High School DxD: Aeon of Time

Chapter 4: Dreams and the Universe



After a brief journey through the dimensional rift, Aeon, Iris, Yahweh, and Ophis arrived at the birthplace of Irene. The location was an absolute void within the Celestial Rift, a space where reality and illusion intertwined. Unlike the births of Yahweh or Ophis, the energy here felt far wilder and more chaotic.

A swirling vortex of blazing red energy began to form in the middle of the void. The vortex grew larger, creating a dimensional storm threatening to engulf the entire space. A destructive aura enveloped everything, causing Ophis to cling tightly to Aeon, her expression a mix of curiosity and slight caution.

"What is that, Nii-chan?" Ophis asked innocently, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

"That is the sign of Dream's birth," Aeon replied, gently patting Ophis's head. "Our youngest sibling."

Iris smiled softly, but her gaze carried a calm, calculating intensity. "Fufufu~ It seems Irene will be quite an interesting individual. The power she holds feels even wilder than all of ours combined."

The vortex suddenly exploded with a sound that shook the dimensions. From within the blast emerged a massive crimson dragon. Its body was covered in scales that shimmered like molten magma, and its enormous wings radiated an extraordinary destructive aura. Its golden eyes, with pupils shaped like dimensional cracks, gazed at Aeon and the others with curiosity.

Yet, beneath its wild aura, the dragon slightly lowered its head, displaying a natural sense of reverence it did not yet understand.

Aeon: "Calm yourself, little one. Take a form like ours so we can speak more easily."

The dragon stared at Aeon for a moment before slowly nodding. Its body began to glow red, shrinking rapidly. When the light faded, a young girl stood in its place.

She had long crimson hair flowing like flames, golden eyes with dimensional pupils that still exuded uncontrollable power, and luminous white skin. Her aura of combativeness was so strong that it caused the surrounding space to tremble. Yet her slender figure and determined face radiated a wild charm that was hard to ignore.

The girl stood confidently despite her lack of clothing, reflecting her disregard for ordinary norms.

Iris quickly raised her hand, draping Irene in a simple outfit made of pure energy. "Fufufu~ We can't let our little sister remain undressed," she said softly with a smile.

Aeon walked closer to Irene, gently patting her head while transferring basic knowledge into her mind. "From now on, your name will be Irene," Aeon said with a gentle smile.

Dream, now known as Irene, lifted her head and looked at Aeon with a sweet smile. "Thank you, Nii-chan!"

Irene turned to Iris, her eyes glowing with deep respect. "Are you Nee-san?" she asked, her voice filled with enthusiasm but soft.

Iris smiled wider. "Fufufu~ That's right. Call me Nee-san."

"Thank you too, Nee-san!" Irene exclaimed cheerfully, her initially spirited expression softening into warmth.

Ophis, who had been watching Irene with curiosity, stepped closer. "I am Ophis... Nee-chan," she said, tilting her head.

Irene looked at Ophis and suddenly hugged her tightly. "Nee-chan! You're so cute!" she exclaimed.

Ophis appeared slightly confused but soon smiled faintly and returned the hug.

Aeon, observing the moment, smiled with satisfaction. "Irene, I am your eldest brother, Alexander Aeon, and this is your third brother, Yahweh. From now on, we will guide you."

Irene gazed at Yahweh and Aeon, her eyes brimming with admiration. "Nii-chan!" she said enthusiastically.

In a short time, Irene revealed her unique personality. She possessed an unyielding combat spirit and often requested to spar with Aeon or Yahweh. However, she was very obedient to her siblings, especially Iris, whom she always called "Nee-san."

When playing with Ophis, Irene affectionately called her "Nee-chan," frequently hugging her or taking her on adventures across different dimensions. Despite her impulsive nature, Irene always ensured to protect Ophis with all her might.

Yahweh Begins the Creation of the Universe with the Help of Alexander, Iris, and Irene

After Irene's birth, Yahweh approached Aeon with a grand plan. "Nii-san, I want to create something new. A universe where life can flourish. Will you and Nee-san help me?"

Aeon smiled gently. "Of course, Yahweh. You have great potential to become an extraordinary creator. We will guide you."

Iris nodded gracefully. "Fufufu~ I can't wait to see the results, Yahweh. Let's begin."

Step 1: Forming the Cosmos

Yahweh began by gathering primordial energy from the void. With Aeon's help, the energy was shaped into the foundation of space and time. Iris then refined this structure by adding beauty and harmony, creating stable dimensions.

Meanwhile, Irene reinforced the universe's foundation by controlling the wild flows of energy that nearly spiraled out of control. With her temperament as the ruler of dreams, she subdued any fluctuations that could disrupt the cosmos's stability.

Step 2: Cultivating Life

Once space was established, Yahweh selected a planet to begin the creation process. He formed the basic elements, while Iris added touches of art and aesthetics. Aeon ensured time flowed perfectly, enabling natural progression.

When the first life emerged, Irene observed with great curiosity. "Will they fight, Nee-san?" she asked Iris.

Iris chuckled lightly. "Fufufu~ They will someday, Irene. But for now, they must first learn to grow."

Satisfied, Irene said, "Then I will watch over them. I want to see how they become strong."

(Note: The life mentioned above is not human, as humans will be created by Yahweh after he establishes heaven and his angels. The first humans will appear once the universe and Earth are balanced and fully prepared.)

Final Step: Perfecting the Universe

With the close collaboration of Yahweh, Aeon, Iris, and Irene, the new universe was finally complete. They stood together, gazing at their creation with pride.

"Nee-san, Nii-san, it's beautiful," Yahweh said softly, his eyes filled with appreciation.

Aeon smiled contentedly. "This is just the beginning, Yahweh. Your task is to maintain the balance of this creation."

Iris added, "And Irene, your duty is to ensure its stability, especially if anyone attempts to disrupt this world."

Irene grinned widely, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Of course, Nee-san! Anyone who threatens this world will face me!"

Hearing this, Ophis, who had been silent throughout the discussion, looked at Aeon with a curious expression. "Nii-chan, what about me? What is my role?"

Aeon turned to her, smiling softly, and gently patted her head. "Ophis, you are the embodiment of infinity. Your role is to be the counterbalance to all that is finite in this universe. You don't need to force yourself. Simply by existing, you will maintain a balance unreachable by boundaries."

Iris added warmly, "Fufufu~ And, of course, you can always stay with Nee-san."

Ophis tilted her head for a moment, thinking. Then, she smiled faintly and replied, "Alright, Nii-chan. I'll do my part... and stay with Nee-san."

Thus, each member of this family now had a role in the newly created universe, continuing their journey as guardians of the cosmos.
