@anon you've been shooting speculations left and right. Ophis came into being at some point in the Dimensional Gap, it was never stated it was before the creation of the universe. Like B214 said Great Red is a True Dragon and Ophis is a Dragon God. The evil pieces/brave saints does nothing to change a person's soul. Rias had NO IDEA Issei was alive until Ajuka told her in volume 12 that he could be alive, she didn't "feel" him, there's no psychic connection between a king and their peerage.
