That being said, while the Sacred Gear users of Team DxD will have to push themselves to that level of power, there is still a couple of questions worth asking in regards to this topic.

1) Even if the Sacred Gear users push themselves to a level that will allow them to fight Gods at a level ranging from rivals to equals, will they be able to maintain that level of power after the confrontation against Rivzeim and his forces or essentially burn similiar to Ichigo following his final battle with Aizen in the series ""Bleach"?

2) Should the - possible - outcome between the Sacred Gear users of Team DxD and Rivzeim play out in a manner like the one previously mentioned/asked, will there be a loophole of sorts that would allow the Sacred Gear users to recover their strength and energy enough to avoid the dissipation of their powers?

A reference for my 2nd question comes again from "Bleach". Specifcally, the arc in which Ichigo begins to recover/stabilize his power by becoming a Fullbringer.
