Three Factions

The **Three Factions** (三大勢力, *San Daiseiryoku*) are the three groups of Fallen Angels, Devils, and Angels mentioned in the Bible, who are the main focus of *The Gifted Half-Blooded Devil Uchiha*.

## **Summary**

### **Pre Great War**

The Three Factions started thousands of years before the start of the story after the Biblical God cast out Angels that opposed his teachings, creating the Fallen Angels who inhabited in the Underworld alongside the Devils. Unlike other supernatural groups (Norse Gods, Hindu Gods, Greco-Roman Gods, etc.) which were apparently more or less independent of each other, these three factions were all interconnected. Together, the Three Factions spawned the Judeo-Christian religion, and became part of the Bible.

### **Great War**

The Three Factions of Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels eventually warred against one another under the leaderships of the **Biblical God**, the **Four Great Satans**, and the Fallen Angel organization; **Grigori**, led by **Azazel**, in a conflict which came to be known as the **Great War** which continued for an unknown period of time till it ended hundreds of years prior to the creation of the Kuoh Treaty after the deaths of the Biblical God and Four Great Satans.

### **Post Great War**

Following the deaths of the Biblical God and the Four Great Satans as well as a massive loss in their main forces, the Great War finally ended, but it left the Three Factions in a state of conflict. However, due to a state of extreme exhaustion after the Great War and with all three factions losing their main forces, neither of the three sides wanted to continue battling. So while there was no peace between the factions, outright battles did not occur either.

The factions continued in this state with occasional conflicts between members who crossed paths for centuries.

### **Peace Treaty**

After the Excalibur event caused by Kokabiel, which nearly destroyed the existing status quo of the Three Factions, the top brass of each faction decides to hold a conference to solve the existing issues among the Three Factions. They eventually reached an agreement by following Azazel's proposal of forming a peace treaty between the Three Factions. The peace treaty known as the **Kuoh Treaty** (駒王協定, *Kuō Kyōtei*), was finally drawn up and ended the disputes between the Three Great Powers as they started to work together to rebuild their religion.

### **Khaos Brigade terrorism**

However, the Three Factions would encounter the first major threat to their new status quo in the form of the **Khaos Brigade**, which consisted of multiple races: Devils, Fallen Angels, Humans (who are descendants of legendary/mythological heroes), and a few Angels and others who were dissatisfied with the alliance of the Three Factions and sought to plunge the world into chaos.

The Three Factions would learn about the Khaos Brigade's existence during their conference as Azazel revealed their existence to Michael and Sirzechs, with the Khaos Brigade attacking their conference in hopes of assassinating the leaders of the Three Factions, though their attack was foiled.

The first Khaos Brigade faction that sought to destroy the status quo and the Three Factions was the **Old Satan Faction**, a collection of Devils who were descendent from the original Four Great Satans. They were defeated after they launched an **attack** at the **Youth Devil Rating Game Tournament**, with the rest of their leaders being killed, which forced them underground.

Seeking to expand their alliances, the Three Factions attempted to form an alliance with **Odin** of the Norse Gods and the Shinto Gods, but their meeting was interrupted by **Loki**, who objected to the alliance and attempted to kill Odin. Loki was defeated by the young devils of Kuoh Academy as the Norse Gods and the Shinto Gods became allies of the Three Factions.

With Ophis becoming interested in Issei Hyoudou's growth as the Red Dragon Emperor, Azazel had her meet with the Occult Research Club in hopes of getting her to leave the Khaos Brigade which would force the Khaos Brigade to collapse. The Hero Faction betrayed Ophis and stole a portion of her power by using **Samael**, which they used to create Lilith. **Shalba Beelzebub** reappeared and used **Leonardo**'s **Annihilation Maker** to create giant Anti-Monsters in an attempt to destroy the Underworld for rejecting him, instigating the **Demonic Beast Riot**. The allies of the Three Factions rallied to fight of the Anti-Monsters as the young devils were able to defeat the main members of Hero Faction, causing the collapse of the Hero Faction and Old Satan Faction. Due to violating the Kuoh Treaty by having Ophis meet with the Occult Research Club in secret, Azazel resigned as his position of Governor of the Grigori, with the Cadre **Shemhazai** becoming his successor.

After the initial downfall of the Khaos Brigade, the members of the Three Factions noticed that the scattered factions of the Khaos Brigade were gradually being united under a single banner, with **Nilrem** attempting to infiltrate **Kuoh Town** town to kidnap Ravel Phenex in order to perfect their fake Phoenix Tears by analyzing her demonic power.

Later, while attempting to negotiate with the Vampires of the Carmilla Faction, the Three Factions found themselves mixed up in the **Vampire Civil War**, due to the Occult Research Club's desire to save **Gasper Vladi**'s childhood friend; **Valerie Tepes**. During the war, they learn that the son of Lucifer; Rizevim Livan Lucifer is alive and the one behind the efforts to rebuild the Khaos Brigade, as he formed his own faction; **Qlippoth**, to invade the ***other world*** by defeating Great Red, who guards the **Dimensional Gap** using the **666**. After the war was halted, the Vampires become allies of the Three Factions sent aid to help the vampires rebuilt their country.

In order to respond to Qlippoth, the Three Factions created a special anti-terrorist team: **DxD**, to fight against Qlippoth, with them being granted special clearance to move among the faction to fight against Qlippoth.

Qlippoth would continue to perform terroristic acts against the Three Factions, such as attacking Auros and stealing **Agreas**, invading Heaven and inciting a rebellion of dissatisfied **Exorcists**.

Team DxD managed to track down the stolen Agreas and defeat Rizevim, though they were unable to prevent Trihexa's awakening. Now lead by the two legendary Evil Dragons; **Apophis** and Aži Dahāka, the newly released 666 would begin rampaging in the territories of the Three Factions, causing great devastation. The Three Factions and all of their allies were able to defeat the Evil Dragons and defeat Trihexa by sealing it, though it also forced the higher-ups of each faction and the gods of each factions to seal themselves with Trihexa to steadily cut down its combat power.

### **Post Evil Dragon War**

The Three Factions organized the **Azazel Cup**, a international Rating Game tournament that anyone could compete in as way of easing tensions between each of the mythological factions and to cultivate powerful fighters in the future.
