(Pov. Ophis.)

I am Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon God of Infinity. My existence predates time, matter, and even the concept of existence itself. I simply was. In the primordial void of the Dimensional Gap, I reigned supreme, enveloped by the [Silence] that was my only companion.

For countless eons, I wandered through nothingness, my serpentine form weaving through the folds of non-space. Silence was my domain, stillness my essence. I was the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the serpent devouring its own tail in an endless cycle of destruction and rebirth.

But then, in a moment that defied all the eternity I knew, something changed. A disturbance in the fabric of the void, a ripple in the ocean of nothingness. And from it emerged... him. The Great Red.

His arrival was like an explosion of color in a monochrome world, a deafening roar that tore through the silence I so cherished. He was majestic, powerful, and above all, irritating. The Great Red, the self-proclaimed Dragon God of Dreams, had invaded my sanctuary.

At first, I tried to ignore him. After all, what was one more being in the vastness of the void? But the Great Red was not just any being. He was chaotic, unpredictable, constantly creating and destroying dreamlike realities with a mere blink of an eye. His power rivaled mine, and that... that deeply bothered me.

I tried to expel him, of course. I threw myself at him with all the force of infinity, my body twisting and multiplying into thousands of serpents. But to my surprise and frustration, nothing worked. My most powerful assaults passed through him as if he were made of smoke. The Great Red only laughed, a thunderous sound that echoed through the void, while he continued to create his dream worlds.

It was then that I realized my weakness. I, who had always been the beginning and the end, was stagnant. My power, though immense, was constant, unchanging. The Great Red, however, was the embodiment of change, of chaos, of dreams in constant evolution. And in a universe that now housed more than just the void, change was power.

This realization ate away at me. The [Silence] that once comforted me now seemed to suffocate me. I needed something new, something that could give me the upper hand over the intruder in my domain. That's when my eyes turned to a small blue planet spinning in a distant galaxy: Earth.

Ah, Earth. A grain of sand in the cosmic desert, but teeming with life, with potential. I could feel the latent power in its creatures, especially in those who called themselves "humans." They were weak individually, true, but they had something neither I nor the Great Red possessed: the ability to grow, to evolve, to dream beyond their limitations.

I then decided it was time for a change of strategy. If I couldn't defeat the Great Red on my own, I would form an army. A group of chosen beings, shaped by me, who would share my desire to return the void to [Silence].

I assumed a form humans could comprehend – a young girl with black hair and eyes as deep as the void. I walked among them, observing, analyzing, searching for those with the potential to become something more.

During these walks, I encountered Shalba Beelzebub, an ambitious demon with a burning hatred for the current system. His eyes gleamed with greed when I offered him power beyond his wildest dreams. Katerea Leviathan was next, a devil whose wounded pride made her perfect for my manipulations. And then came Creuserey Asmodeus, whose thirst for revenge made him malleable in my hands.

They became the core of what I would call the Khaos Brigade. A fitting name, I thought, as chaos would be the tool with which I would fight the Dream God. Ironically, I was using my enemy's methods against him.

As my influence grew, I felt a change within myself. Contact with these imperfect beings, their turbulent emotions and conflicting desires, was affecting me in ways I had not anticipated. I began to understand the Great Red's fascination with dreams and chaos. There was a raw beauty in unpredictability, a power in change that I had never appreciated before.

But that didn't lessen my resolve. If anything, it only intensified it. Now I wasn't just fighting for [Silence], but for something more. Something I didn't fully understand yet, but that drove me with a force that rivaled my own infinite power.

As I recruited more members for my cause, expanding the Khaos Brigade to include humans, youkai, and even some fallen angels, I felt the Great Red's gaze upon me. Sometimes, when I looked up at the night sky, I could swear I saw a flash of red scales among the stars, heard distant laughter on the wind.

He was watching, waiting, perhaps even... enjoying himself? The thought both infuriated and intrigued me. Was I, unknowingly, becoming part of one of his chaotic dreams? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

It didn't matter. I was Ophis, the Ouroboros, the Infinite. If to defeat the Dream God I had to embrace chaos, then so be it. My army grew stronger by the day, and with it, my understanding of this fascinating, confusing world.

One day, I would return to the Dimensional Gap. And when that day came, I would no longer be the lonely serpent of the void, but something new, something... more. And the Great Red would discover that he wasn't the only one capable of creating dreams – or nightmares.

In the meantime, I would continue my quest, recruiting, planning, evolving. For if there's one thing I've learned on this journey, it's that even infinity can change. And I, Ophis, am just getting started.

(Pov. Rizevim)

The game had begun, and everything would be phenomenal. To think that the Little Phenex had a girl with a subspecies Balance Breaker.

First, I had manipulated the infinite dragon god. Who would have thought she would be so foolish! So gullible and innocent.

Then, I had an encounter with a mysterious god, a God of the Heavens, like lightning, storms, or weather. Not only that, according to his estimates, this god in question was more powerful than him. Upon his arrival, this god gave him information, necessary information so that he could steal this girl.

"How cunning!" I thought, a malicious smile forming on my lips. The little Phenex had no idea of the treasure he had in his hands. Two Longinus! It was almost comical to think of all that power concentrated in the hands of a brat.

I recline in my chair, savoring the taste of impending victory. The plan was unfolding perfectly, each piece fitting together like a diabolical puzzle.

"Ah, Ophis," I murmur to myself, recalling how easily I manipulated the Infinite Dragon God. "So powerful and yet so naive." It was almost disappointing, really. I had expected more of a challenge from the entity that supposedly represented infinity.

I had already deliberately leaked the information to the new "Hero" group. They would try to steal Ophis' power. With the Khaos Brigade, Hero Faction, Qlippoth.

But I can't complain. Her gullibility only made my job easier. The Khaos Brigade, that army of power-hungry fools, was just another piece on my board. They thought themselves revolutionaries, agents of chaos, when in reality, they were mere pawns in a much larger game.

I rise, walking to the window of my office. Outside, the world keeps spinning, unaware of the fate that awaits it. Humans, demons, angels... all so busy with their little lives, their little dramas. If only they knew what was coming.

My thoughts return to the mysterious god who sought me out. I'm still surprised by the magnitude of that encounter. A being capable of manipulating the very heavens, bending lightning and storms to his will. And yet, he came to me. Rizevim Livan Lucifer.

"Why me?" I ask myself for the thousandth time. Not that I doubt my own worth, of course. After all, I am the grandson of the original Lucifer. The blood of the Demon King runs through my veins. But a god of that magnitude... what could he want with me? (A/N: Was he manipulated?)

The information he provided, however, was invaluable. The secret to stealing the Phenex boy, to taking the power of the Longinus for myself... it was as if he had handed me the key to absolute dominion.

I close my eyes, visualizing the power that will soon be mine. I can almost feel the energy coursing through my veins, control over reality within my grasp. With the Longinus in my possession, not even Ophis or the Great Red will be able to stop me.

A low laugh escapes my lips, growing gradually until it becomes a cackle that echoes through the walls of the office. The sound of my own laughter brings me back to reality.

"Control yourself, Rizevim," I tell myself, regaining composure. "The game isn't over yet."

I return to my desk, where maps and documents are scattered. Plans within plans, each more intricate than the last. My eyes scan the notes, the carefully crafted schemes.

The Khaos Brigade believes they're fighting for a new world, for freedom from the current system. Little do they know they're just a distraction, a smokescreen for my true objectives.

Ophis thinks she's using chaos to fight the Great Red, when in fact, she's paving the way for my ascension. It's almost poetic, in a way. Infinity and Dreams, two of the most powerful forces in existence, reduced to pawns in my game.

And as for the mysterious god... well, that's a puzzle I still need to solve. Why help me? What is his true goal? I'm not naive enough to believe he doesn't have his own motivations.

But that's a problem for later. For now, my focus must be on the Phenex boy and his Longinus. The power of the subspecies Balance Breaker... just thinking about it sends a thrill of anticipation down my spine.

I grab a pen, scribbling some additional notes on the map in front of me. Every move must be calculated, every action precisely timed. I can't afford to make mistakes, not when I'm so close.

"Soon," I murmur to myself, "very soon, the world will know the true power of Rizevim Livan Lucifer."

I glance at the clock. It's time to put the next phase of the plan into action. With one last look at the documents on my desk, I head to the door. The game is just beginning, and I hold all the cards.

Let the challenges, the obstacles, the enemies come. I'm ready for them all. For in the end, it will be I who laughs over the ruins of the old world, with the power of the universe in my hands.

And what a spectacle it will be.
