Several days later, after the meeting, the supernatural world was in a state of deep uneasiness. Soon news of Grigori merging into the Chthonian Empire and Angels of Heaven accepting peace with the Empire were known across the entire supernatural world.
Of course, both Grigori and Heaven were weak compared to other factions; they could still be used to deal some damage to the Empire.
Now, one became one of it while the other had shut down entirely and recalled all of its forces. I went to Heaven and destroyed Heaven's System and lifted up the restrictions done on Angels through the Heaven's System.
I didn't expect that Yahweh would also use it to plant some restrictions on them.
The one that felt the greatest pressure was currently the Church. After Heaven shut itself and Heaven's Systems were basically destroyed, they have lost all communication with Heaven. After all pure Angels returned, they lost the military support. They were left only with a few humans on the Ultimate-Class and Sacred Gear users.
In the end, I predicted that soon, they would be destroyed, as their rate of danger fell to Zero, meaning there was a high probability that some Nobles of the Empire would attack the Church on their own to quell their grudges.
Even if Eques Ranked House attacked, it could deal Church a tremendous amount of damages, and if some Viceroy Houses joined the fray, it would be entirely annihilated within a span of weeks. For Eques-Ranked House meant that Head of the House was Ultimate-Class, and there were several other Ultimate-Class powerhouses in the House except for him, same for Viceroy, just with Legendary-Class and so on.
Of course, in the future, requirements would be adjusted as the strength of the Empire is growing day by day, but so is the personal power of the Nobles, as they are dedicated to training and getting stronger due to the nature of the Empire.

3rd POV
Kyoto, Japan, Earth
Rias arrived at Kyoto together with Akeno and Shirone and headed to meet Lady Yasaka, the Youkai leader and apparently the mother of her elder brother's child, which would make Yasaka her sister-in-law.
After she exited the train, she noticed that Lady Yasaka was already waiting there for them.
In her human form, she appears as a young woman with a voluptuous figure and very long blonde hair with matching eyes. She is a woman with delicate facial features, and her eyebrows are cut very short and round, a symbol of nobility. Her hair is usually tied in a loose ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs that end in a spiral, with tight bandages to keep it in place. She wore a traditional shrine maiden attire, and over that, she wore a white coat held closed by a red ribbon and a golden crown.
"Princess Rias, I welcome you to Kyoto."
Greeted her Yasaka as she bowed lightly to Rias.
"I thank you for your personal welcome, Lady Yasaka."
Rias bowed back to her as she thanked her.
Yasaka was, in the end, the leader of a faction, even though it was rather an insignificant faction compared to the Empire, but her personal strength was way above Rias, not to mention she might have had a child with her elder brother Sigmar.
"What is bringing you here, Princess Rias?"
Asked Lady Yasaka as she looked at Rias.
"My father sent me here with a proposal for the Youkai Species Lady Yasaka."
Said Rias as she looked at Yasaka, who instantly became much more serious.
"Of course, Your Highness, please follow me."
Yasaka signaled Rias to follow after her to the reverse side of Kyoto. As the major hub of the Youkai, Kyoto also had a reverse side, which was inhabited by Youkai creatures only; of course, people of other supernatural races were present, but in lower numbers than Youkai.
Soon, Yasaka led them to her house, which was an enormous Japanese-styled mansion guarded by fox youkai and Karasu Tengu.
After they arrived at Yasaka's residence, they noticed a young girl running to her. She had the appearance of an elementary school student. She had golden blonde hair tied in a ponytail and matching eyes. She also has nine golden foxtails and matching ears.
She wore the traditional Miko outfit and tall geta with white tabi. The sleeves of her haori feature a giant red star-shaped pentagram, surrounded by five smaller pentagrams in between the points.
"Kunou, you are here."
Said Yasaka affectionately, as Rias felt that the jade her father gave her started stirring violently when Kunou approached it.
'So she is indeed elder brother's daughter... this will either make things easier or more difficult to deal with.'
Thought Rias as she observed Yasaka chastising Kunou for running into the house and behaving inappropriately for a young lady in her position.
"This is my daughter, Kunou. Kunou say hello to Princess Rias Lucifer-Gremory of the Chthonian Empire of Baator."
Introduced Yasaka Rias to her daughter Kunou.
"Greetings, Princess Rias."
Said Kunou cutely as she made an elegant bow.
"Greetings, Young Lady of the West Youkai Faction."
Rias returned the greeting with a similar bow.
"Kunou and go and play while I will talk with Princess Rias."
Said Yasaka as Kunou ran off to play, while Rias and Yasaka went to a place where they could talk freely.
