Titans of the Current: Hands of God Edition

Part 10:2:1 Smiling Jack Assembly

"Luciere! Please tell me you are seeing this!"

It was horrendous, an atrocious vision."yes, Ba-al, I see it all too clearly. "

Looking down, I witnessed no roads, for they were packed with millions of soldiers. They were identical, no single unit's appearance varied from the next. Each one smiled, as though it knew nothing else but joy, and laughed at the sound of the intercom, feeding then the voice of their master.

Shit.. Here we go. What will it be this time, Zher?

"Ah yes, the parade! Are you suprised Jack? You should be, because it took me a very long time to create all these clones! I had to abandon my pride of making an exact replica of you, so I tweaked the genes and omitted your ability to copy others. On the other hand, they have an eighty percent control over gravity within an aria of a two meter radius. But I did not stop there!

Luciere! They have your ability to conduct energy and make it into their own! Whenever they are shot, hit, blown up, rammed, crushed, sliced, stabbed, or set ablaze, you have made them even more ferocious!

Vlad! These beast only feel joy, however they did take a lesson from the scion of wrath! They have your strength, and your bloodthirsty habits. A remarkable addition indeed!

Although I failed to collect proper samples from Belaphegor or the leviathan, I made up for it with Ba-al and his genes.

Their skin are lined with teeth, ready to gnaw and tear flesh from bone! They have an insatiable appetite, and are ready to feast! They have a rather unique internal structure. A spinal cord attached to a full-body nervous system ruins through every limb. And the only way to stop just over of them is by breaking all six of their spines. Unfortunately, it only takes a second to kill a shini or a gogori. Maybe you should run..

But you can't now, so enjoy yourself, and ask yourself this: was it worth it?

Hahahaha! "

"That sick fuck! Just wait till I sink my teeth into him!"

"Shut up Ba-al! That's what he wants us to do. His plan requires us to come after and fight him"

Ba-al punches the glass that makes up the ground we stand on. "Damnit! It's like he is one step ahead of us! Maybe Etrius is working with him."

There are too many maybes, too many uncertainties. Etrius wanted Alrach slain. At the same time, Derkeszher wanted him resurrected. Who's playing into who's hands...

"Ba-al, when did Buenos Aires become a circle?"

"Wherever the IAC stepped in."

"Let me reiterate. WHEN THE FUCK DID BUENOS AIRES BECOME A SOUL TRAP?"

"The fuck?"

I lifted Ba-al onto my wings and flew to the edge of the dome. I let him hang from my legs so he could witness that which I spoke of.

Sure enough.... A blood rune.

The circle barrier is a cover up to hide the streets. The streets are aligned into lines that evoke blood magic. More importantly, it clearly reads.

'Rise, and take these souls as your own'

Shit! He has is screwed royally! The streets are filled with soldiers. Beings made of flesh.. And of blood.

If a trail of blood connects itself through every street, then every person with a soul would be pulled into the spirit realm to feed Alrach!

"Look at the dome itself! It's a soul catcher rune!"
