In a world much like ours except for it still stuck in world war 2, germany now spans the entire european continent, and is still advancing.
Because the world war was active for almost a complete century now, technology. Mainly destructive weapons and better transportation is advanced to amazing levels.
Machinery was used for everything, earth was polluted to unseen levels and its blue sky was no more, all you would see were dark clouds with little bits of sunlight seeping through.
On day 11 July, 2022.
A meteor entered the earths atmosphere and with friction it split into two, one part crashed in US soil while the other in the cold land of Siberia, and with it landing in different environments lead it to react in two different way.
Germany was going through changes while this happened, it welcomed a new leader, the first woman. She amassed many supporters over the years, although no one knows how a woman who are looked down upon still in this world, is able to get this far.
Well fear!
They feared her.
The moment she took over, she applied changes to government, one of those was equality, whether it be man or woman they would work for the betterment of the nation, a nation she announced as the empire, and proclaimed herself empress. Those who tried to rebel, ended up butchered along with their families.
When everything went in the order she wants, she started advancing with the takeover of the world but this time it got even faster, if any land was taken over by the empire, if they don't like things of the people that lived in that land they would go on and butcher them like animals.
It was bloody.
On day 1 January, 2025.
The meteor was found in us soil by accident, the rock was large and it was glowing blue, and from it blue glowing veins stretched into its surroundings, infecting every flora and fauna it came across, though it only infected them but didn't cause anything else. The scientists found ways to weaponize this meteorite and the energy it produced.
This gave them advantage at pushing the empire's armies back to where they came from.

And while this is going on.
A research underground facility in Siberia is studying the other part of the meteorite, this part glowed blue but didn't infect anything, the difference is that it didn't produced energy, it only had a large amount of it inside. The empire at the order of the empress studied it in hopes of weaponizing it but instead they found another thing entirely. A branch that when it made its way to the empress's ears, it opened an ambition in front of her.
And for a year now they have been digging deep into the earth and started building a large gate, now finished they cut out a piece from the meteorite, and used it to run the gate and it was successful, it opened a doorway, and sent a subject to the other side, only to lose contact when the gate closed by itself as it run out of energy, the small rock that they used became black and once they moved it it crumbled to ash. Useless and no longer containing energy.
They cut another piece and opened the gate, this time they sent a subject and got in contact, once knowing of what lays beyond, another world, untouched by mankind. The empress made a new set of plans.
On day 22 December, 2025.
Things are getting worse, the enemy of the empire, their weapons contaminated the lands and as the infection grew it evolved, no longer harmless, when humans get infected those who remain sane lead the once who become puppets to the infection, they learned to use and produce weapons to continue and spread infection of blue energy. The empire's territory is shrinking from its glory, but while people are afraid, some are excited.
For an entirely reason.
Two million qualified empire citizens were now in Siberia's large underground, the gate opened and they crossed, for the past months, more rocks with same energy were discovered in the otherworld and were used to power the gate as they transported resources and machinery to build a new start there, a new capital.
They called it Unity.
While the world was knowing by many as either earth or overworld.
Red flags with a white circle and two black lightning bolts in it draped over high rise buildings, the streets clean, everything looked big and perfect.
The gate was shutdown as they built one in the overworld, one to use to try and open space channels to other worlds, as now knowing that there are ways to travel faster, ambition grew even larger.
And with that began the reign of terror of empress Lilith.
