*Luminous Era HQ*

The battle has started, Jono was the first to make his move, with his large mountain like fist he swung at Hansha who easily blocked it with one hand sending a violent air current through the hall.

Sona seeing this raised her hand blocking the pressure from reaching the table and disturbing the food.

She then snapped her fingers and instantly the entire hall was coated in an invisible version of her black water to protect it from damage.

Jono and Hansha stared at each other as their fist and palms pushed against each other with increasing power.

Hansha's eyes glint as he released some of his strength making Jono lose balance, he then grabbed his arm twisted his body trying to throw Jono over his shoulder.

.""HAA!!!"".

Hansha pulled and pulled but to no success, he was surprised at this, he glanced back and Jono had burst his toes out his shoes and used them to help grip the ground while lowering his center of gravity.

."Got you now."Jono cracked an ugly smile as he swung his other arm but instead of punching him he placed him in a headlock then locked in his entire body

Haile looked at this with interest, he glanced at Sona."Is this extra large fellow really human?."He asked genuinely curious, he has never seen a human like that in his life.

."Yeah, Jono was born as any normal child but around age 5 he was diagnosed with an abnormal tumor in his brain that makes him grow endlessly, usually such people without treatment die early but he somehow survived."Sona said looking at her pad, she had the information of every member, their weaknesses and their strengths.

Haile was impressed."Very interesting, a true natural giant, if he had my giant divinity I wonder his potential."He said glancing amongst the other Popes."Sona, Rias and Tsubaki you've done good finding these people."

.""Thank you"".

.""Only the best for you"".

.""Mm"".

Sona, Rias and Tsubaki acknowledged happily, it was all for him after all, Akeno pout but she wasn't upset she didn't really do anything to get them, she only helped train them.

On the pillar Hansha was still struggling to get out of Jono's grasp, it just progressively got tighter and it grew harder for him to breathe, Hansha's eyes started to get blurry till he had no choice.

.""AGGHAAAAAAAA!!!!"".

*Om*!!!

*Whoooshhh*!!!

Hansha roared out as a great magical aura exploded from his body like a tidal wave bring extreme pressure to the hall and knocking Jono away.

*Booom*!!!

.""Agh!"".

Jono crashed into the wall violently, landing on his back and breaking his fall with the reinforced floor, Hansha quickly jumped over to him checking for injuries, he then turned to Haile."It is my lost your majesty."He said bowing his head.

Haile licked his finger from the meat, he raised an eyebrow."Hmm, didn't you beat him, why are you surrendering."He asked not seeing his point, he might be a warrior but he's stupid.

."No, Jono is much stronger than I am, he knew that my tribe is one that worship's physical strength above all even the witchcraft which I now know as magic."Hansha explained glancing at Jono with respect."So he purposely use just physical force against me, so it is my lost."

Haile now understood what he meant."I see, you are both admirable warriors, though I hope that trait won't affect your duty on the battlefield."He said giving fair warning."But from that little demonstration I now have an understanding of your powers and am very pleased."

."Thank you your majesty"".

.""I thank you"".

Both Hansha and Jono who had recovered spoke with gratitude at the praise, Haile glanced at his Goddesses."You have not disappointed me yet."He said to them returning to eating then he noticed someone.

Old lady Saint standing with the other's bowed her head having encountered his gaze, Haile stopped eating."Why is this old lady standing."He questioned with a frown.

Pope Saint appeared surprised at that, in her heart she felt a sudden warmth."It is ok, am fine with standing, I thank you for caring your majesty."She said with a smile on her old face.

The other Popes had complicated expressions, they were also very relieved, he was the same as the Goddesses described.

."I see, but still all of you Popes can sit at the table, all my Goddesses aren't here yet so sit for now I want to know you all."Haile motioning to the table giving ok to dine with him.

The Popes were excited to hear that quickly sitting at the table though they were nervous, after all they were sitting at a table with the divine.

."Now tell me, Alavalanch how did you get into scientific stuff, it's pretty boring in my experience."Haile said starting with her, she looked the most excited to be here with him.

Alavalanch opened her mouth then realized that she actually didn't know, she rubbed her chin in wonder."Dunno, parents probably, then they died kakakaka, I wanted to revive them I think?."She said naturally chaotic.

."Is that why you want my blood, Mm if you can succeed that would be nice, now you Crissy, how did you even get here?."Haile asked raising an eyebrow, if he saw her he would never think to even look at her deeply.

Crissy fiddled with her fingers as she avoided eye contact with him."Well, I was doing some shopping in the market and was stopped by Goddess Sona, she simply asked me if I wanted to be special and I said yes."She said awkwardly.

Haile glanced at Sona who pointed to her head which he understood what she meant, he connected his mind to her's and also connected the other's as well even Clernet.

."">I met her by accident, we teleported to the market and she was there, we didn't know if she saw us or not but to be careful I tried to erase her memories<"".< p>

."">It didn't work at all, me and Rias even combined our full power to perform a complete hypnosis, but it had zero affect, she didn't even look dizzy, it's weird<"".< p>

Haile smiled as he pulled his beardless chin.'That's conceptual resistance alright and it's already so powerful.'He thought as his eyes continued to trace Crissy making her nervous.

."">That power is her ability called conceptual resistance, hypnosis is not anywhere near that level so she is immune to that completely<"".< p>

."">Concepts are like thought manifested laws, that cannot be held to a physical component like the elements, Ophis Infinity would be a concept, Erase would be the evolutionary concept of Destruction, even Death would be considered a concept, so she is also partially immortal<"".< p>

Hearing that they were amazed, even Clernet, she is beginning to believe that there is more to this world than meets the eyes, it is so weird, back home such concept like abilities are so rare that anyone who had them would become Overlords.

Now she is hearing about so many that supposedly have this ability or equal potential, she wondered what would happen if they were to reach a comparable raw power, this world may surpass her own.

With the eyes of all the Gods on her now Crissy could only play with her fingers in worry, Haile smiled at her gently."You don't have to be so conservative here, I want you 10 to know something, this place is yours, I gave it to you, that comes with a dignity and a majesty of sorts."He said explaining to them.

The Popes were all shocked, they looked over to Sona who had her eyes closed and said nothing, Ciaa was the most shook."Are you serious, b-but we.."She looked at the Goddesses.

."Don't worry about it, as long as you are dedicated to me and my Goddesses you will be fine."Haile said to them, he glanced at the other's."My apologies, I hope that's alright with you guys."

Sona breathed a sigh as she shook her head with a smile."Yeah it's fine, we brought them and trained them to be leaders, so why not let them be."She said not really minding it.

."I believe that was the plan from the beginning, to make this a self efficient organization, that would mean eventually giving them full control."Rias said casually giving her input.

Tsubaki nodded."They just need to get stronger first, Ciaa is doing a great job already being the now official head of the Popes, Luminous now has 2 million members over 4 continents, America, Asia, Europe and Africa."She said calmly.

."2 million already, I'm impressed, this deserves a reward, hold out your palm to me."Haile said to the Popes, they didn't even hesitate, Haile drew something in the air then flick it as it scattered into 10.

*Om*!!!

Each of the Popes felt a warm sensation flow into their hands and into their body, then on their palms appeared a golden wing that soon disappeared, they bowed to him gratefully.

.""Thank you your majesty"".×10

."Use it only in the case of extinction, The Last Resort, at this point you are a full fledged magician organization, so you will need a threatening power, that will be your power."Haile said to them seriously.

The Popes nodded solemnly realizing the seriousness of it all, Ciaa stood up as she bowed her head."Your majesty, is there any laws you want to be in place."She asked him almost requesting.

."Laws?."Haile held his chin gently."Mm, not really, you can do whatever, but if I was to say, then bow to no one but me and my people, I am a jealous God."

Akeno nodded her head agreeing, Ciaa bowed her head at that."That is a given your majesty, everything we do will be dedicated to you."She said with reverence.

."And I will appreciate it, now getting back into the sauce, I want all of you to prepare to move upon my order, the war is already underway, one of my Goddesses is taking charge."Haile said eating his fill, he glanced at Clernet curiously."Aren't you going to eat Clernet."

Clernet rolled her eyes."I am a vampire, my usual food is a bit...different."She said throwing a glance at the Popes and 33 stars of domination who all gulped instinctively at that.

."No no, you are not allowed to eat my people, I told you I will get some good blood for you, I already gave my blood now, I'll get some other humans."Haile said sternly, suddenly he looked around with a serious expression.

Akeno, Sona, Rias, Tsubaki and Clernet noticed his suddenly strangeness."What's wrong babe."Akeno tilt her head asking him but it was quickly answered by the source.

.""Hello, I am Shiva, God of destruction and God King of the Hindu Pantheon, I call out to all leaders of the supernatural as I wish to have a discussion, this war... is not right, we will have a discussion which will take place in 3 hours in the desert of Egypt, thank you and goodbye"".

The entire hall was in silence, Haile's face was overshadowed, Tsubaki appeared worried, Sona and Rias were calm, Akeno was disappointed and Clernet was a bit surprised.

The 33 stars of domination could only stay still and the 10 Popes were baffled, it was so sudden that it caught them off guard, they glanced between each other.

."Haile, what are we going to do now."Rias asked, because of this plans will have to change, especially if they didn't want the entire world to turn on them just yet.

Haile rest his chin on his palm as he gazed at the walls of his hall in thought.'Shiva, discount God of Destruction, so you think you can slip away from fate just by getting them on your side.'He thought as a smile appeared on his face.

."Why the hell not, we'll go to this little summit, Ciaa, Alavalanch and Crissy, you three tag along for now, the other's take care of things here."Haile said as he stood up wiping his mouth, his eyes glowed violently."Let's go."

Rias, Sona, Tsubaki, Akeno and Nalisa got up as well, Clernet licked her lips as she too stood."I'll take a peek as well, maybe I can finally get a meal since my master is leaving me to stave with human food."She said placing her hand on her waist.

."*Ahem* right come along."Haile said clearing his throat awkwardly, he glanced at the other's."It was nice meeting all of you personally for the first time, when I returned we'll have a deeper bonding."

Haile snapped his fingers and under his feet a giant golden magic circle appeared, all the girls quickly gathered around him filling up the circle and in a blink they were all gone.

~~

*Africa*

*Egypt*(Desert)

Dry sands with almost no moisture, crispy air that would make it hard for one to breath and a blazing hot sun that made it all possible, the desert of Egypt, one of the most dangerous places in the world of today.

Only the most ferocious of beast could survive these harsh lands, like scorpions, giant sand worms and even dinosaur like creature of the ancient past.

Now for the first time in a very long time the day was without sun and heat as up in the sky's like locust hundreds of millions of beings stood floating in the air blocking light and creating darkness.

Amongst them were a multitude of races, from Devil's, to Fallen Angel, Angels, various Pantheon Gods, Undead and Reapers, Dragons, Youkai, even members of the Khaos Brigade was there keeping their corner.

In the center of this massive swarm was a giant platform with a many of high quality thrones built onto it, the leaders of each faction stood with their people as they watched on.

Sirzechs, Serafall, Ajuka, Falbium and Grafia were representatives of the devil's, Azazel, Baraqiel and

Shemhazai represented their fallen, Michael and Raphael were for the angels.

For the Youkai representing them all was Yasaka and next to her was the leader of the east, old man Nurarihyon.

On the dragons side was two factions, the Dragon Mountain ran by Tannin and Dragon Valley the holy land of Dragons also called the dragonic beginning ran by the 6 Ancestor Dragons.

The Gods had their various leaders like Odin his son Thor and the Valkyries, Hades, Posidon and Hera was there along with DEATH, some Reapers and few undead.

And last but not least representing the Khaos Brigade, surprisingly was Asia, her second in command Lavine and some members of her now High God Council dedicated to worshipping Haile.

They terraformed into a circle huddling around the giant platform waiting for the main man Shiva himself to appear.

A few people though were more worried about other thing like Serafall for example, she glanced around into the distance with a worrisome expression.'~Oh dear, oh deary, this is not good at all, what is Haile Darling gonna do~.'She thought as she looked at all the powerful beings of the races.

It was not looking good at all at least from her perspective, even though Haile was strong could he possibly defend from the entire world, she and her sisters could help but they will only be so useful.

Asia on the other hand couldn't be futher from worried, she was instead excited to see him again so soon, she knows he will definitely show up, that was a given.

Though to avoid giving him trouble she might have to retain herself as letting everyone know he is in line with the Khaos brigade might make them find him suspicious.

Hera in the sky with her brothers glanced over to Serafall seeing her."Brother's I'll be back in a moment."She said as she flew over to Serafall who was only a bit away.

Seeing her coming the devil's went on guard, after all she was part of the problem with the war, Serafall she didn't care about all that, she smiled brightly welcoming her.

."Hello Serafall, how are things."Hera said softly as her expression remained serene, she is just deciding to open up a bit more especially with the people she would be spending her eternity with.

Serafall flew up and hugged her tightly catching her by surprise."~Hera-Hera I was so worried when I heard you had gone into a war, why didn't you call me~."She said as she pat down her body checking to see if she was ok and sighed in relief.

."Oh, I was just um, caught in the middle but I'm fine, really."Hera said watching Serafall fly circles around her, on her face a small smile appeared as warm feelings filled her chest.

Serafall stopped as she nodded patting her large breast."Haile darling must've been so worried, by the way do you know where he is?."She asked curiously as she tilt her head.

."Huh, no I was going to ask you that question, since we parted ways for a bit I have yet to see him, I can't even seem to trace him."Hera said bitting on her finger gently as she felt around the area, maybe he was hiding nearby.

Sirzechs floated over to the two, his expression was horrible."Hera, why are you allowing this to happen, why didn't you stop them, do you think Haile would want this."He said with slightly red eyes having not slept for days.

."Sirzechs Lucifer, I can't ever remember us becoming friends, you may address me as God Empress Hera."Hera said with her face gaining a cold tinge as she clenched her fist.'How dare this man try to use my husband against me.'

Sirzechs frowned."Empress Hera, this has already gone too far, why not put a stop to this, you are not in a very stable position right now."He said maintaining his position.

."Sirzechs Lucifer, are you threatening me?."Hera spoke as her eyes lit up with a red blaze and her aura took physical form around her body like armor."Also, you must be deaf, it's God Empress Hera to you."

Sirzechs eyebrows creased deeper as Ajuka came to his side to support him."So you don't want a compromise, you intend to follow through with this, how many more deaths will be on your hands."He said solemnly.

."You are buzzing like a fly, saying nothing I want to hear, speak again and I will rip off your head for your early disrespect."Hera spoke with a deathly tone, his only saving grace was the fact that he was Rias brother.

.""Come on now my beautiful Empress, don't let yourself be stressed"".

A beautifully calm and soothing voice resounded in the desert as Hera's aura armor melted away, she turned around seeing a familiar silhouette."Husband!."She exclaimed with explosive joy...
