After Goibniu, several other Gods and Goddesses followed in his footsteps and most of them were from Orario and the Dizara region, where the relationship between Deity and children are much closer due to them taking on the Dungeon.
Soon enough, there were around 50 Deities that were defending themselves against enemy Deities numbering more than a thousand.
"So, what's the plan?" Njord asked the others while deploying a rippling barrier made out of water.
Contrary to his serious expression, however, Loki only chuckled, "I'm surprised that you lot actually ca to this side. Are you guys crazy?"
"Despite your situation, none of you seed to be panicking, so I took my chances." Ares answered her question, "...And I really can't get along with those obnoxious bastards after they destroyed my beloved country."
Loki and the other original Deities started distributing candies who ca to their side, "There's no other plan aside from eating this and surviving."
Ares blankly received the candy and looked at it before asking, "Can I go back to their side?"
.

Watching all of this Chaos only amused, "How fun~. I guess this is more interesting. Odin, do you know what that is?"
Odin looked closely at the Deities eating the candy before shaking his head, "N-no. I never heard anything about those."
Kisuke ignored their comnts and clasped both of his hands after seeing them finish swallowing the candies. His joined hands lit up and a strange power started emanating from them and spread around like a gentle wave.
Odin tried to block this strange power but it only went through him and did nothing. As he wondered what it could be, he suddenly felt a large lump in the back of his throat and couldn't help but throw up, "Guahhaaa!"
'Blood!?' He thought while also feeling the strength leave his body.
"W-what's going on!?" Odin shouted in a panic while feeling his strength leave his body and only around half of it remaining. Imdiately after, he also heard similar cries of panic, prompting him to turn around and saw every Deity making a fearful expression.
"Poison." Kisuke briefly answered his question.
"Poison!?" Odin exclaid and imdiately thought back to his ti inside Hestia's barrier. But then, he rembered sothing crucial, that everyone else was also affected so it shouldn't have been just his ti inside their camp, 'Since when!?'
Kisuke was able to guess what he was thinking and said with a smirk, "Before we even faced Tiamat, everything was arranged."
"I see... It was that liquid you and your comrades sprayed all over the world." The smile on Chaos' face still hadn't disappeared while looking at the panicking Deities and Loki's group beginning their counter attack.
"It's not actually made for Deities, but it's doing a fine job," Kisuke replied while taking back his transford state.
When Chaos saw this, he only chuckled, "Are you that confident? Never thought you were an idiot. Although you reduced their strength by half, there are still more than a thousand of them, and many more are coming this way. And if that's still not enough, let remind you that these are not my soldiers. They're weaker, but I still have billions of them."
It wasn't just Kisuke who heard them, but all of the Deities all around the world strangely heard those words too.
"Are you kidding!?" Kali shouted at top of her lungs while shredding a few of the weakened enemies, "We can't do this!"
Even the calst among them about the situation due to their trust in Kisuke, Freya and Loki couldn't help but contort their faces, "Couldn't he just poison these people to death? What's the point of just weakening them?" asked the forr.
Loki had the sa opinion and thought, 'Isn't it a lot harder to weaken them than just killing them with poison? From what I can see, they're really just weakened and not a single bit injured... What is he after?'

The day before the big day, Loki went inside Kisuke's tent after being called and the first thing she said while stretching her arms was, "It's really amazing how you were able to help us bring down our Divine Cores. How did you exactly do it."
"Tiamat's authority over the Heaven's System is a lot more pronounced than you all are thinking. I just borrowed a bit of her blood and aura to make so intrusion into the system and bring your cores down here.", Kisuke explained, "But enough of that. I found the traitor... Or at least I found sothing suspicious."
Loki's casual deanor disappeared and she sat down in front of Kisuke, "And who is it?"
"You know I'm not going to tell you that. Besides, I don't have any evidence beyond the circumstantial."
"Then why are you telling this?"
"Because I want you to condition yourself to trust no matter what happens. You also have to prepare yourself to take action without any input from anyone else."
"You want to move by myself depending on the situation? I can trust you, but that's because I didn't have much of a choice from the beginning. And what if I ss up what you're cooking? Tell what you have in the oven and I can properly gauge the situation."
"Not happening."
Loki went silent again for a few monts before saying, "So the trust you're asking is just a one-way avenue?"
Kisuke grinned at her and said, "Not trusting any of you with my back is the most crucial thing though?"
"Tsk," Loki loudly clicked her tongue, "I hate myself for actually agreeing with you. To think that we'd be trusting you with our lives yet you don't do the sa..."
Loki sighed, "...Fine... But after all of this, I hope that can change. I've already invested too much in this just to be treated like a pawn. Level it up to a friend, will ya?"
Kisuke gave her a genuine smile and said, "I'll be showing my friends a new exciting place after all of this."
Loki sighed again, but this ti with a bit of relief and so of her frustration going away, "I'm looking forward to it."
.

Loki looked at his face from a distance and closed her eyes, "Get ready! Once the situation changes, follow my lead and we'll all charge together to break the encirclent!"
Everyone around her beca confused but they could only nod their heads. With no road for retreat, unity was their only hope to survive.
Kisuke gave them a glance from his spot and smiled.
"Hooh? So this isn't your only trump card?" Chaos beca interested in his reaction, "What else? Show sothing more interesting."
"I'll show you, alright. For starters, we'll start with pest control."
As soon as Kisuke finished his words, from the corner of his eyes, Chaos saw Odin's head, filled with confusion, had fallen off his body. And when he turned to his side, he saw Yoruichi, fine and well, holding a dagger stained with blood, "That went easier than I thought it would."
Chaos imdiately swung out his arm but Yoruichi had already disappeared and reappeared beside Kisuke.
With a neutral expression, Chaos muttered, "I see... You baited him. Well, I wasn't really expecting much, and killing those two was just a bonus," his smirk returned to him, "But that still doesn't change the fact that you're all going to perish here~! The only difference you made is that you're going to survive for a few more hours, I guess?"
But all of sudden, his smirk froze as he saw sothing unbelievable.
A black hole that could fit a few people suddenly appeared on top of everyone before a streak of red and white lights ejected from it.
In an instant, these red and white streaks went through and decimated a hundred or so Deities while leaving the trailing words [Boost] and [Divide].
Satisfied with the expression Chaos was now making, Kisuke added in, "I regret to inform you, but you're not the only one with a lot of friends."
