The situation on Earth was a huge chaotic mess that had spiraled completely out of anyone's control.
Ancients walked the planet, while the once rarely-seen Hegemons and Emperors went all out in killing each other in almost every corner. Kings… literally became a dime a dozen, doing all sorts of grunt work everywhere.
Some were hunting for Shadow Parasites. Some were hunting for the rare substance the Shadow Parasites were hunting for. Some were hunting those hunters, and were in turn being hunted by other hunters.
Still, despite the mess the planet was in, the most chaotic of them all was definitely the State of California where Elliot was rumored to be based.
At least ten Ancients had shown themselves there, hundreds of Hegemons, thousands of Emperors and Kings uncountable.
These groups showed absolutely no mercy to each other, and furious, deadly battles would erupt the moment one met the other.
