The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

After the explosion had dispersed from one pole of the moon to the next, Lars stood triumphant, roaring and laughing while his power continued to rise, breaking his limits constantly.

"I cannot find her," Alpha narrowed her eyes, searching for Ikaris within the chaos and debris that surrounded the moon.

"She's there," Dina shook her head with her eyes narrowed as well and resting her hand on her chest. "She's hurt, but she's there," She nodded with a worried smile. "That man, he's strong, I don't know if he is as strong as the likes of Orion that Master faced when it comes to destructive power, but on the scale of raw power he far surpasses anything we have ever seen before."

"We should help her then," Cecelia, without hesitance took the clip from her hair and poured her energy inside of it, turning it into the large weapon and aiming it at them while alpha upon command gave her the perfect line of fire to guarantee a sure hit.

"No," Arla stood before the Vatui woman shaking her head and spreading her arms wide in obstruction. "Do not disgrace Milady," She continued shaking her head while her sigils began humming and exuding crimson mana that fell like fog to the ground around her in a dissipating pool. "She said she would win, so she will!"

"She's losing right before my eyes!" Cecelia pressed the weapon against Arla's stomach.

"Move, I won't allow the pride you all share to kill Her Highness after finally getting her back, she is the only living member of the royal family and the one hope we have for this war to end if what the Godslayer said is anything to go by, I don't care if you are her retainer or her closest friend, if it means she lives I'll kill you right here..."

"In her absence, I'm in charge, you are prohibited from attacking the eighth General, Éloén Cecelia," Dina rested her hand on the large railgun in Cecelia's grasp and stared in her eyes, unlike Arla who was overreacting and nigh tearing up, Dina's objection was calm, her tone was warm, and her hand on the gun was barely pushing against it, yet when the woman looked into her eyes she nearly lost her will to stand.

Dina had no sense of sadness like they did, she wasn't holding some kind of urgency like she was; instead she had an expression of unbridled rage while her sigils faintly hummed. "I already told you she is hurt, but I didn't say she's unable to help herself; do you honestly think you have the power to challenge what she struggles against?"

"What do you-"

"Ikaris is and always will be in her prime, she and Master are the same; once you put them against someone overbearing and they will reveal their true selves they will overcome everything, where is your trust, did you come back to her just so you could doubt her when she has directly asked that you rely on her?" Dina asked and then looked at everyone behind Cecelia who had observed the fight in shock and mortification.

"Master has said it over and over again, the only being he considers equal to himself is Ikaris, we don't know nor do we care if there is anyone stronger than that because they have the power to overcome those who stand above them, she is the bride of the most powerful Godslayer and the mother of the most powerful being in existence, she is Ikaris Goddess of all Divines!"

"Well said, Dina," Dr'ul seemed to appear out of nowhere, standing at her side, and as she stood there Cecelia and everyone else felt their bodies stiffen at her presence, unlike the other times they had caught a glimpse of Dr'ul this time she was in a battle-ready state and her mana was so many times more powerful than Dina's ever was, it was leagues more terrifying than anything they had collectively ever encountered outside of what they were currently sensing from Ikaris and Lars along with Sol's incomparable mana.

"Who is this?" Zara asked, nudging Jenifer in her side knowing that she was the one amongst the three former Emporium warriors with the most information on who was whom, and the woman glanced at her briefly and then stared at Dr'ul's glowing crimson hair again with an expression of awe.

"Her name is Dr'ul, she is the Queen of the gods under Ikaris's command, the most powerful of her divine descendants, she is the Goddess of War, a being who feeds directly off the essence of war.

"Trust in Ikaris!" Dr'ul raised her voice in a mighty cry of passion, folding her arms and standing with her chest proudly held high. "Trust in her power, she remains unbeaten and will always be an unmovable force of nature!"

"She doesn't look Vatui at all," Zara stared at Dr'ul baffled after the waves of her mana finally subsided. "She looks like..."

"Like a god?" Jenifer asked, staring at the woman with her brow raised in amusement. "Be careful not to show too much interest in her, the goddess of war is as her name hints at and will start a fight with any creature she deems worthy of her attention."

"You finally showed yourself," Dina looked up at the much taller goddess standing at her side. "What about the others?"

"They show little concern, considering what is about to come," Dr'ul smirked with her eyes trained on Lars. "Hmph!" She huffed through her nostrils and grinned. "He is a worthy opponent for Her Highness, he has admirable strength, enviable by myself who is not his match!" She laughed.

"But for one such as the indomitable Ikaris, the Goddess of Balance, that poor dog is merely a stepping stone!" Dr'ul's grin grew dark, a bead of sweat rolled down her cheek and her hair began flaring brighter. "His fate is sealed; a wrathful Ikaris is something that not even the King of all heavens himself would dispute..."

"What are you saying?" Cecelia cancelled her weapon and stared at the area where she suspected Ikaris was supposed to be.

"I'm saying, Ikaris loves the thrill of a fight she might lose, but when the thrill is gone and she stops smiling, her true nature shows itself, the being which can end realities shows itself, you may think you know her, but I have seen her, I have witnessed the real wrath of Ikaris Vestic and I would only wish that monster upon my enemies!"

***

Lars continued laughing at his triumph over the presumably deceased Ikaris, but slowly, his smile began to wane when he felt a powerful thumping sensation race from the gaping crater and shot past him into the void; a sensation so powerful that the entire system they resided in shifted and trembled like a living breathing organism afraid of what was about to happen to it.

"You wanted me to utter your name as a sign of defeat, right?" Ikaris's voice invaded the man's head like an explosion, rummaging through his body like microwaves causing fissures to form and vessels across his arms, legs and face to bloodily explode.

"You wanted to see me beg right?" Ikaris arose from the crater, but unlike the benevolent being she had portrayed before, she emerged like a demon akin to Sol at his most wrathful.

Her hair was black again, every semblance of her Vatui cells had been completely suppressed by her Divine-Godslayer mana as she crawled over the rocks at the edge, her nails had turned black in accordance to her rage, and her very being had a silhouette of warped space around it.

The clothes she had been wearing had been reduced to rags, but slowly her divine cloth materialised over her flesh and covered her wholely again. "You wanted to see I, Ikaris, goddess of Balance fail, you wanted to trample over my pride and prove yourself a superior being, Lars," Ikaris began walking towards him.

"I have spoken your name," She bit her lips and shook her head, closing her fists slowly. "I admit it, you are more powerful than Vatui, you are a superior being to the Vatui!" She gnashed her teeth whilst she continued walking, slightly flashing her fist as her mana began melting the ground she walked upon.

"You win, Lars, you have proven yourself superior to the Vatui!" Ikaris stared at his shocked expression as he fell to his knees, coughing and panting while he bled from his every orifice. "You are superior by leagues to every Vatui being I have ever met, and likely stronger than most of them will ever be!"

"However, Her Majesty is not Just Vatui, she is Divine Vatui, she is the god of the gods who govern supreme over her species," Dr'ul grinned when she could clearly see Ikaris.

"Lars," Ikaris spoke his name once more, though this time the panicking Celestial who had fallen from his insanity after her mana began condensing stared at her with dread.

"Lars!" Ikaris stared at the skies with her arms spread wide. "I am not just Vatui, I am far beyond that meagre power which defines my people, I evolved, I am stronger, I am better, I am supreme, my pride is something the likes of you will never touch, my level is something you will never attain; something your dreams are too small to ever fathom, I am above Celestial, I am Primordial, I am...

" She paused and slowly looked down her nose at him. "I am going to fuck you up, you filthy dog."
