The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"We always knew that raising her on Earth would be an issue," Ikaris smiled, taking Talia from Sara and smiling at the child while she laughed. "Talia is the miraculous conception between a Godslayer and a Vatui God, her lifespan should be the same as ours; though I suspect she may be truly immortal, which means it will take many thousands of years for her to mature into a young woman," She explained

"Living amongst friends on Earth would sadden her; close her heart from friendship, and probably make ner numb to the death of mortals."

"A better option would be one of the three worlds in G.Gamma, preferably the largest, Dusk," Alpha suggested from the kitchen. "There are countless Vatui and Godslayer children there; millions of them, she could have a relatively normal life."

"Indeed," Ikaris concisely responded, smiling still while the small bits of debris fell out of the ceiling before them.

"Call someone over and have them fix that," Ikaris stared upwards at the tear through the roof again, proud of her daughter's handiwork. "Maybe she will be another destruction god in the distant future," She chuckled.

"A goddess of beauty most likely," Dina began laughing again, but saw Ikaris's head lean in her peripherals.

"Following the trend of those around her, some dangerous form of deity makes more sense," Alpha came walking from the kitchen pushing their breakfasts on a tray. "You are the Goddess of Balance, Milady, Lady Levina is the Goddess of Calamity, Master is the Godslayer, Lady Amastacia will undoubtedly evolve into a dangerous title the same, it is likely she will follow in your footsteps."

"My thoughts exactly," Ikaris smirked, watching Dina pout while accepting the food gracefully.

***Later that day on Dusk***

"How quickly did you say they built it?"

One male spectator in a gathered multitude on a beach asked another, staring at a large floating island high above the bay of the capital city of Dusk, it was more than five miles across, but at the same time it was so high in the extended atmosphere that it seemed like a pebble to the eyes of the ungifted, only noticeable thanks to the clear skies that day.

"I never said anyone built it,"

The woman responded.

"The princess was on the surface a few hours ago; I saw her with my bare eyes, she stood right there, she arrived from the sky with a maid holding what looked like a child, I couldn't tell, my vision distorted when I tried getting a better glance, there was another small maid on her other hand as well... and then Goddess of Calamity, you know, the one that defeated Raiden and made the speech two weeks ago?

The woman recalled.

"She is in the codex that we can access from the system..."

.

"The small maid waved her hands and it appeared-"

"Just like that?"

"Yes, just like that!"

"Are you trying to take me for a fool?"

The man asked with his brows furrowed, shaking his fists comically and staring at the structure in the sky again.

"Nothing just appears out of the blue like that!"

"But that's exactly what happened, though; we have state of the art technology here, several thousand years ahead of most of the Khalla-Nova Collective- that's why we were able to evade them for so long... we're supposed to get some kind of alert, but they showed up, and then that island did as well when the little woman raised her hands and there was not even a small alarm, nothing!" Experience tales at empire

"But I am saying that your explanation is bullshit~!"

The man slapped his forehead and looked to someone else on his other side.

"Help me out here man, she's talking crazy-"

"Ikaris definitely showed up with those peole, and the little maid definitely waved her hands, and that island in the sky definitely appeared after she did, someone tried going up there and ended up crashing onto the beach a few minutes later,"

The man pointed to the side at a crater that was now filled with water.

"It definitely happened,"

He responded in such a serious tone that his very facial features were morphed into those of a different entity, his nose and lips chiseled and his eyes darkened in disbelief.

"Definitely."

"Definitely,"

The crowd behind the man held the same expression as he did, scarily similar as they all repeated his confirmation with serious nods.

"Look!" A boy exclaimed in a birthing adolescent voice, pointing to the skies and drawing everyone's eye to a golden phenomena that was manifesting in the air above the distant island. "It's Lord Vestic!" He cheered holding in his other hand a small figure of Sol that someone had replicated and been selling after they viewed Sol's appearance in the codex,

[A special event is about to occur, would you like to view the emergence of the two Pillars of the Goddess of Balance?]

The system window appeared before all of them and the crowds erupted in murmurs and slight cheers, this was clearly another chance they would recieve to see more of the Godslayer that had all come to fear and respect, after his subordinates had singlehandedly saved them from a pending threat they had not even been aware of.

"That was today?"

"Two weeks fly by pretty fast huh?"

"I saw them in the codex too, one is Vatui, and the other is a Goddess that comes from here; the Sol Collective!"

"Did you see what caused them to get banished as punishment, referring to them as their base titles is far too simple," The boy with the figure laughed. "Dr'ul; Goddess of War, and Cecelia the former Right Hand of the Battle Maiden, Ikaris of the Vatui, they are the most powerful of each side... falling under the strength of the Princess and Lord Vestic alone!" He laughed haughtily. "They are even stronger than Lady Dina, that's just crazy!"

"You read everything, wasn't that codex a marathon, like a whole library of information?"

"Everyone surrounding Lord Vestic is powerful, even his personal maid is stronger than a large percentage of us, though, she never engages in battle and only serves as his servant -they are all super!" The boy continued singing their praises while the adults surrounding him slowly grew into his hype and began getting excited as well.

"When I am of age, I will definitely be one of them, whatever it takes, I want to meet Lord Vestic in person and serve as one of his hands, like Lady Dina or mister Cosmo!"

"Big words coming from a little boy."

Unanimously, everyone selected [Accept].

"How long has it been?"

"I do not know, time here flows differently, but many months have already passed, you ask every new day, and I answer the same every new day." Drul responded to Cecelia, playing with a small tendril of mana in her grasp.

The two of them were pressed together, back to back watching the endlessness and the black skies as they turned to day with the quick rise of the first sun. "I know," Cecelia responded. "It is thanks to you that we have been able to make it this long," She praised the goddess of war. "You have taught me so much over this time period, things I would have probably taken years to learm, decades even."

"I have nothing else to do, fighing you is pointless in here," Dr'ul responded with a scoff. "I need you as strong as possible so we can fight at our best and survive..." She lowered her head, staring at the sand beneath her. "The trials get harder with every sunset, had you not been with me I would have lost my sense of self in this torture."

"I have been enlightened in this place, Cecelia, something like this endless warring is what Master Vestic endured for Ten years, I understand Umbra a little better now."

"As do I, if he is indeed Master's own self who has experienced this for ten years, and then was rejected and tossed aside, I understand how he feels, I kind of already did-"

"Ha! You were never tossed to the side, Kiddo," Dr'ul raised her head and bumped Cecelia in the back of hers. "Ikaris had high hopes for you, she had great expectations, but you failed her, that is why you ended up in here."

"Yeah," Cecelia sighed. "I know-"

[Dr'ul, Cecelia,] Ikaris's voice exploded throughout the domain, shaking the very dimension and causing them to take to the sky when the sand became loose and started swallowing them from the air growing unstable as a casualty of the vibrations.

"Princess!" Cecelia snapped in several directions, almost panicking. "Is this another trial?" She turned to Dr'ul. "We've only been on break for a few minutes out of the hour!"

"No, look," Dr'ul pointed further upwards. "A doorway has appeared; the month has finally ended." The Goddess of War held relief in her eyes as she stared upwards at the skies beyond the gate.

"Wait it may be an illusion!" Cecelia grabbed Dr'ul's hand when the goddess began ascending.

"Have a little faith, Cecelia, have you not felt it yet?" Dr'ul chuckled and grabbed the woman by her hand while the flames beneath her feet began condensing. "Master awaits us, the Queen of the Heavens awaits us, countless Vatui and Godslayer signatures I have never felt, await us!!" She took on an almost feral expression as her mana coated over herself and Cecelia and repaired their clothing to their former perfection.

"Come, Cecelia, freedom and valour await us beyond that portal to the world we have long missed!"

"Ah...!"

Cecelia saw Dr'ul's entire body take on an ethereal glow and her hair catch aflame with bright crimson mana.

"Yes!"
