When Hades heard Izumi's words, a trace of fear flashed through his hollow eyes.
However—
The moment he remembered his hidden trump card, his confidence quickly returned.
"No," Hades replied calmly.
"I'm merely stating a fact."
"If someone were to suffer an accident during the battle…"
"Then what should happen to the territory they conquered?"
"That would be a problem too, wouldn't it?"
The moment he finished speaking, several figures nodded in agreement.
Among them were representatives of powerful factions—
Rizevim Livan Lucifer, Loki, and Indra, along with members of their respective forces.
When Odin saw Loki step forward, he glanced nervously at Izumi's expression.
Then the old god quickly raised his hand.
"I oppose this."
"Loki, if you want to support that idea, don't drag us into it!"
Odin had absolutely no intention of getting involved.
They weren't tired of living yet.
Remaining low-profile was the safest option.
But Loki simply shrugged, completely unconcerned.
"It doesn't matter."
"I don't need your support."
"I think Hades is right."
"If someone dies, the territory they conquered still needs someone to manage it."
"Even the people of Mount Sumeru would agree with that, wouldn't they?"
As he spoke, Loki turned to look at Indra and the other representatives of the Sumeru faction.
They exchanged glances.
Within seconds, an unspoken agreement was formed.
Even though everyone was supposed to be fighting on behalf of the DxD World, there were still countless political interests involved.
Nothing was ever simple.
Izumi quietly observed them.
Then his gaze swept across the entire room.
"I see."
"So…"
"Is there anyone else who agrees with them?"
"If there is, you can step forward now."
The room instantly fell silent.
The factions quickly made their positions clear.
Sirzechs Lucifer and the other devils naturally stood on Izumi's side.
Michael and the angel faction did the same—after all, Izumi was practically their future son-in-law now.
The human faction, led by Cao Cao, also chose Izumi without hesitation.
To them, Izumi was humanity's strongest protector.
The three Vampire Progenitors stepped forward as well.
After all, the Fourth Progenitor had been following Izumi all this time, and they had no interest in standing with the likes of Hades and Loki.
Several other factions hesitated for a moment before eventually choosing Izumi's side.
Within moments, the alliances were clear.
Izumi slowly looked at the group opposing him.
Most of them were notorious figures within the DxD world.
Rizevim Livan Lucifer, representing the Old Satan faction.
Hades, ruler of the Greek Underworld.
Loki, the trickster god of the Norse pantheon.
Indra, leader of the Deva faction.
And—
Someone else.
Grayfia's younger brother.
When Izumi noticed him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Grayfia's expression turned complicated.
But she said nothing.
That man had long since been abandoned by her.
Izumi slowly spoke.
"So…"
"You really want to cause trouble?"
"In that case…"
"I can't allow any of you to live."
The moment those words left his mouth—
The surrounding space suddenly distorted.
In the next instant, everyone present was forcibly dragged into Izumi's personal world.
The sudden change shocked Hades and the others.
But Izumi had no intention of wasting time.
He attacked immediately.
Hades roared in anger.
"You dare?!"
This wasn't how things were supposed to go!
According to his expectations, Izumi should have tried to compromise.
But this man—
He attacked without even negotiating!
Izumi sneered.
"And why wouldn't I?"
"At a time like this, you're still thinking about internal conflict."
"So why don't you all just die instead?"
As his voice fell—
The entire sky was suddenly filled with weapons imbued with God-slaying power.
Countless blades, spears, and divine weapons appeared overhead.
The next moment—
They rained down like a storm.
Hades and the others immediately unleashed their trump cards.
"ROOOOAR!"
Hades summoned his ultimate weapon—
Samael, the Dragon-Eater.
A grotesque being with the upper body of a fallen angel and the lower body of a dragon.
Samael possessed terrifying anti-dragon properties.
Even beings like Great Red or Ophis would face overwhelming suppression from its power.
And now—
Hades had summoned it without hesitation.
At the same time, Loki called forth his own monster—
Fenrir, the legendary wolf destined to devour gods.
Meanwhile, Rizevim unleashed even greater chaos.
He resurrected several Evil Dragons and even summoned the Beast Emperor, a creature once sealed away by the God of the Bible.
In an instant, the battlefield was filled with horrifying monsters.
Behind Izumi, the allied factions stared in shock.
Was this a joke?
These people had clearly been planning a rebellion from the start.
Izumi looked at the scene with clear disdain.
He hated people like this the most.
At a time when the world faced an external enemy—
These fools were still trying to create chaos and profit from internal conflict.
Izumi had no intention of tolerating it.
The only solution—
Was to eliminate them.
With a casual wave of his hand, the countless weapons in the sky descended like a divine storm.
"ROOOOAR!"
The Beast Emperor, Samael, and the other divine beings immediately sensed overwhelming danger.
Without hesitation, they tried to retreat.
But—
They had forgotten something important.
This was Izumi's world.
Within this domain, he existed like a Creator God.
How could he possibly allow them to escape?
"Freeze."
The moment Izumi spoke that single word—
Space itself solidified.
The falling weapons struck their targets instantly.
The weaker members of the opposing faction—those who hadn't even reached Transcender level—were annihilated on the spot.
Even Rizevim, the weakest among the Transcenders, was pierced through by countless divine weapons.
With a single wave of attacks—
More than half of the conspirators were wiped out.
The few survivors were left heavily wounded.
The most miserable of them all was Samael.
Izumi had deliberately focused his attacks on it.
After all—
Izumi himself possessed dragon blood.
Naturally, he found the Dragon-Eater extremely unpleasant.
The moment Samael appeared, a deep sense of disgust had risen within him.
So Izumi showed it absolutely no mercy.
Looking at the surviving enemies who couldn't even withstand a single barrage, Izumi's eyes were filled with contempt.
"This is all the strength you have…"
"And you still dared to stir up trouble?"
"I really wonder where you got your confidence from."
He raised his hand.
"Well then."
"Time to send you on your way."
Izumi snapped his fingers.
Instantly—
All the divine weapons embedded in the ground began to glow.
Then they exploded simultaneously.
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted in the distance.
The terrifying God-slaying power detonated at the center of the blast.
The combined force of countless divine weapons exploding at once was so overwhelming that even the observing gods felt their scalps go numb.
Who could possibly survive something like that?
Izumi was simply too terrifying.
Meanwhile—
The human faction led by Cao Cao was practically cheering.
Izumi's actions were unbelievably satisfying.
The people he had just killed were infamous figures.
In the past, many had been forced to tolerate them because of their power.
But now—
Watching them get slaughtered like chickens by Izumi felt incredibly refreshing.
It was pure, exhilarating justice.
