Anyone Can Die
 A Conspiracy of Serpents / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: After several stories of relatively few if any major heroes biting the dust in previous stories, Serpents ratchets up the mortality rate something fierce: of the most major characters to die, Kaliya, Susanoo, Uriel, Satannus and Ra end up carking it for good.

 A Conspiracy of Serpents / int_161fa3b8
comment
Hidden Agenda Villain: Apophis' scheme is, ostensibly, to devour the Teraverse. He keeps up this front for a while before revealing it's shifted; he instead wants to preserve it, and devour the souls of all those who die in a spiritually broken world forevermore. Whoever the mysterious "Mr. Z" is, he's clearly running some sort of scheme behind the lines, something involving the mysterious "Black Sun".

Character Development: Apophis starts the story off as a rather generic bad guy who just wants to devour the entire Teraverse for nothing but pleasure, but as the story goes on, he begins questioning his actions, his relationship with Ra, and even dies feeling sadness for his actions.

Bittersweet Ending: The conspiracy is dismantled, Heaven and Hell are closer than they have been for eons, Grete and Kasumi are an item, and Apophis is thwarted and slain, but he and his forces have still wreaked colossal damage and many sacrifice their lives for victory—most notably Satannus, Hardestadt's old mentor and Soul-Bond. Regardless, Hardestadt honors her memory and continues to push onward with his family, as always.

Dying Moment of Awesome: Satannus and Apophis's duel initially seems like an anticlimax, as Apophis manages to mortally wound her after only a few seconds and turns his back to leave her for dead. However, Satannus then shows why she's the Sin of Wrath, as her rage at such an ignominious end gives her such a boost of strength that she manages to fly into a second duel against Apophis, this time kicking his ass and nearly killing him before finally succumbing to her wounds.

Karmic Death: Yamada is killed by Yig via having all of the power within him completely drained, this being after Yamada did the exact same thing to Yig.

Big Bad: The King of Serpents is the ultimate villain; a world devouring abomination who seeks to consume everything that ever was. His true identity is the Egyptian serpent Apophis.

Revenge Before Reason: Jormungandr is working for the Serpent Conspiracy to see the soul of Odin devoured by Apophis in retribution for all he's done to Jormungandr's family. Further moral concerns have ceased to matter to him.

comment
What Is This Feeling?: As a consequence of devouring so many souls, Apophis begins to feel more emotions over the course of the story, even recognizing points where he should feel something but doesn't. As he dies along with his brother, he feels one final emotion: sorrow.

My God, What Have I Done?: Lucifer and the angels are coming to grips with how their wars were pointless, and that they fought and killed one another over absolutely nothing. Likewise, Aleviel is wracked by guilt for the damage she has caused and refuses to break her solitude, save on rare occasions.

comment
Alas, Poor Villain: Apophis slowly becomes more sympathetic over the course of the story, where his motivation is explained to be that of an emotionless, cosmic predator trying to reconcile his nature with his desire to find meaning in his existence. His death ends up being quite sad as he realizes all of his efforts were for nothing and he dies alongside his beloved brother/nemesis, Ra, as he manages to comprehend one last emotion: sorrow.

Omnicidal Maniac: The King of Serpents seeks to consume all of existence. Or that's the farce he presents—his goal is actually an inversion as he is trying to preserve the universe within his coils. Yamada is a straight example, as with the power of Yig, he plans to not only slaughter all of earth, but also enact the complete destruction of Heaven and Hell.

Hero Killer: The King of Serpents is a threat to even Heaven and Hell, establishing himself by ensnaring two devils and slaughtering them—an event that hasn't happened in eons. His second-in-command, Yamada, is no less proficient, posing a very genuine, real threat to the heroes whenever he's on-stage. Kaliya and Susanoo both end up slain when they try and pick a fight with him directly.
