The Princess of Lucifer ( Highschool DXD)

"Hey, Hades, do you have any ideas on what to do about this? We can't let Indra get away with this. Knowing that guy, he would definitely not stop after just one try. He may come for other pantheons. " Anubis asked as he looked at Hades.

Like Indra, Hades is also one of the people who ranked high in the Top 10 list.

"Well, although I could probably find some solid evidence, I don't think that would do anything to Indra. Zeus would definitely stay out of this, as he is opposed to me. And my guess is that Indra is daring us to prove his crimes, as even if we did manage to convince the public, that guy would curse at us and tell us to fuck off, " Hades said in his honest opinion.

"Yeah, that madman would definitely like to provoke a great war, " Izanami nodded in agreement. She too didn't like Indra, as he is too arrogant.

"But why would Indra even steal any souls in the first place? He isn't trying to make a group of puppets like Odin, right? " Hela asked as she tapped the table.

To this question, everyone was silent. Even they had no answer to this. Although souls are valuable for collecting faith, they are worthless if you aren't a death god or don't have a divinity for death.

"Although he couldn't use souls, he could always use them as a bargaining chip, " Azrael said suddenly, making everyone look at her.

"Although this is just a guess, I think I may know the reason why Indra went to all this trouble. " Azrael said as she tapped the table.

"Firstly, we could be sure that Indra is involved with Khaos Brigade. And I think rather than joining them, he might have struck some deal with the Khaos Brigade's true mastermind. "

"Wait, you guys actually know who the real mastermind really is? " Hela asked in surprise. She didn't think the Shadow Garden would be able to uncover such a secret in such a short amount of time.

"Yes, we actually have been aware of this for a long while now, " Azrael said, making Hela and the others raise one eyebrow at this.

"Why did you keep quiet about this, Azrael? " King Yan asked the question finally.

"Because the real mastermind behind Khaos Brigade is Rizevim Livan Lucifer, " Azrael said.

"Oh." Everyone opened their eyes wide as they realized why Azrael was quiet about this.

"Your pantheon really has some terrible luck, " Hades couldn't help but say.

Most pantheons didn't like the biblical faction due to all the things that happened in the past. And even now their reputation isn't improving, as the devils are constantly making trouble everywhere with their peerage system.

And add this to the mix—yeah, there is no way the biblical faction could get away without getting themselves the label of 'the source of all trouble '.

"So what is this deal with Rizevim and Indra? " Izanami asked, trying to change the subject.

"Well, as far as I know, Rizevim has the sacred gear Sephiroth Graal that allows one to tap into the cycle of reincarnation. Although this is my speculation, I suspect that this could also bring some beings, such as great evil and chaotic gods from the past, back to life if they managed to sacrifice enough souls to balance the cycle. " Azrael said, making everyone stand up in shock.

"Is that even possible? " Yama asked in shock. Although many gods come to his hell to demand he release their comrades' souls. But even then, if the soul had entered the cycle of reincarnation or had already lost its ego, they wouldn't be able to resurrect anyone.

And even gods would only take less than 24 hours to lose their ego after they die; unless one comes to him immediately, Yama would not release their souls even if the person asking was Shiva. And besides, each time someone is resurrected, they would suffer some soul damage and would lose much of their power and potential every second they are left in a soul state.

Gods also knew this, which is why everyone would come immediately if they wanted to resurrect their companions. This is common sense.

"Well, as everyone knows, Sephiroth Graal has the ability to peer in the reincarnation cycle and also manipulate one's soul to various degrees. But what no one knows is that the Sephiroth Graal has a direct connection to the reincarnation cycle. Rizevim must have wanted to use this connection and bring back some evil chaotic gods using the past records. " Azrael spoke with a grave tone.

"Use the souls as currency and bring back the past records of those gods and bring them back to this world with their full strength, " Hades, who was knowledgeable about sacred gears, spoke as he pieced together everything.

"How sure are you of this, Azrael? " King Enma asked.

"Well, I'm pretty sure of this. " Azreal said. After all, this is the conclusion that both she and her daughter came to after analyzing all the data we have.

"But even if Rizevim could bring those evil gods back to life, would they even help either Indra or Rizevim? " Izanami asked.

"Yes, but you are missing one crucial detail there, Izanami. Who are both Rizevim and Indra? They are psychopaths, no less crazy than any of those evil gods. And both of them have the clear goal of causing chaos. So they didn't need any of the evil gods to cooperate at all. " Anubis answered as he slumped on the chair. He felt the future was very dark.

"Yeah, they just need to show them the direction, and those gods would come to their respective pantheons for revenge. " Hela said with a sigh.

She could already foresee those ancient beings who were long forgotten, the future coming for revenge.

Just as the atmosphere was turning very depressing, Azrael's phone vibrated.

Azrael frowned as she took it out of her pocket. She swore she put it on silent before.

Unlocking her phone, she found that her daughter had sent her a new message. Reading the message, a smile slowly began to form on her face.

"It seems we may be able to solve at least one of our problems, " she said.

...

In a cloudy place that could only be considered heaven stood a grand castle that was decorated with gold.

In this golden palace there stood a grand throne room that would dazzle many beings. And in this grand throne room, there was a grand throne that was more grand than anything one could imagine.

Many gods and divine beings knelt down towards this throne as their eyes held deep respect and reverence. Basking in this reverence was Indra with his out-of-character beach shorts, floral shirt and a pair of sunglasses.

Had it not been for the arrogance that could be seen even through those black sunglasses, no one could have imagined this person is the King of Gods and Lord of Heaven, Indra. The person who always gets his ass handed to him by Shiva.

"Lord Indra, all of the vanguard troops have retreated as per your orders. " One of Indra's generals spoke respectfully as he clasped his hand while kneeling on one knee. Although he was very puzzled by his lord's out-of-character order, he still obeyed it regardless of his personal opinion.

"Good, tell them to take this time to catch up with their rest and improve their strength; the final battle will be near very soon, " Indra said with a grin that was filled with arrogance and confidence.

Indra's words shock everyone. They knew perfectly what the final battle meant. This is the battle where Lord Indra and Lord Shiva would fight it off personally and end it once and for all.

Just as everyone was shocked at this, suddenly the throne room doors were opened, and a messenger god rushed forward. He then knelt in front of Indra in the forefront, keeping his head down in silence.

"Matali, tell me, why are you intruding in my court?" Indra asked with a frown of displeasure.

"Lord Indra, forgive me for my rudeness. I had no choice, as I brought important news to your lordship, " Matali, the messenger of the king of Gods, said with his head still bowed.

"Then tell me, what is this news that you, my messenger, think is so important that you would intrude in my court? " Indra asked, a little interested.

"My Lord, it's that... "

Just as Matali was about to say it, everyone in the hall suddenly heard someone shout,

"INDRA, YOU SON OF A BITCH, YOUR DAYS OF CRIME ARE OVER. WE ALREADY HAVE YOU SURROUNDED; YOU BETTER GIVE UP RESISTING AND CONFESS YOUR CRIMES WILLINGLY, OR ELSE EVEN SHIVA WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP YOU. "
