The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

[MAXIMUM-PULSAR]

[COSMIC SCREAM]

The two high-tier abilities conjoined at the last minute and formed a cone-shaped vortex of destruction catching ten out of the fourteen Vice-captains and shredding them to bits after a few seconds of going rampant.

While Arla was thrown off her feet because of using the highest grade [pulsar] she could without being a divine, Dina stood her ground, tanking the force of the two attacks fusing into one and applied even more mana to it resulting in a great explosion after the initial expulsion of two of their strongest attacks clashing.

"Haah~" The pink-haired mage leaned forward and rested her hand on her knee when after the explosion nearly threw her back as well, expanding high into the sky and causing a great cosmic cloud to rapidly spread in every direction.

The four vice-captains; two males and two females, who had managed to evade the tandem attack retreated several hundred metres and rejoined with visible fright on their faces, none of them had ever seen anything like this; they were of the impression that the people that pursued them were Vatui and a Godslayer but they'd never seen any power like that from either race before.

"I've never seen a Godslayer with pink hair, and that redhead we thought was Vatui just created a cosmic event, I know enough about Vatui to know they can't do things like that!" One of the men of the four exclaimed in shock while he scratched the mark on his forearm.

"How'd they even find us so easily?" He was the generic example of an Emporium Vice-Captain, with eyes of black, hair of dark violet and slightly pale skin; all four of them had the same kind of appearance with no variation in their uniform and no weapon to set any of them apart.

"The information we got from that useless analyst was incorrect; figures, she died and still couldn't do anything right; first, she fucks up with Cecelia and got us in this mess, and now, even after she's dead, she's still causing problems for us!" The other male spoke, shaking his head as he watched the debris that had fallen to their feet behind moving in the direction of the explosion that had nearly killed them.

"This is fine, it doesn't matter what they are; as long as Sol Vestic, Ikaris, or Cecelia don't show up we can still find a way off this endless place and get out of here.

"It's an infinity, there's no way off it," Dina spoke from behind them, and the four spun around ready to attack but witnessed in horror as the woman who was just behind them turned into a small stone and appeared from another angle with lightning crackling across her fingers.

"Don't get cocky!" One of the women lashed out snapping so hard at Dina that the mage blinked in shock, but a moment later the woman's fist was making contact with a pebble and Dina was at her side with her fingers pressed against her ribcage after Arla activated [SWAP].

"You're the one who shouldn't get cocky, Amanda Weller; a vice-captain is only a vice-captain!" Dina stared at the others who were in the process of retreating while the woman Dina had caught began screaming out in pain as [Retribution] manifested inside of her, sending terrifying bolts of divine lightning tearing up the terrain from her hands and feet while her skin darkened and her eyes bulged before popping from her head.

"What the fuck, Amanda!" The other woman snapped, turning to run, but came face to face with Arla's clasped hands pointing to her and slowly descending against her forehead with an ominous white glow coming from the spaces between her fingers.

"No!" She tried changing directions while the two men attempted to help her, but all of a sudden the men crashed into each other and the woman's back was turned to Arla when Dina assisted with [INVERSION].

[Divine tier magic;]

"Collapsing Star!" Arla roared as her crimson mana expanded across several miles of terrain in an instant just as a beam escaped her hands and crashed into the woman's back, it didn't break her skin much to Arla's dismay, but the sheer force of the attack ruptured every blood vessel in her back and snapped her neck upon impact shredding her battlesuit as it dragged her across the ground for miles before finally exploding sending cosmic flames high into the air in the form of a dome, easily reaching the size if a small moon.

"Sid..." The taller of the two remaining men sank behind a rock and held his mouth, frightened when the woman's vital signs stopped reading after she was hit with another beam from Arla, who pierced the flames of her first attack to deliver a deciding blow. "There's no way!" He thought.

"We have no data on either of these two, they're definitely not stronger than the captains and generals, but they are killing us with ease, what the fuck's happening!?"

On the cusp of a mental breakdown, his fingers sank into the flesh across his mouth tearing his skin and splitting his lips as he started hyperventilating, but he caught something in his peripheral; a small woman dressed like a household maid bent down and eating a cake casually while she stared at him. "...a maid?"

Alpha didn't respond, instead, she pointed upwards with her fork and the man followed her gesture and came face to face with Arla's fist descending, he managed to avoid the punch and even countered with a kick meant to break her skull, but she disappeared like a ghost and caught him by his hair slamming his face into the ground and then leaping away when his fellow Vice-Captain came to assist.

"I suppose two is as much as I could realistically manage," Arla frowned, thinking that anyone but her would have already made short work of these lesser vice-captains.

[Earthen Wall] was useless against them, and so was [Absolute Zero], two of her signature spells, never mind something like [Flood] or [Hurricane].

She needed too much prep time to cast [pulsar] or [Cataclysm] which only left her forbidden magic and [Collapsing Star], but now that they'd seen her use [Collapsing Star] there's no way they'd allow her to get off another one knowing what it did to their comrade.

"She hesitated!" The Vice-Captain that nearly lost his head to her a moment before leaned forward and lunged at the first opportunity he got. "Amateur!" He grinned, grabbing Arla's chest plate when she failed to react fast enough and angling his fingers in a piercing motion in an attempt to skewer her, while the other went on the defensive when he realised that Dina was missing.

"Arla grabbed his hand before he completed his thrust and raised both her heels in his chest using him as a platform and breaking free by tearing her armour apart with brute force and then vanishing from his sights when he used the chest plate as an extension and nearly gut her.

She appeared just feet away from him, sliding backwards and holding on to her torn blouse that had revealed much of her cleavage almost resulting in her breasts springing out while Dina landed from the sky next to her like a comet, taking a step forward with fury smeared across her face, her hair swaying menacingly and her eyes burning brightly, but Arla grabbed her hand after the man leapt backwards and stood upright.

"Are you okay?" Dina looked at her.

"Yes, I am unharmed," Arla nodded sucking in a breath and regaining her composure. "Sorry, I hesitated and nearly got myself in trouble, fighting demons all my life has resulted in some bad habits," Arla admitted. "Allow me to try again,"

"You sure?" Dina stared at her concerned, and the elf nodded confidently.

"Yes, your intervention has allowed me to recover more than just my composure," Arla nodded once more and began walking towards her enemies at a casual pace.

[Casting Holocaust]

[Double casting Holocaust]

[Triple casting Holocaust]

[You are casting over ten simultaneous magic spells you're at your limits]

[You are casting over twenty different magic spells in tandem with Holocaust]

[Casting ×⁵⁰]

[Casting ×¹⁰⁰]

[Unknown Tier magic achieved]

[New spell achieved]

[Divine ability achieved]

[You have taken another step to true divinity]

The system announced and continued announcing as more achievements appeared while a trickle of blood dripped from Arla's nose.

The good thing about special casts was that after the initial discovery or achievement of said cast, a recast became ten times easier each time you successfully achieved it, as was the case for something like [Pulsar] which Dina could now cast at will and without any preparation, even from her mouth and fingertips like Sol and Ikaris could.

Similarly, Arla had dozens of basic magic that she was readily affluent in and could cast without chants or preparation some without even raising a finger, so she began stacking them onto each other repeatedly until they all underwent evolution at the same time.

"Unknown Tier;" Arla mumbled to herself as the crimson mana surrounding her body became violent and her hair started glowing steadily. "Unknown Tier..."

[Stack]

"Unknown Tier?" Dina looked around at Alpha.

"Indeed, she managed to achieve an unknown Tier skill by repeatedly combining her magic and applying all the knowledge she has as a veteran warrior, you have yet to achieve an [Unknown Tier] level magic, it is simply a case of experience." Alpha replied.

"Unknown what?" The shorter of the two vice-captains who had overheard her took a step backwards when the hairs on the back of his neck started standing on end after Arla's armour repaired itself and her form became obscured because of the atmosphere bending and twisting around her.

"We should run while we still can-" the man turned to escape but his friend was already on the ground frozen in horror. "H-hey-" he tried reaching for the man but slumped when the power in his legs gave out and his body started shaking. "H-hold on... No..."

"Unknown tier is scary, I can physically feel my mana reserve and my core expanding, I feel enlightened."

"What?" Dina stared at Alpha for an explanation.

"Achieving an Unknown Tier ability for the first time, and consistently using it afterwards is a hit and miss, the grade of ability could easily rise or fall if you don't control your mana properly, it's a euphoric sensation that raises your battle prowess by 100% upon a successful cast."

"That's wild..."

[Are you ready to name your first Unknown Tier magic?] Alpha asked and Arla nodded and went into a crouch.

[Unknown Tier Apocalypse magic;]

"Extinction."
