## Summary

Qlippoth attacks Heaven, in a attempt to cause chaos and retrieve the legendary the Fruit of Wisdom and the Fruit of Life. Heaven, with the assistance of the Occult Research Club, rushes to repel the oncoming invasion.

## Prelude

The members of the Occult Research Club were invited to Heaven by Michael to discuss the Christmas project, the containment of jewel which was storing Grendel's captured soul and the recent attacks on Exorcists. After the visit, the members of the Occult Research Club were attacked by Masaomi Yaegaki, a former exorcist, who was trying to avenge his own death and the death of his Devil lover, Cleria Belial. After learning the truth about the matter from Zekram Bael, the Occult Research Club returns to Heaven as it starts shaking and they receive a report that Heaven is under attack.

## History

The Occult Research Club moved from their location in First Heaven in order to reach the Fifth Heaven; where Touji Shidou, Irina's father was receiving treatment for the poison he was injected with. At the gate of Third Heaven, the group encountered Ladon, who used his barriers to block their attacks and prevent them from moving. Cao Cao appeared and destroyed the barrier as Rias told Issei, Irina, Xenovia and Asia to go ahead and save Irina's father while the rest of the group deal with Ladon. While Cao Cao and Ladon were fighting, Ladon summoned 3 Grendel clones to assist him, as the clones engaged the remaining members of the Rias Gremory Peerage. However, due to the clones being inferior to the original, they were swiftly defeated. As Cao Cao fought against Ladon, he used his Balance Breaker orb to make Ladon float, as the group attacked him with a variety of attacked which he blocked with his barrier. Cao Cao made a large hole in the ground and teleported Ladon there, which prevented Ladon from moving as Rias eliminated him with her Extinguished Star and Koneko sealed the Evil Dragon's soul in a Heavenly Dragon jewel she got from Issei.

Meanwhile, Issei, Irina, Xenovia and Asia arrived at the Third Heaven as Walburga and Crom Cruach revealed themselves. Dulio Gesualdo joined to assist Issei, Irina, Xenovia and Asia as the five of them fought against the duo. Issei fought against Crom Cruach but their fight was interrupted by Walburga interference as Crom Cruach. grew frustrated with her and left the fight to her until she was killed so he could fight by himself. Walburga teleported away due to being outmatched as Dulio offered to fight Crom by himself as to allow the rest of the group to go ahead. Approaching the Fifth Heaven; the group discovered Touji Shidou about to be killed by Masaomi Yaegaki, as they managed to save him. They fought Masaomi, with Irina using her Holy Sword's ability to purify the Evil Dragon's soul within Masaomi's soul. As Issei and Masaomi were able to come to a understanding, Masaomi was killed by Rizevim who appeared. The group attempted to fight him but was overwhelmed, as Asia summoned Fafnir to defend her. Rizevim slapped Asia, enraging Fafnir and triggering his Outrage Mode, as he overwhelmed Rizevim and Lilith who tried to protect Rizevim. Issei then attacked Rizevim and used his new *Penetrate* ability to overwhelm him, as Rizevim's Sacred Gear Canceller was unable to nullify Issei's attacks.The remaining members of the Rias Gremory Peerage arrived along with Michael, as the Seraph attacked Rizevim with a large light spear but Rizevim was able to deflect the attack. Rizevim revealed that he had already obtained the Fruit of Wisdom and the Fruit of Life, and withdrew from the battle, ending the invasion.

## Conclusion

After the fight, Archangel Michael allowed Cao Cao to leave along with the True Longinus, stating that as long as Cao Cao wasn't a enemy, he wouldn't be hostile to him. Cao Cao reveals that he wants to find out why he was bestowed with the True Longinus as he promised to fight Issei again, but without anything other then the True Longinus.

Crom Cruach later approached Issei and asked him if he was a Devil or a Dragon, asking to fight him, with Issei telling him he will fight him at a later date as Crom Cruach left Qlippoth as he opted to explore the Human World.
