Things get bleak in Arakko when Genesis' Four Horsemen are released. Richard Rider is putting out the fire when he sees Famine unleashing a tsunami to flood the town. Famine gloats over the destruction until Storm arrives to zap the hell out of the Horseman. War uses the fire power to blast at the mutant but she gets her flames snuffed out from Storm's cold whirlwind.
Storm turns and finds Death is before her with his scythe. Death confirms that his siblings are down but not dead as he senses their sparks still flickering. He says Storm cannot fool him, that there is still mercy in her so he challenges her to fight him. Knowing that Death has the sense of honor, Storm reasons with him by telling him that his rules don't apply to the senseless war and destruction happening around them. Meanwhile, Pestilence fires a poison arrow at Storm but Richard flies in and takes the arrow instead, nearly killing him with the poison corrupting his body. Storm reaches for Nova saying she'll fly him out of there but Death pulls her hand away saying the plague spreads by touch and kills by pain and that only he can survive it. Then, Death turns to his sister and declares that she interfered without honor so he kills her with a Deathly Glare by taking off his Anubis mask. Putting his headpiece back on he tells Storm that his sister's interference was a challenge of insult and that she said such things meant nothing. "She was wrong. She has to be."
Syzya teleports in and Storm immediately asks her how the evacuation is going. Syzya replies that some got out and Genesis is taking prisoners (that can hopefully be rescued). The remaining fighters are falling back to the Morrowlands. She then hands Storm the Uranos trigger. She says it has to be Storm. She's the Seat of Loss and Syzya doesn't want to listen to Uranos anymore. Storm holds it and Uranos greets her in her mind. He tells her to release him and within his hour of freedom he will end the war by ending every single life on the planet that is not of her faction. The choice is hers. He tells her to choose as she looks up and watches a swarm of flying daemons fly overhead.

Thoughts on Uranos? Personally I find him to be a fascinating villain. As a physical manifestation of fascism he's horrifying. In particular I find his assault on the living peoples history Xilo to be a obvious and fascinating metaphor for book burnings as a method of cultural genocide.
I absolutely agree. I think Kieron Gillen did an extraordinary job creating a villain who out-Thanos'd Thanos.
You bring up some excellent points about Uranos as the embodiment of genocide in all its forms, from the physical to the cultural, but the thing that always struck me the most was his ideology, the way that Kieron brought everything back to Uranos' heretical re-writing of the Eternals' Principles:
Tumblr media
It's a terrifying and fascinating example of exterminationist rhetoric taken to its logical conclusion - first taking the traditional "Other" and moving beyond the Eternals' original purpose of keeping them in check to calling for their total destruction (even though this goes against the wishes of his own gods the Celestials), then defining all life other than the in-group as "deviant" that must be destroyed, so that genocide becomes omnicide, then turning against even the gods themselves. It's the way in which the exaltation of the in-group becomes this solipsistic drive to make all of existence a mirror of the in-group.
It made him the perfect nemesis for Magneto.
(And I love that Xilo endures, and goes on to create new histories. What a symbol of hope.)

It feels appropriate that this all started with Druig doing vote manipulation to get Thanos on the throne and ends with Starfox doing voter fraud to boot Druig off it

Richard Rider as Nova appears twice in a cameo on X-Men Red comic. 
Richard Rider is on two pages of the comic. This issue of X-Men Red is the tie-in comic to A.X.E.: Judgment Day event which is why there are intense scenes. As a liaison of the Galactic Council for Earth (and maybe Mars), Nova tries to protect the civilians on Mars from the Eternals’ death machines by evacuating them, but it was partially successful. The Krakoan gates were destroyed and seven Kymellian Priests were killed before he could save them.

So I'm thinking about the Greek Gods, as I sometimes do and I decided to do a little digging into Kronos (Chronos, Cronos, Saturn)
Most people know Kronos as the titan that ate his children and... that's pretty much it, usually depicted as a tyrant or monster because, yknow... children eating (that's bad folks)
Some lesser known facts however popped up and got me interested and I wish people would make note for their stories with Greek Gods (not me though because I'm a terrible author :'c)
The reason Kronos castrated his father Uranos was because his mother, Gaia, asked him to. She was angry at Uranos for imprisoning several of her children in Tartarus. Although Kronos most likely wanted to overthrow his father, he didn’t attempt it until Gaia created and gave him the weapon to do so
Kronos was the only one of his brothers brave enough to do it and for his barbaric crime, Uranos gave him and his siblings the title of Titans (Titenes)
Under Kronos's rule, the world was considered a Golden age. No one wanted for nothing, they lived long and peaceful lives but kept their youthful appearance, there was no crime or immorality, it was truly a Golden Age for all.
But Uranos and Gaia told Kronos about a prophecy where he will get overthrown by his child.
Yadda yadda paranoia cannibalism baby eating, we all know that part.
Kronos was the personification of Time, the god/titan of time. He represents the destructive ravages of time which devours all things, a concept that's shown when Kronos eats the Olympian gods, the past consuming the future, the older generation suppressing the next generation.
I just think it’s interesting how most/everyone will always depect Kronos as the absolute worst villain, usually the Big Bad yet he had brought the Golden Age to the world and he didn’t attempt to overthrow his father until his mother asked. 
Plus the idea of Kronos being a time titan, travelling through time and fucking around is hilarious to me

AXE Judgement Day #1 Spoilers Warning
Okay what the actual freak. Great issue and gorgeous art, but feels like it's way too condensed. It could use a few more pages.
I don't think this is the end for Arakko (mainly because of the leaked future books and stuff) but damn did they do the Great Ring dirty. Magneto, Cable, and Brand just being annihilated by Uranos is kinda funny but in a sad way. Anyway I can't wait for X-Men Red and Legion of X to dive deeper on how the Arakkii will fight back. Also with Kurt at the end saying "bring them back" I'm guessing there'll be some *conversations* he'll has to do with Ora Serrata and the general Arakkii populist who rejects the culture of resurrection. But honestly resurrecting them feels like the only good move here as Arakko is such a unique status quo in the current X-Men World Building now that it's really a waste for Marvel Editorial to just reset it back to a wasteland that is Mars.
Also fuck Druig but not in the fun way. (Not movie Druig, he's cute).
