The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Maybe he\'s expended too much power, we ought to return as soon as that abominate power subsides; it\'s just not fathomable for a being of whatever descent to be able to do something like that on command," Viktor stared, ignoring her question in favour of what seemed like the only plan he could conjure.

"Let me know when the path is safe, Cecelia." The general turned to her but where his captain usually stood was empty, it was only then when he huffed in shock that he saw his breath floating before him and realised that the inside of the ship was almost as cold as dead space.

"Cecelia...?" He looked to the floor after hearing her exhale again and found her clutching her chest and crying with an unrecognisable expression, her tears came out silver but instead of floating like they usually did which he found fascination in; her tears fell heavily, freezing on her cheeks and leaving sharp icicles on the ground when she wiped the frozen lanes of tears away.

"What\'s gotten into you?" Viktor stared at her in disbelief.

"Sir..." Sal spoke up when she saw his jaw clench in irritation as he started reaching for her. "She is showing extreme levels of stress, I think, she may be in shock!"

"Shock?" Viktor paused and stared at the analyst.

"We\'ll die, he\'ll kill me, he\'ll kill all of us, he is Ikaris\'s Godslayer, we threatened the most terrifying beings in existence-"

"Snap out of it!" Viktor swung his fist backwards, catching Cecelia\'s jaw with his knuckles and breaking her skin as she was sent flying across the cockpit, but even as the Captain collided with the wall and tore a hole through it, the crew only found her cradling her head and shaking when they checked on her. Fuck, get her out of here, she\'s useless to me like that."

"Take over for me," Sal looked at her second and ran off to Cecelia before anyone else could. "Hey-"

"It\'s the end of the Emporium, I\'m gonna die here!"

"Come on," Sal held her and raised her to her feet. "Walk with me."

"Let me know her condition as soon as possible," Viktor rubbed his forehead and looked out the screen again. "It\'s unfortunate that the best analyst is also the leading physician, make sure she\'s stable and then return to your post."

"Yes sir," Sal answered and gestured to one of the guards. "Carry her for me.

"Where to, ma\'am?"

"Where else?" Sal stared at him with her brows raised, glancing behind her and seeing the general staring at them again. "Idiot, she\'s the head captain, her quarters have a medical facility." Read exclusive content at mvl

"O... oh," the guard stared as he hefted Cecelia up easily, blushing when the woman rested her head against his chest and began sobbing again. "I didn\'t-"

"Go."

"Yes ma\'am."

***Inside of the SOL collective; the moment Sol unleashed his reality-ending attack.

"Something-" Ikaris ran outside and stared at the skies, she had been waiting for over an hour for Sol\'s return, but all she could see from standing under the stars were the great golden roots continuously flashing as he exerted more and more power, but then she felt a significant drain and ran out in a panic taking a single leap and ending up in a large open field several hundred miles away with, there at her side in an instant was dina, and then Arla while Sara rejoined them cradling Talia and then Dr\'ul and the others caught up once they figured out where they were.

"What the devils...?" Dr\'ul stared into the sky along with everyone else seeing the great golden streak across the cosmos rapidly retreat and disappear and the night turned to day when the root returned several times larger and brighter than before with a blinding glow, in resonance to Sol\'s awakening of the powers within himself Ikaris shook and fell to her knees, and with her Arla and Dina also did the same.

"Master\'s power," Arla mused. "I thought I had an understanding of his power, but this is simply unfathomable..."

"What is happening?" Dr\'ul stared at them.

"Close your eyes, Dr\'ul, you are Vatui by nature, god by title; close your eyes and extend your reach to the stars, tether yourself to the light and feel it," Ikaris continued staring. "Master has achieved another realm of power, I regret doubting him, I am ashamed of myself, utterly ashamed," Ikaris held her hands to the stars and closed her eyes as more tears flowed.

"He is an untouchable deity, the pinnacle of all lifeforms!"

"What is happening?" Keele asked, staring with her brows furrowed as she saw Dr\'ul, Renia, Adonai and S\'mael fall to their knees in reverence to the light which seemed to grow brighter by the second.

"We do not deserve one such as him..." S\'mael shook his head. "Master Vestic is beyond this meagre reality; he is what a god should be."

The spectacle lasted an entire hour, and upon the completion of Sol\'s mana flaring everything went dark again before the golden vines returned to normal, pulsating with rich new energy.

"It finally stopped," Usami blinked and shook her head. "I lost track of everything, it\'s almost like I couldn\'t look away from it," She admitted and Keele nodded and rubbed her eyes. "I don\'t even think I was blinking," Usami rubbed her eyes as well and looked at her daughter who was doing the same, and then at her brother who had tear stains on his cheeks.

"Is everyone okay?" Ikaris looked around at them all and everybody nodded in tandem. "Then... we should return and await his arrival," She waved her hand, and as a force of suction had possessed them, everyone instantly appeared within the lounge of the estate again, filling the room while Alpha began bringing them refreshments, which they gladly took after noticing how parched they all were.

"Is everything okay here?" Sol appeared before his seat with the most casual and comfortable flop in his chair. "Did I miss something important? The air feels different," he stated, taking his drink from Alpha and turning it to his head.

"Master... Vestic?" Sara stared at him with her brows furrowed and her eyes slightly widened, not just her but everyone had an expression of shock. "Sir?" She called at him again.

"Don\'t worry about it, Sara." Sol finished his drink and then looked at his stump of a right arm. "This isn\'t the first time I\'ve lost an arm, and it isn\'t the first time I\'ve felt like shit either," He chuckled and placed his hand over his cheek expelling the miasma with a bright flash and banishing it elsewhere.

"Love!" Ikaris rushed over to him when his head was about to fall backwards and cradled his neck with her arm. "Are you..."

"Yeah, I\'m just a little tired; it took about ten times the amount of energy from the punch to get this nasty stuff out of my body; I\'m fine, Ikaris," He smiled and looked up at her.

[Divine Heal]

Ikaris held her hands over Sol\'s arm and immediately began weaving his limb back to normal, and everyone else silently sat and watched as she did so with accuracy only she could manage.

"Truly masterful work," Adonai hummed in fascination. "First, I witnessed the ultimate feat of destruction, and now I see with my own eyes the purest form of true creation; I am at a loss of words; I am at a loss of thoughts," He mused.

"Pa..."

Ikaris stopped dead in her tracks as a flush of mana revitalised her body and almost escaped her while Sol was no different as he leaned his head and looked over at Sara who was staring at the baby in reverend shock.

"Pa..." Talia repeated, and Sol\'s eyes bulged and he appeared before the maid like a flash of lightning, and right at his side startling everyone was Ikaris who appeared much in the same manner.

"Pa," Talia reached out for Sol when he drew closer and held on to his hair smiling with her gums. "Pa, pa, pa."

"She\'s not even three months old yet..." Usami held her mouth as she saw Sol\'s hair flare up in gold and his slack mouth refocused into a wide smile.

"You brilliant little sunbeam," Ikaris smiled brightly when she saw Sol carefully usher Talia from Sara\'s grasp and hold her out as she kicked and flailed trying to reach him, chuckling when she saw his hair brightly shining. "Truly," Ikaris held her mouth as Talia\'s mana barely surfaced in resonance to Sol\'s and his remaining finger instantaneously regenerated in reaction to her power.

"You are beyond a blessing."

"What the hell...?"
