The World's most Overpowered Side-Character
Chapter 65: Frightening Evolution.

"Fight..."

"Win..."

"Kill them all if you have to...!"

"I can't..." Sol coughed and raised his hands again blocking a punch from Saat, but just as before, his magic was lesser magic compared to divine magic, his shields didn't work, his attacks were negated; she powered through his defences effortlessly and tore into his flesh with her bare knuckles.

"Please," Ikaris started crying in Eris's arms causing the healer to panic and try waking her again.

"Master, please... don't leave me alone again..." She shook as sweat slowly dropped from her forehead.

"What the hell is going on with Sol?" Han asked, looking at the crest on Ikaris's neck as it rapidly blinked causing a humming sound to echo through the carriage after they had stopped.

Arla who had been called to the matter urgently was shocked at Ikaris's state, knowing what she knew about the two, if Sol was in danger of dying then Ikaris would equally try and stop it; all else be damned, so why was she like this?

Little did she know that what she was staring at was a husk of the goddess.

[I can't lose him!] Ikaris defied the will of the pantheon who was outraged that she was trying to end the fight.

[I won't!] Ikaris's ethereal form stood outside of the gates of the heavens. [I'll break everything, I'll destroy everything, I'll kill everything!!] She roared grabbing the gates tearing them asunder while her tears fell through the Arkadian skies like a meteor shower causing a rain of mana across the entire world, visible to everything with eyes.

[This is dangerous!] Dr'ul left her throne in a hurry, appearing through a gate before Ikaris and holding out her sword. [Ikaris, you are in violation, I Dr'ul; The goddess of war command you to halt at once!] She stood before Ikaris, but a moment later the pantheon had a long crater of fire and destruction splitting it in half after Ikaris who saw Dr'ul as a threat attacked her first.

[Ikaris, please!] Renia rushed down the path of chaos and found Ikaris holding Dr'ul on the ground by her face with an expression so terrifying it caused her body to stiffen and her blood to freeze, she wanted to say more, but her mouth shook instead, she was unable to even breathe.

[I have thought about it, but I simply cannot agree, if master dies, I lose my purpose, I will lose all that remains of Atla, all the love I have nurtured inside of me will die with him!

I cannot allow this to continue!] Her eyes burned an unusual crimson and her power swirled and turned the white skies into darkness shaking the heavens and forcing a majority of the gods into a state of mortification. [Before then, I will reset everything and tear this reality into pieces!!]

[Ikaris, stop]

She turned upon hearing his voice, but he was not there, he was being alerted of her actions through the system, and even while he was being mercilessly beaten by Saat he still found the focus to speak to her calmly.

[Don't break your promise, don't fight them!]

[Master I-]

[I won't die]

Two windows appeared before Sol, and his mana started to tremble inside of his body.

[Accept defeat and live]

[Defy the heavens and perish along with your goddess]

*Ding

[What is your choice?]

[Choose wisely cockroach!] Saat laughed after she saw the windows, as did everyone else in the pantheon.

[Master...] Ikaris stood passively as the entire guard of the pantheon surrounded and trapped her inside a cage made of light. [I would rather die than see you become a slave, and I will destroy everything if you died and left me here alone]

"I'm frighteningly aware of that now."

[Clockwork]

Sol used that one moment of distraction and finally achieved an activation, hours had gone by, he had been victim of Saat's pride and wrath for hours, and at this point he was barely holding on to his consciousness or his mana that had been depleted to lows he had never experienced before.

[Choose]

Sol ground his teeth as he stared at his options, neither of which he wanted, neither of which suited him.

He grimaced, but his pride collapsed as he saw the only outcome to stopping Ikaris and saving himself.

"I choose evolution." He closed his eyes and steam started rising from his body.

Inside of the sphere of [clockwork] Saat's speed was a casual reach, which showed just how fast she was since she was not supposed to be able to move at all, but a casual reach was not fast enough to get to him.

[Race change has been used]

[Your body will undergo rapid evolution]

[True Divinity unlocked]

[All of your mana will convert into divine mana]

The system announced and Saat stared shocked as Sol's fist extended and connected to her face after which everything went white for a moment, the moon shook, the skies shook, the grounds of Arkadia shook and the heavens trembled as a system window appeared before the face of every living being.

[A frightening existence has been birthed through ritual combat, lament at the rise of a selfish god]

Back on D'ol, Saat was on her hands and knees staring mortified as Sol's presence alone brought her to the ground, the entire surface of the moon had been razed, and debris scattered across the skies shooting into the cosmos.

"You're going to suffer." Sol's hair slowly fanned around his head as he looked down on the goddess, his usuall sky-blue divinity was now a dark and unsettling shade of Indigo, his eyes were an inverted black sclera and pure white iris, and his hair had also turned to white, glowing in contrast to the black skies above him.

The pressure she was feeling was something she had experienced very few times from the Seven greater gods whom she often butt heads with because of her seven natures and the conflicts she caused.

[I forf-]

[Clockwork]

Saat was going to throw in the towel and surrender while she was still whole, but very slowly, her face caved in as Sol's fist cracked her skull upon impact and sent her on a trip around the entire moon in the span of a second.

"You have to be repaid tenfold," Sol caught her by her collar and cracked it with a sneer closing his eyes and listening as her shocked scream slowly arose.

[Unhand me!] Saat assumed her [wrath] transformation, healing her injury and swinging her arms wildly at Sol, but he caught them and squeezed them with a grin of his own.

"I don't think so." He snapped both her wrists and pulled her face into his knee breaking her skull again as her head snapped backwards revealing her smashed-in face. "I need to make sure none of your fellow gods ever try to trap me like this again!" Sol released her arms and stepped in her stomach scowling when golden blood spewed from her mouth across his arms.

[W-wait, listen!] Saat rolled to a stop and fell to her hands and knees again as her skin was cleansed of every blemish and her features became more attractive, her eyes turned to emerald and her once small breasts filled out along with her hips. [I can serve you, I am by nature also the goddess of lust, I dont mind being your sl-gaaaah!!]

Indigo fire erupted from her eyes and mouth as Sol snapped his fingers.

"You don't get it do you?" Sol threw his foot back and kicked her so hard the ground around them imploded upon itself sucking the atmosphere toward them. "You tried tearing Ikaris and I apart!" Sol caught her before she was sent flying and pinned her to the ground.

"I've only seen my goddess cry once, and it was beautiful, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever experienced in my life...

she cried tears of happiness; but you!" Sol's fist coated over with his new divine magic and slammed into her stomach, going straight through and sending waves of destructive mana bursting from the opposite side of the moon as she screamed and her appearance flashed from lust to pride and then the other five sins repeatedly.

"You made her cry out of fear and torment, it's unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable, Saat, I won't kill you, I promise I won't, but you're gonna be wishing you had died today I'll erase those sins of yours with nothing but fear and dread!" Sol's skin darkened and wings erupted from his back violently spilling white glowing blood across the rocks that slowly floated around them as he began to laugh maniacally while she trembled and screeched beneath him.

"Goddess of lust, are you out of your mind?" He asked. "Ikaris is everything, there is none but her, I can't be tempted by any other being living or dead!!] He roared.

[Demon-god transformation]

[Release me,] Ikaris raised her head after she had watched Sol start a merciless beating on a helpless goddess. [I have duties on Arkadia that I must see to.]

[Are you mental?] One of the wolf-headed guardian gods who had witnessed what would have been the start of her rampage barked at her. [You have violated many laws here today punishment must be... !!] He stopped talking and turned his spear against the cage with a jolt of fear when cracks of black appeared all across it and her manic eyes fell on him.

[It was not a request] Dr'ul looked at him, finally gathering her bearings after witnessing how terrifying Ikaris was firsthand, it was brief, but she saw something that not even her sister had witnessed in their friendly bout. [Do not invite the wrath of a deity beyond your understanding] Dr'ul warned, and altogether the guardians lowered their spears and the cage slowly disappeared.

[For my master's sake, I am deeply sorry for breaking my promise of no aggression, had he not ordered me, I would have called on the powers of the beginning themselves, the primordial forces, and destroyed all at any cost, but... as I said, I am sincerely regretful, do not let it weigh over you.] Ikaris disappeared in a flash of light.

[H-how was that even an apology?] One other god asked falling to his ass and sighing as the oppression of her presence finally disappeared while Dr'ul stared at the destruction a single strike from Ikaris had caused.

[The heavens are supposed to be a limitless existence that spans and encompasses all, and yet she left a tear across this vastness in the blink of an eye, from one end to the other an unmendable scar] Dr'ul wiped blood from her nose and sighed. [She truly is, unfathomable] she looked at her sister.

At the same time of this conversation, Ikaris's eyes opened, and she found herself embraced in a pleasent scent, she smiled, and slowly turned her head to gaze up at him and bask in the new atmosphere of his evolved mana.

"Master."
