At the start of the Maiuran War, the humans felt deep fear. They knew their enemy was terrifying, but at the same time, they believed they had made advances big enough to allow them to accomplish what no Volgrim world had done before. When the Kolvaxians ripped across Maiura, that fear intensified, but then it…
The Executors of the Volgrim Empire are all old monsters. That much could be easily ascertained by how powerful their psionics have grown over the eons, as well as the number of psionic disciplines they have mastered over their lives. Among the Executors, not one is a slouch, and each has their own specialization. However,…
True to his word, Sartran begins attacking the ordinary Kolvaxians with a ferocity unmatched by any of humanity’s current champions. His body blurs and flickers as he teleports from spot to spot, flinging ungodly powerful lightning blasts downward, atomizing Kolvaxians one after the other, quickly killing twenty of them in less than a minute. Beelzebub,…
Uriel gazes up at the singular levitating Kolvaxian, a foreboding premonition bubbling behind her eyes. As the ordinary Kolvaxians charge at her, she flaps her wings and leaps into the air, soaring well out of their reach. At the same time, the Psiovaxian flies directly at her while summoning an energy field formed from Primal…
Inside Chrona, Jason Hiro alternates between watching the Maiuran War unfold via the Spynet Sphere, and traveling into his warehouse to take care of several important side projects. Even if the battle on Maiura concludes in just one realspace day, that’s still 250 Chrona-days Jason can spend productively working on multiple projects to enhance his…
The Northern Battlefield collapses. With only Hope and a platoon of ordinary Legionnaires available to battle the rapidly growing number of Kolvaxians, they simply cannot contain the Plague’s spread. Hope tries. He really does. But it doesn’t matter. Even though the Second Wordsmith is one of humanity’s Champions, he is not a Cosmic. He can…
Belial’s Wordsmithium armor covers her entire body, leaving only the smallest gaps at her joints. Nanites rush in to fill those gaps anyway, protecting her from any poisons, toxins, or other airborne contagions that might otherwise threaten her. Her armor weighs in at more than 250 kilos, but for a Demon Emperor as strong as…
In terms of singular offensive power, humanity’s strongest soldier is without a doubt Lord Henry Cliff, leader of Jepthath’s Legion. Perhaps Demon Emperor Belial could fight him to a standstill or even overpower him, but neither have tested that possibility yet. In terms of combat versatility, humanity’s two greatest combatants are the Wordsmiths. Jason and…
The battle intensifies on Maiura’s surface. As minutes pass, more and more Kolvaxians continue to appear, but what worries humanity’s military the most is an unnerving discovery they make early on; a discovery that goes beyond their calculations. "What do you mean ‘it just appeared’?" Neil asks, bewildered. "It teleported in front of you?" "Yes."…
The Plague makes landfall on Maiura, but contrary to the expectations of the demons and the Volgrim, the human species does not immediately fold and descend into chaos. Utilizing the unique abilities of their Heroes, including both Wordsmiths, all the entities within the Hall of Heroes, and Hope’s children, the humans themselves begin activating a…
