Chapter 55: Overwhelmed

The smell of alcohol and lust filled the party house. Lights and music exploded all over the place to hype up the males here to make them take out their wallets. Strippers on stage were teasing the audience by slowly removing articles of their clothing while swinging their curves. The physics of their boobs and ass shaking only arouse them further. Money kept flying towards them, begging for more.

We're in the VIP area. I can see a squad of women dancing while wiggling their bodies around on stage. Another stage has a bunch of pole dancers giving a view of how appealing of their thighs and butts, as well as some lap dancing to grind for boners. Whistles and wolf calls blared everywhere and those who can pay enough will have special after services lasting throughout the night.

"Hohohoho! Miss, mind pouring another glass for these lovely ladies?" Odin politely requested in a slightly drunken state, his arms slinging over two women on each of his sides.

"Of course." The waitress moaned from the old god cupping a feel of her bottom before procuring more liquor.

"See shitty geezer, what did I tell ya?" Azazel downed his drink before slowly unfolding the strap of a kimono, fully enjoying the pleasure of a japanese style whorehouse, "When in Japan, do what japanese do."

"At least you know how to entertain a guest brat. Hohohoho!"

Annoyance and exasperation growing within me yet I hold it in for the sake of the mission, and I'm starting to think this mission isn't exactly worth it. I was sitting quietly and despondently in the corner with Baraquiel and Rossweise. The former was controlling himself to not join the fun, doing his best to stay loyal to his deceased wife, which is pretty impressive considering that fallen angels don't have a good track record of holding back.

On the other hand, the latter was getting wasted after one single cup. Seeing the passion and concupiscence drove her into sulking jealousy, her speech slurred while complaining about normies and sex life. I simply rubbed her back, secretly switching her alcohol with normal water and simultaneously inducing a gentle genjutsu to calm her down. Didn't take long for Rossweise to be knocked out.

When Azazel told me to dress nicely to blend in with the crowd, I didn't expect this shit.

"Hey there handsome." My attention was shifted to a young beauty wearing a tight one piece dress and makeup. There's been a small group of strippers eyeing me predatorily and one of them finally approached me, the receptionist did warn me of this one as the 'Boy Eater'. "Mind show-"

"Sorry, I am married and not interested in other women."

"Aw~ Don't be like that." She cooed, staring straight into my blue Tenkugan eyes, "Your wife is out like a light, she doesn't need to know anything."

"Rossweise-san is an acquaintance, not my wife."

"That makes it even better, why not let your big sister take care-"

I slung the silverette's arm over me and swiftly executed a tactical retreat, my mood is already bad enough to flood the place with killing intent and I don't want to make any reckless blunders. I gently settled Rossweise on a chair and took a seat next to the still struggling Baraquiel, though not before noticing that same stripper smirking at me more intensely.

My magic reserves are already big enough to not make a dent from activating my doujutsu 24/7. After an hour, I still haven't felt any strain and resumed my surveillance, now if only I'm not watching this in HD and high frame rate. Knowing fate, it'll shit on me and we'll be assaulted the moment I let my guard down. Under the Governor General's jurisdiction, this place is operated by fallen angels in Kuoh. I can spot some of them keeping watch from a distance to protect the Chief God of the Norse and their leader, regularly switching out with the strippers to join in on the fun.

Maybe it was a good idea that Miho isn't here, she's highly vulnerable to the scent of alcohol alone, but Rias, Akeno and Koneko are not gonna be happy. Which leads me to my next thought process, "Someone please remind me why the fuck am I here again."

Azazel waltz to my side, "Lighten up Daisuke. If we're bodyguarding Odin, might as well have fun while we're at it."

"Let me rephrase that. Someone please remind me why the fuck am I here again when I'm 17. I'm underaged."

"Eh, old enough to blow up countries, old enough to marry, old enough for one-night stands." The perverted old crow casually answered while being served.

"Your presence ease the minds of the Norse." Momentarily recovering from his instinctual urges, Baraqiel answered politely and seriously, "Tales and feats of your accomplishment in such a short time impressed many factions, but the main factor is the emergence of your New Longinus. For the purpose of allowing their leader to travel so far with little protection, we guaranteed them to provide him our finest."

"And I have to follow him even to this joint?"

"What's the matter, afraid that you can't stay loyal to your lizard wife?" In his half drunken state, the old crow taunted me with a slightly reddened face, "What's to worry about if you bring in another woman? She's already given you approval for a harem-"

Tuning him out, I switched my vision... only to find another perverted old drunk. Odin was groping a tit in each hand, "(●ˇ∀ˇ●) Not having fun kid?"

"I want to go home."

"How about picking one of these fine ladies? I'll even be nice and let you choose first."

Hearing the god's invitation made the girls giggle, giving me suggestive winks to tempt me. I snorted and leaned back on my chair, my mate is way smuttier than them and I bang her on a daily basis. Whatever they can do isn't close enough to arouse me.

He sighed, waving his hand to ask the girls to leave for a while. Odin took another drink, "Come on kid, your emo-ness is making my drink go bad."

"Why do you think I'm emo in the first place."

"Such a wet blanket." His hand revolved slowly, the expensive booze glistening, "Here I thought you would go all out and grope these babies."

My soul aches... It really does...

"Whether you like it or not, you're a prominent figure among devils and a lot of expectations and responsibilities are on your shoulders. Even if you have been training since you were a baby, attaining this much reputation in a span of less than two decades is already considered nearly impossible. Would you believe me if I said you're the first person I've met who has a New Longinus?"

Blinking, "For real?"

"For real, those things are rare as fuck. Listen brat, with power, you earn yourself either adoration, fear, or both. You may be a child in devil standards now but once you enter the adult world, you'll be swarmed with business no other people would get. Some would even think you're a monster in disguise. While you're taking all this as fun and games now, work will be your new best friend. In other words, you bodyguarding me isn't only for the sake of the Norse, it's also for your kin."

"What's the point of having Rossweise-san then?"

"To put on airs that we're doing our best too. Though she may be like that," Odin thumbed at the still unconscious silverette, deadpanning at the drool flowing from the corner of her mouth, "she's still the best in her generation and everyone else is too busy working to get Valhalla in proper state from Khaos Brigade."

"Still, you said I'm a kid. I can take on Satan level enemies yet the number of who can do that as well aren't that few. Will everyone really put their faith in protecting you on a seventeen-year-old? I've heard of enemies who would possibly after you and they're not just anybody."

"That goes to show how much we're betting on this peace. Depending on a bunch of brats who are barely out of their diapers isn't ideal, though you and the Gremory princess' group are our best option for the time being. However, the higher your position, the harder you fall when you mess up. Best keep in mind how serious being famous is."

I rubbed the bridge of my nose, unsuccessfully soothing my headache, "I hate politics."

"Yet you were proud enough to protect your master from an arranged marriage." Dread filled my being as Odin's lecherous smile was directed towards me, "So, what's a married man doing with other women? I saw the way you tried helping that stacked black haired girl."

Baraquil stiffened, giving me his undivided attention, "Yes, I would like to know as well."

"We're just friends." I replied almost too hastily, resisting the urge yank the god's beard and yeet him for bringing this up, "Friends help each other. I also owe her for helping me with my magic."

"Doesn't seem like she feels the same way judging by the way she undresses you with her eyes."

"Akeno already knows how serious I am about Miho, our relationship is platonic."

"Regardless, you went out of your way to understand my daughter to help her... a little too much."

"My parents did say I can be too nice sometimes. Odin, wipe that stupid smirk already, I'm not aiming for a harem."

"You saaay that~" The old pervert whimsically sang out, oozing out aura that says he knows better, "Yet the way you treat your friends much nicer than the whores here. Don't be in denial."

Folding my arms, I gave up convincing them and went back to bodyguard mode.

"Did you at least give them a chance?"

That caught me off guard. And it caught me off guard more when it came from the papa bear himself, "What?"

"Azazel told me how much happier Akeno has been around you. Although I dislike it, harems are common in devil society and I would want what is best for her. Did you give Akeno and the others a chance to see the outcome? Or have you declined them without finding a possibly better future?"

I don't why but... my heart feels heavier, "How the hell can I break my vows to my wife? Why would I even try to see if a harem could work?"

"Because I was afraid back then, afraid that I could not give Shuri the best that she deserves. And I see a reflection of my past self in you."

Before I could speak, Odin cut in, "I've been with lots of women in my life kid, which is why I know those girls who would do anything for you are one in a million with just a glance. If you don't respond in kind, you'll regret not opening your heart to them. Lust is like a parade, it comes and goes to fill your life with excitement. In contrast, love is a home that warms you up and gives you a place to stay. You're not a man if you can't look at them in the eye of women who love you more than anything. They're doing everything they can to keep you close even when it hurts. Have you ever thought about why they would go so far for you?"

"Doesn't that apply to me as well? What about my feelings to go so far for Miho?"

"You are not wrong." Baraqiel replied, conflicted about the fact that he's actually going through with this yet putting his daughter's emotions first, "However, do you dislike your current situation?"

Having three additional girls seducing me and trying to get me to reciprocate day after day when I already have a wife? I've already made it clear and rejected them, yet they still went so much to be with me. The throbbing pain of not being with the one you love, I can understand that though half assing my dedication to other women with no genuine love will only hurt them more in the long run.

They're my friends, can be annoying and over the top sometimes. Regardless, I don't exactly dislike it.

"Seems like you got it rough kid. Well, you're still young and lively, take it easy and think about what you want."

"Aah..." Rossweise woke up, groaning while gently holding her head, "Why is my hangover so mild this time? Is it morning yet?"

"Do me a solid and make her go to sleep again. Ciao." Odin flipped into the air before proceeding to dive into a group of women, returning to his fun.

Deadpanning, I went to the valkyrie's side before the lesbians could almost drag her to somewhere quiet again.

We were traversing through the night sky, not by flying. Yuuto, Xenovia, Forcuis and Barqiel are doing the flying beside us. The rest of us are in a carriage spacious enough to comfortably carry us. And the real kicker is that the horse pulling us has eight legs, the mythical Sleipnir. He's a real big boy transporting us with not much effort.

After having a meeting to discuss the initial parts of the peace treaty, Odin wanted to go sightseeing in other places, like a sushi restaurant, a hostess bar, an amusement park, a hostess bar, a museum, a hostess bar, and more hostess bars. There are a lot more variety of hostess bars than I thought. Guess which underaged minor has to go inside with him.

Miho used a disinfectant spell on me to remove the traces of other women before rubbing herself on me for the fifth time, "Yosh, territory re-established."

At least having my mate cuddling me makes the hostess bars less stressful.

"My turn." Koneko snuggled to me next for the same purpose.

Rias and Akeno were highly tempted to do the same but refrained themselves because of professionalism and guilt respectively. The perverted old god was smirking at me while mouthing 'go for the pussies, and not just the white pussy', only to have his bodyguard slap his head with a fan.

Issei on the other hand, was being comforted by his girlfriend for not being able to go to the bars. Said girlfriend is secretly shifting her pupils to peer at Asia, doing the beckoning sign with her finger to draw more girls to her boyfriend. That fallen angel really knows how to spice it up to adult levels.

My hand went to instinctively pet the nekoshou as I surveyed everyone else. They were tired and irritated from being dragged everywhere to protect the Chielf God. He could've at least allowed me to enter the meeting room with the Japanese gods, I'm curious to know what they're like, pretty sure Amaterasu was there at least.

*HIHEEEEENN*

We nearly lurched forward in the wagon. Rias got up, more awake than before, "What happened? Is it an attack?"

I instantly went outside and stared at the intruder, creating five clones to keep our client safe. Floating above us was a handsome man wearing robes similar to Odin's .He has light blue hair that floats behind him with two small shoulder length bangs, three blue jewels on his forehead and yellow earrings. And he does not look friendly.

"Good evening Odin, it seems you are enjoying your stay in a foreign country."

Signaling Azazel with a silent nod, he flew up front to handle the talking while I stayed in front of everyone else. Our main offensive troops flew outside as well, waiting in anticipation. They gulped, knowing our next opponent is on a completely different level. Even Sleipnir was in an agitated posture.

"If it isn't Loki-dono, do you have any business with us? It is quite sudden of you to make an appearance in front of us."

"Nothing that concerns a fallen angel who will soon perish."

"Loki-dono!" Rossweisse glared, displaying an attitude befitting of her status, "What you said was out of line. Proper procedures are required should you wish to have a meeting with Odin-sama. Leave now or your actions are considered unforgiveable and traitorous."

"Do not speak as if you are superior, valkyrie. I am here to ask Odin whether he will continue this tomfoolery."

Said god rested his elbow at the window, gazing at the Evil God lazily, "Of course I am, they're way more fun than you. The Japanese Shinto are interested in our culture, and I'm interested in theirs. They're even better than you at acknowledging Yggdrasil."

"What do barbarians from the east know about Yggdrasil?" His vision roamed around towards us, towards the people associated with the biblical religion to be exact. His next words were laced with contempt and disgust, "These filth stepped into our holy grounds and spread the bible. You want to make peace with them?"

The Governor General cleared his throat, "The deceased God was the cause of that, there is no point in dragging up the past like this."

"There's plenty to enjoy in Japan Loki." Odin commented, earning back his attention, "They know how to dish up seafood called sushi and even try to make their own belgian waffles. Not to mention the good stuff they call hentai-"

A clone clamped his mouth shut from speaking further.

"Nonetheless for whatever reasons, you are stopping your own chief from completing his job." Azazel resumed, his hand already gripping his artificial gear, "Are you part of Khaos Bridgade?"

"Your feeble mind assumes I am connected with those foolish terrorists? I came here of my own volition to stop that old fool. Our ancient prestige proceeded through history and will continue to prosper, there is no room for collaboration with filth who do not know their place."

Rossweisse prepared her magic circles, lights of different colors and spectrum emanated, "Loki-dono, this is your last warning. Apologize for pointing your fangs at Odin-sama and leave, or you will have no place in Valhalla."

"Might as well save your breath Rossweisse. This hard head here has been breathing down my neck for a while and he's not gonna change his mind." The perverted old god didn't bother to keep the formality anymore, "Might as well expect fools to keep coming at me for everything I do now."

"You should listen to your god." Loki sneered in murderous glee, "Intimidating me will bring you nothing but regret."

Killing intent washed over us. The silverette lost concentration of her magic and everyone else was faring worse. Their bodies trembled and breathing accelerated to abnormal levels. The thick pressure crushing them was forcing them to falter in fear-

Until Azazel, Baraqiel, Odin, Miho, and I unleashed our own killing intent as a counter. Though barely for the latter two, the only reason why we're still fine is because we knew what to expect when Second tried to kill us.

So this is God-level power. The most I've ever done to Second was a straight punch to his jaw and now we got Loki, this won't be easy.

"Asia! Gya-suke!" Issei called out to her. The little Bishop almost collapsed if it weren't for Miho soothing the juniors. Not that the Pawn was doing much better, he and the others were still shaking a little.

"Hm, those two children... I did hear about a peculiar boy who has a New Longinus with a salamander." Loki gave us a cold brief glance, "You are different from what I imagined."

"Such hostility..." Shivering precluded Xenovia from gripping Durandal properly despite her wishes, "My body won't..."

"I suppose we can take this as a declaration of war?"

"Why Governor-dono, you can take it however you-"

"Futon: Taikyoku Rasengan!" I teleported to his flank, intending to drill through his solar plexus. The tiny compressed energy of blue wind pierced through, exploding forward into a slicing hurricane. The attack passed through his body as the storm tore across the sky, mirroring a sonic bullet of wind shooting through the horizon.

"Daisuke! Don't be hasty!" Azazel shouted, still on alert.

No way that could've worked, I didn't feel any resistance from the impact. Tenkugan and ki scanned the area but detected nothing. What gives? My gut says he's still here yet nothing's on my radar. No presence, no change in the air, no magic trails, nothing.

"Your prowess as described in the rumors may have some truth." A voice came behind me. I resisted the urge to gasp and saw that he's totally unscathed, the only change was that his opinion of me was slightly higher and he dusted the debris off his robe. One instant he was several meters in front of me, the next instant he was in my face, "Allow me to return the favor, boy."

A Norse magic circle formed to blow me apart. I summoned a triple layer defense with kaiten, susanoo ribcage, and buso, narrowly escaping from his spell albeit getting blown back. A flurry of assaults rushed towards Loki. Lightning, fire, Power of Destruction, Norse magic etc, they all came raining down on our enemy in all directions.

It was only for a moment, but I saw that he phased out from existence, a sort of advanced illusionary/evasion technique. Loki is known as a trickster in the legends, this guy is just toying with us.

Once the smoke abated, he appeared in a different location, amused by our efforts, "I see, the House of Gremory, Sekiryuutei, Aoi Arashi, and along with this many fallen angels, devils, and an angel. Were you this worried about an ambushed Odin?"

"Coming from you, I'd say it was pretty necessary. You never know when crazies like you will pop up."

"In that case, I would need to show my cards as well." With an exhilarating smirk, his robes fluttered as the space distorted.

"Now!"

Upon Azazel's signal, I channeled Space Burst and enveloped it around the Evil God's teleportation spell. My arm spasmed from the power. As I clenched my fist, the spacial rift was overpowered and forcefully shut. The opposing energies rebounded and caused a shockwave, though now preventing him from coming.

Miho quickly came to my side to support me while Asia healed my hand. My breathing was deep and slow, attempting to ease the backlash from my New Longinus.

Plan A was to swiftly take down Loki before he could call that wolf, which didn't work so now it's plan B - to force the space around us tightly shut so we can focus solely on the Evil God. I'm needed to be on standby for this plan to work so everyone else can fight.

Odin whistled, "I'll admit, that was clean."

"You underestimated our forces Loki-dono." Azazel smirked, Baraqiel by his side and ready to rumble, "You may be a god, though you can't expect everything to go your way. Surrender, you're outnumbered."

"Underestimated? Which of us are you referring to?"

That smirk was still on his face, and that did not bode well.

Before we knew it, a claw pierced through the space where the rift was. I sweated from the sheer absurdity, my heart pounded just from imagining what it would do, that thing wasn't even using any special techniques and he can still force his way through here, "Are you fucking serious?"

I quickly used Space Burst again before it could reopen the hole from its end. Using both hands this time, I tried to close it back only for the claw to tear through space as if it was paper.

A warm gust of wind squalled. From the pits of that teleportation spell, a paw emerged, then another, then a head. The biggest obstacle to our plan made a grand entrance, revealing his 10 meter tall body. Fenrir howled, sending vibrations everywhere, I can feel it all the way rattling my soul.

'Focus, stay focused! I can't afford to show an opening!'

Inclining my head up to monitor the ash grey wolf, I bit my lip to the point it bled, using the pain to not break under its killing intent. The more seasoned fighters are hanging on, but everyone else is crumbling down.

This time Odin had a pained expression, "Yup, should've known you'd bring him out..."

Loki patted the wolf as though he was a normal dog, "Yes Odin, you know who this is don't you. Fenrir, my adorable son, can easily kill any god with his fangs. Since you decided to bring so many players, it is only fair that I bring my own."

"Stand strong!" I shouted out loud in bravado to lessen my fear, hoping that my fighting spirit could convey to the others, "We've fought stronger enemies before and came out on top! And this time is no different! These guys came marching on our doorstep unannounced, it's time we give them a proper welcome they deserve! Time for some butt whooping!"

"Th-that's right!" Fortunately our King got her grip, "What gives them the right to rudely intrude like this!? Everyone, show them what it means to mess with the ORC!"

"Yes!"

"What simpletons." Smirking condescendingly, the Evil God pointed his finger towards the Chief God, "Fenrir, these uneducated mongrels are clinging onto false hopes. Make an example of that fool and show them your might."

The wolf zeroed in on Odin who was smiling wryly. Azazel in his Balance Breaker, Baraqiel, and Rossweisse struck Fenrir everything they got yet the attacks didn't make contact, he didn't even bother to spare a glance. Slowly, the wolf paced forward without any problems remaining air borne. Each step felt like the sky quaked from pressure.

And then he froze.

Gasper thrilled in joy, "I-I did it!"

Only for him to free himself and continue walking.

The joy disappeared, "No way! So easily!?"

Yuuto, Forcuis, Xenovia, and Irina charged in a four point formation and swung their swords. The tough hide wasn't so much as nicked, the force from their blades recoiled back to their arms and propelled them away. During that opening, Koneko utilized her senjutsu and jabbed his seemingly weak underside, she suffered the same fate.

"Issei!"

"Yes buchou! Promotion: Bishop!" Issei gathered as much demonic magic into his Dragon Shot as possible and Transferred additional energy from Rias, Akeno, Raynare. Along with Miho, they blasted the whirling masses of force straight to Fenrir's snout, wanting to injure him at least a little. Their expectations shattered when he was unscathed, "Seriously!? What is this thing made of!?"

Clones surrounded Odin, throwing whatever they could while one of them carried the old god away to gain some space. Fenrir stared as the clone made sure no one else was in his line of attack. Apparently, he wasn't in the mood to play with his food anymore, leaping towards his prey at the speed that a creature his size shouldn't have. The clones were destroyed from the shockwave, dissipating into nothingness.

Time slowed, no one could react, a claw closed in to sever Odin in two.

"HRRAAAAAAGGGHHHH!" Using both spacetime powers of my gear, I flashed through time and accumulated spatial prowess to my right leg, kicking his head away. Space contracted and pushed him away, the resulting rumbling was enough to shock Loki.

Finally, something worked on that damned wolf! Fenrir's frame was knocked back yet he quickly regained balance and skidded against the air to stop. He shook his head from the pain, his cool features replaced by one of astonishment.

I willed my wings to flap, doing my best to stay afloat with the double recoil, slapping a healing tag onto myself. I put everything I had into that shot and all it did was bruising him. Fuck, I've already used Spacetime Burst three times, one more and I'll be running on empty.

"Impossible!" Loki was livid, glaring at me with hatred for getting in his way, "There shouldn't be anyone here who can keep up with Fenrir!"

"To answer your previous question, it was you who underestimated us." Azazel had a shit eating grin, mostly to keep up a facade. He knows I'm nearing my limit and we're going for plan C - take down Loki before Fenrir can kill us. Although it differs slightly from the standard, the Evil God is the tamer and the wolf is the familiar. Our best bet now is to beat the former and hope the latter will go away, or at least more hesitant to murder us, "You're looking at the next Super Devil in the making, the same as the other two in the top 10."

Loki's blood vessels bulged in rage, "Fenrir, kill that boy fi-"

"Don't think so!"

Asia conjured five wide barriers around the Evil God with Miho using her threads to wrap around said barriers as reinforcement, trapping Loki and there's only one way in/out. Azazel, Baraqiel and Rossweisse went on the offense again, aiming for the single entrance. However, their enemy was intact, defended by his barrier type magic circles.

Fenrir growled, hurtling towards me with his claws and fangs brandished. Setting up my triple layer defense hardly did anything, it's weapons are highly concentrated for the sake of penetrative assassination powers. Just as it was about to split my head in half, the paralysis seals I secretly slapped on him the moment I kicked him activated, slowing him enough for me to bend back and dodge but not without receiving a gnash from the bridge of my nose to my right cheek, snapping my crimson gold visor.

'Can't afford to relax!' Manifesting my full body susanoo, I swung down the ethereal sword on his back. Whether luck was smiling upon me or he got caught off guard, Fenrir was launched downwards before he exerted pressure over his body, disintegrating the seal on him and jumped towards me.

'Watch him.'

The claws cleaved through susanoo's weapon.

'Closer.'

Tenkugan glowed briefly as Fenrir entered inside my avatar.

'Closer!'

Dream Sword made contact, getting cut without struggle.

"NOW!"

Supra Burst responded to my will, condensing as much energy into my arm. I parried his claw away albeit at the cost of destroying my Dream Sword into pieces, leaving me with only the handle.

"Daisuke!" Issei Transferred his accumulated power to me via a distance. Same as when we fought Vali, Issei's gear synergized with mine, being the parent gear of the Boosted Gear triggered a hidden mechanism, allowing me to squeeze out more power. My body was super charged, hot as fire.

Going hyper speed, I backflipped over Fenrir, channeling Space Burst into my leg once more while simultaneously creating a condensed wind shuriken on my left hand. The wolf took full force of my kick, flying towards the Evil God. Everyone got the signal and moved out of the way.

"Futon: Rasenshuriken!" The screeching wind of rotating sharpness whizzed past the crowd, hot on the wolf's trail. A boom of wind scattered everything as it travelled towards Loki.

"Is this the best you can do?." Unsatisfied by the development, Loki held us in disdain and phased out of the way-

[Half Dimension]

Until he was paralyzed for an instant by the sudden distortion. His face morphed into trepidation as the shuriken detonated. A spinning dome of wind blades exploded, enveloping the Evil God and Fenrir while lighting up the night sky. We covered our faces from the gale and braced from impact, watching the countless microscopic wind blades going against our enemies.

If there were any clouds before, the sky is completely clear now as far as the eye can see. The dome dissipated and the atmosphere stopped roaring. In the middle of the blast was Fenrir who looked like it was using the hair dryer for too long with a sore back, his fur puffed up comically that mismatched his title as one of the Top 10 Strongest. Loki on the other hand, was scarcely outside the radius, except part of his hand and robes were shredded.

Sweat poured out of my being, all I can hear is my heartbeat. I couldn't maintain my gear and almost couldn't stay in the air. Miho and Koneko came rushing to support me, the latter also healing my ki from overexertion.

Loki's vision went upwards to the newcomers, we followed suit to see Vali and his team. Their leader turned to me, "Good evening Tan Han Wei, I hope you do not mind me interrupting your fight."

"Holy crap, did you get stronger again?" Bikou flew down with his cloud, making the looking far gesture before chuckling, "Check out the doggie, bad hair day?"

The chuckle died the second Fenrir growled threateningly.

Seeing more people against him, Loki had agitated features, glaring at me before at Odin. However, that agitation slowly vanished, taking its place was a calm calculating smile, "So the Hakuryuukou has come as well. It certainly would be entertaining to fight this number of powerful opponents."

"That makes it easy for me to explain then. Loki, I have come to eliminate you. Do you wish to continue to fight in your state?"

"Do not underestimate me Hakuryuukou." Flexing his hand, the Evil God was ready to resume, "I would've liked to finish Aoi Arashi first, he does appear to be at his limit."

Everyone regrouped back into formation.

"However, I am satisfied for today." He and Fenrir practically melted into the environment, retreating yet his voice echoed for one last time, "But make no mistake. On the day of the meeting, I will return once more and bathe you all in your own blood."

We waited to ensure no potential sneak attacks. With how good that Evil God can conceal himself, we can't be too careful. After a while, we faced Vali's group. There was an awkward silence, enemies that betrayed or infiltrated our home turf. They did help in backing off a God-class enemy, though their combined strength isn't that far off either.

"Hey there Shirone! It's your favorite big sis! Did you miss me nya!?"

Until that silence was broken by a nekoshou.

"Are the two Heavenly Dragons gonna duke it out or what? I haven't seen them not using each other's arms as bats for this long in several centuries."

"No geezer, these two are unlike their predecessors." Azazel answered Odin, studying the former member from Grigori, "Hello Vali. Let me guess, you've been going around searching and fighting strong opponents."

"What else could quench my thirst for battle. I suppose you are still playing this peace with other factions."

"You know me, I could never resist meeting some exotic women. What else is better to accomplish that than making new friends?"

Judging by their nonchalance, the Governor General gave us the signal to land and discuss with them. Since it's late at night, there aren't any civilians wandering around the park.

"I will get straight to the point." Vali deactivated his armor, arms crossed confidently, "You cannot defeat Loki and Fenrir alone and since the Hero Faction is besieging around the world, you cannot afford to call more forces here for reinforcement."

"You've done your homework. You can't beat those two alone either, so you're saying you want to team up with us to defeat them?"

"Correct." He just announced a crazy proposal so naturally, ignoring the visages of disbelief behind Azazel.

"Enough of your insolence!" Stepping up was Forcuis, he had hints of entering combat at any notice, "Have you forgotten your treachery towards Grigori? And yet you have the stomach to return demanding help from the people who were your allies."

"Here I thought you were the rational one. If you wish to die by my hands then by all means, come."

Raynare's fingers twitched to fire her arrows, she was acting worse than the other fallens, "Why not we start? I've been meaning to shoot an arrow through that cocky smirk and inject you full of light poisoning."

"Forcuis, Raynare, don't let him egg you." I walked as normally as I could, still suffering from the aches and spasms. Memories of them manipulated by Kokabiel left deep impressions on them, "I know what he's committed but let him finish explaining."

"Are you sure about this Daisuke? I'm siding with them this time, this bastard threatened to kill my parents just because he wanted to have a death match against me."

Miho frowned at Vali's group, especially when Kuroka blew her a raspberry, "Hanwei-sama, please forgive my rudeness but they are too much of a risk."

"Then I will reiterate my proposal. Cooperate with us or we hold no responsibility should you fall from the crossfire."

"Quite a lot of nerve of you to announce that." Our King did not like the sound of that.

[BWAAAAAPPPPP]

Before the fight could break out, Azazel pulled out an airhorn to shut us up, "Okay, how about you kids let the adults negotiate this one. Vali, I've known you long enough to know you have an ulterior motive. What is it that you really want?"

"Our desire is to fight Loki and Fenrir, is that not a good enough reason? Each of us alone are capable of challenging even Satans and we all agreed to have an armistice with you until the fight ends."

No hints of lies, though that doesn't mean he's telling everything. If they're really serious about a truce, we'll get a massive boost in firepower. On the other hand, we'll be wiped out from both the front and back if they're lying. The fact that they're affiliated with Khaos Brigade is a major concern as well.

"I alone can't decide this, you can stay for a while while we contact Sirzechs and Michael. Old geezer, do you mind having terrorists within our perimeters and potentially working with them."

"Beggars can't be choosers, we got no more backup and the Hakuryuukou did help repelling that fool. Aoi Arashi, what's your take on this?"

My eyebrow rose in confusion, "You're asking for my opinion?"

"Like I said the other day, you're a huge figure and also an important one even as a brat. Besides, you know them better than me and you're the only child here who can take down the Hakuryuukou if we're busy with something else."

They paid full attention to me, wary of Vali and his group. I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose, "To be honest, I don't believe that they're not plotting anything for another objective. However, Loki might have a countermeasure after analyzing the last fight. Vali is man of his word and has the pride of a proud dragon, not to mention he did save me a few weeks ago. If he says he won't betray us, I'll trust him for now."

"There we have it." Azazel grinned, almost too happily from the bottom of his heart, "Welcome aboard, you'll be under strict surveillance by the way."

"Of course, you may do as you please, and so shall we."

"Nyaaa! Soft soft sofa! I've been waiting too long for this nya!"

"Hm, delicious! Meat, chicken, they're all good! Waiter, get me more pudding and- gah! Water!"

"Documentaries, sports matches, weather news, Oppai Dragon- Wait, what are those terms Issei Hyoudou is saying? 'Flat is justice'? "Medium is premium'?"

"How convenient, this hotel also has various shops of such quality. These new pastries would go very well with tea."

All of us deadpanned at the terrorists mooching off the hotel's resources. Rias blankly questioned, "Was the real reason of forming an alliance with us just to live a luxury life?"

"Hey, you try living in the wilderness away from civilization for a few weeks! Now where was I? SOFA MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE NYA!"

"Is it me? Or is the tension drained away just like that."

"No Shidou-san, we feel the same." Sona-kaichou held her head with her hand, moving her chess piece, "I still remain flabbergasted as to why we're allowing them this much freedom."

Tomoe attempted to pacify, "Well, I can't say I don't understand them. We were checking the hotel everywhere too when we first visited."

"At least they're not causing trouble for the other customers." I checkmated Sona, "That's one win for me and two for you."

"Koneko-chan's older sister has some really good oppai."

"Hyoudou, she's an enemy... though I can't deny that those are huge."

The Pawns clamped up when the white haired nekoshou were staring at them coldly.

"K-Kiba-kun, wh-what do you think o-of the situation?"

"We cannot let our guards down. Hanwei-kun may believe in this alliance but we do not know what they are thinking. Are you perhaps anxious around them Shinra-senpai? You seem quite restless."

"You guys actually fought one of the Top 10 Strongest? Was it really that strong?"

"We didn't so much as divert its attention, much less fought. Hanwei did most of the heavy lifting."

Xenovia expressed with a hint of disappointment to Ruruko. Alicia got wind of what happened, apprehensively asking the pinkette, "Miho-sama, how will we win against a foe that strong?"

"I do not know." That only gave her more worries, "Regardless, we will not give up. Surely victory will be ours just as we have always fought for."

Azazel entered the lobby, "Alright, I got in contact with the leaders. Michael was hesitant in letting you in until I told him Daisuke and Odin are fine with it."

Yeesh, my words really do have a lot of weight in them.

"Sirzechs on the other hand, has no qualms. With Team Vali so close, we'll be able to monitor them to make sure they're not up to anything. Now we need to think of countermeasures against Loki and Fenrir. For that, we're gonna need the help of the dragons here."

"Hold on." Saji looked left and right, pointing himself timidly, "Does that mean me as well?"

"That's right, we'll also need Vitra's presence. Along with Fafnir, Tannin-dono, and the Two Heavenly Dragons, it's possible for us to make contact with Midgardsormr to ask for information regarding what we need."

"Midgardsormr? He's also one of the Dragon Kings right? Can I come?"

"No, you're staying to make sure nobody here tries to kill each other."

"Really? You drag me to hostess bars and whorehouses yet I can't come to see the cool powerful figures?"

"Somebody has to stay and keep the other terrorists in check. Baraqiel's got other business and needs to make phone calls to Grigori. Moreover, you're still on bodyguard duty for the old geezer."

"Don't worry, you're not missing out much." Odin sat on the massage chair, "He's just an overgrown garden snake who only sleeps at the bottom of the ocean in North Europe until Ragnarok occurs."

Stuffing his face with food, Bikou walked up next to me, "What's there to worry about? That wolf will be down before you know it if you ask for help from Great Re- GWOH!"

I elbowed the monkey youkai before he could stupidly blurt out highly classified information, rendering him choke from his meal.

"Well then Daisuke, you're in charge unless it's peerage-related matters. By the way, Gabriel said she found a new mobile game and wants to team up with you to play next time. You three, let's go. We're going to fish ourselves up a dragon."

As the Governor General brought them elsewhere, I gazed at my King, "Should we take turns and rotate who'll be watching them?"

"Why are you asking me? You're in charge." My palm met my forehead. Rias giggled teasingly at my plight despite the bit of forlorn of not being strong enough to be in charge, "It'll be a good experience for you when you become a King in the future."

"Last I checked, reincarnated devils don't get promoted to High-class until they've matured into full adult devils."

"Although rare, it is still possible for you to become Mid-class." The near end of Season 4 popped into my mind. "Go on, Sona and I can step in if there's anything."

"... Alright." I sighed in exhaustion already.

Bikou recovered and slid to my side, a playful aura plastered all over him, "Arashi, can I use the pool on the roof?"

"You don't waste time, do you? There better not be any fur in the pool." He cheered while I turned to Dohnaseek, "Could you send someone to supervise each of the members of Team Vali? And also be mindful of the security cameras, make sure none of them bug the place mechanically or magically. Alert to me, Forcuis, Azazel, or Baraqiel should something happen."

"Can't believe I'm taking orders from a brat." The fallen angel receptionist grumbled yet did as I told.

Irina raised her hand.

It took me a couple seconds to figure out she was asking the guy in charge something, "Yeah?"

"Can I keep watch on Arthur-san? I also want to ask about his holy sword."

"Go ahead."

The reincarnated angel energetically brought up the topic of their swords with the wielder of Caliburn. Honestly, he's the most well behaved member of Team Vali yet also arguably the most powerful besides, probably on par with his leader's Juggernaut Drive.

"Amazing! So this is the last fragment of Excalibur?"

"Yes. By accessing the information from my family as well as Vali's personal connections, we were able to secure it. Of course, I cannot reveal the location so easily."

"The Church thought it was lost for good, it really does give the same aura as the other fragments. Do you use it as much as with Caliburn?"

"Not quite. Although I occasionally brandish it against weaker opponents, I am more adapted to my main weapon. The sensation and compatibility are more natural to me."

Meh, I'm sure Irina will be fine. Yuuto and Xenovia are listening in on their conversation of swords anyway, they can back her up just in case. Now all that's left is-

Two large mounds were on my back. At first I thought it was Akeno since she has a tendency for this (more than the other girls) until I saw the four were startled in front of me, "=￣ω￣= Nyaa~ We meet again Groper-chan."

I was about to shake her off until Kuroka hopped away from the incoming fire threads. She circled around, hugging my front this time, "Groper-chan, your Lizard-chan is bullying me nya."

"Housecat! Release your grasp from my danna-sama!"

"Don't wanna. He has hunky muscles, it makes me feel good nya."

Before she could react, I grabbed the scruff of her kimono and lifted her up, holding her similar to holding a cat by its neck, "Kuroka, don't antagonize my mate."

"Aw, I'm not antagonizing her handsome. I just want you to knock me up nya."

"Daisuke-senpai, I suggest we let nee-sama sleep outside tonight."

"How cruel Shirone, don't you want to share your boytoy with me?"

"The garbage dump has soft bags to sleep on, the fleas can also keep nee-sama company."

"What about your offer of letting me stay with Shirone nya?" Kuroka narrowed her eyes naughtily, "Don't you remember? You said I can come onto you nya."

"You made the last one up."

"Same difference, no one ever offered this poor little kitty a home you know. I'm following Vali since he's always doing fun stuff and has the genes of a dragon nya. Now getting to know you, I think I'd rather get wet for you."

"Didn't you hate me for preventing you from kidnapping Koneko?"

"For a little while, I got over that after seeing her happy and more expressive. What a good caretaker, and you even trust me enough to grant me a warm place to stay. What is this feeling? I've never felt anything like this before nya." Kuroka batted her eyelashes, a warm sprinkle of youth and innocence gushed from her, "Is this... love?"

"You honestly believe I would fall for that?"

"Worth a try." The illusion of her innocence as a pure maiden was gone. A moment later, she slipped out of my hold and suddenly licked my cheek, "How about some hate fucking then? An experienced man such as yourself needs more than vanilla to stay satisfied nya~"

Due to her unexpected move, the nekoshou was able to get another lick to my cheek as I was stunned, "Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel good. Forget hate fucking, you can use me as your personal toilet nya."

Miho finally lost it and hunted the cackling black cat.

"My goodness..." A sigh escaped from my mate's lips, snuggling up to my naked body, "What has come over to that Housecat? I know danna-sama is a very desirable male but she was overly crass."

"Pretty sure I remembered her saying something about a strong child in the anime." Enjoying the sensation of her tits on me, I played with her hair a bit, the part that wasn't drenched in our fluids anyway. We snuck into our love nest and went wilder than normal, at least Miho's calmed down, "Knowing the nature of the show, she'd probably turn good just because she's hot."

"However, I do not approve of her, at least not for now. An assessment of her trust is necessary." The pinkette began rubbing herself against me, a flirtatious visage returned while she licked her lips, "Now danna-sama, how about the fourth round?"

"Maybe we should cut short for a while."

She almost blanked out, "E-eh? Why?"

"The next big fight is soon, and it'll be the biggest one yet. Taking it easy and focusing more on training would be best for now." The cute salamander pouted, tickling my instincts to spoil her but I pulled through. I chuckled, kissing her deeply to remedy her mood, "How about this? Once the fight is over, I'll plough you as much as you want. I'll keep forcing it on you even when you can't move anymore."

After getting to know the dirty side of my mate, I realized that I need to fuck her silly or she would get on top and fuck me silly. Either way, it involves a lot of rough fucking though I could control the pace in case of the former.

And that did the trick, Miho's went silent as she imagined the possible scenarios she can request from me. She had a small yet salacious smile, "Promise?"

"I swear it on your personal meat stick."

Her lust was replaced by the usual pure love as she kissed me, "I look forward to it. Do you wish to shower together?"

"Better not, we always continue where we left off when we're wet and naked."

Miho giggled before cleaning herself up. With me alone in the bed, I stretched a bit before rising up. It wasn't even two seconds later that I felt a pleasurable sensation behind me. I was about to break my own promise of restraining until I noticed the boobs on me were different.

Widening my eyes, I twisted around to discover Akeno in her birthday suit, completely bare with her flawless voluptuous body. Before I could finish a sentence, she enveloped me with her body, the tip of my manhood positioned literally just below her womanhood.

'Oi! This is seriously bad, one little slip up and we might actually do it!'

"Daisuke-kun, I'm so sorry but please honor my request."

I gulped, the blood rushing downwards despite my protests. Already knowing what she's here for, her next words only weighed more panic onto my mind. Never did it cross my mind that she could find this secret room. The consequences of what we're going to do could never be undone.

"Make love to me."

HalflingRunner: Oh something is thickening all right.

SparkyGaming: A simple compliment is fine. At least I'll know I did something right.

AN: Hello again everyone. I'll be having exams again along with a bunch of other stuff, so no updates for a few months. I'm going through life in stages to face reality, A.K.A., my dog is nearing his lifespan. At least he lived quite a long life so I'm handling it somewhat better than my dad's passing. Well, hope you all like the chapter. Please leave a review and tell me what you think.
