No matter how much she despises great-red, Ophis wants nothing but the best for her little hatchling. She let out a large sigh as she looked up to great red and said
"Very well, we will raise o… o… our hatchling together", it was very hard for her to say those words "however you WILL take this role very seriously. So that will mean you will have to stop all your crazy antics and be there for the boy whenever he needs it.
If, due to your actions, something happens to him, I swear to you. .
. ", she gave him a fierce glare as her aura surrounded her once more "you will regret it.
" For the very first time in his existence, great red felt fear as a chill went down his spine when she said those words. It reminded of an old saying the humans once said "Hell hath no fury like a mother's scorn" and boy were they right.
"So this is what fear feels like. Hahahaha.
This is very interesting indeed, I wonder how our life will change from here on now. This boy will change history as we know it.
I can't wait to see what will you will do … my son. " Thought great red as his body shined in a bright crimson light and out came a tall man with a muscular build possessing blood red hair, wearing a red coat with black jeans.
"I understand. " He flew towards Ophis and looked at the baby who slept peacefully in Ophis arms.
"I have to admit, he is adorable" he thought, as he poked him a bit with his finger which caused the boy body to rustle a bit. The boy in his sleep suddenly muttered "mama… papa" as both dragon gods got very flustered and amazed that the boy could already speak as well and being recognized as parents.
Ophis especially was incredibly happy that her son called him mama.
"What will we name our little hatchling?" asked great red, leaving the decision up to her. Ophis thought long and hard and looked at her boy with a bright smile and said
"We will name him… Issei. My sweet little Issei.
"
(Elsewhere)
"Has anyone found where Ophis is, yet", shouted Shalba Beelzebub as he slammed his fist into the table. Around him, were members of the Old maou faction that are now a part of Khaos brigade.
"we… we could not find her sir. We scowered everywhere but could not even detect a trace of her presence anywhere", answered one of his men, albeit frightened.
"Calm own Shalba, you are acting like a child. ", answered a buxom women with light brown skin and caramel-brown hair tied in a bun.
She wore glasses and a black outfit that is not very decent for public interactions.
"She is right, shalba, Ophis tends to disappear and reappear as she pleases. She will eventually return as she always does.
" Added another man who was near the woman. His clothes were black with dark red belts and even had a cape.
He had black hair tied up to a small ponytail and had violet eyes.
Shalba turned his head towards the two "Katerea, Creuserey, how could you not take this situation seriously. We need Ophis power in order to be able to take back the Underworld from those "fake" Maou.
As much as I loath to admit it, Sirzech and the other Maou's strength are too powerful for us to take on and that is why we require Ophis power. She promised us power in exchange for our assistance and yet now she completely disappears off the face of the planet.
We cannot proceed with our plans without it. " Shouted shalba as he let out his aura a bit showing his frustration at the situation.
Katerea and Creuserey both understood his concern. It was true that they required her power however it hurt their pride as the original descendants of the 4 great Maou to even acknowledge that the current Maou's strength were beyond theirs.
"Ha, you might be outmatched considering the current Beelzebub is indeed a super devil but that little bitch Serafall is in no way superior to me, the original Leviathan. " Said katerea with an air of confidence.
"Why you…" before shalba and katerea started a fight, creuserey got between them to try and diffuse the situation: "now, now, let's not fight amongst each other and focus on the task ahead. Although unlikely that they are stronger than us, the fact is that the current Maou's are indeed very strong and our plans would proceed that much easier if we have Ophis power added to our own so we should pool our resources together and find her as soon as possible and bring her back.
Would that do Shalba. " Shalba looked at Creuserey as his expression and aura calmed down.
"Very Well. Let's make haste then.
Men, scour every inch of this planet for her but make sure your activities remain hidden from the three factions" beckoned Shalba as one of his men asked "Should we enlist the aid of the other factions within khaos brigade?"
"Bahh, those weaklings are useless. Angels, humans, magicians are all worthless.
We will use them if the need arises. Now GO.
" His men disappeared via magic circles to begin their search.
"Soon, we will reclaim what is rightfully ours and claim this wretched world for our own. " Sneered Shalba as he had an evil grin on his face followed by his fellow faction leaders.
