The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"A being capable of selling a child does not deserve the breath of the living-"

"Arla's declaration was interrupted by a wave of Dina's mana slamming into her back, it was unlike anything she had felt before; dense, and full of intent, it almost felt like the mage had self-destructed, the same wanr for the others who were near her, never facing any sort of power on this scale many of them shook, others cursed, while the majority just stared in awe as a great dome appeared on the horixon, somethinf so massive thzt they could neither see the top nor the sides.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"An explosion the size of a planet," Arla mused, that was Dina's [Incineration Maximum] in its full glory. "She might be struggling if she would risk deploying that technique on any surface, even if the planet is large, that is simply too reckless, Dina," Arla furrowed her brows and then looked at the man before her once more.

"That was caused by a person, not a ship?" Someone asked shocked after hearing Arla speak.

"That was Dina," Arla answered honestly. "Be glad I am the one dealing with you and not her; lady Ikaris's right hand has far less mercy than I do, she is less lenient, amd far more cruel," She huffed with a worried frown, watching the man fall.

"I am glad that the ones among you who are guilty are all Vatui, elsewise I would have had to apply similar measures to destroy the Godslayer's regenerative cells," Arla admitted.

"You speak of killing so casually, you are far too young to be so casual about taking a life, girl." The old Vatui woman approached Arla with her weapon lowered and her eyes sharp, she still would not trust Arla who was an outsider, but an ally was an ally, she did not need trust, she needed to know that they were on the same page; and at the moment; they were.

"I was born and raised in warring times," Arla aimed her hand at the falling Vatui.

"I was traded as a child, and I it was the efforts of strangers that saved me from my troubled childhood, but I lived the rest of my life afraid to even allow someone near me.

"I have seen nothing but death all my life, I have witnessed nothing but killing since the day I first opened my eyes, it doesn't matter if I am youngger than you are; a lifetime for any being is still a lifetime," She clasped her fist, locking her mana onto Kree as a sharp projectile whisled through the air and struck him in his forehead, immediately, his eyes reddened and he began gasping for air, stiffening as he fell.

"It was Master who rescued me from that trauma, he gave me what nobody else had managed to, it is his wish to end the Emporium, Milady is simply carrying out his will, and I am simply an extension of her body," Arla along witn everyone else watched the accused hit the ground as nothing but a pile of ashes.

"If I am told to kill everyone then I will do it without batting an eye," She looked at them again.

"He died painlessly, frightened, yes, but he felt nothing, it is a technique that robs you of all sensation and rapidly ages you from the inside out, it happens so fast that you can't feel it," She explained. Stay connected with empire

"I already know your names and faces, I will give you this one chance to approach me, if you try to run, if you attempt any form of attack, I will force pain on you so vile you will beg for death."

"Is she serious?" One person asked.

"You saw what she did to Kree, didn't you?"

"But who would willingly step forward and accept death at the hands of an outsider? There is no honour in dying such a death, even if it is painless, it is still terrifying!"

"Aye," One of the women on the front tilted her hover platform and approached Arla, keeping her hands raised and her gaze straight as she drew closer. "I confess, I have commited crimes against my people under the name of the Empire," She closed her eyes, handing her weapon to the elder who now stood by Arla.

"I will accept this judgement, it may be at the hands of someone we do not know, but while we cowered and did the unthinkable to survive this woman has still offered us a merciful death," She turned to the crowd.

"I am originally from the Khalla-Boris collective, my way here, I witnessed the trade off between high ranking members ofthe Emporium and those of the Resistance, to silence me they offered me merits, position, and immunity, had I chosen to refuse I would have likely been harvested, but I offered my own child to sweeten the deal without any incentives from either parties, I have lived in guilt and regret ever since.

"You have already made peace with your demise," The elder stared at her, showing both disgust and sympathy; for she was young, one would say too young.

"I have," She replied and looked at Arla, but to her and everyone else's shock Arla wasn't even paying attention, she was again looking inthe direction of Dina's fight, her eyes were wide and her hands trembling, she rarely showed them, but as she stood there suspended by her mana her fangs were revealed when her lips peeled back into a wide and almost maniacal smile.

"What are yo-"

"She has finally done it," Arla spoke, her voice had lost all the calm and warmth from before, it too reflected the madness they saw in her eyes and expressions. "Dina, you finally did it!" She turned her back to everyone staring with her arms alowly spreading while the sigils on her body began humming and exusing mana. "Marvellous!

I only wish I could see you with my naked eyes, you beautigul freak of nature!!" Arla began cackling as she stared at the message before her.
