When you explained ruin's design you showed a small short comic, the shopkeeper alien knew ruin because of a poster that was behind him. Was there now many posts about ruin?
was ruin known by many dimensions people after ruin killed many dimensions, or something else?
Ruin was a threat to planets at first while he was in war and looking for the Wither Shard. It wasn’t until his escape from V-42 (his dimension) that he became a multiversal threat. Even then, his story reached very far.
Some of the writings and posters that have made it across the universe - and eventually, dimensions:
minor tw: fictional t3rrorism mention and war topics such as propoganda.
Não (Ruin’s Creator) films Ruin with a pre-written script of warnings, commands, and information about the war that is going on, and how it will end. These repeated constantly, 24/7, across any and every screen that wasn’t visibly corrupted for fear mongering effect.
Civilians did not run from these broadcasts. They stayed. Because every once in a while, the televisions would change with announcements from the same cloaked figure to command them to safety.
This video is often used to show the severity of Ruin’s existence. It’s physical evidence against him and is treated somewhat like “lost footage” or “analogue horror” by worlds that don’t take it seriously…that is, until Ruin pays their planet a visit.
One of the main posters that are thrown across the post-apocolyptic world. A call for remaining humans to surrender themselves for some greater plan, though many didn’t agree. Though, Não did his best to suffocate the survivors with constant propoganda.
This poster is released after Ruin’s departure for the Wither Shard. The earth, with Não and Ruin is monitored by refugees and other extraterrestrials for a while. The situation severely escalates when the most dangerous solider gets pushed onto a mission to hunt for a shard to extend The Creator’s reach. It becomes a hunting mission very quickly. Civilians are told to hide, fighters are told to always be at arms. If they can stop Ruin from completing his mission, they can stop Não from reaching to other planets, then other dimensions. What they didn’t know was that Ruin was sabatoging his own mission half the time while keeping himself alive.
Ruin eventually completes his mission - to everyone’s dismay - and returns back. This poster gets pushed into other dimensions, as a warning to watch out for him. It didn’t get out fast enough because Ruin had gotten to his plan to erase a string of dimensions. Since then, the multiverse has heard complete radio silence from the Sole Survivor of V-42.
