At the same time as Nexus was attacked.

The Biblical Faction was holding another gathering in Kuoh Town.

There is a reason they keep using this location for the meetings.

Devils and Fallen can't enter Heaven.

Angels can go to the underworld but they feel uncomfortable by doing so.

Devils and Fallen prefer if huge groups of either one were to come to their territory. Brings up bad memories of invasions.

So they needed a neutral location where they could meet up. Given that Kuoh town is also the birthplace of the current Red Dragon Emperor. There is no better location to choose from.

All three forces can bring an equal amount of troops. Even though they have made an alliance old grudges won't just disappear.

It will take time.. a lot of time, for the mistrust to go away.

They were meeting in a Luxurious Hotel that Sirzechs had built in Kuoh town.

There was a big table with many different dishes on it.

There were two representatives from each side. From Heaven were Michael and Gabriel. From Grigori Azazel and Penemue. And from the Devil's side Sirzechs and Grayfia.

Since they were in a restaurant all of them came dressed in a suit and a dress for the women.

The mood was somber despite the luxurious location.

Azazel took a big sip from his wine before sighing " Okay, give it to us straight... how bad is it"

Sirzechs had a calm facade but you could tell that he was exhausted from his body language and the way he coursed Demonic energy through his body to function.

" Well we almost had a riot explode into a mini civil war, so thats one thing. Another is our diplomatic affairs plummeted, a lot of factions and organizations worked with us due to Serafall's sheer charisma and the way she could sweet-talk them. Now that she is gone, they have no reason to work with the arrogant devils"

Gabriel sighed, sad that her 'friend' won't be joining her in diplomatic talks anymore. She quite liked those, even though Serafall didn't.

" I am going to miss our talks"

Penemue chuckled "What talks, you just talk and Serafall stands there and tries to ignore you as best as she can"

Gabriel pouted a bit "It's how we bond"

"Have you been working on a solution for this problem?" Michael asked gently, trying to steer the conversation back on its course

Sirzechs nodded " We have decided to put Grayfia as Head of Foreign Affairs"

Azazel raised an eyebrow, the others were clearly surprised as well "Hooo your Council actually allowed this. Two Satans will basically be married. That gives quite the political power to House Gremory"

Grayfia smiled coldly " Oh they tried. But I reminded them whose fault it was in the first place"

Sirzechs smiled at that " Serafall and Grayfia competed for the position of Satan in the first place. Grayfia is strong, she has a good lineage and has a few good connections"

" She will have to do, the Devils can't afford to not have someone leading the Foreign Affairs Office.

Me and Serafall were the best negotiators so we took that role for the Alliance. Luckily it seems that she is still willing to do the deals that will benefit the whole Alliance, but not the ones for the Devils... your Council really screwed up Sirzechs"

" So Sera will be coming to the Alliance meetings" Gabriel happily smiled

Michael sighed while the rest ignored the pure-hearted angel.

She was naive but that didn't mean that she was stupid. She unknowingly uses her naivety to her advantage. People relax around her kind aura and with God's blessing, she can tell when someone has negative intentions toward her. So she doesn't get tricked. More like 'CAN'T' be tricked

There is a reason she is Gabriel the 'Messenger'. She has been in charge of Foreign Affairs since she was created.

The Satan of Domestic Affairs just rubbed his temple. "You don't have to tell me"

Penemue looked at Grayfia " I suggest you hire Serafall's old team. They are experienced and already know what to do. It will save you a lot of trouble. If you want to train your own people do it another time, right now you have to start building conections"

Grayfia just nodded. She knew how hard it would be to replace Serafall, she left some pretty big shoes to fill.

But she was probably the only one who could do it. The only other candidate is the Devil King Zekram Bael. And there was no way the Satans were going to let that man anywhere near the Position of Foreign Affairs. He was already troublesome enough as it is. He didn't need even more political power.

"Well other than the 1000 reincarnated devils we lost this week. And the constant attempts to undermine us by the Great King Faction. There really aren't any other changes with us. How are things going on your end?"

Azazel glanced at Michael and waved his hand, gesturing for him to go first.

" Very well. I will go next" Michael cleared his throat " Luckily other than those 50 Angels no others have 'left' Heaven. The Brave system is functioning well. We have reincarnated a few more angels into our ranks. The most important one is the person i reincarnated as my Joker. Dulio Gesualdo the wielder of Zenith Tempest.

He is a kind and carefree Exorcist. A bit too carefree, he is lazy and has a great passion for food. As soon as he got his wings he went on a culinary trip"

The others' sweat dropped at this information

"Ummm, Michael... are you sure he won't fall because of Gluttony?"

Michael just smiled fondly " No. I have no worry there. Dulio does not travel around the world to look for tasty foods for personal satisfaction but to do research and bring them to the Church facilities for the kids to eat. He treats those who came from Church facilities as his brothers and sisters and will do anything for them.

In fact his main reason for becoming an angel was to reach the souls of the children in Heaven. So that he could see the kids from the orphanage and keep them company till they reincarnate or decide to stay in Heaven."

Azazel was visibly surprised "Really?... People like him are rare, especially in a world like ours. Behavior like that will get somebody killed sooner or later"

Sirzechs withheld a wince as memories started surfacing of the times he used to play the piano for orphans. Before all of them were killed which was the reason he began fighting in a civil war. That felt like a lifetime ago. And he was a completely different person as well, when he took the position of Satan of Domestic Affairs.

'Maybe Serafall was on to something about this whole quitting thing'

"Sadly that is true. The world would be much better if we all got along but I guess it just isn't meant to be" Gabriel sighed out.

" If it were that easy we would have done it long ago. Right now we can barely function as a proper alliance" Penemue stated. Saying the words that all of them had in their heads.

This alliance didn't go as planned but it could still be a success. They made peace and started trade among the other factions. Which is more than anyone has ever done in thousands of years. So it's a start.

"Well this alliance hasn't even existed for a year. Some setbacks are to be expected." Michael said calmly. He was among the first Angels... well actually Literally the Second Angel created in existence. Him and Helel were twins.

Sirzechs sighed. He was reminded that it really hadn't been that long since they started. 'The stress must really be getting to me'

He called over a waiter for a refill and took a big gulp before turning back to his fellow leaders.

"So whats next on the agenda?"

Before anyone could even say anything

*BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM*

The hotel started to shake from the explosions.

' ' ' Not Again' ' '

Sirzechs, Azazel and Michael sighed out loudly at the same time before looking at each other and smiling wryly.

They looked through the window and saw the absolute chaos that was happening outside. Their troops were being attacked by multiple opponents.

The enemy army for the main part was filled with humanoid jackals with ash-black skin. They were 3 meters tall and wore a headpiece and jewelry similar to that of what Ancient Pharaohs wore. They had spears, swords and double-bladed-edged axes. They were fearlessly attacking the troops stationed outside the hotel

Then without any warning, a pitch black vail surrounded the area. The hotel along with a few city blocks were separated from the real world.

"Why does this happen every time we try to hold a meeting in person" Azazel facepalmed before he turned serious. His mind working in overtime.

"Army of Anubis" Michael spoke up. He and Azazel had seniority here. Both of them had seen many things during their long lives.

" Dimension Lost?" Grayfia looked at the barrier " No, this is pitch black. So at least Nexus isn't attacking us"

"I got it. I wondered why the black energy seemed so familiar to me. It's Nyx. The Primordial Goddess of the Night" Azazel spoke up as he started to run energy through his body.

" Nyx? So the Greek and Egyptian Pantheon have joined forces" Gabriel stated, she used the special techniques from Heaven to control her emotions in times like this. So even as she watched her people get killed. She would be able to think and fight with a level head.

Penemue frowned " Even if she is a Primordial Goddess. She shouldn't be able to create a barrier that can keep all of us locked in right?"

"I believe you are correct. I'm guessing her brother Erebus, The Primordial God of Darkness, is helping her out with the barrier." Michel observed the enemies when powerful auras started to pop up from the Darkness.

*ROARRRRRRRRRR!*

*ROOOARRRRRRRRRR!*

*ROAAAARRRRRRRRRR!*

*RRRROOOAAARRRRRRRRR!*

"Oh come ON!" Azazel yelled out. He had recognized a few of those auras.

A black Eastern Dragon exceeding one hundred meters in length flew from the Darkness. He had gems across his body that released a shimmering silvery glow.

"It has been a while Azazel, Michael" the dragon greeted them

"Apophis a rare guest has appeared" Michael calmly said to the dragon "And you have brought friends I see"

A few more dragons came out of the dark barrier. They all had different shapes.

The first one was a tree-like dragon with red eyes. the second was 15 15-meter tall Western Dragon with black scales, bright silver eyes, horns, wings, and thick limbs, uniquely being a bipedal Dragon. A trait that he shared with Tannin. And the third was a giant Dragon with three heads and six giant wings. He had very dark scales that were a distinct shade of purple.

"Ladon, Grandel and Aži Dahāka." Azazel said to inform Sirzechs and Grayfia. Since they haven't met these dragons before.

"Apophis the Primal Eclipse Dragon, Labdon the Insomniac Dragon, Grendel the Crime Force Dragon and Aži Dahāka the Diabolism Thousand Dragon" Grayfia called them by their titles

"Rahahahaha! I will slaughter the whole LOT OF YOU!!!" Grandel roared out his silver eyes glowing as he let out a mad grin

"Hahaha. Let's see you escape now you little worms." Labdon laughed out loud, the leaders noticed that he was sitting in the back while his energy was dropping slightly. It was easy to figure out that he was increasing the strength of the Vail that Nyx and Eberus have created. As well as giving them an obvious target. Except this target is a durable dragon sitting behind 3 very strong Evil Dragons.

"Hey Azi. Long time no see" Azazel chuckled at the 3 headed dragon

"Ahhh, Azazel, I see that you are still alive you old crow. I can finally get my revenge." Aži Dahāka glared at Azazel

"Azazel?" Michael raised an eyebrow at Azazel who looked a bit sheepish.

"Umm long story short in my youth I stole some magic books from his cave"

"You Ransacked MY HOME! PREPARE TO DIE CROW!!!" Azi roared out as he started to gather his energy.

As if 4 Dragons were bad enough.

The Earth around them started to crumble, in mere seconds a large part of the earth, cement, and houses turned to dust and sand.

The sand started to stir. It slowly gathered to form a humanoid shape, who quickly became a real person. He had dark skin, and wore many gold ornaments as well as Egyptian garb. He also had traditional Egyptian makeup on. He looked like a pharaoh that had come back to life.

Seth.(Set) God of deserts, storms, disorder, violence, foreigners. thunderstorms, eclipses, and earthquakes.

He grinned at the Alliance Leaders.

"Let's get this party started shall we?" Seth flung his arms. And a tsunami of sand rushed at the hotel. This also started out the attacks from the Dragons.

And so, the war on this front began as well.
