The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Don't hold back, destroy the Godslayer at whatever cost!" Voices echoed through the darkness followed by bright flashes of light and explosions, and an entire half of Nekka was pitch darkness after Sol had continued Dina's planetwide storm and destroyed every source of electrical power sending them into a state of chaos.

"Destroy him, stop him!" The captains clamoured together and attacked Sol consecutively over and over again leaving him barely enough time to breathe.

"Stop me?" Sol blocked several weapon projectiles and swung one axe cleaning a ditch through the land and sea which rapidly tore across the surfaces before turning into an arc and racing off into the cosmos after escaping Nekka's gravity. "Stop me!?" He clasped his axes together reforging his hammer and dropping it in the back of an attempted surprise attack.

"There's nobody here that can stop me, there's no power here that can-" Sol leaned forward with his eyes narrowed after someone else tried attacking him and failed, crashing through the soil and then re-emerging explosively from beneath the surface, except this one was many times faster than the others, and by the sensation, she was also many times stronger.

He inclined his head with intrigue and stared at the short blue cape fanning weightlessly on her back and before he could control himself, Sol's lips curled into a smile and he began chuckling at the sight of her.

"It took this much to bring you out, General?" He asked watching the woman slowly turn and face him, like General Flint, she was not drugged up with PowerPoint nor was she using the artificial Vatui drug, she was a pure human without augmentation outside of the norm which meant she was likely more dangerous than the others.

"You've done enough, let's take this elsewhere and settle it like warriors-"

"Yeah, no," Sol snickered and scratched his head raising his hammer out of the crater and off the corpse it was resting. "You brought an entire armada into my collective and threatened my wife and child's life, I was willing to play fair at some point, but after I found out what you people were..." Sol closed his eyes and opened them anew, bringing a bright golden glow.

"There's no fairness, there's no honour, I don't give a fuck anymore, my sole goal is to completely destroy you all!" Sol spun and slammed his hammer into the ground with a roar.

For a few seconds, nothing seemed to have happened, but then the ground beneath her began to tremble and quake before a rebound force sent her flying into the air and through the clouds, before she could gather her bearings from the sudden launch into the air the general of the 2990th outpost raised her hands and deflected Sol's hammer spinning several times and then stopping herself and holding out her hand.

"This is the strength that toppled an entire armada?" She asked, but a few seconds later the ground beneath the clouds began turning to flames as lava began pouring up from every angle, she could see waves of the land rise and violently fall and great cracks ripping through the land from one end of the horizon to the other.

"Topple?" Sol raised his brow. "Me?" He asked. "I didn't even get to fight them, that was the work of the ones I protect, my precious little brothers and sisters," He laughed. "You lot haven't seen the extent of my power, I've always had to hold back or retreat in fear of harming someone I care about, but for the first time in almost a year I've been given the chance to let loose."

"General," Cecelia stared at Viktor's anxious face as they watched and listened to Sol through the general sharing her feed live to the army's data banks. "We won't make it in time-"

"We keep going," he answered. "We know where he is now, he's come out of hiding after a month -this is an opportunity, if the general of the 2990th can keep him busy long enough I can reach him, I can kill him and clear our names, thanks to my poor decision we've been scrutinized by the 99th, I'll take any chance I can." He declared and Cecelia hummed in agreement.

"But that all depends on the ability of the 2990th General to keep him there, we both know that the bastard is far more powerful than he lets on, he is the ultimate enemy, and with his status as the ultimate enemy comes the ultimate prize; Ikaris," Viktor added.

"Sir,"

"Hm?"

"How sure are you of a victory should you fight him?" Cecelia asked, her crimson eyes shaded beneath her white hair and her shoulders slouched as she was heavy in thought, although she seemed to have asked the question absently, the general could tell she was taking this matter seriously, in fact, she was taking the matter far more seriously than he was considering the stakes.

"You let the most powerful Godslayer in recorded history escape from right before you?"

"That's an affirmative, Sir," Viktor answered, staring up at the screen of his ship at a figure shrouded in a silhouette, at his side was Cecelia and aside from her the entire vessel was empty. "He is faster than anything I have ever seen before-"

"Is that any excuse?"

"Absolutely not, your majesty," Viktor answered rubbing the back of his head. "It won't happen again, I swear it on my-"

"Of course, it's just like you to begin making promises to avert your failures from yourself; you humans always have some trick or another to get yourselves out of trouble," the silhouette spoke, staring at the Captain next to her general.

"Not this time, General," He spoke. "Either you bring me Ikaris and her Godslayer dog, or you hand over your own little Vatui pet, is that clear?"

"Sir..."

"Is that clear, general?" The silhouette spoke again and Viktor nodded and lowered his head.

"Affirmative, Your Majesty, I will not fail a second time. Ikaris will be at your feet, and the Godslayer will be killed.

"You have a year to make it happen."

"But-"

"Eleven months."

"Understood," Viktor closed his eyes and lowered his posture. "Thank you for your mercy, your majesty, I will not disappoint you."

After speaking his piece, the figure on the other side of the call walked away, leaving it running, and the general sighed and turned it off and then looked at Cecelia next to himself with a worried expression. "Cecelia,"

"Sir, I have faith in you," She smiled at him. "I believe in your strength more than I believe in my identity as a Vatui; we will overcome this as well," She smiled at him, and Viktor nodded with his chin bouncing left and right and huffed.

"Then allow me to take the lead on this case, do as I say when I say without exemption, we will clear our names and get your head off the harvesting block.

"I've been thinking, General," Cecelia looked at the general drawing his and the pilot's attention.

"What is it?" He asked her gently, void of his usual harshness when he'd address her.

"If we manage to lose against him, against Sol Vestic, I know this is against the will of his majesty, but if you would sir, I would rather become your plaything than that of the Emporium, I would rather lose myself to your methods than those of the empire, it is a cruel way to lose myself-"

"Cecelia, you won't have to worry about anything like that. Don't even think about failure; I'm not allowing you to fall into anyone else's hands; that's my promise," the general scoffed and rested his hand on his sword. "Trust me won't you?"

"Of course, sir," she answered and closed her eyes. "With my everything."

"Good..."

Nekka was already gone; destroyed beyond recognition after Sol had released his hammer like a projectile and allowed it to crash into the suffering surface, just that small amount of pressure was an overburden that it could t withstand and it quickly ruptured from all the molten crevices, popping Luke and egg inside of a microwave and sending chunks scattered throughout the collective.

With the destruction of the outpost, Sol had eradicated nearly everyone else leaving only the most powerful captains and the general in the wake of his wrath as he had spared no attempt to hold his punches, no matter how hard he hit them and how far they flew he brought them right back to where the dwarf once was, resulting in their fight remaining relatively stationary despite it being a cataclysmic one of multi-galaxy proportions

"-do you hear me, general?" Viktor asked the general through her Comms. "Can you copy?" He asked.

"Sir, it's impossible; he's too powerful for me to keep contained; this is just impossible for me to accomplish even with the aid of the remaining forces that I have, she shook her head and raised her hands offensively as she prepared to fight Sol once more.

"He is too strong."
