First came the razing. It took practically no effort to wipe out the armies of every nation. After planting his most trusted allies and Rangers in government positions, he passed several new laws. Any crimes were met with immediate execution, no matter the severity of the act. An 8pm curfew was enforced in every nation across the world. Again, any who broke this curfew died under his command.

People scoffed at him. They ignored these rules and continued living as they did. After the first week of making good on his threats, they followed without question. In return for their loyalty, he protected this planet as its sole hero. Crime rates dropped to less than a thousandth of a percentage. Wars stopped all at once.

What remained of a “resistance” fought back. First with a fusillade of nuclear weapons, which were easily dispatched. Then came mindless monsters. Now they upgraded to mindless giant monsters. Like cavemen discovering fire, soon they’d advance to the stone age, and even further beyond, eventually sending an actual threat his way.
