Death of the Ideal
Free from his shattered cage, Avo goes from prey to predator as he continues to nurse his growing apotheosis.
With the Crucible overcome and the Syndicate defied, Avo turns from evasion to infiltration in the quest for answers – and retribution. With his Necrojacking capabilities restored, he delves the depths of the Nether. Greater shadows move in the backdrop, their fingers slowly closing around him.
But no more is Avo just an instrument in another's game, a weapon to be used and spent for someone else’s dreams. The fire of godhood has been lit within him.
His hunger will not be denied.
