Chapter 12 - whatif betrayed issei had the void light virus

Issei Hyoudou — once known as the Red Dragon Emperor and savior of many — finds himself betrayed by those closest to him:

Rias, Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse — all seduced by a random high-class devil from the Bael lineage.

Sirzechs, Azazel, Michael, and Odin — all faction leaders complicit in stripping Issei of the Boosted Gear, giving it to the Bael devil.

Ddraig — willingly transfers to the new host, disgusted with what Issei had become, believing he "tarnished the title of the Red Dragon Emperor."

Thrown into the Human World, broken and alone, Issei doesn't seek revenge — he simply stops caring.

II. The Birth of the Virus: VOID LIGHT

With nothing but the shattered pieces of his old self, Issei channels his genius — fueled by hatred, detachment, and experimentation. He gathers:

Trihexa's blood

Shadow Magic

Samuel's cursed blood

Old viral strains and demonic pathogens

Blood magic

Through forbidden rites, he synthesizes the ultimate mutagen:

VOID LIGHT

A virus beyond anything seen in Prototype

Capable of evolving, assimilating, and destroying concepts, gods, and rules

---

III. Issei's New Form

Appearance

Hair: Long, chaotic black that seems to absorb all light

Eyes: Glowing blood red irises, black sclera, and shadow-like veins trailing from his sockets

Skin: Pale, with crimson-black fractal patterns pulsing under the surface

Body: Built, lean but monstrous — every muscle refined, restructured by the Void Light virus

Height: 6'3" with a commanding aura that feels ancient and viral

Outfit

Trench Coat: Floor-length, obsidian black, torn and stitched with infected tendrils and Void symbols; the inside pulses like it's alive

Pants: Reinforced black combat-grade trousers, made of flexible bio-weave resistant to all magic

Boots: High, black steel-shod boots etched with infernal sigils

Gauntlets: Twin arm gauntlets fused to his flesh, sprouting tendrils of infected tech and runes of containment

Undershirt: Skin-tight, scale-like black material that reacts to threats with shifting armor plates

Cape: Tattered, void-colored half-cape draped from one shoulder, humming with unnatural energy

---

IV. New Mindset

Issei feels nothing toward his betrayers — not anger, not sadness. Just... silence.

He has shed his humanity and is no longer "Hyoudou Issei."

He simply exists now to build something greater than gods or dragons.

V. The Infections – His First "Family"

Alex Mercer

Willingly infected

Merges his original Blacklight virus with Void Light

Retains his intelligence, creativity, and hunger for evolution

Becomes Issei's Right Hand — the mind

James Heller

Willingly infected

Embraces the transformation fully

Keeps his rage and loyalty to Issei

Becomes Issei's Left Hand — the fist

Together, the three form a triad of infection — warriors of the Void Light.

They begin crafting a new faction within the Dimensional Gap.

---

VI. Faction: The Voidborn

Name: The Voidborn

Base: Floating Citadel in the Dimensional Gap — a bleeding fortress of flesh, shadow, and steel

Philosophy:

> "We do not conquer. We absorb. We do not hate. We evolve. We do not forget. We transcend."

Creatures infected are rewritten, not destroyed

Species evolve into forms that reflect their deepest nature

No gods, no rules — only the will of the Voidborn

---

VII. Abilities – Issei, Post-Infection

Void Shift: Phase through dimensions and realities

Black Bloom: Spore-like constructs that infest environments, converting everything into void matter

Ego Reset: Temporarily erase a being's sense of self

Red Throne: Manifest a throne of tendrils that overrides all magic in range

Gauntlet Claws: Twin morphing weapons that absorb energy, memories, and bodies

Infection Imprint: He can infect concepts (like time, light, and gravity)

---

VIII. Reactions – Every. Single. One.

Rias, Akeno, Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse

Shame, guilt, and fear.

Rias cries out for forgiveness. Issei doesn't even glance at her.

Asia collapses, clutching her cross.

Akeno goes silent for the first time.

Xenovia draws Durandal in guilt, but even the sword shudders.

Irina prays.

Rossweisse tries to justify — but there's no justification for what they did.

Sirzechs, Serafall, Ajuka, Falbium

Realize they may have birthed a monster greater than Trihexa

Ajuka tries analyzing Issei — data corrupts instantly

Serafall attempts diplomacy, but her words melt into noise in Issei's presence

Sirzechs cannot meet his eyes

Azazel

Regret and admiration.

"I always knew he was something else… but I was too scared to let him be."

Michael

Weeps.

His betrayal destroyed the balance.

Heaven dims whenever Issei steps near.

Odin, Zeus, Indra, Sun Wukong

Attempt to confront him. All of them are infected in a blink — rewritten or broken.

Odin's ravens fall from the sky, black wings twitching.

Sun Wukong throws away his staff, acknowledging Issei as his better.

Vali

Falls to his knees. "You were always the real dragon, weren't you?"

Ddraig in the high class devil goes silent, afraid to speak

Kuroka, Koneko

Kuroka becomes fascinated by the virus

Koneko cries, but he simply walks by

They both feel his presence shift the very air

Sairaorg Bael

Tries to challenge Issei

One punch, and his body disintegrates into fractal particles

Issei rebuilds him better, just to see if he can

Sairaorg is reborn a Void Knight

Tannin

Roars in awe

"He has surpassed dragons, gods, and demons. He is the new apex."

Great Red & Ophis

Great Red tries to fight

Issei infects the Dimensional Gap itself

Ophis tilts her head. "You are Void. I… like you."

Trihexa

Roars. Charges.

Issei devours it in seconds, absorbing its essence back into the virus

"I am the son of your blood. And your better."

Rizevim, Kokabiel, Cao Cao, and villains

They flee in terror. Rizevim dies begging for mercy

Cao Cao throws his spear and dies without touching him

---

IX. Conclusion: The Void Ascends

Issei doesn't want revenge.

He doesn't want apologies.

He doesn't care.

He simply becomes.

A being of shadow, infection, and evolution.

A new god — or something beyond one.

The Voidborn is coming.

And the world will be rewritten.
