THE NEW DYNASTY

EPISODE: THE VILLAINESS // STORY

tricorn.png

Though the Coalition has finally brought an end to the War of Light and Darkness that plagued the entire multiverse, the struggle still remains far from over, for now, a new threat has emerged from the darkest edges of the Solar System to challenge the Last City.

 

After many years of remaining dormant since the unmaking of the Endless Night long ago, the Athenaeum Rift makes a violent insurgence, spreading its infection across timelines, and Hive dwelling on Earth and Luna, birthed by the Hive Prince Crota and his followers so long ago, have made themselves known once again, under the leadership of a new warmonger: Voldor, the firstborn son of Xivu Arath and War Monarch, of the infamous Darksteel Brood. Under his flaming sword and iron fist, the hordes of shrieking monsters and corrupted heroes have banded together on Earth, attempting to fulfill his mother's horrifying mission of subjugating every universe to the will of the Sword Logic.

 

In the hopes of preventing this coming threat from rising, the Vanguard and Aisha have called upon the Guardians to venture into the wretched dimensions of the Rift in the hopes of bringing down this dark enemy.

Monolith shrines are going across the Solar System, where in their presences, the Oppressor Moons and their heralds begin to emerge from their dimensions with abilities to feed on the emotions, fears, and powers of the living and dead from our universe.

You must destroy their paraversal tethers and put the plagued wretches out of their misery before he can claim their souls.

High School DxD Re BorN - WarnerVerse BW.png
1128px-Netflix_2015_N_logo.svg.png

A war between Lightbearers and the Darksteel Brood is raging on Earth—and your favorite run-of-the-hill anime makes a long-awaited return in a shocking debut that will clap ass in new ways.

 

You can fight like a Devil, fly like a Pure Angel, but you'll never be better than Titans cosplaying as the Supreme Fallen Angel in his black Boosted Gear and awkwardly dancing in the middle of the Tower. They are alone on the dance floor because Hunters are busy flexing on lowly noobs as Yuuma Amano, and Warlocks can’t stop bragging about their girlfriends as Issei Hyoudou. And this is all possible thanks to the new Destiny 2 x High School DxD collaboration!

 

Gain unsanctioned access to cosmetics, armor, and TECHNOCORE Arsenal weapons inspired by the DxD Universe to celebrate the release of High School DxD Re:BorN on Netflix. Maybe you like charging with a Shotgun and punching everything in sight? Or staying behind and shooting from a vantage point with a long-range weapons? If you prefer to genocide entire races for loot, that's fine. If you like to kill gods for fun and turn them into guns for a meme, that's fine, too.

Open to all players beginning April 8.
