Oh dear. The galaxy is in chaos as Helldivers 2’s Meridia black hole finally engulfed Angel’s Venture, the ill-fated planet it’s been eyeing for some time now. With a massive explosion, the planet is no more, and Arrowhead has understandably declared a time of mourning for the unfortunate souls lost in this cosmic catastrophe.
The fate of Angel’s Venture seemed inevitable as evacuation alarms were blaring, hinting at the impending doom. Eventually, the ominous purple black hole that’s been charting a course towards Super Earth made its destructive debut, banishing Angel’s Venture from existence in a stunning spectacle.
In a tweet accompanied by a news broadcast, Arrowhead broke the grim news: “The Meridian Singularity has ripped Angel’s Venture to shreds.” And just in case anyone had any doubt about who’s behind this devastation, they added, “The Illuminate, with all their so-called wisdom, have shown their true colors: bloodshed.” With that stark realization, the President of Super Earth proclaimed a 24-hour mourning period across the galaxy.
A memorable tweet read, “BREAKING: ANGEL’S VENTURE has been torn apart by the Meridian Singularity. Finally, the Illuminate…have revealed what they truly want: carnage.”
For helldivers, it’s a heart-wrenching day. Yes, witnessing such a cosmic display might seem fascinating, but the weight of the loss is palpable. Many took to Reddit to express their grief, including a user with the handle ‘DickBallsley’, who had previously, with confidence, promised to prevent this disaster. “Y’all acting as if I would let that happen,” they boasted earlier. Now, with the reality sinking in, they regretfully admitted, “I’m sorry everyone, I might have overdone it,” further acknowledging that “Going all out was not the best idea. Next time I’ll read what it says on the packet, this one’s on me.”
Fellow players, ever ready with a good meme, responded with the classic Obi-Wan Kenobi ‘You were the chosen one’ GIF, capturing the collective sentiment of disappointment and camaraderie.
Even as we grieve, the cosmic saga continues. The black hole is now making a beeline for Super Earth, with more planets standing unknowingly in its cosmic path of potential destruction. The Clock’s ticking, and the next mission seems clear: fend off the Illuminate and halt this cosmic killer’s advance. Here’s hoping the next attempt brings more success than the last.
