Amberstone Extras #017 – Superweapons: The Wonders That Surpassed the Bomb
Excerpt from A New Pantheon: The Birth of the Superweapons, 2058
The dawn of superweapons was inevitable. Nuclear deterrence, once the cornerstone of global stability, collapsed under the weight of desperation and technological arrogance. The late 2030s saw the first blueprints of war machines that could unmake cities without fallout, and by the 2040s, the world was no longer stockpiling destruction—it was engineering it.

Some superweapons were machines, like the Auctoridas, an artillery cannon so vast it had its own railway system and often destroyed itself upon firing. Others were organic, such as the Red Leviathan, a bioengineered colossus that could level fleets with a single lashing tendril. Then there were those that defied category, like The Revenant Swarm, autonomous nanites capable of rewriting the laws of matter.
Each one was meant to be the weapon—the last word in war. Yet no victory was ever decisive. The world refused to end, no matter how many cities fell. And now, in 2058, the superweapons still linger, rusting in battlefields or waiting in bunkers, like relics of a forgotten war god.
