If someone asks what the connection is between "annihilation" and "Shiyan".
Martin would say there's no connection.
But there's also no difference.
This is just a human-shaped moving catastrophe, encountering her is no different from encountering the end of the world.
In this world, there are only wrongly chosen names, but never wrongly called nicknames.
Take Stuka for instance.
Annihilation is the same.
When you see annihilation coming, it's basically too late to run.
But if you can live, who would choose to wait for death?
Martin now only wishes his parents had given him two more legs.
Run, desperately run, run as far away as possible.
Whether it's the Imperial Forbidden Army or annihilation, the kind of battles at that level are something a small character like him isn't even qualified to glance at more than once.
One extra glance would mean death.
