There will be no OC in this story but be advised that some characters will be OOC in one way or another.
and another thing is how quickly Vali took out Loki, Well as I wrote in the first chapter, Loki was exhausted from his ultimate high range attack and from the fight with the devils so his powers and stamina were greatly decreased when Vali appeared.I will upload one more chapter this week and from next week forward it will be twice a week, I still haven't decided how long the story will be chapter wise but I
I will upload one more chapter this week and from next week forward it will be twice a week, I still haven't decided how long the story will be chapter wise but I I do have the rest of the story lore figured out until the end.

(Time Skip two months after the fight with Loki)
It was night time when Rias and her peerage sat in the club room, Chilling now that they finished with their devil work for the day.
"I can't believe it's already been two months since we lost Issei" Rias suddenly said in a somber voice.
No one answered. They all had sad expressions on their face and looked like they were thinking deeply.
Yes, they all thought about the same thing. The things that Issei did for them.
'He helped me to accept a half of me that I hated' Akeno thought of how Issei helped her accept her Fallen Angel heritage that she despised even since her mother was killed.
'Thanks to him I managed to overcome my greatest fear' Koneko thought, remembering how Issei helped her come to terms with her powers and who she is.
'He saved my life, he freed me from a forced marriage to a guy who didn't even love me'
Rias thought about the event that probably made her fall in love with Issei.
'Issei-san saved my life, He was my first friend and the person she loved. Without him, I would have been dead.' Asia thought
"Buchou, How do you think everyone is holding up? We haven't seen them since the funeral" Kiba's question brought Rias out from her deep thoughts.
"I don't know Yuuto, I hope they are all doing fine," Rias said unsure of how everyone was holding up since Issei funeral.
(Flashback)
Today was a sad day, it was around noon but the sky was gray and it was raining and cold.
Yes, today was the funeral of Issei Hyoudou.
Many peoples arrived at the funeral, most notable attendants were the three faction leaders who came to pay respect to Issei and of course Issei parents who came to mourn the loss of their son.
but also fellow students arrived at the funeral to pay their respect for their deceased friend.
Among those students were the Kendo girls, The Student Council and the perverted duo.
also, a young busty girl with long, Brown hair in multiple drill-like curls was present in the funeral, sitting in the back while mourning the loss of her beloved.
It was now time for people to give their eulogies about Issei.
"Issei was a kind and caring child, despite his perverted nature he always respected girls and treated them like a man should treat a woman". Issei parents began their eulogy.
"He was a good boy who deserved to live a long and happy life. Issei our son, we will miss you greatly. We hope that wherever you are you now rest in peace" finished with their eulogy to their son they stepped down with tears streaming from their eyes and was followed by Rias.
"Issei was a good friend, loyal and supportive. When we first met Issei we all had our own problems which we thought could not be solved, That was until Issei showed up and did his very best to solve those problems for us so we could be happy and he did" Rias said with watery eyes, trying her best to remain composed but was starting to fail but luckily she was finished with her eulogy so she stepped down.
Next was Asia.
"Issei-san was a very special person for me, he was my first friend, he saved me from a life of loneliness and sorrow and without him I wouldn't be here surrounded by many friends and family which I came to know thanks to Issei-san" Asia who was now finished with her eulogy said, weeping all the while.
The rest of the funeral went the same, People who had a connection to Issei gave their eulogy to the deceased teen.
The three faction leaders followed suit, each retelling their time with Issei and what they thought about him.
But out of the three leaders, Azazel eulogy was the most notable one.
"Issei Hyoudou, A person who shared the same goals and ambitions as me, You were like a son to me.
A son I never had and I will miss you greatly boy"Azazel said which surprised a few people of how well the man thought of Issei and how he cared for him deeply so far as to say he was a son to him.
After the eulogies were done the coffin was put into the ground and covered.
(End of Flashback)
Meanwhile, in an unknown place, Vali and his team were resting after another mission.
"Nya Vali who do you look so upset? Ever since we retrieved Fenrir a month ago you looked upset by something" Kuroka asked her teammate who was upset for an unknown reason.
"Hmmph! I am not upset by anything, I am fine" Vali said trying to brush Kuroka off.
"Don't try to lie to me Vali Lucifer. I can know when people lie to me don't you remember? I can feel their energy changing when they do" Kuroka said clearly spotting Vali's lie.
"Pff. Nosy cat" Vali muttered to himself for no one to hear.
"Well if you have to know then I was upset because of Hyoudou, When we were retrieving Fenrir I saw him lying in the hands of that Gremory girl, lifeless," Vali said to Kuroka who was listening carefully to her teammate's words.
"Is that why you were so upset for the past month? I thought you didn't care for the Red Dragon Emperor, In fact, I remember you saying that you will kill him" Kuroka replied now confused by why he was caring about his rivals death if he wanted to kill him anyway.
"I don't care about him!" Vali rebutted
"It's just that I wanted to fight him and see which of us was stronger, I wanted to be the one who will defeat Hyoudou." Vali continued to say.
"Well, you could always fight against the next Red Dragon Emperor whenever he or she awakens," Kuroka said in an attempt to cheer him a bit.
"Well I guess you are right, I hope the next host will be a worthy opponent" Vali said hoping that whoever the next possessor of the Boosted Gear is he will be someone strong
(Four Months time skip)
Four months later, Now half a year after Issei's death things started to lake a turn for the better.
Rias and her peerage started to smile again and be happier even to the point of joking with each other. This all happened after they reached a decision three months ago that they should try and move on instead of continuing to sulk and grieve. After all, they still had a very long time in the realm of the living.
During that time Rias and Akeno tried getting together with a few humans that they met during their devil duties, Trying to move on from Issei which at first worked but later failed for few reasons so instead of humans they tried to get together with other devils, Hoping that it might make them move on.
Asia, Koneko, and Gasper were now closer to Kiba, After Issei's death, they had no one to talk to and found Kiba as a good friend and listener.
He listened to them spilling their feelings and their thoughts and supported them during the hardships they faced against.
He in return sometimes shared his feelings and thoughts with them as well which they happily helped him with.
Kiba also trained Gasper so he could become stronger and control his sacred gear better while also helping him to get over his shyness and be more social with the others.
Irina and Xenovia who by now swore to not love any boy again after what happened to Issei and were starting to get to their normal selfs, Starting to joke and smile more often.
It seemed like they were finally managing to move on from Issei, But only if they knew that someone still had plans for Issei.
Issei woke up only to find himself enveloped by nothing but blackness.
"Ahh, where am I?" Issei said waiting for his partner to respond while trying to recover from waking up.
"Ddraig are you here?" Issei said after not receiving an answer from his partner.
"I am sorry my child but Ddraig is not here anymore" a new voice which Issei didn't recognize said.
"Who are you?! Show yourself!" Issei said surprised by the new and unfamiliar voice while also raising his guard.
"Don't worry my child I am not going to hurt you, I just want to have a talk with you?" the voice said trying to calm Issei down.
"You still didn't answer my question, Who are you and what do you want?" Issei said, determined to get answers.
"I will give you the answers you seek so please listen to me my child," The voice said again.
"Okay if I will get my answers then I will listen to you," Issei said content with the fact that he will get his answers.
"Issei Hyoudou, I have watched you for a long time" the voice who became serious started to say.
"What? Why did you watch me and how do you know who I am?" Issei said now having more questions and no answers.
"I watched you for you are a very important person, You may not know it but your existence has a bigger impact then you realize," The voice said receiving nothing but a small nod from Issei.
"You have been killed by Loki, The Asgardian God. But you have been given a third chance in life for you still have a large part to play in future events"
"Important role? Future events? What are you talking about?" Issei who was starting to get impatient and irritated shouted.
"Yes, an important role for you, My Boy, are the one who will face against the Apocalypse," the voice said in Issei's bewilderment.
"A-Apocalypse?! What are you talking about? How do you know that I will have to face the apocalypse in the future?" Issei asked the voice in fear and a bit of curiosity.
"I know that because I have seen your future my child" the voice replied.
"You saw my future? Just who are you?" Issei asked in irritation.
"I, My child am the God From The Bible," the voice said which shocking .
"God from the bible?! I thought you were killed in the war" Issei said, gasping but not entirely believing the voice who now introduced himself as God from the bible.
"Well I can understand why you thought that my boy but you forgot that I, the creator of this world, cannot die for I am the one who created the principals of life and death, I was exhausted from the Great War and entered a deep slumber until the time was right, and now the right time has arrived although I do not have long I am afraid"
God said.
"I am still lacking most my powers so I'm about to enter my slumber again but I do not know when I will wake up from it. It could be millions of years until I emerge from my slumber for the power I lost during the war was great" He continued
"I understand, I think. So what do you want with me? Now that you told me about my future encounter with the Apocalypse, I guess I will have to train with Ddraig even more now"
"Ah but might be a problem my child since Ddraig is no longer with you" God replied.
"WHAT?! Where did Ddraig go then?" Issei replied shocked from the revelation.
"When you died the {Boosted Gear} was separated from your soul and went to the next host," God said answering Issei's question.
"So how am I going to fight against the Apocalypse without Ddraig? And I suppose I am not a devil anymore?"
"You are correct my child" God replied
"Just great,,,First I die and then I am being told that I need to face against the apocalypse in the future, whatever it may be and now you tell me that I don't have my sacred gear nor my devil powers?"
"Well you may not have your Boosted Gear and your devil powers but I am going to give you another Longinus, a much more powerful one which will help you face the Apocalypse," God said making Issei relax a bit.
"What kind of Longinus? I hope it will be strong" Issei replied, excitement and curiosity can clearly be heard in his voice.
"The last Longinus I ever created, It was created for this sole purpose as you will be the only one who ever possessed that Longinus, {The Divine Chaos Gear}
"Oh wow that sounds badass!" Issei said in awe.
"The Divine Chaos Gear is a Longinus which have the excess energy of the two Heavenly Dragons which could not be sealed into the sacred gears along with their soul, This energy will grant you the powers of the two dragons but only at a basic level like the Divine Dividing and Boost but that's not all
the gear also has the remaining of my powers sealed inside of it along with a fragment of my conscious which should be of a help in the future" God said making Issei even more excited.
"So not only I will have my old powers although on a basic level I will also have a part of your power and a part of your conscious as well?"
"Yes, Think of it like how Ddraig was in the {Boosted Gear}. You will be able to talk to me and seek my advice about things"
"I understand, This is so awesome!" Issei replied in excitement before he remembered something important.
"Umm if-if you watched me f-for a long t-time I guess you saw my...perverseness?" Issei said stuttering from both fear and nervousness.
"Ah yes I did my boy, but I also know what your heart really seek, You desire to be loved by many, You are a kind and nice boy who will lay his life for those he love but you experienced many suffering and betrayal in your life and because of that you decided to seal away your feelings and act only to feed your needs.
"I gave everyone the principal of free will so they could live their life as they see fit, You are no different. Know that no matter what choice you make in your life I shall not criticize you for it nor I will try to object to it for it was my intentions for everyone to make their own choices" God said surprising Issei greatly.
"But don't you mind my dream of becoming a Harem King?" Issei asked trying to make sure he could still fulfill his dream.
"As I said my boy, I gave everyone the ability to choose their path in life. But as for your case even if I did want you to act according to my will and do as I desire I could not.
for my will is not a part of me anymore and was sealed inside St. Longinus spear"
"Phew that's a relief, but yeah I understand. I hope I will be able to face against the apocalypse" Issei said while sighing in relief that his precious dream wasn't damaged.
"Oh wow thanks!" Issei said grateful for the new Longinus and God acceptance of his life choices.
"Divine Chaos Gear!" Issei shouted summoning his new gear.
"The new gear looks similar to the [Boosted Gear] when it's in [Second Liberation mode] in design but it is now colored in black instead, symbolizing the Chaos with ten Golden Spikes manifesting from the gear symbolizing the Divine
and like the {Boosted Gear Second Liberation Mode} there are two jewels.
But these jewels unlike the ones [Boosted Gear] will change their color based on the mode you are in" God started, explaining Issei how his new Longinus looks and work.
"Green for [Welsh Mod] which symbolize Ddraig the Welsh Dragon and your previous partner
Blue for [Vanishing Mod] which symbolize Albion the Vanishing Dragon
And Gold for [Divine Mode] which symbolize my powers and consciousness
Each mode will grant you the basic powers of the same being. For example being in [Welsh Mode] will give you the ability to boost your powers while [Vanishing Mode] will give you the ability to divide your opponent strength.
[Divine Mode] unlike the other two modes is not restricted to it's basic form and have infinite potential to evolve depend on the host in this case you, but be warned that when using that mode for the first time you will experience large pressure and be put into big strain which could force you into a coma for a few weeks when you stop using it, but after the first time your body should get used to the strain and you will not go into coma nor feel strain every time you use it.
This mode grants you my powers of divinity like no other, It allows you to fuse my energy into your attacks which will increase its strength along few other things.
It will also greatly increase your regenerating abilities and will allow you regenerate even faster than a Phoenix.
Of course, this mode unlike the other two can evolve and new abilities can be created but that depends on you to do.
It also have the features that every Longinus have like [Balance Breaker] and [Juggernaut Drive] but it is up for you to discover how to activate those abilities, But be warned that with a power as great as that there is also a price to pay" God said now finished with his explanation about the new Longinus.
"Oh wow that sound powerful, I will be invincible with that gear,this time," Issei said excited by the mass amount of power his Longinus possess.
"Not exactly boy, as everything else in life the [Chaos Divine Gear] have it's ups and downs so you would not be invincible but currently there are only five more Longinus classed sacred gears which can be considered on par with yours, But that depends on many factors like the Longinus possessor and their abilities" God said in a serious tone.
"Those five are the St. Longinus Spear, Zenith Tempest, Annihilation Maker, The Holy Grail and Incinerate Anthem"
"Really? So only five are on par with my Longinus? And that assuming their hosts are able to wield them good enough" Issei said confirming what God said.
"Yes my boy" He replied
"I understand, I wonder how Rias and the others will react when I am back with those new powers"
Issei said with eagerness and excitement how the girls he love and his friends will react to his return to the realm of the living.
"I sorry my child but I am afraid things are not like you expect them, You have been dead for six months now and it seemed that most of your friends moved on with their lives," God said not sure how to deliver the news to Issei.
"What do you mean?" Issei asked not sure what he meant.
"Here I will show you what your friends have been up to while you were gone," God said and then flashbacks could be seen instead of the blackness but what Issei saw in those flashbacks made his blood boil.
In those flashbacks, he saw his friends, the same friends he sacrificed his life so they could be safe acting like he never existed but what angered him the most was the picture of Rias and Akeno engaging in intimate acts with people he never saw.
"I-I thought they loved me, That I was a part of their lives or so I wanted to believe," Issei said shocked and enraged by what he was seeing.
"I understand you my boy but I am afraid that this is not all, There is a truth that you must know. A truth that has been hidden from you by Rias Gremory and her peerage" God added which made Issei tense up visibly,
"A truth? What are you talking about?" Issei said petrified.
"Yes my boy, On the night you got killed by the Fallen Angel Raynare, Rias Gremory and her peerage at that time had full knowledge of what Raynare had planned and let it happen in order to reincarnate you as a devil and get possession of the Red Dragon Emperor," God said
"Y-You're lying! There is no way they would have known about it and still let it happen!" The now angry Issei said, thinking that God was lying.
"I wish it wouldn't be true my boy but I am afraid it is, You can see for yourself," God said before another set of pictures appeared and in those pictures Issei could see that God was right.
Rias and her peerage at the time knew exactly what Raynare planned and still let it happen.
"I-I can't believe this! I thought they were my friends, I thought they just saved me from death because they cared about my life, I loved them and now just like Raynare did they severed my trust in them and broke what was left of my heart, I will never forgive them!" Issei said in a fit of rage, not hiding any of his feelings.
"I am sorry my child, I wish I could help you with your pain but my time to sink into a deep slumber yet again has arrived, but before that, I will return you to the realm of the living now"
"I understand," Issei said, not entirely sure what he should say.
Then he saw blackness but his time, he felt himself lying down in a tight spot.
He tried to move his legs and hands but to no avail, Then he remembered where he was.
'Oh right, I am in my grave...Well that sucks, I need to get out of here before I will suffocate' Issei thought to himself.
The now panting Issei finally managed to get out of his grave underground after a big struggle.
"Phew...Glad that part is over... "Issei said before continuing
"I don't know what I should do, should I go back to my house to see my parents? I don't think I am ready to face...them" Issei said while sighing in relief that he was finally out of his grave before his voice turned bitter and angry in the end.
"Maybe I should go visit Azazel instead, I kind of missed that old pervert," Issei said to no one in particular, Now deciding to pay a visit to his old sensei.
So Issei did just that and started teleporting to the Grigori but unknown to him a small bird watched everything that unfolded and flew away when he teleported, going to her master with the new information.
Unbeknownst to anyone a girl with a curvy figure and brown hair which was set into twin pigtails, each on the side of her head and wrapped in red ribbons. was in her room, Sleeping after a long day of practice.
In her dream, she was running in a dark meadow with no light except for the moonlight.
She was running and running until she collided with something rough.
"Aww... What is that thing?" The girl said while rubbing her head before lifting her head to look at the thing she collided with.
At first, the girl saw nothing but after few seconds she saw two large green eyes looking directly at her.
The girl who was now frighten began to scrabble backward in an attempt to get away from that thing but to no avail.
"W-What a-are you?" The girl asked with an unnerved voice.
She got no reply from that creature, the only thing that could be heard was silence before a light suddenly appeared in the meadow, revealing the creatures look.
The last thing the girl remembered before waking up from her dream was seeing a red creature with large green eyes who looked like a...Dragon?!
AN: Ok guys, that's it for this chapter! I hope you enjoyed it, I dropped few hints regarding how the story will evolve from here and who the two girls are, I updated the last part and added a small detail I forgot about that will help people to guess who that girl is.
I hope you will not be upset from who i chose as the next Red Dragon Emperor, I will see you in the next chapter and please don't forget to Favorite, Follow,and Review!
