The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

*Khalla-Nova*

"This is the first time we are choosing to be apart without the need to be separated," Ikaris sat between Sol's legs, gazing at the stars while he held her in his embrace. "I am a little scared, Dear," She admitted.

"It will be fine, Ikaris," Sol responded, resting his cheek gainst her neck and nuzzling comfortably. "Just as I can be there for you now, even collectives apart that won't change, I'll come running if anything you can't handle arises."

"That leaves the question of what those threats are that would make me need your assistance," Ikaris made a fair point; the same point that Dr'ul was trying to make earlier that day.

"They are all neutral, as far as I can tell," Sol kissed her shoulder. "The only enemy here in the Khalla-Nova Collective left is the Emporium, however many of them are here, and the faster you deal with them the less likely there will be reinforcements from the rest of the Grand Collective in the near future, they need to be dealt with tjoroughly to prevent a resurgence."

"They are already so wary of us, though," Ikaris smiled. "I doibt that many would come after what we have achieved here."

"Don't underestimate them though, the worst enemy is the one you know nothing about, and right now, we have no idea who the three first generals are, neither is there any record or information on their Immortal Emporer, I know that you can handle the ones before getting to them, but those four leave me very wary, the `Fear the Unknown` is a saying for a reason."

"Of course, Love," Ikaris smiled at his warning and turned in his lap, looking up at him with genuine cincern, "And it applies very heavily to you as well, right?" She countered his words yet again and the man smiled down at her, rubbing her cheek with his thumb and choosing to kiss her on her forehead rather than agree again.

"Should we begin then?" Sol after several more minutes of shared silence with his wife stared off into the void again.

"The leaders of Dusk and Liberty who told me that it is Possible to integrate another five or six planets into the orbit of G.Gamma's sun now that it has been restored to its former life, but the development of a completed Sphere will take something like seventy years," Ikaris nodded at his first question while standing after taking his hand.

"That's a lot shorter than I anticipated, honestly, are you sure you want to use Arkadia?" Sol stared down at everyone waiting for him and saw Dr'ul nod at his question.

"It was a decision made by voting amongst the pantheon, they have spent a larger time than most dedicating their hearts to growing stronger ever since they discovered the existence of beings dead set on killing us," Renia announced from her sister's side.

"It was agreed upon unanimously." Adonai added, so with that information removing the last shred of doubt Sol had harboured, he closed his eyes carefully severing just the Arkadian Universe and then adding G.Gamma to it along with all the smaller worlds and outposts heh had taken over the last five months of being a pain in the Emporium's side.

"From his side, he sped up time and did this over the span of several weeks, going back and forth and carefully selecting exact replicas of the spaces, suns and living conditions within systems to relocate that many worlds.

However, from the view of those who were watching him, the process seemed almost instant.

His eyes glowed a bright menacing gold, and golden veins popped up and raced across his skin forming strange, almost arcane magical patters beneath his flesh, then as soon as his appearance had fullt changed to Godslayer, his mana subsided and he closed his eyes, opening them anew.

The only people present who seemed to have an inkling of what had been done were Ikaris, Adonai and Dr'ul, who were more adept at dealing with Divination in the form of creation, and S'mael who was the God of Destruction and had sensed the rupture and recreation of several links around him.

"Is that all?" Dina furrowed her brows when she saw Ikaris and Sol descending off the rooftop after the two of them had privately conversed for almost an hour.

"Are we already outside?"

"Not yet, I have been rearranging everywhere in order so that travel is as cost-efficient as possible," Sol shook his head and then turned to Ikaris holding her shoulders and kissing her forehead.

"Master," She smiled sadly at him. "It is hard saying farewell."

"Then don't." Sol smiled at her.

"Jenifer."

"Yes, Sir," The woman appeared from within Sara's shadow like a ghost taking a knee befre him while the others all fell in line and stood at attention. "As we discussed?" She asked.

"That's right," Sol rested his hand on her head. "I will take Alpha's variant; Jena and the original will remain here with all of you."

"I understand," The woman smiled sadly when the System message appeared before her.

[You have lost administrative rule over the miniature system; Jena].

"Do not cry, Mother," The small girl appeared next to Jenifer and rested her hand on her cheek. "Uncle will take gare of me, and I will make sure that he returns in good health!" She smiled.

"I will miss you, little one," Jenifer sucked in a breath of fresh air and then kissed the little girl's forehead. "Be safe, Master Vestic," She turned to Sol, standing and giving him the new salute that was being passed around their ranks since the last expansion of G.Gamma.

"I will-" Sol nodded at the woman and then turned around just fast enough to catch Arla by her sides and prevent her from knocking him over with her overenthusiastic hug.
Your next read is at empire

"Master," The elf nuzzled against his chest when he placed her to stand again. "I wish I could tag along, but I understand that it is ironically safer here against the Emporium than out there where there are beings capable of hurting even you~!"

"Arla, Dina," Sol rested his hand on her head and then hugged Dina after she approached, wearing an expression silent sadness. "I will miss you both with increasingly with every second that passes," He smiled down at them, hugging Dina's head to his neck and taking a deep breath.

Ikaris's eyes shone brightly, and her sigils all lit up in a brilliant white when Sol turned to her, causing the sigils on Arla and Dina, as well as the small one on Sara's hand to shine brightly in resonance with hers while Talia began crying for the first time since she was born.

"Ikaris..." Sol spke her name solemnly and then went silent with a gasp when she hugged him and locked her hands around his waist.

"Remember, I cannot live without you," Ikaris smiled against his chest and then looked to the side at Sara who was silently watching with the crying babe, gesturing that she bring her over.

"There, there," Sol took the child from the maid and smiled when she immediately went silent in his grasp. "He kissed her cheek and opened his palm above her head, leaving a small golden ring hovering above her chest which quickly disappeared. "A little blessing from papa," Sol smiled warmly. "If you ever think

OH NO!

just think of daddy and I will be there faster than you can make the roof go BAN!" He chuckled when the babe began waving her hands at him, taking his face with her little palms and leaving a wet kiss on his nose.

Lastly, there was Sara, as he had promised, Sol did not want to leave her behind again, especially after what happened back on D'ol of Arkadia, but his reassurance that she would be okay this time came from the maid herself when she broke character in front of everyone for the first time and grabbed Sol in a tight hug.

"Master..." The maid cried, rubbing her face in his shirt. "You will return this time, yes?" She asked still rubbing her forehead back and forth, he could feel her hands slightly shivering while she put on a brave face, so he laid his hand atop her head and hugged her to himself with a bit more firmness to calm her shivers.

"Sara-"

"I love you, Master, I truly, uncinditionally, love you. I do not want to part again, but I am reserved to accept that your role as our protector requires travelling alone, so... so I will suck it up!"

"No need," Sol held her tightly. "And don't think that you are alone," He smiled at everyone who watched them. "You have many friends and loved ones here this time, Sara you are not, and will never be alone again, besides..."

"Talia needs her big sis, right?" Sara released him with a sniffle and chuckled. "Even though I love you so," She rubbed her eyes walking backwards until she was at Ikaris's side once more. "I trust that the little Lady needs me far more than you do, I will never leave her side so long as I live, Master," Sara rubbed her eyes again, seeing Talia reach for her from Ikaris's arms.

Sol stood opposing and staring at everyone present, saying goodbye to this many people was a hassle, but it reminded him of why he was doing it in the first place. "Thank you all."

Seeing the Godslayer lowering his head before them was a shock that none but His three wives and his closest friends in Renia and Dr'ul knew about, some things simply were not made public, and it seemed it would remain that way as Sol slowly began ascending while assuming his Deity appearance of white hair and inverted eyes.

"Why did he thank us?" Adonai looked to his sister when he saw the expression of sadness she made upon hearing Sol's words.

"Why else, brother?" The goddess of war turned to her sibling almost crying. "He has been through a lot, and has lost a lot, he is doing this because he wants to lose no more," She smiled. "To translate; Sol was saying..."

"Thank you for being alive."
