The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

Drul grabbed Dina's hand and her eyes went completely crimson as they both vanished in a bright flash of her crimson mana.

For a few seconds, the system window was silent and still pointing at the area showing Arla return to the spot and cover her eyes from the sun as she stared into the air.

"By the gods..." Arla mused. "I am surrounded by monsters." She squinted staring at Sett; the third and largest moon that her own attack had nearly destroyed earlier without her knowledge.

It started like a small wave of pink fire, spreading across the surface rapidly, but then the moon itself began opening up as Dina's delayed attack tore through it spitting fire from every direction before the backside of the moon facing away from everything else was blasted to kingdom come in a massive explosion, and then the explosion shrunk and went off a second time encompassing three times the radius of the moon and causing the void it occupied to roar and collapse violently.

As if it hadn't existed at all, Sett was gone.

"Oh my god," Usami sat and stared at the screen with her mouth half agape and her fists clenched in horror. "That is more power than even Sitri showed when she fought with Sol -what the hell, Dina, this is beyond anything even remotely mortal!"

"Seriously, what the fuck..." Eris agreed from her seat next to Uriyu with a bead of sweat rolling down her cheek to neck. "What the fuck happened in that dark universe to cause them to grow this strong?"

Sett was an exact replica of Earth's size down to the last inch, and with her full power, Dina had completely destroyed it down to the last rock.

"It looks like this fight is about to be concluded, then," Sol threw popcorn in his mouth while Ikaris picked from the bucket in his lap with a smile.

"Indeed."

"Dina, I am shocked." Dr'ul held on to her hand staring at where Sett was supposed to be and grinning widely. "You have surpassed my expectations entirely, that too without revealing your real trump card." She looked at Dina staring at her hair glowing brightly and her irises that had turned pink with her sclera turning black mimicking Sol's divine appearance, save for the pink.

"I can still keep going," Dina stared at her barely trying to pull her hand away. "I still have power to spare."

"Unless you want to use the chaos magic Renia blessed to grow inside of you and endanger your life, I suggest you reconsider what you are saying, you barely have enough overall mana to maintain that appearance let alone fight." Dr'ul argued Dina's bluff and then released Dina when she let out a breath of mana and stopped struggling.

"Do not be downhearted, Mage Hero, you are blessed beyond your peers, blessed beyond your years, and a very worthy opponent, amazing, Dina; that is what you are."

"But... I didn't even harm a hair on your head after giving it my all and you didn't even dodge it." Dina sighed as the last of her divine mana was used up and she stopped glowing, immediately slumping over and falling unconscious.

"What did you expect, I am the strongest." Dr'ul laughed as she held her to herself like a babe and vanished again.

[Your partner has forfeited the challenge, do you wish to continue?]

The system notified Arla who was standing in the wasteland that was once a large island isolated from the rest of Arkadia.

"Today is not my day to shine it appears, I will grow stronger when it suits me best, but for now, I suppose I forfeit." Arla smiled and raised her hands in defeat and a second later she was once again in Eris's palace standing before everyone. "Ah!" She stared at Dina who was being catered to by Sara.

"Is she okay?" She ran over to her ignoring everyone else in the room and sliding to a halt cancelling the summoned armour and gloves on her hands and resting her palm against Dina's cheek.

[The winner of this challenge is the Goddess of war, Dr'ul!]

The system announced and everyone present slowly began applauding, but to the elf's surprise, even Dr'ul was doing the same while she and the others stared at herself and Dina who slowly regained consciousness when Sol came over and rested his hand on her forehead granting her a portion of his own mana.

"Well done, you two." Sol smiled warmly at them, pulling them to their feet and resting his hands on their heads. "That was amazing."

"And extremely reckless, Dina." Ikaris spoke up from her seat. "Using divine arts you barely understand could have backfired and killed you, silly girl." She sighed in relief. "But, it was amazing what you both did, as mages, as warriors."

"Indeed!" Dr'ul laughed, and then looked down at Jenifer, shrinking to a regular height and staring at her. "You seem shocked."

"I'm not too surprised by anything I witness after seeing the power sir wields, but I am pleased that you are this strong, the strength displayed by you is that of commanders," she regarded Arla. "And you are as powerful as a vice-captain without a doubt." She pointed at Dina and then looked at Dr'ul directly.

"Your majesty, you are beyond the power of the average Godslayer; many times stronger." She cracked a small smile. "Maybe you are descended from the strongest of Vatui bloodlines."

"The strongest..." Sol mused after the room had gone quiet again. "I didn't think too much on it since it's a longshot and something of an urban legend among her people, but maybe..." He looked around at Ikaris. "There's a chance Ikaris is some kind of nobility, a pureblooded Vatui noble said to have gone extinct in the war."

"Nobility?" Ikaris scoffed. "What are the chances of such a coincidence?"

"From her memories, it only makes sense that you could be, the Vatui are all strong but the nobles were the leaders for a reason; it was only after they all suddenly disappeared that the war was lost." Sol answered.

"Do you mind explaining to me what your plan for getting her back to her people without exposing us is?" Dr'ul asked, but Sol raised his hand and shook his fingers.

"Hot, spring."

"But-"

*Snap*

"-I have never..." Dr'ul's shoulders slouched when she found herself someplace completely different. Stay connected to the story on m-vl-em-py-r

"Never what?" Sol responded when she failed to finish speaking when she came face to face with a great structure the size of Eris's palace, it wasn't a simple structure like any he'd built before either; it was a detailed and fully functional resort, complete with a reception desk which Sara quickly want behind and zipped into her shadows appearing again in uniform.

"Ladies, gentlemen, gods of all ages and sizes, welcome to Vestic Resort and Hot Springs," Sara smiled at them all, took a pen from the desk, opened a log book and then took a nameplate from her pocket with her name on it and placed it for everyone to see. "I will quickly add your names and you will choose your destination, please form a line."

"Are you serious?" Dr'ul cast a deadpan at Sol, and he laughed haughtily and gestured to the front desk. "I have never once shown myself to anyone before, if I am not mistaken a hot spring is something which involves nudity is it not?" She asked with her brows furrowed and her eyes narrowed, Sol nodded and pointed to a sign right above Sara's head.

[Public Lady's section to the right, Public Men's section to the left, Public Mixed springs down the centre and private springs are also available for mixed or single bathing, please see the receptionist to make an appointment and do remember to respect these rules.]

"How are we to talk if not face to face?" Adonai looked down at Sol.

"Alpha will connect us to a live call, with names and all like WiFi." Sol answered while the mentioned system appeared and created a window before everyone with all their names on it, and as each person spoke their names shone brightly with a mic icon next to it.

"I do not know what WiFi is, but it seems convenient speaking to someone without always sending a message or making a journey." Renia stared at the window and her name as it lit up with her words.

"Amazing, then I will obviously be in the Ladies section." Ana'el chirped and stood before Sara taking a small wooden crest from the receptionist and then hurrying along as a system window followed and explained the experience of a Hot Spring resort to her.

"Is it safe for you to go in a hot spring when you're like this?" Eris looked at Ikaris, and she smiled and nodded.

"I am an all-powerful being, Eris, setting foot in warm water and relaxing will not be enough to harm me nor my child; neither of us will overheat." She chuckled and turned to Sara. "We will be taking a private spring, please."

"Certainly Milady, please follow the system window and pay attention to the rules, everything will be provided," Sara responded kindly and made a gesture before Ikaris, Dina and Arla vanished.

"If I may, Sara," Alpha appeared at her side dressed as she was and flicked her fingers causing Sara's receptionist plaque to change to her name. "You should also enjoy a little downtime, I will appoint you to Master's private Spring and handle the rest." She gestured to the gods who all obediently formed a line while Sol disappeared.

"Can I?" Sara asked joyfully, and the system smiled and snapped her fingers causing Sara to vanish again.

"My apologies for the delay Ma'am, what will be your choice?" Alpha asked Dr'ul who was first in line.

"I suppose, the public Ladies'," Drul answered and Alpha smiled again.

"Right away."
