"But it's not in the best interest of the three destroyed powers to tell Humans about this. After all, Angels and Demons both rely on Humans for their endless beliefs and tendencies to deal with Devils. Only the higher-ups of each faction were aware of it first. Valper also noticed it just before I killed him." Kokabiel fixed her clothes as she saw their 'funny' reaction.
"...There is no God...?" Yuuto mumbled blankly, "Then what do we believe when we waste our lives in that facility...?"
Xenovia felt limp in her knees, "...Y-you lied..."
Chuckling softly, Kokabiel went on to explain, "And it's not like another war will break out unless someone plans to cause it. In any case, each of the powers suffered a huge loss last time." Then gritting his teeth, "The bastard Azazel declared 'There will be no second war' and that was the end. I can't stand it! If only we Fallen Angels could take over, we wouldn't have to rely on Humans anymore!"
Asia did not believe what she heard so she asked again to make sure, "God is dead? Then aren't we really blessed by his love...?"
"That's right. You should be a pawn of God. There is no love! How can there be!? God has gone and His grace!
"Well, the system that God put in place to provide the power of blessing, exorcists, and the like continues to function, but compared to when he was alive, he said, the current era has seen a marked decline in that divine protective power and all those who make use of it."
Kokabiel then pointed to Yuuto, "That you are able to produce a Holy-Devil sword at all is proof of that. With the death of the God and Demon King, the balance between 'Good' and 'Evil' had been completely destroyed."
Asia slumps and forgets her duty to heal her comrades, "...N-no..."
Issei grabbed and supported him, "Asia! Stay together!"
'I feel the pain... He has devoted much of his life so far to God... I myself am not so different at one point.' Kiba thought as he watched Asia get lost in his own thoughts.
Ignoring his reaction, Kokabiel angrily declared, "War is coming! I'll take your head and show Lucifer and Michael that the Fallen Angels are in power!"
They could not expect any more reinforcements because they knew that Kokabiel would not waste any more time. Almost everyone has lost hope... 'Almost.'
With everyone remaining silent, Issei slowly separated from Asia and walked in front, "You must be kidding! You were there raving about starting a war but all you really did was interrupt my grand plan!"
Kokabiel was amused and asked, "Hooh... And what's up?"
Without hesitation, Issei clenched his fists and declared to the world, "I will become the Harem King!"
Everyone except Kokabiel was dumbfounded. They did not know what to think about Issei's proclamation.
"Hehehe... A harem? That's your wish, Red Dragon Emperor? Then just come with me and you'll get what you want! You can have all the women you want!"
Issei would be lying if the offer didn't tease her in the least, but she knew that there was much more to it than that and not her type of accepting women from others, "F*ck you! I don't' I don't need your woman! I'll get it myself!"
"Heh... Then die!" Kokabiel conjured another spear of light and was about to throw it at Issei who was preparing to sacrifice his body for Ddraig to increase his strength. However, before Kokabiel could do that, a dull grey blade flew straight into his face and he used his bare hands to fend him off, "Little girl?"
After she received first aid from Asia, Aika already felt much better even though her injuries were still left, "Rush up? Even that idiot still hasn't given up. But to be honest, we can only hope for a miracle to defeat you, and that idiot might be able to do it. But something shady is like a miracle, I don't like it, and I still haven't done it all. Why should I give up?"
"Haha! You still have something you can do? Good. Show me!"

"...Haven't... My intuition told me that something amazing was going to happen. But be prepared to take Kokabiel and Freed if anything happens without waiting for my orders." Azazel.
"...Understood."

Aika took a deep breath and looked around her. Asia was still deep in thought and Xenovia had already lost her will to fight. Yuuto was in better shape, but he was already dissatisfied. Rias, on the other hand, still had not given up as well, but she was too tired to continue. As for Issei, he did not know what he was planning, but he sure would not rely on something unknown.
The only people who can fight well are him, Sona, Akeno and... Koneko, who had started to gather Ki inside her body despite receiving a sharp glare from her, 'Haah... Too tight... And I still don't know his full capabilities... I can escape, but I also have to bring Kaichou and Koneko, but I doubt they will agree... I can only hope for a quick fight.'
"Hyoudou-kun's... Have you charged?"
"Huh?... Ah, yeah."
"Then move it to Kaichou and Akeno."
Issei first looked at Rias and she nodded, "Sure." He had no idea what he was planning, but he thought that it was better than his stupid, uncertain move.
Sona and Akeno quietly agreed and waited for further instructions from Aika. The fact that Aika was just an ordinary human not too long ago had escaped their minds. Even though they had no plans, so they could only agree.
"Kaichou, full power, please... And Himejima-senpai... It's the same for you." Sona immediately nodded while Akeno hesitated and gnashed her teeth before nodding. He remembered Kisuke's words about his priorities and he didn't plan to hold himself back despite the trauma, 'Right...' Clenching his fists, determination filled his eyes.
Aika sighed in relief after seeing this. He hears from Yoruichi that he is holding some of his powers for unknown reasons, and that power can make a difference in this situation.
The reason why he chose to transfer the power of Issei to Akeno and Sona rather than him or Koneko was because of the nature of their power. First, Koneko already had trouble controlling her Ki and upgrading it would only add to the burden on her body and she would probably die before she could even move. In his case, his strength was not magic-based. He did not know how it would affect him and chose not to take the risk. And besides, he would also overload his body with what he had planned and any further increase in strength would only be detrimental.
"Kaichou! Himejima-senpai! Put it all in one shot!" Aika grabs the 'candy' in her pocket and puts it in her mouth, swallowing it, "Koneko-chan! If you do something, you're next!"
Sona placed almost all of her Demon Power into the magic circle in her palm and a few seconds later, a giant snake with huge fangs appeared behind her. Akeno, on the other hand, took a deep breath and a strange pair of Devil and Fallen Angel wings appeared on her back, shocking everyone who did not know the story.
Ignoring their reactions, Akeno raised both her hands and bewitched a huge light made of Demon Power and Holy Power. Akeno and Sona nodded at each other before glaring at Kokabiel who was just silently watching them with interest.
Pointing their hands at him, the two of them ordered their magic to crash into him. In the middle of the road, the water snake and the huge lightning fused with most of the lightning fused with the snake fangs, "Good, good! But it's not enough!" Kokabiel shouted in excitement as she raised her hand to face him head-on.
