'This is too awesome for words! One of the two strongest beings in existence…and he's my brother-in-law! AWESOME!'

Grinning widely at each other, Great Red and Issei bumped fists, chuckling at the other. Ophis, on the other hand, looked at her mate and….her 'brother' in absolute astonishment.

Smiling widely, Issei turned to look at Ophis.

"Ophis, Great Red doesn't seem like a bad guy. He's just being a good brother."

Narrowing her eyes at her mate for the first time, Ophis flew up to Issei and glared at the Great Red, pointing to him.

"Great Red is noisy. He is distracting. He makes too much noise. I, was born here first. He, needs to leave."

Issei shared a glance with the Great Red, before they looked back at Ophis. Ophis's eyes twitched as she palmed her face in a manner similar to the one she had learned it from.

"This is embarrassing. My mate and Great Red...brothers-in-law. This is not fair."

"Oh come on, Ophis. Don't be mean to your brother. Kakakaka." Great Red cackled as he gave Ophis a cheeky grin.

Feeling an unfamiliar emotion within her, Ophis held out her hand and began to charge a black energy blast towards the Great Red, who widened his eyes at the unexpected attack.

Issei rose an eyebrow at the scene and sighed.

'They sure do fight like siblings. Ophis, being the oldest, and Great Red being the youngest.'

"Hey! Ophis cut it out!" Great Red yelled out in annoyance.

"I shall blast Baka-Red's mouth." Ophis said in a menacing tone as she increased the intensity of her energy blast.

"Yep, definitely like siblings." Issei amended.

Issei's House

"Well that wasn't too bad."

"I, did not like your interaction with Baka-Red."

Issei smiled as he looked to the side to see Ophis lying next to him on the bed. The Infinite Dragon God frowned cutely at her mate as she held him close.

After the revelation that she and Great Red were in fact 'related', Ophis, for the first time, was shocked. Her shock had turned to horrified realization when Issei pointed out that he and the Great Red were, in simpler terms, 'brothers-in-law'.

To put it short, Ophis was not happy at all about this.

"You don't have to worry, Ophis. Great Red doesn't really seem that bad to me." Issei said.

Issei looked at the Ouroboros Dragon curiously, and blinked several times. Ophis gazed at her mate with her usual emotionless expression, though the look on her face appeared to be more annoyed than anything.

"Baka-Red, is too noisy. He, annoys me."

"He's like your opposite. You like quiet places, while Great Red is noisy like a biker guy."

"Exactly. He, is my antithesis."

"I'm not so sure about that, Ophis."

Ophis tilted her head at Issei's statement, and rose an eyebrow in a questioning matter.

"What do you mean?"

Sitting up straight, Issei smiled at the Infinite Dragon God.

"It's like I said earlier. You both represent Infinity. You were born from the Nothingness of Infinity, while Great Red was born from Dreams. You and Great Red, in my opinion, are the absolute strongest beings in existence, Ophis. You're also my family, and I'm glad that I got to know you both."

Even though Ophis' facial expression remained cold and emotionless, she felt something stir within her. Ever since she was born, Ophis felt only the nothingness of eternity, possessing no ounce of emotion. When floating around in the Dimensional Gap, she merely basked in the nothingness in her home. All she desired was silence, as it was initially her first craving.

Then many years later, the being in front of her was born. When sensing his energy for the first time, she felt something clouding over her state of nothingness.

"My Issei. My mate." Ophis stated as she hugged Issei tighter.

The Infinite Dragon God's love for Issei, to put in shorter terms, was infinite. In a way, all three of them, herself, Issei, and Great Red, represented a certain aspect of Infinity. Ophis was Nothingness, Great Red was Illusion of Dreams, and Issei…

'My Issei. His energy is virtually infinite. He, is like myself and Great Red. My…Issei, represents the quasi-aspect of Infinity.'

"Issei…"

Ophis blinked and looked to see her mate sleeping peacefully. Tilting her head, Ophis released Issei from her arms, and brought her hand to caress his cheek gently.

"My Issei. You are sleeping, like an Angel."

A sly smile formed on Ophis' face as she tilted her head. Her sharp dark-gray eyes glinted as she smiled wider.

"If my Issei was an Angel, only I shall be the one to make him fall into Nothingness. I, am Nothingness. Issei, is mine. I, am the Nothingness that will hide its mate. I, love my Issei.

Outside Issei's House

"Rias, this is a terrible idea. No scratch that, it's a stupid idea."

"Hush, Sona!"

Sona rolled her eyes as she watched her childhood friend set the ladder in front of Issei's house. The Sitri Devil shook her head in disappointment.

After Serafall and Tsubaki had informed her that Issei's opinion of the Devils had changed for the better, Sona did not hesitate to tell Rias about the news.

'What a horrible mistake.'

Eager to introduce herself to Issei, Rias followed the traces of Issei's energy and tracked it to his house. Sona, worried about what her friend was getting herself into, followed her to make sure nothing would happen.

"Rias, why did you even bring a ladder?"

Sighing tiredly, Rias turned to glare at her friend.

"Because If I knock on his house door, there's a chance Ophis might answer. Tsubaki already told us how possessive Ophis was of Issei, so that plan is sure to fail epically. I'm not going to risk that. And I'm not dumb enough to teleport in his room either. So using a ladder is a sure and much safer way to talk to Issei."

"Have fun get beaten up by Ophis then." Sona said as she walked away from her friend, quickly losing hope and patience towards Rias.

Pouting at her friend, Rias scoffed and climbed up the ladder, almost all the way to the top of Issei's room window.

The crimson-haired Devil held in her breath as she took another step and she climbed up the ladder. Raising her head up, her blue-green eyes widened when she looked into a pair of dark-gray soulless eyes.
