--- Chapter 197 ---

Huo Yuhao and Great Red used the Dimensional Gap to traverse back to the Underworld. Even though he could easily use Spatial Authority, taking this route allowed Huo Yuhao to realize how important this place was for Highschool DxD's stability.

Not many people or entities know about this because the Great Red proclaimed Dimensional Gap as her territory. The only exception is the Biblical God(Yeshua), who exhausted his divine power to foresee the future.

Years in the future led to Biblical God's early death, but he successfully sealed Trihexa and warned the Great Red. It was unfortunate as the Biblical God doesn't have much of a choice.

It either dies early or perishes, not knowing the danger that comes to this world's face. From the current situation, the Biblical God obviously chose the former.

Great Red told Huo Yuhao that outsiders have loomed behind the Dimensional Gap since his arrival to Draconic Deus as if they were waiting for the fruit to ripen.

But what's ripe enough to gain the outsider's interest?

"What, so you're telling me the absence of your influence for slightly over a year is due to an unknown trial?" Great Red was speechless.

Huo Yuhao laughed and answered, "Pretty much."

"It was an absolute train wreck because I couldn't use my full power, but I learned a lot from it."

"For example..." Huo Yuhao summoned a drop of Primordial Ink from his index finger, transforming it into a black pole.

Ripple appeared on the end of the black pole, swirling into an ominous sharp storm.

Huo Yuhao tossed the pole nearby and caused a massive explosion that covered roughly a one-kilometer cubic area, leaving Great Red speechless.

That attack was enough to kill some gods in this world.

'Just how much power he gained when finishing that trial?' Great Red stared at Huo Yuhao's back solemnly.

As the Dream's manifestation, Great Red could tell that a small drop of ink was far from exhausting Huo Yuhao. Not to mention how casually he manipulates matter through this bizarre ripple method.

"Just like that." Huo Yuhao smiled at Great Red. "I believe you can replicate it with your power."

Great Red chuckled weakly and commented, "It would be a cheap copy."

"Dream is versatile because I can shape everything one could dream off, but something already existing is quite hard to manipulate."

Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and returned, "A cheap copy is better than nothing. Unlike any other beings in Draconic Deus, you and Ophis were born strong."

"Ophis trained under my teacher, so her power grew even more in just a year."

"You have potential, Great Red."

After hearing that, Great Red becomes silent for a moment.

She opened her mouth and said, "Rose."

"Rose?" Huo Yuhao tilted his head while creating a tear in the Dimensional Gap.

"My chosen name." Great Red nodded calmly.

"Calling me Great Red every time will be awkward if we decide to become partners from now on."

"Oh!" Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. His divine blue eyes shone in surprise.

"Well, let's do our best to protect this world, Rose."

"Mm."

...

...

Underworld, Dragon Nest's Floating Island.

While Huo Yuhao claimed the throne of heaven, Huo Yun'er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying'er entered seclusion. They have decided to condense their divinity under Yae's instruction, reaching the realm of a deity based on the Great Divine Fox's belief.

At the separated mirror dimension, three of Yae's clones were "skillfully." created from her mastery over illusion art, which she assigned to observe three beautiful women and ladies.

Even though they are clones, they are far from being emotionless. After all, Yae's clone is "inherently." connected through the hivemind.

Yae glanced at the meditating Huo Yun'er and commented, "She is doing just fine."

"I thought Yun'er would face hardship because condensing her divinities too early, but as expected of the woman who birthed the Brightest Lucky Star."

"Divinity of Luck, Illusion, Fire, and finally Truth."

"She's going to become one hell of a deity." Yae proudly nodded her head.

"As for Scathach and Qianye Ying'er, they aren't bad either."

Looking at the other Mirror Dimension, Yae saw Scathach meditating with two spears floating above her lap. The God Slayer released a dim crimson and gold aura, covering her body with a blood-like substance.

"I believed Scathach to be a muscle-head, but she sure surprised me with Divinity of Blood, Slaughter, War, and Magic. Mastering those Primordial Runes requires talent as well, I assume." Yae rubbed her chin in fascination.

"What a fine woman. I wonder where Huo Yuhao pulls her from. That world should be quite dangerous compared to this unrefined world."

Yae said so because Primordial Rune's existence alone is more powerful than most gods in the Draconic Deus. And now imagine what kind of entity created the Primordial Rune in Scathach's former world.

She couldn't help but become somewhat curious about it.

Even on her deathbed, Yae knew about the outer universe's existence.

There is no way her world is the only world in this vast spacescape of Star Rails. There must be more.

"Still, to think the Brahma Goddess also reincarnated to this world. She must have used all her inborn power and become nothing but a teenager in this current state."

"Fate sure gives her a leeway to become close with Huo Yuhao." Yae smiled in amusement. "At this pace, she'll soon recover her strength and become even stronger again."

"I don't know about her past life's memory, though. She might keep it or forget about it. Weirdly, Qianye Ying'er hasn't shown any Light of Creation so far."

Yae moved her gaze to the beautiful young lady in a mirror dimension. She sat down motionlessly and gave off the feeling of extreme temperament, making the atmosphere blazing in golden brilliance.

Qianye Ying'er face is enough to make men drool over her, and for years that beauty kept growing into untouched territory, except for one person.

"Dragon, Devotion, Desire, Destruction and not surprisingly Creation." Yae chuckled, shaking her head because of how ridiculously talented Qianye Ying'er is.

In her former world, Yae believed someone needs at least 10.000 years to start deitification. And that was just a simple starting point, not the whole process for one divinity.

Qianye Ying'er condensed five at the same time.

"The sunshine is warm." Yae returned to her body and yawned, lazily lying on a couch with a smile.

Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared with Rose and said, "How are you, Yae?"

"Where is everyone? Ah, never mind. They are condensing their divinities."

Yae nodded and responded, "So, who is this fellow?"

"Since I become one with this new body, I couldn't access all of my ability, so my future vision is kind fucked."

"Oh, her? She's the Great Red." Huo Yuhao answered casually.

"And her name is Rose."

The Great Red giggled and introduced herself, "Nice to meet you. I'm Rose. Most people know me as the Great Red."

"Eh?" Yae was speechless.

What's Great Red?

Great Red is the Dragon of Dragons, the Apocalypse Dragon, or the True Red Dragon God Emperor. She is the most powerful existence in this world, which Yae could see why at just first glance.

'Dream, huh? That's pretty neat and mixed well with my illusion. We can be good friends.' Yae planned something in her mind.

Teaching this fellow about DA Culture doesn't sound horrible.

"Hehe..."

"Hehehe~!" Yae laughed mischievously.

"Welcome to the Dragon Nest, Rose."

"Thank you." Rose returned calmly, not knowing the rabbit hole she'd fall into.

Huo Yuhao rolled his sleeve and commented, "Well, it's close to lunchtime."

"They should be done in an hour or so."

"I'll cook something."

"Sit down, Rose. I'd keep my promise and serve some nice food." He walked to the kitchen.

Rose sat down on the couch and was "slowly." approached by Yae.

'Have you heard about the Light Novel?' Yae whispered into Rose's ears.

"Um, no?"

Yae grinned inside and continued, 'Do you want to check my collections?'

'Don't worry. We can start things slowly~!'

"O-Okay," Rose responded awkwardly.

It's been a while since Rose touched upon the world's culture, so she does not know much. However, starting now will be okay, right?

"Let's be a good friend, Rose~!" Yae hugged Rose's left arm.

"Mm."
