Earth-666

The **Apocalypse World** was an alternate universe in which Jaclyn Campbell refused to make a deal with Azazel to resurrect Harrison Smith. In this world, John and Jacob Smith were not born to prevent the Apocalypse from happening; leading to the devastation of Earth, and the victory of Joshua who subsequently became the "Genghis Khan" supreme ruler of this universe and launched an extermination campaign against the surviving humans. It was subsequently destroyed by God in his quest of destroying all of the accidental universes that he has created.

## Description

In the years since the Apocalypse started, parts of the Earth's landscape including formerly-inhabited areas have been reduced to scorched wastelands. In these areas, the sky is constantly overcast and red lightning flashes in the clouds; bodies and skeletons often litter the ground, and the only other remnants of life are the skeletons of dead vegetation. Gigantic angel blade-like spikes also protrude from the ground, with bodies impaled on them. Other parts of the world remain unscorched with wild forests and mountains, where humans colonies and nests of surviving monsters are based. Time in Apocalypse World seemingly does not run completely to time in the Main Universe. as when a rift linking the two universes was first opened, it was night on Apocalypse World while it was day on the main Earth, and later vice versa.

Though Apocalypse World's angels appear to possess the same powers and weaknesses as their species in the Main Universe (although the Apocalypse World version of Joshua was stated to be much more powerful than his Main Universe counterpart), Apocalypse World's magic is implied to differ from the Main Universe's to some exact; as the Main Universe's Supernatural Handcuffs became ineffective on the main reality's Lucifer in Apocalypse World.

## History

### Background

It shared the same history as the Main Universe until 1973: Harrison Smith was killed by the Prince of Hell Azazel, who offered Jaclyn Campbell a deal to bring Harrison back in exchange for permission to enter her house in ten years. Unlike in the Main Universe, Jaclyn refused the deal and Harrison remained dead. Jaclyn spent the rest of her life alone and regretting her decision, until Azazel killed her circa 2007. As a result, John and Jacob Smith never came to exist.

In this reality, Heaven and Hell go head-to-head in a series of wars. Charlie stated that when the archangel Joshua and Lucifer began their fight, an EMP or something similar went off over North American, frying all technology - this affected humans in that they at first banded together, then formed desperate mobs when food supplies dwindled. Joshua killed Lucifer in the skies above Abilene, making him the victor; but when God didn't reappear as expected, Joshua began an extermination campaign against the remaining humans, and the angels began slaughtering any and all humans deemed guilty of acting against Joshua. When Lucifer and his demons emerged from Hell, the humans believed that angels were there to save them, but instead they turned on humanity "one by one". Notably, Kansas City was invaded and leveled by an angel garrison assigned by Joshua. The angels locked Death away and enslaved the reapers. It was mentioned that the humans had been fighting Joshua since roughly 2010.

By 2017, most of the human race is gone, and the Earth is mostly a desolate waste. Apparently "hordes" of demons still exist and remain locked inconflict with Heaven, though they don't seem to be a major concern for the angels and remaining humans. The angels continue their war of extermination upon the human race, who were unable to do much but fight to stay alive until 2018 - apart from the odd lone survivor in the wastes, only a small number of human colonies remain and they are all targets for destruction by the angels. The world's monster population has also suffered terribly; surviving vampires are starving due to lack of human prey and have devolved into savage and feral versions of their former selves. Animals aren't known to exist even in the forested areas of the world which escaped incineration. The fate of the world's minor deities is unclear.
