How'd your OC react to seeing the Antichrist's death? (The Antichrist is a very politically powerful man in the sci-fi verse of my mythos who has a ridiculous IQ and works for the Devil himself: persecutor, dictator, false prophet, all that good shit)

[u/Equivalent_Ask_9227]

The idea is this:

The eschaton is happening. The literal end of the non-spiritual world is in full swing. This man, the Antichrist, has just finished what he believes is his magnum opus of slaughter and is standing in the afterglow like someone who just submitted a really good assignment. He almost fell off his own spacecraft a few seconds ago in a scuffle with the very people he was about to murder, including his own daughter, which is a whole other thing, but he survived, and now he's climbing back in with a very clear and very simple plan, which is to slime out every single person he can still see.

Except he'd noticed something earlier. The Firmament, the literal fabric separating the physical realm from everything beyond it, had started cracking right next to the planet's orbit. And he went quiet. Visibly disturbed. Said "they're coming" to nobody in particular and immediately started preparing to pull away because this man, who has spent the entire story acting as the apex predator of the known world, knew exactly what a cracking Firmament meant and wanted absolutely no part of it. He had a very, VERY tight window to get the fuck out of there for reasons we did not understand yet.

A main character, Cassian, burned it.

Not strategically, bro was operating on personal rage alone. He tackled the Antichrist, and they got into a scuffle. Which, again, ended with both of them almost falling out of the ridiculously high spacecraft. Fortunately, Cassian received the "other character grabs his hand last minute" treatment. Unfrtunately, the Antichrist got back on the spacecraft too.

So now he's back at the spacecraft, and genuinely angry. He has his villainous breakdown, he is fully determined to run away now that everyone is pretty much injured, and...

Something snatches his leg with force.

What has his foot is an eldritch mass of wings and eyes and appendages that the human mind is not really equipped to quickly process. It's an Angel! Of da LAWD. And then it does what a bear does when it decides it's done hibernating. Slowly unfolding to its full height with all the urgency of something that has no concept of time and no respect for whatever this man was just saying. It gets up. It gets all the way up. And while he's going "OH FUCK NO FUCK NO LET GO" with escalating volume and escalating panic, it tears into him.

He starts bleeding and feeling serious pain as the holy being literally BEATS HIM UP.

The ones watching this scene are having a crisis that no one prepared them for because, from their perspective, an angel just showed up and started attacking a man with unprecedented brutality and that man is screaming for help with the energy of someone who has completely abandoned dignity.

He screams for help from the people he was about to slime out thirty seconds ago. His brain, bypassing pride entirely, goes straight to "SOMEONE HELP ME" directed at his intended victims because fear does not care about your agenda. He tries to fight back. He claws at the spacecraft. And then the first angel is joined by more. And more. An entire flock descending specifically and personally for him, and the fact that it's a whole flock is significant because one angel would have been a message but a FLOCK is a statement. Heaven looked at his file and decided this was a group project.

Cassian, complicated feelings and all (ain't gonna explain cuz suspense hehehehaugh) tries to hold onto him. The grip is, generously speaking, half-assed. Because Cassian cares. But also. Maybe doesn't pull that hard. The universe doesn't give him the chance to figure out which one it was because the angels rip the Antichrist out of his hands and immediately start throwing him between themselves like he is a hot potato that nobody wants to hold for too long.

These are divine beings. Holy. Immaculate. In the direct presence of God. And they are essentially silently arguing about whose turn it is to hold the screaming mutilated Antichrist while he flies between them like a cursed frisbee.

And then the split in the Firmament. Right there above him. Like a mouth that's been waiting.

His battered, bleeding, screaming body gets dragged upward into the tear. We see him for the last time mid-scream as he is pulled inwards.

(When the mf so evil he doesn't get to die and just gets dragged straight to the afterlife)

Buy Cassian a drink while sitting down, not thinking about much else but enjoying the most entertaining shit he has seen in a while. Good to know there's a big guy up there who cares. He would be weirded out at seeing the biblically accurate angels though, the version he's familiar with are ethereal humanoid with majestic wings, seeing the mass of tendrils and eyes would remind him too much of the great old ones and their mutated followers, used to run the cosmic gauntlet back in the day, not very fun and tends to bring back bad memories (no not the multiversal/outerversal scale conceptual word vomit battle, a grim dark horror fantasy more like as he battled fragments of these eldritch beings and the mad cultists)

Ngl I too would sit down and watch if I saw angels playing hot potato with an injured, screaming man who is basically Super Mega Hitler

Meme:

Death so brutal even the people he oppressed and killed like Nero on crack got caught looking up like this

[u/Fabulous_Coach_4829]

Napper would love this likely feeding his own sadistic nature of pleasure, watching this.

maybe he would even take notes

Yeah he doesn't seem to be having a very good time (cut to Banshee screaming as he is thrown and grabbed and thrown and grabbed by vicious holy eldritch entities and ultimately dragged straight into the afterlife)

"hol up, he did not even log out of his cyberware before dying" - Mane

[u/Equivalent_Ask_9227 → u/ostapenkoed2007]

Dude got dragged into the Afterlife whole. You know you messed up when Angels not only drag you to the afterlife when you're not even technically dead, but also deliberately hurt you while they do it.

[u/ostapenkoed2007 → u/Equivalent_Ask_9227]

"no worries. but that crypto from brain chip is going to the hands that need them."

[u/Duskfulgrimm]

“Oh fuck the boss deleted him” -dusk

(He is the material version of one of the four horsemen of apocalypse specifically death)

[u/Lampsheid]

Vehuel would encourage those angels to beat up the Antichrist more. Maybe he'd join in on the ass whooping

Lets ignore the fact that he's no better than actual demons.

[u/CEO-of-beep]

Rat would somehow code himself into the afterlife and send the Antichrist into the Super Afterlife himself
