"Dragons and gods have long been eternal rivals, but our objectives have nothing to do with your kind. I have long abandoned my grudge against Ra... My sole purpose now is to follow Ophis. Denounce our existence and demonize us if you wish, but you are no match for the Infinite Dragon God. It would be wise for you to leave us be," Apophis threatened, his voice laced with a subtle warning.
Ophis nodded in agreement before speaking with her customary blankness, "Even with all those gods at your disposal, attempting to defeat me would still be an exercise in futility. You truly do not want to engage in such a futile endeavor. My purpose in coming to Japan is to seek out Vritra and Ddraig."
"Vritra? Isn't that the one Indra sealed away? He certainly wouldn't approve of your interference in his restoration," Amaterasu noted, her tone tinged with curiosity.
"I couldn't care less about his approval. He is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Indra holds no power over me," Ophis replied dismissively, displaying an air of indifference.
"You insolent little brat!" Susanoo growled, his frustration evident.
"However... I have no desire to engage in a conflict with all the gods and risk losing half of my dragon generals. It would be counterproductive to my objectives. Rest assured, they have no involvement in your affairs. It would be in your best interest to step back and attend to your own matters. Engaging in a war with me would be a grave mistake. For now, we shall depart," Ophis continued, her voice remaining stoic and unwavering.
Moments later, Ophis enveloped the entire group in a vast portal, transporting them away. Issei felt a sense of relief, grateful not to be in the presence of the three gods any longer. Soon after their teleportation, Issei found himself back on the rooftop of Kuoh Academy.
Looking around curiously, he noticed the absence of Saji, Vali, and Tiamat. 'Huh... Why did Ophis send me back here alone?' he wondered.
'Who knows, but we managed to avoid a major confrontation back there. Even with your strength, facing Ophis and the others would have been an insurmountable challenge,' Ddraig pointed out.
Issei nearly flinched when he turned around and saw Ophis standing there as well. Quickly regaining his composure, he addressed her, "Where are Vali and Tiamat? What about Saji?"
"They are still with the others. I wanted to speak to you alone for a brief moment before my departure. I apologize for the interruption earlier. Now, I have been observing you for some time, and I must admit, I find you intriguing," Ophis began.
"Intriguing?" Issei repeated, uncertainty lacing his voice. "Could you provide more details?"
"You bear a striking resemblance to me," she explained casually, her tone devoid of any emotion.
Issei deadpanned at Ophis, his voice laced with skepticism, "No, I'm not like you. I have emotions, and I despise politics. We couldn't be more different."
Ophis maintained her calm demeanor as she responded, "I, too, harbor a dislike for politics, drama, and war. Similar to you, all I yearn for is to exist in blissful separation from it all. Believe me, dealing with the Khaos Brigade has been an arduous task for me as well. However, there is one thing I desire above all else. Would you care to know what it is?"
Issei shrugged nonchalantly, his curiosity piqued, "Sure, why not?"
With a sigh, Ophis replied, her voice devoid of emotion, "Silence..."
The delinquent narrowed his gaze, a hint of frustration creeping into his tone, "So you're willing to start a massive war just to obtain silence? What kind of logic is that? The only way you'll achieve silence through such means is by annihilating everyone."
Ophis tilted her head slightly, contemplating his words, "Hmm... I hadn't considered that alternative before. Eliminating everyone would indeed create a scenario of silence outside of the Dimensional Gap. It could serve as a viable backup plan."
Issei's thoughts raced with disbelief, realizing the unintended consequences of his words, "Great... Now I've inadvertently suggested a genocidal solution if she doesn't get what she wants..."
"So, you desire to claim the Dimensional Gap for yourself? Is that why you plan to kill Great Red? Vali mentioned something about it to me," Issei sought confirmation from Ophis.
Curiosity flickered in Ophis' eyes as she responded, probing for information, "What do you know of Great Red?"
A sense of caution washed over Issei, sensing that her question hinted at knowledge of his connection to Red. Proceeding cautiously, he nonchalantly shrugged, "I assumed all dragons were aware of the Great Red Dragon of the Apocalypse. He's considered the most powerful being in the universe... even surpassing your might."
"My motivation lies in removing him from the Dimensional Gap. Whether he lives or dies is inconsequential. It was once my domain, but he has claimed it as his 'territory.' The incessant and tiresome noise within has become unbearable for me. I seek to return to the serene silence," Ophis explained.
Issei couldn't help but empathize with her desire, expressing his thoughts, "I can understand your longing for peace and quiet. I, too, find solace within the dimensional gap. But isn't there another way for you to find tranquility? As a dragon god, can't you create your own reality?"
Ophis reflected on his words, her voice filled with a tinge of melancholy, "That is precisely what Great Red suggested to me after he unceremoniously 'kicked me out,' as he so eloquently put it. It is perplexing... I once believed that we could coexist within the Dimensional Gap, but his noise became unbearable, and he despises my presence, deeming me 'lame,' in his own words."
Issei shook his head, his voice earnest, "Listen... Ophis, I don't hold any ill will towards you, but I believe you're going about this the wrong way. Starting a colossal mythological war and attempting to kill the most powerful dragon in the universe just to attain eternal silence? Do you not realize how tedious and senseless that sounds?"
"I don't expect you to fully comprehend, Ddraig," Ophis replied with a distant emptiness in her voice.
Though not surprised by her knowledge of Ddraig, Issei found it peculiar how she referred to him as Ddraig.
"Actually, my name is Issei. I am Ddraig's host," he corrected Ophis, emphasizing his individuality.
