==Bio==
Vali Lucifer is the leader of the Khaos Brigade's Vali Team. He is a descendant of the original Lucifer and the possessor of the Vanishing Dragon, Albion; wielding the Divine Dividing Sacred Gear. As such, he is the direct rival of Issei Hyoudou and Ddraig.
Vali was abandoned by his parents who considered him a monster and was left wandering around. It was during that time that Azazel found the boy and took him into the Underworld, where he raised and trained him.
Vali first appeared in volume 3 to defeat Kokabiel under Azazel's orders.
He reappears in volume 4 during the peace treaty between the Three Factions before betraying Azazel and joining the Khaos Brigade. He then fought against Issei. While initially underestimating Issei due to his background, Vali became interested in Issei after Issei manages to overwhelm him despite the fact he was not using his real strength. The battle, however, was ended abruptly by the sudden appearance of Bikou who asked Vali to retreat.

During the interrupted conference between the Three Factions, he stated that with his demonic power inherited from the original Lucifer and the power of Albion through Divine Dividing he could be one of the strongest beings there is. This was somewhat proven when Azazel declared him as The Strongest White Dragon Emperor of all known history, past, present and future due to his unique heritage. His high demonic power helped him in controlling his Juggernaut Drive as he used it as an alternate source of energy instead of his life before gaining his Empireo Juggernaut Overdrive. In fact, the amount of Vali's demonic power is so large that he was able to stay alive and survive even after getting hit by Samael's curse.
*Magic Talent: Vali has also shown to be extremely talented in using magic, capable of learning Norse Magic in a very short period of time and was able to immediately use it during his fight with Loki. He was also able to create a sword through the use of magic to kill Rizevim due to the latter's Sacred Gear Canceller ability.

**Preternatural Strength : Vali is extremely strong as both a devil and a human. In his first appearance, Vali was already able to effortlessly destroy an energy shield made by Sitri and her peerage, and then in his fight against Kokabiel, he easily ripped the latter's wings off as well as knock him out in one blow after having halved his power only once and despite the latter possessing Satan Class Devil level strength. This strength was demonstrated again during his fight against Issei where he easily overpowered the latter who was wearing his Scale Mail armour even when he was not using his true power. His strength further improve thanks to the training he received from the first generation Sun Wukong, allowing him to fight and defeat foes whose possess power superior to Satan Class Devil. Issei also stated that Vali is physically very powerful, which further prove how strong Vali is as Issei himself has fought against the like of Sairaorg Bael.

Also, in multiple other occasions, he has shown himself to be ale to move faster than the naked eyes can react
***Preternatural Reflexes : In order to cope with the speed of light his body is always moving at, Vali has developed a nearly instantaneous reflexes as well as accelerated perception. This allow him to easily change the path he is moving while flying at light speed in BxB state, react to people who possess god speed such as Kiba, Issei Hyoudou, etc. He has also shown himself to be able to react to energy attacks which move at the speed of light.
**Preternatural Durability : Vali possesses incredible durability both in his base form and BxB state, enough for him to tank multiple blows from Rizevim Lucifer, who is considered to be a Super Devil, without the use of his armours. He was also able to shrug off hits from Issei in his BxB armour and survive Samuel's curse ( which can affect even the Dragon God ).

***Preternatural Stamina: Vali possesses a great amount of stamina, being capable of maintaining his Balance Breaker for at least one month.
**Semi-Immortality : As he is half devil, Vali has a long life span and possess the ability to change his own appearance he reaches a certain age. He once told Issei that he and Issei will live for thousands upon thousands of years, waiting for the return of Azazel.
**Omnilingualism : All Devils, including Issei possess an ability called "Language", where people listening to them will hear it in the language they are most familiar with; and vice versa.

===Abilities===
*Master Hand to Hand Combatant: Trained by Azazel, Vali is a extremely proficient combatant, he is able to easily defeat Kokabiel, a Fallen Angel Cadre without using his full strength. In Volume 4, he easily overwhelm Issei in his incomplete Balance Breaker Armour even with the latter using Ascalon. After training with Sun Wukong, Vali further improves his combat skills, being able to beat Aži Dahāka on his own, an enemy Vali previously fought against with his entire team and fail to defeat.

These wings works in the opposite way of Issei's Boosted Gear, in which it has the ability to Divide the opponent's power in half after coming into physical contact with them every 10 seconds, the opponent's drained power is then added to himself and when he reaches his maximum limit, the excess power is then released through his wings. Later on, Vali gains the ability to Reflect, which allows him to redirect incoming attacks as well as being able to use Half Dimension, a power which was formerly only available in his Balance Breaker state, in his base form.

</gallery> Vali's strength is increased to incredible level in this form. When he first appears in Kuoh Academy in his Scale Mail armour, he was already powerful enough to effortlessly rip Kokabiel's wings off and knock him out in one blow while not using his full power ( The same Kokabiel easily dominated Rias's peerage along with Xenovia and Irina ). This strength was shown in multiple other accasions such as in his fight against Issei, where he easily overwhelmed the latter in melee combat while holding back and in various of his other battles .
**Argumented Speed : Vali possesses immense speed in this state, capable of even moving so fast that even supernatural beings with nearly instantaneous reflexes like Kokabiel, Kiba, Issei and various other opponents can not react. As a matter of fact, in BxB, his speed is creased is increased to the point where it is stated by Kiba that it would not be a stress to call it speed of light. However, despite him being overwhelmingly fast, it is not impossible to outspeed or react to him as there have been multiple occasions when Vali's speed were surppassed such as in his fight against Issei, where he enraged Issei to the point the latter gain power that Vali himself stated to have even surpass his own, or in his fight against Crom Cruach and Rizevim Livan Lucifer.

He can also use magics in conjunction with demonic power to further increase the efficiency of his attacks.
**Armour Regeneration : While very durable in the armour, it sits isn't impossible to hurt Vali. This was proven in many of his fights where his opponents, such as Issei, Crom Cruach, Fenrir, easily destroyed his entire armour. However, with the help of Albiom, Vali can instantly repair all the damages done to his armour, no matter what part it is or even if the entire armour is destroyed.
*Juggernaut Drive: A form unique to the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing. The Juggernaut Drive temporarily removes the seal placed on the Heavenly Dragons granting the user immense power. The Juggernaut Drive, however, causes the user to lose sanity while having their lives devoured by the power. However, Vali is able to avoid this using his large amount of demonic powers as an alternative source of power instead of his lifespan; however, if used for extended periods of time, it will eventually cause him to go berserk. Even after deactivation, Vali suffered from immense exhaustion.

*Empireo Juggernaut Overdrive : A new enhanced form that surpasses Juggernaut Drive. Vali obtained it after he successfully sealed all of the past possessors' consciousness. In this form, the color of his armor changes to silver. Like Issei's Cardinal Crimson Promotion, it does not consume his lifespan.
**Extreme Strength : Vali's strength is increased beyond the level when he is using Juggernaut, allowing him to defeat Satan Class Devil with almost zero effort.

*Diabolos Dragon Lucifer : Vali's DxD form. This form is the combination of the White Dragon Emperor's power and the Lucifer power that Vali possesses as well as Ophis' blessing. Similarly to the Diabolos Dragon God Issei possesses, the armor is a mix of silvery-white and jet-black, and also possesses the same organic characteristic. Vali gains twelve wings of Lucifer in this form, which can be ejected and turned into wyverns, similarly to the Dividing Wyvern Faeries that Issei is able to create. The power that Diabolos Dragon Lucifer possesses was enough to completely destroy a 5,000 meter-tall mountain. Vali can only sustain this form for a short period of time.
**Immeasurable Strength : Vali's strength is enhanced to an incalculable level in this state, to the point that even just by flapping his twelve wings of Lucifer, Vali could cause all of the snow in the surrounding area to melt instantaneously, and even the rock below became exposed. In his fight against Azi Dhaka, he was able to destroy mountains just from the sheer force of his aura and injured Azi Dhaka, a heavenly dragon class opponent, with nothing but just his melee strikes.
**Immeasurable Speed : Vali is very fast, capable of keeping up with Azi Dhaka even when the latter is using space-time and teleportation magic.
**Nigh-Invunarability : Like's Issei's DxD God armour, Vali armour is made of the same organic substance when he is in Juggernaut Drive and this grants him immense durability, to the point where he can tank attacks from Azi Dahaka head on.
**Immeasurable Demonic & Magical Power : Vali possesses seemingly limitless amount if demonic power in this form. He was able to effortlessly destroy mountaintops and vaporise a 5000 meters tall mountain with nothing but just a a jolt of demonic energy.
***Satan Compression Divider: Vali builds up his power and releases an ultimate blast of silvery-white and black demonic radiance that halves anything within its range until it vanishes from existence. Azi Dahaka notes that this is not an ability or a technique, but a simple release of light.
***Satan Lucifer Smasher: Vali's own enhanced version of Longinus Smasher. Similarly to the Longinus Smasher, a cannon muzzle appears from the chest cavity which then fires a bombardment of silvery-white and black aura
**Dividing Wyvern Fairies: Is this form, Vali can detach his wings which then form into small white Wyverns that can also use Divide and Reflect, as well as using Half Dimension. The Wyverns also able to change into cannons that fires out a powerful shot of Lucifer’s aura. The Wyverns are also able to use Albion's hidden technique Reduce, an ability that releases a deadly venom which could kill anyone as it cuts down not only their bodies but also their souls, however, this is ineffective towards Ophis, Great Red and Ddraig.
**Armour Regeneration :Vali can regenerate his armour almost instantly in this form. However, there is still a limit as he wasn't able to repair the damages done to his armour immediately in his battle with Azi Dahaka.
**Flight : Vali can fly using the 12 wings of Lucifer which appear behind his back.
===Crimson Gourd===
One of the Five Treasured Tools of Taishang Laojun (The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord). It has the ability to suck in and imprisoned those who responds when they have their name called out. Vali borrowed it from the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King, so he can use it as a punishment for Bikou and Kuroka where they can reflect on their mistakes.
