Astaroth Empire

 'This is not about your little planet. We will take your whole galaxy. We will destroy your machines; they are an abomination. We will share our ways, we will share our beliefs. We will share pain, like us, you will come to embrace it.''' ''

The Astaroth Empire is a  bureaucratic totalitarian one-state government,  nefarious, satanist, and corrupt Omniversal faction that rules the Multi-Universe of LOTM: Sword of Kings in alternative timeline as a whole and was founded by Ara Astaroth  during the year of  Rise of Astaroth Empire  in 2036 at the end of  World War III  in 2037 at Prime Earth and ruled the Prime Earth and the whole omniverse for 2,000 years (2036-4500). The Astaroth Empire, also known as the First Omniverse Empire or the New Omniversal Order—and commonly referred to as the Empire or the Order—was the Dark Empire, absolute monarchy and fascist government that replaced the Balam Alliance in the aftermath of the Universal War III. The Empire was formed after the end of WWIII and had Leohart's Cult as its main supporter. They're the true main antagonist in Madness Sub Arc of the second season of Saga of LOTM: Sword of Kings.

Rising to power in the final years of the World War III, the Pure-Blooded Devil Ara Astaroth gradually secured the government of United States under her control through the persona of Tom Bucky, the current American President at that time and was the last President of the American Republic. Through her machinations as both Ara and Tom Bucky, the Devil were restored to a position of dominance amidst the fall of the KnightWalker Alliance and the marginalization of the Stabilization Union (SU). With SU under her control, The Fallen's Essence lost control of his plans was finished off by Ara, leading Lusamine to her demise and the end of Novosic Kingdom, Godom Empire, North Korea and New Union Sovietic. With the victory of SU, Ara revealed herself to the world and controled it for more than 30 years, during that time, she wiped out all religions and put Satanism as the main religion of the world, without the guardians of peace and justice to oppose her, Ara brought an end to a thousand years of democracy; in its place she installed the absolute rule of herself as World Empress.

For over two decades, opposition to the Imperial regime was ruthlessly suppressed by the rapidly expanding armed forces of the Astaroth Empire. Throughout most of the Astaroth Empire's existence, the Imperial Senate stood within the Astaroth Empire as the last surviving symbol of the Mankind and tried to stop Ara's malicious intentions. With the completion of the of Ara's ultimate weapon, the E.N.D., Ara felt confident enough to dissolve the body of her representatives while maintaining her control over the Earth and immediately extended her territories to other universes using Black Magic and Bio-Tecnology weapons through a collective of sector governors. Astaroth Empire quickly send all religious to Death Camps and had all religions of the world wiped out, turning Prime Earth into a hellish scenario where all types of crimes were allowed; from homicide, torture, spree-killing, genocide, terrorist attacks, robberies, sexual crimes, cannibalism, necropholia and even nuclear wars between miltary nations with no Morals or Laws to punish. With this, the involvement of Deus.Ex.Machina Industries Empire and Sith Empire ceased to exist and the Earth was now under the control of Triggers Hell.

However, the growing resentment to Astaroth Imperial rule gradually led to the rise of various resistance movements that ultimately culminated in the formation of the Alliance which was formed by people who wanted the Republic, Democracy, Law and Religious Freedom back to their world. The Alliance started on Earth but quickly reach the ears of other worlds and formed an massive rebel alliance (in this alternative future, the Alliance replaced the Alliance of Freedom and Astaroth Empire replaced the Balam Alliance as a whole). In 1300 years, Ara managed to defeat the Balam Alliance and overthrowing her father, Leohart the Prince of Hell. Having defeated her father and conquested Hell for herself, she proceeded to kill Darth Hades and banish The Fallen to another reality where he will be exiled forever (as the Fallen himself is immortal). With this, Ara managed to destroy the Balam Alliance from inside in a matter of time. It took not so long for countless other factions like Reality Council, Multi-Universe Defense Forces and New Conglomerate be destroyed as well by the immense army of Ara and her Sin Archbishops that quickly spread chaos and terror for countless worlds. 10 years later, Ara managed to invade Paradise and defeated her nemesis, God using her Anti-Christ form and killing him by erasing him from reality.

At the end everything, Ara was praised like a Goddess and the religion of Satanism became Arathost Religion, a religion of evil with the same essence of Lucifer but with Ara as their Goddess. One of Ara's first order as her New Goddess was the total destruction of Law to create a Multi-Universe without rules, restriction or laws to watch all living killing each other while her demons, priests, ghouls and monsters enjoyed the carnage they wanted for more than 100 centillion years since the defeat of the Devil and Lucifer by the hands of the Legendary ExKrieg. With this, Ara ruled over the Multi-Universe for 2 millenia and did something that no one managed to do; ''Rule the Multi-Universe. ''The remnants of Sith Empire and DEM Empire joined her cause, including people like Aryana Westcott and Abyss Zurg. Throughout the Omniversal Civil War, Imperial and Alliance forces fought across the universe in a conflict that culminated in the deaths of trillion, bringing more carnage for Ara's ideal world.
