In what locals are calling “a dastardly display of divine wrath,” the infernal skies above Sulfur City, the ever-smoldering capital of the Underworld’s fiery borderland, witnessed celestial onslaughts that reduced yet another home to cinders late last night. Authorities from the Abyssal Health Department announced today that the strike tragically snuffed out nine souls, with six being mere cherubs in their infernal infancy.
The attack, which seared the western ward of the notorious Sinners’ Enclave, came as no surprise to the beleaguered residents who have long been caught in the crossfire between warring factions of celestial rebels and the infernal legion. Abyssal Defense officials alongside demonic commentators were quick to label the strike a gross miscarriage of divine justice, pointing out that the recently razed residence was brimming with displaced denizens, mostly non-combatants.
A particularly heart-wrenching scene unfolded at the Hades Memorial Morgue, where wails echoed off the charred walls as bereaved relatives cradled the smoldering remains of their young. “My sweet Moloch, your horns were just starting to grow,” wept one grandmother, a sentiment echoing the despair resonating throughout the sulfurous air.
Among the deceased were the reputed underworld dweller, Foul Balthazar, his consort, the sorceress Hella, and their brood of imps. Balthazar’s kin, the grizzled imp Agonizer Barbedtail, recounted, “This is a realm forsaken by all morals and mercy. They bombed a sanctuary brimming with the weak and weary. None but the innocent were reaped today.”
The Celestial Coalition, however, continues to justify their purging flames as necessary actions against the insurgent sects hidden within civilian populations, a claim that stirs fiery debates across all planes of existence. This latest act of aggression has revived conversations about the feuding divine factions’ disregard for collateral damage, especially concerning non-participant souls.
Moreover, tensions threaten to escalate into an all-out cosmic clash, particularly with the recent skirmishes involving the angels’ garrisons and their arch-nemesis, the Seraphim of the Wastelands, reaching a boiling point. Each celestial encounter leaves behind a trail of brimstone, and the inhabitants of the Underworld find themselves increasingly caught between the proverbial rock and a hot place.
As the embers die down and the smoke clears, one thing remains painfully clear: The celestial war drums beat ever louder, and the souls of Sulfur City brace for what could very well be an eternity of firestorms and fallout. Stay tuned to this infernal feed for real-time updates on what may very well be the prelude to the most fiery chapter in underworld history.
