The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Great, Fireball!!" Cecelia unleashed her cast directly onto Dr'ul's stomach, for a few seconds there was nothing, but the goddess could sense the massive mana pool that was suddenly drenched in order to create it, so without wasting a moment Dr'ul sucked in a breath and focused solely on defensive mana, trapping herself and Cecelia within a gigantic barrier which encompassed them as they plummeted into the core once more.

"I think it has become unsafe here yet again," Adonai emerged from theground before Zara causing the woman to almost yelp at how quickly he had done it and the fact that he did so undetected.

"I will retreat the masses several paces away," He extended his hands creating an instantaneous barrier around every living being in the gathering and then snapping his fingers much like Sol had always done, the result being a shift of the outpost they resided on into an entirely different system where it immediately locked into orbit with another sentient planet on the opposite side of the sun.

"Show off," S'mael scoffed.

Unlike his brother who had acted urgently the god of destruction emerged slowly and already in his [BLACK JACKAL] transformation, licking his lips as he looked at the system neighbouring them, seeing his sister and the commander sink into the core of the broken planet. "What monstrous power," S'mael chuckled.

"Yes, the goddess of war is a scary being-"

"Dr'ul?" S'mael scoffed, turning to look at Hudor who had spoken after him. "You don't get it at all, little man, I already know that my sister is a monster, I was talking about that arrogant woman fighting her; she has terrible mana; truly awful stuff running wild inside of her, I can't wait to see where it leads this fight when she forces Dr'ul to put her back into those punches."

The god of destruction laughed just as the [Great Fireball] that Cecelia had cast over a minute ago finally went off, taking with it the entire planet as well as the whole solar system in a great explosion mimicking the [Forced Sun] Ikaris had used against Lars in the previous fight, everything was completely incinerated almost instantaneously, remodelling the space into a dead plane of desolation and dust as though a supernova had just gone off.

"All that from a single fireball..." Dr'ul chuckled. "Did you think that small ball of flames was enough to harm me, or were you just trying to tickle me?" The goddess continued chuckling, keeping her arm locked on Cecelia's, her armour was dented from the area of impact, but otherwise Dr'ul was completely fine.

Cecelia on the other hand had harmed herself, her skin along her arm had been irritated, and her clothes had several spots where the mana had burnt small fringes and holes in it, including the sleeve that had been burnt all the way up to her shoulder, Seeing her opponent unharmed, Cecelia heaved in frustration and weakly tugged her arm testing to see if Dr'ul was bluffing, but her reward for that half-assed test was another punch, this one significantly more powerful than any other.

Zara flinched when she witnessed the goddess brutally drive her fist into her sister's cheek and then winced once more when Cecelia grappled Dr'ul's arm which held her and returned a punch of even greater strength than the one she had just received, the slow punches sped up until both had released each other and were locked in a flurry of blows against each other, every punch stronger than the last one, each faster than the last; all while Dr'ul and Cecelia refused to lose any ground, the waves of energy the two released became so dense that it started turning into a physical phenomena, reaching the ends and beyond as the lights created by the colliding residual dust of Cecelia's perfect cast were washed away.

"This is absurd..." Keele flinched as well when she saw the fight taking a brutal turn. Cecelia's will to keep going kept her afloat while Dr'ul's eagerness to teach her a lesson prevented the goddess from seeing the damage she was causing. "I have no Idea where their strengths and weaknesses actually lie, but if this keeps up, one of them will undoubtedly die...!"

"Do not expect me or any of the gods to try and stop my sister, she is scary enough when she gets her way, but a miserable Dr'ul is a far more terrifying entity to deal with," Adonai chuckled, taking a seat of his own making and conjuring a cup of tea in his grasp, reflecting Sol as most others under his influence seemed to do.

"When there is a victor there can be consequences, in the meantime I will stay my hand, lest I be killed in the crossfire of their absurd strength."

"We have to do something, I agree with Keele this time, someone is headed to the grave unless they are stopped," Jenifer shook her head opposing Adonai.

"Then by all means, weakling, go; go and stop them, I love destruction, but I do not find the concept of being destroyed very appealing," S'mael countered her and the woman had to take a breath to calm herself upon being called weakling so openly, she knew better than to get into it with this one with the dog head; he was even quicker to anger than the goddess of war was, realistically speaking, he was also the most powerful after her because of his ability to grow stronger being tied to any universe's constant state of slow and cosmic decay.

"Is there nothing we can do?" Keele asked, and Adonai shook his head with a sigh.

"When the Queen gets like this only Sol I believe has the power to disarm her safely, she would even fight Ikaris, even though we fear her."

"You fear her?"

"Ikaris is to be feared, we are all Celestial Divine, but she is the goddess which created and rules over us, you think you have seen her power after that fight but she has done far more terrifying things, one such thing being her ability to tear the firmaments of heaven apart with her bare hands," Adonai responded in kind.

"She is no joke, the goddess of balance, a god ruling over all others, she is terrifying beyond words when she loses her will to abide by her own laws, she is immeasurable, her and Sol Vestic alike, and yet, Dr'ul would jump at the chance to fight either of them."

"This is getting annoying...!" Dr'ul grabbed Cecelia's hands and raised her knee in her stomach, and when the woman bent forward in pain she raised her other knee smashing her armoured leg in her nose and then releasing her with a kick to her ribcage, before the commander had a chance to recover from the blows the goddess slammed her hand in her back and huffed as a bright burst of flaming divine mana blasted them apart sending her crashing into another system with Dr'ul following her suit.

"This could become dangerous if it continues at this rate..." Dr'ul made a quick scan of the area they were in searching primarily for life, or potential life, but when the goddess found neither, a sinister grin appeared across her face, she caught Cecelia by her hair while she was still plumeting across the system and vanished, appearing on an outer planet where the whole thing was frozen and windless and throwing her forward whers she stumbled nefore catching herself.

"Do you have the will to continue, or will you yield and admit your wrongs?" She asked seriously, and for an instance in their little exchange the Vatui woman seemed on the verge of giving in, but when she saw the look of disdain on Dr'ul's face upon her consideration Cecelia sucked in a breath and released another puff of charged mana from her nostrils.

"I am not wrong, I am better than you are," Cecelia wiped the dried blood from her nose and clicked her tongue.

"I am and always will -" Her declaration disappeared and was replaced by a scream of pain when she disappeared from a punch that cracked her chestplate and sent her off-world but before she could even tell what was happening, Cecelia was once again before Dr'ul, though her injury remained.

"I will ask again, do you yield, Éloén Cecelia?" Dr'ul asked once more, lowering her hand to reveal a small circle resembling Arla's previous summoning spell circle before she evolved into a cosmic being. "Answer me while you still can, otherwise you might succumb and die from what I do nex-"

"Fuck you," Cecelia spat and raised herself already recovered. "Imposter...

you are a bastard Vatui and an imposter god you are a stain against her name, she was stupid to ever think a lowly being like you could ever be one of us!" Cecelia raised her hand preparing to cast her [Great Fireball] once more at Dr'ul, but a moment afterwards the world was upside down and her head was driven into the ground in a brutal suplex that sent cracks reverberating across the ice right around the malshaped floating celestial body.

Dr'ul's eyes completely coated over in crimson after she righted herself, they burned brightly and then became white when her mana started leaking out of her like a river, reaching miles across in every direction and returning in violent torrents, wrapping around her body while the ice under her feet rapidly melted away.

"I have tried being lenient because you are important enough that Ikaris insists on keeping you around, I have exercised caution because you are kin and I do not want to break you, I have held myself from exerting any form of significant force because I am supposed to be protecting you, not harming you, but right now, I no longer care about breaking you beyond repair, you have crossed the line, first offending me by calling me a bastard, I can always walk away from that, but to stare me in my eyes and accuse me of being a stain on her name and then you mock the goddess of balance, you spit in the face of her mercy, you have dishonoured the giving hand and I will not tollerate it, all voices raised against the benevolent Ikaris will be put down..."

[Goddess of war: GODDESS OF WAR] Her head tag read as her armour began melting away and her hair began glowing brightly, while her mana rampaged across the surface as far as the eyes could see.

"I have had enough of your insolence, from this moment on, you will face my wrath, and I will not stop until you are either begging me to stop, unconscious, or dead!"
