Chapter 60

The night of the meeting came finally and Sephiroth was with Raynare in the living when Sona created a teleportation circle into the living room.

"Sephiroth I'm here to get you for the peace talks at the Kuoh Academy" Sona said

Standing up from his seat "Raynare your coming with me" Sephiroth said

"Of course lord Sephiroth" Raynare who bowed to him. While Raynare had been with Sephiroth she had seen an increase in her magical power from being in his service. The training that Sephiroth has given her when he can has made her that much stronger than she would ever be able to do on her own.

Before she was just your average low level fallen angel but now she has 2 pairs of wings on her back now and is close to unlocking another pair because of Sephiroth. For someone like her that strives for power and will do anything to get it, serving someone like Sephiroth is the best thing that has ever happened to her. The only problem that Raynare has with Sephiroth is that he won't let her fuck him but that doesn't stop her from tempting him whenever she can.

"I don't believe that will be a problem will it Sona?" he asked

"None at all Sephiroth you're more than welcome to bring her along if anything it might help out more if you do. Well if nothing else are you ready to go?" Sona then creates another teleportation circle, this one leading to the meeting room of the peace talks.

"Yes, follow Raynare" then they all step into the circle and arrive outside the meeting room of the peace talks.

Sona knocks on the door and then a voice on the other side tells them to enter and Sephiroth could tell that it was Sirzechs voice.

When Sephiroth entered he saw Azazel and Vali on one side who happened to have both his arms and giving off a different aura now that he is half dragon and devil quite similar to him who is fallen angel and dragon now. Azazel just waved at him when he saw that Sephiroth looked at him while Vali had an expression on his face that was out for blood, it seems this boy didn't learn from his last attempt.

Then Sephiroth looked at the heaven side of the table and saw the church duo Xenovia and Irina along with who he assumed was Micheal the leader of the heaven faction. He had a kind smile on his face while Irina had the same while Xenovia had a blank expression on her face showing nothing.

When he finally turned to the underworld side and saw Serafall and Sireches sitting there along with Rias and Sona's her peerage. Akeno was also there since she was involved and friends with the two groups even though she is technically free.

Something that he noticed is that Sirzechs had both of his arms, somehow and wondered how that was but figured it didn't matter in the end. Sirzechs had a business smile on his face but he could tell that he was still upset with Sephiroth to some degree and he couldn't blame him he did kill his father after all.

Seeing the empty spot at the table he figured that was his spot so he quickly walked to it and sat down and had Raynare stand behind him and motioned with his head for Akeno to come stand by him to which she did.

Seeing that everyone was here Sirzechs spoke up "I'm glad that all of you are here now, let's get this meeting started then so Rias and Sona can you explain to everyone what happened with Kokabiel and his group"

All three factions listen to them tell what happened and why Kokabiel was doing this. While they were shocked that he would do this for something as simple as proving that their race was the best out of the three factions, they could also believe it because they knew that Kokabiel was someone that didn't want the war to end like it did.

"When we thought that we were going to die to Kokabiel that is when Sephiroth came and saved us from him" Rias said to everyone to which everyone looked at Sephiroth who has been quiet this whole time.

"Sephiroth could you give your side of the story for everyone to hear now" Serafall asked

"Fine, before that we will need to backtrack a bit because before I arrived to save Rias and her group I met first with Sona and her group. I was contacted by Asia to come and help them with their problem and seeing that I vowed to protect Asia and Akeno was there as well I saw no reason to deny her request for aid." They all nodded to this because it does make sense to them while Asia and Akeno blushed at Sephiroth's comment.

"When I arrived and got the info about what was going on I decided to eliminate that threat so walking into the battlefield if you could call it that we met some strange priest, think his name was Freed." Sephiroth

"Yes, he was a stray priest due to his behavior and actions toward the other races in the world and we at the church couldn't condone such behavior so we had kicked him out of our faction. Sadly he was a prodigy of sorts for combat so it was a loss for our side when it did happen." Micheal said when Freed was mention

"Moving on so upon meeting Freed and getting the info that he wasn't important for anything I quickly severed his arms and pinned him to the ground with magic to die and moved on to meet up with Rias and her group that was battling Kokabiel to rescue them." The fact that he easily dismissed what he had done to Freed kind of worried the factions. Showing how ruthless Sephiroth could be to everyone especially if they get in his way much like Freed most likely did.

"When I found Kokabiel and Rias' group, they looked worse for wear and looked to be about to be defeated so I stepped in to save them and battle Kokabiel myself. Long story short he summoned his legion and I ended up killing them all in battle" When the faction leaders heard this they couldn't help but show shocked expressions.

The reason that Kokabiel was so feared in the war is because of his legion that he trained that used tactics like Spartans did in the old times. A whole legion of fallen angels with Spartan level tactics made battling large numbers or powerful beings much easier for them.

To know that one man was able to defeat them all but not only that not leave a single survivor behind is a testament to the strength that Sephiroth has. Now each faction leader isn't weak but if each of them wanted to do what Sephiroth did they would either have to suffer life threatening injuries, be permanently disable to some degree, or even die in the process of killing them all. Something that none of them could afford to do is why such a legion was so feared and respected and Kokabiel being their leader made this man very influential to some degree.

As the faction leaders quickly got over their shock, "I just want to make it known that Kokabiel did this on his own and me and my faction had nothing to do with this" Azazel stated to everyone in this room.

"From what Rias and Sona have told us that does seem to be the case and I know that you have been pushing for peace for a while now just as long as I have so I would think that you wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize that now Azazel." Sirzechs stated to which Serafall nodded her head to.

"I also believe that Azazel wouldn't do something like this based on his previous action. So I think that we can come to agreement that Kokabiel did this on his own then" Micheal said.

"I'm glad that you see this, now moving on to our next agenda the peace treaty between our three factions" Azazel

"I sue for peace and what not, I just want to be left alone to do my own research without the risk of dying." Azazel

"I second the peace as well, another war would be most disadvantageous for not only us but all of the factions involved." Micheal says giving off a calming smile to everyone.

"We devils also don't want another war, we just want to coexist with everyone" Sirzechs

"Good glad we can all agree on something for once, now why don't we ask what those two think about this matter" Azazel says while he points at Sephiroth and Vali. Making everyone turn towards them seeing what they are going to say now that they have become the center of attention.

"I don't care if we go to war or not just if there are strong opponents to fight and I have already found one such person" Vali said while he stared directly at Sephiroth across the room who seems to be drinking some tea he got from somewhere most likely Akeno.

Putting his cup down "I don't care what you all do as long as you don't bother me and my people" Sephiroth then proceeded to drink his tea again not bothered by the stares he was getting.

Giving off a small laugh "I like it kid, you are one of my favorites and I must say I like how you handle things for the most part." Azazel said while he banged the table once during his laugh.

"I think that I speak for the other faction's leader when I say this, but what do you want for stopping a war that could have started by Kokabiel's actions?" Micheal said, giving a serene smile to Sephiroth. While the other two also agreed but Sirzechs didn't want to, he knew that if his faction was the only one not to give something to Sephiroth his faction would be looked down upon, something that he couldn't allow.

While he thought for a moment and looked at the three faction leaders, he knew exactly what he wanted to ask of the three leaders. "Sirzechs I'd like you to have you owe me a favor for the future, Azazel you already know what I want from you, and Micheal it would be the same was Sirzechs a favor for future use." Sephiroth said.

Both Micheal and Sirzechs were happy that they got off light with his request. A favor for the future wasn't that big a deal for them as long as it wasn't something extreme. While they were curious what Sephiroth wanted from Azazel.

"Kid what you're asking for really making this old man over here want to cry rivers of blood. Do you know how long I have been working on this project of mine and you just think that stopping a war will be enough to get it from me?" Azazel said with some mirth in his voice.

It is then that everyone felt magic overcome them all in the meeting, "It would seem that we are under attack by some people" Micheal said while looking around to see who wasn't affected by the magic. Everyone noticed that most of the people in the meeting room were frozen in place all except the people that were very powerful such as the leaders or if they carried a holy item like the swords.

"I know what this is, it's Forbidden Balor View but I wonder who cast it" Azazel said while he put himself into a thinking pose at the table not at all panic over what has happened.

"His name is Gasper Vladi, a bishop of my little sister Rias but he should have been sealed away and protected because of the seals in place. I don't know how they got to him though." Sirzechs says while showing a confused expression on his face on the matter.

"Well he needs to be stopped, I believe that they forced his balance breaker mode and if they keep doing whatever it is that they are doing it could get strong enough to even affect us and then we will be sitting ducks" Azazel said to everyone.

"Would you like me to handle it Azazel?" Vali asked since he was one of the few not affected due to his power and his sacred gear.

"No because I know the first thing that you're going to do is destroy the whole building and kill everyone that is in there and that is something that we don't want especially because we are trying to sign a peace treaty." Azazel said shooting down whatever idea Vali had going on in his head.

"Would you like me to handle it then?" Sephiroth offered to them all.

"Let me guess you will do it for that won't you?" Azazel said with a clear reluctance in his voice. Sephiroth only smiled at him in response, not bothering to say yes or no because Azazel knew it was a yes.

Gritting his teeth "I really hate you right now you know that kid. I couldn't help but think you planned this somehow" Azazel said unaware that he was right to some degree.

"I don't know what you mean Azazel, I'm only offering my help to you all" Sephiroth said, giving off a small smile to them all almost like a devil would, If Sirzechs wasn't so mad at Sephiroth he would be proud of seeing this scene. It isn't often someone gets one over on Azazel.

"Do you need help locating Gasper?" Sirzechs offered to Sephiroth

"No need I know exactly where he is and can teleport to him at any moment I want"

"Ummm Sephiroth, teleportation is currently blocked while inside the barrier that we sent up for this meeting" Micheal

"As if a simple barrier can stop me" was all that Sephiroth said while he easily created a teleportation circle in front of them all and stepped through it and then he was simply gone. This shocked the other leaders because this wasn't any simple barrier like Sephiroth stated it was powered by dozens of beings from each faction that was here. To simply be able to overpower them all combine and still teleport like it was nothing was something they never thought was possible even, they couldn't do that so easily.

While they waited they noticed that it didn't even take a minute for the frozen effect to be over with and everyone was able to move again. Then Sephiroth teleported himself back to the meeting room.

Everyone just stared at him when he came back "Yes?" Sephiroth said back confused on why everyone was looking at him.

"Do you even know what you just did?" Azazel asked him

"I handled the problem like I said I would. Akeno could I have some more tea please" Everyone that knew what he just did was just shocked at how easy he just handled that problem not to mention how nonchalantly he is about it.

"Brother, what just happened to us all?" Rias asked Sirzechs hoping he would enlighten them what they just missed.

"Your bishop was forced to use his sacred gear and he froze all of you except some of us and we sent Sephiroth to handle the situation for us seeing how he is somehow able to teleport in this area after the barrier has been put up." Sirzechs said to his little sister while rubbing her head to try and comfort her.

"Wait what happened to Gasper then, I hope you didn't kill him Sephiroth" Rias asked with clear anxiousness in her voice.

Sephiroth waved her off "I killed everyone there but Gasper. I did have to put him to sleep though to stop the effect but he is protected with barriers that I created myself so unless a Satan class person attacks it do they stand a chance at getting through it so he is safe for now at least." While he picked up his refilled tea that Akeno was so kind to do.

Rias sighed in relief knowing that Gasper didn't die just now to Sephiroth, "Now why don't we go outside and see who is crazy enough to attack us all at once like this but I have a feeling that I know who it is" Azazel said to the group and they all proceeded to walk out of the building to see who wanted to die so much.

Once they got outside they saw hundreds of what looked to be mages of some kind floating in the sky all behind someone that many of the faction leaders recognized.

"Well if it isn't Katerea Leviathan, what are you doing here attacking us for?" Serafall asked in a serious tone. Both her and Sirzechs know that she is a part of the old Satan faction but she should know that she isn't strong enough to take them all on, on her own.

"Shut up you faker, I'm going to kill you at this place and take the title of Maou Leviathan for myself. Then, Ophis will become the god of the new world. It's fine if he's just a symbol. The system, the laws, and the doctrine will be constructed by us. Michael, Azazel, and Sirzechs, your era is over." She said to them all with a smug tone in her voice thinking that she already won the fight.

"So you're a part of the Khaos Brigade then huh" Azazel said, surprising the other faction leaders because this is the first time that they have heard of this group at all.

"You will have to tell us more about this Khaos Brigade, Azazel but for now let's handle these pests in front of us" Sirzechs says while he starts to release his power of destruction around his body.

"I agree, with Sirzechs I would like to know more as well" Micheal says while he unleashes his own magical power as well.

Meanwhile Sephiroth is just looking around with a bored expression on his face about this whole situation, 'I wonder when this will be over with' he thought.

'Partner can't you be serious in this situation we are technically trapped and surrounded by hundreds of mages' Ddraig said mildly, miffed that Sephiroth was treating this situation so nonchalantly like this.

'Ddraig you know that I could eliminate this whole group in minutes if I so wish' he said back to which she could only silently agree because he could if he really wanted to.

"All right well let's do this then, I'll handle Katerea. I need to test something out anyway so what better way to do that then now. Vali you know what to do." Azazel said while he flew to meet her in the air.

"The rest of you handle the minions that are scattered about and protect each other just need to hold off till we come and aid you, so work together and you all should be fine." Sirzechs says while giving them all a small smile to reassure them that they can do this.

"Xenovia, Irina work together with the others as well to protect yourselves. I wouldn't know what to do if you two got injured." Micheal said to his two followers.

"God bless you lord Micheal, we will be fine with the others so don't worry about us." Irina said while making a small prayer with her hands, making all of the nearby devils flinch a bit as she says that.

"Akeno, Raynare go have some fun" was all that Sephiroth said while he cast both shell and protect on them both to boost their magical and physical defense making the two feel happy that he cared enough about them to protect them like that.

"Ufufufu, don't worry about us Sephiroth. It is those mages that are the ones that you need to be worried about." Akeno said while giving off a sadistic smile on her face not to mention the lightning that is crackling around her body right now. Raynare was not much better, more than happy to show off her strength and deliver some pain toward others.

"Sephy-chan what are you going to be doing?" Serafall asked when she noticed that Sephiroth didn't mention what he was going to be doing.

"I'm just going to stay near them and provide support to them all when they need it. They will only get stronger if they face challenges like this" All of the leaders were grateful for what Sephiroth was going to do for them all and was willing to step back so that the weaker members would have a chance to get some experience.

Unaware that the reason that he did that is because he is just too lazy right now to handle everyone else's problems. He already got what he wanted from Azazel so he is just going to relax and maybe drink some more tea that Akeno made while he watches over the group. The mages should be smart enough to know not to attack him but he can always teach them through the death of some of them so they know not to target him.

Azazel pulled out a weird looking stake that had a purple orb on top of it and the next moment he transformed into a gold and purple armored being that looked extremely similar to Sephiroth's and Vali's balance breaker mode.

Then the battle commenced when Azazel and Katerea started to duke it out in the air.
