ALL NOVEL Chapter 54: Chapter 54
"So, you're Odin?"
"Yes, I am the All Father." He continued stroking his beard again. "This beard is too big. I might need my wife to trim it down a bit."
Issei blinked a couple of time while the old man continued doing what he was doing. His assistant quickly dusted herself off before appearing by his size. Not only that, but another Fallen Angel was right next to Odin. Issei analyzed the Fallen Angel and noticed that his name was Baraqiel. A Cadre level Fallen Angel, a high-level deity, and a powerful Valkyrie, Issei was having a field day with learning about more powerful beings existing.
Speaking of which, Issei hoped that he would be able to inspect Odin's current level.

Issei was finally able to see the power within the very Gods that stood above him in power. Taking a look at Odin's stats, he was easily going to get blitz by the old man, but his strength was nearly double the old man's. His endurance made him far more of a tank, but the level difference made it where Issei would get tapped a couple of times and be put away by the old man. It made Issei feel much better about himself that he was this powerful, but Issei knew that this wasn't a fully equipped Odin. He barely had any armor on and he was just roaming around the area.
"Are you lost?"
Odin turned to Issei and shook his head, "No, I'm just wondering around seeing all the things that this building has. The last time I was in the Underworld was... Never. I wonder how many hot women are around here."
Blinking a couple of times after hearing the last part, Issei turned to see Rossweisse gripping her weapon in her hand in anger. "ODIN!"
Wincing at the scream, the All Father asked, "What is it Rossweisse?"
"You can't say something like that. You're representing the Norse Pantheon and there is no need to say something like that."
"Oh calm down. You're always too serious about everything. Maybe this is why you don't have a boyfriend." As if that was the Valkyrie's kryptonite, she fell to the ground and began tearing up before full blown bawling her eyes out.
"Maybe you're right! WAAAAAAH!" Continuing to cry, Odin decided that maybe leaving her here would be the best because he quickly began walking away after finding something interesting to note.
Being left alone with the poor woman, Issei sighed and decided something should be better left alone. Turning around, he began walking away. However, when he did turn around, he was met with a certain crimson-haired woman.
"Issei!" Rias hugged Issei while nuzzling her head into his massive chest. "How have you been? It's been ages since we last saw each other."
"Oh, Rias... I don't know why I am surprised to see you here." Patting her head before backing away slightly, Issei watched as Rias smiled brightly at him before turning her head to Rossweisse who was making circles with her fingers on the ground.
"Is she alright?"
"Yeah, she's just having an episode."
Nodding her head in understanding what was said, Rias grabbed Issei's hand and started dragging him towards her peerage. "All the others really want to see you."

Before long, the time was finally here for Odin to sign the peace treaty with the factions. However, Issei wasn't seen around here. Where was he? Turns out, trouble did follow, and Issei was standing right in front of Kuroka and Bikou. What truly happened was that Issei had sensed a disturbance and the fact he obtained another quest that needed him to appear and defeat the infiltrators.
Being irritated that he wouldn't be seeing the main event of the meeting, Issei watched as Koneko and Rias followed behind. It was strange to see them, especially when Koneko was looking at the black-haired cat girl with anger. Before anything could happen, before anyone could even talk, Issei appeared right behind Kuroka and slammed his hammer straight into her body.
He moved fast enough to where Kuroka wouldn't be able to escape his attack. He wanted to end the battle as fast as he could. Bikou was able to process what happened a little too late as when Issei's hammer made contact with Kuroka's body, the entire forest quickly erupted with gusts of powerful winds that tore straight through the environment.
Blasting everyone flying back, not a single word was uttered but the battle had been decided. Standing where Kuroka was, Issei stood victorious as everyone, as meaning everyone even including Rias and Koneko, were sent tumbling into the ground and covered with pounds upon pounds of dirt to engulf them within the lands.
Kuroka was barely alive, her lower body was crushed underneath Issei's hammer as blood was splattered everywhere. Standing above her body, Issei whipped his hammer over his shoulder and looked down upon the near dead corpse. "Goodbye..."
Ready to swing his hammer, Issei was stopped by a single word, "Stop!" Whipping his head to where the sound came from, Issei watched as Koneko, with her head barely peeking out of the ground, screamed at him. "Don't kill her... please. She's my sister. Don't kill her, I beg of you."
"She's an invader."
"Please... don't kill her. I beg of you. Do whatever you want, just don't kill her." Koneko began crying, even Rias began helping Koneko's cause.
"Don't kill her Issei. There is no need to go that far. Just beat her and we can take care of the rest." Beat her, Issei had have her body crushed and turned to mush.
Before Issei could say anything, someone had snatched Kuroka off of the ground and appeared behind Issei. Turning to see who it was, Issei was met with Vali and his entire team behind him. Kuroka was in Vali's arms while Vali glared at Issei. "You fiend! Do you have any remorse? Do you have any humanity?"
Before allowing Issei to speak, the entire team disappeared. Was this a mission successful?
