The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"I feel... incredible," Arla mused taking deep breaths with slow steps and watching the ground beneath her feet flee from her.

Across the vastness, Ikaris stopped and stared at the skies when lanes of clouds began racing away from them, Sol paused and raised his hand blocking the sun above him and staring into the void in her direction, the Arkadian gods all took reverend breaths as Arla's mana continued to rise until she began feeling the full brunt of her own power.

"She stacked holocaust until it evolved with the many other dangerous magic she had kept to herself," Alpha stared at Arla's back with a somewhat troubled smile. "And she calls it, [Extinction].

[You have the chance to evolve directly into a named god, will you accept this title?]

"I'll have to decline, Alpha," Arla stood before the cowering men with a small white phenomena in her grasp like a fairy light.

"This is far from enough to satisfy my ego; when Master became a demigod the heavens trembled and when he became Godslayer the very universe bowed to him, I want a similar evolution; I want to be remembered for eternities after I am gone for that moment, achieving it here where there are no witnesses does me no service," Arla answered, leaning her hand and releasing the slow projectile orb of glowing mana with a flick of her finger.

"I want my Masters to bear witness to the moment I become a divine with their eyes, not with their senses, I want them to be overwhelmed and shocked in the flesh; not from a distance, when I finally step into godhood, I will make the very fates tremble.

"Arla watched the orb touch the man's forehead and then snapped to her senses, spinning and grabbing Dina after appearing at her side when the man and his friend vanished into strands of evaporating flesh.

"Too close?"

"Far too close!" The elf responded in a panic, clasping her fist again and disappearing with Dina before the entire area turned white, at first it was just light; a bright light that outshined the stars, but then the ground began trembling and that light quickly began taking form behind them, Arla had gone so far from their original destination that she couldn't identify where they were anymore, and yet when that attack of hers finally came to material realisation, it seemed to be visible from every angle and chasing them down

For some, it looked like a faraway dome reaching into the skies, but for others like Ikaris and Cecelia, it was a great white hell several times the size of a star and with so much potent mana not even Cevelia was sure of avoiding serious wounds if she ventured inside of such violent and resentful magic.

"The second stage is about to take effect," Alpha sat before the explosion drinking daintily from a teacup. "Magnificent, Arla, truly worthy of your title as devout lover to the Godslayer, be proud of your achievement and pray you need never use such terrifying power again, considering how little mana such a frightening spell consumes."

"Hm," Ikaris blocked several incoming attacks with her head turned in Arla and Dina's direction, ready to move at a moment's notice, but she went back to her fight when Dr'ul came from out of nowhere and caught them both in a hug disappearing through sheer speed and appearing so far from the dome of white light that it once again resembled a small mountain in her perception.

"Your Excellency!" Arla stumbled and came to a screeching halt when the goddess of war released her and a frightened Dina to the ground, but in answering, Dr'ul held her head and turned her in the direction of her magic in the distance.

"Pay close attention, Arla, you have entirely stepped within our realm with this one act of destruction, nay, you have kicked the doors open by force!" Dr'ul stared as well as the dome suddenly vanished, five seconds, ten, nothing seemed to be happening but then out of the blue another eruption of white appeared, many times greater than the last; it arose from the ground like a fireball, shooting off hundreds of thousands of tails of white fire into the sky as it arose and spread distorting the air and warping the space around itself.

"What is-"

"Here it comes..." Dina stared intently, fortifying her body with a thin layer of Mana as she sensed the displacement of the ground beneath her. "Arla, you're amazing...

the best!" Dina exclaimed as the three of them witnessed the ground before them liquify in reaction to the utter annihilation of the terrain as giant cracks miles wide appeared row after row in hundreds of shockwaves in every direction.

"Let's take a look!" Dr'ul cackled, excitedly grabbing both of them by the backs of their armours and flying up into the air as she continued laughing.

It was only after taking to the skies that Arla understood the weight of a power meant to extinct; it was only when she could see no end to a gaping hole that she understood the power she had created in a moment of inspiration. "What utter madness coming from a creature who has yet to even evolve!

This is pure unbridled chaos and destruction, Arla Amastacia!" The goddess continued to laugh while Dina and Arla stared, realising that they were unable to see the opposite side of the hole, and they could not see the bottom of it either.

"This..." Dina mused, activating her flight chants mentally and escaping Dr'ul's clutches as she ascended even higher and stared. "This magic is even more dangerous than Ikaris's [incineration maximum]!" She exclaimed in horror. "It took out an area compatible to three earth suns!"

"Wonderful!" Dr'ul continued laughing, looking at Arla who was too stunned to speak. "What is the name of this abominate power?" She asked. Chapter Your:

[Extinction]

"Extinction..." The goddess of war mused with a nod smiling from ear to ear. "Arla, you are firmly upon my radar after this feat of strength, I wish for a rematch after this is all over and done!" Dr'ul released her and watched her bob several times in the air before stabilising.

"I want to see what happens when you push that level of power to the extremes you did with your [Collapsing Star] which destroyed the entire surface of Arkadia's moon."

Dr'ul seemed distracted but vanished from their sights and reappeared at Dina's side swatting away the fist of a sneaky attack and then grabbing the man by his head and crushing it with a chuckle.

"There are still quite a few lingering Vice-Captains, here and there," Dina slowly turned revealing that she had sensed and had been ready to counter the man's attack as well. "Arla, can you still fight?" Dina asked, staring at the elf, who seemed to be in a daze even now.

"I am ready to tackle anything, Dina."

"Then, let's finish what we started and set a course for the rest who are trying to get away," Dina suggested while Dr'ul nodded to them both and vanished again to rejoin the fight she had left her brothers and sister in to witness the shattering power Arla had manifested from enlightenment in the midst of a battle.

"I ...I think I can do it again," Arla looked at Dina.

"Really, I'd imagine it took a lot out of you, but... after Alpha's explanation, I get it now; Unknown Tier attacks don't consume nearly as much mana as they should," Dina nodded, flying while Arla caught up and listened, both leaving in a direction opposite of the hole.

"Meaning?" The elf tilted her head as she observed her mana for abnormalities.

"Unknown Tier magic is an anomaly achieved in the midst of a fight, you gain a boost of focus, a boost of mana, and your overall stats are increased by a hundred percent after your first cast, the way she made it sound, that percent falls after each successful cast but the first one is definitely a hundred percent onrease in all your base stats; in a nutshell, your mind, your body, your mana; everything about you for the next few minutes to an hour is operating under a drastic increase across the board, everything you do will have twice the effect, twice the destruction, twice the potency, but the first success depends entirely on luck and enlightenment."

"So... Aside from [Extinction], every other magic I possess has had a potential increase of 100%..." Arla mused.

"Yes, the more you use it the lower the percentage drops, but every successful casting of Extinction resets the timer, you have the ability to achieve a thousand percent of your original power safely without causing your body any harm; after that threshold is breached you will have no choice but to evolve to continue using that level of power, or you face the heavens reacting with hostility.

"I've never heard of that before, did something like that happen to Master?" Dina asked.

"Indeed it did, Master Vestic's Heavenly Constraint came in the form of Sitri, it puzzled me greatly until I witnessed Arla's power with my own self; how did that demon gain such power so scarily fast?" Alpha looked at Arla while the three of them travelled.

"It was because of him; his very presence was the trigger, Sitri was the only being in a position where she would destroy him without a just cause, so the heavens chose her-"

"Is that even possible?"

"The will of the heavens knows no allies," Alpha responded to Dina's doubt.

"Sitri was granted power by fate."
