Although Shiva supported the terrorists from behind the scenes, he did not appear on the battlefield openly.
As the leader of Hindu Mythology, the Alliance would generally give him some face and stop at a simple warning.
But unfortunately for him, he ran into Rias.
Not only that, Shiva had even prepared an escape route—a connection to a Other World.
If anything went wrong, he could rely on high-level teleportation magic to escape.
Regrettably, as the saying goes, who told him to run into Rias?
Shiva was already strong enough, but Rias's strength far exceeded this world.
The distance between worlds could no longer obstruct Rias's vision.
Trying to pull a fast one with a single teleportation spell? What was the little brother thinking?
Rias shrugged and turned her gaze toward the battlefields in various regions.
The first thing she noticed was Vali Lucifer's battlefield.
"Is this all you've got?"
Sixteen-year-old Vali Lucifer was looking at the three of them while in his white dragon emperor Balance Breaker form.
His enemies were three people: Katerea Leviathan, Creuserey Asmodeus, and Shalba Beelzebub.
These three were descendants of the previous generation of Satans and should have originally inherited the titles.
Unfortunately, they were incredibly weak yet full of arrogance, and their intelligence was severely lacking, making them unable to read the situation.
Because they held a deep grudge against the current Satans, they became terrorists.
Yet their magic power was only at the level of a Ultimate-class Devil.
Even with the special magic of the original Satans, they still couldn't compare to the current ones.
Even the current Vali was far superior to them.
"Damn it, you're also someone whose position as Satan was stolen! Why are you helping that side?!"
Katerea was in an incredibly wretched state as she gritted her teeth and looked at Vali.
"Helping which side?" Vali mocked. "Did you expect me to hide away like a rat, just like you?"
"As for the position of Satan, it's even more laughable. The strong lead everything. In the end, Devils still follow the law of the jungle. Your skills are inferior, yet instead of thinking about how to improve yourselves, you go around causing destruction to show off your stupidity."
"Talking about being descendants of Satans... I wonder if the original Satans would cry for your incompetence and stupidity."
"Vali!!"
Creuserey Asmodeus gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really going to stand on that side?!"
"Without a doubt."
Vali said, then slowly raised his hand.
White cannon barrels extended from the arms of his armor, and light began to condense within them.
"Since you call yourselves the 'True Satans,' you should at least provide me with some entertainment, shouldn't you?"
As his words fell, the white light descended.
"Get out of the way!!"
The three scattered to escape, but the white light split into three and created a barrier around them.
The three crashed into the barrier on the spot, and then they realized that the flow of their magic power had become sluggish.
"This is what you call tactical wisdom. You guys just don't have it."
As Vali spoke, the gemstone on his chest emitted a sound.
"Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide, Divide!!!"
Five times in a row, and then the magic power of the three was sealed away.
"How is this possible?!"
Feeling their own powerlessness and weakness, the three showed expressions of disbelief.
They were all Satans—was Lucifer really this powerful?!
Indeed, Lucifer was exactly that powerful.
Lucifer had always been the uncrowned king of the Devils, and the current Vali was the same.
"Truly weak."
Vali lamented, murmuring, "Now then, how should I deal with you..."
They were part of the Satan lineage after all, so it wasn't easy for him to kill them directly.
With their abilities, they would be quite useful if captured, whether for mining or for terraforming the Underworld's environment.
Especially the Leviathan line, famous for manipulating water, would be quite useful.
"Kill them."
Rias's voice reached his ears, startling Vali for a moment.
"Understood."
Vali raised his hand and said, "Sorry, I originally intended to spare your lives, but it seems your luck has run out."
Although they were the same age, to Vali, Rias was like both a teacher and a mother.
Vali would never have the slightest doubt regarding Rias's orders.
As for Rias, although their resistance was futile, it was better for them to die than to be captured to create value.
Especially given their identities, they were destined to send the wrong message to certain people.
Turning her gaze elsewhere, Himejima Akeno manipulated lightning to strike down, eliminating a Vampire.
This Vampire was the same fool from the original story who stole Valerie Tepes's holy grail, thinking himself immortal, only to be slaughtered by the awakened Gasper.
Now, before he could even make a name for himself, he died in this war whose outcome was already decided.
"This world is never short of fools."
Rias sighed.
Idiots were like that; once you eliminated one batch, another would appear. It was truly frustrating.
They were like weeds; you could never pull them all out.
Shifting her gaze again, Rias saw Loki, who was filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? How can you be so strong?!"
Loki roared.
One had to know that for this war, he had even brought Jörmungandr.
"Well... this is all thanks to the Lord."
Gabriel smiled slightly and said, "For attempting to cause Ragnarök, Loki, in the name of the Alliance, I shall execute you on the spot."
The Spear of Light fell, and before Loki could react, his abdomen was pierced by an arrow, pinning him to the ground.
"Damn it, those people from the Qlippoth... where are they?!"
Loki cursed, then stood there in a daze.
Had he... been sold out?
The Qlippoth had a total of ten high-ranking members, corresponding to the qliphoth.
And there should have been a high-ranking member near Loki.
However, no combat fluctuations could be observed at the scene.
"Are those Mr. Loki's last words? They're quite unique."
Gabriel's smile remained gentle, and the light in her hand was just as gentle, capable of granting supreme salvation. "Don't be afraid, you'll see the Lord soon~"
"Wait... wait! I am a God of norse mythology! Even if I am to be executed, it should be done by the Norse themselves!"
"Norse? The Norse are also members of the Alliance."
Gabriel smiled, then threw the Spear of Light as Loki watched in despair.
And then—
Loki was annihilated until not even his soul remained.
How could a piece of trash like Loki possibly meet God~
Seemingly sensing something, Gabriel looked in a certain direction with some confusion.
"I feel like the Lord is watching me... Is it my imagination?"
Your intuition is truly powerful.
Rias marveled.
This was probably born from Gabriel's pure faith.
Continuing to observe the battlefield, even if there were still fluctuations, they would likely calm down soon.
It was at this moment that Rias saw a group of Shinigamis chasing a loli.
She was also holding a scythe and looked quite cute, though a bit disheveled, and she was wearing rather provocative clothing while being pursued.
Bennia Orcus, daughter of the high-ranking Shinigami, Orcus.
