Neither Crom nor HD-class people are on par with Mahabali. Once again, Mahabali is at a level that can spam Infinity Blaster-level attacks, keeping up with Indra who can do the same. Rias' team doesn't have a chance unless there's a special ruleset, and while Issei might be able to compare to Mahabali by working together with Ddraig, the rest of his team would get trounced by Mahabali's God-class members and then both him and Ddraig would get outnumbered.
