Amidst the quiet hum of the conference room, the meeting between the leaders of the Three Factions continued. Azazel, the charismatic Fallen Angel leader, took the lead, his eyes shifting between Issei and Vali. The tension in the room was palpable as they discussed the delicate matter of a peace treaty. Azazel's keen eyes turned to Issei, seeking his insight.

"What is your opinion on the peace treaty, Issei?" Azazel inquired, his voice smooth like velvet.

Issei paused, considering his words carefully. "I believe peace is essential, but we must also ensure the safety and freedom of all our allies," he replied, his gaze unwavering.

At that moment, Kazuki's curiosity got the better of him, and he turned to the powerful Archangel Michael. "May I ask, Michael, why was Asia exiled from the Church?"

Michael's expression softened, and he spoke with a hint of regret in his voice. "The situation in Heaven was and still is complicated. Asia's actions, though well-intentioned, clashed with the strict dogma of the Church. It was a difficult decision, one that weighed heavily on us."

"I have found happiness and purpose outside the Church," Asia asserted, her voice firm.

Suddenly, a group of magicians stormed the room, launching an attack.

Rias, the crimson-haired Devil, made a quick decision. "Gasper and Koneko are in danger; I'll go check on them," she announced determination in her eyes.

"I'll go with you," Issei volunteered without hesitation. He couldn't let Rias face the danger alone.

Kazuki, a trusted ally, informed them that his soldiers had likely dealt with the attacking magicians. Meanwhile, Vali took it upon himself to handle the assailants outside, displaying his extraordinary power with ease. Kazuki summoned the Blade of Renunciation and cut down the magicians that infiltrated the meeting.

As the chaos unfolded, Rias and Issei swiftly moved through the chaos using Rias's unused Rook piece, transferring to the old school building. But before they departed, Azazel approached Issei, his hands holding two bracelets.

"These will help you control your Sacred Gear and Gaspers. Use them wisely," Azazel said, offering the bracelets to Issei.

Their departure left the meeting place exposed, and it didn't take long for a new figure to emerge--Katerea Leviathan. Her arrival marked the beginning of yet another confrontation.

Azazel couldn't resist taunting her. "You again? How tiresome," he mocked, his wings spreading wide.

A fierce battle ensued between Azazel and Katerea, each displaying their mastery of powerful abilities. Meanwhile, Kiba, Xenovia, and Irina volunteered to join the fray, their weapons clashing with the attacking magicians.

All while this was happening, the three Gods, Hades, Beelzebub, and Lucilius watched on. They didn't want to interfere and were just enjoying the showcase of strength.
