The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Hell is too nice of a place for scum like you!" Sol smiled warmly at the man, and a second later he disappeared from sight, but before he did there was a flash of golden light and a foreboding feeling, as if all the mana in the atmosphere had been sucked into a vortex.

"What was that?"

"An artifact." Sol turned to Grecia, holding out his palm and revealing a small golden tesseract humming with mana. "It is called the Nightmare Prism; it brings bad people to a place where they are cursed with immortality and subjected to unspeakable horrors, unending and unforgiving." Sol explained.

"He will spend the rest of eternity unable to escape, unable to lose his sanity, tortured by whatever he fears the most with no means of fighting back all while his pain and perception grow stronger, it is not enough for what he did to you, but at least this will serve as a discipline." Sol stared at her seriously, resting his hand on her head and shaking his.

"Grecia, I would have rather not handled it, but if I hadn't done that I would have caused a scene destroying a half of this palace to teach him a lesson, but all that aside..." Sol paused and hugged the woman's head to his chest. "I am sorry, about all of it, the world is cruel to those who deserve it the least."

"Master, what will you do with her?" Fuhua asked, standing attentively as she stared at the crying woman, she did see Grecia as beautiful, but when she thought of the Goddess of Balance that was her Master's wife, every other woman seemed lesser, herself included, Ikaris was above it all, truly superior.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Good question," Sol stood to the side and gestured to his seat. "Grecia."

"Yes, my Lord."

"You can fight, yes?"

"I..."

"There is no need to lie, you are already under my care." Sol assured her with a smile, while Bao'er nodded, smiling as well.

"I am a Warrior of the Vatui Clan, Thanasis." She looked at him.

"Is that the whole truth?" Sol narrowed his eyes at her. "I need your complete honesty Grecia, tell me who you are." He demanded.

"I am ashamed to say it, my Lord, my life to this point has been a lie, I do not deserve the titles I have hidden, nor do I deserve to return to my people, I bring shame to their noble name."

"Noble?" Bao'er asked surprised.

"Master's wife you see..." Fuhua mumbled to the friendly hostess. "She is royal of the highest degree, merely speaking her name casually in his presence could incite his wrath, he protects her with ferocious abandon, as she does him and his name."

"Are you saying Lord vestic is actually... a King?" Bao'er asked, almost choking when thinking of how casually she had been speaking to him.

"King of all the heavens, that is his title back home, you're lucky he has a rather laid back personality." Fuhua snickered. "By the way, I, his first disciple; am also the princess of a different land, and the little girl is a one in a billion genius and also his beloved neice, not even I can afford to offend her, you cannot afford the price of offending either of us~"

"O-oh god..."

"Tell me," Sol demanded of the woman, ignoring Fuhua's conversation with Bao'er.

"I am Grecia, first daughter of the Thanasis Clan's House of Eternity, my family was suppressed by the Empire and there is currently a law that prevents my people from marrying each other, so I was forced into this life as an alternative, but after my first husband died and I suffered such a shameful experience I decided to never return to them, I trusted Cidd would make me happy..." She rubbed her eyes.

"House of Eternity... have I seen that somewhere before?" Fuhua cupped her chin in thought.

"If you have been reading like I told you to then yes, the House of Ikaris was first known as the House of Eternity, it is the Alias of the King's Lineage, he renamed it Ikaris after his daughter of the same name was born." Jena answered. "This proves without a doubt that this woman is indeed related to Milady, she is a blood relative to the Goddess of Balance."

"Ikaris... I have heard that word on my mother's tongue in the past, she spoke it bitterly..." Grecia spoke up after hearing the name several times and remembering.

"Who is Ikaris?"

"If my guess is right, you are her relative; her half-sister." Sol answered, staring at outside of the windows in wonder. "I'm shocked, this diverts fairly far from my original goals, I came searching for the aid of A Primordial Deity and I end up discovering a family tree, an elder sister..." He stared at her and then very carefully took a knee at her side and softly grasped her right hand.

"Let me start anew, your Grace." Sol smiled, placing a kiss on Grecia's hand and paying respects to her.

"I am Sol Vestic, Godslayer and Overseer of all Vatui, King of the Heavens, and Ruler over The Grey, I am married to your younger half Sister, Ikaris of the house of Eternity, now named Ikaris after her, The Goddess of Balance and Queen of the Heavens," He delivered their full titles.

"Do you wish to return to your people and deliver the news that the house of Eternity thrives?" Sol asked, expecting her to jump at the opportunity, but to his surprise the woman shook her head in the negative.

"To those left behind, the House of Eternity died the day I as their first daughter left, you would not be welcomed, nor would I, Your Excellence," Grecia smiled sadly. "If possible though, I would love to meet my sister and her people; to see a world where Vatui are not suppressed and abused, but thrive as we were meant to."

"Good luck there... the House of Ikaris barely has any living members after an ironic eternity of wars against the Emporium and its hosts." Jena spoke sarcastically, staring at the ceiling. "It seems time has brought ruin to both sides, clearly hitting one harder than the other."

"If you don't desire to return, then I'll take you with me, naturally, I will not leave you to suffer as you have in the past." Sol stood, watching her take a knee before him with his hand in hers, reversing their roles from earlier.

"Then I will pledge allegiance to you, Your Highness, from this day forth, I Grecia, swear on my soul to follow your every directive, I will grant you my total and undying loyalty, whatever you ask of me will be executed without hesitance, until I draw my last breath, I will be an extension of your body and of your noble house," She declared, sucking in a breath when she felt that stinging connection tugging at her suppressed power again.

The air in the room became chilled, and a white light began humming to Grecia's pulse as it arose from her hands connected to Sol's while he stared at her with a smile and rested his other hand on her head.

"I accept your loyalty and service, Grecia, from today onwards, you will be a member of the Vestic family line, treat my name well and your rewards will be bountiful."

"I swear it!" Grecia shut her eyes tightly as more tears flowed, sucking in a sobbing breath and shivering at the warmth of his mana when it engulfed her. "Thank you..." She lowered her head again. "I thank you...!"

"Master has a way of attracting powerful women into his service. "Jena sighed, smiling. "She is Milady's elder sister, you are unaware of noticing because you are still too weak to see her power, but this woman is nearly as powerful as the Goddess of Balance was the last time I saw her, considering what Ikaris had to go through in order to gain that much power I can only assume she has seen her fair share of trauma and been through twice if not thrice as much."

"How strong are they, exactly?" Fuhua looked at Jena at her side while Bao'er opposite of them stared in awe at the little girl who seemed to hold the secrets and answers to everything.

"In terms of raw power alone..." Jena closed her eyes for a few seconds. "Ikaris holds enough mana stored in her soul to detonate and destroy an entire collective, that is to say, source is a rather large one compared to the ones mother investigated, her total power would wipe out more than half of source before it was exhausted." Jena explained.

"To put it another way, if the Goddess of Balance was rampaging she could easily obliterate several stars like the Diamond Dust Star before she was stopped, I am saying Grecia is easily capable of doing the same with the power she currently holds." Jena hummed, blinking several times.

"Master's power by comparison is thousands of times that, Vatui Royalty are terrifyingly powerful," The three of them stood, watching Sol pull grecia to her feet and rest his hand on her shoulder with another assuring smile.

"But even with all the power they hold, Master is still the one they decided to follow, unanimously so; the Godslayer Known as Sol Vestic is King across all realms for a reason."
