The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"We... Failed," Dr'ul stared up at the man's smiling face as his fist slowly descended towards her face. "I should have listened," She turned her head and avoided the brunt of the blow but gasped when his hand retracted and descended even faster slamming into the side of her head and bending her around his torso as he grinned amidst laughing.

"I should have listened to Renia and killed him when I had the chance rather than try and preserve this universe, I made a mistake!!" She shook under the weight of the fist on her head, fighting to right herself whilst also raising and striking at his head.

But with a wave of his hand, she was blown off to the side hitting the surface of their current reality crashing into it and bouncing to her feet again.

"This is bad"

"This is really bad!"

"Sol is nowhere near us, he is facing the strongest of the armada, but this man... he is far superior to that man, currently, even if I sacrificed my siblings and went for the kill, I fear his strength is beyond me, especially after..." She summoned one sword in her left hand and flashed her right hand restoring it after breaking it against the barrier.

"I do not have the necessary energy to access that level of power either way!"

"This win belongs to me," the man caught S'mael who tried attacking from behind and started breathing out mass amounts of raw mana.

"He accumulated mana even though he had none a moment ago- what did he eat?" Adonai asked striking the back of his knee and his neck with his staff and then tearing S'mael's arm off and pulling him away.

"It felt like he swallowed a living being, folded and compressed into a small entity, it felt like he ate a god." Renia cradled her head again and slumped forward but Dr'ul dragged her out of the way just before the warrior landed after them and leapt in their direction.

"Get a hold of yourself, Renia, you can't undo what you did so deal with it and move on!" She flung the goddess of chaos out of the way and shielded herself with her hair losing almost half of it when he grabbed it and she had to chop it off to evade his other hand.

"My own kin!"

"I understand now, the creation of those great vessels, the creation of their self-repairing armour, the PowerPoint drug, that thing he just swallowed they are all the same," Adonai helped S'mael to his feet as all four of them stood facing him.

"They use Vatui and Godslayer bodies as the main resource for their technology which is then used to hunt us down, the war, for whatever reason it started has indeed ended, what remains of the war is scavenging through the collective for more resources, we are a precious commodity to them..." He closed one eye and gnashed his teeth hatefully at the man.

"I have fostered souls in my care, I understand the essence of life better than anyone else, this atrocity calling itself the Emporium is wiping our kind out for the sake of greed and gain under the illusion of warfare, they are nothing but murderers drunk on power!" Adonai roared in outrage; he who knew no corruption and was pure beyond even the gods of purity had found himself and his siblings a product in demand for a corrupt and greedy empire.

"I will not have it!"

"Dr'ul, how much have you lost already?" S'mael looked at her; her glow after losing her hair had almost left her at her base appearance again.

"If you want to know... I am still capable of destroying everything here, but... It is not enough anymore," Dr'ul answered with a frown holding her hand forward and looking at a black crack across her forearm.

"I need to revise my entire existence and find a new way to fight, using my power this recklessly has led to consequences I should have expected, to think he would target my body rather than try going for the kill, I am at half of what I started with," She admitted bitterly, "Brothers and sister if we do not stand our ground and fight with everything we have, this Emporium bastard will certainly kill us all.

"Then, let us band together like never before, let us destroy this bastard!" Adonai passionately snarled, slamming his tail against the surface beneath his feet and pushing his mana to the highest it had ever been, overexerting himself into a second transformation as spikes grew from his back, sharp dorsals and menacing scales of black and gold.

"I feel useless here, seeing others put their lives on the line like this and being unable to do a thing to help, what was the point of me becoming a demigod if I can't even do that much?" Dina sat with her fists balled in her skirt and her teeth gritted tightly, staring at the system window showing her the fight between the four Arkadian gods and the new invader.

His right eye had changed from black to crimson and similarly, half of his hair had changed from purple to white, Dr'ul and the others were mostly on the defensive trying their hardest to survive against the monstrosity he had become after eating the white object.

"He became half Vatui after consuming that white pill, I fear your assistance would only serve to hinder their fight and likely get them killed," Alpha answered Dina's rhetorical question seriously, and the mage huffed and stared at her, annoyed.

"Vatui?"

"Correct," Alpha looked around at Arla. "According to the data we have thanks to Jenifer, that man's appearance is a match to the average Vatui, Lady Ikaris is an exemption as you must have all realised by now since by the calculations of the defeated invaders Dr'ul and the others are also Celestials of the royal Vatui order and abnormally powerful at that."

"They would shit themselves if they knew about Ikaris then." Usami wiped a trickle of sweat from her forehead and scoffed. "They'd literally shit themselves if they knew Ikaris and Sol's true power.

"It would cause endless problems," Ikaris answered her comment without breaking eye contact with the monitor, she was invested in the fight since the death of any of the four would lead to the defeat of the other three, they were fighting as desperately as Sol used to, every swing of their fists and weapons were over calculated and nigh perfect, and their formation was unbreakable, as they matched him beat for beat, stride for stride keeping up with his singular self as a whole of four.

"Milady, you should lie down." Sara placed her hand on Ikaris's hand and shoulder with an expression full of concern. "Please, you are minutes away from-"

"I know, Sara," Ikaris nodded and gave the maid an assuring smile. "I am well aware of what is happening within my own body, there is no need to panic, I

"Milady, you should listen to Sara," Alpha turned to her as well. "You have suffered minor contractions for the last few hours and although they are not painful we do not know what will happen once the child is-"

"Do you expect me to not even watch?" Ikaris stared at her with her eyes narrowed and her fists balled. "Look at them, at their struggle; ever since finding out they are my own flesh I have endlessly worried about them, they are all my younger siblings are they not, am I supposed to casually breeze over the fact that they are fighting for their lives against an enemy I could easily kill?"

"Ikaris, you're in a weakened state right now," Dina shook her head in objection. "You couldn't even fight Arla because of the amount of power you have diverted to the baby, what could you do when you're that weak?"

"I know, I mean, if I was not about to give birth, obviously!" Ikaris snapped heatedly wincing when she tried to abruptly stand. "I could at least lend my power-"

"Cool your tits there momma." Usami quickly grabbed her shoulders and kept her pressed to the bed.

"Don't even think about it, you're tough, we know that, you're strong, we're aware, but even if I can't I'm still gonna use all my power to keep you here, you're about to have a fucking baby!" She gently dropped her knuckle in Ikaris's head leaving the space silent when Ikaris winced and began growling.

"I-I- Ikaris, don't overreact she didn't mean to-"

"I'm fine, Dina." Ikaris huffed and looked up at Usami who hadn't even budged or shown any sign of fear after striking her, knowing who she was and her temper. "Not even Sol dares to strike me-"

"I don't care, I'm making a point!" Usami pointed at herself.

"Aside from my dear brother and baby girl, I'm the weakest in here, you don't even have the strength or reflex to handle a punch from me, Ikaris, you don't have any power to spare if Sol hadn't returned Atla to you, you'd be in really bad shape right now," She declared and then rested her hand on Ikaris's head when she saw tears in the corners of her eyes.

"H-hey, I didn't hit you hard enough for you to start crying, did I?"

"No, there is something building inside of me...!" Ikaris held her hands together and cast a barrier around herself and on instinct Dina grabbed Usami Uriyu and Gia and retreated several steps while Alpha covered Sara and Arla in a prism barrier.

"What's going on!?" Usami snapped at Dina watching pink mana surround them in several dozen layers.

"Ikaris is-"

*Boom*

Dina's words were cut off when the entire facility evaporated in an explosion that left them all speechless seeing Dina grind her teeth and exert herself, reinforcing her barrier repeatedly while Alpha sent Sara and Arla inside of it for protection and disappeared when her prism shattered.

The explosion travelled endlessly vertically and horizontally, and it was only when Ikaris passed out that the raging divine mana stopped moving.

"Hold on to me, Uriyu," Usami picked up Gia and allowed her brother to piggyback onto her as the surface of the barrier beneath them vanished revealing a giant crater left in the wake of the explosion.

Like a phantom, Dina and Arla vanished leaving the others to descend.

"Ikaris!"
