DxD: I Steal Luck-Chapter 178: The Tri-Faction Conference

"Alright, since everyone is here and aware of the critical secret that 'God is no longer present,' let us officially begin the conference."

Ignoring Azazel's antics, Sirzechs led the discussion.

The talks progressed smoothly. Sirzechs, Serafall, and Michael engaged in diplomatic exchanges, probing each other's intentions. Meanwhile, Azazel remained utterly uninterested, only occasionally interjecting. His laid-back demeanor left everyone frustrated, even earning a helpless glance from Vali.

"...Next, let's have Rias and Sona talk about the events from a few days ago~."

At that moment, Azazel suddenly looked at his sister Rias and spoke in a soft voice.

"Yes, Lord Lucifer."

Hearing this, Rias and Sona, who had been standing in the back, stepped forward. Clearly, it was time to discuss the Kokabiel incident.

After scanning the room, Rias calmly began to explain in detail what she knew about the Kokabiel incident.

"That concludes the report from Rias Gremory and her partner regarding the incident."

"I... Sona Sitri also attest that this report is completely accurate," Sona added, adjusting his glasses calmly.

Once the report and confirmation were complete, the leaders of the three factions had different expressions on their faces.

"Good work. You may leave now."

"Thanks, Rias-chan, Sona-chan~"

Azazel nodded, and nearby, Serafall blinked her cute eyes. Even in such a formal meeting, this Devil girl showed no sign of restraint...

"Alright, Azazel. After hearing this report, I would like to hear the thoughts of the Fallen Angel Governor."

With Azazel's words, everyone's gaze turned to Azazel, who had been maintaining his calm expression the entire time.

In response, Azazel smiled fearlessly and spoke.

"A few days ago, Kokabiel, a member of our Fallen Angels' faction, acted unilaterally, keeping his actions hidden from other leaders and from me, as the Governor. He was already been handed to me by the 'White Dragon Emperor. After capturing him, the organization judged Kokabiel and sentenced him to be sealed in the lowest level of Hell, where he has been subjected to a permanent freezing punishment."

After Azazel finished speaking, both Blake and Rias, along with others, furrowed their brows and showed displeasure.

However, since this person had privately apologized, Blake and Rias didn't bother to expose him. After all, peace was the most important thing. That way, they could enjoy doing other things...

"I see. The problem is Kokabiel's motives. He should be quite displeased with you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Michael sighed helplessly.

"Yes, because I have little interest in war. Kokabiel also disparaged me for this, and those points were mentioned in the report earlier."

Even with his casual tone, the Fallen Angel Governor always had a way of making people want to punch him.

"Azazel, what I want to ask is, why have you been constantly gathering Sacred Gear Users over the past few decades? Initially, I thought you were trying to strengthen your forces to wage war on Heaven and us, but..."

Following Michael, Azazel's eyes narrowed as he looked at Azazel sharply.

"Despite all this time passing, you've never launched a war. Even when we heard that you had obtained the 'White Dragon Emperor,' we increased our vigilance."

"Tch. We originally thought you guys were more formidable than the gods or even the former Lucifer, but you're just as troublesome. Secretive research isn't my style. Ah, I get it. — In that case, let's settle on peace. Whether it's the Angels or the Devils, I suppose that was always the plan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Azazel made an astonishing declaration, which stunned everyone in the room for a moment.

Shocked by Azazel's words, Michael smiled and gently spoke.

"Indeed, I had plans to establish peace with the Devil faction and Grigori. If the three factions continue to oppose each other, it will bring harm to the world we live in. Though it may seem somewhat inappropriate for me, as the leader of the Angels, to say this... Since both the God and the Previous Four Great Satans have been eliminated, it is all the more reason we should aim for peace."

After hearing Michael's words, Azazel immediately laughed.

"Ha! The usually rigid Michael-sama actually says something like that? Always so obsessed with 'God' this and 'God' that."

"After all, too much has been lost already. I don't want to lose anything more."

"We feel the same. We also need to consider the survival of our species."

Both Michael and Azazel said in unison, and their meaning was clear.

"That's right. If war breaks out again, the three factions will truly be wiped out. And it will have a massive impact on the human world, potentially leading to the world's end. We cannot afford another war."

Hearing this, Azazel, who had been joking moments ago, immediately turned serious.

After this, the meeting continued, focusing on future matters regarding military strength, relations between the factions, and the new power structure moving forward.

...

In the ancient war, the three factions were severely weakened. Heaven lost its God, Hell lost its Great Satans, and the Fallen Angels nearly lost all their combat strength. In this context, the three factions needed to focus not only on reproduction and survival, but also on protecting themselves from other mythological systems. So, if they could coexist peacefully or even collaborate, despite their losses, the remaining strength of the three factions could still hold back any invasion from other mythologies.

Finally, when Blake questioned why Asia was exiled, Michael sincerely apologized for the decision and cleared up any misunderstandings within the Church's trio. He also expressed regret over the reincarnation of Xenovia and Irina into Devil, as they were rare individuals with pure hearts.

In response, everyone exchanged smiles. The fact that someone of Michael's stature would apologize for ordinary reincarnated Devils spoke volumes about how sincere Michael's attitude was.

"...That's about it, right?"

Azazel scanned the room and noticed that the leaders seemed to exhale a collective sigh of relief. It was clear that hosting this kind of meeting was far more exhausting than engaging in a battle.

"Alright, the discussion has gone quite well. It's time to hear from the Red Dragon Emperor, Your Highness."

Azazel stroked his chin and spoke meaningfully.

The gazes of the others didn't cause any change in Blake's expression. Honestly, among all present, his words carried as much weight as those of the Great devils, the Archangels, or the Governor. Even the current White Dragon Emperor, Vali, had to take a backseat.
