--- Chapter 196 ---

"Protection??" Great Red curiously stared at Huo Yuhao.

"I know you possess several bizarre abilities, but sealing the 5th Dimension is impossible unless you are..."

"No way, you attained Divinity already?"

When Huo Yuhao first emerged in the Great War, Great Red had never felt so threatened by his otherworldly strength and abilities. She witnessed countless bizarre things with her "Dream." power.

Even then, Huo Yuhao didn't pose any danger or hostility toward her.

He disappeared and appeared years later, claiming his desire to conquer this world. He successfully brought the three factions under his hand but vanished again awkwardly after conquering the Realm of the Dead.

Now meeting him personally for the first time, Great Red couldn't sense the depth of Huo Yuhao's power. He seems limitless and shallow simultaneously, having no presence of a lower being.

In the past, Great Red sensed immense draconic pressure from Huo Yuhao's body, but now that pressure seems gone.

Yes, something about him is weird.

Huo Yuhao smiled and didn't explain much, "Well, I leave it to your imagination."

"Though, I promise to help Ophis... So, no personal feelings if that airhead yet adorable dragon suddenly popped out of nowhere and beat you up."

"What?" Great Red was stunned.

Why did Huo Yuhao suddenly bring up Ophis into the conversation?

Ophis to Great Red is like a sister.

Even though Great Red kicked Ophis out of the Dimensional Gap in the past, it meant for her and this world's safety. The Dimensional Gap is a dangerous bridge between this world and the outer universe, which holds tremendous danger.

She couldn't let Ophis roam so freely, or else the Ouroboros Dragon would get sucked into the void.

Not many people know this, but since the beginning of time, powerful beings like Great Red, Ophis, and Trihexa were "purposely." birthed into this world for a reason.

Great Red is a literal manifestation of dreams so that living beings can dream.

Ophis is a literal manifestation of infinity so that living beings can last and improve indefinitely.

And Trihexa is a literal manifestation of destruction so that living beings can end themselves. Everything that starts needs to End.

There are more powerful beings like them, but they perished before reaching their peak.

Huo Yuhao smirked because Great Red's thoughts were plastered all over her face. "You're looking down on people from my world too much, Great Red."

"I know some of Dragon Nest's members will have a difficult time against you, but our top echelon could wipe this world faster if I ordered them to."

"Well, it's understandable for a being like you."

Compared to Yeshua(Biblical God), Indra, or any other gods in the Highschool DxD world, Great Red is ten if not a hundred times stronger than them. That's because of her origin as Dream Manifestation.

"Open your eyes wide, Great Red." Huo Yuhao pulled Fairy King's Canvas and Onyx Brush from his inventory, staring at the Draconic Deus(Earth) with a possessive smile.

"This is the power that protected Dragon Nest."

Huo Yuhao opened the scroll in his right hand, revealing a golden page with a mystical blue hue. His finger dripped with black-colored blood and moistened the white brush's tip.

Great Red could feel an unimaginable power coming from the scroll and brush, frowning because such a power can even shape a world. There is something profound and mysterious about Huo Yuhao's black blood too.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and skimmed the scroll with his brush, making Great Red's eyes widen in shock.

"Wait, what?!"

Before Great Red's eyes, a black line appeared in the atmosphere of Draconic Deus(Earth) and covered the sky with its darkness.

The line moved and formed a drawing of a mountain and sky, intertwining the planet slowly. Huo Yuhao glanced at the moon and sun, maintaining the orbital order so the Draconic Deus won't fall if he added more reinforcement.

"Moon Drawn By Clouds." Huo Yuhao whispered as if it were magical words, triggering a drastic change in his power manifestation.

"Sun Lock to the Earth."

"Sun and Moon, Spatial Lock."

Huo Yuhao ended his first drawing and saw the Draconic Deus protected from any 2nd Class God's existence. However, it was far from enough to keep it safe.

The incoming "Great Enemy." is a challenge for Huo Yuhao to join the order. According to Yeshua(Biblical God), that exact enemy will possess immense power rivaling him.

Huo Yuhao didn't want to take any chances and started drawing again, creating layer upon layer of dimensional barriers. After an hour or so, Huo Yuhao breathed in and saw several Primordial Ink Sealings he had placed onto this world.

On the other hand, Great Red was speechless because Huo Yuhao spammed his godly sealing abilities like no tomorrow. Even though she was the strongest in this world, except for Trihexa, she felt these seals would restrict her movement.

"Great Red, try to enter the Dimensional Gap." Huo Yuhao commented calmly.

Great Red awkwardly nodded and tried to pierce spatial fabrics with her claws, feeling their toughness of it.

She could do this way easier an hour ago. Easier than breathing.

However, She failed.

"..." Great Red.

"What have you done?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged and answered casually, "I impose my will toward this world."

"Locking Space, Time, and Realms with my Primordial Ink."

"Anyone below my level. Wouldn't be able to enter and escape."

"Of course, if you have my permission, nothing is impossible." Huo Yuhao flicked his brush, sending a drop of his Primordial Ink to Great Red.

Great Red caught the ink and felt the resistance in space fabrics disappear. "Ridiculous..." She couldn't help but mutter in disbelief.

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Nothing is ridiculous if you experience what I went through when I disappeared for a while."

"Also, you should try to relax more..."

"Are you reading my mind?" The Great Red frowned solemnly.

"No, not really." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile. "As I attained my godhood, I could feel every emotion in this world. You, in particular, are bored and anxious about something."

"Guarding the Dimensional Gap must be hard, huh?"

"I see..." Great Red fell into a complex thought. How long has it been since she roams and protects the Dimensional Gap?

The incredibly lonely and quiet area where only she could last and live for eternity.

"Thanks."

It's just one word, but Huo Yuhao knows Great Red is grateful.

"You're welcome." Huo Yuhao yawned while putting the Fairy King's Canvas and Onyx Brush back into the inventory.

"Do you have an appointment, Great Red?"

The True Red Dragon God Emperor shook her head and answered, "I wanted to return to the Dimensional Gap formerly, but knowing your seals will protect this world and its realm, my job lessened a lot."

"Maybe visiting the Human World isn't so bad."

Huo Yuhao extended his hand and offered, "Then what about lunch at my home?"

"I bet you've never eaten anything good for years. Well, I doubt you even need food to sustain yourself."

"As long as there is "Dream." in this world. I'll continue to exist." Great Red nodded with a smile. "A lunch, eh? Sure, let's see how good the food is in your home, Huo Yuhao."

Great Red grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand, feeling the warmness of his skin.

"Follow me. You'd not be disappointed." Huo Yuhao grinned slightly.
