YMMV / In the Last Days

• Complete Monster:
  • Antioch is a determined, power-hungry man who craves to conquer both Earth and Heaven. After becoming the sovereign of Earth, Antioch kidnaps strong-willed and brave people, and has Apollonius brainwash them into loyal zombie-like soldiers with the use of hypnosis, magic, starvation, sleep deprivation, Mind Rape, and actual rape—whatever works. After declaring himself a man-god, Antioch orders a merciless persecution of those who don't accept it, privately telling his subordinates to focus on Christians as top priority. His police only hunts down his political and religious opponents, turning a blind eye to everything else, which leads to levels of violent crime skyrocketing. Due to the ultra-hedonistic lifestyle promoted by Antioch's regime, his followers become physically weak and depression and suicides are on the rise, but Antioch gives no thought to this. Aware that he is the Beast from The Book of Revelation, Antioch thinks that the prophecy of God's victory was wrong and till his last moment only cares about the planned war against Heaven rather than the people of Earth who are either oppressed by his regime or look to him for help.
  • Apollonius is Antioch's chief supporter, whose high position allows him to freely indulge in his wild hedonistic ways. When Antioch tells him to find ways to bring steadfast, honorable people to his side, Apollonius devised a meticulous brainwashing strategy that involves hypnosis, starvation, sleep deprivation, mind rape, and bodily rape. He tries the aforementioned torments one by one on people Antioch's officers kidnap, turning the numerous victims into vicious Brainwashed and Crazy battalions blindly loyal to Antioch's cause. When Lydia, Apollonius's former friend and crush from their university days, is kidnapped for that purpose, Apollonius sees the strength of her will and plans to devise new ways to break her, viewing her purely as a test subject and proving he has no shreds of humanity left.
