Previously we saw the teams preparing for the youth devil gathering to which everyone was invited, a day before going Asia explains her nervousness as to why she must attend given that Diodara Astaroth might be present, he consoled her saying that he will always protect her even from him as well. The next day before going to the gathering, he encounters both Lord and Lady Gremory who profusely apologize for their daughter's actions not only in the previous timeline but also in the current one as well, they informed him that Rias will be staying far away from them. When the youth gathering began, everyone had headed to the place where the young devils and heiress gather, which was chaotic to say the least, after a fight between the heirs of Glaslya Labalos and Agares were intervened by Saiaorg Bael, Asia trips into the aforementioned Diodara Astaroth, she immediately jolts away as she remembers who he was, Issei protects her and tells him to stay away, when he doesn't comply and mocks him, Issei punches him through a wall breaking his nose as a result, knocking him out, much to everyone's shock, after informing Saiaorg that a match between the him and Issei will happen in the near future. Issei notices Koneko running away, he is then noticed by both Sona and Rias who follow him, they then notice Koneko talking to none other than Kuroka who wanted the former to come with her so that she can stay away from Rias, after meeting Issei and Sona who she was happy to do so, she calls Rias out on what she did, and exposes that she is no longer a stray devil. After a comical conversation between them, they notice a sudden change in aura, which implied that he is here, God of Mischief Loki, they immediately rush to deal with the situation. A few minutes earlier, after the trio leave the norse along with the monster faction show up along with the queen of monsters, Toriel Dreemurr. But before they could sign the treaty the Norse god Loki attacks them along with his children and Grand Children, he is later accompanied by Nilreim's leader and the brother of Grayfia Lucifuge, Euclid Lucifuge, shocking everyone and leaving a devastated Grayfia. Thankfully Ajuka seals them away before they could do any damage to the devils or the people gathered here. Issei then comes in with the Vali team and Rias, Sona and Koneko, they tell them that he and their peerages are the ones that will go and defeat Loki and Euclid. After that Issei and Rosswiese have a reunion after so long, they then encounter Toriel who was patiently waiting, Issei told the duo all the changes that had happened so far, Toriel then asked him that whether she can meet her children, to which Issei easily allowed her to do so. After a tearful reunion both Rosswiese and Issei leave the trio to catch up. They then encounter Asgore, who asks for Issei's improvements so far, on hearing this, he asks Issei for a small spar, who agrees so that he could test his skill.
Few hours before the fight, Youth devil gathering hall
Issei and Vali can be seen looking at the teams, they were fighting against each both the leaders were sweat dropping, Kuroka can be seen taunting Raynare, Bikou is taunting Tiamat who is basically on the verge of tearing the monkey yokai apart, Arthur is mocking Chara and Flowey who is constantly using Friendliness pellets to damage the Pendragon heir along with Chara slashing at him, while Le Fay was teasing Asia who was on the verge of tears
Issei: I knew we didn't get along back then
Vali: But even now, we are still chaotic
Issei and Vali sighed they did not know what they needed to do, that's when Rosswiese showed up
Rosswiese: Alright maggots, we have a god and ultimate class devil to deal with, so stop BICKERING AND GROW UP!!!!!
That alone made everyone quiet and they all went back to their rooms. Rosswiese gave a thumbs up and left the duo who had their jaws dropped
Both Vali and Issei: She needs to teach that to us
*Scene Break*
Issei and the others start to get ready to fight against Loki and Euclid at the same time, they all knew that this would be the fight of their lives, even Rosswiese volunteered to join the fight, she was ready for some action. They all were teleported to the location where Ajuka had sealed away the Norse God and the Devil of Lucifuge family. Issei and the others were watching the seal start to break and it eventually had broken revealing a very furious Loki and Euclid.
Loki: That damned Belzebub, his seals were so annoying to break through
Euclid: But look here, those fools sent us these children to fight us.
Loki: Looks like I can summon Ragnarök, much faster and much quicker.
Issei: Not on my watch, you will try
Euclid: Ah if it isn't the infamous red dragon emperor, the same one that has been ruining our plans so far, and Vali you should be fighting alongside us not these mewling squirms, your grandfather is on our side
Vali: I will never fight with that asshole that ruined my childhood, he can go to hell for all I care about.
Euclid: You will not talk about Lord Rizevim like this you half breed.
Euclid in response fires a magical blast at Vali who easily divides it out of nothingness. The others then in response begin their assault on the two attackers who were actually staggering a bit against them, especially against Issei, Loki then summons Fenrir along with Hati and Skoll, with summoning the midguard serpent as well. While Euclid summons most of Nilreim magicians to assist him, which pushed back the teams. They were told to stall Loki so that Odin can send Mjolnir to seal Loki once and for all
Flashback
Odin: I take full responsibility, but to deal with Loki I have a plan
Sirzechs: What is it Lord Odin?
Odin: I will ask Thor to send Mjolnir, as that weapon can only seal away Loki, the only person that is capable of wielding the Mjolnir is the red dragon emperor
Azazel: I see
Issei: So I will be a key in stopping Loki, very well leave this to us Lord Odin, we will take him down
Odin: I am sorry for the trouble he caused
Raynare: It is not your fault, you tried your best in raising him, his choices are made by his own free will
Odin: Thank you red dragon
Issei: Not a problem, Lord Odin
Flashback ends
Issei: We need to hold them off for a while, Vali, Arthur try to get Fenrir to your side, deal with him first, since he is the main threat. The Sitri peerage and the Gremory peerage should be able to deal with Hati and Skoll. Rias and Sona deal with the midguard serpent. While me and Vali team will deal with God and Nilreim forces.
All: Got it Ise
Issei: Alright everyone let's rock
Issei and his team, Rosswiese along with Vali team are heading to dealing with Loki and Euclid and his team.
Rosswiese: Lord Loki, please go back Lord Odin would forgive you, you are making a mistake
Loki: I am stopping him from making a mistake
Rosswiese: Looks like there is no getting through you then
They begin their battle, Vali team and Issei were dealing with Nilreim magicians, they managed to defeat most of them with relative ease, those magicians were at least doing their work in slowing them, that was when a big player showed up
???: Ah it must be the fools you asked to me to deal with
Euclid: Indeed Walburga, we need to find the soul of determination and capture him alive
Walburga: Leave it to me then
A lady in her early 20s with short hair adorned with numerous ribbons. She wears a purple Gothic lolita outfit. Issei recognizes her immediately
Issei: Walburga!!!
Walburga: It seems like you recognize me Red Dragon, I must be really popular
Issei remembered who she is, she was a real thorn, persistent in achieving what she wanted and manage to get that as well, she fled like a coward when things did not go well, she was really sadistic in nature as well in dealing with her enemies as well.
Issei then begins his fight with Euclid and Walburga, both using their magic to hold the Dragon god at bay, he managed to keep them under check with his barage of punches and managed to pierce through most of their attacks, and the barriers that they created. They were shocked that he not only seemed like a seasoned fighter but also a veteran.
Walburga: We need to retreat Lord Euclid
Euclid: Seems like we have no choice, red dragon we will be back and we will find the soul no matter what and give it to our Lord Rizevim
Issei: You will dry trying and tell Rizevim to suck my ass.
Euclid wanted to kill Issei for insulting Rizevim but Walburga forced teleported them out of there, leaving Loki alone with his children.
Loki: Damn that coward, leaving me alone with these squirms
Issei: You are right on that one, they are nothing but cowards after all.
With Vali and Arthur
Vali and Arthur could be seen dealing with Fenrir who had worn a blue collar struggling to escape from it's grasp, they knew that they had to free Fenrir first before bringing the dog to their side.
Vail: Alright Arthur, I will focus on the dog, try removing the collar on his neck, that's what is controlling him.
Arthur: Should I use Caliburn, to control him
Vali: Only if necessary, now let's help him
Both charge at the dog who was being controlled by the collar, they knew that the collar must come off first, the dog was able to keep up with Arthur and his slashes while at the same time he was able to hold off Vali who was in his balance breaker trying his best to get the collar off from Fenrir's neck
Fenrir growled at the duo and constantly lunged at them in an attempt to kill them before they could get rid of it's collar, Fenrir at the same time struggled to get the collar of him, but a controlled shock forced it to get into it's rage filled state, that was when Vali came up with an Idea.
Vali: I gotta use Half Dimension, only then we can get the collar off
Albion: But Vali, this might hurt you as well
Vali: It is the least we could do, I am not leaving Fenrir with Loki
Vali then used Half dimension on Fenrir, he managed to successfully reduce it's size to that of a regular house. Fenrir was dazed giving Arthur enough time to use Caliburn to cut the collar of his body, after which he comes back to his senses, and recognizes both Vali and Arthur. Fenrir jumps at Vali licking him, he missed him for so long
Vali: I missed you two boy, now let's regroup with the others in order to defeat Loki.
Fenrir and Arthur both agree and join the others, he sure as hell wants to get back at his 'father' for subjugating him, they all encounter Rias and Sona dealing with the Midgard serpent.
*Scene Change*
With Sona's peerage and Gremory peerage along with Tiamat,
Issei had asked Tiamat to assist the peerages in dealing with the other two wolves Hati and Skoll given that they are as powerful as Fenrir and the peerages might not be able to handle them. Tiamat willingly agreed as she single handedly was taking care of one wolf, while the peerages were taking the other wolf down.
Hati was constantly growling at the Dragon king as she was able to take his attacks without any effort, Tiamat on the other hand was enjoying toying with the wolf, while at the same time she was easily evading his attacks, she knew that if these two were to fight her master, they would have been goners by then.
Tiamat: Is that all you got you runt?
Hati growled at the Dragon who went on the offensive to deal with it, Tiamat on feeling bored decides to go all out
Tiamat: Are you done? Now it is my turn.
Tiamat then lunged at the wolf at used her strength to easily break the wolf's jaw, she then used her claws to tear the wolves flesh apart, the wolf screamed in agony as she proceeded to rip the flesh from his body apart. Tiamat then used connected her hands and slammed on the wolf's abdomen cracking it causing it to cough out blood, the wolf was unable to keep up with the beatdown that Tiamat was giving it, who was punching him endlessly breaking a bone or causing it severe external and internal bleeding, eventually the wolf passed out from the blood loss and damage to it's body
Tiamat: Huh, how dissapointing, I wonder how the peerages are doing against Skoll.
Tiamat then looks that the peerages combined effort were able to do some serious damage to the second wolf as well with the rooks easily holding onto to the wolf while at the same time the knights were able to chaff through it's high defenses, while the bishops kept firing their magic at the wolf, dealing severe damage to them, they then dealt with holding the wolf down while the hard hitters like Koneko were able to punch his jaw so hard that it had been dislocated, the wolf staggered but was unable to recover from the punches the nekomata gave him, she even used her senjutsu to deal massive damage to it, causing it to fall. Saji then used his absorption line to prevent the wolf from moving, he was assisted by Gasper who used his forbidden balor view to stop him in it's tracks
Saji: I got you, now not even you can escape from my abilities. Everyone end this fight.
The rooks kept punching and haymaking the wolf, the bishops kept firing at him causing severe wounds on his entire body while the Kiba and the other knights used their swords to cut through the wolf, causing severe cuts and broken flesh from it's wounds. Saji kept draining his strength preventing it from moving much or using any of it's abilities. Eventually the wolf passed out from the exhaustion with him being unable to keep up with all the attacks.
The others were exhausted but knew that the fight must go on, Loki and the others are still out there and they cannot rest until he is stopped. They are joined by Tiamat who congratulates them for their victory.
Tiamat: Now let's help the others, we have a puny god to beat
All: Yeah
*Scene Change*
With Rias and Sona and their queens,
Rias and Sona along with their queens look at the Midgard serpent, they knew that it would be an intense battle.
Rias: So this seems to be our opponent, must be interesting.
Sona: Rias don't falter, it is not to be taken lightly.
The Midgard serpent attacks them but Tsubaki easily uses her mirror alice ability to deflect the attack towards it who was able to take the attack. Akeno used her holy lightning to damage the skin of the serpent while unable for it to be able to move for a while. Rias used her Power of Destruction to deal with most of the damage on them, causing the snake to falter in it's defense.
Having enough the snake uses it's tail to deflect the attacks and send all the girls flying at different directions they were unable to deal with it's massive strength resulting in them getting injured, even though they recover the Midgard serpent uses it's power to keep the girls at bay, that was when a voice was heard
Divide
The Midgard serpent was losing it's power, Fenrir then lunged at the serpent and dealt a massive blow to it's body making it unable to regenerate itself, Arthur then used Caliburn to pierce it's internal flesh causing it to bleed, resulting in the serpent screaming at them.
Vali: Are you girls alright?
Sona: Yeah most of us are fine, it is only minor injuries, we will only use the Phenex tears if needed. What about you Rias?
Rias: Some scratches that's it
Akeno and Tsubaki also gave their Thumbs up given the injuries were not too severe.
Vali: Now let's deal with this once and for all.
All the girls agree to it and fire at it the wound which was created by Fenrir, they all then manage to focus all their attacks at it causing the wound to start increasing to a near fatal level. The Serpent tried to fight back but it is not able to muster enough strength to do so.
Arthur: It is time to end this
Arthur uses Caliburn to skillfully and gracefully cut the Midgard serpent to pieces, the now revealed copy of the original serpent was unable to keep up and eventually was defeated by the group's combined assault
*Scene Change*
With Issei's team and remnants of Vali team
Issei and the others were battling against Loki, Flowey was able to keep the Mad god in his place making him unable to escape, Raynare was using her light spears and her spear storm ability to graze the god multiple times resulting in severe wounds to his body. Kuroka used Touki and Bikou used his staff to badly injure him. Le Fay used a plethera of spells to damage the norse god, which included some god slaying spells as well.
Loki: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Loki screamed in agony as the spells managed to pierce his body and deal severe damage to him, his chances of victory are looking slim to none, given that he is dealing with a Dragon god, a four winged fallen, a flower, two humans, a valkyrie and two Yokai at the same time.
Loki: I will not lose, especially to you meddling kids.
Issei: Hah, look at the puny god, trying to struggle.
Loki: I am not PUNY!!!!!!!!!
Loki then notices the collar on Fenrir's neck is removed, both the grandchildren are on the floor unconscious and the copy of Midgard serpent is defeated, Loki is now in shock and anger to see him lose like this.
Issei: The Ragnarök will never happen Loki, You have lost
Loki: Nooooooo, Nooooooooo, YOU MUST DIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Loki fires a barrage of attacks at the group who manage to defend themselves, Rosswiese and Raynare use their defensive magic
(A/N: Replace Irina with Raynare)
Fenrir was shielding Asia against the attacks, while Arthur and Kiba were slashing at the attack directly. Chara on seeing him open lashes at him with an intention to strike him down
Issei: Chara NO!!!!!!
Loki on seeing this fires a point blank blast to her stomach causing her to stagger and fall, he then continues to punch her ribs breaking some of it, Chara falls back because of it. Loki then kicks her to the rock. Thankfully Asia and Fenrir are nearby
Loki: Now this human shall die.
Issei: CHARRAAAAAA, LOKIIIIII LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!
Loki fires a blast at the human, but then all of a sudden a green shield forms around her, it is revealed that Asia was the one to erect her shield, Fenrir was next to her to shield her incase her shield broke. Asia was in her balance breaker armor, her desire to protect her family is what pushed her to finally unlock her Twilight Saint Affection armor, her balance breaker along with her soul trait, Kindness
Loki: The soul of Kindness how?
Issei: Heh looks like Asia unlocked her soul trait, now Loki you will pay for hurting my sister, Flowey you in
Flowey: Heck yeah, let's send this god to kingdom come
Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker
Flowey transforms into his omega form, which consisted of a grotesque, flower-shaped hybrid of plant tissue, human organs, and machinery. Consisting entirely of rendered images, Photoshop Flowey is stylistically different from anything else in the game.
The middle of his body has a contorted human face with two mandibles on the bottom and a TV monitor on top. The pixelated face has sideways eyes that flash red and green, and a big mouth with large, blocky teeth. The face can also escape the screen when it laughs, as the mouth seems to pop out of the bottom. Around the monitor and face are 6 curved pipes, one for each soul that resemble the petals of Flowey's normal form, and the areas inside flash the colors of the souls when the protagonist is about to encounter one. The second row also has a floating pair of eyeballs inside of them. On either side of the main body is more pipes connected to long cactus-like appendages that perpetually move out from the body. Further down are more vine-covered cacti that have been shaped into arms, with three thorns on each hand acting as fingers or claws.
Everyone understood why he did not want to show this form to the world, it was kind of disgusted, Asia nearly hurled up on seeing this form, she was nit used to seeing Human organs of all things. Issei then made a mental note to only reveal this from when it is absolutely necessary else do not
Flowey saw all the reactions and knew he made the right choice to keep this form hidden, only Issei and Chara had a normal look, else everybody either had a shocked, surprised or a disgusted face.
Issei: Alright Flowey let's send this god to kingdom come
Omega Flowey: Indeed big brother, nobody hurts my family
Issei then summoned Durandal
Blade
He then held the Durandal and lunged at the god, Loki tried to use his magic to hold the attacker off, but suddenly vines started to surround him preventing his escape, Flowey had surrounded the norse god with Vines, Issei uses Durandal to cause severe wounds on his body, Flowey then summons multiple missiles which explode on his face damaging him and causing severe burns and cauterized every wound he had so far
Loki: AAAHAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Loki's wounds sizzled as his wounds were being sealed away, Issei used extinction ray in multiple directions causing severe pain to the norse god, Flowey also summoned buzzsaws made out of grass to gut Loki severely, making him unable to escape, the adrenaline was keeping him from passing out.
Flowey then used several vines to hold him in place preventing him from doing anything, Issei then used Welsh Dragon Flare, to burn the god while at the same time preventing any damage to Flowey, Issei then used Annihilation Barrage to damage Loki's body and cause severe wounds to his body.
Loki: PLEASE STOP HAVE MERCY!!!!! YOU TWO!!!!!!
Thankfully Loki's pleas were heard when a hammer showed up, this was Mjolnir a weapon sent by Thor to seal away Loki, Issei then grabbed the hammer and slammed it on Loki, effectively defeating Loki and sealing him away
Issei: Your wish shall be granted Loki
Loki: CURSE YOU RED DRAGON, CURSE YOU DAMN FLOWERRRRR!!!!!!
Issei: It's over Loki
With that Loki is sent away to Asgard prison and is immediately locked up. Issei sits back, he realized that he went a little too far with that, but his focus was on Chara. Luckily, Phenex tears coupled with some healing courtesy of Asia brought her to full health, she was in tip top shape
Chara: Sorry about that Ise
Issei and Flowey hugged her, knowing that she could have dies she hugged them in response
Issei: Never, never do that again Chara
Chara agreed to Issei's request, they were then joined by Sona and Rias and their peerages, who were happy but exhausted that they managed to defeat the Norse god without any damages or casualties, they are then teleported back to the hall where they were met by the faction leaders.
They all were fine yet exhausted after the battle, they deserved a few nights of rest after all the summer vacation is still going on, the faction leaders were really happy with what had happened with them considering most of them managed deal with them before it is too late and Ragnarök would happen, they told them that Euclid had escaped along with a stray magician known as Walburga
Sirzechs: Is this all true Issei?
Issei: Indeed it is Lord Sirzechs, they are after the soul of determination, thankfully they were unable to find it.
Azazel: I see, the wielder of Incinerate Anthem on their side can be a bit problematic.
Issei: I have a feeling that they might come back considering they want the soul.
Sirzechs: So what do you think we should do?
Michael: I would suggest to stay put and wait for them to strike, first we need to know exactly what they want with the soul of determination.
Azazel: My guess is that of a foresight, they want to know what happens next hence they will try to capture or torture or even experiment on the soul to extract information out of it. Knowing them they will do anything to achieve that.
Issei: I have a feeling that they want HATE
The faction leaders are all shocked, they knew how dangerous and volatile HATE is, consumed by it turns you into a walking weapon of mass destruction but at the same time you lose your sanity, losing your one self into becoming a monster. They were aware that souls of determination are usually targets of HATE given that these souls have either had a bad backstory or have suffered something traumatizing .
Sirzechs: Issei are you sure?
Issei: That is my guess, my theory is that HATE makes you much powerful and the leaders of the Khaos Brigade will do anything that might cause the alliance to fall apart, so they will use HATE despite it's repercussions.
Sirzechs: I see
Azazel: Anyways you kids take rest, leave the rest to us, besides your friends are waiting for you
Issei: Thank you Azazel-sensei
Issei takes his leave, leaving the faction leaders to ponder on what they do next.
Sirzechs: So what now?
Azazel: If things go according to the last timeline, they might attack us during the rating game between Gremory and Astaroth with Astaroth being the traitor, so we need to mobilize our forces to prevent him from doing this ever again.
Michael: Maybe it is time, I send in my forces as well, I might make her into an angel.
Azazel: Are you sure?
Michael: I can take those powers if she betrays Issei ever again so do not worry
Sirzechs: Alright then I will convey the plans to the other Satans
Azazel: I will tell Baraquiel and Shemezai as well
Michael: I will inform the other seraphs as well.
Sirzechs: I will inform the Dreemurrs and the Norse as well
They all teleport to do the respective tasks.
The next day, Sitri Manor 9:30 AM
Lord Sitri: It was nice meeting you guys, especially you Issei
Lady Sitri: Please visit us again Issei.
Issei: I will
Chara: It was fun visiting the underworld, when you are not dead, it was surprisingly nice.
Flowey: We had a lot of fun as well
Raynare: And became stronger than before, I mean I unlocked another pair of wings, Azazel would be happy with my improvement.
The train then appears and everyone heads into it, that was when Sona asks something
Sona: Hey Ise, how were my parents?
Issei: They were nice people, they seemed quite cheerful
Sona: Say what would have happened if some other girl falls for you, will you accept her as well?
Issei: I honestly don't know, but I have a feeling that might happen.
Sona: Hmmm, well we do have school, our annual sports competition is coming soon, so are you going to train with Asia this time?
Issei: Maybe, we do not know what will happen next.
Sona: We got that right, so many changes that have happened in the timelines, we encountered so many different things as well.
Issei: Now let's go the others are waiting for us.
They then approach and are met with the others who were waiting for them to show up, the train journey back was uneventful aside from the usual chatting and playing games. They are then dropped to their respective stops and head home.
Miki: Ah you guys came home, how was the training in the underworld?
Issei: It was amazing mom, we learnt a lot of new things, a lot of new abilities.
Tiamat: It was fun indeed Ms. Hyoudou we fought a rogue god and won
Miki immediately rushed to Issei and Chara, she checked for their injuries, but saw nothing on them
Miki: Are you two fine?!?!?!?!
Issei: We are fine mom
Chara: It was nice, I never thought I would fight a god, that was an experience of a lifetime
Miki: Seriously both of you, you two will never change, you just provoke danger in some way or another.
Issei: I kinda adjusted to this life since the previous timeline, it is just a regular Monday for us.
Miki: *sigh* Yeah you got that right sweetie
Sona: Speaking of which, where is Dad
Miki: Oh he is at office as of now.
Issei: Oh I see
Miki: Come you guys must be tired after the train ride, I made food for you all
Everyone else joins the dinner table, where Issei talks about his training experience as well as meeting with his in laws, which surprisingly went well, he then tells about the techniques he has learnt including several abilities with his Durandal. The others talk about how much they have improved, Raynare unlocking her spear abilities as well as an additional pair of wings, Chara being more evasive and adept, Flowey unlocking his Omega form as well as his more control over it, Sona and her peerage being more adept, more stronger as well as having more magic control. Asia not only unlocking her soul trait as well as her balance breaker. Miki was happy that her family has become stronger as well as more resilient.
After the dinner everyone goes to sleep with the same arrangement, the only difference being that Kuroka joins them in the bed, thankfully the bed was big enough to sustain all of them thankfully, the bed was able to sustain all of them. They slept like knowing that they would live for another day
(A/N: That it for this chapter, with that the Loki Arc has officially ended, the next would be the OSF attack on the rating game tournament as well)
(A/N(2): The soul of kindness's abilities are similar to that shown in Glitchtale with it creating barriers to protect others as well as extensive healing)
Please let me know in the comments on how to improve and I will catch y'all later
PEACE!!!!!!
