They were simply individuals with greater power.

Badr's nonchalant thoughts had yielded valuable information: with enough strength, even gods could be killed.

Though he remained unfazed, the revelation had dealt a heavy blow to Asia and Xenovia.

They were devout believers in God.

Especially Asia. Even after her reincarnation as a devil, she still held a deep reverence for God. It was a peculiar contradiction, and the news had struck her particularly hard.

Xenovia hung her head in despair, her holy sword clattering to the ground as she slumped to her knees.

"If God is dead, then what was the love and power He bestowed upon us...? What meaning does anything have anymore...?"

Even Kokabiel hadn't anticipated that a single piece of information would cripple two of his opponents.

He was ecstatic at the sight of Asia and Xenovia's shattered faith, his laughter echoing through the air.

"Hahahahaha... This is too much! Look at yourselves! Why didn't I reveal this sooner?!"

His laughter was unrestrained, but Asia was already in tears.

"Pull yourself together, Asia," Koneko whispered, comforting her.

She understood the depth and purity of the young nun's faith.

Rias and Akeno sighed, feeling a sense of helplessness.

The current situation had left them unsure of what to do.

"Why is this happening...? Why wasn't there any news before?" Rias wondered aloud, a hint of panic in her voice.

She couldn't help but wonder how much the higher-ups were hiding from them. What was the true state of each faction?

"Heh, well, we can't talk about this without mentioning Michael. That guy is truly remarkable. He took over God's duties, managing both angels and humans. After all, the [System] that God used is still operational, and the power of prayer and faith is still being distributed."

But then, a mischievous glint appeared in Kokabiel's eyes.

"However, this has led to an increasing number of abandoned believers, those beyond his reach. Consequently, the balance of power has been completely disrupted. Just like now, the line between holy and demonic has vanished."

He glanced at Asia, the implication clear.

God was dead, which was why Asia could maintain her pure faith while using a demonic power. Otherwise, God would never have allowed such a situation to occur.

"So, Sir Michael is acting in God's stead..." Xenovia murmured. "No wonder. I was wondering why we haven't fallen apart."

Kokabiel, unfazed by their solemn expressions, raised his fist in excitement.

"I will seize this opportunity to raise the banner of war once more! And your heads will be the perfect gifts to mark the occasion! Even if I'm alone, I will continue the previous war and achieve victory! I'll show Sirzechs and Michael that we Fallen Angels are the strongest!"

His words were filled with fervent excitement, as if he could already see his victory.

Suddenly, a calm and serene voice cut through the air.

"Don't delude yourself. Your ambition will never be realized."

"What?" Kokabiel immediately turned towards the source of the voice. It was Rias devil servant.
