Belial struggles against the dreamlike restraints binding her to a table. Despite her deity-like strength and ability to shatter demonstone with her bare hands, once trapped inside of Lucifer’s Demonic Trance, no amount of physical power will avail her. The slab holding Belial prisoner levitates vertically, allowing her to watch as a giant, open field…
Beneath the surface of the Earth, a man in an exosuit calmly walks past the badly beaten figures of two dozen demon grunts, yet another pair of Demon Lords, and three orcs. His faceless figure causes shivers to run down their backs as they replay the moment the seemingly inferior human struck them down and…
Belial dives toward Lucifer. She hits the ground with a roll and props herself up on her palms, then uses her legs to deliver multiple kicks at unexpected angles. The Emperor of Providence gets forced onto the backfoot by her attacker’s superior leg-strength, making her use both of her upper arms for defense while her…
Creeeeak. The prison door marked ‘Forbidden’ slowly opens. Its ancient, rusted hinges squeal as if suffering from arthritis. Two commandos step into the room and swivel their guns toward a dark corner. "What in the name of-?!" The first trooper shouts in shock. His eyes fixate on the figure laying on her side, curling against…
Jason pauses at the edge of the anti-magic bubble surrounding Faith’s End. While his eyes easily peer forward into the darkness, aided heavily by the improved visual sensors in his exosuit, his omnivision completely vanishes at the bubble’s edge, unable to penetrate it.

A small army, 5,000 strong, consisting of male and female humans, monsters, and even a few scattered demons, makes their way into the Labyrinth. Led by humanity’s Hero, the Wordsmith, they begin a tactical assault on the unsuspecting Labyrinthian denizens while slowly and steadily advancing toward the halls of Faith’s End, Hell’s primary prison. Jason…
An endless blackness stretches out in all directions. Darkness. A void encompassing the spectrum of infinity, beyond the sight of any mere mortal. So vast is its scope that if one had an eternity, they could never comprehend the possibility of it lacking a border. In this vast void, a single figure hangs, unmoving. Beelzebub….
Ten hours later, Jason and Phoebe finish assembling a small but lethal army of humanity’s remaining elite commandos, few as they are. After explaining the situation to them, the Hero ends up with General Chadwick, Lieutenant Samuel, Corporal Hurent, Belial, and even Yamir, the minotaur cook. In addition to these leaders, five thousand human commandos…
Elsewhere in the cosmos, on the planet Tarus II. A midday sun hangs atop the horizon, warming the planet to a comfortable spring-time temperature. Humans, monsters, and a few scattered demons work together to rebuild the ruins of the former Hero City, now named the Fortress of Retribution. While some haul away broken rubble, others…
Despite the relative weakness of Uriel’s Golems, their sheer quantity allows them to outnumber the less-than half-dozen Emperors present by fifty-to-one. With Gorn and Fenrir dead, only Lupus, Wolfram, and Yardrat remain on the battlefield, while the two Ancient Orcs directly combat Uriel. Serena keeps her distance, since her abilities don’t allow her to directly…
