(Your POV)
Irina, Bennia, and I ran over to the part of Auros where we heard the person screaming 'Oppai' for seemingly no reason. We soon arrived at a large town center, and I saw that there were three dragons here, Grendel, Ladon, and Azi Dahaka. The three dragons were facing off against Issei in Crimson Dragon Promotion, Yuto using the Glory Drag Trooper, Gasper not using his balance breaker. Koneko using senjutsu, Loup in his werewolf form, Saji using his sacred gear I can't remember the name for, and Xenovia using Ex Durandal. I noticed how Asia and Rossweisse were both on a flying Viking boat, Ryuuteimaru by my guess. I was confused about the boat until I remembered Asia can heal people over large distances. Atop of the battlefield using their wings, Rias, Ravel, and Akeno had their respective magic energies in hand.

"Rias, where's Sona?!" Irina asked before using her rapier to try and stab Azi Dahaka, only for the rapier to bounce off the dragon's scales. "...I'm honestly not sure why I had my hopes up that it would work."

"Irina, get back!" I used my elemancy to control the wind in Irina's wings to pull her away from Azi Dahaka's leg, just before one of his heads attempted to bite down on the girl.

"Sona's busy escorting the kids and their families to the magicians!" Saji informed us before jumping out of the way of Grendel's fire breath. "The magicians think they can  teleport the families out of here."

"That's assuming they'll survive in the next hour." Ladon, the half tree half dragon thing, pointed up to reveal at least one hundred pitch black dragons. "We've been busy reviving more dragons, but we're merciful, so we're giving you one whole hour to accept your fates."

"Kurogame Kamikira Genbu!" I tossed Pluto into the air as Genbu turned into it's third form taking the form of a wheel with chains connected to a series of colossal sized objects. "Junkyard Seal!"

My body covered itself in armor as Grendel attempted to crush me using his claw, but I blocked the giant arm before swinging my colossal flail at Grendal's chin, kicking his head upwards before launching the spearhead into Grendal's chest, but before it could pierce his scales, a gold colored barrier appeared in front of Grendel's chest, somehow deflecting my spearhead. I looked to the side, and saw Landon's eyes glowing a gold color. Out of nowhere, Akeno flew past me and pulled my hand, pulling me out of the way of a flaming lightning bolt coming from Azi Dahaka.

"Careful (Y/N), Grendel may be a powerful dragon, but Azi Dahaka is a master magician, and Ladon makes barriers that we haven't found a way to bypass yet." Akeno warned me. "Our top priority is protecting Rossweisse and Asia, for obvious reasons."

"Because Asia is our healer, and Rossweisse may still be Euclid's target because she knows something about Trihexa." I recalled those reasons before creating a magic circle. "I really should have brought my Longinus Project with me."

"Is it done?" Akeno questioned before we both jumped up to avoid a series of ice spikes emerging from the ground.

"Not yet, but I think I know a power source that could put it on par with a Longinus." I launched the axe and flail of Genbu towards Ladon, but he put up a layered barrier in front of himself. "Only problem is, I left it at home so Vagus and the others can work on it when they have the time."

"Well we could really use the help of another Longinus right about now!" Rias charged up a massive orb of destruction over her head before launching it towards Azi Dahaka, who created a wormhole to deflect the attack upwards.

"If you need a Longinus, then I'll make it possible." I took a breath in, and created a series of needles made from purple flames above Grendel's head. "Incinerate Anthem!"

"Be careful, it's the burning cross, so if even a spark hits anyone except me or you, they'll be burned!" Irina shouted as she and Xenovia used their wings to soar in the sky.

I took heed to Irina's warning, but still sent down a barrage of flaming needles onto Grendel's body. Saji, Kiba, Issei, and Koneko jumped back to avoid possibly getting damaged from the flames. Grendel's back and wings were both engulfed in purple and black flames, causing the dragon to let out an agonized pain. I summoned three of my grenades in my hand and pulled the pins out of all three of them before throwing all of them into Grendel's open mouth. All three grenades went off inside Grendel's throat, causing a fire-work explosion to go off in the dragon's throat. I then gathered some useful information, Landon's barriers aren't automatic, and require Ladon to activate them manually. Plus, it appears that he needs to know what exactly he's defending against. Like he was able to see Genbu as a threat because it's obviously a threat, but he doesn't know what grenades are, so he didn't protect Grendel against them.

"Gasper, is there any chance you can freeze Ladon in place?" I knew this was a tall order, but if my idea were to work, we need all the odds we can get.

"I can probably d-do it with my balance breaker, but I d-don't have any control over that!" Gasper's stutter was getting better, so there's that. "If you can, t-try taking my sacred gear and using it!"

"But Forbidden Balor View isn't a Longinus." I noticed Azi Dahaka was looking at Gasper, so I jumped in front of the vampire boy and raised my arms defensively while holding Genbu up by the wheel.

"A-Azazel told me that Forbidden Balor View may be a Longinus because Steve's process of making Longinus takes time, and they go through a kind of stunted stage before turning into Longinus." Gasper gasped as a beam of concentrated flames struck my chest and arms. "(Y/N)!"

"I'll be okay, but if you're certain, I'll try using Forbidden Balor View." I shrugged off the concentrated fire as though it were nothing. "HOWEVER, you MUST get to a safe place when I do."

"A-Alright, I'll turn into some bats after you take my sacred gear!" Gasper informed me, and I began focusing.

"Alright...Forbidden Balor View, come to me!" I called out to the sacred gear, and amazingly, I could feel something with my eyes. "I'll give it a test run, so I can help you get better with it."

"G-Good Luck, and please don't die!" Gasper then turned into a swarm of bats, and I looked at Ladon.

"Rias, I'll take Ladon!"

With that said, I spun Genbu and launched the pendulum towards Ladon. Ladon of course created a golden barrier in front of himself to protect himself, but then I used Forbidden Balor View to freeze him in place. I could feel an immeasurable strain in my eyes. I ignored the strain and launched the spade part towards Ladon, covering it in Incinerate Anthem's purple flames. The blade slashed Ladon's two left legs as I jumped upwards. I raised Genbu's flail into the air before covering it in purple and black flames. I pulled the chain, bringing the flail down atop of the still frozen Ladon's head. I tightly closed my eyes to give my eyes a break. I needed to rely solely on my earth sense to rest my eyes.

Maybe I should give Gasper a break every once in a while.

"Clever boy, you must be the Reincarnation of the Creator that everyone speaks of." Ladon figured out who I was rather quickly and lowered his head respectfully. "It is an honor to fight against you, I am Ladon, the dragon that guards the tree of golden apples."

"It's nice to meet you too, Ladon, please bear no hatred towards me when you perish." I then noticed some kind of tendril fly past me. "What the?"

"Don't worry (Y/N), it's just me." A man dawning black armor walked towards me and stood at my side. Wait, his voice...it sounds exactly like Saji?! "It's me, Saji. I unlocked this new mode, and based it off Issei's Balance Breaker. I'm calling it Malebolge Vritra Promotion."

"Kind of seems like overkill to use two Longinus, an artificial sacred gear, a god killing relic, and the balance breaker of four different sacred gears at once." I examined Ladon. "Any chance you can handle his barriers?"

"I can do more than that, Malebolge Absorption Line!" Saji sent three tentacles towards Ladon's leg. "I'll wear him down, and you finish him off."

"Got it."

I stomped on the ground, causing rocky spikes to jet upwards from the ground, Jadon used his wings to soar upwards, allowing him to dodge both Saji's tendrils and my earth spikes. I launched my axe towards Jadon, but the dragon was surprisingly agile, and even managed to dodge the axe. Saji tried sending a pillar of black flames towards Ladon, but the tree dragon managed to dodge that too. I grew annoyed, so I grabbed the cannon part of Genbu and aimed it at Ladon, then I shot a beam of purple and black flames towards the dragon. Before Ladon could dodge this time, I used Forbidden Balor View to freeze Ladon in place, the beam of flames struck Ladon's chest head on, and Saji's tentacles managed to latch themselves onto Ladon's leg.

"Oh god, you're going to recreate one of those things Issei watches aren't you?" I asked Saji with worry in my voice.

"ISSEI, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SERIOUS TALK ABOUT WHAT (Y/N) WATCHES WITH YOU!" Rias sent a massive orb of destruction towards Ladon, tearing a massive hole in one of his wings.

I deactivated Forbidden Balor View and Ladon came crashing down, with Saji absorbing so much magic from the dragon that I could see Ladon physically aging right in front of me. Azi Dahaka was too busy facing off against Irina, Xenovia, and Kiba to be able to help his ally, so all he could do was watch while Ladon was struck in the face by Genbu's flail. Ladon landed on his back, creating a massive thud that shook the ground with his impact. Ladon tried rising up from the ground, but Saji's tentacles appeared to be sapping the magic energy from the dragon. Wait...it's not just magic.

"Saji, what exactly are you absorbing from Ladon?" I asked while closing my eyes to reset the strain and creating a wheel of water behind me. The wheel of water constantly spun, constantly gaining momentum and getting faster with every rotation.

"Using this mode, I absorb everything from a target; life essence, magic, stamina, all of it." Saji informed me, and I stepped back from the boy, slightly scared of him now. "Why'd you step away?"

"I can't control Vritra sacred gears, or any other sacred gear unless they're a Longinus in my hands." I informed Saji while aiming my cannon at Ladon for a second attack. "Okay Saji, let's finish this fight so we can get to helping the others."

"Got it boss man." Saji watched as I fired a beam of purple flames from my cannon once more, and this time, Ladon had no barrier to protect himself with.

The concentrated beam of flames went straight through Ladon's chest, and the tree dragon collapsed onto the ground, with a crimson red liquid pouring from the dragon's chest. I noticed multiple presences not too far away, so I turned around to see Sona leading a line of people towards a nearby building, the building that the wizards were hosting a meeting at. Following her close behind, the children and their parents. Guarding them, Momo was casting a barrier over them while the rest of Sona's peerage stood guard of the families. All of us noticed them and got into defensive positions to properly protect the families.

"Hey Sona, what's the plan?" Saji asked while Azi Dahaka and Grendel were now backing off, but not retreating entirely.

"The magicians think they know a way out of here, so we're getting them to the magicians while they work on a magic circle that can teleport the children and their families to safety." Sona answered.

"We'll make sure no one hurts them." I promised, but then something unexpected happened.

Issei's familiar ship, Ryuuteimaru or whatever, was engulfed in a silver colored explosion. All of us focused our attention on that, and Sona began rushing for the family to enter the building for safety. As for me, I flew towards the explosion using my devil wings. I saw a petite blonde figure fall from the explosion, so I caught her bridal style before landing on the nearby building's rooftop. Wait, Rias said there were two people on Ryuuteimaru, Asia and Rossweisse, so where is Rossweisse? I turned my head to see the boosted gear's balance breaker in the air, holding something. I instantly knew that person wasn't Issei for two reasons. One, Issei was in his Crimson Queen Promotion fighting off Grendel, and two, instead of green, the gems on this armor was silver. The armored man looked at me by turning around, allowing me to see that he was holding an unconscious Rossweisse in his arms.

"Now that I get a good look at her, Rossweisse looks a lot like my beautiful sister, maybe I'll take her into my beautiful Grayfia~" Euclid stroked the unconscious Rossweisse's hair.

"Euclid, let my precious rook go right now." Rias glared at Euclid, and in response, the devil laughed.

"Why should I?" Euclid questioned the red headed girl, while looking like he's already won. "She knows quite a bit about Trihexa, looks like my wonderful and beautiful sister, and is quite submissive, something my sister never was."

"Euclid, I won't warn you twice, let her go." I set Asia down, and I set down a sentry beside the unconscious Asia, a sentry that was just like the one I set up with that giant serpent, but this sentry also deployed a force field.

"You know, I noticed that you guys are trying to get all those families to those magicians." Euclid looked down as the last of the families entered the meeting building, then he clicked his tongue. "Bad move."

"What are you getting at, Euclid?" Rias asked as Issei stood behind Rias, boosting his power.

"We know that you all sealed the knowledge of Trihexa and ancient magic of the magicians to make sure we didn't use those resources." Euclid's voice sounded too giddy. "I have two questions for you. Do you know who placed those seals in the first place? How certain are you sure that's the only thing we did to them?"

"You didn't..."

"That's right, we've turned all those magicians into time bombs!" Euclid laughed so loudly it sounded more like a cackle. "And with a snap of my fingers, they'll all explode, killing all those poor innocent children."

"Dude, they're kids, why are you getting them involved in this?!" Issei questioned in a pissed off tone before changing his boosters. "I'LL KILL YOU YOU BASTARD!"

"Uh oh, language~"

*Snap*

I expected an explosion to engulf the area, but instead of an explosion, everything went silent. I looked around, everything was now black and white for some reason. I looked at Issei, who was charging at Euclid with his fist raised back, but weirdly enough, they were both frozen in place in the air. Now that I looked around in more detail, everyone was frozen in space. Grendal, Azi Dahaka, the Gremory group, there were no exceptions. All except for me. Why was I the only person who was not affected by this time stop ability? My answer came to me when I felt chills encompass my entire body, and atop of one of the roofs, I saw something massive. The massive thing looked like a wispy black turtle that was the size of one's mansion. It's giant eyes glowed a sea foam green color, and I could tell it was looking at me.

"W̵e̶ ̸m̸e̵e̸t̵ ̸a̵g̶a̶i̶n̷,̴ ̵c̸h̸i̶l̴d̸."

"You're the voice that called out to me when we fought against Loki, right?" I remembered the voice, and the entity hummed in confirmation. "Why are you here?"

"Y̶o̸u̵r̷ ̸d̴e̶s̵i̴r̵e̴ ̵t̸o̸ ̸s̸a̶v̷e̴ ̵o̷u̵t̷w̶e̵i̶g̸h̶s̶ ̸y̶o̵u̵r̷ ̸d̸e̵s̷i̵r̶e̶ ̵t̶o̴ ̶k̸i̵l̸l̵.̸ ̷Y̶o̵u̷ ̶w̶a̶n̷t̸ ̸t̶o̸ ̷s̵a̸v̸e̶ ̴t̵h̷o̸s̶e̸ ̷c̵h̵i̵l̵d̵r̷e̵n̶,̸ ̷d̶o̴n̴'̶t̵ ̷y̸o̴u̸?"

"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?"

"B̴e̸c̸a̷u̶s̴e̸ ̴y̵o̷u̷r̷ ̴p̶a̴s̷t̵ ̸l̶i̶f̷e̶ ̶h̷a̴s̴ ̸c̶o̶m̸m̵i̶t̶t̸e̵d̶ ̷t̵h̵e̴ ̷s̸i̵n̶ ̶o̶f̷ ̵k̷i̵l̶l̵i̷n̸g̵ ̴t̶h̸o̶u̵s̵a̶n̵d̵s̷ ̸o̷f̵ ̷i̸n̴n̸o̵c̷e̴n̴t̸ ̸g̷o̷d̴s̵ ̷w̴h̸o̷ ̵w̴a̶s̸ ̸n̴o̶t̸ ̸a̶l̵i̸g̷n̵e̷d̸ ̷w̸i̸t̵h̷ ̵Y̸u̶h̶a̷,̷ ̵j̸u̵s̶t̴ ̸t̷o̶ ̷f̸o̵r̷g̸e̴ ̴u̸s̷ ̷i̷n̸t̸o̸ ̷w̴e̸a̴p̴o̵n̵s̵ ̶t̸o̶ ̶m̸u̶r̵d̶e̶r̵."

"What my past self committed was a sin, and I will never work to justify it, all I want to do is protect those around me and work to never recreate his sin ever again."

"A̵n̴d̷ ̷w̸h̶a̵t̴ ̶o̷f̵ ̷i̴t̷,̵ ̷t̶h̴e̴ ̷s̵i̵n̵ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶b̸e̵e̵n̶ ̶c̴o̸m̶m̴i̶t̵t̸e̷d̵?"

"I am sorry for what has been done to you Genbu, but please, help me save everyone." I lowered my head towards the spectral turtle, and the turtle left out a hefty sigh.

"V̸e̶r̵y̴ ̷w̷e̴l̷l̷ ̴t̶h̴e̶n̶,̴ ̶I̴ ̵s̸h̸a̷l̸l̸ ̷l̶e̵n̵d̴ ̷y̵o̴u̴ ̶a̴ ̷n̸e̷w̸ ̵p̸o̷w̵e̸r̵,̸ ̶t̸h̴e̷ ̷p̴o̶w̶e̴r̴ ̶t̵o̴ ̷b̵e̸c̷o̶m̶e̴ ̷a̷ ̷s̷a̸v̵i̶o̵r̶ ̴f̵o̸r̷ ̸t̶h̵e̶ ̴w̶o̸r̶l̵d̸,̸ ̷b̴u̸t̷ ̷t̷h̷i̶s̵ ̴p̴o̵w̷e̶r̴ ̵o̴n̵l̵y̷ ̷w̴o̵r̶k̷s̷ ̷i̶f̸ ̶y̴o̵u̸ ̸b̷e̶c̵o̵m̴e̶ ̶o̶n̵e̶ ̶w̸i̵t̵h̶ ̴y̷o̴u̶r̸ ̵w̴e̸a̷p̶o̴n̴.̷ ̶I̸n̸ ̵s̷h̵o̵r̴t̴,̷ ̴w̸e̴ ̶m̷u̸s̴t̸ ̵s̵h̸a̵r̷e̴ ̶a̸ ̶p̸h̵y̷s̴i̷c̸a̷l̷ ̶b̶o̴d̷y̷."

"Very well then, if it'll protect everyone, then I'll do it."

"G̸o̴o̸d̸...̵n̶o̴w̶ ̷c̴a̷l̵l̶ ̵o̵u̷t̶ ̴m̴y̷ ̵n̵a̸m̷e̸!"

"Come and See, Genbu Requiem!"

Then time resumed and I blew up.

Literally.
