The whole theory behind why Ophis's power is called Infinity if because she is known as the Ouroboros Dragon, the beast that consumes its own tail, the endless loop. Whether the power is actually infinite or not is up for debate. What it is more likely is that there is a vast amount of power that "seems" endless. In other words, if something is large enough, it might as well be bottomless. Ophis's current about is only about 25% something percent of what it used to be, and she is still considered stronger than a Heavenly Dragon. This sort of implies that at 100%, she very well might be powerful than any one God.

As to if the power is impossible to run out or absorb, that seems unlikely, because it raises the question as to how Ophis's power could be stolen, if it truly is infinite, it shouldn't matter whether a protion of it is stolen or not. It would just continue. In fact, if it can't be absorbed, it shouldn't have been able to be stolen in the first place.

I agree with the theory it is about the quality of the energy, not the quantity, but I don't think its that absolute.

Issei also has a limit that is below what Ophis could do for him. Hence why she needed to nerf his DxD G form. Issei's body isn't strong enough yet to handle Ophis's "Infinity" power without limit, even with as weak as Ophis is right now.

The real question is how does Great Red fit into this. Presumably his energy and power are at a completely different level than Ophis's, even at 100%. Hence why she needed help to push him out of the Dimensional Gap, and why she founded the Khaos Brigade.

The problem is the power of "Dreams" seems like it is a non-existent concept. Such as when Issei's life force was looked at, it fluctuates between "nothing" because of Great Red's "Dreams", and "endless" because of Ophis's "Infinity". So that implies like are like two-sides to the same coin, polar opposites. Yet, it is only because of Great Red's flesh that Issei could handle the Infinity to begin with, and why Ophis feels he might be able to handle it even better in the future.

I'm curious what is the nature of Great Red's powers. It's something I feel needs to be done more indepth, because it could really showcase what Issei might be able of in the future.
