The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Nothing but lies fabricated in your head, if you couldn\'t even keep the most basic promise as a goddess how could you possibly keep any other kind!?" Sol roared, looming over Ikaris who knelt before him weeping, bitterly. "An entire life built on nothing but lies; your existence itself is a lie..."

"Please, Master, do not say such cruel words-"

"Don\'t ever call me by that title; don\'t ever refer to me at all."

"I am your slave, I have been loyal in your service ever since you defeated the Demon-God, Master-"

"As if I would ever be master to the likes of you, cheating, lying, cowardly bitch, Ikaris, I hate you more than I\'ve hated anything else in my entire life, after what you put me through on Atla what the fuck would ever make me accept you as a slave?

I don\'t even want to see your disgusting face." Sol stared at her, eyes burning crimson and his brown hair fanning around his head as his scarred body shook from anger.

"You\'re still stronger than I am, you\'re still the goddess, so if you care about anything I say at all just leave; leave and never return, don\'t ever show your face before me again."

"What about Talia, and-"

"I said go!" Sol roared summoning his cursed blade and driving it through her stomach. "That abomination is no child of mine!"

Ikaris screamed out flailing and forced herself to heal as hers and Sol\'s eyes locked onto each other. "Like Jun and the others did... just die; just disappear forever!"

"No!" Ikaris leapt backwards, slamming through the wall and creating a path of destruction as she ripped a trench across the estate in a panic stopping in the front yard as her eyes burned crimson and her breath came out wildly, the roots of her hair had become white and her canines had grown into fangs.

"Ikaris!" Sol came running after her, but as soon as she saw him she panicked and attempted to run off again, but with speed superior to anything he\'d ever accomplished before Sol caught her arm and hugged her onto himself sinking to his knees and holding her arms against her body when she began screaming to the skies waking not just the neighbours but the entire country and the land shook and the skies screamed with her.

Thunderstorms rolled, appearing out of nowhere and volcanoes threatened to explode as she walked and tried escaping his grasp.

"Ikaris..." Sol held on to her. "Calm down, tell me what happened," Sol spoke calmly while she tried her hardest to escape his grasp, but he had utilized the fullest of his powers to keep her under control and prevent the earth from shattering as he held her in an isolated space while Dina and Arla, and then Keele rushed to them, with Sara arriving last holding onto Talia.

"Come on, feel it in, I\'m right here!" Sol locked his legs around her waist and held on tighter when she began overexerting her powers causing the world to shudder when a crack appeared across the small sphere he held her in.

"That\'s fucking enough, Ikaris, stop it!" Sol roared out in frustration, cranking the [control] of their slave contract all the way up to the maximum and causing her sigils to light ablaze and burn her flesh, but in the wake of that burning sensation Ikaris froze and looked around at him, and then at Talia who was crying in Sara\'s arms; her eyes flickered and returned to normal, and her hair became black again as the heat of her sigils dissolved and she spun and tackled him to the ground, crying even harder than before as all her powers were violently suppressed to the point that not even Sol could sense them.

"Master, I\'m sorry!" Ikaris rubbed her face in Sol\'s shirt hugging him as if the world had ended. "I\'m so sorry, I promise, I\'ll be good, I won\'t ever betray you, I won\'t ever abandon you, I love you, I adore you, I worship you...!" She cried out again, losing all her strength and slumping against him, falling into deep sleep as if she hadn\'t been awake at all.

"... What the fuck happened?" Dina spoke up after several minutes had passed and Ikaris released a light snore snuggling against Sol who was still so shocked by what had happened that he hadn\'t moved from their spot on the ground, he slowly used his powers to walk through her memories of every interaction she ever had with him but nothing in there had caused this.

"Why was she so frightened, why is she so sad?" Dina asked and Sol slowly looked up at Arla and her, finding streams of tears as they shared in Ikaris\'s shock and sadness. "Master, did you say something to her?"

"No," Sol replied briefly. "She suddenly leapt out of the bed screaming and went wild, I think... she was having a nightmare," His voice had an unusual weight to it that caught Dina off-guard. "I\'ve never seen her like this before."

"Should we wake her before she has another?" Arla suggested, but Sol refused the idea, shaking his head and staring at her. "Then...?"

"Let\'s get back inside," Sol waved his hands and all the damage Ikaris had caused was reverted in an instant as the world went quiet again in the face of a calm sunrise on the approach with the skies turning indigo.

"Okay," Dina turned to everyone else and started ushering them back inside, the world was quiet, even the birds that usually sang that time of the morning had gone still. Your adventure continues at m v|l-e\'-NovelBin.net

"Master," Ikaris mumbled as she slowly opened her eyes, reaching for his face and tearing up again after waking in his lap. "Are you still mad at me?" She asked and Sol furrowed his brows at her. "Will you forgive me?"

"Ikaris, you had a pretty bad nightmare earlier, you-"

"It was no nightmare, Master," She rebutted, flinching away from his hand when he attempted to caress her cheek, then leaning into his touch when she saw the shock on his face. "Do you forgive me, Master?" She asked again, and Sol sucked in a breath of patience and leaned over her, kissing her forehead and then raising her into a hug. "Please, I\'m sorry."

"Ikaris," Sol held her tightly, feeling the waves of sadness she was emitting through their link while Dina and Arla sat quietly across from them. "Tell me what happened."

"You were yelling, and cursing me, you said awful things Master," She held him tighter. "You... attacked me,"

"Ikaris, we were all there, he didn\'t attack you-" Dina arose to Sol\'s defence, but Arla held her mouth and rested her hand on Dina\'s shoulder, pointing at her now slightly exposed back where Sol\'s eyes widened in disbelief when he saw a healed stab wound, a small irritated cut in the shape of a blade.

"I..." Sol stared at the mark in disbelief. "That\'s the cursed blade..." He stared at it. "I never bothered retrieving it after my fight with Orion, I haven\'t seen it in over a year, how could... what the-" Sol was at a loss of words as he searched his mind, closing his eyes and searching Origin. "It isn\'t there anymore; it\'s not in the dark universe, how?"

"Where is it then?" Dina asked, equally confused since she was sure with every atom of her being that Sol would never raise his hand against Ikaris let alone stab her with the blade holding Atla\'s malice.

"I don\'t know, I\'m searching but it doesn\'t seem to be anywhere within the observable collective, it\'s like it doesn\'t exist," Sol held out his hand and his hair and eyes turned golden and began shining brightly. "I can sense it, but I have no idea where the sword is... and it won\'t respond to me!"

"Master," Ikaris held his arm and lowered it. "Please, do not summon that thing," she made a request and Sol\'s arm sunk. "All I seek is your forgiveness, for what I did, for leaving you and causing you so much pain."

"What the hell is going on here?" Dina furrowed her brows and scratched her hair wildly. "This is fucked up, what\'s happening?" She asked.

"I was sleeping, the two of us were, but then she started mumbling in her sleep, the next thing I know her powers flared up and she tore a hole through the wall running away, it happened in the blink of an eye," Sol answered. "I didn\'t curse her, I didn\'t attack her, I\'d never do anything to harm her; I don\'t know what\'s happening here either," Sol shook his head.

"Ikaris," he raised her and let her sit properly before him. "Tell me everything that happened as clearly as you remember it; start from the beginning."
