Dina stared at this for a few seconds longer than she meant to with several beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks and forehead from the intense heat of Ikaris\'s earlier attack, and then she looked at Ikaris\'s back again. "H-Hey... Ikaris, did you know about all this?"
"Know what?" Ikaris asked, watching Saleos\'s rapid and destructive return through the flames.
"My current status." Dina shook her hand comically in front of herself.
"Of course I did, the first thing I did when the system returned was check your status, and Arla\'s, I...
Am reserved to admit that he feels this way, but I also understand that he cannot go against his nature as a man..." Ikaris stepped into the blazing flames and took off like a bullet, causing Dina out of compulsion to fly after her while Arla who had been a little distance behind her took a moment to check her own status.

[An added bonus of being marked as the slave of the Godslayer; your body has been reconstructed anew, your purity has been returned Dear Arla] the system alerted her again and then went silent.
"D-d-devout L-lover!?" The newly realised Grand Elf hid her face in her palms and fell into a crouch shuddering as her cheeks reddened and her eyes glazed over with slight emerald magic while her pupils dilated. "Does this mean... he accepted me, but... Ikaris..." Arla released a long sigh and slumped to her knees.
"Are you I\'ll?" Gadriel came running toward her.
"Hm?" Arla raised her head and looked over her shoulder at the goddess. "No, Lady Gadriel, I am most certainly not."
"You do not look well though, and why are you crying?" Gabriell came after her sister and reached out to Arla.
"I cannot stop these tears-"
"Then someone indeed hurt you!" Gadriel snapped, but it was her younger sister who slapped her and shook her head.
"This must be a personal matter, mayhaps she is pregnant and has just realised, I can feel her happiness."
"Pregnant?" Arla blushed and fell to the ground again. "A-absolutely not! I have never been touched by master in that way!" She shook her head and hid her face in her palms once more, her fantasies though were interrupted when she sensed dangers on the approach.
Without even casting a circle she raised her hands before her and the two goddesses along with herself vanished just before the ground they stood on erupted into white flames when Ikaris crashlanded and bounced back to her feet, wiping blood from her nose and slamming her fists together.
"Are you okay?" Dina swerved around and landed next to her, and after a glance Ikaris nodded and stood upright again.
"Aye, it is evident that he is many times stronger than Sitri, the current power I hold would have been nigh equal to hers." Ikaris quickly ran her hand across her hair creating a crown across her forehead, to get it out of her eyes.
"I definitely have the firepower to kill him though, it is a matter of gaining the opportunity to." She admitted, watching Saleos land before them, unscathed and crackling his neck as his torn up shirt hung from his shoulder revealing a large mouth in his abdomen full of jagged teeth and a barbed purple tongue.
"Have you two realised yourselves now?" Ikaris asked upon Arla\'s return to her left while Dina stood on her right and stood was ahead of them.
"You are strong, do not limit yourselves to the power you previously held by thinking otherwise, I have already relocated the others to somewhere safer, so together, let us destroy the last descendant of Void!" She took the first step while Saleos conjured another blunt weapon and did the same.
"No god has ever!" The demon-god blocked Ikaris\'s initial flurry of fast melee attacks and dodged the last punch spinning around her hand and swinging his weapon intent on breaking her skull, but an inversion of his hands gravity caused him to throw his hand upward instead, leaving his ribcage wide open for Ikaris who spun with a roar and delivered a devastating blow that bent him around her fist as the ground began tearing open similar to what Sol had done to Sitri which caused the nigh destruction of Arkadia.
"Gravitational magic?" Arla stared at Dina who had used [invert] on Saleos.
"Let\'s keep at it, he might lose his shit like his sister did and try destroying everything to save himself, we have to kill him before that!" Dina nodded at Arla, and the Elf nodded back while they chased after him behind Ikaris who had already caught up to his cascade and stopped his momentum with an axe-kick that opened a hole, revealing an evacuation cavern under the entire continent which housed everyone that was supposed to be on top.
"Hoo~" Ikaris breathed, looking beneath her at Saleos who was shocked at just how effective her attacks were, in terms of potent power, he was still stronger, but when it came to quantify and raw power she had he was a less than a baby in her eyes, even without the help of the others Ikaris could fight him for years with the reserves she possessed thanks to Sol and that is without saying she only had a single percentage of her overall output, which meant her current strongest attack was 0.1% the power of her most casual attack at full power, every time she hit him it felt as if his life shortened from just the rattling of his brain, this made him furious.
The demons in the bottom of the bustling and shaking cavern stared upward at the hole that had loudly imploded, although it was a mile wide for the entire continent it seemed like a small dot in the black sky had appeared.
Soon though, that dot erupted in white flames and quickly began spreading along the ceiling as Ikaris imbued every blow against Saleos with enough power to tear moons apart casually, causing him to scream and tremble as his bones began bending under her weight.
"INCINERATION MAXIMUM!" Ikaris halted her descent, and used Dina\'s barrier behind her as a foothold, tearing it apart when she leapt downwards at him, slamming her palm in his abdomen and releasing an even larger explosion than the first one.
"Fuuuuck meee!!" Dina crossed her hands when the white flames crashed into the cavern and spread like a tsunami had spawned, killing everything below the demon-god and sending him ripping through the floor of it and then folding on itself and heading up toward them.
As the cavern was completely filled Ikaris appeared on the outside thanks to Arla\'s teleportation, and crossed her hands. "Still not enough, I have to raise my output beyond the threshold." She frowned, staring through the flames at Saleos healing the wound on his stomach and standing in a pit of magma as he stared back at her.
"I need to raise it far beyond the current threshold!" Ikaris lowered her hands and began seeking tearing down the walls that created her limiters in the first place. "I need the two of you to keep him steady." She looked to her sides, and without another word Arla started floating upward, smirking.
She extended her hands downwards, and formed a triangle with her fingers, concentrating her mana into one focal point as the system alerted her.
"Is that-?"
