And how do you suggest Ophis then, she gave the same snake to Diodora. And Shalba and the Old Satan Faction. Remember Loki wasn't affiliated with Khaos Brigade, plus you think Shalba would work together with Loki. Plus how about Rossweisse joining. If the Loki incident took place along with Volume 6, Odin might not leave Rose behind.
