Chapter 414: The Grander Scheme of Things

—

Countless dimensions were scattered across the planes of Earth, connecting to certain regions that led to certain dimensions. Mount Olympia, for one, is located in a hidden dimension occupying the skies of Greece.

However, this universe was grander than that. Earth was known as the Draconic Deus around the cosmos, by the occupant of the countless other planets that exist in the other galaxies and grander dimensions. Most other planets in the same dimensional wavelength as Earth hold aliens on similar power levels to humans, with some exceptions. However, the dimensions that exist on those planets, similar to how Earth has Mount Olympia and Asgard, hold Gods of their own. Some of them are Gods that can kill Great Red effortlessly; something that has happened already in the novel format of High School DxD.

The culprit belonged to a world called Evie Etoulde, which is divided between the races of Evie and Etoulde, who have been at war with each other since ancient times. Evie is a race of mechanical life forms led by Melvazoa, a Machine God. While the Etouldes are a race of high-ranked spirit gods led by their King, Resetoras.

The war between the Evie and the Etoulde caused the Evie to successfully exterminate all other organic life on the planet, leaving only themselves and the Etoulde as the only surviving races of Evie Etoulde. Even while the war has been ongoing, the Evie have been invading and conquering numerous other planets such as Fadir Ferdora, done by the Devastator Order led by one of the three Evie deities; Regalzeva, the older brother of Melvazoa, who set out to massacre all the living beings on it in a slow purge.

The Robotic God Regalzeva is the one who would kill Great Red in the future; he'd kill that unsurpassable wall effortlessly and invade the planet Earth. That is what would have happened in the future if things went as Fate would have it.

However, fate has been meddled with.

[Inside The Central Castle of Oz]

Two abstract entities observed the happenings around the universe that held the DxD Earth, sitting in a royal room and sipping tea. Lady Luck was by Lady Life's side, looking into the orbs of floating lights that showed the universe like a TV.

"Evie Etoulde has been conquered. Fate has changed. Many of the Gods of that planet have died, including Regalzeva. That means Great Red will not die by Regalzeva's hands; however, it also implies that he might die by the hands of these invaders instead." Lady Luck said in a dark tone, gritting her teeth.

Fate has been twisted and bent in ways that shouldn't be, as the large forces of Criminals, and Bounty Hunters – many of whom were as strong as the Prime Gods themselves – rushed from the Prime Omniverse to slip into this Universe. They were called the Fiends.

In normal circumstances, defensive forces from the Cube Omniverse will be here to deal with them already, but they were being delayed because Class 1, Entity Buddha wanted these Fiends to finish the job they came here for.

"How ugly." Lady Life muttered.

"These invaders from the Prime, these Fiends, are beyond anyone from Earth. If not for your help, they would have invaded the planet by now. Great Red would have been dead, and the planet would have been destroyed for sure. Even with your help, they'll barely stand a chance, Lady Life." Lady Luck said in a dark tone, gritting her teeth.

Life gave her a look, smiling as usual.

The world needed a boost, the power level was too low for them to fight back against the Fiends. Plus, it would have helped the Gamer by giving him more experience points if the inhabitants of the plane were stronger. So, Lady Life did exactly that. She had grabbed a few DxD parallel worlds and stacked them atop one another. The power levels of everyone increased a lot, by many folds, and because she had intended for the strong characters to grow stronger – she willed it and the higher tier individuals received greater growth than the one at the bottom.

As for the price Lady Life had to pay to achieve all this? Nothing. Class 1 Abstract Entity, Lady Life, was not at her peak power level due to being imprisoned for so long, but she was still a force to behold. She was still stronger than Lady Luck, which implied a lot. Being someone who scaled on the Omniversal power level, this level of action where she merged universes cost her nothing at all.

"The Buddha will soon know it's me, though." Lady Life said. "But thanks to the prison break and the trouble the other prisoners will be causing, we should be fine for a bit. That, and they can't send anyone to take me from here even if they realize I'm here, since then they won't be able to continue pretending that they didn't know Fiends from prime were gathered in this place."

Lady Luck sipped her tea. "How long are we stalling for time?"

"Not for long," Life replied. "The two of us need to do some things, and by the time we are done I am expecting the Gamer will be finished with his assimilation."

"Oh... Still, that's the son of you and the first gamer... Amazing. Am I like an aunty to him?" Lady Luck looked at the man.

Lady Life let out a laugh. "Maybe. Huh. If I asked you for help back then, if I had a speck of luck with me back then, maybe... he would have turned out differently."

"I am sorry I wasn't there," Luck said, and Life just shook her head.

"It's fine. Though, we planned to fix him in the... future, but well, I doubt that'd happen now that he's gone." Life sighed.

"We can ask Neji to..."

"No." Life laughed. "Let us change the topic."

Lady Luck didn't say anything and just nodded. Life called her son, "Ra. Can you guard this place? I and Luck will be out for a while. I want you to protect this place until then. Just sit here, your presence could keep them out. At least until the Godmother appears."

The reason why the Fiends haven't gone to Earth yet was that they knew about the change in power level, and they also knew the one responsible for that was in this dimensional gap now. Now that Great Red itself was stronger than ever, they didn't want to take a chance with this new powerhouse, so they've been waiting out,

"As you wish, Mother." The golem man, Ra, said as he sat down on the ground. The entire void shook by that little gesture as if it'd collapse.

"Now, Luck," Life stood up, gently holding Luck's hand and helping her stand up too. "We need to go out and help out your gamer in the way that matters to him the most."

"...Are we going to find the lost girls for him?" Luck asked in surprise.

"Yes. Do you have anything you want to say?"

"Well. I can't find Kimi, though. Now that my powers are free, I tried locating them by their names, and couldn't find Kimi anywhere. Her last signature was in a Bleach world, and in my sealed state before I thought she was still there. But there is nobody in Bleach. It's the Yaoyorozu girl in this world and Nejire Hado in Tensura. But I can't find Kimi."

"Kimi Sugihara...?" Lady Life looked a bit troubled suddenly. Then she paused, her eyes sparkled and she smiled. "Ah, I see. I get it now. Don't worry, she is somewhere fine. Somewhere. Well, I guess she isn't fine by the Gamer's definition, but we can't do anything about it. It makes sense now though, all of a sudden. I should have seen this coming."

"What is it?"

Lady Life didn't explain. Instead, she held Luck by her hand and pulled her into a hole in reality. They went through the wormholes amongst verses and traveled to their destination.

"You'll understand later, it's confusing. We should go and retrieve the Gamer's sister for now. He needs someone he can hug."

Lady Life said as they traveled to the world of slimes and dragons, leaving Lady Luck wondering a lot of things; with a new one being – how long had it been in this world since Nejire Hado came?
