"A pity." She had been irritated quite a bit over the course of these few weeks by the inhabitants of Kuoh. It was why she found herself seeking solitude along the outskirts of the city.
There was a lot of equipment lying around and the dwelling whose basement she had claimed for her own looked to be undergoing repairs, but this strange machine allowed her a great view of the city without having to utilize her magical power and tip off any observers who would interrupt her search for her quarry.
She didn't want to alert the pretenders or the stand-in to her presence here, it would just complicate her search further.
Even if they were just minor annoyances to a being like her.
Standing atop a crane, the Dragon God observed the city of Kuoh and watched as the faded light of the Void scattered throughout the air grew in strength.
Ophis narrowed her eyes, focusing as much as she dared without drawing on too much power to avoid clouding the scent any further than the wind already had.
When she had first begun searching for her power in the city, she quickly realized something rather annoying.
Something that wasn't the pitiful lifeforms that were in her way. The power of the Void had been blown all over the city of Kuoh by the wind, indicating regular usage of the power she had gifted the Demon Emperor and concealing the source of the power from her senses unless she dared to contact an ally who would be able to differentiate the false trails created by the wind from the trail that would lead her to her target.
Ophis let out something akin to a huff, she didn't want anyone knowing of this project of hers. And she also doubted that her power, potent as it was, could be parsed out by any other than her.
Besides, the Demon Emperor known as Lelouch vi Britannia was an interesting man, one whose service she had claimed for herself, and she wasn't willing to share that easily, after quite a few interesting events gave her the opportunity.
In the past, Ophis had observed the conduct of the man named Charles zi Britannia in the World of C, a ridiculously small portion of her domain within the Dimensional Gap, as he attempted to slay the Collective of Humanity, what he mistakenly called the Collective Unconscious, with a weapon he deemed the "Sword of Akasha".
An arrogant name if she ever heard one, naming a weapon to kill a God after the Root of All Things was extremely pretentious in her view. Regardless, she had observed him in hopes that this weapon of his could be turned on the Great Red.
However, there had been a flaw in the man's plans. The Emperor who preceded the Demon Emperor did not count on his son thwarting his goal and dismantling the weapon system he had spent his life building. And how that son had managed to do it sparked the interest of Ophis and other interdimensional observers.
The young man, who called himself Zero, the Man of Miracles, had commanded a God with his power. While the command was one the God wished to follow regardless, the fundamental nature of the man's power was that of Command. Something like that could not be ignored, especially by a fellow God.
So, during one of her rare bouts of freedom from Great Red's irritating presence as the oaf of a Dragon practiced a backflip or something equally absurd, Ophis had turned her attention to the world in which the man she would later learn was named Lelouch vi Britannia.
There had been others observing as well, other dimensional observers. She had felt their eyes, but as they didn't step into her domain she did not care if they witnessed the same thing as her when she watched the death of Zero, the Man of Miracles, and the birth of the Enemy of the World, the Demon Emperor Lelouch vi Britannia.
The Dragon God watched with genuine interest as the young man who had done what was believed to be impossible went on to become the sole ruler of his world.
She had watched his descent into madness and darkness as he became a twisted ruler known as the Demon Emperor.
Ophis had little care for what he did to his world, only watching so that she could learn more about this mysterious power that he had at his disposal.
The more she learned by watching the Demon Emperor, the more she wanted to obtain that man as an ally, but she could not step into the world that he ruled. It was one of many dimensions she could observe, but not enter.
It was why she had yet to tap the numerous resources that could have helped eliminate the red pest in her home that existed throughout the many worlds the Dimensional Gap was linked to.
Throughout her existence she had only found a few dimensions she could move about freely, beyond her own at least, and the Realm of the Twin Immortals was not one of them.
Unless the Demon Emperor returned to the World of C, as the small area of her domain had been referred to by those who were aware of it in that world, she could not make contact with him. So, with difficulty, she found herself learning how to be patient.
There was a chance, a miniscule chance but still a chance, that the power held by the Demon Emperor could assist in her cause. So, she waited to see if he would return to her domain.
And, while not as expected, the man had indeed returned to her domain after his death. Not in a way she had thought possible, but she had nonetheless managed to take advantage of the opportunity presented to her.
But when her little project had failed she had attempted to return him to his world only to be distracted by Great Red, resulting in the Demon Emperor falling through a portal she had summoned in an attempt to force the giant red irritant to leave her home.
