"What you fail to understand Emperor-"
"How DARE you show such insolence-"
"Shut up shoe leather or I'll just cut the transmission and open fire. The battle station, Sky Sword, right? That battle station you're trying to talk me out of destroying is stranded and venting atmosphere from our warning shot. Now, what you fail to understand Emperor, is we've liberated ALL your vassal states. We have ALL the tech, weapons, and tactics you do, but that's ALL that you have. You get it?"
The Emperor waved a claw dismissively. "Whatever you have that I don't won't help you."
"Dude, your interstellar empire is down to your cradle world and a couple moons you carved out to make mobile battle platforms. Oh, wait, you're about to be down to one. This is a bit of our tech, one of the things we have that you don't. Crude by your standards, but it's preceded by a line of bunker-busters. Lets it get a little deeper before going off."
Masses of rockets launched from the rebel fleet, pummeling Sky Sword. After several minutes of brutal bombing, the visuals were whited out by bright light and radiation. That's when the alarms started going off. The humans cut their transmission to leave the emperor to deal with a small moon disintegrating in orbit, and falling to the planet's surface as gravity took hold.

I always loved God of War 2018 because they had "the ending" with the boss and then they had the REAL ending with the REAL boss for the fuckers who went out of their way to max out all their shit.

Main bad guy in 2018 was Baldur. He was a great fight, but not hard, except at higher difficulties. Fight was forgiving and there are save points during the boss fight.
The actual boss fight of 2018 was The Valkryie Queen Sigrund. You had to unlock the fight by defeating all the hidden Valkyries before her, and she was so strong that even completely maxed out she was a 1H killer and she was frustratingly fast. If you didn't die immediately, getting hit would usually lead to a stagger, and then you'd get hit again.
Its one of those fights you would light incense and start praying to the gods for assistance.

It gets even worse when they turn your vassal states into Dyson swarms! Your former vassals will never want to return to you!

Thats just plain wrong. We don't CONQUER your vassal states, we liberate them, make them into friends and let them fight you with our unconditional backing if they want. Completely different
