barrage of light spears.

'Now!' Azazel thought as he had perfectly positioned Loki, Azazel backed up a few feet not to get caught in the blast.

"Holy Lightning: Wrath of God!" Baraqiel thrusted his arms forward, unleashing a bolt of lightning so large it could envelop an entire Jotunn.

Loki a bit sensitive to the sound of thunder, instantly noticed Baraqiel's attack. Moving one of his chained hook blades, Loki span it around as the chains caught the full blast of the lightning blast that rang out in a "DOOM!" sound. Having fended off Azazel's assault, Loki smiled as the power of Baraqiel's lightning blast surged through the chains.

Loki smirked spinning the other end of the chains towards Baraqiel, about to redirect the blast back with double the impact. But then, Loki's sensitive hearing caught another sound of thunder. Looking from the corner of his eye, Loki spotted a woman with a devil wing and a fallen angel wing. Loki locked his sights on Akeno, seeing her using the same type of lightning as Baraqiel and quickly connected the dots. With a wicked smirk, Loki moved his aim over to Akeno.

Baraqiel gasped at seeing this, especially seeing the volts of electricity charging up from Loki's spinning chains. "Akeno!" Baraqiel quickly flew in the path of his daughter.

Akeno flinched at hearing her father, as she looked to the side, she gasped seeing Loki unleashing a blast of thunder towards her. She could not escape it. It was too fast for her. But then she saw her father coming flying before her. "Dad!" Akeno's cries were drowned out by the sound of the lightning clashing into Baraqiel's back, and from her father crying out in pain.

'I swear… I won't let anyone hurt you… I did it, Shuri, I protected our treasure.' Baraqiel's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he collapsed into Akeno's waiting arms.

"Dad! Hang in there! Dad!" Akeno looked in full panic seeing the badly burn on her father's back. It would leave a nasty scar on her father's body for sure, if he survived it that is.

"Damn you!" Azazel enraged headbutted Loki, and started throwing heavy punches into Loki without any care. The intense feeling of guilt in Azazel, fueled his anger as he continued to bang Loki in the face with his punches.

"Losing your cool there? Governor." Loki caught Azazel's fist, and slammed a heavy magical infused hit to the core of Azazel's Scale Mail armor. And a cobweb of cracks erupted all across Azazel's armor.

Azazel gritted his teeth, keeping the armor together Azazel thrusted the two-pronged light spear through Loki's abdomen. Loki grunted as he backed up with the light spear stuck in his abdomen. Azazel then flicked his finger causing it to detonate while in Loki. "Argh!" Loki cried out in pain as he fell down from the sky.

Rossweisse rushed at Loki, grabbing him by the throat and dragging him across the molten rocky surface of Muspelheim. Rossweisse threw magical enhanced punches into Loki's face, yet the God barely flinched. "Insect!" Loki thrusted his palm into Rossweisse's chest, knocking the air out of her and launching her up a few feet from the ground.

Blood dripped from Rossweisse's lip, and she quickly regained her composure and created thousands of various Norse magic circles around her, each generating various attack spells. With a thrust of her fist, Rossweisse unleashed a magical bombardment onto Loki.

"I commend you for your vast arsenal of spells, Valkyrie. But there are certain things only known to Aesir Gods." Loki threw his chains up, and yanked them down so his blades pierced through Rossweisse's shoulders. Loki then began a chant, and his chains were caught ablaze, burning Rossweisse.

'Hot! What is this? Is Loki absorbing power from Muspelheim?!' Rossweisse thought amidst the intense burning pain.

Loki laughed as he swung Rossweisse around like a ragdoll, slamming her into rocks and mountains. Only when the Valkyrie had lost consciousness, did Loki release her from his binds. Letting Rossweisse's bloodied and burnt body roll around in the dirt.

"That so far makes two Dragon Kings, two Dragons of Legend, one Fallen Angel leader, and a battle maiden. Want to be added to that list yourself, Governor?" Loki taunted Azazel.

"Bastard!" Azazel snarled. But before he could attack, Loki lowered his chains causing Azazel to halt and remain on guard for whatever the Trickster God had in store. Loki slowly waved his body and chains around, his chains swinging around in a hypnotic dance. "Draumr." Loki said, and in that instant Azazel's vision began looking blurry.

The Governor stepped backwards, holding his dominant hand to his head. "What's happening… to me?" Azazel questioned as suddenly it was as if his entire body was stabbed with light spears. Azazel couldn't focus, all the sound around him had been drowned out by the sound of Loki's taunting laughter. Azazel could only stare at Loki, as the God moved his chained hook blades, and cut off Azazel's arms, and then his legs. Azazel cried out in intense pain, seeing blood escape from his severed limbs.

"You were once a mere servant of the God of the Bible. Don't think that puts you on the level of us Aesir Gods." Loki taunted as he used his blades to rip Azazel apart bit by bit. Azazel unable to escape could only cry out in pain. Loki then jumped at Azazel and dropkicked him in the chest, and Azazel's Scale Mail armor broke, as did the illusion.

Azazel was gasping for air, seeing his arms and legs were still intact, but he had the fight knocked out of him. 'He used an illusion on me? Shit, I let my guard down…' Azazel cursed.

Susano'o while surrounded by dozens of Jotnar, looked from the corner of his eye seeing Azazel get blown out from his armor by Loki. And Baraqiel and Rossweisse were already down for the count. Gazing around, Susano'o saw Issei, Tannin, Saji were down for the count as well showing no signs of waking up after having been beaten by Loki. Vali even valiantly stood between the downed Tannin, Issei, Saji and an army of Jotnar trying to finish them off. Koneko, Kiba, Xenovia and Irina were also way too injured to continue fighting, they could barely stand. And they only had one Pheonix tear to spare.

Itachi was reaching his limit against Fenrir, losing his footing Itachi was lucky enough to be met with a paw strike from Fenrir, rather than the beast's fangs. Itachi was flung into a horde of Jotnar, panting and out of breath the Sitri heir stared down the towering Jotnar.

Susano'o closed his eyes, inhaled and let out a long exhale of his breath. The Jotnar about to jump him. Susano'o stood calmly, his eyes shooting wide open and lightning bursting around him incinerating the dozens of Jotnar around him in a flash. Susano'o moved like a blinding blur, bouncing around like a bolt of lightning while everything around him appeared to move in slow motion. No, it was as if time itself had frozen like a photograph.

Susano'o first moved over to Issei and Saji, picking both over his shoulders. Whilst also swinging his blade at the army of Jotnar attacking Vali. Susano'o then slashed the air itself, creating a dimensional rift. Susano'o while holding onto Issei and Saji jumped into the rift and they found themselves in the Yggdrasil tree. With no time to waste, Susano'o moved like a blurring lightning bolt. Soaring through the branches of Yggdrasil, and all the way to the branch that led into Svartalfheim.

Susano'o exhaled as he slashed the air, cutting a rift into Svartalfheim. Moving in like a flash of light. Susano'o dropped off Issei and Saji by Asia, Gasper, Momo, and Reya who like all the others appeared to be frozen in time. Susano'o then jumped back through the rift leading to Yggdrasil, and razed back to Muspelheim. As he got to Muspelheim, Susano'o picked up the shrunken human sized form of Tannin. In an instant he had carried the Dragon King to Svartalfheim, and moved back to Muspelheim picking up Irina and Xenovia. Then going back to bring Kiba and Koneko back to Svartalfheim.

Making his final run to Muspelheim for Azazel, Baraqiel and Rossweisse. As he got there, Susano'o noticed time had slightly begun to move, the Jotnar he slashed that were attacking Vali were starting to show blood coming from their wounds. And Loki held his hand out to finish Azazel. Susano'o grabbed Rossweisse who was the closest, leapt up to grab Azazel and while at it, Susano'o sliced off three of Loki's fingers on his right hand. Susano'o sheeted his blade, grabbed Azazel and then Baraqiel. Holding all three of them, he rushed to the rift at maximum speed. Susano'o jumped through the rift, and moved up along Yggdrasil.

From Asia's point of view, she had just blinked and when she opened her eyes again. Issei, Saji, Tannin, Koneko, Kiba, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse, Baraqiel and Azazel-sensei laid before her. "Eh?" Asia and everyone else let out a surprised gasp. Asia snapped out of it, once she saw the injured Issei groan. "Issei-san! Everyone! Hang on, we'll heal you all at once! Organize them by the seriousness of their injuries!" Asia instructed the rest, who all nodded and began to work. None noticing the rift left by Susano'o and his sword closing.

Susano'o jumped back into Muspelheim just in time, exhaling his breath, time moved again. The Jotnar attacking Vali cried out as they were all cut down in an instant. And Loki recoiled his hand back, crying in pain as he noticed his right hand was missing three fingers. "The hell just happened?!" Loki cried out in agony. His eyes vibrating and ears ringing from the shock of losing three of his fingers. Loki looked at his hand that was stained red with his own blood. "Who did this?! Where is the Fallen Angel Governor?!"

Said Governor laid on his back in Svartalfheim, wheezing from his punctured lung. But still carried a smirk on his face as he chuckled. "Heh, quite the God alright." Azazel had to commend Susano'o, his speed was something else.

Loki was foaming from his mouth, his eyes scanning the area seeing Azazel, Rossweisse and Baraqiel were not the only ones missing. In the blink of an eye, 10 people had vanished from the battle. In the blink of an eye, Loki had lost more than half of his Jotnar army and three of his fingers. What is more, Loki noticed he could not regenerate his lost fingers. This delay in Loki's regeneration means he was cut by a Divine Weapon. Only one person sprung to Loki's mind as the only suspect. "Susano'o!" Loki glared over at the Shinto Storm God, who looked like he was in the middle of catching his breath.

"Sheesh, running from realm to realm is quite the workout." Susano'o smirked as he wiped some sweat from his brow. "Now then, you lot that remain listen up!" Susano'o announced, as the one with most experience left on the battlefield, he officially took charge as the head of this operation. "Leave Fenrir and most of these giants to me, the rest of you take down Loki, Angrboda and whichever giant I miss, understood?!" Itachi, the Sins, Team Vali, Rias, Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno who were the only ones left all responded with a. "Yes sir!"

Susano'o drew out his blade, and stared down the blood lusted Fenrir and the army of Jotnar behind him. "Guess scratching you behind the ear isn't going to cut it this time, huh buddy?" Susano'o asked the growling drooling wolf, it longed for the taste of a God. "Very well then."

"Ha! You wish to leave me to these Devil children? And a child terrorist faction?! Don't make me laugh! I defeated both the Legendary Heavenly Dragons, two Dragon Kings, the Fallen Angel Governor and one of his generals, not to mention that Valkyrie! What more do you have to offer?!" Loki taunts and answering his question, is a blade that soars right by his head, cutting Loki's cheek.

Loki looks in disbelief, he reaches his good hand to his face. He touched something wet, thick and warm. Slowly looking down on his hand, he saw it red with blood. "Who dare attack a God?!" Loki snarls as he turns around, his eyes landing on one lone devil. A young devil boy, surrounded by the corpses of Jotnar.

"I dare, you puny petty God." Itachi coldly stared down Loki, who glared at him with hatred and contempt. Itachi held his hand out, and thus the Leviathan blade flew out from the ground and came spinning back towards Loki's head. Loki quickly ducked, but had his fiery long silver hair cut a bit at the top. Loki hissed as he saw the blade return into Itachi's grasp. 'Alright dwarves…' Itachi smirked as it seemed the dwarves had designed him a top-notch weapon.

"And who are you? To dare and challenge me?" Loki floated down before Itachi.

"I am the young Devil who like you, has also beaten the Two Legendary Heavenly Dragons in combat. Whilst both, used Juggernaut Drive. I am the young devil who leads the Seven Deadly Sins. I am Itachi Sitri." Itachi pointed the Leviathan Blade at Loki, the bright shining metal vibrating with intense waves of power. Itachi's eyes flashed red as he activated his Sharingan.

Loki raised his brow at seeing those strange eyes. "Itachi Sitri? Ah, I remember you now. You are that Devil boy that was able to keep up with Fenrir's speed." Loki chuckled barely even recalling Itachi from their previous encounter in Japan. "But you claim to have bested the Two Heavenly Dragons in the past?" Loki cracked a smirk as he summoned forth his chained hooked blades. "Interesting."

'Better not hold anything back… Besides, with this environment, the consequences of using my Frost Demon Mode should not apply.' Itachi thought taking in consideration the intense heat of Muspelheim, to counter the frost bite effect his Frost Demon Mode had on his body. Itachi's body burst to life with the fiery Touki aura, and Loki appearing intrigued allowed Itachi to power up.

"No Devil other than Sirzechs Lucifer has ever bested a God. I shall allow you to struggle with all your might, and die trying your best young one." Loki taunted, seeming confident at his odds in this fight.

Itachi's Touki aura then begins to grow cold, as it bursts to life in the form of ice and snow. A stormy ice blizzard encloses their surroundings, and spreads over a large portion of Muspelheim. At this Loki tenses up a bit, he felt cold.

The entire battleground was frozen over in ice, the magma, lava and active volcanos were all frozen solid in ice. Odin watches from Svartalfheim and looks in awe at what he was seeing. "Unbelievable… such a frightening Demonic Power. Itachi Sitri just froze a large part of Muspelheim into ice… He enclosed a whole land area at the size of Japan itself in ice. And all just from transforming, I know only of Serafall Leviathan's Celsius Cross Trigger technique that is capable of such a feat. But that requires Serafall to focus a great deal of her power into making. What Itachi just did is the same equivalent as for one to flex their own muscles." Odin mumbled to himself. It would seem Itachi has gone way beyond Serafall's level.

Back in the frozen Japan sized area of Muspelheim, Loki looked around in slight awe. But still wasn't faced. "Heh, my, my… yes, I can see now. Your claim in defeating the Two Heavenly Dragons hold some truth to it." Loki smirked as he took in the sight of Itachi in all his glory. In his Frost Demon Mode, Itachi's head was crowned with an ice crown, and his body cladded in ice armor with shoulder pads and armored gauntlets.

This was Itachi's strongest form, but its biggest drawback was that the freezing cold aura released from this form gives Itachi frost bite. Eventually Itachi's body would become immobile, usually that is. Itachi can usually stay in this form for a total of 20 minutes before he falls to the drawback effects.

"I must thank you though. With this new atmosphere, I can bring in my reinforcements." Loki snapped his fingers, and thus multiple new dimensional rifts opened up. And coming out, were more giants only that they looked frozen with their pale white and blue skin. "A 150 Ice Jotnar. Go ballistic boys." The ice giants surrounded the Sins, Team Vali, Rias, Sona, Tsubaki and Akeno.

"Alright then, you heard him. Go ballistic." Itachi spoke to his peerage over the coms, and upon hearing that the Sins gained a smirk on their faces.

"Promotion Queen!" Bob and Damian's auras blew up, gathering intense shockwaves that even pushed some giants away. Kuroka activated her Touki aura, as she used the now surrounding ice to her advantage and altered the landscape to her liking. Creating giant ice spiky mountains to pierce into some giants. Harry in his Balance Breaker armor activated Haki on top of it. Harry looked around seeing the ice melting around him specifically. "Hmph, impudent ice." Harry huffed a bit seeing as he couldn't undo what Itachi's transformation had caused.

"Balance Breaker: Rebellion Field." Jack coated herself in a black aura, and her eyes glowed red as her aura imploded into sphere of energy that span over a wide area. Raven floated onto her Hydra, coating the three headed beast in armor. "Good boy." Raven patted the middle head, and the Hydra purred like a feline to its mistress.

Then there was Eto, who was happily skipping on her toes through a field of dead Jotnar. Snacking on their flesh. "So many new flavors~" She happily giggled as she made her way over near where Itachi and Loki were. "But I smell something even better." Eto reached down, and quickly snatched something up in her grasp. "Now then…" Eto's eyes trailed over to the side, seeing the giant muscly redhaired Angrboda raise her staff that generated a lot of energy. "Monster lady is mine, everyone else back the fuck off." Eto declared as she made her way towards Angrboda.

The monster Jotunn witch, had summoned forth an army of monsters. The army consisted of giant grizzly bears, wolves, lynxes and wolverines. "Is this where the monster party's at?" Eto sang in a sweet childlike voice as she came to view of Angrboda. "I would say me being invited is a guarantee, wouldn't you?" Eto looked up with her Ghoul eye shining bright red.

Upon laying eyes on Eto's Ghoul eye, the Jotunn woman visibly cringed in disgust. "A half breed Ghoul. To think humanity would sink so low, to breed with your kind. Your kind are worse than monsters." Angrboda expressed her dislike for Ghouls, much to Eto's enjoyment as she giggled.

"Wow, thank you for the compliment." Eto casually brushed off Angrboda's disgust, after all she was used to such reactions. "They call you mother of all monsters in Norse mythology after all. I was hoping for some motherly love from you~" Eto declared to which Angrboda frowned upon in disgust.

"My children are the ones destined to slay Odin and his prized son Thor. So, I pride myself on all my children. So, don't you dare put my babies in the same category as you damn Ghouls." Angrboda glared down at Eto from above, as her aura of pure vile darkness clouded the air.

"Aha, and here I was hoping to experience some motherly love for the first time." Eto's mind trailed off to the distant memory of her own mother, who had died shortly after she was born. 'After all, how else would I know if that was real motherly love.' Eto's Kakuja came to life as flesh and bone morphed itself around her, taking the form of a twenty-meter-long owl beast with giant torn wings. "Let's have a real battle between two monster women then instead." Eto cackled.

Loki began floating up into the air, as he and Itachi continued to stare each other down. Itachi held a tight grip onto his Leviathan Blade, as lightning began flickering around it. Loki held one of his arms out to the side, and began spinning his chained hook blade. "Ha!" Loki chucked the hook blade at Itachi, who threw his Leviathan blade right back.

The Leviathan Blade and the Chained Hook Blade clashed midair, generating intense volts of electricity. Itachi used this opportunity to take a giant leap towards Loki, once he had jumped past their clashing weapons, Itachi held his hand out and summoned the Leviathan blade to his grip. Loki looked alarmed as Itachi swung the blade down in a slash at Loki, who was quick to bring his chains up to catch the blade. Lightning exploded around them from the blade, it was then Loki felt a strange sense of nostalgia. 'This sword… has pieces of Mjolnir in it?!' Loki groaned as he pulled on his chains, summoning the hook blade that was stuck midair swinging back towards him.

The hook blade came spinning aiming for the back of Itachi's head, and then it pierced through the Sitri heir's skull. Loki smirked although then looked with a perplexed expression as Itachi's body exploded into a murder of crows. The birds soaring around him in a circular formation.

"An illusion?" Loki quickly held his hook blades together, and clanged them together creating a disruptive rift of energy around him. The crows vanished, as he broke through the illusion. Loki chucked one of his blades behind him, clashing together with the Leviathan Blade once more as Itachi attempted to get up behind him. "Close one-" As Loki was about to start taunting Itachi, the Sitri heir threw his body over their clashing weapons and dropkicked Loki in the face.

Loki tumbled and flipped backwards, as the force of the kick had broken his nose. "Son of a…!" Loki cursed, holding his hand to his bleeding nose. "Quite the nimble guy, aren't you?!" Loki snarled as he swung his chains around. The spinning hook blades swinging with such power. That the sheer friction of their swings caused explosions to rock the sky like a firework show. Loki swung the chains at Itachi, before they even touched Itachi's blade an explosion blew up in the Sitri heir's face.

Itachi stepped back out from the black smoke of the explosion. Hearing the sounds of rattling chains, Itachi jumps around as the chains come flying out of the smoke at him like snakes. Several explosions following in their path. Itachi parries off the chains with his Leviathan Blade. Itachi is forced to fall back, as Loki's Dual-Chained Hooks span across a wide ranged area, cutting apart entire mountains. And the mere intense power of their swings created frictions in the air that created powerful explosions that rocked the entire land.

Itachi with a flick of his fingers, used the power of his Frost Demon Mode to manipulate the water in the clouds of Muspelheim. Magic circles carrying the Sitri family crest formed in the heavens, and out rained down a hail storm of giant skyscraper sized ice crystals raining down onto Loki.

"Logi!" Loki fuses his Norse fire magic into his chains, as he gives them a mighty swing the Trickster God generated stormy winds and created giant flaming twisters. The flaming twisters sucked in, and tore apart the giant skyscraper sized ice crystals raining down from the heavens, as well as tore up the entire terrain and even melted some of Itachi's ice. "What will you do now? Little brat!" Loki charged at Itachi, his Dual-Chained Hooks clashing with Itachi's Leviathan blade as the two of them zoomed across the landscape at light speed.

Loki's Dual-Chained Hooks carry the power to control hurricanes, and Loki made a hurricane appear right bellow Itachi. The giant twister blew the Sitri heir into the sky. Itachi groaned and struggled to keep his eyes open from this intense wind. Loki then by merely clanking his hooks together, created a spark that caught the entire hurricane twister ablaze in flames.

Itachi resisted the heat with the cooling powers of his Frost Demon Mode, but his skin was still burnt, and the twister kept knocking him around within it like a ragdoll.

Itachi's ears perked up, feeling as if the Leviathan Blade instructed him in a move. Trusting in his weapon, Itachi infused the blade with the thunder of his Speed Mode, the water of his Defense Mode, and the ice of his Frost Demon Mode. With a mere swing of the blade, Itachi conjured up an entire thunder storm, and created giant tsunami waves and blizzard storms. Loki's fire twisters were frozen into giant ice mountains, or put out by the intense tsunami waves. With this blade, Itachi had the power to annihilate an entire small country in a couple of swings. "Those dwarves sure make some dangerous weapons…" Itachi looked awestruck at the destruction to the land scape. The tsunami waves clashed into the lava, and together they created new landmasses. The blizzard brought the chilling breeze of Jotunheim. The thunder brought rain clouds.

Itachi looks at the rain clouds, and to the ground bellow him and Loki which was still infested with Jotnar. These beasts were used to the inhospitable realm of Jotunheim, they weren't bothered by the tsunami waves, blizzards and thunderstorms. "Let's see…" Itachi put his focus into his Demonic Power, manipulating the moisture within the rain clouds formed over Muspelheim.

"Going to make it rain ice again, are we?" Loki wasn't about to let Itachi continue. Loki tossed his Dual-Chained Hooks at Itachi. But Itachi used his shuriken skills to toss the Leviathan Blade so it pierced through the gaps of the chains and nailed Loki's weapon into a mountain side. Which had Loki in disbelief at the accuracy.

Itachi held his dominant arm out, and closed his eyes as he manipulated the moisture in the rain clouds. Particular the ones over Loki. And rain started pouring down from the clouds. Loki looked perplexed. This couldn't be what Itachi was after? Loki looked up at the rain drops that continued to drench him. Then suddenly, Loki felt his skin burn. "What in Helheim is this?" Loki continued to feel the burning pain, seeing the rain even burnt through his cloak. Loki groaned and in a mighty battle cry unleashed his Divine aura that pushed the rain away from him. "What did you do?!"

"Guess." Itachi smiled as with a flick of his fingers, a giant serpent water dragon emerged out from the clouds. Only it looked slightly lime greenish in color. The dragon swopped down onto Loki, clamping its jaws onto the Trickster God.

'It burns!' Loki groaned in pain, the entire water in this dragon burnt his skin. 'Wait, this… is acid?!' Loki looked in disbelief, Itachi had manipulated the pH's levels of the water in the rain clouds to transform the water into acid.

"Sitri Secret Art: Acid Dragon." Itachi seized the acid rain, in case any of his comrades got caught in it. Itachi instead focused his full attention into the acid dragon that had caught Loki. The acid dragon began looking unstable, Loki was unleashing the full force of his Divine aura to disrupt the flow of the dragon. Itachi tried his best to keep it together, but in the end Loki's war cry broke through and caused the acid dragon to implode and splatter across the battlefield.

Loki yanks his chains off the mountain, and thus also flings the Leviathan Blade away. But Itachi is quick to summon the blade back to his hand. These dwarves made quite convenient weapons.Loki then quickly blitzes Itachi's field of vision, and stabs his hook blades through Itachi's abdomen. Loki is covered in burns, and his skin looks bright red from all the acid burns. "I'm impressed, no mere High-class Devil has ever pushed me this far! I acknowledge that you are strong, but you are still far away from ever beating a God!" Loki spin kicks Itachi across the face sending Itachi plummeting down.

Loki throws his Dual-Chained Hooks at Itachi, the blades latching onto Itachi's back as Loki pours his fire magic through the chains and burn Itachi. Loki then proceeds to swing Itachi around like a ragdoll, banging him into mountains and the into the dirt. Itachi tastes the blood in his mouth, he fights through the pain and yanks the chains out from his back, which caused Loki to raise his brow. Itachi then pulled the chains and yanked Loki down to him, and then slugged the arrogant God across the face.

"And you haven't beaten me yet either, all mighty God." Itachi's voice dripped with sarcasm at that last part.

Loki dragged his finger across his lip, seeing it stained red with blood. "That I have not." Loki admitted with a smirk, but still seemed quite confident in his odds. "Blindr!" Loki slammed his hooks together, creating a blinding flash of light that burned Itachi's eyes.

Itachi groaned as he shielded his eyes from this blinding light. Loki taunted him with laughter as he slashed Itachi's body all over with the chained hooks. Itachi focused on his senses, his hearing, picking up the sound of rattling chains moving around and getting closer. 'Caught you!' Itachi held his hand out and grabbed onto one of the hooks, feeling where the chain went by pulling onto it. "Frost Spear!" Turning his body around, while blind Itachi launched a giant spear of ice sending it flying at Loki.

Loki looked in disbelief, and barely avoided the giant spear of ice that flew past his head. 'He found me?' Loki looked in disbelief, he had never meet anyone with such battle reflexes and heighten senses since Heimdall. However, then Loki noticed the spear had stopped midair next to him. "Hydrogen Bomb Decoy." Itachi clenched his fist, to which the giant ice spear next to Loki blew up in a giant huge explosion that created a burning cloud. By manipulating the hydrogen and the oxygen in the water of the frozen spear, Itachi was able to create a burning cloud of an explosion at the size of a large blimp. The shockwaves of the explosion blew across the entire battlefield.

The Sins, Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki all shielded their eyes as the intense shockwaves reached them and the Jotnar army. Susano'o as well looked rather impressed as he let out a long sounding whistle. "Quite impressive indeed… Still no sign of what sis is looking for though." Susano'o mumbled to himself, setting an ominous tone. What was this sign Amaterasu wanted Susano'o to be on the lookout for?

Loki fell out from the burning cloud, having shielded himself in a barrier. Although by the looks of it, he had suffered some burns from the blast before he managed to set up the barrier. "Clever… not only did you catch me off guard by finding me despite the blinding light of Blindr. But you attacked me first with a decoy to hide your true counter attack. However, these burns are nothing…" Loki said as his entire body healed from all injuries, except those caused by the Leviathan Blade and he was still missing the three fingers Susano'o had cut off. "My turn." Loki crossed his arms together, and his Dual-Chained Hooks danced around Itachi creating a sphere of chains around him.

Itachi looked around, seeing he was trapped within Loki's cage. Loki then unleashed a barrage of his hooked blades flying around within the sphere, slashing and cutting into Itachi. Itachi's ice armor turned into water. "Touki: Defense Mode!" The hooked blades slowed down within Itachi's water armor, unable to fully reach Itachi's body shielded underneath, and just bounced right off. 'The defensive capability of my defense mode rivals that of the Uchiha clan's Susano'o ability. Not as good as the Yata Mirror, but it still gets the job done.' Whilst shielding himself from the endless barrage of blades, Itachi analyzed the situation trying to find a gap for him to exploit.

Itachi seeing the pattern the chains moved in, with his Sharingan memorized every single gap that appeared every 30 second or so. He shortened his range to where Loki was standing and found at least six gaps for Itachi to exploit. Itachi holds the Leviathan Blade, thunder surging through the blade, merged with the water of his Defense Mode. Itachi saw the gap, and tossed the blade and it soared like a bolt of lightning. The blade flew out between the gap, and stabbed Loki in his torso. This disrupted Loki's focus, so Itachi could rush himself through the gap.

Itachi clashed into Loki, and grabbed onto his Leviathan Blade. Loki however pulled his hook blades back, sending them spinning stabbing into Itachi's back. Having merged the blades with the flames of his Norse magic, it managed to penetrate Itachi's Defense Mode. Itachi yanked the blades out from his back, and kicked Loki in his chest to gain some distance between them.

Itachi quickly went back into his Frost Demon mode, sending a chilling sensation with his aura that turned the battlefield of Muspelheim into a winter wonderland. Loki chuckled as he eyed Itachi, seeing the Sitri heir covered in cuts and bloody gashes. "This is getting rather troublesome… so let's end this." Loki swayed his body back and forth, and his chains danced around him in slow motion. "Draumr." The hypnotic swings of Loki's chains caught Itachi's focus.

Itachi widened his eyes, feeling like various blades had stabbed into his body, restraining him. Itachi saw chains snaring themselves around his body like snakes, preventing him from using magic and demonic power. But Itachi's eyes saw through it all, he glanced over at Loki and smirked. And quickly their roles were reversed and Loki was the one bound in chains with various blades stabbed through his body. "Illusions on that level does not work on me." Itachi declared, having used his Sharingan to reflect Loki's illusion right back at him. Although Loki's illusion was powerful, it did trap someone like Azazel after all. Itachi was just too experienced when it came to genjutsu, and rarely any type of genjutsu would affect him. The only one Itachi could think of that would affect him would be Shisui Uchiha's genjutsu Kotoamatsukami.

Loki had cold sweat running down his forehead, he was the Trickster God. Known for trickery such as illusions and fire. Loki felt rage at this humiliation. "You have pissed me off… but I have to admit I am impressed." Loki using his Dual-Chained Hooks tore through the illusion and broke free as well. "So, you can handle illusions, eh? Well, let's just see… how you are with poison."

Loki smirked, as slithering out from underneath his coat, were giant serpent dragons. 'These are my last clones of Midgardsormr… oh well, all I need is for one of them to poison him.' Loki declared as eight clones of Midgardsormr slithered out from his coat.

Itachi had to appreciate the irony. He was instantly reminded of Orochimaru's Eight Headed Serpent jutsu. Only this time, he didn't have the Susano'o. 'Oh well, I won't need it.' Itachi readied his Leviathan Blade, and powered up his Frost Demon Mode. The freezing temperature Itachi's aura released was enough to freeze magma into solid ice, but the coldblooded clones of the Dragon King didn't even flinch in the face of it.

The drooling jaws of the Midgardsormr clones opened up, as they all hissed and charged right at Itachi. Itachi titled his body aside to avoid the first head, and instantly sliced it off using the Leviathan Blade. As the second clone came slithering in, Itachi jumped over its head as it closed its jaws, spreading its poisonous saliva everywhere. Itachi then decapitated the second clone as well.

'Two down, six to go.' Itachi rushed at the six remaining clones, weaving and dodging their attacks and cutting off the head of the third one, then the fourth and the fifth at once. The three remaining charged all at once, one going for Itachi's front, the other the back and the third from bellow.

Itachi jumped over the one charging from behind, placing his palm onto its snout, before bouncing off it and slashing off its head. The second one nearly got him with its fangs as it scratched against his ice armor, but Itachi quickly beheaded it as well. And that left just one, the one that came swopping up from bellow rose over Itachi standing right over him with its jaws open. Itachi didn't have time to aim for the neck, so he stabbed it from underneath its jaw and through its snout, sealing its mouth shut.

Itachi stared up at the last Midgardsormr clone, although its saliva dripped down from its closed jaw. And one drop fell right on Itachi's right eye. Instantly Itachi's eye turns bloodshot, and cries out tears of blood like if he was going to use the Amaterasu. Itachi pulled his arm back, and recoiled backwards, holding his hand to his face, feeling it going numb already from the poison. The clone of Midgardsormr was still alive, and charged but this time Itachi managed to behead the last beast.

"Numbing, isn't it? The Hakuryuukou was paralyzed almost instantly. Although he was bitten directly. For you it will be a slow and painful process I am afraid." Loki taunted as he blitzed Itachi and stabbed him with the hook blades.

Itachi groaned in pain, as both his eyes now cried tears of blood. Loki had stabbed both his hook blades through Itachi's abdomen, and hoisted the young Sitri heir's body up. "If the poison doesn't kill you first. You will bleed out." Loki chuckled as he tossed the limb body of Itachi aside, leaving him for dead. If only Loki knew, that Vali himself had already healed from the poison thanks to Pheonix tears, and that the team still had one more.

Fenrir jumped onto Susano'o, its paws with its deadly claws held out to crush Susano'o underneath the full weight of Fenrir. Susano'o held off the claws of the beast with his katana, looking calm and collected the Storm Shinto God exhaled his breath. Waves of water generated from Susano'o, his blade coated in the sea water as he slashed at the wolf. Fenrir was whipped in the face by a wave of water, followed by its torso getting cut open.

Fenrir whimpered as it bleeds, the wolf huffed and puffed with rage, licking its own wound to ease the pain. "Sorry about that… But you aren't really giving me much of a choice here." Susano'o apologized, he didn't really want to fight Fenrir but he would if he had to.

Fenrir snarled at Susano'o not caring for the God's words. Loki having enhanced Fenrir's bloodlust had managed to fix the problem Fenrir had with Susano'o. The wolf really didn't want to fight the Storm God either originally, but with its taste for the blood of a God enhanced by its parent Fenrir's own feelings were overwritten by feral instincts.

Susano'o sighed, and his eyes flashed open with thunder as he rushed at Fenrir. The deadly blade of the Storm God slashing and slicing into Fenrir's flesh. The wolf responded with its own claws, and the sound of their clashing echoed like clanking metal.

In Svartalfheim, Odin rubbed his beard with curiosity. Wondering if the Shinto Storm God could take down the notorious Fenrir, certainly would save Odin a lot of trouble. "You think that God can beat Fenrir?" Brok casually asked, while snacking on some grilled meat.

"Well… I would say maybe. Both Fenrir and the Storm Shinto God are listed amongst the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World. Neither of them are going to escape this battle unscratched. What concerns me… is if Muspelheim can contain their collective power." Odin revealed sweating a bit with fear.

Susano'o and Fenrir zoomed across the battlefield, moving like zigzagging waves of light and thunder. Fenrir with his claws sliced open dimensional rifts, and Susano'o with his insane speed and thunder moved in between dimensions to flank Fenrir. The Storm God popping in an out of Muspelheim while attacking Fenrir.

Fenrir took chase after Susano'o slicing open the rifts of the realm, and following Susano'o. The God Slaying wolf took chase after Susano'o, as the two battled across the Yggdrasil tree. Both moving so fast they didn't even leave images of themselves visible, just waves of thunder and light clashing against each other. Susano'o and Fenrir's intense clashes tore even at the Yggdrasil tree. Thunder blasted around the giant tree of the Nine Realms, along with the sounds of a howling wolf taking chase.

Susano'o led Fenrir back towards the branch leading to Muspelheim, he didn't want to fully damage the world tree after all. Both combatants zoomed past what appeared to be an angry looking squirrel cussing them out.

Fenrir pounced at Susano'o, ripping its fangs into the very fabric of reality as the Storm God slipped underneath the wolf. Susano'o swiftly slashed at the wolf's belly, while Fenrir tore up a hole into Muspelheim. Susano'o then kicked the wolf through the torn hole in reality, and jumped in after it. Both Fenrir and Susano'o clashed over one of Muspelheim's many active volcanos. The sheer force of their clash ripped the volcano asunder, leaving it as nothing but a pile of rubble drowned in lava.

Both combatants were relentless, zooming across the entire realm at super speed. Fenrir slashed his claws at Susano'o cutting open the God's yukata and slashing at his chest. Susano'o steeled his eyes as with a mere spinning strike of his sword, the God created a massive wind twister that swallowed up Fenrir. Susano'o stabbed the twister, causing bolts of thunder to rain clashing into it adding to its destructive power as it tore apart their surrounding terrain.

The howling Fenrir, charged its fangs at the twister, its fangs ripping apart Susano'o attack, although Fenrir didn't come out of it unscratched. Its fur looked burnt from all the thunder bolts. Fenrir rampantly attacked Susano'o, getting the drop on the Storm God, Fenrir sunk his fangs into the God's shoulder drawing blood. Lightning crackled between the teeth of Susano'o, as he groaned in pain and suddenly vanished in a flash of lightning. Fenrir quickly sniffed out Susano'o and swung its claws bellow where the Storm God had aimed to slash at Fenrir's legs. The wolf's claws clashed once more with the Storm God's blade. Generating an intense amount of electricity that tore up the frozen ice surface of Muspelheim Itachi had created. The lightning was so powerful, it parted away entire lava lakes and pushed Fenrir and Susano'o down into a crater.

Susano'o rushed towards an army of Jotnar, and Fenrir lagged behind him. In a split second, Susano'o had cut down dozens of Jotnar with his blade. And Fenrir extended its claws and slashed at the pieces of flesh from the Jotnar Susano'o left in his wake. The wolf charged at Susano'o and they clashed once more in a thunderous strike of power.

Both Fenrir and Susano'o were so evenly matched, their strikes caused all of Muspelheim to tremble. The shockwaves from their battle even reached Svartalfheim and the other Nine Realms. Odin hardly flinched upon feeling the intense shaking from the shockwaves caused by Fenrir and Susano'o, he had expected as much. But Odin still looked a little concerned seeing as the entire Yggdrasil tree was feeling the force of this battle. 'If this continue… without a doubt they will destroy the entire realm of Muspelheim. And then, their battle will lead them to the other Nine Realms, and in the end Asgard.' Odin was fearful that Fenrir and Susano'o could end up destroying all the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil. No, before it ever reached such a point, Odin would call in Thor to break up the fight.

Fenrir's claws slashed at Susano'o marking the Storm God's body with various claw marks. Whereas Fenrir got cut and slashed by the blade of Susano'o, neither showed signs of fatigue, or quitting. 'As expected of a God Slaying wolf… getting bitten by it would be deadly for any normal God. It has even put a halt to my regeneration powers. But my blade seems to be having the same effect on Fenrir.' Fenrir bit down onto Susano'o, catching the Storm God's arm between its fangs. But Susano'o was quick to stab the wolf through the back of its jaw with his blade.

Fenrir recoiled in pain, and made some distance between himself and Susano'o. Both of them were riddled in wounds, but neither showed any signs of fatigue and were resilient. Fenrir snarled as it recognized the danger of Susano'o, it carefully circled around the God looking for an opening to strike. "Finally acknowledged me, have you? I know you aren't a mindless beast. You do not have to obey your father. We can end this battle right now." Susano'o kept his gaze on Fenrir, his sword ready for any moves the wolf would attempt.

Fenrir barred its fangs at the God, although not capable of verbal communication Fenrir was still a very intelligent being. "That's right. We can just talk it out. I will give you some prime beef, how about that? And we can have a peaceful discussion. I know you aren't a bad soul. We don't choose our parents. I know that better than anyone. My father was quite strict and commanding as well. And my mother, well she was absent for most of my life. Why not be a healthy child and rebel against mom and dad, huh?" Susano'o playfully suggested.

Fenrir however, still saw red. Whatever Loki did to him seemed to be quite effective. "I mean, what kind of father drugs his own son to make him more obedient? Worst thing my old man did was kick me out of the house after I spoke out of term." Susano'o continued his attempt to communicate with Fenrir, even if it seemed like a hopeless endeavor. But it was a better alternative to what would happen if their battle continued. Susano'o saw all the rifts in the very fabric of reality the two of them had made throughout their battle. It looked like someone had torn up a giant painting. Without a doubt, they were close to destroying Muspelheim if this continued.

Fenrir barred his fangs, and rushed towards Susano'o who sighed. "I see, that's too bad." Susano'o speed blitzed Fenrir, appearing right behind the wolf in the blink of an eye with his sword drawn. A slash of thunder exploded across Fenrir's torso, injuring the wolf to the point where he finally fell over.

Fenrir shakingly picked himself up, whimpering like an injured puppy, the wolf retreated away from Susano'o making some distance between the two. "We can stop now. We don't have to hurt each other." Susano'o sheeted his blade, and offered his hand.

Fenrir barred his fangs at Susano'o, but didn't dare approach the Storm God just yet. Before it could even get the chance to attack. "Divide!" A white flash clashed into Fenrir, putting the wolf in a headlock. Fenrir howled and struggled to break free from Vali's grip. But with Fenrir's power divided, and the injures it had suffered from Susano'o it failed to break through.

Amon came flying in and tossed the Gleipnir chains at Fenrir, the chains bound themselves around Fenrir, fully restraining and restricting its movement. "Well you guys are right on time." Susano'o greeted, although was a bit put off by the fact that Bikou and Arthur as well jumped in with Vali and Amon. Standing around Fenrir. "Whatever you have planned… are you certain you can escape?" Susano'o was quick to catch on, putting his hand onto his blade.

"Heh, looks like we've been found out. We had no interest in Loki himself, we only came here to recruit Fenrir." Vali revealed, showing no fear before Susano'o. A magic circle had already formed beneath Team Vali and Fenrir, and it had the symbol of infinity.

Susano'o drew his blade and rushed at Team Vali, aiming his blade for Vali in particular. Susano'o had quickly closed the gap between them, and aimed his blade for Vali's neck who looked in awe. 'So fast…' Vali looked caught off guard, unable to react. But the blade never made contact with Vali, instead it hit a barrier made from the magic circle.

"Ophis, huh?" Even with his might, Susano'o couldn't just break a barrier made by Ophis. The Storm God watched as Team Vali vanished along with Fenrir through the magic circle. "Well, at least that makes things much easier. Now then…" Susano'o turned his head around seeing hundreds of Jotnar towering over him. "What to do with you naughty kids?" Susano'o surrounded himself with lightning as he stared down the army of Jotnar.

Even as if monster wolves, lynxes and wolverines chewed on her Kakuja body, Eto let out a crazed sounding chuckle. The owl soaring across the heavens of Muspelheim unleashing an arial bombardment of red crystal projectiles fused with Shalba Beelzebub's decay magic. The giant monster grizzly bears, wolves, wolverines and lynxes all shrieked and roared in pain as their bodies withered away from advanced decay.

Eto's owl Kakuja raised its white clawed hand, and went in for a slashing swipe attack at Angrboda. The Jotunn Witch of Midgard blocked the slashing strike of Eto with a defense magic circle wall. "Logi!" Angrboda swung her magic staff, igniting Eto's hand in flames.

Eto shrieked in her Kakuja, and the twenty-meter-long owl beast used its fangs to tear off its own arm. The sound of groaning flesh and bone came from the severed stump of Eto's Kakuja, as a new arm regrew out from it. "You Ghouls and your regenerative abilities through consumption of flesh, how many of my children have you devoured to regenerate so quickly?!" Angrboda snarled in rage as with a swing of her staff, she created an invisible blade of wind that slashed at the main body of the giant owl monster.

"I don't devour animals, rather I've just eaten a bunch of these giant fellas." Eto giggled within her Kakuja, licking her lips at how tasty the flesh of a Jotunn was to her. "Humans don't simply cut it for me anymore…. Ah, Itachi by bringing me into this life has spoiled me rotten~ With all new sorts of flavors~ I love him for it~" Eto giggled with a crazed smile on her face. Eto's Kakuja's mouth tore wide open, and out from it sprayed out a massive wave of fire.

"Skjoldr!" Angrboda slammed the end of her staff to the ground, generating a magical barrier around her, and the flames moved around her. Once the flames dispersed, Angrboda thrusted her staff forward like it was a spear. "Geirr!" A powerful sharp air cannon launched itself at Eto, tearing apart her entire Kakuja body.

Eto looked in shock as the head of her Kakuja was ripped off revealing where she was hidden within the beast. Angrboda jumped at the now exposed Eto, and once more thrusted her staff forward like a spear. "Geirr!" Angrboda unleashed the air cannon blast into Eto, blasting a giant hole through the half Ghoul's stomach. "Now fall into the depths of Purgatory, lowly Ghoul." Angrboda glared at the crawling Eto.

"Damn… you are strong…" Eto giggled, Angrboda was easily Satan Class, at least nearly as strong as Serafall Leviathan. Eto pulled her hand towards her mouth, opening it revealing the severed fingers of Loki that Susano'o chopped off earlier. "Which is why I am going to enjoy this~" Eto showed the severed fingers of the Trickster God into her mouth, the crunching of the bones and the groaning of the flesh as Eto chewed on the fingers.

"What's this?" Angrboda suddenly felt the air around them changing direction towards Eto. "What did you do?" Angrboda unable to see that Eto was currently eating the fingers of her beloved Loki. "Lowly Ghoul…" Angrboda pointed her magical staff towards the downed Eto. "Logi!" Angrboda fired off a fire ball towards Eto.

Tentacles of flesh, as sharp as blades emerged from Eto's back and clashed into the fireball, tearing it apart with a power thrust. "Ah, so this is the taste of a God~?" Eto practically moaned at tasting this unique blood. Turning her head around to face Angrboda, Eto smiled as the tip of one of Loki's severed fingers stuck out from her mouth.

"Y-You ate my Loki's severed fingers?!" Angrboda looked outraged.

Eto sucked in the fingertip, chewing on it and then swallowing it. "Don't look at me like that~" Eto sounded bashful. "It is impolite to stare at a woman when she eats~" Eto's body is then enveloped in walls of flesh as it all gathers into a Dragon sized Kakuja. Eto lets out a crazed sounding laugh as her Kakuja continues to grow.

"You really are something far worse than a monster!" Angrboda looks enraged and raises her magic staff up high. "Halogi!" Angrboda creates a giant high wall of fire to surround and burn Eto's new Kakuja.

"Logi!" Eto sprays out a huge amount of fire from the mouth of her dragon Kakuja. The flames burn against the fire wall made by Angrboda, overpowering the witches flame and pushing towards Angrboda.

"Skjoldr!" Angrboda surrounds herself in a barrier, and the flames dance around her unable to reach her. The maddening sound of Eto's cackling laughter reaches Angrboda's ear, as the giant monster flies out from the fire and smacks Angrboda aside. The powerful strike from Eto broke through Angrboda's barrier, the monster witch gasped as she vomited out a puddle of blood feeling some of her internal organs crushed.

Eto cackled, as she unleashed giant meteor sized fireball towards Angrboda. The witch groaned as she thrusted her staff forward. "Geirr!" The air cannon pushed straight through the fireball, dispersing the flames. "Don't you laugh at me, Ghoul!" Angrboda's eyes glowed as her body grew in size, turning into a giant version of herself that was a few heads taller than Tannin in his full-sized Dragon form. "Kyrkja!" Angrboda directed her staff at Eto, who seized her intense cackling as she suddenly could not move.

'I can't move… feels like ropes are binding themselves around me.' Eto looked at her Kakuja form, seeing several ancient Nordic runes inscribed across her body. Binding her like an invisible rope.

"Die you little wench!" Angrboda's staff was generating a sphere of fire at its tip. And unleashing the fire in a mighty thrust, Angrboda chanted out. "Geirr!" Unleashing an air cannon that only increased the power of her own fire, Angrboda blasted a giant hole through Eto's Kakuja. And the flames burnt across the entire giant owl's body. Angrboda having had enough of playing around with Eto, unleashed a rapid series of thrust strikes that launched air cannons that tore away at Eto's Kakuja.

With the head of her Kakuja gone, Eto gave an icy gold glare at Angrboda, as blood trickled itself down over Eto's eye from a cut on her forehead. "… I will tear out your so-called "divine" heart." Eto sounded serious, as she revealed her feelings with a look of hatred and contempt. The Jotunn were a different race of Gods in the Norse Pantheon. So, Angrboda was a God who like all other rejected the Ghoul race and drove them out of the supernatural world.

Eto's entire body unleashed a mighty aura comparable to that of Loki himself. Angrboda gasped in disbelief, as this mighty aura blew away the binding spell on her body. 'The Ghoul's power continues to rise… just from Loki's fingers… she has achieved power comparable to that of a God herself!' Angrboda looked in disbelief at seeing Eto's power continue to grow.

"Lord of the Flies." Eto using the power of Shalba Beelzebub, placed her hand on the ground, unleashing a rapid wave of decay that devoured any nearby Jotunn, and Angrboda's monsters. "I am a natural born half Ghoul. I have been rejected my whole life… This birdcage that traps the world of humans, Ghouls, Devils, Angels and Gods… I shall tear it down. And ascend as the One-Eyed Ghoul God."

Angrboda looked perplexed for a moment, before bursting out in laughter. "A Ghoul God? No such thing can ever exist out of your pathetic species!"

"You are right, the Ghouls are a pathetic race for bending to your wills and become outcasts. But I am different." Eto took a giant leap towards Angrboda, Eto's body bare and only covered in her usual bandage getup. Not even covered in her Kagune, Eto jumped right towards the open mouth of Angrboda who gasped a bit in shock at the sudden incoming Eto. "Now, I can't let you give Itachi and the others a hint of my ambitions. So, I will just kill you." Eto smirked as she jumped down Angrboda's throat.

The giant form of Angrboda recoiled back in shock, holding onto her throat as she felt Eto slide all the way down. Angrboda tried to throw Eto up, but suddenly felt a burning pain in her body. "Urgh! Argh!" Angrboda wailed her giant body around, crying out in intense pain. Then out from her chest stabbed out four giant flesh distorted tentacles.

Something within Angrboda's body groaned, the sound of bones breaking, and some organs being torn down. A sharp blade of flesh then stabbed out from Angrboda's stomach, and sliced the monster giant witch open.

Eto soars straight out from Angrboda's stomach, having disemboweled Angrboda. Eto's entire body was covered in blood and guts. And Angrboda let out desperate crying wails, as she tried desperately to keep her organs from spilling out from her body. Angrboda gasps, unable to mumble out a single word as she chokes on her own blood.

Eto smiles sadistically, and pulls her arm out from behind her back revealing a giant beating heart that pumped out blood. Angrboda reached for Eto holding her heart. Eto lifted the giant heart over her head, looking upon it as she squeezed it, squashing the heart and letting blood pour all over her face. Eto lets out a sadistic sounding giggle as she licks the blood around her mouth. "Thanks for the meal~" Eto smiles as the giant form of Angrboda collapses behind her, dead.

"Angrboda…" Loki looked in disbelief as Eto disemboweled his lover. Veins bulged around Loki's temple as he swung his hook bladed chains at Eto who was in the process of licking off Angrboda's blood.

Itachi jumped before the blades, his body riddled in bloodied gashes and slashes, and his eyes bloodshot and still crying tears of blood from the Midgardsormr poison. Itachi swings the Leviathan Blade melting the surrounding ice into creating giant tsunami waves. Loki snarls in annoyance at Itachi's interference. "You and your accursed peerage shall pay! You have not only robbed me of Fenrir! But now you've killed Angrboda! I will have your heads!" Loki in his anguish let out a war cry, as he and Itachi zoomed across the battlefield.

Both warriors letting out a mighty war cry as they swung their weapons around. Thunder strikes and explosions span across a wide ranged area, as Loki and Itachi moved zooming around at light speed. Their battle cries echoing and vibrating across all of Muspelheim.

"Onii-sama…" Sona mumbles, hearing Itachi's struggling battle cry brought up memories. Sona in the moment didn't see Itachi fighting Loki, no she was taken back to that day, when Itachi fought Trigon. "No… not again…" Sona shed tears, as she remembered the beaten to near death state Itachi was left in after fighting Trigon. "I won't watch again!" Sona rushed in to the battle.

"Sona! Wait!" Rias too remembered that day, but she knew if Sona jumped in now, she would only get in the way.

"Water Prison!" Sona pointed her rapier sword at Loki, the water beginning to ensnare itself around the God. Loki unleashed his Divine aura, that blew away Sona's water.

"Little wench!" Loki snarled and swung one of his blades at Sona, the blade soared by so quickly Sona didn't have time to react, already blinded with fear for her brother's safety she didn't see it coming either. Loki's blade slashed down her torso, nearly splitting her entire body open.

Itachi looked on with horror, his face went pale. "Saus…" Itachi held his tongue before he could mumble out the name of his past life's brother. "SONA!" Itachi cried out in panic. All went silent for Itachi, he stood there with a flabbergasted look on his face. The sound of Loki's taunting laughter in the background, the God taunting Itachi in words he could not make out in this very moment. Itachi's eyes look bloodshot, he saw red.

Itachi's face turned red with rage, and then a spark flickered around him. A fiery red aura, an aura that was unfamiliar to the Sins, unfamiliar to Rias and Sona, unfamiliar to Loki. All but one, were unfamiliar with it. "What the?" Loki backed up in disbelief.

Susano'o looked in shock. "That's… my…" Susano'o could not believe it, that red aura of pure rage and the fury of a thousand storms. The blood red aura he had seen when he stormed his sister's palace, when he was banished from the Heavens by his father and all the other Shinto Gods. An aura he had not seen since his battle against the Eight Headed Dragon Orochi. It was unmistakable to Susano'o, the current red fiery aura around Itachi, was Susanoo's own aura.

"Lady Sona!" Tsubaki flew to Sona's side, with their last bottle of Pheonix tears. Tsubaki rushed to pour the tears onto Sona, looking lost and not sure what to do. Tsubaki held onto Sona as she watched her master heal.

Itachi however, had not quenched his rage from seeing his sister heal. "Loki!" Itachi cried out in anger, his booming roaring voice shocking even his own peerage. No one had seen Itachi this angry before.

At hearing Itachi's battle cry, Loki snaps out from his awe at Itachi's aura. "Die already! Devil!" Loki in his frustrations threw his hook chain blade at Itachi, the blade piercing through Itachi's side.

Itachi's flesh sounded like it was getting torn, as it groaned. Itachi grabbed onto the hook blade of the chain, and Loki looked baffled. Itachi plucked the blade out, and firmly held onto it. 'Impossible…' Loki looked astonished. He was so caught off guard that when Itachi yanked the chain Loki nearly tumbled over.

Regaining his footing, Loki gritted his teeth and yanked the chain back. Loki pulls with all of his Godlike strength, and Itachi is dragged a bit towards Loki. Itachi lets out a grunt, and with all his might he pulls back. Loki looks astonished, in this tug of war, Itachi resisted Loki and his Godlike strength, and fought back. Loki with his strength had pulled down the likes of Tannin, taken down Juggernaut Drive Issei and Vali. Yet this mere young Devil, was able to resist his mighty strength?!

Itachi grabbed tightly onto Loki's chain, gritting his teeth as the fiery red aura of Susano'o exploded around him. Itachi's eyes were still standard Sharingan pattern, but something in his soul had been ignited from his intense rage. Whether it be from muscle memory Itachi possessed from his previous life on how to use the Susano'o. Or if it was the tampering of some other entity. One thing was for sure, Itachi was dragging Loki towards him.

Loki looked in disbelief, digging his heels onto the dirt. Loki looked in disbelief as he was slowly dragged through the earth and towards Itachi. 'Is this Devil overpowering me?!' Loki in his fury pulled back with all his strength, to which both combatants reached a standstill. Neither budging an inch.

Loki unleashes the full might of his divine aura, mixed with the force of Itachi's aura the entire ground beneath them was rising up. A platform of stone holding Loki and Itachi floated up, as if it was being carried by the wind. Loki poured his magic through the chains, unleashing a burning sensation of fire. But Itachi did not loosen his grip, in fact he tightened it. A chilling sensation of ice ran down the chains and froze the tip of Loki's fingers.

'He's fusing his own demonic power into the chain?!' Loki widened his eyes, risking with only holding on with one hand. Loki spins the second hook chain blade, and flings it at Itachi. Itachi however, grabs onto the incoming blade, mere inches from his face. Itachi tugged the chains towards him, and with that he yanked Loki off his feet. With a mighty shake, Itachi shook off Loki's hold on the chains.

Wielding Loki's own weapon, Itachi chucked the blades at Loki, having the hooked blades pierce through Loki's hands. Itachi leaned his back against the chain, and like a slingshot, Itachi launched himself at Loki. Loki gasped and groaned in pain, as his bones cracked from Itachi coming in for a crashlanding with his knee planted in Loki's chest. Before Loki can attempt to break free from his own blades, Itachi pummels his fist into Loki's face, drawing blood as he busted Loki's lip and broke his nose.

Freefalling towards the ground, right over a wide-open crack leading to a deep ravine where one could not see the end of it. This ravine divided the rocky surface of Muspelheim. Itachi pulled out his Leviathan Blade, charging thunder into it as he stabbed Loki through the abdomen with it. Loki cried out in pain as Itachi continued to stab him multiple times. 'I can't move! The lightning from the blade is preventing my muscles from moving!' Loki snarled in frustration.

As they approached the ravine, Itachi stood on Loki and dropkicked him straight into the ravine. Itachi landed right before the ravine with the Leviathan Blade in one hand, and Loki's Dual-Wield Chained Hook Blades in the other.

Loud rumbling came from the ravine, and the roaring giant form of Loki rose up from it. Loki in his rage, had morphed himself into a giant version of himself. Loki's eyes glowed with thunder, as with a swing of his arm he blasts the entire battlefield with a bright flashing energy blast. Itachi took a giant leap back, dragging his feet through the earth.

In Svartalfheim, Odin was stroking his beard as he could see the battle was nearing its end. "That Sitri boy has Loki on the ropes… Loki has resulted in using his trump card. Using his Jotunn magic to shapeshift himself into a giant version of himself. Merged with his Aesir God magic, Loki in this state could destroy the entire planet Earth." Everyone from Svartalfheim looked on in suspense at this magnificent battle. While Odin looked on with a concerned expression. 'Could a High-class Devil… beat a God?' Odin thought to himself.

In Muspelheim, the giant form of Loki roared down on Itachi and co like they were insects. "Perish!" Loki unleashed a raining hail barrage of energy blasts onto Itachi. Itachi took a giant leap towards Loki, sheeting his Leviathan Blade and taking in the use of Loki's own weapons. "I will tear apart your soul! Until nothing remains of you!" Loki slammed his giant fist down onto Itachi, who jumped aside barely dodging it. The force of Loki's fist caused the ground to move like a wave on the open sea.

Itachi threw one of the Dual-Chained Hooks at Loki, latching one onto the right side of his head. Itachi then tosses the second one, and latches it onto the left side of Loki's head. Itachi wraps the chains around his back, holding tightly onto the chains, Itachi drags them down and effectively yanks Loki's head smashing down into the ground. Lifting the chains up, Loki raises his head up a little, only for Itachi to pull down the chains once more slamming Loki's face into the ground. Repeatedly Itachi used the Dual-Chained Hooks to drag Loki's face slamming into the ground, until the God had a big bloodied stain on his forehead and a swollen eye.

"Little punk!" Loki roars as he unleashes his Divine aura that causes all of Muspelheim to tremble. Itachi pulls the chains back, yanking the blades out from the back of Loki's head. Loki then shot thunder blasts out from his eyes, sending Itachi flying backwards.

Loki climbed out from the ravine, revealing his giant form to be a few heads taller than Tannin in his full-sized Dragon Form. "Such a powerful Devil… No, I refuse to acknowledge that you are a Devil! It is simply not possible for a Devil! To be able to contend with a God!" Loki stomps his foot onto Itachi, the force of Loki's foot tearing up a lot of the ground and expelling the magma hidden underneath. "What?!" Loki questioned in disbelief, as he felt his foot was getting lifted up.

Itachi underneath, struggled and the red fiery aura around him intensified as with one push he pushed Loki back a step. "Clearly, you are mistaken!" Itachi took a gigantic leap towards the giant form of Loki. Itachi reeled his fist with the ice gauntlet back, and stared down as he hovered over Loki who glared at him with his glowing eyes. Loki fired off several thunder blast beams from his eyes, but Itachi whilst spinning his body around midair dodged and weaved every single one. Mustering all his strength, Itachi throws a heavy punch into the giant Loki's face. The shockwave blew away the black smokey cloud of Muspelheim, revealing a starry sky hidden behind it.

The sheer force of Itachi's punch, made the giant form of the Trickster God bend his upper body backwards all the way until the back of Loki's head connected with the ground. Upon the back of Loki's head connecting to the frozen icy ground of Muspelheim, the entire landmass explodes into a giant dust cloud. Cracks appear all across the surface of Muspelheim expelling the magma and lava hidden underneath as it rises to consume the land. The sheer force of the explosion, was enough so that the Sins, Rias, Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki and Susano'o had to take flight to avoid collateral damage.

"Oh my… Maou." Rias looked in disbelief, seeing the destruction of the molten rocky surface of Muspelheim continuing to spread far beyond the horizon. The ground is sinking forming a giant crater that is getting overfilled with magma.

In Svartalfheim, even Odin looks in disbelief as he zooms out to see the total scale and size of the crater Itachi and Loki just made. "Incredible… the destroyed terrain of the already fragile surface of Muspelheim. And the entire crater they just created… it scales to the size of the entire continent of Europe." Odin was awestruck, he had expected such a feat from one of the Four Maou, especially from Ajuka and Sirzechs who could easily destroy all of Muspelheim if they so wished. But from a mere High-class devil?

In Muspelheim, Itachi jumps off from Loki, and floats over him as he sees Loki sink into the lava ocean he had just created. "Celsius Cross Trigger!" Itachi using the power of his Frost Demon Mode, performed one of Serafall's signature moves. And in an instant froze the entire lava ocean, with Loki inside.

The ice then cracks, as a shattering air cannon blows a massive hole through it, and Loki rises from it. A big bloodied bruise on his forehead along with his forehead ornaments shattered into glass that had stabbed themselves into his skin. And a big bloodied gash wound at the back of his head from where he hit the surface of Muspelheim. "I will not accept it! I will not stand for it! I will not be humiliated by a mere brat!" Loki roared as he made a quick enchantment. "All of you die buried underneath rubble!" Loki declared as giant shadows formed around them.

Everyone looks up, and are frozen with a look of awe. "Fucking hell…" Akeno commented in a quiet voice.

"This is out of our league." Tsubaki like Akeno looked frightened.

"So, this is the power of a God?" Sona hissed in pain, even with the Pheonix tears she had still not a 100% recovered.

Falling down from above, were five meteorites, each one scaling to roughly around half the size of the Earth's moon. Susano'o held onto his blade, inhaling his breath as lightning crackled between his teeth.

Before the Storm God could jump into action, Itachi flew straight towards the nearest meteorite. "Leviathan Blade: Godly Thunder and King of the Seas!" An intense power vibrated from the Leviathan Blade, as thunder exploded all around Itachi. Crackling and tearing apart entire volcanos. Itachi swung the blade, sending the full power of the Leviathan Blade and his Demonic power towards the nearest meteorite. The lightning spread like a cobweb of energy throughout the entire meteorite, and obliterated it in a bright crackling display of thunder.

However, debris of the meteorite still rained down onto Muspelheim, claiming many mountains and tearing up the land. A giant piece of the meteorite was hurdling straight for Sona, Akeno and Tsubaki. "Extinguished Star!" A large red and black projectile was thrown at the meteorite piece. The gravitational pull of the projectile, pulled the meteorite piece right into it, where it was obliterated to dust in the face of destruction. Rias having thrown one of her signature attacks, flew over to Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki. "We need to make some distance between us and the rest of this!" Rias ordered.

"But, what about Itachi?!" Akeno questions, worried for the safety of her and Rias' shared boyfriend.

"I wouldn't worry, Itachi just showed he is capable of handling this. Come on!" Rias ordered and they all flew away towards the Sins, who were battling the remaining Jotnar and the monsters left by Angrboda. Despite all this chaos, the Jotnar still outnumbered them heavily being roughly a hundred of them left.

Susano'o smiled, and then leapt into action zooming across the heavens like a lightning bolt. Susano'o destroyed all the four remaining meteorites in a flashing display, as each and every piece of rock was obliterated in the face of his thunder. "Go on, you have a job to finish." Susano'o smiled at Itachi, who looked astonished at how effortlessly Susano'o destroyed those four meteorites.

"No! Accursed Storm God! You dare interfere?!" Loki roared to the heavens. And Itachi came flying down towards Loki. With his Leviathan Blade, and the Dual-Chained Hooks ready.

"Subzero: Ice Blades!" Itachi swung the Dual-Chained Hooks at Loki, lightly slashing into the God's arms. The God chuckled, although suddenly looked in panic as his arms were freezing into solid ice.

"What is this?!" Loki recoiled in shock, using his Divine aura to try and break free from the ice.

Itachi had accumulated his Subzero: Ice Prison ability, into the Dual-Chained Hooks by channeling his energy through them. And thus, anything Itachi cuts with these blades, will now be frozen in a solid block of ice. Moving the chains around at intense speed, Itachi generated an entire ice blizzard storm. Unleashing a raining hail, of skyscraper sized ice crystals onto the giant Loki.

Loki let out a battle cry as his divine aura shattered several of the skyscraper sized ice crystals. Loki then gathered his frozen hands together, generating an intense amount of light and condensing it into a sphere of pure vibrating destructive energy. "I grow weary of you! Devil!" Loki then detonated the sphere unleashing a giant dome of energy that tore away the entire frozen lava ocean, and tore down all the surrounding volcanos. And Itachi was blown away as well from the blast's powerful shockwave.

Itachi crashed into a mountain, that shattered upon impact. Groaning Itachi felt out of breath, his muscles ached and cried in pain. And what is more, his fiery red aura had faded. Itachi had tired himself out, he had not had the need to put this much effort into a fight since their battle against Trigon last year. Itachi did not give up however, taking long and deep breaths. Itachi spun around the Dual-Chained Hooks of Loki, and latched them onto two giant boulders. Itachi leaned back onto the chain, and like a slingshot he launched himself towards Loki.

Taking out his Leviathan Blade, Itachi landed onto Loki's shoulder and stabbed him. Loki cried out in pain, as thunder erupted from his shoulder and surged through his entire being. Itachi pulled out the blade and moved up on Loki, swinging the blade in Loki's face and generating such intense waves of thunder that Loki was knocked onto his back. "Ice Wrecking Ball!" Itachi created a giant dense ball of ice that he attached to the Dual-Chained Hooks, and proceeded to beat Loki's face in with it.

Loki rolled over, and let out desperate sounding gasps as he tried to crawl away, only for Itachi to smash his body with the giant wrecking ball. Loki had taken such a beating that he was starting to shrink back to normal size. "W-Wait… hold on a moment-" Itachi grabbed Loki by the back of his head, and slammed the God's face into the dirt. Itachi breathed very heavily, as his Frost Demon form even faded away. Having exhausted nearly all of his stamina, Itachi was gasping for air. Itachi gets on top of Loki, still having an advantage over the God.

Itachi turns Loki around to face him, and start punching the God's face repeatedly. Loki's entire face is stained red in blood, his right eyes swollen, and blood continuing to run down from the bruise on his forehead. Itachi then throws Loki around like a ragdoll sending him crashing into a giant boulder. Loki gasps and tires to pick himself up, but Itachi bashes Loki's face into the boulder causing it to break apart. "Itachi Sitri! I told you I need Loki alive! You need to seal him with the Mjolnir replica!" Odin called through the commlink, yet Itachi ignored him and kicked Loki onto his back.

"We don't know where that damn hammer is. Sorry, Odin-sama… But without it I have no choice but to kill him." Itachi kicked Loki's jaw dislocating it. Itachi may be covered in cuts, bruises, stab wounds, and poisoned. But Loki looked like a bloodied mess, Loki's entire face was bloodied, his lips and right eye were swollen, he had glass shards sticking out from his forehead. What is more, the God's robes were stained red in his own blood.

Loki tried to crawl away, as he conjured up a series of defense magic circles to protect him. Even without the fiery red aura, and now without his Frost Demon Mode, Itachi still easily stomped through the barrier and pushed Loki's head into the dirt. Holding his hand out, Itachi summoned the Leviathan Blade to his hand. "Time to end this." Itachi looked on with a stoic expression, anger towards Loki still lingering from what he did to Sona.

Loki in a last-ditch effort, fired off a blast into Itachi's face that made the Sitri heir take a few steps back. And Loki desperately picked himself up and started limping away, trying to run while letting out frighten whimpers. 'He can't even manage a teleportation magic circle in his current state.' Itachi could tell with his Sharingan, Loki was running on fumes. He was probably hoping to hide away long enough to gather the strength needed to teleport. Itachi walked after Loki, Itachi couldn't run, his muscles were torn and his body ached in pain. But Itachi still had enough in him to finish off Loki. Itachi would need a long healing session from Raven after all this was over.

While their master was beating on the defeated Trickster God of the Norse, the Sins made quick work of any Jotunn or monster that challenged them.Bob grabs onto the jawbone horn of one of the Jotunn, and quickly twists its head around till the points its neck broke. However, unable to see another ice Jotunn that stood behind him and blasted Bob with an ice breath attack. Bob grunted as he was launched far into the heavens. "Ugh!" Bob groaned as he crash-landed in some ravine.

"Ow, my fucking head…" Bob groans as he looks up, and looked in awe at what he saw. "Well ain't you a beauty?" Bob grabs onto the freakishly long handle, and begins his climb out of the ravine. Smoke rises from Bob's hand that holds onto the handle, as if it is burning. Bob sweated a bit from the pain, but he knew he couldn't let go of this. They needed it against Loki after all.

Bob managed the climb, and stood at the edge of the ravine. Taking a few deep breaths, Bob grabs the handle with both his hands as he begins to pull it. 'Come on! Come on! I need you to protect my friends!' Bob continued to pull, and it budged, what is more a spark emerged from it.

Meanwhile, watching in Svartalfheim were Odin and a recovering Rossweisse. "What's this?!" Odin gasps as he strokes his beard. "Is that devil crazy?!"

"That fool, let it go! I will take it when I-" Rossweisse cries out in pain, still not fully recovered.

In Muspelheim, Bob yanked the heavy weapon out from the ravine. Holding it high as thunder struck around it. Bob was lifting the Mjolnir replica. His hands were burning, and emitting smoke, yet he did not care. "Oi, calm down already, would you?" Bob then began doing the unthinkable for a devil to do with a Divine weapon. Bob poured his own energy into it, the full blunt force of his aura. And the hammer continued to grow in exceptional size.

Odin watching from Svartalfheim with Rossweisse visibly sweats with concern. He needed the devils to use the Mjolnir replica to seal Loki. "Fools, I gave it to the Sekiryuutei because with Ddraig's influence and dragon arm, it would have been possible for a devil to wield it."

Bob grits his teeth, and tightens his grip onto the hammer. Lightning and thunder strike echoed all over Muspelheim, as if Thor himself was here. Loki halts in his limping trying to escape Itachi, as he looks on in terror. "Thor?!" Loki looks freaked out, barely able to stand after the beating he has taken from Itachi. This devil had not only humiliated him by besting his illusions, but he had also taken Loki's weapons and beaten him in a contest of strength, and now had Loki running away like a coward. If Thor was here, then his doom was certain by now. But something felt different. "No wait… this isn't Thor… Huh?!" Loki and Itachi both spot Bob standing in his 23-hour state wielding the replica of Mjolnir.

"Bob?" Itachi looks caught off guard.

"Impossible… those dwarves made it so no devil could ever wield their weapons! What makes you so special?!" Loki asks as Bob is limping towards them, still standing tall despite his chewed-up leg as a result of Fenrir.

Bob hoists the hammer and rests it onto his shoulder, as it grows into a humongous size, as Bob continues to infuse so much power into it. "Special? Ain't nothing special about me. I just want to use this hammer, to kick your ass. That is all there is to it." Bob declares as thunder is practically raining down around him. And lightning crackling from Mjolnir, which made Loki look in further disbelief.

In Svartalfheim, Rossweisse looks in disbelief as well. "I… I don't think I've even seen Thor-sama make Mjolnir that big before."

"I have… against the King of Jotnar who tried to steal Mjolnir from Thor once. But that isn't what surprises me." Odin states, looking with curiosity at what was happening in Muspelheim. "I don't believe it…" Odin mumbles as he sees Bob continue to pour every ounce of his energy into the hammer. With his muscular figure, and the surging lightning from the Mjolnir replica trying to resist Bob's demonic power. To Odin, Bob resembles his son Thor at this very moment. What is more, once Odin sees the lightning of Mjolnir turn dark blue, he knows what has happened. But it sounded so unreal even to the All Father himself.

"Wh-What's happening with the Mjolnir replica?" Rossweisse looks on in total awe.

"That devil brat… he bent an identical replica of Mjolnir to his will." Odin clenches his hand onto his spear, looking visibly shaken by this development.

"What?!" Brok and Sindri sounded outraged, and pushed their way through, knocking over Rossweisse so she hit her head against a rock and slipped away into unconsciousness once more. Asia looked distressed and quickly went to heal Rossweisse's injured head. While Brok and Sindri looked in disbelief at what they saw through Odin's portal image of Muspelheim. One of their divine weapons, was emitting demonic dark blue and black lightning. Bob had transformed a replica of Mjolnir from a Divine weapon, into a Demonic weapon through sheer spirit alone.

In Muspelheim, Bob panted a little and looked to the hammer head which was so big, it could hit a skyscraper like if it was a nail, that needed to be nailed into a floorboard. "You calmed down now?" Bob asks as the thunder and lightning from the hammer rocks the sky itself. "Felt lonely without a partner, huh?" The hammer pulses in responds as if it was alive. "Well, I'm here now!"

"Impossible… You cannot wield a replica of Mjolnir… you are just a devil!" Loki is holding onto his abdomen where Itachi had stabbed him so many times. Looking in pain and terror as he is backing away. "Even a God must be pure of heart and strong in spirit to wield Mjolnir. How can a devil, be pure of heart?!" Loki asks in fear.

"Funny coming from such an impure God." Itachi turns Loki around, who flinches as he raises his fist to strike Itachi with his fist cloaked in Norse magic. Itachi creates a shield of ice, and pushes Loki's arm aside. Itachi then proceeds to kick Loki in the chest, sending him flying towards a ready Bob.

"To answer your question, I just wanted to help my friends, so that we could all go home and have a nice dinner!" Bob swung the giant hammer sideways, and clashed straight into Loki's back. Loki's eyes turn pure white, as his expression is frozen in a look of pain. Tendrils of smoke emerge from Loki's body. The God's body starts to crumble as he is getting sealed.

"Impossible… a mere reincarnated Devil tamed an identical replica of Mjolnir. And… a mere High-Class Devil brat, beat a God… How? Unless one is a Super Devil, or at least a Maou… One cannot ever hope to beat a God. Me? An Aesir God… lost, to a Devil brat? No, I refuse to acknowledge him as a Devil, it defies all logic… He took my… chains…" With those final words, Loki's body was sealed away as they had promised Odin.

Susano'o smiled at Itachi as he saw Loki's body getting sealed after having his head banged by Bob and the Mjolnir replica. Looking around Susano'o saw the remains of Skoll and Hati, as well as the mangled disemboweled body of Angrboda. "Well, I suppose it is time to wrap things up." Susano'o turns towards the army of a hundred of Jotnar and monsters brought forth by Angrboda. Fire giants and ice giants alike, they were not done with the battle despite the defeat of their champion.

"Yasaka Blade." Susano'o drew his blade quickly, and slashed at the air before him and at the army of Jotnar. Rias, Sona, Eto and Raven who were nearby looked on in awe as they see a bright slash of thunder. The thunder slash incinerated any Jotunn and monster left by Angrboda it came into contacts with, all were slaughtered in less than a second leaving nothing of them in Shinto Storm God's wake.

Susano'o exhales his breath, and sheets his sword. Having cleared out every single giant and monster in less than a second. The Storm God looks with a smile, and happily hums as he walks over to the downed Itachi. Itachi looking out of breath gazes up at Susano'o as the Storm God's shadow falls upon him. Susano'o smiles and offers a helping hand. "You did exceptionally well in this battle." Susano'o praised Itachi as he pulled Itachi back up to his feet.

Most seem to brush it off, how easily Susano'o killed the Jotnar army, perhaps it was due to his gentle nature. But Eto and Raven on the other hand, stood by in a silent private discussion as they eyed the Storm God. "You know what I think?" Eto asks, to which Raven nods.

"Yes, Susano'o could have ended this entire conflict right away once Fenrir was taken by Vali and his team. But he didn't. Why?" Raven asks while looking on the Storm God with suspicion.

Eto merely shrugs. "Don't know, but I can tell Itachi picked up on it as well." Eto noticed as she eyed Itachi talking with Susano'o, she could tell Itachi was just keeping up with pleasantries and had a fake smile. He too was a bit suspicious towards the Storm God now. "One thing I know, I don't really see any malice from the guy. So, I guess he had his reasons. But whatever they are, I don't give a shit."

Raven nods in agreement. "I figure a lot of us are feeling the same… But he is a God, what can we do?" Raven noticed that Rias, Sona, Tsubaki, Akeno, Harry, Kuroka and Damian all shared the same look as Itachi when it came to Susano'o. What is more, Raven could tell the Storm God noticed their looks as well, but didn't care to address it.

They all wonder the same thing, why didn't Susano'o go all out from the start? But none felt any malice towards the God, after all without him many of them would have died in this conflict. And Susano'o had gone out of his way, to make sure no one amongst them died in this conflict. Having pulled out all the ones that were injured, and carried them out of Muspelheim, into Yggdrasil, and to Svartalfheim to get healed by Asia and the others. And he had done it all in the blink of an eye.

Raven immediately flew over to Itachi and Bob. "You guys' sure look like crap." Raven lightly commented.

"No kidding… can you fix my fucking leg?" Bob showed his mangled chewed up leg.

"Yeah… and if you could remove this poison from my body, that would be great." Itachi looked pale and was sweating a great deal from the drop of Midgardsormr poison running through his veins.

"Sure thing." Raven's eyes glowed up as she enveloped both Itachi and Bob in a black sphere of energy. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" And a bright flash of light, the spheres of darkness collapsed revealing a fully healed Itachi and Bob.

"Thanks Raven, man that feel better." Bob jumped up and down now that his leg was healed. Itachi gave a smile and nod of appreciation.

Itachi, Rias, Sona, Tsubaki, Akeno, the Sins, Susano'o return through the portal from Muspelheim, and back into Brok and Sindri's workshop in Svartalfheim. Asia, Reya and Momo worked around the clock to heal their injured. Asia's eyes lit up upon seeing Rias and the others return.

Itachi a little out of breath, and stained in his own and Loki's blood. "It's done." Itachi said to Odin who looked beyond astonished.

"Yes… we saw the whole thing." Odin silently replied and gave a nod of acknowledgment. "Thank you for all your hard work." Odin eyed Loki's chained hooks that Itachi had wrapped around sideways on his torso.

"Oh, yeah these should probably go back to Asgard." Itachi was about to hand over the chained hooks, but Odin shook his head.

"Nah, keep it. Let's call it the spoils of war, shall we?" Odin looked to his unconscious Valkyrie attendant. "Take her with you, I have urgent business to attend to." Odin vanished as a swirl of thousand black ravens flocked around him.

Itachi looked a little astonished, then he brushed it off and wrapped the chained hooks back around him. Brok and Sindri were currently crowding Bob, looking at the Grizzly Sin of Sloth, and what used to be the Mjolnir replica in awe. "Wh-What did you do?! How did you turn an identical replica of Mjolnir, into a demonic weapon?!"

"I don't know, I just wanted to help my friends, and picked it up. Took some convincing but he seems calm about it now… Why is it so weird, anyway?" Bob scratched his head out of curiosity.

"Because we don't make demonic weapons!" Brok pointed out, and instantly Itachi's head perked up. "It's tainted now! Go on and just keep it." Brok dismissed Bob, as the Mjolnir replica was no longer a Divine weapon, they didn't want it and Odin just left. So, it seems Bob found himself a new weapon.

"Um, excuse me… then what do you call this?" Itachi held out the Leviathan blade.

"What do you mean?" Sindri asks. "It is a divine weapon like all the others we make. Sure, it has a demonic element to it, but it is mostly placed in its power. It is still a divine weapon."

"Wait, how is that possible?" Rias looks in disbelief as do the rest, all except Azazel who shies away his gaze. And Susano'o who seems to understand. "How can Itachi wield a divine weapon?" Rias asks seeing as a devil shouldn't be able to wield a divine weapon.

"Why shouldn't he not be able to? He has Loki's chains now even, and they are the divine weapons of an Aesir God. Evil or not, Loki is still a God. And a God has Divine weapons. I mean, isn't Itachi some sort of Shinto Demigod?" Sindri and Brok both seemed to be under the impression that Itachi had been a Shinto Demigod this entire time.

"A Demigod? He is my twin brother, and a normal High-class devil." Sona points out, and then points to the Sins. "And they are his peerage of reincarnated devils."

"Heh, well clearly that isn't the case. Otherwise, he couldn't even hold those weapons. Don't believe me? Try and touch them." Rias and Sona share a quick look of uncertainty. Sona walks up to Itachi and carefully reaches for the Leviathan Blade, although she is quick to retract her hand while yelping in pain.

"Sona!" Itachi quickly grabs onto his sister. Itachi looks in awe, seeing smoke emitting from Sona's burnt hand.

"See? Divine weapons." Sindri concludes and waltzes back over to Brok for their lunch break.

Itachi looks to the blade with confusion, he doesn't feel any differently while holding it. 'What's going on?' Itachi finds himself questioning, looking to Susano'o. '… Could it be… because of my Mangekyou powers? No, they only share the name of deities… they shouldn't hold any divine power… or could they?' Itachi ponders, while the rest look at him with concern and confusion.

'Could it be… Ophis was right?' Sona's mind started going to a dark place, as she recalled that Serafall had gotten upset because Ophis claimed Itachi wasn't their brother. Then Sona thought of all the childhood memories, and clenched her burnt hand which stung, but she didn't care. 'No, I refuse to believe it! There must be another explanation. Maybe Ophis did something to onii-sama. Or maybe Odin or Susano'o for that matter.'

"Hey, it's been a long day everyone. How about we all go home and eat some takeout?" Azazel felt guilty over keeping this a secret, on Itachi's hidden Godlike powers, but they were still too young to understand. "Huh? What you all say? My treat." Azazel offered.

"Heh, if you are offering to pay. I'm going to have a feast!" Bob cheered. All this fighting had left him hungry.

'Sheesh, should take the kid to Valhalla, he would fit right in…' Azazel chuckled as Valhalla was filled with nothing but warriors, feasting and drinking to their hearts content. "Hey, miss Valkyrie. Could you maybe get us out of here?" Azazel shook Rossweisse awake.

"Huh? Where is Odin-sama…?" Rossweisse looked around for any sign of her boss.

"He ditched you, and told us to take you home." Azazel said quite bluntly.

"Wh-Wh-What?!" Rossweisse looked to be in full panic.

"Sheesh, if this woman is going to be screaming all day… I'm going to need some booze too with that food Azazel." Bob commented, groaning a bit from Rossweisse's loud exclaim over her boss ditching her.

"H-How dare you?! And carry that hammer with some dignity for goodness sake!" Rossweisse was quick to get up into Bob's case, starting to lecture him how to properly hold a weapon like Mjolnir.

Azazel and Baraqiel were seen discussing with Susano'o. "Once again, thanks a lot for pulling our asses out of the fire. Without you here, well we would be dead right now." Azazel shook the Storm God's hand.

"It was nothing, just helping someone in need." Susano'o gracefully accepted their praises, but was far too humble to accept it. "Anyway, I best be going. My sister is probably awaiting a report. It was a pleasure to meet you all, until next time." Susano'o gave them all a bow, before he vanished in a flash of thunder.

Itachi looked to where the Shinto Storm God once stood. Still wondering why, the God had held back his true strength in this conflict. But that could wait, as could many other things. "Azazel is right, we all deserve some rest." Itachi agreed, they would have to discuss the matter of Vali and his Team stealing Fenrir later. For now, they all had earned a good long rest.

"Yeah, you two especially." Azazel pointed at Sona and Rias who looked a bit baffled at why they specifically had to rest. "You two have a Rating Game against each other in two days, right? Better use your time to prepare. For one of you are going to the Rating Game tournament finals."

Rias and Sona both widened their eyes, they were a bit shocked that they had forgotten. But with all this sudden Loki business, the tournament had totally slipped their minds. The two rivals/childhood friends exchanged a look, and smirked. 'I can't wait.' They both thought as sparks of rivalry flew between them.

Rossweisse struggling not to cry over the fact that Odin ditched her, opened up a portal leading back to Midgard, and specifically to Japan in Kuoh town. Some limped, and the rest walked through the portal, heading on home to lick their wounds and rest. While elsewhere, a small discussion was being held.

With the issue of Loki settled, the peace talk between the Shinto Gods and the Norse Gods could begin. Within the sacred temple of Amaterasu, Odin was seated within a traditional looking Japanese room on a tatami mat, sipping tea with the Sun Goddess Amaterasu and the Moon God Tsukuyomi. "Tasty beverage, doesn't beat good ol' mead but it warms the body at least. Now, speaking of tea… any reason Susano'o isn't present in this meeting?"

"Hmm, same reason Azazel is probably absent. Same reason as why your attendant is absent. Recovery, from a battle against one of your own." Amaterasu pointed, sounding rather kind and gentle about the situation.

"Really? Didn't seem that injured after the whole thing." Odin couldn't help but notice that the Storm Shinto God was rather relatively unharmed after the whole battle against Loki and Fenrir.

"How can you know? As I recall you weren't present at the battle, All Father." Amaterasu smiled, spitting a hint of sarcasm in her tone of voice when calling Odin All Father.

"My, quite the feisty one, aren't you?" Odin gave a humorous chuckle. He didn't deny his lack of involvement in the whole conflict. "Didn't see you two lift a finger… but your younger brother was quite eager. Even though he clearly held back, might want to explain that?"

At this comment the tension between the three Gods filled the room. "Let's get to the point, shall we? We all know why both sides didn't get too involved in the conflict against Loki. Despite us knowing of his attack beforehand." Tsukuyomi revealed, that not only Odin, but they as well had been aware of Loki's involvement before the meeting was even set up.

"Well, when one has had to deal with his nonsense for millennia like myself. It is not that hard to predict he would do something to interfere. Loki reacted the way he did to our peace talk due to his narrow-minded views. He hasn't been happy with me for a while either, so him bringing Fenrir to kill me was also kind of predictable. As for Angrboda and the other Jotnar he brought… Well, that was a bit unexpected." Odin said with a sly smirk. Seeing Odin's smirk, both Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi recognized that Odin lied, he probably did predict Angrboda and the other Jotnar getting involved.

"… And we of course detected Loki's presence when he entered our lands." Tsukuyomi revealed. In fact, when they noticed, Susano'o had been the only one vocal about stopping Loki. Which is why their younger brother got involved in the conflict.

"And we're all aware why we reacted the way we did? I'm sure we all saw it today, right?" Odin smirked, hinting at the battle between Itachi and Loki. "We all wanted to see what Itachi Sitri was capable of. I don't know about you lot, but the kid did not disappoint."

"No, he did not." Amaterasu agreed with a cautious look on her face, as she continued to observe Odin like he was an enemy.

"Regardless, the child is an issue for us Shinto Gods to deal with. I think we all can agree on that?" Tsukuyomi added, seeming quite determined to have Itachi join their ranks. Or at least be dealt with under their jurisdiction.

"Sure, I don't want him. Seeing a devil beat a God like that… it is unheard of. I'm sure he has a lot of Gods scared shitless, or will anyway once the story spreads from pantheon to pantheon. Taking down an Aesir God is no small feat. Heck, had it not been for that Mjolnir replica sealing Loki away, I am certain that kid would have killed him. A bit frightening, I admit, how times seem to be changing. What I want to know, is his origin. Who exactly created him? I mean, besides the obvious answer his parents, who made it so he, a devil could wield Godlike powers and hold divine weapons which should be poisonous to his kind?" Odin asked the question that remained a big mystery for all Factions who knew of the boy and his latent powers.

"The child's origin is a mystery to us as well… We have consulted with our father, Izanagi. But even he doesn't have the answer." Amaterasu revealed.

"Huh, and your mother?" Odin asked and the mood turned dire instantly.

"You don't mention that woman in my palace again." Amaterasu seemed angered as she glared at Odin.

"Heh, is that where you get your temper from? Or is it daddy? Come on, kid is a devil, surely your Queen of the Dead must have the answer. Don't tell me you are so stubborn you haven't bothered consult Izanami about this? Heck, from what I hear the argument between her and your father doesn't even concern you. Are you such a daddy's little girl that you support your father no matter what?" Odin lightly taunted the sun Goddess, who seemed ready to kill Odin had it not meant war with the Norse.

"Enough… It is not that easy for us to enter Yomi to contact her." Tsukuyomi tried to calm his sister down, and glared dangerously at Odin.

"Fair enough… You know what, I think it's been enough family drama for one day. I'm in a good mood today, so how about we continue our peace talks? I will even tell you about Yggdrasil like you wanted." Odin declared especially as he sensed Sirzechs and Michael approaching to observe the conversation.

The peace talk went smoothly, and the Norse and the East signed a treaty for trade and other various things. Odin headed straight for a prison hidden in one of the nine realms. Approaching a cell surrounded by chains and magical runes. Odin looked into the cell, seeing a restrained Loki. "Come to gloat, Odin?!" Loki snarled at the All Father.

Odin shook his head. "Oh Loki. You were too hasty, if only you could see the bigger picture." At this Loki snorted at the All Father calling him out on his bullshit.

"I don't have time to wait for whatever you are scheming… Especially if it involves making deals with a weaker faction." Loki snarled.

"Well, now you have no choice. Because you lost to a mere devil. You, a God, lost to a young High-Class Devil." At hearing that Loki became visibly angrier.

"I refuse to believe that kid is a devil! He can't be!" Loki struggled to even move, as the chains kept him restrained.

"Well, enjoy your stay, Loki. I have business to attend to." Odin left Loki alone to pout in silence.

Odin walked with his spear Gungnir like if it was a cane. Going to meet with the source of another lie he had told today. Standing before Odin, was the red-haired giant of a man wielding a hammer, Thor. Thor was covered in blood and burns, and his hammer Mjolnir was stained red with fresh blood. And next to him was a young scrawny man with pale white skin and blond braided hair. His eyes glowing purple, and his smirk revealed golden teeth. He looked rather dignified, carrying a sword strapped to his side along with a horn, the guardian of Asgard, Heimdall.

"I take it things were successful on your end?" Odin asked as he eyed Thor's bloodied hammer.

Instead of Thor answering, Heimdall steps before Thor like a greedy child wanting all the credit. "Yes, All Father. Surtr the fire giant is now dead." Heimdall revealed, one of the main players in Ragnarök, the fire giant that would destroy Asgard is now dead.

Thor bumps into Heimdall nearly knocking him off his feet. "You're welcome." Thor says with sarcasm as he and Heimdall scoff at each other.

"I see you did most of the grunt work." Odin acknowledged, seeing as Thor was the only one covered in blood and burns.

"As usual." Thor merely shrugged.

Heimdall gasped, sounding offended. "Excuse me, I participated too! You wouldn't even know what Surtr would have done next if it weren't for me!" Heimdall accused while jabbing his finger into Thor's stomach.

Thor towering over Heimdall in height, loomed over him with a dangerous look in his eyes. "Take a step back or you're not going to like how this ends for you." Thor threatened.

Heimdall begrudgingly backed down, he knew better than to face the champion of Asgard in battle. "But yeah, you did shout to me what Surtr was thinking to use as a final move during the fight… from a safe distance anyway." Thor added while rolling his eyes a bit.

"Hehe, well, you both did good. I knew I could count on you." Odin praises his sons, in particular Thor giving him a firm pat on the back. "My strong brave son. You, may have prevented Ragnarök for good now, you've saved our family." Odin encourages Thor, who gives a light nod and smile at the thought. "Still, I can tell it wasn't easy." Odin added as he eyed his injured son from top to toe. "Fighting and killing one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the world never is after all. But, then again, you are on that list yourself." Odin chuckles.

While Heimdall rolls his eyes out of jealousy. "Oh yes. Since the God of the Bible went out of commission, they have all sung your praise." Heimdall snarls. "The strongest of all the Gods, the mighty Jotunn killer, Thor the God of Thunder. Now the slayer of Surtr."

Odin in responds shakes his head at Heimdall. "Now what is it with this behavior? We are all Aesir Gods here. The strength of one of us, is the strength of us all."

Thor pauses a bit, looking a little conflicted at hearing his father's praise. "What of Loki?" Despite his intentions, the trickster God was also an Aesir God, was he not?

Odin in responds merely shrugs. "Loki will be fine. I mean, his grandsons are dead, and so is his lover. But he is locked away. With Skoll, Hati and Surtr now dead. I am certain Ragnarök falls into our favor. If it even happens at all." Odin is feeling quite confident, now that Ragnarök may have been prevented. "No wolves to eat the sun and the moon, no fire giant wielding a sword coming to our doorsteps. And with Fenrir having been captured by Khaos Brigade, there is only a matter of time before someone of the Three Factions, or the other Pantheons kill him. they won't let their enemy possess such a mighty ally after all. And that means, no wolf to devour me. With Loki imprisoned, no one to kill Heimdall here. And Midgardsormr should be dealt with well enough, if that lazy bastard wakes up, we'll all just gang up on him. And then, no dragon to poison and kill you." Odin points at Thor.

"And Hel? What of her army? With her mother and nephews dead, and her father imprisoned… There is no way she is going to quietly back down." Heimdall points out.

"Good point, we'll deal with her when the time comes." Odin agrees. "Besides, we didn't kill Angrboda, Skoll, Hati. The only Aesir there, was Rossweisse. And I've left her behind with the devils." Odin reveals to explain the absence of his attendant who he left in Japan at the Gremory/Sitri estate. "If Hel will place her blame on anyone, it will be that, Itachi Sitri. Trust me, you guys know the drill, I do the thinking. I have a plan, boys. Now make sure Vidar and Baldur don't catch wind of this… Baldur can be persuaded, but Vidar is a bit stuck up."

Thor and Heimdall nod, the later feeling honored of being a part of Odin's inner circle, as evident by the smirk on his face. "What if one of the other factions or pantheons find out?" Thor asks in regard to the sudden death of Surtr.

Odin sighs and shakes his head. "See, this is what I mean. You don't need to think, I think. You kill." Odin points out, and Thor looks down for a bit trying to push his thoughts aside as his father instructed. "It is for the best things remain this way my son." Odin seeing the distressed look on Thor, gave a comforting pat on his back. "The other pantheons won't care about anything outside of their own realms and affairs. As far as they are considered, this would be an Aesir affair if they found out about Surtr. As for the Three big Factions, if they find out and try something. You will just flex your muscles at them a bit, not kill them of course. We want a neutral relationship with them at best. But hopefully they won't do anything to jeopardize our currently good one." Thor nods his head, trusting the wisdom of his father. "Besides, we could always pin the blame on Loki. Even if Loki claims he had nothing to do with it, no one is going to take his word for it. An evil trickster God." Odin snorts at mentioning Loki's title.

"But… No one would believe Loki could ever kill Surtr, one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World." Heimdall points out, as even though Loki was powerful, he wasn't that powerful.

"He had Fenrir with him, they were in Muspelheim, it's perfect." Odin pointed out as Fenrir was also one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World.

"Are we to kill Loki?" Thor asked.

"No, I still have some use for him." Odin rather quickly shut down the idea, which was odd, but neither Thor nor Heimdall dared question their father. But something else seemed off about Odin, for some reason the All Father appeared to be a bit frightened.

"All Father… may I ask if something is bothering you?" Heimdall asked causing Odin to chuckle.

"We both know you can easily find out if anything is bothering me." Odin pointed out to which Heimdall quietly backed down out of respect. "Truth is, seeing that devil kid beat Loki… was a bit disturbing."

"Wait, I thought the plan was for one of the Shinto Gods to-" Thor and Heimdall looked a bit caught off guard at what they were hearing.

"Yes, well the Shinto Gods had other plans." Odin aggressively added. "I mean, I was curious as well as to the boy's latent abilities… but to not have even realized them, and yet he, a devil still beat a God." Odin had anticipated to see how well Itachi would fare against Loki. He had not counted on things going that well for the young devil.

"T-That's not possible… No Devil except for Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub could ever beat a God, let alone an Aesir God." Heimdall said sounding flabbergasted at even the thought.

"I know, but it happened. Loki lost to a young High-Class Devil… Not a Maou, not King Bael, not Ajuka, and not to Sirzechs. Loki, lost to a youngster devil." Odin seemed to be in deep thought, not even Vali Lucifer and Issei Hyoudou in Juggernaut Drive could beat Loki. Susano'o could have, that was the plan after all. But no, it was at the hands of a single young Devil, Itachi Sitri.

"You certain he hasn't realized the hidden God powers within him?" Thor asked out of curiosity, he had seen the Sitri heir and for an ordinary devil he was impressive, but not impressive enough for a God. That is until now, if what Odin said was true.

"I'm certain… he wielded divine weapons without any divine aura. But for a brief short moment, he showed a form of divine aura similar to the Storm Shinto God. But it seemed more like a spur of the moment thing than anything else." Odin's mind was boggling, trying to make sense of it. It would help if he knew of the child's origin. "I need to see the Norns… I need to learn of this child's future."

"The Norns? You want to seek out the power of the Norns over a mere High Class Devil brat?" Heimdall asked in disbelief.

"A devil brat who defeated Loki, yes. Now come on." Odin quickly shut his son up, and thus they went on the move. "Lead the way, Heimdall." Heimdall without hesitation cut a portal into Yggdrasil, or more precisely to the bottom, to the roots of the tree.

"I hate being here…" Thor grunts as he looks around at the various threads hanging down around them, threads of life that resembled tree roots of the tree.

"All Father Odin, the Jotunn slayer Thor and the Watcher Heimdall enter the home of the Norns…" A female voice says as if she is reading out loud from a story book. "They have arrived. Thor resists the urge to grunt with contempt." And as such Thor grunts at the comment. "He fails. And Heimdall scoffs at his brother with ridicule." On point Heimdall scoffs with a light chuckle taunting Thor. "Odin gives a sarcastic greeting."

"Verdandi, so good to see you." Odin greets, as a second young woman saying the exact same thing as him comes skipping by with a smile on her face. "Skuld." Odin acknowledges.

"We know what you seek." An elderly woman walks out with a cane.

"Urd, good. Then can we perhaps get to business." Odin suggests while Skuld repeats everything he says, causing the All Father to sigh with annoyance.

"Thor furrows his brow menacingly." Verdandi reads out, and Thor looks on with contempt as he furrows his brow.

"You seek to know the ending of your story, like all the rest." Urd says causing Odin to snort.

"No, I seek to know-"

"Like I said, you seek to know the ending of your story. And if Itachi Sitri will be involved. You want to know if the child will be an instrument of Ragnarök." Urd reveals.

"So, you've seen something?" Heimdall asks.

"Yes, and no. Usually you lot are just too predictable." Urd points out.

"I know Groa didn't mention… a devil at Ragnarök. But seeing as we basically have prevented her prophecy, we would like to see if something's changed. Is Ragnarök still on?" Odin plainly asked.

"The skies burn. The curtains fall. Exeunt omnes. A warrior leads an army to Asgard, riding the wolf Fenrir. Odin dies, and Asgard falls." Verdandi comes out from the vines, standing next to Urd.

"Wait, that's not the prophecy Groa gave father… Where is Surtr in this? Loki?" Heimdall asks demandingly as Skuld repeats all he says, causing Heimdall to turn to the younger looking Norn and screaming. "Shut up!" In which she mimics him.

"It is the same prophecy as it always has been." Urd reveals causing Odin to drop his spear in shock.

"She lied…" Odin mumbles and Skuld mimics him. "Groa lied, is that what you are telling me?"

"If you already know the answer, why ask?" Urd cryptically pointed out, Odin looked enraged huffing and puffing his breath.

"Odin looks with rage, now demanding what Itachi Sitri has to do with Ragnarök." Verdandi reads out, much to Odin's frustration.

"What does the kid have to do with Ragnarök? Tell me!" Odin shouted demandingly.

"… The child's future lays in uncertainty. Either way he brings about Ragnarök, be it on his own devil kind. Or on all Gods. The child is not only the bringer, he is Ragnarök personified." Urd reveals and Odin seems to be sweating with fear, that is why Loki lost. To lead Odin to the Norns for answers, to lead to Ragnarök like Groa said Loki would.

"Well, then we kill him, problem solved." Thor points out, and Skuld repeats everything he says.

"No… If we kill him, we will be at war with Sirzechs Lucifer… And the Fallen Angels. And most of all…"

"Ophis." Urd reveals, and instantly Odin, Thor and Heimdall's faces turn a bit pale. "The Dragon God of Infinity will seek retribution for the death of her priced champion. And thus, end everything. Gods, devils, angels, dragons, humans. All will end in her war with Great Red. Kill Itachi Sitri, Ragnarök starts. Let him live, Ragnarök starts… but for whom does it start? The Gods? Or for the Devils? Or for everyone?"

"We are leaving." Odin and Skuld say at the same time, and Odin turns to walk away with his sons.

"Father…" Thor utters as they step out of the home of the Norns.

"She lied… after all these years… she lied." Odin snarls at the thought of Groa.

"What are we going to do? About the devil brat?" Heimdall asks.

"… We can't let him live to start Ragnarök, and we can't kill him because then Ophis will bring Ragnarök to us all." Odin mumbles on their options, which were limited. "I say we do nothing, not yet anyway. I will think of something, in due time." Odin says and thus they leave for Asgard.

Meanwhile, back in the realm of the Shinto Gods. Amaterasu sat with her brothers to discuss recent events. "Well, is it true? Does the child have our powers?" Amaterasu asks her youngest brother.

Susano'o sits peacefully and drinks a cup of tea. "After I let the trickster God get the upper hand, so that the child could fight him like we discussed. I kept a close eye on him, to ensure his safety." Susano'o reveals that he would have intervened if Itachi's life ever was in danger, and protected him. "But instead, I saw Itachi fight Loki with the Leviathan Blade… And then he took Loki's own weapons from him. He wielded two divine weapons despite being a devil, without suffering the consequences. Then, when his sister was threatened… his aura changed into a rabid ravaged aura of rage. Much like how mine used to be back in the day, in fact it was the exact same. There is no doubt in my mind, that child possesses our powers, and our father and mother's. He just, doesn't know or can't properly use them yet."

"Well, what are we going to do about him? If he has our powers, that technically makes him a Shinto Demigod." Tsukuyomi pointed out.

"All I want, is to help him, and protect him. I won't be a part of forcing the child into something he does not want." Susano'o spoke his mind while looking sternly at his brother.

"… I need more time to think on the matter. If we try to claim him, it won't go down quietly with Serafall Leviathan, or with Sirzechs Lucifer. I can imagine neither of them will stand for it." Amaterasu revealed, and thus the meeting was adjourned, and she and Tsukuyomi left the room.

Susano'o sighed as he looked into his tea cup. "A shame we can never get together to discuss trivial things, like our childhood." Susano'o shook his head, as he gazed out the window of his sister's palace, and looked upon the sky. The sun and the moon illuminating the sky at the same time, due to Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi being together in the same area. "Heh, yeah, those were quite the rowdy days… and quite the hard times." Susano'o looked down on his wrist, seeing a homemade wristband, it seemed rather old, but also well taken care of. Susano'o began humming in a gentle tone, as he stroked the wristband. 'In the end it was worth it, for it led me to you.' Susano'o thought of a small valley with a calm river, a younger version of himself with even rowdier messier hair with a cheeky grin. Walking next to a beautiful young frail looking maiden, who smiled gently at his rowdier younger self whilst giggling ever so lightly at whatever stupid joke he said. The love story between a God, and a mere human woman. "What a wonderful tale that was…" Susano'o smiled warmly at the memories.

That's the end for now!

Now, seeing as of March 24, it has been 5 years since I started this story back in 2018. And for the occasion I have the biggest chapter I have ever written. And with this, the Loki arc is concluded and now we move onto the first round of the semifinals of the Rating Game tournament. Rias vs. Sona. And after that we have the Hero Faction arc.

Also in this chapter, I used a few old Nordic words that were used in the Viking era for a few of the spells of Loki and Angrboda. I will give a basic translation of what they mean. "Logi" means fire basically. "Halogi" is a word for High flame. "Geirr" is a word for spear. "Skjoldr" is a word for shield. "Kyrkja" is a word used to describe strangling or choking. "Blindr" means blind or blinding. "Draumr" is a word for dream. Then we have the words used to describe the giants. "Jotunn" is a word for a singular giant. And "Jotnar" is used to describe multiple giants.

Top 10 Strongest Beings of the World. Now in this story, I am keeping all the ones DxD canon have stated to be the strongest beings, but I am also adding some of my own. I figured hey, in DxD there are more than 10 people with this title, so why not add a few more and just say they are tied with this character in strength. Also, a good majority of these characters are relatively close in power, in fact Ophis, Great Red, Trigon are probably the only ones that are a clear level above the rest. Also keep in mind this is all fiction, so try and not worry too much how your favorite of these characters (or I should say Gods) place on this list.

1 Tied between Ophis and Great Red (Now in DxD some may argue that Great Red is stronger than Ophis, however in Itachi Sitri I just want to be clear they are both equal in power. At least right now.)

2 Trigon (The Lord of Purgatory, needs no introduction really, in the DCU he is such a power house he destroys entire realities and worlds since he was a kid, his birth led to a lot of destruction, and he continues to conquer worlds turning them into mirror images of what hell should look like. Nothing more really needs to be said.)

3 Tied. Thor and Shiva (The Norse God of Thunder, a God I was very disappointed we didn't get to see in DxD. Why Thor is this high one might ask? Well for plot reasons if I am honest. And admittedly, Thor is my favorite Norse God so I have big plans for him in the future. As for Shiva, The Hindu God of Destruction, he is a God of Destruction enough said XD Both pantheons eagerly continue to debate over which of these two Gods are stronger.)

4 Brahma (Brahma is the Hindu God of creation, enough said.)

5 Sirzechs Lucifer (When it comes to Sirzechs, we already know how much of a monster he is. His True Form is what really puts Sirzechs this high on the list.)

6 Hades (The Greek God of the Underworld, God of the dead. In DxD he is stated to be way more powerful than his brothers Zeus and Poseidon, something I think is really cool, so I made him even stronger than that. But, we all know Sirzechs in his true form beats Hades so, that is why he is placed here and not higher. As for why not lower, well… wait and see.)

7 Tied between Indra, Lugh and Vishnu. (Indra King of the Gods, Lord of the Heavens, God of War and Storms in Hindu mythology, enough said. Lugh, the Celtic Sun God, for some reason I imagine him looking like a character with a lanky body like L from Death Note, but is like insanely strong. Vishnu the Hindu God of Preservation, a character that maybe should have been higher on the list, but we kind of need a bit of diversity and not let the Hindu Gods hold places right after each other XD)

8 Tied between Amaterasu and Nyx. (Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess of Shinto mythology, said to be the most brilliant out of Izanagi's three brightest children. And she is also the leader of Shinto mythology, so yeah. Nyx a Primordial Goddess of the night. A God Zeus feared. The fact that she wasn't one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in DxD was honestly shocking and disappointing.)

9 Tied between Surtr and Aten (Surtr a Primordial God of fire in Norse mythology, and the one destined to destroy Asgard and the Nine realms at Ragnarök. Even though at this point in the story he is dead, I still felt I should include him. Aten the Egyptian Sun God, the sun disc formed out of the God Ra that has taken on its own physical form.)

10 Tied between Fenrir and Susano'o (The God slaying wolf of Norse mythology, said to be able to cut through all the nine realms with its fangs, and pierce the flesh of even Gods, destined to kill and eat All Father Odin at Ragnarök. Susano'o the God of Storms in Shinto, and as I clearly showed here an equal match for Fenrir in power when the wolf mind you, who was blood lusted. And we all saw some other insane feats from him this chapter, so I felt it only right to include him, although he is at the bottom of the list.)

Now once again, keep in mind this is all fiction and just my version of the list. I really don't want to start a debate over this. I made this list purely for fun. If anyone were to wonder where God of the Bible would have been on this list prior to his death, he would be above Trigon but bellow Ophis and Great Red. And also keep in mind, other than Great Red, Ophis and Trigon, the rest on this list are quite close in terms of power. Some just have small advantages over the rest, hence why Surtr, who was only ranked 9 on this list gave Thor, who is 3 on this list a hard time from what we can see. Also even though Ajuka is a Super Devil like Sirzechs, I don't think that automatically makes Ajuka one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in existence. I think base Sirzechs and Ajuka are equal, but Ajuka hasn't shown anything like Sirzechs True Form which in my opinion is what puts Sirzechs on this list. If I were to give Ajuka a rank though he would be amongst the top 20 or 15 Strongest Beings, along with other Gods like Tsukuyomi, Izanagi, Izanami, Zeus, Odin, Poseidon etc.

And with that, leave a review with your thoughts on the chapter!

-Later!

(Responds to reviews):

andresskorskiruiz: You are welcome, glad you enjoyed the scenes with Eto. Hope you liked her fight in this chapter.

JoshL1294: I get what you mean, I feel the same in regards to Rias and her possessive behavior. It is quite endearing. I just don't like her relationship with Issei personally, I feel like Issei sort of restricts her character and what she could have been in the series.

moose master5543: Itachi is getting his EMS in the next arc, the Hero Faction arc. As for how, wait and see.

Kiyama: My man just made a crater the size of Europe, and destroyed a meteor that was half the size of Earth's moon. Oh yeah, Kuroka would definitely want those genes for her kittens XD

Velnair341: Yeah, it is going to go straight to EMS when Itachi awakens it, since he has Sasuke's eyes.

The Eschaton: Sometimes updating feels like a chore unless I am super motivated to write, like I am with this story and The Demon Eyes of Fairy Tail. I still want to update my other stories, but at the same time I also get a lot of brand new story ideas I want to try and make. So yeah, I feel you there.

hogan24: Yes, she can and yes, she is. The moment I included Raven into this story, I knew I was going to include her in Itachi's harem.

Guest: Thanks!

enumeaelish666: Yes, it was "The Sharingan of the Crimson Princess" by Arcreed. Was the first ever fanfiction I read on this site, and I loved it. As much as I would love to include some of those elements in my story, I have my own things and ideas to add. Like the Leviathan Blade and now Loki's Dual-Chained Hooks, so there are some new weapons for Itachi. And there is much more to come.

merendinoemiliano: Thank you!

Mr. Haziq: Probably, yeah. Baraqiel would probably still have the box with the last meal his wife ever made for him.

Guest: Raven and Eto do share some good interactions, but mostly it is Eto being a troll and Raven being mildly annoyed XD.

Honeyball Lecture: Well with Esdeath and Grayfia, it is pretty much the Underworld debating over who is stronger. But they are roughly equal in power I would say. Jack is Ultimate Class because her Sacred Gear is broken af, she is able to create weapons holding a element of weakness towards her opponent. As for how Itachi and his peerage beat her, well Itachi with his vast set of skills would easily be able to avoid an attack from Jack. And I am pretty sure I stated earlier on that Itachi was also Ultimate Class at the time he meets Bob and Jack. Think I stated so in his fight against Bob anyway, can't quite remember. Each of the Satans to give you a picture, at full power could destroy the Earth, easily. Sirzechs and Ajuka scale above that as Super Devils and rival the higher ranked Gods. While Serafall and Falbium who are regular Satan class, rival the lower level type of Gods, Loki is way stronger than both of them btw. Most of the Sins when they were reincarnated jumped from Ultimate class to lower Satan class. Which is where I have characters like Kokabiel, Katerea Leviathan and Creuserey Asmodeus scaled to.

APerson: If I would ever give up on my stories, I would write so in my profile. But yeah sorry, been busy with some exams, work and such.

SolSparda369:

Guest: Yeah, it's the sweetest thing, and Raven lowkey kinda hates it XD.

: Sheesh, I would think so. Seeing as this story is over 500K words by now.

fallendemon248: Plot twist, Serafall won the betting pool for Itachi's virginity ages ago XD. I remember a friend of mine told me to make a flashback scene where Serafall accidentally took Itachi's virginity when they were in the bath together, and she slipped on some soap and landed on his manhood. I said no, my boy has been through enough trauma in his life XD.

Rtrlx: Well, I can understand where you are coming from. But at the same time, any good story focuses on other characters besides the MC, and shows their character growth as well, in order to make them their own person and not just tools for the MC to use. Sorry to disappoint, but I am trying to tell a story here. Besides, Itachi is the character most in focus in total in this story already. Especially with this entity that resurrected him seeming to have a plan involving him, Odin just discovered some major shit in regards to Itachi, and the Shinto Gods are watching him due to him having their powers. Besides, he awakens the EMS in the next arc anyway.

Guest: I can't really reveal anything, since that would be spoilers in regards to Damian and Jack's character arc. But I don't think I will disappoint you in that regard by overdoing with the shipping. Other than Itachi with his harem, Issei with his holy church trio plus some other girls along the way, Bob and Rossweisse, and like three other ships that I don't really feel like mentioning just yet. I haven't really given romantic relationships between many of the characters any thought.

Ryouta: Okay, google translate didn't really help me understand this review. I did get that it involved something with Itachi getting his Mangekyou. He will get Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan straight away when he awakens it, because he has Sasuke's eyes. And it will happen in the Hero Faction arc. Hope that answers whatever it was you were asking.

Jon1111: Thank you! Itachi may be intelligent, and a confident Shinobi, but even he has self-doubts and regrets like any other human.

majikss: Well, too late to do anything about that now, isn't it? Besides, feels like they are going to need to be that strong with what might be coming their way now.

ItachiTrueShinobi: Nice design, I like it. When Itachi shows his memories, I am going to try and include as much as possible from the two light novels, and from any scene in the Storm games that I find fitting.

Gwynx: Haha, thank you. If you consider the long list of harem Issei had in DxD I would say Itachi's harem is rather small in comparison.

Asier: Yeah, I agree Devil women are attracted to power and strength. And personally, I believe Itachi would marry into the Gremory family, let Rias be in charge of the family and let Sona take over as the head of the Sitri family. All because Itachi himself doesn't care to deal with the political side that comes with being a clan head. And I feel like he would want to live in the human world, and just get a regular job and enjoy the peaceful life with his wives and their children.

Guest: The version of Trigon in this story is the one that curbstomped the Justice League, and made Darkseid his bitch from the animated movies. Does that answer your question?

Zhelander: Sheesh, I don't know. Maybe the fact that Devils and humans aren't the same, thus the rules of human biology doesn't apply for devils. I don't know. It's all fiction anyway.

Shortmike24: Eh, I could. But I would like to think it has improved over the years anyway.

BradyBDaBeast: Yes, it was inspired by Arkham Knight. And thanks.

Guest: Yes, Eto is being a troll and Raven is lightly annoyed by it. Best of friends XD.

Guest: Here you go, sorry for the long wait. But I have exams and studies and such going on right now.

Ainz227: Glad to see you enjoying this story. But yes, Rias would solo Riser and his entire peerage. As for who of the Sins have not gotten any mutated pieces yet, it would be Eto, Kuroka and Damian.

Andrakon: Honestly, currently Itachi is way stronger than his old prime self. Even with just his regular Sharingan right now, with all his new skills like Touki modes, Senjutsu, Demonic power, magic, and his new weapons etc. I feel like he would pretty much solo the Akatsuki at this point. Itachi right now, seeing as he made a crater the size of the continent of Europe, granted Muspelheim has a fragile surface, he also destroyed a meteorite that was half the size of Earth's moon, and froze a large portion of Muspelheim into solid ice by just powering up, in his Touki speed mode he moves faster than the speed of light. I would say Itachi currently might rival Hashirama Senju. So, just imagine how strong he will be once he gets his EMS.

Guest: Sorry for the long wait. I've been busy with school work, exams and such.
