Mockery and science seemed to vie for the blasphemous energies of the early Godkillers. Ivan Pryzhov, a radical of the 1860s, so hated religion that he would conduct his drinking bouts in a parody of Orthodox ritual. [...]

More drones struck fragile plasma conduits and sun-hot energy spilled out, consuming the Godkiller from the inside out.
