A/N
Hi all and welcome back to world of DxD chapter two. It has been ages since the release of the first chapter so I want thank everyone for returning to the story, the plan for this story is to expand and alter the complete timeline of the DxD the universe. By doing this it allows me deviate from the original story, while also pushing myself out of my comfort zone further and further from where I feel safe as a writer. Hopefully expanding my expertise and confidence as a writer in the process.
By doing this I hope it gives my readers a different style while also somewhat of a different genre of story pulling in different types of readers that may not have read my other story, hopefully causing them to go and read it while also doing the same with from my another story coming to read this one. The actual origin of the story came from a good friend of mine who encouraged me with some prompts to write a story around these key ideas while also still giving me the freedom to make it my own so do they might like to say thank you.
Another thing that I cannot stress enough is the amount off reviews for not just this story and my others but also authors of other stories as well as it is the reviews that really keep a lot of us going knowing that the story is getting traction.
so, I guess lets begin.
Coughing and splattering as he laid there on the ground, Issei was somewhat confused and a bit frightened and was going on. The last thing he remembered was that he was fighting the great beast 666 and appeared to be on the losing end of that battle.
Thinking back to everything that he had lost, Issei mood went from one of confusion to one of deep sorrow, fluctuating between the two. Getting to his feet and looking around the young devil, was somewhat surprised at what or rather where he currently was.
Standing up and beginning to walk around, the young man noticed that he appeared to be walking on an immaculately polished marble floors with grand columns surrounding the edges of the room holding up magnificent ceiling above his head.
"Where am I" Issei said to himself as he continued to look around only to hear the familiar voice come from beside him.
Turning around and looking beside him the young man noticed a somewhat familiar redheaded man standing behind him. Looking closer at the man he noticed that this man, was taller than him standing roughly around 6 foot three in height with short red hair and emerald green eyes, studying the man closer Issei notice that he had one long scar that ran diagonal across his chest causing, Issei to look at him strangely.
"Ddraig, is that you" Issei said wondering if the familiar voice he had heard come from this man.
"Yes.. But I don't know how I'm here, my body was destroyed millennia ago" Ddraig said as he ran his hand through his hair smiling at the thought of hasn't having a physical form once more.
Walking over to his closest friend, Issei standing only around 5 foot 8 was dwarfed by the larger dragon who only chuckled at their current predicament. Looking around the two instinctively began to walk down what appeared to be a large hallway that was sidelined with large ornate windows showing the two be outside of the building that they were currently in.
Outside the windows, and I suppose outside this building was what appeared to be something like that of the dimensional gap, the kaleidoscope of colours and soundless void was somewhat soothing to the two as it was at least something similar all familiar to them. But this wasn't to last.
The sense of familiarity soon faded as the two continue down the hallways commenting that this dimensional gap that they were looking at was not the one that they were most used to, as it appeared to have spiralling orbs and galaxies spiralling through it.
"Where are we" Issei said as he looked towards his partner in crime.
"Wherever we are, we aren't in Kansas anymore" Ddraig said chuckling at his bad joke trying to lighten the mood.
As the two arrived at the large brown wooden doors, at the end, of the corridor that seemed to go on forever. They both seemed to stop. Before either one of them could even touch the door handle the two doors opened up as if on Q revealing a large round table with what appeared to be 36 chairs around it.
Looking closer at the table, the two noticed that behind it appeared to be raised platform with four more chairs situated up on this level signify something of authority over the round table in front of them.
"Well this is funky" Issei said as he looked around the room noticing a chandelier above the table.
"This is the most normal part of it" A male voice said scaring the two causing them to turn around getting into a fighting stance not knowing what or who was in the room.
Looking over the two were increasingly shocked and he was standing there, standing there in front of them was the six-foot two former Governor General of the fallen angels Azazel, but this wasn't the Azazel that they knew.
Looking closer at the man, the two noticed then the dishevelled ask and damage body of their Azazel was completely amended ,as the man sitting in front of them had all four his original limbs including the one that he had lost during the meeting as the three factions years ago.
"Azazel" Ddraig said as he looked towards the man, looking somewhat stunned at the heavenly dragon standing in front of him.
"Hello red dragon emperor" Azazel reply as the three began to communicate amongst themselves.
"Where are we" Issei said as he looked towards his mentor not knowing what was going on hoping that the Governor General would know at least a bit more than the two of them.
"Well, to be completely honest I still don't really know. But what I do know is this place looks increasingly like that of heaven" Azazel said as Issei place his hands on his chin disagreeing with the fallen Angel on his statement.
"I've been to heaven this is not how I remember it" Issei said as the Governor General could only chuckle and what was going on.
"Yes you've only been to six levels of heaven, you've never actually entered the 7th level which housed God's throne, did you" Azazel said as he placed his hands on the young man's shoulders.
"So you're saying we're in heaven" The heavenly dragon chimed in as he watched the former Angel shake his head in disagreement.
"No this is not, this is something way more powerful than that" Azazel said as he heard someone laugh at he's assessment of there current situation.
"Oh my boy you were always the most intelligent of my creations weren't you" Another voice said causing all three of them to turn around looking at the four chairs that said above the round table noticing that one of them was now occupied with a male figure.
Looking at the chair in front of them to the three individuals looking clearly and utterly dumb struck at who was currently in the room with them. Sitting in the chair almost as if he knew what was going to happen sat an older looking gentleman with a long white beard, white clothing and what appeared to be gladiator sandals.
"How is this possible" Ddraig said as he looked towards the man who only smiled back at the dragon.
"What do you mean.. Who is that man" Issei said Azazel answered he question.
"That there is God" Azazel said shocking the young devil.
"But he's dead" Issei said trying to clarify what was going on.
"Very assertive young man, I can see why you liked him my son" The man now known as God said as he ran his hand through his beard.
"How are you here" Azazel said walking towards his father somewhat hesitantly.
As the former Governor General of the fallen angels walked towards the man sitting on one of the four chairs, he's two companions soon followed closely behind him wondering what was going on, and why they had been brought here.
Watching the three get closer and closer to him, the old man couldn't help but smile in anticipation that was what was going to happen. Arriving in front of him the three soon stopped looking at here somewhat confused she smiled at them eagerly.
"Where are we" Azazel said as he looked towards his father somewhat confused at what was going on.
"This is new genesis my son. And this is my original home" God said
"Original home, you appeared out of nothing" Azazel replied looking at his father somewhat confused and what was going on.
"Yes that is what the texts from that world stated wasn't it" God said.
"That world" Ddraig reply wondering what the supreme being of the Christian faith was talking about.
"Hey, Ddraig I see you're looking well" God replied before continuing "Yes that was a 419th iteration of the universe my friends, and it appears that the great beast 666 also destroyed it as he had done 171 times before, however this time it seems he had the greatest difficulty doing it" God said as the three men looked at him stunned at the mere thought of 418 worlds and universes ending before theirs even began.
"What do you mean this is your original home" Issei popped up for the first time wanted wanting to know everything he could about what was going on,
"Oh yes hello young man," God said before continuing once more.
"Nothing, always comes from something and this is where I was originally from, I am one a 40 supreme beings that have come to call new genesis home, we have always interacted in the worlds that have been created by a combined effort of all, with some staying longer than others, some not staying at all and others watching from afar from here" God said causing them to sit down listening to him as he talked.
"You have actually met some of these beings before, dragon gods Great Red and Ophis are two of these beings that sit on the round table., however other beings 's that sit on this table that you may have heard of include Gaia" God said all three of them sat there stunned wondering what in all worlds what's actually going on.
"So what's with the four seats up there" Azazel replied wondering what the four high chairs actually represented.
"Very observant as usual, these four chairs are the representatives who hold the four strongest powers within new genesis, these beings guide the council below as their leaders while also acting as counsellors of matters of great concern.,
"Who are these beings, that's sit above monsters like great red" Ddraig said as he stood up pointing his finger towards the supreme being.
"Well as you can see, I am one of them, another is my older brother Dahak, my younger sister death and another being known as Eurous sit upon these chairs" God said as he looked at the three eagerly waiting clear response.
"So who are these super gods" Issei said as he notice the old man stand up and walk towards him.
Arriving in front of him Issei notice but the man was roughly around 6 foot 4 in height and appeared to have a grandfather aura surrounding him causing the devil to calm down in his presence.
"Well I guess I'll start with the oldest of us, Dahak, Dahak is a being with the power of darkness and everything in that dominion, his strength is only rivalled by four, who occupy these chairs, however during past, the power between the four of us fluctuate. Sometimes others amongst us are stronger than the others while other times we are all equal empower" God said as the three nodded in agreement with what he was saying.
"Obviously death is well death" Azazel said to his father he nodded in agreement at the fallen angels statement.
"Yes, yes she is she's been known on her taking petty revenge on those who mock her or escape her grasp multiple times" God said as he chuckled as the four began to walk out of the room into another long hallway.
"And the last" Ddraig said wondering about the beamed known as Eurous.
"Oh Eurous, well isn't he an anomaly even amongst us, somewhat of the trickster. He is the kind to appear and then disappear, coming to meetings if he so wishes. His power lie in the realm of free will. A power that allows you to follow your dreams somewhat pairing him with great red" God said as the three behind him nodded in agreement and what was currently being told to them.
"So why have we been brought here" Issei reply getting to the factory and wondering what was going on,
"well, I need your help" God said as he looked towards three, causing them to look at him super confused and what was going on.
"The reason why we need your help is because one of our own. He sits amongst the 36 and has been growing in power for a number later editions of the world.
"But you are one of the four heavenly generals, what is one of the 36 worrying you so much" Azazel said as he walked towards his father he shook his head disapproving of his comments.
"Because over the generations he is growing in power perhaps equalling if not exceeding our own" God said as he looked towards the three he looked back at him more confused than ever.
"If you all can't stop him, what do you think we can do" Ddraig said as he looked towards the older man somewhat frustrated at the current development in the world breaking predicament that he was currently in.
"Because your host especially this time around, bad been somewhat of an unpredictable force in the world and we think that you are what we need to put a stop to his shenanigans once and for all," God said as he looked at Issei he nodded somewhat hesitantly at what was going on.
"And me, what do you need me here" Azazel said as his father placed a hand on his shoulder company the young man needs time and need.
"Well you're going to be his advisor once more, training him harder than you ever have before plus you were the only one that understands my sacred gear system almost as much as I did," God said as he looked towards his son he just stood there shocked at what was going on.
So who is this being" Issei said wondering who they would be having to fight.
"Some know him his father time, but his true name is Kronos, the progenitor of the Greek Olympians in the master of time," God said as the three of them looked at him in somewhat shock, even the four heavenly generals in this seeking outside help.
"So how are we going to help, there's nothing for us to go back," Issei said as he looked towards the man standing in front of him beginning to get frustrated at one now they would ask for help with that offered their help all resistance in the past through all their groups and problems.
"Well, we're going to send you back, or rather forward should I say," God said as he looked towards the three with a wicked grin as the doors opened beside them revealing a silhouette as I hodded woman shortly appeared and then disappeared before watering even a word.
A/N that's all for this chapter, I hope you enjoyed it and I want to thank everyone who read this for coming back to this story after such a long hiatus between chapters, I'm thinking of doing one of these chapters for every three chapters of my other story as it will somewhat break up the constant continuity of chapters between age while also allowing me to work on a different style of writing each time while also summer allow me to jump between two different timelines, improving on different things within both while also trying out new techniques and writing styles within these chapters.
It won't be so long till the next chapter release for this one as I plan to do the more frequently as I've stated above. This story is a bit challenging for me as it is pushing me out of my comfort zone riding slightly changing things in ways where it throws the entire story out of whack while also last may as well to write a more original story than that of the original or my others.
So once again thank you for reading and I hope you tune in for the next chapter.
