Shadow Empire

The Shadow Empire is a massive empire consisting of Avatar champions and elite armadas of immensely powerful wielders of the Darkness in the service of Kirito, the Shadow Emperor and Asuna, the Shadow Empress. According to untold series of reports and archives, it is composed of individuals from various civilizations and untold varieties of species and backgrounds who were personally recruited by Kirito and Asuna during their rise to power, completely devoted to their leaders' beliefs, and opposes the forces of The Traveler.

Overview

In the days immediately before the Second Collapse, The Witness tasked Kirito and Asuna with rousing the Avatars from their slumber and protecting Mallory Bertha from the united forces of The Coalition and Emperor Calus, a former Disciple who had been risen from death by Maleficent, so that she could open the world to the Black Fleet's assault in preparations for the fruition of the Final Shape. Despite Vanguard Commander Zavala and Awoken Queen Mara Sov's allegiance with Calus and The Witness's death at the hands of the Gold Saints, The Coalition's efforts were in vain as Mallory made short work of Calus and his forces, The Reef, Shin Malphur, and Devrim Kay, giving the Black Swordsman and White Angel and their forces the opportunity to sever the European Dead Zone, Cosmodrome, Europa, and Nessus's connections with the Light, killing Clovis Bray I, Shaw Han, and Failsafe and annihilating said locations in the process.

During the early days of the Shadow Wars, the Shadow Empire expanded its forces and set out to conquer the multiverse and bind various universes into Aincrad, succeeding in destroying and subjugating Earth-NWO, the Snyderverse, Apokolips, and many others to Kirito's will, with the souls of all of the conquered worlds' denizens being transmutated into miniature cartoonish dolls and imprisoned in Dark Fetor chambers to be used as offerings to the Black Heart.
