"I am Rossweisse," she said with a polite bow. "Pleased to assist."
Despite Badr's confidence in his ability to handle Loki alone, he welcomed the reinforcements. "The more, the merrier," he mused. Let's give Loki the beating of a lifetime
..Later That Night
The group retired to their rooms to rest, preparing for the battle ahead. The Maou had provided them accommodations in a luxurious hotel on Maou territory.
Badr, fresh from his shower, lounged in bed, enjoying the rare moment of calm. His solitude was interrupted by a soft knock at the door. Without hesitation, he opened it, sensing Rias's presence.
She stood there in a violet nightgown, her expression a mix of apology and nervousness. The sheer elegance of her outfit added a layer of allure.
"Sorry to bother you... I couldn't sleep. I guess I'm just anxious about tomorrow," she admitted with a sheepish smile.
Badr smiled warmly. "Come in."
Rias entered, slipping off her nightgown and sliding under the covers beside him. Her flawless skin and graceful figure were mesmerizing.
"...Why are you staring like that?" she teased.
"Just wondering if you've gotten even more beautiful," Badr replied playfully, lying beside her and pulling her close.
"Still the same, I think?" Rias murmured, though a blush crept up her cheeks.
Badr chuckled. "Feels like there's more to appreciate."
His hands traced her figure, eliciting a mix of laughter and shivers.
"You're such a naughty boy... I knew coming to you was a mistake. You never behave yourself," she said, her tone playful but affectionate.
"Do you mind?"
"...No," Rias whispered, snuggling closer. "Not one bit."
The tension eased as the two shared quiet, tender moments, their bond growing even stronger. When sleep finally claimed them, they did so in each other's embrace, ready to face the challenges awaiting them.

Chapter 175: Battle Against Loki

~ Drop some Power Stones ????
<><><><>
The next day, as the seal on Loki was about to break, everyone had gathered at the designated location.
Sona Sitri, along with two of her peerage members, joined the Gremory group led by Rias, accompanied by ace angel Irina Shidou and Valkyrie Rossweisse. Together, they formed a formidable alliance.
In front of them, a diamond-shaped barrier floated midair. This was the seal placed by Ajuka Beelzebub, imprisoning the Norse god Loki after his assault the previous day.
"The time is near. The seal will break soon," Rias announced, her tone steady. Though she had been anxious the night before, her composure now spoke volumes of her resolve.
"Loki's power is overwhelming. At full strength, he is a God on par with the Maou. But if we work together..." Sona began strategizing, her gaze drifting toward Badr.
"Can you hold him off?" she asked directly.
Badr offered a small smirk. "Guess we'll see."
He turned to the seal just as it cracked. A resonant hum filled the air before the barrier shattered in a brilliant burst of light.
From within emerged a man clad in a flowing white robe, his silver hair gleaming under the dim light. His expression was sharp, his presence commanding.
"Damn that Beelzebub and his petty tricks," Loki muttered, his voice dripping with disdain. His piercing gaze swept across the gathered group.
"And what is this?" he sneered. "A bunch of nobodies? Pathetic."
Raising his hand lazily, Loki summoned forth a massive spatial ripple. With a thunderous roar, a colossal wolf emerged, a creature so enormous it seemed to blot out the sky. Its feral growl sent shivers through the air.
"Be careful! It's Fenrir!" Sona warned, her voice tense.
Rossweisse stepped forward, attempting diplomacy. "Loki-sama, please, stop this. There's no need for such drastic measures!"
Loki's eyes flicked to her, cold and dismissive. "A Valkyrie? Amusing. But you're no match for me."
With a casual wave, Loki summoned more creatures: two slightly smaller wolves and a massive serpent.
"These are Skoll and Hati, Fenrir's offspring. And this," he gestured to the serpent, "is a replica of Jormungandr. Let's see how you fare against them."
With a bored gesture, he commanded, "Kill them."
A crimson aura flared around Rias as she stepped forward, her magic surging. "Don't underestimate us!"
She unleashed a massive wave of red flames, forcing even Fenrir to take a step back.
"Impressive," Loki remarked, "but ineffective. Fenrir cannot be harmed by such weak attacks."
Fenrir growled, emboldened by Loki's words. But Rias smirked. "I'm not alone."
Sona and her peerage joined the fray, their combined attacks targeting Hati and driving the wolf backward. Meanwhile, Xenovia and Irina stepped in to intercept Skoll, their weapons glowing with Sacred light.
"We'll handle these beasts, President!" Xenovia called out.
Rias nodded, turning her focus to the serpent alongside Rossweisse. "Understood. Let's deal with Jormungandr."
Loki, observing from above, frowned. "Annoying pests. I suppose I'll have to intervene."
Raising his hand, he unleashed a beam of destructive light toward Rias's group.
Before the beam could strike, Badr appeared in a flash, his Sacred shield materializing in front of him. The beam collided with the barrier, dissipating harmlessly.
As the dust settled, Badr stood tall, his gaze locked on Loki.
"And who might you be?" Loki sneered.
Badr smirked, his tone mocking. "Don't worry. You'll remember me once I've dealt with you."
Loki's eyes narrowed in irritation.
He launched a flurry of attacks, magical projectiles raining down like a storm. But Badr dodged with ease, moving at lightning speed as he shielded his allies. Each missed attack left craters in the ground.
Placing Rias back with her group, Badr drew his King Sword, its blade gleaming with an otherworldly light.
"Let's not waste time," he muttered, activating his Queen Promotion. His aura flared as his power surged, his presence now overwhelming.
"Oh?" Loki raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "A devil using the chess promotion system? Interesting. Let's see how far that power takes you."
Badr met Loki's gaze, unshaken. Channeling his magic into the [King Sword], he activated another ability.
With his strength amplified, Badr's aura soared to unprecedented heights. The ground beneath him cracked as the air itself seemed to tremble.
Loki's smirk faltered, but his confidence remained. "Impressive. Let's see if you can back it up."

Chapter 176: Don't Say I'm Bullying You
~ Support & Read 12 Advanced Chapters on My Patreon!
~ Drop some Power Stones ????
<><><><>
The surge of Badr's magic reached a crescendo, his power amplifying twentyfold. His overwhelming presence created a tangible tension in the air, and even Loki, couldn't suppress a twitch of his eyelid.
"This little devil..." Loki muttered, his eyes narrowing. For the first time, he sensed true danger emanating from the mortal before him.
Raising his hand, Loki summoned a swirling ring of divine energy, which rapidly expanded into a massive circular blade. The edges gleamed with destructive energy as the blade hurtled toward Badr with incredible speed.
Without flinching, Badr held his ground. His [King Sword] blazed with golden light as he swung it horizontally, meeting the attack head-on.
The clash sent shockwaves rippling across the battlefield as the divine blade split in two, veering off to either side. The severed halves tore through the distant landscape, obliterating entire mountains in their wake.
The spectators below-Rias, Akeno, and the others-were left momentarily speechless. Even the sheer aftermath of Loki's attack was beyond anything they'd ever seen. Yet, Badr stood unscathed, his blade unwavering in his hand.
"That power..." Akeno murmured. "This isn't a battle we could even survive, let alone win."
Above the battlefield, Badr and Loki exchanged blow after blow. Each swing of Badr's sword tore open rifts in space, the resulting shockwaves demolishing everything in their path.
Loki retaliated with bursts of divine energy, each attack aimed with lethal precision. The sky was alight with energy, a chaotic symphony of destruction.
On the ground, Saji watched intently, gripping his [Absorption Line] tightly. His sacred gear pulsed with latent energy, ready to be unleashed.
Though his strength was leagues below the combatants in the sky, he had a critical role to play. He only needed the right moment to act.
"I'll restrain him," Saji muttered to himself. "And Badr will finish him."
High above, Loki unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts, each strike faster than the last. The jagged arcs of divine energy illuminated the battlefield as they streaked toward Badr.
Yet, he was already moving, his form a blur as he weaved effortlessly between the deadly bolts. Each missed strike exploded against the ground, carving massive craters into the desolate terrain.
In response, Badr poured his immense energy into the [King Sword]. The blade hummed with power, its light growing brighter with every passing second.
Then, as if answering his call, an enormous, ancient city materialized in the sky. Its towering walls stretched endlessly, casting a foreboding shadow over the battlefield. The [Eternal Dusk City] loomed ominously, its sheer presence exuding an aura of finality.
The oppressive weight of the city's presence was palpable. On its towering black walls, rows of soldier statues stood motionless, their lifelike forms eerily silent. Rias and her team, watching from below, couldn't shake the feeling that the statues were... moving.
But Badr had no time for speculation. His focus was singular.
He raised his sword high. The air grew still, the tension suffocating.
"[King's Judgment]!" he roared, his voice resonating across the battlefield.
A colossal beam of light erupted from his blade, carving through the sky as it descended toward Loki. The sheer magnitude of the attack dwarfed anything the battlefield had seen thus far.
The radiant energy engulfed the god entirely, and for a brief moment, the world seemed to stand still.
Then, chaos erupted.
The ground quaked violently as shockwaves tore through the battlefield. The light was blinding, its brilliance outshining the sun itself. The force of the attack shattered the earth, creating chasms that stretched for miles. Dust and debris filled the air, obscuring everything.
When the dust finally settled, Loki emerged from the devastation, his white robes tattered and his face bloodied. His eyes, once filled with arrogance, now burned with rage.
"Impressive," Loki admitted, his voice cold and measured. "You're stronger than I expected. But you're still not enough to defeat me."
Badr remained calm, though inwardly he felt a pang of regret. Despite the overwhelming power of his attack, Loki had endured.
"Not bad," Badr said, gripping his sword tightly. "But I was hoping that would end things."
Loki's expression twisted into a sneer. "You'll regret not finishing me while you had the chance."
With a wave of his hand, Loki summoned reinforcements. Five massive serpents, each resembling the mighty Midgardsormr, slithered into existence. Their bodies coiled ominously as they surrounded Badr and the others.
"Great," Rias muttered. "Now he's mass-producing Midgardsormr replicas."
Loki's laughter echoed across the battlefield. "Let's see how long you last against these creatures. And don't forget, Fenrir is still very much alive."
Indeed, on the ground, Rias and her team were locked in battle with Fenrir and its offspring. The addition of the serpents stretched their already limited resources to the breaking point.
"You've got your hands full now," Loki taunted. "And when Fenrir is done with your friends, it'll come for you."
Badr sighed, glancing at the chaos below. "This is getting tiresome."
Then, to Loki's surprise, Badr's figure blurred. A moment later, two identical versions of him stood side by side.
"What...?" Loki's eyes narrowed, his composure faltering for the first time.
Badr smirked. "Don't Say I'm Bullying You."

Chapter 177: The Ultimate Defense Skill
~ Support & Read 12 Advanced Chapters on My Patreon!
~ Drop some Power Stones ????
<><><><>
Previously, Badr's ability to create a Clone came with many restrictions.
The skill, much like the [Queen Promotion], required Rias to designate an enemy "central target" or function exclusively within a Rating Game.
But with Badr's [Absolute Control], those restrictions were rendered meaningless.
Now, Badr had complete mastery over every ability in his arsenal. The limits imposed by the chess piece rules no longer applied to him.
This allowed him to freely use [Promotion] and [Clone], abilities once bound by the framework of Rating Games.
As Badr's clone emerged, radiating power equal to his own, Loki was left speechless.
The God of Mischief, who once stood proud and confident, now felt a gnawing sense of dread.
Before this, Badr already wielded strength equivalent to a Maou. Now, with a fully powered clone?
How was anyone supposed to contend with such absurd power?
Loki had believed that his forces, led by Fenrir and bolstered by other monstrous allies, would grant him a decisive advantage. But the arrival of Badr's clone shattered his confidence entirely.
"Oh, what perfect timing! That giant wolf Fenrir is all yours!" Rias said, her spirits soaring.
Beside her, Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra exchanged silent looks of astonishment.
As Rias envisioned the upcoming Rating Game tournament, her thoughts brimmed with optimism. With such an overwhelming ally in her service, the championship seemed all but guaranteed.
Badr's lips curled into a smirk as his clone flew toward Fenrir, calling out to Xenovia.
