The True Red Dragon God Emperor and Issei suddenly began to emit auras from their bodies. Emitting from Great Red's scales was the vast crimson energy pressure. Emitting from Issei was the flames from his Super Solar form.
Staring at each other, the auras of Issei and Great Red began to expand.
"You know," Issei began. "In a way, you and Ophis balance each other out. She represents the nothingness of Infinity. You, on the other hand, represent the power of dreams. Nothingness is infinite all by itself, but your power…as long as dreams continue to exist, then your strength is infinite as well."
"Humph. Nice observation, brat."
"If you really think about it, since you two more or less represent the aspects of Infinity, that would sort of make you and Ophis related. Like siblings."
"That's right."
"That would also make you...sort of like...my brother-in-law."
"So it seems."
The tension between Issei and the True Red Dragon God Emperor was fierce as their boundless auras expanded within the Dimensional Gap. The two strong beings narrowed their eyes as they stared at each other.
Ophis watched the scene with a cold expression, waiting to see what would happen to her mate, and her enemy/sibling. But what happened next was something not even the Infinite Dragon would've been able to predict.
"WHOO! HIGH-FIVE!" Issei and Great Red cheered out simultaneously as they clashed their hands together. As soon as their hands touched, the destructive power of Great Red collided with Issei's Solar Energy, causing the Dimensional Gap to shake momentarily.
"…What." Ophis muttered silently.
The Ouroboros Dragon widened her eyes at the most shocking thing in her life.
'My Issei and Great Red...getting along?'
"Kakakaka! How interesting. So Ophis has claimed you as her mate! That could only mean we were destined to be brothers!" Great Red exclaimed as he smirked at Issei.
Issei smiled as he clenched his hand into a fist.
'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.
