Trazyn with a Soul

As the brutal war at the edge of the Solar System drew to a close, the vast war machine under Lox's command not only showed no sign of slowing down, but instead entered an even more frenzied phase of expansion.

Humanity had already tasted the sweetness of victory, and the feeling had even swept away the gloom brought by war and death.

Some of the more fanatical humans had even shouted arrogant declarations about pressing their advantage and repaying blood with blood.

Faced with these clearly unrealistic calls, Lox could only have the United Government do its best to calm them down.

After stripping the remaining, not-yet-destroyed databases and unique technologies, Lox gathered most of the wreckage of the Judgment of Doom and melted it down into a colossal celestial monument.

This monument, as vast as a celestial body, housed a matter-annihilation reactor capable of continuously broadcasting electromagnetic waves across various frequencies, loudly proclaiming its existence to the universe.

There was only one simple line of human text on the monument, along with a line of code written in binary.

Here the gods fell; humanity's light endures forever.

Any alien race entering the range of those electromagnetic waves could receive the message as long as its computers could perform the most basic decoding.

This was Lox and humanity's naked humiliation of the gods, their great enemy.

The Blade of the Gods, sent to punish humanity, had been defeated and remade into an eternal pillar of shame, yet it bore humanity's glory and fearlessness instead.
