"So, what are the results of the interrogation?"
I asked as I was visited by Hilda, who was in charge of interrogating captured Intermediate Stage God by Vali several days earlier.
"As predicted, some kind of three-way alliance has been created between Susanoo, Melvazoa, and Kokabiel; hard to stay what exactly it is, but it is clear that they are working together. Especially Melvazoa and Kokabiel, as Melvazoa elevated Kokabiel to an Archangel-Class and invested a lot of resources into his Legion of Fallen Angels so he could cause problems for us."
An outcome that I have long ago predicted.
"Continue."
I said.
"Certainly. From what we have found out, Susanoo allowed Kokabiel to create a foothold in Japan in hopes that he would target Rias and Sona. Kokabiel wants to kill them, while Susanoo wants to capture them as a form of insurance against our Empire. Meanwhile, Kokabiel was able to convince Suanoo with the backing of Melvazoa, as it seems that other Pantheons are very well aware of the two factions of Evie and Etoulde. The task of this Intermediate God was to capture Sona and Rias moment they were about to be killed by Fallen Angels; then, they would negotiate their return to the Empire in exchange for resources they planned to use to resurrect another; of their Primordial Gods."
Summarized Hilda everything she has learned.
"While Kokabiel just wants to avenge himself for the humiliation he suffered in the war in your hands, father."
She finished after a short pause.
"This is troublesome; with Kokabiel getting support from Melvazoa is the problem itself; while impossible to solve, it could hinder our progress if mismanaged."
I muttered to myself.
"Immediately contact Grigori and report this situation, and push for the meeting between Grigori and Heaven as soon as possible. Send a message to Celestial Court that we can start, announce a state of emergency, active Judas Protocol."
I said briefly as Hilda bowed and left to carry out my orders.
Judas Protocol was a plan to cut all loose ends; when activated, Empire would send its best trackers and strongest powerhouses to deal with Rizevim, his pawns, and other organizations that threatened the final act.
Empire had many hidden enemies in the Draconic Deus waiting for their time to strike, and that time was coming very soon.
"My Emperor."
Said a voice out of the shadows.
"Lead a group of your best men and assassinate all Susanoo's subordinates in mortal Japan, leave none alive, blame Celestial Court. Okhwang is okey with such development."
I ordered.
Okhwang didn't really care about Shinto Pantheon, even if the primordial gods were counted in; for him, they were just minor nuisances, so he won't care if I blamed Celestial Court for this series of assassinations.
In the end, soon, it would cease to exist.
"It shall be done, My Emperor."
Replied Grandmaster of the Execution Temple Cain Valefor.

"Absolutely not; you will right now cease all contact with that nun! Where do you think you have seen that? A nun fraternizing with Devi? Especially one that is the servant of a member of the Imperial House!"
Shouted Rias at Issei as she once again heard that he was hanging out with the nun. This time, it nearly got him killed as one rogue exorcist prepared a trap for him in an attempt to kill him. He was pretty lucky that Rias ordered one of her subordinates to monitor him, who saved his life and teleported them away.
"But buchou she is..."
He attempted to say something only to step in mid of his sentence as Rias's angry glare silenced him.
"No buts! You will immediately stop contact with that nun, am I clear?"
She asked threateningly.
"Yes."
Issei answered dully as he left the room, leaving there Rias alone.
Soon after he left, Akeno entered the room.
"You sure? He will go there and search for her. If he dies, it will destroy all plans."
Stated Akeno.
"He will not, as we will attack their fortress too. Vali already knows their exact strength and will take several of his lieutenants from the Khaos Brigade to attack the fortress. Issei's attack will be nothing more than just a distraction."
Answered Rias, as already was finished, preparations were complete, and they would attack the fortress of the Fallen Angels.
It was planned to happen today, but since they could create a better situation, then why not? They would use a pawn to create a chaos absolute and attack Fallen and their servants in distraction.
