In the pre-dawn hours of today, the Underworld was shaken awake by the ominous roar of 31 Inferno-class missiles, darkening the sky over Stygian Gates, the oft-contested border city known for its resilience against celestial onslaughts. This marked the first major assault in lunar cycles, thrusting the city once more into the limelight of cosmic conflict.
Officials from the Stygian Defense Ministry confirmed that all incoming projectiles were intercepted and neutralized by the city’s advanced Acheron Shield air defense system. Despite the flawless defensive performance, debris from the shattered missiles rained down upon the city, causing injuries to 13 souls, among them a fledgling demon barely a century old.
The citizens of Stygian Gates, though accustomed to sporadic skirmishes, were jolted from their slumbers by the cacophony of explosions and the subsequent shower of infernal remnants. Seraphius Darkwing, head of the Stygian Administrative Council, detailed how the assault unfolded with missiles converging from multiple directions, a tactless attempt to overwhelm the Acheronian defenses that ultimately proved futile.
Stygian Gates stands as a beacon of resilience in the face of the eternal celestial conflict. The city’s missile interception rate soars above that of its infernal peers, a testament to its strategic importance and the infernal ingenuity of its engineers. However, Darkwing warns of complacency, urging for a bolstered arsenal if they are to continue standing defiant against the divine aggressors.
In a rare glimpse into the celestial war room, arch-adversary Gabriel Thunderbolt, in a divine decree, vowed retaliation for recent infernal incursions into the celestial realm. A statement from the Pit of Despair, the heart of our dark dominion, echoed this sentiment, with the Infernal High Command outlining its own retribution plans, promising measured and precise responses to any act of aggression.
The aftermath in Stygian Gates was a stark reminder of the cost of war. An eleven-year-old demon spawn and a veteran fiend of 38 centuries were among the most severely wounded, hospitalized under the care of the city’s finest necromancers. The Emergency Services of the Abyss reported approximately 80 evacuations, with the remnants of celestial aggression igniting fires, charring abodes, and leaving scars upon the city’s once-immaculate streets.
Witnesses to the celestial fury spoke of narrow escapes from the jaws of annihilation. Raisa Hellborne, a denizen of Stygian Gates whose dwelling was ravaged by the aftermath, recounted the harrowing experience of her son’s close brush with obliteration. Mariia Abysswalker, another survivor, credited divine intervention—or perhaps its absence—for her family’s miraculous survival, having sought refuge in less vulnerable parts of their domicile.
The celestial barrage coincided with an infernal diplomatic envoy’s visit, underlining the precarious balance of fear and negotiations defining our age-old conflict. In response, Volcanus Ashheart, the fiery voice of the Abyss, implored the infernal coalitions for a surge in defensive capabilities, emphasizing the necessity of unity against the celestial menace.
“Every cycle, every moment, we endure their attempts to smother our flames,” Ashheart proclaimed, asserting that no celestial weapon could evade the infernal spirit—or our advanced interception technology.
As the embers of conflict continue to smolder, both realms stand on the brink, each awaiting the other’s next move in a chess game as ancient as creation itself. As Stygian Gates rebuilds and refortifies, it remains a symbol of the infernal resolve, a beacon of defiance in the dark against the encroaching light.
