After a series of twists and turns that brought chaos at sea, the story now shifts through time to the Indonesian archipelago, concluding in a city steeped in supernatural secrets in Japan: Kuoh Town.

## Part 1: The Eternal Legacy of a Princess of the Indonesian Archipelago
Before being known as one of the most feared economic rulers in the Indonesian archipelago, Anissa was originally just a spoiled princess of the Divine Dragon Kingdom of Madangkara. However, fate and Ophis's direct guidance drastically changed her. She transformed into an independent and visionary career woman with sharp business acumen by establishing her own trading company.
It's no wonder that Anissa has dominated the Indonesian economy for nearly nine centuries. Her influence spanned the globe, beginning in 980 AD when the Old Sunda Kingdom was still firmly established, and continuing until the 1590s when the reins of power shifted and the Pajajaran Kingdom was formed. Throughout this extraordinary period, her company's power and influence grew exponentially, remaining untouched by mortal rulers or power-hungry supernatural factions.
A major turning point for Anissa's import-export business came when Western explorers, particularly the Dutch, began setting foot on Indonesian soil. As a daughter of Old Sundanese descent, possessing extensive knowledge and a strong patriotic spirit, Anissa refused to allow her country to be exploited. Instead, she seized the opportunity.
Equipped with a trading network that would become known in history as the *Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie* (VOC), founded around 1594 to 1603, Anissa initiated her first trade transactions with the Dutch. Through her behind-the-scenes control of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), she ensured that all agricultural products, spices, and other natural resources from the archipelago were strategically managed. Rather than harming the people, she leveraged these vast profits to maintain the prosperity, resilience, and dignity of the kingdom she ruled.
How could a woman manage to lead a trading cartel for centuries without aging a whit? The answer lies in her immortal physique. At 840 years old, Anissa still retains the youthful appearance of a woman in her early 20s.
She achieved this immortality through the advanced knowledge she developed through the teachings of the Immortal Dragon Sect. Initially, the institution where she studied—the Dragon God College—was established solely to teach monsters, demons, and non-human creatures. However, everything changed after Ophis descended upon the Nusantara Islands, where the Goddess Shinta resided in mystical comfort.
Inspired by the peace of the land, Ophis reestablished the Immortal Dragon Sect in the Sunda Kingdom. This sect was a replica of the ancient order founded by the Mother in the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm. It was under the auspices of this sect that Anissa was forged, merging her destiny as the incarnation of Athena with the eternal magic of ancient dragons, before ultimately deciding that her next destiny lay across the ocean, in the small town of Kuoh.

That morning, the sun had just risen, and then the rooftops of Kuoh Academy. In a corner of the Gremory faction's luxurious residence, Hyoudou Issei was getting ready for school. His steps were a little heavy, but his body radiated a different warmth than usual.
This was all due to the events of the previous night. Rias Gremory, heir to the throne of a great demon clan and commander of the region, had just used a special ritual involving the fusion of her bodies to transfer and stabilize the flow of demonic power within Issei. As a newly reincarnated devil and wielding a dangerous *Sacred Gear*, Issei's human body often repels dark energy if not properly regulated.
Issei Hyoudou went to Kuoh Academy after sleeping with Rias Gremory. "How are you?" Rias asked Issei. "I don't know, but I feel like a god." "Are you right?"
"Yes, I'm fine.
While Anissa began to land her capital, assets, and vast import-export business network in Japanese ports to infiltrate Kuoh Town, the local demon faction in the town experienced an intimate yet crucial internal struggle for the past. Anissa's traces in the human world must not be erased:
True Identity: Anissa was originally a spoiled princess of the Madangkara Divine Dragon Empire, who later transformed into a successful career woman with her own trading company.
Economic Monopoly Throughout the Ages: She dominated the Indonesian archipelago's economy for nine centuries, from 980 AD when the Sunda Kingdom still existed until the 1590s when the Pajajaran Kingdom was formed.
History of Relations (VOC): With capital from the Chamber of Commerce called the VOC (established around 1594-1603), Anissa began trading with the Dutch in search of agricultural and plantation products for the prosperity of her kingdom.
Gift of Ophis: At 840 years old, Anissa still looks like a woman. in his early 20s thanks to the Power of Immortality taught by Ophis at Dragon God Academy.
Unbeknownst to the supernatural groups in Japan, Empress Anissa's massive business network in Kuoh Town is more than just a simple human import-export trade.
The Warmth of Dawn and the Unification Ritual
On the other side of the same town, the morning sun has just risen, followed by the rooftops of Kuoh Academy. In a corner of the Gremory faction's luxurious residence, Hyoudou Issei is getting ready for school. His steps feel a little heavy, but his body radiates a warmth of energy far different from usual.
This all stems from the events of the previous night, when Rias Gremory used her body to transfer demonic power to Issei. Rias, heir to the throne of a great demon clan and ruler of the region, had just used a special ritual involving merging her own body to transfer and stabilize the flow of demonic power within the young man. As a newly reincarnated devil and wielding a highly dangerous Sacred Gear, Issei's mortal body often repels dark energy if not regularly harmonized by its King.
Conversion in Light Morning
Rias Gremory stood gracefully by the bedroom window, gazing at Issei with the gentle yet suspicious air of a faction leader. Given the intensity of the ritual they had performed the night before, she needed her main pawn to be in top condition.
"How are you, Issei?" Rias asked in a calm yet authoritative voice, ensuring that last night's power transfer ritual hadn't triggered any side effects on the young man's immune system.
Issei slowly rolled his shoulders, feeling the flow of demonic magical energy now flowing in perfect harmony with his heartbeat, giving him a sense of increased strength. Although initially confused, the warmth left by last night's fusion gave him a sense of absolute security.
"I think I'm fine, President," he replied. Issei stated firmly as he adjusted the collar of his school uniform. "My power feels much more stable now than it did yesterday."
Rias nodded in satisfaction at her pawn's assurance, though deep down, her instincts as a high-class devil were starting to tremble. She could sense that the aura in Kuoh Town this morning had changed sharply. Something was happening... Issei Hyoudou had gone to Kuou Academy after sleeping with Rias. Gremory. "How did you know?" Rias asked Issei. "I don't know, but I feel like a god." "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
A very large, old, and carrying the scent of eternity that has just landed in the city, ready to weave the red thread between the destiny of the demon faction and the children of prophecy from Nusantara.
