(Your POV)
Two weeks later, for some reason, Odin wanted to go on a tour around Kuoh, so we kind of had no choice but to go along with it. Odin was riding in a large carriage that was being pulled by a simple horse, since Odin's eight legged horse would have drawn too much attention. The carriage was large, fitting Baraqiel, Azazel, Odin, and Issei. I assumed Issei got to ride in the carriage thanks to him being the red dragon emperor. Not that I mind though, I was currently at a vantage point that overlooked the entire town with your average M24 in my hands. The vantage point in particular was the top of a tall apartment building in Kuoh, giving me a full view of the town, except for a couple select locations. Sang, Anubis, and Rossweisse were all with me, with Sang holding a hunting rifle, Anubis with a cane that had a golden skull on it, and Rossweisse wore a business suit instead of her usual armor. All four of us decided to get to know each other so we could perform better. As for the other potential members of my peerage, namely Ayako, Onihime, Unohanna, Nico, Tojuro, Kankuro, Yozakura, and Sarah, they're all around the area. Onihime was riding a motorcycle around to check the places we can't see that well. Unohanna, Ayako, Nico, Kankuro, and Tojuro were following the chariot in my truck. Yozakura and Sarah were gods know where, maybe atop a nearby rooftop.

"Bored!" Sang laid on a generator wearing a camouflage vest open to reveal his muscular chest, his headband, camo pants, and sandals. "Why do we need to guard this guy anyways?"

"Thanks to the fact he's a god in foreign territory, if he dies, it's our heads that may roll." Anubis sat calmly on the edge of the building, overlooking the area below him. "My main problem is if my employees are capable of handling something as simple as weighing one's heart with a genuine ostrich feather."

"Since we're all together, how about we discuss each other's abilities so we can form a valid strategy against anyone who would suddenly attack us." I suggested. "For example; I specialize in endurance, versatility, and craftsmanship. My main weakness is that despite my versatility, I have to rely on tools like explosives or my items for firepower, and once I run out of tools or tricks, I'm vulnerable. Plus if someone can destroy my cover, I have to face them head on."

"I'm a little more on the simple side, I don't use magic, but I have some crazy strength and a good aim." Sang rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean, I can use magic, but it's not as good as you devils or anything fancy like that, and I honestly don't like using it."

"Understandable, I'll rely more on your sniping capabilities since super strength alone is not very helpful due to the fact that everyone apparently has it." I then focused on Anubis. "What about you, Anubis?"

"Aside from the obvious, necromancy, I can judge someone's soul just by looking at them." Anubis summoned a purple flame in his palms. "I can summon my scales to judge the heart of a certain individual, and if the scales decide, they will be mummified on the spot. However, I need the heart in order for it to make it work. What's more, I will be vulnerable to outsiders, as I can only use this technique on one person at a time."

"That's a one shot technique...maybe we can utilize it." I thought to myself. "However, focus on necromancy from the backlines. We can only afford to use that technique once per battle. Our opponent is most likely to be smart, and those of us on the front lines should focus on getting the heart and take it to you, but we'd need someone who specializes in stealing for that. Luckily, that person should be on his way. Last but not least, Rossweisse, what about you?"

"I'm not strong like Anubis, but I can use magic, and I specialize in long range magic that focuses on raw power along with defense magic." Rossweisse showed me a magic circle. "It's a unique kind of norse magic I made myself. I mainly excel at ice, fire, water, lightning, wind, thunder, light, and explosive-based magic."

"Wouldn't thunder and lightning be classified as the same element?" Sang asked, and I didn't know either, so I shrugged. "Oh hey, what's that?" Sang pointed at a shadow that was coming towards us, so I assumed it was a bird, but it looked incredibly far away.

"A distraction, evidently." Anubis tapped his cane on the ground, getting our attention. Anubis gestured towards the carriage, which was now in a forest of red leaved trees, but I still had a clear view of it thanks to my M24's scope.

In front of the carriage, I saw that the horse was injured, and the knights of Rias' peerage both had their swords out, pointed at the assailant. Baraqiel stood in front of them, with lighting covering his hand. The person who stood in front of them was an odd fellow, and I put on my mask to scan him. The scan revealed he was the norse deity known as Loki. "Why is he h-here? Rossweisse asked while we watched Azazel try to peacefully talk to the god. "Should we do something?" Rossweisse made her business suit glow and it was suddenly replaced with armor.

"For now, we await the signal." I pointed out while making Anubis, Rossweisse, and Sang look away so I can summon my Seal Canon. "Azazel knew something would happen, and as a signal, he'll summon a light blade in his right hand to signal us to attack. Left hand if we have nothing to fear. Should things go south, I'll shoot my cannon and gun before teleporting down there. Sang, you keep sniping but stay evasive. Anubis and Rossweisse will stay here to support us from a distance."

Azazel suddenly summoned a light blade in his right hand, signaling that we must attack. I shot both my canon and M24 at Loki, who responded by making a magic circle to block both the canon fire and bullets. Sang leaped into the air so high I thought he was flying, and tried shooting behind the barrier, but the bullets were easily repelled. While Loki was distracted and looking away, I made the chariot disappear, along with everyone else. You see, our team was divided into two forces, Rias' and mine. Rias' force consisted of her, her peerage, Issei, Asia, Azazel, and Baraqiel, while mine consisted of people who wanted to join my peerage. Our top priority was protecting Odin, so I teleported them back to my place, and everyone else will come back to help me should I request it. Despite that, I had faith in my choice of pieces. While Loki was looking at where the carriage and people once were, I dropped my gun and teleported behind him holding Genbu in it's gauntlet form. "So you're the one who did that, impressive, not many people pull off a teleportation stunt like that. Impressive." Red leaves fell around us in the forest.

(A/N: I know all of you are going to hate me for this, but he looks like a sperm cell.)

"It only happens when no one's looking at or can see what I'm teleporting, and magic with drawbacks don't cost as much to use." I held out one arm and overlapped one hand behind it, making my arms into a kind of cross shape.

"Are you going to summon Gae Bulg?" Loki asked, and I doubt he could read my expression thanks to my mask. "I doubt it will help you all that much, considering how well known it is."

"I know, that's why I made myself something new." I quickly pulled my right hand back, allowing me to draw an odd tonfa/hammer hybrid. The grip was made of bronze, and had a ring to hold the stone shaft part in place. The shaft of the weapon was like an elongated hammer that stretched from the front of my knuckles to my elbow. The face of the weapon also had a seal on it. "Seal Invention #3: Truendo." I tried to punch Loki in the stomach, but he managed to block it with his palm.

"Impressive, you managed to make a weapon like Mjolnir, and it managed to leave a small burn." Loki looked at his hand in amusement, but I managed to distract him long enough. Ayako appeared behind him with a glowing dagger and tried cutting his hamstring muscles, but Loki managed to detect her and kicked her  in the stomach into a nearby tree. Luckily, Ayako was wearing a heavy duty vest that allowed her to withstand such an attack, but it still must have hurt. "Who on earth is she?"

"Not your main focus!" Tojuro was above Loki with a mechanical sword and axe in each hand, Loki of course blocked this, but Tojuro's usual smile never faded. "I hate sneak attacks, so I just had to yell!" Tojuro's weapons then shot out fire like engines, and Loki jumped back to avoid their swing. "My name is Tojuro Rengoku, Ultimate Weapon Master!"

"Now I see what you did (Y/N), you recruited more people like you." Loki smirked as the sound of trees breaking filled the area. "Oh what is it now?"

A giant calico cat made of yarn and patchwork suddenly appeared with mismatched button eyes and knife claws. It was roughly the size of a car, but was rather quick and tenacious. The cat tried slashing at Loki, but the god managed to avoid the claws and was swiftly met with a motorcycle wheel coming towards his face. There is only one person idiotic enough to try and hit someone with the wheel of a motorcycle, and that person was none other than Onihime, and the calico cat must have been Unohanna's work. Onihime jumped off the motorcycle, and pressed a button in her hands, causing the motorcycle to blow up in Loki's face. From the smoke, a familiar clown masked figure emerged wielding a pair of daggers and attempted to gouge Loki's eyes using daggers in both hands, but the god managed to catch the strikes, leaving him vulnerable to a barrage of fireworks targeted to his back.

"You may be a god, Loki, but we're the pinnacle of our skills." Yozakura walked out from behind a tree holding onto her signature razor wire as everyone of us talented students, except for Nico, stood together. "You honestly think you can survive against the perfect Immortal, Vivisectionist, Weapon Master, Knitter, Daredevil, Jester, Pyrotechnic, Spy, and Holiday Spirit?"

"Happy Halloween!"

Behind Loki I saw Nico was behind him, something was off. She was wearing her school uniform like the rest of us, but instead of a Santa hat, she wore a pumpkin mask over her face and had black hair. Before I could ask what was going on, Nico raised her hand into the air, and a flaming ball that looked like a jack-o-lantern appeared. Nico shot this pumpkin at Loki, surprisingly doing some damage. Loki was suddenly shot in the side, which must have been Sang's hunting rifle. "I'm sure you're trying to understand what's going on, so let me help you understand."

Tojuro pulled a cart full of mechanical weapons out from behind him, and pressed a trigger that was on the cart, causing all the weapons to shoot out and plant themselves around Tojuro. "Tojuro is the only person to not awaken magic, but his skill and his arsenal are unparalleled." Yozakura's voice was in my head, like telepathy as I watched Loki try to deliver a flurry of blows towards the boy, but Tojuro not only managed to parry them all using a pair of daggers, but managed to use a pair of heavy machine guns to shoot at Loki's chest. Unfortunately, the bullets did no damage. "Tojuro modeled his weapons to contain a hidden function, the ability to engulf the blade in flames and act like a flamethrower." Tojuro grabbed the hilt of a nearby sword and slashed upwards, and to my amazement, the weapon shot fire from the blade, creating an arc of flames.

"On the other hand, we have Ayako, who awakened a magic that perfectly compliments her talent, or perhaps...two kinds of magic." Yozakura's voice was in my head as Ayako rushed towards Loki, who created a barrier, but Ayako managed to cut through it, cutting a bit of Loki's hand. "Ayako's magic allows her to see through the body of her target, allowing her to see the things she wants to cut. She can also infuse her knife with a high frequency current to allow it to cut through almost anything, but only if it's a knife. Swords are too large at the moment." Ayako then jumped out of the way, allowing Onihime to rush forwards with a pair of brass knuckles. "As for Onihime, her magic boosts her power like Issei's, the only difference is that it gets stronger depending on how much danger she's in. Getting strong the more danger she is in." Onihime ducked underneath a swing from Loki before delivering a solid punch to his lower head. "She's also been studying under the Ultimate Boxer, who owns a boxing ring outside of town."

Unohanna's cat lunged at Loki as he regenerated his body after he got cut and burnt, Loki blocked the strike, but Kankuro managed to get behind him and cut Loki's hamstring muscles. "Kankuro uses clone magic, but it doesn't just work on him, he can clone his knives." Kankuro was decapitated by a karate chop to the neck from Loki, but many knives came from the tree line, and the source was Kankuro himself. "Unohanna on the other hand can make beings out of yarn, and they take on whatever properties she desires, but only one property per creation." Unohanna's cat raised its paw above it's head, and it slashed at Loki, and Loki blocked it. "As for Nico...she's evolved. Like how you went from Ultimate Shield to Ultimate Immortal, she went from the Ultimate Secret Santa to Ultimate Holiday Spirit. She wields Holiday magic, allowing her to take on the more magical properties of any holiday she wants. Weirdest thing is that I had to give a bit of my blood to everyone else to help them with their magic, since my blood is magic, but Nico didn't need it. She was just suppressing that power. I tried looking into her blood, but there are no birth records for someone with her name in the past hundred years, and Nico is a human."

Nico was the only person who was actually keeping Loki on his toes, so I decided to help her out. Nico summoned a skeletal scythe and tried slashing at Loki, who dodged before delivering a solid punch to her face, but I stood in front of her and took the full force of the punch. The reason I didn't use a barrier was so I could grab onto Loki's arm and hold him in place to make him an easy target for Nico, but the god only smiled in response to this. A magic circle appeared in front of me at point blank range, and I didn't have enough time to create a barrier, so I took the magic dead on, sending Nico and I to a nearby tree. Luckily, I grabbed Nico and switched places with her so I would take the full brunt of the force. "Stay away from them, they're students!" Rossweisse blasted Loki with three orbs of magic, and she did not sound very happy.

"Hmph, a Valkyrie, a god, a folk human, a selkie of danu, and a couple of brats who don't even know how to use their own magic, how pathetic." Loki summoned several of his own magic circles around him.

"Make that four gods and a crow!" A voice from above called, and I looked at the source to see a crow. "Hey (Y/N), you okay?"

"I'm okay, thank you Crow, but how did you get here?" I asked while a massive silhouette soared overhead, and it looked to be a massive serpent with wings and feathers. "Is that...?"

"Yup, it's Quetzalcoatl." Coyote and a familiar cloaked figure jumped off the back of the serpent as the serpent began glowing to take on a more human appearance, only this human had massive feathered wings.

"Sorry about being late, I had to pick these two up." Quetzalcoatl took the form of an Aztec man around Azazel's age with snake-like eyes with maroon colored sclera, long black hair that reached his waist, a black goatee, a jade green dress shirt, dark brown pants, sandals, and light green face paint that went from his eyes to to the tip of his forehead and down to the chin part that were below the eyes. "Quetzalcoatl, god of the wind, air, and knowledge, at your service."

"Loki...did you try to attack...(Y/N)?" Cernnunos walked forwards, and he appeared to be twitching while his eyes turned red. "I'll kill you as not Cernunnos...but as Satan...killkillkillkill..."

"Well Loki, you think you can take on all of us?" Sang landed on a nearby branch with a confident smile as an army of skeletons approached Loki. "Anubis has to move his army carefully in town, but since we're out here, we can go all out."

"I won't doubt my chances, mainly because Cernunnos is almost entirely forgotten, Anubis can only do so much without turning the entire area into a wasteland, and the rest of you aren't even worth my time." Loki smirked, and in response to this, Quetzalcoatl created several blades of wind before sending them towards Loki, and while Loki did block them, Cernnunos had a large fist made of demonic energy coming from his cloak, he used this fist to deliver a solid blow to Loki's cheek, actually managing to hurt the god. "What?"

"You see, Cernnunos isn't just Cernunnos, thanks to Christianity being a dick for no reason, as per usual, Cernnunos is also Satan." Coyote explained while he sniffed me, most likely checking me for injuries. "You see, gods are stronger the more people that know them, and even stronger the more people believe in them."

"Perhaps taking on so many opponents isn't the best idea." Loki summoned a magic circle around his feet. "Keep in mind I can summon Fenrir, but like you said, civilian casualties are not in my interest."

With that said, Loki disappeared in a flash of purple light, and all of us got back together to report to one another what happened. No one had some serious injuries, but some of us did have some bruising and minor injuries. As I was putting a bandaid on Tojuro's forehead, another magic circle suddenly appeared, and from the magic circle, a familiar head of gray hair appeared, along with someone wearing armor, a swordsman with glasses, a dark haired nekomata, and someone wearing a selkie's coat.

"Looks like we're too late, but we've come to offer our assistance."

(A/N: You know, I'm half tempted to just ditch all my other series and just focus on this one. I know, I know, that's a bitchy way of thinking but considering this book's usual chapter vote count usually reached somewhere in the 20's on average while everything else reaches 10 only if I'm lucky, so I'm pretty sure you guys are sending a pretty clear message to me. Plus it's honestly pretty unmotivating to see a chapter that I worked my ass off for isn't doing so well compared to a book that is super easy to update like this one, so now I'm actually starting to sympathize with authors who quit all together. So you know what, I'm just going to focus on this book (and a small group of selective books bcuz I wanna write a Sena Kashiwazaki x Reader) until my self esteem is recovered.
