* AcceptablePoliticalTargets: Senna's followers, the Sennites, are compared at every chance the author can find (and a few more just shoehorned in) to [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazis]] and [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic white supremacists]], and to further hammer this home, the Sennites are even written to go so far as to wear ''[[PuttingOnTheReich literal swastika armbands]]''. Subtle they were not.

* MagnificentBastard: In this dark world where AllMythsAreTrue, these gods and monsters reign above their peers in brilliance:
** [[TricksterGod Loki]] is the Norse God of Lies, [[DestroyerDeity Destruction]] and Trickery and one of the most devious deities to inhabit Everworld. A master manipulator, Loki usurped Odin himself and uses his imprisonment to blackmail the Vikings into warring with the Aztecs. Using his powers to bring the witch Senna from the normal world into Everworld, Loki plans to use her as a way to escape the wrath of the monster [[GodEating god eater Ka Anor]] against him and his fellow deities by trapping Ka Anor in this world alone. Loki spends his series pursuing the heroes and even launches a [[HeroKiller deadly sneak attack]] against [[Myth/ArthurianLegend the Round Table]] to get Senna back. At the end, when Senna perishes and his initial plan isn't possible, he gracefully allies with the heroes and helps save them from his mad daughter Hel, showing her who is the ultimate master of the Norse underworld.
** [[Myth/{{Merlin}} Merlin the Magnificent]] is the [[WizardClassic greatest sorcerer]] in existence and plans to [[TheAlliance unite the various deities of Everworld against Ka Anor]]. Merlin can change tactics on a dime and skillfully pursues our heroes and Senna to stop her from falling into Loki's clutches, always willing to manipulate a deal here and there to make it easier. Merlin is also prepared for if stuff goes wrong, such as making his home base into a giant trap to capture invading armies. Merlin is also willing to listen to others to improve his plans, using the advice of Christopher to manipulate the downfall of Senna and her followers by playing them against each other using [[MasterOfIllusion illusion magic]]. Merlin later allies with Loki to help save the heroes and forge an alliance to defeat the monstrous Ka Anor and his machinations.
** ''Discover the Destroyer'': [[NobleDemon Nidhoggr]], the [[DragonsAreDemonic dragon of the underworld]], is a massive beast who serves nobody but himself. A surprisingly cheerful, erudite and charming being, Nidhoggr enlists the service of the young heroes to delve into Hel's realm, manipulating them for his own ends and using them to secure his own position without any risk to himself.
** ''Brave the Betrayal'': [[FauxAffablyEvil Eshu]] is the TricksterGod of the Yoruba and a messenger of the higher gods. Upon the entrance of the heroes to his domain, Eshu is [[BlueAndOrangeMorality perplexed by their unwillingness]] to sacrifice animals and resorts to numerous different forms to sway them, also luring Jalil into the midst of a flood in the form of David. Eshu continues to taunt and sway the heroes with psychological tricks, ending with the last laugh by causing the deaths of Vikings they were attempting to save.

In the war with the Vikings, Huitzilopoctli makes his debut and slaughters numerous soldiers, ending in breaking the Viking lord Olaf in half to devour his heart and having all prisoners treated to be fattened for sacrifice, a gigantic procession to his pyramid that kills so many, rivers of blood pour down the steps.

** [[BigBad Ka Anor]] is the one being that the setting's myriad JerkassGods fear. The [[GodIsEvil god of the insectoid alien Hetwan]], Ka Anor invaded Everworld with his army of mind slaved soldiers, intent on conquering the pocket universe and devouring all of its gods. A huge {{sadist}}, his single most horrific act has to be his [[GodEating cannibalization]] of Olympian cupbearer Ganymede. Having captured the young god, Ka Anor takes the form of a swarm of insects, and strips him down to the bone, keeping him alive to the very last second, as the heroes watch in horror. During the siege of Olympus he offers Zeus the chance to escape with five chosen gods, if he will sacrifice the rest of his pantheon to Ka Anor's appetite; it is later revealed that Ka Anor had no intention of holding up his end of the bargain. His Hetwan legions violate every conceivable rule of warfare, even by ancient terms, using acid and fire as their main weapons. Ka Anor shows that even in a CrapsackWorld, there are some who rise above the rest in monstrosity.
** [[GodOfTheDead Hel]] is depicted here as [[EverybodyHatesHades far worse than her Norse Mythology counterpart]]. A TwoFaced monster, her cruelty extends to [[BadBoss her servants]], who are kidnapped from elsewhere and castrated when they are made to serve her. This pales though compared to what she does to those who end up in her domain. Those who are unfortunate to come to her hell domain are buried up to their chin in rock, and has their head used as a cobblestone, until the skin is worn away and their skulls are crushed. AxCrazy to the extreme, she lives to torture people and even among the variety of gods and monsters in the series, she is by far one of the worst.
