Of course, the situation was a lot more complex than they described thanks to the turbulent forces surrounding the event, but there was no use describing them in detail as that would only take more time.
"Setting up an ambush is one thing, but there should only be a few people or even none that knew where it was exactly sealed. Much less plan out a coordinated attack.", Kisuke did ask for clarification in some matters.
Dylan nodded, "Indeed you're correct. In actuality, the God of the Bible should be the only being that knew where it was sealed. However, Ajuka acquired a piece of land that contained a very rare ore in abundance which was made into Evil Pieces. This ore was rare even in the Supernatural World standard."
Just with those words, Kisuke already guessed where he's coming from but he didn't interrupt him, "This only came to light recently, but according to Ajuka, he's not only interested in the ores itself but also the reason why they existed there. As you might have guessed already, after extensive research he discovered something terrible was sealed within those lands and he could only infer that it was the Beast of the End after some more reference to ancient history."
"Of course, he still wasn't sure if it's really the Trihexa but he still never revealed its existence to anyone else until he proposed to wait in Agreas Island. In other words, it should be only him who's aware that something is in there."
Kisuke thought about his words and recalled Rizevim's previous activities. Within a few moments, it clicked in his head and his eyes widened, "Sephiroth Graal and the previous attack on Heaven."
"That's right.", Masaomi confirmed his guesses, "It's not just about its power to touch upon the principles of life, it's also one of the Holy Relics closest to the God of the Bible that sealed the Trihexa. Using the Sephiroth Graal, it seems that Rizevim was able to come in contact with the Trihexa even before finding it and it was now known that Qlippoth's attack on Heaven was to steal more Holy Relics that could increase their chances of unsealing the beast."
Upon its release, the Alliance finally got to see what it really looks like. Trihexa has the appearance of a large beast with characteristics coming from different animals like a lion, a leopard, a bear, a dragon, etc. It has seven necks, seven heads, with ten horns each, as well as seven long thick tails of different shapes. It also has four stout arms and two legs that are even thicker than its arms. Its main body is that of a primate leaning forward and is covered in black fur and what appears to be scales all over its body. Its size is well over several hundred meters, making it significantly larger than even the Great Red.
Kisuke, Yoruichi, Kuroka, and Serafall then noticed that a barrier around the building was suddenly erected but with Kisuke's immediate telepathy response, they ignored it for now.
It wasn't just its physical appearance, but also the aura it released was malevolent enough that any normal person that would see it would lose their mind. It became a large problem when most of their weaker forces assigned to logistics and evacuation were unable to even move.
Since they didn't have the force to fight it off, they retreated from Agreas Island. In just a matter of days after its release, it annihilated numerous smaller Mythologies and even managed to arrive in the Human World where all Mythologies are even having a hard time keeping it within the Supernatural World.
What's worse is that it's capable of splitting its body into seven parts in accordance with its heads and each one of them was almost indestructible defense and even if they managed to injure it, it'll just regenerate in a blink of an eye.
With a vitality like that, the many Mythological leaders estimated that it'll take at least a thousand years to kill it even with the cooperation of everyone.
"And that's what they are trying to do, is it?" asked Kisuke in a solemn voice.
Dylan nodded in a dignified manner and everyone on their side had solemn expressions, "That's right. With the collaboration between Rossweisse and Ajuka, they were able to create a seal that would seal the Trihexa again. However, they couldn't afford to wait any longer for a stronger seal so along with the Trihexa, various leaders and their close subordinates sealed themselves with it and will attempt to kill it for good."
"Falbium Asmodeus and his peerage, Sirzechs Lucifer and his peerage except for Grayfia, Serafall Leviathan's peerage, Azazel, Michael, Odin, Zeus, Amaterasu are just to name a few that went in. They knew full well that they might be as well fighting an endless battle but none of them hesitated.", Sakura couldn't help but smile wryly when she recalled the scene of the gathering, "While some of them are nervous, the old Gods had a smile on their face as if they are facing the ending that they wanted."
Hearing that, Serafall visibly tightened her fist but she didn't say anything. She's already regretting the fact that she left on her own.
"A-and the world was saved, right?" Hestia couldn't help but ask, hoping for at least an acceptable ending.
Nevertheless, Cleria immediately shook her head, "It might have become peaceful after that but without the presence of those powerhouses, the turbulence that they've been keeping have started spiraling out of control with some of them wanted a piece of the pie called 'authority' while others wanted to just use their power unhindered."
Yoruichi then went on to say, "Azazel, or at least, some leaders, should have known that this would happen and created a countermeasure."
"They did." Cleria confirmed it, "Before even all of this came to be, there's already talk of a Rating Game between Heaven and Underworld with the inception of the Brave Saints that's based on the same system as the Evil Pieces. Using that idea, Azazel arranged that it would encompass the whole world and every Mythology. A worldwide Rating Game Tournament that every Mythology and faction would participate in with the winner being granted a wish that would be realized by all the participants. This tournament is created to serve as a proxy war among the myths and prevent hostility from brewing among myths which could lead into more wars"
Kisuke, Yoruichi, Serafall, Sona, and Kuroka thought about her words for a bit and realized what a 'tournament' at these times could do, "I see... As most Gods are honest to a fault, once their desires are fulfilled, they won't do anything else.", muttered Kisuke.
"If those who are just seeking to use their powers or prove their strength were to be given a stage, then they won't be assisting or controlled by those seeking authority. In that case, it'll be harder for the latter type of people to do what they want with the Mythologies coming together once again.", added Sona while nodding in understanding.
