I don't have much time to explain, but I will answer the last part. I do not understand what they have to do with each other. Apophis was an honorable dragon although he was an evil dragon, but besides being honorable he wanted to fight against Issei's most powerful form. Loki in that fight he missed playing with Issei and the team, they were not a danger, and from a certain point he did not defeat him, but rather sealed. Powers follow the narrative? you make me laugh :)) Only Vasco ..? :)) on how characters have grown up without having an origin of powers or a strong bloodline, just by training it makes me laugh :)). There were many characters that do not have a development, but have a strong bloodline and a huge potential, but do not approach the level of power of certain characters. There are anomalies (extremely powerful "monsters"): Issei, Ajuka, Vali (but they have a strong and potentially huge gene). Rias in the direct fight was not a big problem for Issei, all I wanted to say was that if the fight 100% Rias normal was instant defeat.We make a short demonstration, Rias attacks are slow to avoid, but considering and ability to think, Issei could redistribute the attack towards her, and she had to freeze time, giving him  Issei an opening to break it in. And yet something at Issei's level of power, he can easily destroy part of the field, do you think Rias can face it? No, of course not. The author wanted to be a more strategic fight on the part of Issei, without him using only brute power to suppress his opponent (considering Indra's words). You speak of "resistance" as if it were an impenetrable defense, exactly the same can be said about  penetration, which can pass through any type of defense. After all, it has not been shown that it can be immune to penetration, it could be very simple for both powers to cancel each other as well. Ddraig said he'd better not risk it, and wait until he can use his powers to the full, destroying Grassil in one shot.
