Ophis (Midnightverse)

"I will protect this world. The world in which Issei lives even if I have to fight you, Adversary."

- Ophis

Ophis is the Infinite Dragon God and one of the strongest beings to ever exist. She is a major character in the story, Highschool DxD: Til Midnight.

While most people believe that she was born from the energies of the Dimensional Gap, the truth was much more complicated. Ophis, in fact, is the shard/creation of the Cosmic Deity, Abyss, who personifies the Void. She is the rival of Great Red with who she fights in order to gain control of the Dimensional Gap.

History
Ophis was created eons ago by the Cosmic Deity, Abyss. She lived in the Dimensional Gap for a time and left for an unspecified amount of time. Upon returning, she found her home invaded by Great Red. There the two fought for millions of years for control with Ophis eventually leaving to form an army to oust him from her home.

Appearance
Ophis' current appearance is that of a cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips and black eyes (gray in the anime). Her ears differ from a normal human's as they have pointed tips, although her long black hair makes this feature difficult to notice. Her dark grey eyes have reptilian slitted pupils. Azazel stated that Ophis had the appearance of an old man in the past before changing it.

Her attire consists of a black Gothic Lolita fashion.

However, Ophis is a true shapeshifter, able to freely manipulate her body shape and size to assume any form that she chooses, regardless of her age, race, or gender. Unlike the other Dragons that have large reptilian-like bodies, Ophis is a human-shaped Dragon.

Personality
Being born from nothingness, Ophis rarely shows any sort of emotion, only wanting to get rid of the Great Red and return to the Dimensional Gap to obtain "silence". Issei describes Ophis as an honest and pure Dragon who is naive. Azazel indicates Ophis has changed because of her interaction with humanity, but it is never described as to how. Due to her somewhat extreme naivety, she acts like a child mimicking actions that catch her attention and always wandering off to anything she finds interesting.

Ophis cares a great deal about Issei as he was her first friend and the only one who showed her any affection apart from her creator, Abyss. As such, Ophis is protective of him and is willing to fight even the Great Dragon in order to protect him.

Powers and Abilities
"Like her father, Abyss, Ophis is an unfathomable existence whose power borders on the infinite"

- Cornelius D'Arc Ophis is hailed as one of the strongest existences in the entirety of Creation. Her power surpasses that of any God or Elder God currently existing as Shiva himself has shown that he will not fight her. As the child/creation of Abyss, Ophis can manipulate the destructive energies of the Void allowing her to control and manipulate the opposite aspects of Creation.
 * Immense Strength: Ophis holds immense levels of strength so much so that Beelzebub was very wary of fighting her. It is stated that Ophis in her prime is equal in power to Trihexa and Great Red.
 * Immense Durability: As a Shard of Abyss, Ophis's durability is extremely high being able to take True Longinus without so much as shedding a drop of blood. She was also withstood Samael's poison without experiencing any pain whatsoever.
 * Low Tier Nigh Omnipotence: As the Shard of a Cosmic Entity, Ophis holds unbelievable amounts of power once stated by various gods to be infinite. While not as powerful as the Cosmic Deities or even the Primordial Deities, Ophis still wields power vastly superior to that of all the beings in Creation with Beelzebub having to distract her in order to escape.
 * Highly Advanced Nihilikinesis: As the Shard of Abyss, Ophis can control and manipulate nothingness allowing her to completely erase nearly anything. While it is not perfect as only the victim's form is erased, Ophis can still use this to destroy an entire universe with ease.
 * Reality Warping: Ophis can easily bend reality to her whim.
 * Spatio-Chronikinesis: It is implied that Ophis can manipulate time and space.
 * Shapeshifting: Ophis can freely change her form.
 * Creation: Ophis was able to create a new body for Issei in the canon events of Highschool DxD.
 * Power Granting: Ophis can "bless" people as seen when she gave Issei and Vali her power of Infinity.
 * Flight: Ophis is able to fly without the use of wings.
 * Telepathy: Ophis can project her thoughts to others as well as read the thoughts of other beings.
 * Hand to Hand Combatant: Ophis has shown some degree of hand to hand knowledge as seen during her fight with Beelzebub.
 * Invulnerability: As the shard of Abyss, there are very few things in existence that can harm, much less kill, Ophis. She has shown the ability to survive being stabbed with True Longinus.
 * Highly Advanced Regeneration: Ophis has an immense healing factor.
 * Immunity: Ophis is immune to the effects of many things however, it was revealed that she is not immune to Enochian Weapons or Samael's poison.
 * Immortality: Ophis is immortal having existed for eons and cannot die of natural causes i.e old age.
 * Cosmic Awareness: Ophis is in tune with the many events happening in Creation. She was aware of the stirring of the Great Dragon and expressed fear to the other leaders to act fast lest all of Creation fall.
