The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"I would have never dreamt of killing every demon, the thought seems impossible." Ikaris lowered her gaze and took a deep breath inhaling his scent and huffing mana in return.

"I'm gonna make it a reality, for a moment, I forgot the promise I made to myself, but Sitri gave me a painful reminder of why they don't deserve to live, not a single one of them." Sol lowered his hand and placed it on her abdomen, above her womb, and upon doing so he flinched when Ikaris sucked in a breath and sobbed.

"I will never forgive demonkind, it doesn't matter what good they have done and what good they plan to do, a demon is a demon in my eyes... not a single one of them deserve salvation."

Sol's hair flashed white and began floating, and his grip on Ikaris loosened as he let her up and stood. "Their time is up, the system has prevented anyone from escaping by blocking all the portals going on and out with interference, but the sheer amount of them that have tried leaving is almost a shock.

"Dear, I would never oppose your choices, but I still have to ask, are you sure you want to be the one to kill off an entire species?" Ikaris asked, and while armour slowly grew over Sol's body he leaned his head and looked at her.

"Their goal all this time has been to destroy every god, they deserve it." He answered concisely, summoning a bloody sword with a red bow tied to the handle, this was the first time Ikaris had seen it since Atla, it was the sword he used to kill the demon god there, the sword itself once belonged to Griffon, blessed by the priest, and the red bow belonged to Jun, Sol had used every skill he learnt from his many teachers over the years to give it buffs, three years of constant imaginary-tier curses had caused the item to gain [Absolutely unbreakable] as a permanent status effect, nothing in existence could break it.

The fact that Sol would use this cursed weapon meant he was going on ceremony, he was going to discard his morality and turn off his heart again, she stared sadly at the dried blood on the blade, and how as soon as he held it firmly his eyes seemed to lose their life, as if it possessed him and willed him.

"If anything happens, call me, I will immediately return-" Sol looked around at Ikaris, and she flinched and ran toward him, pulling out a handkerchief and reaching for his face, but Sol caught her hand and lowered it. "Don't touch it, it's always been like this." He looked away from her, hiding his right eye which had a single stream of blood slowly flowing down his cheek.

"Sol, Wait!" Dina came flying up toward them, and right behind her was Arla. "Hold on." She landed before him and took a deep breath, glancing at Ikaris and then looking at him again, finding apprension because of his strange appearance and the ominous sword he was holding on to.

But then against her judgement and the atmosphere she rushed forward and hugged him, clinging on to him and burying her face in his side.

"Dina, you shouldn't touch me-"

"I don't care, you've always done the most reckless things, as far back as I can remember, you've gone above and beyond when you put your mind to something." She retorted, and even Ikaris nodded in agreement that this was in fact true.

"If it's too much, come back, we won't think any less of you if you give up to keep your life." Dina looked up at him, staring at his bleeding eye. "Promise."

"What?" Sol lazily stared at her.

"Promise me." She continued staring defiantly, and Sol sighed and smiled at her, resting his hand on her shoulder and kissing her forehead.

"I'm not dying, Dina, I promise you that." He looked up at Arla next who was standing behind Ikaris. "Do you also have something to say?" He asked, and she nodded but kept her distance.

"I... I have no place here, except in your service, so..." She lowered her head when Sol's image shifted and he started walking over to her. "I... pray for your safe return, Master Vestic." Arla felt butterflies when the clanking of his armoured boots stopped before her and she stared at his feet, and the bloody sword that hovered next to them.

"Look here for a second." Sol called to her, and she timidly raised her head again only to find him smiling brightly at her, there was no blood, no anger, it was the Sol who could comfort her. story at NovelFire,mp|y|r

"Thank you for existing, Arla, and to answer what you asked be back then, If you can, then go ahead I'd be honoured, my heart is overjoyed that someone as kind spirited as you could ever love me." He smiled again and then rested his hand on her head. "I hope someday I can give you a better response than this."

The air around him went cold again, and the sword began whispering as Sol turned his back to all of them and began ascending slowly. "Stay safe and remember, if something happens that you can't handle, I'm a whisper away, all you have to do is call my name, and mean it with all your heart." He gave one last instruction before vanishing in a flash of black and red lightning.

"Ikaris?" Dina looked around as soon as Sol was gone. Finding the goddess standing with a clearly worried expression. "He says that all the time, and we proved it too, but isn't prayer something only a true god can respond to?" She asked, and Ikaris chuckled.

"Of course, no other being can respond to prayers aside from gods." Ikaris took a seat while her and Arla joined her staring up in at the ominous planet above them.

"Then, are you saying he is a god now?"

"He is no god, not of the divine or demon variety at least." Ikaris answered. "Sol is the pure essence of godhood, the grey line between us, the shadow we dare not cross, he is the Godslayer, one who abides by no rule or law; a being of pure contradiction to the heavens and hell, a parody of power that can achieve what even the divine and demon gods cannot."

"I still do not understand the concepts you explain." Arla shook her head.

"It cannot be understood, as I am of the source of light, and the demon gods are of the sources of darkness, Sol's power comes from the shadow between, he is simply more."

"What a headache." Dina rubbed her temples. "I know you're trying to explain, but everything you say sounds like a parable, I can't keep up."

[You have been granted administrative command of the system in the absence of my owner]

The system announced to Ikaris.

"I am hesitant to share this, but, it is a defining moment in the history of creation, what happens today can never be undone, good or bad, desirable or undesirable, we are about to witness a turning point in history." Ikaris waved her hand, and a system window appeared before them all, a large one that continued to grow, not just the three but before every god in the village, in the fields, everywhere.

And then they started appearing all across Zola-Prime as well as Hāl.

"Demon-gods, Arch-demons, Demonkin,, Lesser Demons, Demonic beasts and all." Sol spoke through the system. "My name is Sol Vestic, and I come bearing the message of your demise."

"For hundreds of thousands of millenia, you and your kind have tred across thousands of universes, killing, destroying lives, and plundering, the numbers have long passed thousands of quintillions, a concept that does not even exist, that is how many lives your kind have plundered and carelessly tred upon-"

"This is a live broadcast?" Arla stared at Sol who sat in the pilot seat of a space-pod staring at Hāl as he approached it.

"He is doing the same thing that they have done so many times before." Dina stared, holding Ikaris's shaking hand.

"I've had the misfortune of witnessing two separate universes get ravaged by your kind, I've had the misfortune of seeing everything before me turn to blood and fire, so mark this as the moment your karma struck back; I swore years ago that I would kill every last one of you, and I've come to deliver on that promi-"

The pod he was in exploded when a barrage of missiles from both Zola and Hāl locked on and shot it down while it was in hyper speed.

[Activating Echo Teleportation (you will appear anywhere within this observable universe that you have already been)]

"Nothing will stop me." Sol emerged from the ball of plasma that the multitude of nukes had created in an attempt to kill him.

"I'm coming with the hatred of every abused and destroyed universe on my back, I won't falter or waver once." He continued flying, waving his hand and collapsing the space in front of him before he closed his eyes and vanished completely, reappearing on Hāl, right at the spot he had first arrived and saved Dina.

"I've come to tie up all loose ends and put a stop to your evils once and for all; you're all going to die."
