I felt my entire body shaking slightly, as I reeled from the appearance of yet another dark presence in my mind. When I ‘died’ during my battle with Satan, the curse mark lost its power on my face, though the scar persists. My clones, for some reason, never had the curse mark, so I was…
Dosena seemed quite impressed by what I had done. As she and her fellow Volgrim looked around, I could almost taste an intangible feeling of defeat that had changed into something more akin to acceptance. "To be the loser in a battle, and then have the winner give us a ‘prison’ like this… you do…
It took me a moment to regain my composure, but my mental state was very traumatized. The AI in my helmet kept giving off preliminary counts of survivors and those presumed deceased and it was starting to really irritate me, but I stuck with it. Fifteen billion angels and gods survived. Sixty billion died. The…
" Immunity." Right after Satan left, I had finally gotten my bearings and realized that one of the two Volgrim had blasted me with a massive telepathic attack. Using my wordsmithing, I quickly gave myself protection from her telepathy, wondering why I didn’t think of doing that first. Of all things, a telepathic attack was…
I arrived just in time to see Satan locked in mortal combat with three clones, as well as Gabriel, Zeus, and Raphael. Of course, Satan wasn’t alone. Aiding him were two of his demon generals, ones I didn’t recognize, but who my latent telepathy identified as Diablo and Bael. Bael was one big son of…
"What are you playing at, old man? Do you want to fight?" I eyed the aged demon carefully. Despite his looks, I’d learned in the past that things were not always what they seemed. Remembering a certain crocodile and how he had shattered my expectations brought a rather nostalgic memory to mind. Still, even as…
I am old. Very old. Not as old as the archangels, or even the gods, of course, but still exceedingly old. I lived through the wars of the second era, and the third era, and now hundreds of eras later as well. I have seen many things, and I have killed many with my own…
The officers on board the Explorer-class ship, Excelsior, were prepping for their first voyage, as the crew of 1,200 shifted to and fro, gearing up for their launch in just a few hours. Only a few days ago, the EPS (Earth Protective Shield) was completed and came online, and the offensive fleet that was to…
Satan kept his expression even as he walked down the hallways, leading the five Founders of the Volgrim, along with their hundred elite Royal Guards down the twisting and meandering pathways of his labyrinth. Over the last decade, he had furiously expanded it, adding many more lodgings and accommodations to keep the Volgrim available for…
Words are easy. Everyone has words they like to use. Anyone can think of words to use in a comeback. The problem is not a lack of words, it’s almost always a time constraint. When I look back on battles I’ve fought in the past, whether against Volgrim or Demon, if ever I had a…
