The scene opens in the scorched, crater-pocked ruins of Pentagram City’s outer districts, a hellish parody of the Western Front circa 1918—now amplified into apocalyptic nightmare fuel. Crumbling art-deco skyscrapers lean like broken teeth against a blood-red sky choked with sulfurous smoke and falling ash. Barbed wire (twisted from infernal steel) coils across shattered streets, trenches dug deep into cracked pavement overflow with glowing green ichor and discarded angelic spears. Abandoned barricades of overturned hell-cars and piled sinner corpses smolder under flickering neon signs that still buzz futilely: “Welcome to Pentagram City – Population: Decreasing.”
