Shattering Humanity

The most eclectic epic ever inspired! "If she feels pain, then I'll make sure you all do..." With the whole globe snowed over, humans are no longer on top of the ladder. Violent crystal/ice aliens, sizes ranging from average human to towering monsters large enough to squash cities, have forced humanity into various locations of hiding. Giving the opportunity for several members of an evil, 8th century clan of witches to reveal themselves. Each woman using magic that has always coexisted with humanity, to take control of the post-apocalyptic world as Mafia Bosses, Dictators, modern day Conquerors, and other forms of ruling leadership. All in an attempt, not to save humanity, but to prove which of them is the strongest. Meanwhile, in the three years after the initial invasion, humans have begun to not only fight back against the aliens, but some choose to become "hosts" and acquire unique "abilities" after slaying one of the bloodthirsty, unconventional extraterrestrials. Shortly before leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two old friends, Katsu and Saku, are matched together not only as an academic squad, but the two polar opposites are chosen by the last surviving "Creator of Humanity". Both 'blessed' as the reflecting vessels for their universe's contemporary forces and using their granted abilities to achieve their own (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is Shelly, the last surviving descendant to the greatest 'unknown' Scandinavian sword fighter. After being revealed of her destined lineage, and the otherwise "mythical" history of her highly respected grandmother from the Viking/Valkyrie Age, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of her slain grandmother's stolen weapons from the both physically and magically gifted covenant of aforementioned witches. With overpowered witches now trying to gain control over societies, humans gaining powers from the same alien monters who threaten them, as well as a secretive psychopath pulling the strings of chaos in order to save only himself and Shelly at the end of it all, can the combined righteous human spirit overcome evolutionary adversity, or will it all be shattered?

If you have complete freedom to act however, or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about to protect?" ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ [All art is not done by AI but by my good friend Amon-kun] ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ WARNING/DISCLAIMER: This series spotlights coincidental parallels between various religious scriptures, and scientific theories but is in no way discrediting or belittling the beliefs of others whether that be Creationist or Evolutionist.
