The celebration was about to begin, but Abel and the others were still chatting idly.
At this moment, a gentle breeze swept by. Feeling the breeze that called his name, Abel rubbed his brow.
Vali had arrived.
The matter with Kuroka and Koneko had been resolved. Vali shouldn't be here in the Underworld.
Although he didn't know why, Abel stood up and said, "Everyone, please continue chatting, I'll be excused for a moment."
Although the others were somewhat confused, they still nodded.
The next second, Abel disappeared from his original spot.
"It seems Abel has grown much stronger again." Riser looked at the disappearing Abel and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he turned to Sairaorg, "As long as we don't run into those two in this Rating Game, we'll be fine."
The younger generation beside him nodded in agreement.
In a forest.
Vali and Bikou sat at a stone table.
Bikou hugged his staff and said, "Hey, Vali, can this really call that guy over?"
"Of course."
Vali nodded, then sensed something. "See? Isn't he here?"
"Huh?"
While Bikou was momentarily stunned, a gentle breeze blew past and a figure appeared in the previously empty spot. "Vali, Bikou, long time no see."
"Abel, long time no see." Vali's lips curved upward into a meaningful smile.
Bikou scratched his head and greeted with a grin, "Yo, Abel, how have you been lately?"
"Not bad."
Abel crossed his arms and then continued, "What do you need me for?"
"How should I put it? It's a small matter."
As Vali spoke, a magic circle rose. "Please stay and chat for a while."
The magic circle flashed with strange light, enveloping Abel, Vali, and Bikou.
"Vali, what do you mean by this?"
Abel tapped the barrier, then turned back and said, "You know this thing can't trap me."
"I naturally know it can't trap you, but I didn't intend to trap you either." Vali crossed his arms, a smile on his face.
"After all, I'm just fulfilling a request from a partner to slightly hold you back."
Hearing Vali's words, Abel knew who that guy was.
Isn't it Loki?
Abel sat down and asked, "Is it Loki?"
"Hahaha. As expected, nothing can be hidden from you." Vali burst into laughter.
"That's right, I was indeed invited by Loki to hold you back for a bit."
Abel rubbed his brow helplessly.
Wouldn't it be better to have peace for a while?
First, the Old Satan faction disrupted the three-way talks. Now, Loki doesn't want Odin to sign the peace treaty, so he came to cause trouble. And they are all guys who joined the Khaos Brigade.
At this moment, Vali spoke again, "Holding you back is secondary, but the real purpose, I think you should be clear about it."
Abel smiled. "You want to have a spar with me, don't you?"
A hint of excitement flashed in Vali's eyes, and his previously unruly expression reappeared on his face.
"That's right. Ever since the three-way conference, I've been looking forward to fighting you."
Bikou excitedly waved his staff. "Haha, there's a show to watch."
Abel stood up, his aura surging around him. "Let's get warmed up."
Vali entered combat mode, his White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings unfolding behind him. His whole body glowed with white light, activating Balance Breaker.
Watching Vali enter Balance Breaker, Abel's lips curved upward, and he raised his right hand, the Boosted Gear appearing.
—
Abel's home.
Elsha, who was training, raised an eyebrow.
The Boosted Gear had been borrowed by Abel.
Looking at the Boosted Gear in Abel's hand, Vali became even more excited.
The battle of Red and White began again.
Abel had fiddled with the Boosted Gear before, and he could use Elsha's Boosted Gear.
Ddraig's voice sounded. "Hahaha, I didn't miss anything, did I?"
Abel said with a smile, "You came just in time. Are you ready, Ddraig?"
"Of course. Albion, come on! Let's fight!"
At this moment, Albion felt that Ddraig seemed to be broken. It seemed that anyone could use it.
Issei, Elsha, and Abel in front of him.
In human terms, Ddraig was like a public bus.
But how could he not respond to his opponent's challenge?
"Ddraig, come on! Go, Vali!"
"Hahaha! Let's go together, Abel!"
Balance Breaker: Scale Mail!
In an instant, the red and white light points collided.
—
Inside the castle, the celebration had already begun.
"Have you seen Abel?"
"He had something to take care of."
Sona, Rias, and the peerage members Abel brought to the banquet were all gathered together. They seemed to be waiting for Abel to return.
On the high platform.
"Thank you for your hard work, Baraqiel." Azazel said.
Baraqiel was followed by four people.
A long-bearded old man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and cardinal robes, accompanied by a beautiful girl.
And next to him was another white-bearded old man also with a beautiful girl.
They were the Norse chief god Odin and his Valkyrie Rossweisse, and the Greek god Zeus and the moon goddess Artemis.
The former was serving as Odin's bodyguard because she couldn't inherit her family's magic, while the latter had inherited the title of the previous moon goddess, Artemis.
Azazel didn't expect the Greek pantheon to come, but he still stepped forward to greet them.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Zeus."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Azazel."
Azazel then looked at Odin. "Long time no see, Odin."
"Hahaha, long time no see, you mischievous brat. What? Aren't you going to call me an old country bumpkin anymore?"
"Old man, at least there are new friends present."
Sirzechs, Ajuka, and the other two Satans walked over.
Sirzechs said, "My apologies for the long absence, His Highness Odin, Chief God of the North, and His Highness Zeus of Greece."
"Hahaha, Sirzechs, I have come at your invitation."
"The Greek pantheon is also interested in the peace and coexistence agreement."
Serafall, as a diplomat, stepped forward, slightly lifting her skirt and saying, "Welcome, Odin-sama, Zeus-sama."
Looking at the very conservative Serafall, Odin stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's a rare banquet, how can a young lady wear such conservative clothes?"
"Hahaha, old man Odin is right, young ladies should certainly display their beauty." Zeus laughed.
Serafall said, "I have a rather possessive little one at home, so this is the only way."
"Oh, that's a shame." Odin said regretfully.
Zeus nodded in agreement.
Roseweisse knew exactly what kind of person her chief god was. He was an old man who ran off to bachelor parties when he was in the North. He even went to the Goddess Club with Zeus late at night.
She looked at Artemis, intending to rein in their respective gods together, but Artemis was looking around as if searching for someone, her face full of anticipation. Seeing this, Roseweisse felt that she was unreliable.
She composed herself and stepped forward, saying, "Odin-sama, as the chief god, you need to have some self-respect. After all, you bear the responsibility of—"
Before she could finish, Odin interrupted her, "Roseweisse, it's because of this that you can't even get a single Heroic Spirit."
Zeus burst into laughter, "A Valkyrie who can't even find a Heroic Spirit? How interesting."
As a Valkyrie, not being able to find even one Heroic Spirit was a dereliction of duty. At this moment, their words were like a sharp sword piercing Roseweisse's chest. She stumbled and fell to her knees, her eyes welling up with tears.
"I-I want a boyfriend too! Woo woo!"
Odin sighed helplessly.
The surrounding new-generation devils were greatly shocked by this scene.
"My apologies. She is my current bodyguard. She's not bad-looking, but her personality is too rigid, which is why she doesn't even have a man."
Everyone smiled helplessly at Odin's words, expressing understanding.
Artemis asked, "Zeus, where's the person you promised to find for me? He's not here."
Zeus slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing. "Alright, I'll introduce you to a husband."
Then he walked over to Ajuka and whispered, "Ajuka, do you want a sister-in-law? If you just say the word, you can take this girl back. After all, your brother is quite fated with our Greek pantheon."
Ajuka pondered thoughtfully.
So that's why the Greek pantheon came. The cooperation was because they had taken a liking to his brother.
However, to promote peaceful development, he would unhesitatingly sacrifice Abel as a bond of peace with the pantheon.
"Zeus, you should know that my brother already has many girlfriends."
Zeus waved his hand indifferently upon hearing this. "What's the big deal? One more or one less doesn't matter. Artemis is the current Moon Goddess, and her strength is also good. Moreover, it can deepen our relationship, can't it?"
Ajuka stroked his chin, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
