The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Mana?" Zara stared at her sister, confused. "Is it some kind of weapon?"

"Not upon conception," Sol responded, knowing that Cecelia didn't know enough to even begin explaining.

"In a nutshell, mana is everything you can see and perceive, and everything you can't, the moon we reside on, the empty void; that star which has recently collapsed, everything the light and dark touches exists within the perception and influence of mana, it is a force more powerful than the soul, yet it has no mind to control itself and so can be made into whatever the wielder wishes it to be, mana is the power of creation itself."

"According to Her Majesty, Mana is of the fifth dimension; an unrecognisable and unfathomable plain where none she knows of but herself has ever witnessed," Cecelia added.

"Then how does she know of it, how did she discover something of the fifth dimension?"

"She doesn't know either, she simply came into contact with it... Ikaris has undergone many evolutions since her disappearance," Sol accepted a treat from Alpha and bit into it. "The most drastic is her evolution from Vatui into a divine; in my collective, she holds the title of Queen of all gods.

My guess is that she became a divine after discovering mana and since then has only grown stronger while using it, but recently, she has undergone another great evolution." Sol stared at her stats while he spoke.

"She became a god?" Zara stared in shock. "Aren't divine beings an entirely different existence?"

"You underestimate your own selves," Sol looked over his shoulder.

"Vatui and Godslayers have unique traits that have helped them evolve since their conception I don't think what you currently are is anything close to what your ancestors were, for starters, your title as Vatui and Godslayers are subtexts under an ancient Celestial species which branched off into many smaller species before the time of the grand collective before the rule of Vatui and Godslayers, before the war.

"In the same way you can mimic the cells of other living beings and disguise yourselves perfectly as other species as a Celestial being;  you have the ability to evolve from Vatui altogether, in her case She became a goddess with the help of mana while subconsciously suppressing all her Vatui traits, and more recently, her mana has started to resemble mine as she pushes for an even higher evolution."

"I have never heard of our species being anything close to ancient Celestials before, how did you come by this information if you only recently became Godslayer?" Cecelia furrowed her brows, and Sol tapped his head.

"The one before me left something of a library of information, you can call it the print of his soul, on the same day I became Godslayer I gained access to The Grey, or as you probably know it; The Beginning, what I discovered when I accessed this information is that a Godslayer is only a title, I have long surpassed the power of a Godslayer.

"This is confusing, are you saying that Godslayers are..."

"The truth is in the title, Cecelia," Sol started paying attention to Ikaris again. "Godslayer; one capable of killing divine beings and I have been killing gods long before I was one, to that end though I believe the only reason I made this leap in evolution is because Ikaris introduced my soul to mana."

"What you think of as a species is probably the result of one person's ancestry, I wasn't born a Godslayer, I evolved into one after another died and his soul reincarnated through me, I still had to earn that title," He bit into his pastry treat again.

"I was once human, and from human I evolved into a demigod and then from a demigod I evolved into a pure Divine, it was only after True Divinity that I was able to evolve into Godslayer," He explained.

"I think there's more, but I have no idea if I'll be able to reach that height in my lifetime."

"Similarly to myself who was born human, Ikaris was born Vatui, but hers is a far superior race to mine, she didn't need to become a demigod because of her Vatui construct; when she discovered mana she was able to evolve directly into a goddess; the most powerful of any divine, and now she is on the cusp of a greater evolution once more."

"Are you saying her majesty will become Godslayer?" Zara asked.

"No."

"But you said-"

"Whatever Ikaris becomes in the future will be the height I'm unable to grasp, she is the progenitor of mana, the first and most affluent wielder of the sacred source, she has a far greater understanding of it, once she tries to truly understand it her potential will force explosive growth within her, I can only dream of such a miracle happening within me," Sol looked at Alpha who had a scrunched up nose.

"You disagree, Alpha?"

"I do, master,"

"Ikaris..."

"The full title is Ikaris Vestic," She replied, slowly approaching the man who opposed her by himself while the outpost behind him was in a panic at the sudden eruption of the star in their system.

"Of course, I heard that you were the wife of Sol Vestic; the scourge of the Emporium, but to have you here before my eyes admitting to being his wife with your own mouth fills my heart with dread, it makes my bones shake."

General Percival Aile of the 1789th Outpost; He had a large scar across one side of his head where no hair grew, while the other side had mid-length hair which lazily floated in the weightless void around them white from Vatui cell implants, he had eyes as black as coal from Godslayer and Vatui infusions and pale skin to accentuate his many augmentations.

The rest of his outpost was busy trying to find means of evacuation, so he had personally come after their sensors scouted thousands of Vatui signatures on the farthest moon; thinking it was an attack the general had rushed to greet the enemies only to meet the one person he expected the least.

"You do not seem of the mind to battle," Ikaris stared at him while her casual wear slowly morphed into sweatpants, a tank top blouse and a sweatshirt over it with a pair of sports sneakers all white to contrast her black hair and blue eyes. "I am disappointed."

"I dare not raise a finger against the great and horrible war angel of the past, we had all been warned that those above the 500th rank stood no chance of survival once met with the Godslayer, you are his spouse, I think such a warning extends to you as well," The General drew his blade and released it into the void pushing and watching it float away.

"I have fought Vatui and Godslayers before, I am scared of your power, to face the one they revered as their champion is a clear death sentence so I would rather not bother with the struggle; I only ask that you make my death a painless one," He stood at attention watching her slowly approach. "I already know what the penalty for killing your people is."

"You might be the smartest enemy I have ever faced," Ikaris rested her palm against his chest sensing hundreds of individual Vatui and Godslayer cells within him and frowning deeply as her eyes morphed from blue to a terrifying crimson. "You have my permission to die."

"Her first act of offence since her fight against the demons," Sol stared with a wide and almost sinister smile, sitting on the edge of his seat as everyone paid attention. "And she's been pissed off on top of it."

[Unknown Tier Divine Magic; Total Annihilation]

The General, the planet behind him, the exploding star and the galaxies behind that...

A great golden beam expanded from Ikaris's palm soundlessly eradicating in the shape of a sphere it covered every aspect of their field of vision from one side of reality to the next leaving the only place it didn't touch the area behind them as that entire side of sector 124779 disappeared in the same manner as Sol's attack had done to the empty universe days prior.

Without batting an eye and without fanfare, Ikaris destroyed half of the universe and everything within it, then extended her hand to the side and summoned the sword the general had tossed into the void and sheathed it.

"All those who were harvested, and all those who have been suffering under the hand of the Emporium, know that I have returned, their sins will not go unpunished, I have been enraged and I will not let go of this grudge until nothing of the Emporium remains." She spoke calmly turning to the half moon and descending towards them again.

Cecelia along with everyone else stood there with their mouths agape and their eyes wide in horror, as a comparison, Cecelia's attack which could be fired across universes could only be cast once every few days, it took up most of her energy and left her in a weakened state, so she would always target the core of the universe, the supermassive which held it and moved it, this was a whole tier above that, she understood now what Sol meant by Ikaris's power and control over mana being terrifying, even after using that much power Ikaris's power only felt like it was growing.

"Are you okay?" Sol lowered the barrier staring at her crimson eyes as she landed before him.

"Master... this anger doesn't suit me," She fell to his side and rested her forehead against his neck as he gave her head pats.

Sol huffed and snapped his fingers causing golden light to encompass the area beneath them all.

"Don't worry," He calmly responded to her. "I'm angry too, Ikaris; the anger we feel won't go away, not until they're all gone."
