'Damn…' Jin felt exhausted. He had poured more than half of his strength in that strike.
Luckily, he thought of redirecting the strike at the least moment and held back, which is why he was so exhausted.
He had held back with all his strength at the cost of his stamina, otherwise the result would've been catastrophic.
Jin felt familiar and unfamiliar presences when the barrier shattered.
And those presences were closing in on him hurriedly.
Jin turned his head towards the direction of the familiar presences. Sirzechs and a magical girl outfit wearing woman flew towards him,their wings exposed behind then.
Jin flapped his fiery wings and approached them.
Michael and two of his subordinates watched them calmly at a distance. But their approach didn't stop.
Azazel along with Baraqiel were also closing in, but Azazel interrupted it when he found Val's unconcious body in a small human-shaped crater.
…
"Jin? What happened here? Where's Rias—"
"Brother! Don't worry… we're fine, let's first calm down and let Jin rest!"
"Bast-ba *Spits blood* h-how?" While they were busy with exchanging words. Kokabiel's upper body were regenerating, his skin bubbling as it did.
*Shing*
A yellow magic circle wrapped Kokabiel's body "Let's restore the damages first and deal with the Shinto's questioning"
Azazel used what seems to be binding magic to contain Kokabiel. He was with Baraqiel who carried an unconscious Val.
And Azazel was indeed right, they have to worry about restoring the destruction first and deal with politics.
"But first. Michael, Sirzechs, as the representative of your faction… I as the Governer of Grigori, Invite you on a three faction joint meeting to discuss the future of our faction. I'll prepare the details once we've dealt with urgent matters." Azazel extended his hands and two artifacts flew towards Michael and Sirzechs respectively.
Sirzechs and Michael nodded and accepted the artifact.
"That will enable me to contact you both for a limited time, a week.
"Alright, then we will first look for—"
"HAHAHA *COUGH* HE WAS RIGHT!?
THAT MAN WAS RIGHT!!!
GOD IS DEAD!
THE NEW GOD WILL REPLACE HIM AND TRANSCED!!!
AIZ—"
Kokabiel's body suddenly convulsed and bloated…
*SPLAT*
Death…
Teo figures one with blue hair and the other with broen chest-nut hair. Were excitedly approaching Michael, suddenly froze in shock.
Michael had a wry smile on his face, along with those present that knew of the truth.
A heavy silence filled the air.
The three leaders shared a knowing glance.
…
After Sirzechs learned the situation, he took this as an opportunity to form a connection with the Shinto Pantheon… though as a faction-leader within the Bible Pantheon, he couldn't make that decision on behalf of the three factions.
A compromise was made… Sirzechs, Michael, and Azazel, with an unofficial peace treaty. Conversed with the representatives of the Shinto Pantheon.
Amaterasu, Izanagi, Izanami and Inari… these three were the major gods of the Shinto Pantheon.
This was postponed due to the lack of management and urgency of the situation.
The two pantheons decidedly reached an ultimatum, the three factions were to resolve their situation before proceeding with negotiating with the Shinto Pantheon.
Official dates were procured. If conditions were met, the political negotiations by the two factions were to be resumed. Otherwise, it will be anulled along with the territories compromised within Japan.
…
The public was appeased and their memories were rewritten. The damages within Kuoh Town were miraculously repaired overnight.
And the residents were meticulously sorted out one by one.
In short, the perspective of the normal people were contained and the nation operated as usual.
…
After the fight, Jin ignored the politics and left it eith Rias to be dealt with… Then he focused on resting.
*DING*
Hearing the sound in his head, Jin groggily woke up. Jin sat up on the bed as he looked at the screen.

'I'M RICH!'
'Am I really that lucky? I even gained 666 points… thank you luck!' Jin clasped his hands in mock prayer as he celebrated within his mind.
'What should I enhance? Hmmmm… Ai's recently been obsessed with training. Should I enhance her? What if I enhance my Evil pieces?' Jin had many questions and experiments he wanted to do after gaining so many points!
He felt that he could start completing the main task sooner than he thought.
'I should enhance the evil pieces first, maybe it would benefit Ai—I have a task for that! I completely forgot!'
'Then should I complete that first? But Ai…'
While Jin was busy with his thoughts, the door opened and—
"Jin~?" A wild Rias has appeared!
"Rias!" Surprised, Jin felt that he needed to train his powerful senses more… when focused, his senses were extremely powerful.
But it seems that he needs to use it more so that he wouldn't be surprised like a mere human would.
"You were deep in thought Jin! What were you thinking about?" Rias's face were beaming…
Actually she had been watching Jin's focused face for awhile before she finally called up to him.
Rias wanted to tease Jin, it was the first time she saw that side of him 'So cute! *Sigh* Jin will definitely reel in more…' Rias quickly stopped her thoughts.
I'll leave it for the future me to handle.'
"Oh… I was just thinking of completing my peerage, Ai…" Jin honestly told Rias his earlier thoughts… except for the system of course!
"I see, you don't have to worry about Ai. She was also like this back then, well… It was worse back then…
But you're really gonna find and complete your peerage?
Ai will be jealous~"
Jin who heard this was confused "Eh? Why?"
Jin tilted his head… Indeed a lucky bastard wouldn't get it.
He, Jin, is a clueless lucky bastard who confidently declares his love the moment he felt it!
What's that? cultivating feelings?
Can it be eaten?
What? Dating? What's that? All he knows is that Rias and Ai loves him… Why can't he love them back?
"Pft… nothing, nothing… I'll help you then, but first you need to prepare for the upcoming three factions meeting.
Jin will become a key figure for the meeting."
'Oh? Doing a presentation? I can do that' underestimating the meeting, Jin felt that a presentation would be easy.
'I'd been doing presentations my whole life!'
"Don't worry too much Jin! I'll help you, we still have a week to prepare" Rias smiled, and reached her arms to hug Jin.
"What am I gonna do anyways?" Jin hugged Rias back and felt a peck on his cheek.
"You'll be assigned as the mediator of the peace treaty."
"What?"
"The mediator of the peace treaty… you'll probably become a leader as the reason for the peace treaty.
"Sorry… I think my ears lying"
"M-E-D-I-A-T-O-R"
"But I'm not a third party—" Jin saw Rias's mock angry face inch closer towards him and raised his hands in defeat.
"But because of you, Kokabiel's plan for war failed and instead became the plan for peace."
"…"
"Don't worry, I'll be here to make sure that my Jin is fully prepared."
'Fuck you Kokabiel!' Jin cursed Kokabiel in his mind.
Rias saw Jin's darkened expression and liven him up with a kiss.
*Smooch*
"…"
Seeing that it worked, Rias couldn't help but giggle and teased Jin.
…
There were many doubts regarding Jin's sudden leap in strength, but were soon bottled.
It would be revealed in the meeting.
Jin bad no idea about any of these complications.
…
