Chapter 16: Ophis/Sky

The vast, silent void of the Dimensional Gap stretched infinitely around her, the swirling emptiness as unfamiliar as it was eerie. Sky opened her eyes, blinking slowly as she adjusted to the nothingness that surrounded her. She wasn't dead—that much she could tell—but this place, wherever it was, felt like the border between life and something else entirely. She let out a long sigh, her mind replaying the chaotic events that led to her being here. One minute, she had been with her siblings, and now, without warning, she was... somewhere else.

"I've been isekai'ed, haven't I?" Sky muttered to herself, her voice echoing strangely in the empty space.

A cold, detached voice cut through the stillness. "Yes."

Sky's head snapped toward the voice, her eyes widening as she caught sight of a small girl standing in front of her. She was pale, her long black hair cascading down her back, and her expression was as emotionless as the void itself. Despite her appearance, the aura she radiated was suffocating, a chilling pressure that made Sky instinctively wary.

The girl spoke again, her voice calm and distant. "I am Ophis."

Sky stared for a moment, before a nervous laugh escaped her lips. "Wait, Ophis? As in the Ouroboros Dragon from High School DxD? You're real?"

"I am the Infinite Dragon God," Ophis said flatly, as if such a title meant nothing to her.

Sky blinked, trying to wrap her head around the situation. This was real, right? She hadn't suddenly fallen into one of her brothers' anime marathons, had she?

"Okay, so I'm not dead, and now I'm standing in front of Ophis. This is... a lot." Sky scratched the back of her head, forcing herself to stay calm. "So, why am I here? And where exactly is 'here'?"

"This is the Dimensional Gap," Ophis explained in her monotone voice. "You have been brought here because you are needed."

Sky raised an eyebrow. "Needed? By you?"

Ophis nodded, her dark, unblinking eyes never leaving Sky's. "Yes. I require your assistance."

Sky stared for a moment, then burst into a fit of laughter. "Wait, wait, wait. The most powerful, overpowered being in the universe needs my help? That's rich."

Ophis didn't react to Sky's humor. Her gaze remained cold and detached. "You were chosen. You possess the potential to assist me in reclaiming my home."

Sky wiped a tear from her eye as she tried to regain her composure. "Wow, this really is some isekai-level stuff. So, what exactly do you need me to do? Help you win some battles? Collect some magic artifacts?"

Ophis's face remained expressionless. "I seek silence. My home, the Dimensional Gap, has been disturbed. I need it to return to its natural state."

Sky blinked, tilting her head in confusion. "So... you just want some peace and quiet? That's it?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Sky paused, considering the situation. "This is definitely not what I expected from getting isekai'ed. I thought there'd be more adventuring and, like, leveling up. But you just need me to help you get some peace? Alright, I guess I can work with that."

Ophis's unflinching gaze stayed on Sky. "You will aid me."

Sky grinned, her usual playful nature kicking in. "Well, I don't have much of a choice, do I? Besides, this whole situation is too ridiculous not to go along with. I mean, who gets isekai'ed and then ends up helping the Infinite Dragon God with her noise complaints?"

"Your cooperation is necessary," Ophis said, her tone never changing. "You will be given the power you need to assist me."

Sky couldn't help but laugh again. "Oh man, this is going to be wild. So, do I get cool dragon powers? Super strength? Teleportation?"

"You will have what you need," Ophis replied, her voice almost mechanical. "The task is simple: eliminate those who disturb my silence."

Sky paused, her smile faltering slightly. "Wait, eliminate? As in... you want me to get rid of them?"

"Yes."

Sky let out a slow breath, the weight of the situation sinking in. "Okay, so this is more serious than I thought. But you're telling me I'm supposed to deal with whoever is messing up your peace and quiet?"

"Correct."

Sky rubbed the back of her neck, her expression becoming more thoughtful. "Huh. Well, this isn't exactly what I signed up for, but I guess it beats being stuck in limbo forever. Plus, I can't say no to a literal dragon god."

Ophis gave no reaction to Sky's words, simply watching her with those cold, unblinking eyes. "You will begin now."

"Hold on a second," Sky said, raising her hands. "I still have a lot of questions. Like, what happens to me after this? Am I stuck here forever, or do I get to go back? What about my family?"

Ophis turned away slightly, her gaze drifting into the distance. "That is irrelevant. The task comes first."

Sky sighed, shaking her head. "Of course it does." She paused, glancing around the vast emptiness once more. "Well, I guess there's no use complaining. If I'm going to help you, I might as well have fun with it. Who knows, maybe I'll run into some interesting characters along the way."

Ophis glanced back at her. "You will not fail."

Sky smirked. "Oh, don't worry about that. Failure's not my style. Just, uh, try not to get too annoyed if I crack a few jokes along the way."

"You may do as you wish," Ophis said, her tone unchanging. "As long as the task is completed."

Sky couldn't help but laugh again, shaking her head at the absurdity of the situation. "Alright, Infinite Dragon God. Let's do this. Operation: Silence is officially a go."

With that, Sky followed Ophis into the unknown, a mix of excitement and nerves bubbling within her. She had no idea what challenges lay ahead, but one thing was certain—her isekai adventure was shaping up to be a whole lot weirder than she ever could have imagined.
