The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

Chapter 151: End of Darkness.



Void did not answer, he pondered on Sol's words narrowing his eye and staring at him.

"Do you have the power to stand against me at all?" Sol asked after their stare-off, and once again the entity said nothing.

"Right now I'm a little stumped, if you and Origin are the same, then how do I tear that apart, I mean it sounds easy on paper, and I sure as hell have the capacity to do so, but..." Sol scratched his head in frustration.

"I haven't ever dealt with a pure consciousness before, I don't have any study in this field, you're literally the largest thing I have ever come across, A supermassive black hole so dense that it phycisclly breaks light into smaller chunks." He reached next to himself and took a fragment of light from the void, crushing it into dust and releasing it back into a frozen state.

"I can't ask Ikaris either because she's unavailable right now... speaking of, I should get out of here and check on her as soon as possible."

"Why do you keep mumbling?"

"Be silent for a second." Sol turned his back and started idly floating around as he thought.

"Her body while still mortal has enough of a capacity to withstand 60% of her 1% output, she's beyond all reason, even for me, I know she would have never lost to you if she could have fought, next to the Godslayer only the Queen can stand, I'm sure of that; now that I can sense her she poses a serious threat even to me, I don't see myself winning against her if she had access to her full power."

"The only reason Ikaris lost to you and Darkness was because she didn't have the ability to fight back to begin with, and just look, the moment she did she erased a piece of reality, leaving a permanent tear there.

"Listen to me-"

"Be quiet for a second." Sol paused and stared at him, and then continued idly floating, before snapping his fingers only to slump a few seconds later.

"I don't know, I need a second opinion, hey big-eye, how exactly do I kill you without harming origin?" Sol asked Void and the entity went in a flustered flurry and began roaring.

"I am supremacy incarnate, unkillable, you cannot kill darkness and I am darkness-"

"I can kill darkness, but that's counterproductive, I understand well that killing one will cause an imbalance." Sol floated upside down and stared at him with a carefree raise of his brow, raising his hand to his face and conjuring yellow sunglasses to complete his tropical cosplay, of a shirt, shorts and sandals.

"And you sure as hell aren't darkness, compared to the power she wields you are a spec of dust, just as Light prevails as supreme even above Ikaris who was born from him, I don't want to leave you alive, as the one who carried out the will of Darkness's you're the one who caused everything that's happened over the span of this war, leaving you would just lead to breaches in the distant future again." Sol placed the glasses over his eyes and sighed.

"I want to hurry back to Ikaris before something bad happens, this is annoying, why is he hiding in here anyway...?" He paused and looked at void again.

"What creates cognitive thought, why don't you have a body, are you only a consciousness inside this isolated space?" Sol mused and at the question Void screeched and began rushing toward him again, this time impatiently so.

"I don't have a choice then, if the first cosmic consciousness lost a mental battle against you then I have no intention of fighting the same fight, I'll just do what I've been doing since the very start," Sol raised his hand toward Void and spread his fingers creating a distortion which caused time to start moving freely around him.

"I'm going to destroy you, and start a new, in time, another Origin will eventually be born." Sol explained his plan, and as he did void began to rapidly retreat away from him, but as he grew smaller he realised that the particles of light were still passing, so he looked around, realising that the further he went the larger Sol seemed to get, and before long Sol was outside of the event horizon staring down at him.

"Am I seeing things?" Dina was seated with her legs crossed patiently staring out into space when she started seeing what she could imagine was an eye, but it was so large that it encompassed everything, and so far away that she was staring at a red vein that spanned the entire visible universe before her.

"It is all rounding up, the fight as you know it is now over." System appeared next to Dina smiling as she raised her hands, visually contracting the scenery before them until they could see Sol humming with a nod and holding a golfball-sized entity of light and dark in his grasp.

"What is he doing?" Arla asked trying to make sense of what he was holding.

"That is origin in his palm; the centre of the universe, the largest black hole in all existence across all realities." System answered, sticking her hands on her pockets and sighing.

"I wonder what he plans to- wha!" She registered actual shock for the first time when Sol raised his other hand and another entity of similar size and power appeared and then he clasped his fist on the first one shattering it with a single squeeze then placing the other one in that same hand with a look of focus with his tongue stuck from the corner of his mouth as he slightly adjusted the position.

The scenery ended when Sol suddenly vanished, and then a moment later he appeared with the cocoon housing Ikaris in his grasp next to them, causing the system to pout at how easily he had bypassed her walls and recovered the suspended goddes.

"His appearance..." Dina hesitated to approach Sol as she felt an entirely foreign entity, something alien to what she had grown used to his mana feeling like, that along with his attire and his appearance in general made her think for a moment that he was not the same person.

"Come on now, why are you giving up so easily?" Sol smiled, erasing the constraints with a simple flick of his fingers and holding Ikaris's cheek in his palm.

"Ikaris." He uttered her name, and not just her, but Gadriel and Gabriell felt a powerful tug at their souls as if they were going to be forced together, but then that tug vanished when the cracks on Ikaris's skin and across her body rapidly mended and she opened her eyes.

"With such ease... he suppressed her." Gabriel stared shocked, rembering well how the system had explained that Ikaris's destruction would have destroyed the reality they were in.

"Hi." Ikaris watched Sol place his hand on the stub of her arm and slowly with rotations of his fingers mend and regrow her missing limb. "My Lord."

"Come on now," Sol smiled as her tears slowly fell on his hand. "Why are you crying?" He asked, and she smiled even wider and leaned her head against his chest.

"You are beautiful, Sol." She sobbed, and as she did, his hair and body stopped glowing and returned to normal while she stared at the ring he proudly wore.

"Something just crossed my mind; Dr'ul." Sol hugged Ikaris and stroked her hair while Arla and Dina slowly approached. "I didn't understand what she meant at the time when she took a knee next to me, but she was never interested in fighting Sol at all was she?" He asked, and Ikaris chuckled at his question and how long it had taken him to realise.

Dr'ul knew he was the Godslayer, she was far older than the others and now that he could see and sense her again, he could clearly tell that she too was a fragment of Ikaris, she was inclined to fighting him out of instinct, and her saying she wanted to fight "the strongest" was her acknowledging his existence as her superior.

"Do you still wish to fight her?" Ikaris asked. "At this point she poses as much threat to you as an ant does to a bolt of lightning.

"I promised." Sol stood and pulled her to her feet and then gasped when Dina pressed her forehead on his back and slowly snaked her hands around his waist.

"H-hey..." Sol panicked for as second before he realised that Ikaris had not reacted and had instead taken a step back when Arla timidly approached from his side and hugged his arm on herself.

"What's wrong with you, what's going on here?"

*Ahem

The system cleared her throat and three system windows appeared before Sol's face. "You have been quite distracted so you never bothered to double-check these statuses." She informed him.

Arla's, window.

Dina's window.
