The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Just so we are clear on the hierarchy of power that has been investigated and established thus far, the grades are as follow:" Sol sat in his study, Sara was in his chair with her pen at the ready listening intently, while he was in the larger seat to the side holding Talia and staring out the window after just witnessing the explosive conclusion to Ikaris's fight against the Eighth General of the Emporium; Lars.

"Normal consists of those who are as the title indicates; normal," He began.

"The next on the list is surely the Gifted, whether they are capable of blockwide or city-wide destruction, they are only gifted at best."

"Above the Gifted, there is Apex; beings who are the peak of their species in one or more regards, they excel to threats capable of destroying countries, continents, and depending on the type of power they wield, small worlds."

"Scaling even higher than the Apex are Cosmic beings, those who defy the very heavens; they can venture into the unknown and manipulate powers beyond the fathom of regular individuals, they surpass the limits of mortality."

"The greater evolution is that of a Demigod, a planetary being of disproportional power easily capable of shattering stars, solar systems, and in severe cases, they can scale to multi-galaxies with ease and beyond like Dina was capable of."

"Higher than Demigods are Divines themselves, beings who can access a higher dimension of power and through exertion, destroy an entire universe, this is where the higher echelon Arkadian gods comfortably rest."

"Celestial is where the tiers begin to make less and less sense, as there are beings as Celestials capable of feats hard to fathom let alone imagine, The seven Arkadian Kings and Queens for instance are all Celestial-Grade entities, with the most powerful; Their leader, the Goddess of War, Dr'ul, capable of small multiversal destruction and possessing terrifying reality-ending power at her disposal."

"Then there is Ikaris as an example, I have no idea where on the list her power was before, but as of this instant, she is undoubtedly the higher tier, she is a Celestial Divine, a god above gods so to speak, or a true god, her powers have evolved to scale an entire Collective, she has insurmountable strength and powers that defy creation, and just for a moment she was able to break into the greater power resting above her..." He looked at Sara who had an expression of disbelief while she neatly and quickly wrote every word he said, effortlessly keeping pace with his speech.

"What of you, master?" The Maid asked him, pausing from her calligraphy and looking at his expression which showed uncertainty deep within his eyes. "If milady is of the Celestial-God realm, and you are many times her superior, then what realm do you find yourself in?" She questioned him, and Sol sighed and looked to the window again.

"We have been throwing these titles around willy-nilly for a while now, but there are indeed higher levels, exponentially stronger than a Celestial Divine by leaps and bounds is A True Primordial, as of this moment I think this is where I am firmly situated, I can destroy an entire Collective if I need to, and beyond that I can wage war against the entire Grand Collective by myself, it is doubtful I would win against someone else of my tier which I am sure exists, with the existence of beings like Lumi also being True Primordials I have no faith I could fight an army of those, not to mention the results of such a war would leave no other being alive."

"Are you saying you are now able to defeat Lumi?" Sara looked up from the book at him once more and Sol nodded with a smile.

"Just recently, I became sensitive to her power, her location, her limits, I can sense every emissary of light the moment they look my way, I can tell who amongst them is the strongest, and I can determine who among them I can defeat with ranging difficulties," He declared, and for a moment the mansion shook after his words as the Emissaries which usually spied on him became wary and thought of attacking to cleanse what was clearly a threat to their existence, but just a sigh of mana from his nostrils quieted them all.

"As of this moment, I am beyond their control."

A bead of sweat rolled down his cheek when he finished speaking, and for a few seconds Sol hesitated and wondered if such a thing was truly possible. "Sir?"

"I'm fine," He answered Sara and without a spoken word the maid looked to her texts again at everything she had written and the pattern they followed. "Next," Sol sucked in a breath and looked out into the Khalla-Nova collective again. "Primordial Divinity," He spoke, and at his assessment the Emissaries investigating him all paused and turned their attention to him.

"Amongst the Emissaries there is not a single one of these, to my knowledge there is only one being who is; as of this moment a true Primordial God, and that is the one who allies herself with Umbra, the darkness which shelters and hides him from me, when I reached Lumi's range of power I became sensitive to her presence as well, I feel her power every waking moment, as if she is daring me to defy her she stares into the depths of my soul and strips me down to the bone with her gaze, I do not fear her, but I find her power suffocating, I don't know how anything could ever be that strong and I don't know if any other being could be stronger."

"Master, what of The Beginning, or Mana?" Sara asked after Sol seemed to conclude.

"They are not entities, the same as Creation is a concept and not an entity which can be scaled.

"They exist, but not as a reaction, we all exist as a reaction to them; Mana is essence of soul, Creation; the concept of life, and The Beginning is a host which binds realities together, they all are, and will still be, even at the end of Eternity, when all that remains of us are whispers in the cosmos."
