Wait, so is this Shade's way of saying that he's able to defeat Phyrexia and the Eldrazi both, but won't because after that he'll be forced to kill many planeswalkers?
If so, then he was not really lying about him valuing planewalkers' lives more than regular lives, is it? Or is it me misinterpreting the chapter?

Hmm.
Well. This is going to end well, right?
Right?
Well. This is going to end well, right?
Right?
If there are naive/ambitious/stupid Planeswalkers who seek to topple the Tyrant because he's viewed as an obstructive authority figure, there's also likely intelligent Planeswalkers who see the bigger picture and are smart enough to know why The Tyrant does what he does.
As such, aside from Kratos, Spider Jerusalem, and Lenny/Pope Pius XIII, I'd like propose another candidate who'd likely be aligned with the Tyrant's interests.
Nature, especially Supernature, does so dislike a vacuum. The trauma, from her own words, "like ripping the spine from the soul", provoked such agony, it ignited the Spark which existed within the depths of Mary's innermost being.
Seeking to deprive her of strength and utterly weaken her, the Father of Lies had, much to it's horror, instead created an Archmage, who's power exceeded his own.
Swiftly, Mary claimed Salem, and it's Mana for her own use, and obliterated the Prince of Darkness, and took ownership of all the witches who had bargained their souls to him.
Since that fateful day, Mary has worked hard and well to create the Utopia for all she so long desired to have built, working her witchery on a global scale against those who seek to despoil it.
Needless to say, the various inquisitions, witch hunters, and oppressive religious figures around the world have NOT been having a good time lately.
Having had experienced and lived the whole, "Might makes Right", view herself all her life, Mary understands that as the Tyrant is the first among all others, his Law exists for a reason.
And woe be onto the poor fellow who seeks to drag both her and her Plane into any conflict with the Tyrant!

Chapter Sixty-Five (Metropolis)
The city landscape I crashed into belonged to a metropolis of sorts. I took a deep breath as I slowly got back up on my feet, having hit the concrete of a busy intersection, much to the shock of the nearby people who had stopped their cars to gawk at my form. I took another breath, and then slammed my left hand against the ground, the colorless energy of the location burning through my skin as I felt it tug and energize me. I clicked my tongue, and the Psionic impulse burst into the air, sizzling portals spreading open as a barrage of shining discs descended on my location.
A glowing golden shield intercepted those near me, the fluttering cape of Superbia glinting silver as he placed his other hand on my shoulder.
"Father dearest," Superbia said. "Let Us handle this. Recover your strength."
I nodded as I took a few steps back, Superbia's form soon neared by other Slivers who began to twitch and morph, taking on a far more humanoid appearance as blades spread out from their arms.
Angel-like wings spread from their backs, and in an instant they were gone up in the air to meet the flying enemies. Sailor Moon stood wearing a dress that glowed gold, and as her eyes looked down with firm determination, beams of light left her open palms, and the air surrounding her began to swirl with Motes of multi-colored mana.
In an instant, Neo-Queen Serenity was joined by her Sailor Guardians. Superbia's flaming spear met with the Silence Glaive of Sailor Saturn, and as the two ended up flying in a serrated battle of thrusts and parries, the rest of the Slivers engaged the remaining guardians.
My left hand remained on the ground, the bubbling energy within this planet energizing me further as I felt the cells under the strain of the previous expulsion of black oil burst only to be replaced by fresher, newer ones. I closed my eyes, and as the sound of battle all around us dulled out, I heard the sounds of the countless heartbeats that in their frenzy were running away as fast as they could from the point of my crash.
"Chronos Typhoon!" Sailor Pluto bellowed as harsh winds gathered and spun in my direction. The winds grew closer, and suddenly they stopped. I clicked my tongue against my teeth, and snapped my eyes open to stare into a red and blue form, a glittering letter stylishly threaded on his chest-piece. The red mantle fluttered to the wind, and the man's dark hair was cut short.
I smiled at the sight, and quietly gave the retreat signal to the rest of my forces, "Superbia!" I bellowed high in the sky, "To my side!"
In an instant, glowing flames surrounded Superbia's frame as Sailor Saturn shielded her face from the intense heat, the Apex Sliver descending like an orbital drop-pod and with the speed of a rocket to crash right in front of me, shield and spear held aloft and eyes burning with flames of fury and righteous determination.
"Explain yourself," the man in red and blue said firmly, "Why are you fighting over Metropolis?"
The form of Sailor Saturn looked up towards the glowing Neo-Queen Serenity, who took that as the cue to float gently down until she too was at eye-level with the man of steel himself. Needless to say, Superman was not amused. The rest of the Sailor Guardians formed up behind Serenity, but while they did remain wary, they didn't hold up to their weapons.
"He's strong," Sailor Mercury whispered as her visor gave her all the details it could gather, "We can take him, but the innocents might get caught in the crossfire."
"Keep an eye on the Tyrant," Sailor Mars muttered in turn, her eyes glaring in my direction. "If he bolts, we have to catch him."
I closed my eyes and kept breathing, invisible tendrils clutching upon the heat of the Savannah and the cold of the Antarctica, the steppes of Russia and the summit of the peaks of the Himalayas. Energy flourished within me, and just as quickly it was devoured to sustain my regeneration and my strength.
"I apologize for what has happened, and for the damage caused," Serenity spoke, and her voice was rich and gentle, like that of a caring mother. "We have hunted that monster for countless centuries, my friends and I could not help but take the chance at his weakness to finally defeat him. If you will allow us to take him away, I will gladly restore the city to how it was, and bring back to the life the dead."
"I would like to point out that they attacked me first," I piped in from behind Superman. "And that I'm their rightful sovereign. They're just a rebellious splinter group that doesn't approve of my kind and gentle laws!"
"You shut up!" Sailor Jupiter yelled. "Everything you say is just plain wrong, so come peacefully if you actually value your life!"
I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed, raising both of my arms up in the air, much to Superbia's befuddled expression. "Father?" he whispered.
"Go home, Superbia," I said with a small smile. "The sins of the father should not fall upon their children. And let's be honest here...there's a lot of them and only a few of us."
"What kind of...we won't fall for your tricks, Tyrant!" Sailor Venus roared angrily, "You? Surrender!? As if!"
"Oh?" I replied, "But I am surrendering! So come on! Bring me to your high court of justice if you have one...only you don't, because you have a council, don't you? But hey! Bring me to Zendikar to be judged then, but in order to do that...turn off those purifying braziers of yours, would you?" I grinned broadly. "Well? I'm waiting. Go on, turn them off and let's head off to Zendikar all together like a big happy family!" I laughed as the gritted teeth of the other Sailor Warriors made it clear they had no intention of doing so. "Just as I thought...even if I surrender, you only wish to kill me!" I clenched my chest with my right hand, "What is my fault, if not that of being your rightful ruler? The enemy stands at our gates, and all that you do is simply fight with each other! Phyrexia and the Eldrazi are the greatest of our foes..."
Superbia meanwhile disappeared, taking my cue to leave. Superman floated to the side to better keep both myself and the Sailor Warriors into check.
My tendrils kept extending, the crystals within my frame starting to shine once more, but kept hidden by the flesh and the muscles.
"It is thus with a hard heart that I must ask you to fight for the future of our people, of our race, for we are Planeswalkers, and our sacred duty is the protection of all the Planes from the hunger of the Eldrazi, or the madness of the Phyrexians!"
Not a single Sailor Warrior hid her anger at my words. I merely kept smiling even as I extended both of my arms forward, "Well? I'm surrendering," I made a show with my wrists, "Are you going to capture me or what?"
Queen Serenity bowed her head slightly, and then made a small smile. "I'm sorry," she said in the end. "If it were anyone else, then the answer would be yes. But your crimes, your sins...they are too heavy. Why couldn't you find this wisdom back in the past? Centuries ago, perhaps we would have done so."
I laughed. "Centuries ago, you would have died," I pulsed with energies, and crackling light distorted my surroundings. "Just like right now, you will die."
Superman's speed was so fast, he could spin the world backwards and somehow manage to return back in time one day. My speed wasn't anything that fast, but it was fast enough to intercept him. Then again, he had expected me to charge at the Sailor Warriors, and not to actually aim to impale him. The problem with superheroes is that they believe in their powers so well, that even if they should be wary, when someone has super-tough skin, they don't think anything or anyone can break them.
"You are not the first Superman I kill," I said calmly as a kryptonite-tipped limb easily dug into his heart and through it, to the rest of his body. His body fell limp as his strength joined mine, "Nor will you be the last." In a split second, flames, tidal waves, lightning, energy, wind and darkness all converged on my position. I laughed as the attacks sizzled to a grounding halt an inch away from me, the land shining with runes and glyphs that hadn't been there a second before.
"When we decide that justice follows the rules of the strong," I snarled, "Then we allow ourselves to be killed by those stronger than us," in an instant of time, I was already past Sailor Mercury. My left hand morphed into a claw, and as the Sailor Warrior's head was neatly detached from her body, her form disappeared in aetheric energies. Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto thrust both of their staves forward, but with the strength of Kryptonian flesh empowering my frame, they found themselves thrown back as their staves shattered abruptly.
I spun as my tail snaked out, hungry mouths spreading across its length as sharp talons rippled on the path towards their target. Sailor Venus' stone sword broke in hundred of pieces, while Serenity's shields of White Mana barely held back my whip-like right hand from piercing her.
She gave me a look filled with pity. I returned a determined expression of conquest. "Come on then," I hissed out. "No matter how many times you try, I will always prevail. I am your ruler, your God, your Tyrant. The sooner you kneel, the sooner this can end!"
Queen Serenity breathed as Mana welled deeply within her frame, her long blond hair rustling to an unseen breeze as countless white roses began to blossom on the ground around her. Up in the sky, a beautiful full moon appeared so bright and shining that it was a breath-taking view. The rest of the summoned Sailor Warriors disappeared back into the Aether that had birthed them, leaving behind Serenity to finish the fight.
"I'll never give up," Serenity whispered, "Because the day I do give up, it is the day that everyone I loved and cherished will be left behind. And I will never leave them behind! They died by your hands, Tyrant! All of them!" she clenched her hands as the White Mana increased in potency, the Moon up above coming down with enough strength to shatter the buildings. "So in the name of the moon and of justice, in the name of everything that is right in this world...in this multiverse...you will pay!"
I chuckled, and then lifted my left hand up towards the moon itself. "That's not justice," I whispered, "That's just revenge."
A singular black ray left the tip of my index finger, and the moon abruptly shattered, the White Mana gathered by Usagi until then dispersing in waves of tidal might, burning everything in their path as the concrete melted into dark tar, and the cars around us burned into nothing but blackened husks. In Queen Serenity's hands, a flawless staff made of pure moonlight remained. She clutched it and took a deep breath in turn.
"I will seal you through Time itself," she narrowed her eyes, energies of Blue and White Mana gathering throughout the Planes. "I will ensure that whatever future you arrive in, they will be ready for the likes of you!" she slammed the bottom of her staff against the ground, pillars rising across the entire city and surrounding both of us together, "My own life, I will stake into sealing you away, Tyrant!"
I did the most apt thing I could do.
I yawned, and then I began to hum.
Serenity's eyes widened as the staff in her hands suddenly cracked and split apart, the resulting explosion wiping away the entire surface of the city of Metropolis, crafting a crater that sent the Earth itself off orbit by a few millimeters. Serenity's body was on the ground, even as I broke free from my charred skin as if reborn anew, making my way towards her fallen form. I clenched and opened my hands, feeling the new muscles and the stronger bones.
"Ensure your priceless artifacts are immune to the harmonization of my voice before deploying them, silly child," I said as I came to a halt in front of her, before slamming my right foot against her back, making her cough in pain. "With all that power you just showed, why didn't you use it against the Eldrazi or Phyrexia, uh!? Why did you come for me, uh?!" I slammed my foot down against her back again, and again. "Why did you bother with me, I wonder!?" I knelt by her side, and clutched the back of her head, lifting it up so that my eyes could stare into hers.
"I can't...let you hurt...anyone else..." Serenity coughed. "Endymion...my daughter..."
"Your selfishness is noted," I whispered into her ear. "You who have the power to bestow immortality, and to aid those rebels of Zendikar, instead you chose to come hunt me down as if you had a chance...I am no Chaos, no pathetic evil that you can easily destroy with a swipe of your staff. I am the Slivers' finest product. I am the best our race has to offer. Challenges simply make me grow stronger, Queen Serenity!" I threw her backwards, dragging the back of her head and her body through the molten tar of the concrete as I slammed her against the crumbled walls of a once mighty skyscraper. "What did you think would happen!?" I slammed her against the crumbled wall once more. "Uh!?" I slammed her again.
Then, I let her go.
Tears fell down her cheeks.
"The reason you lost," I said as I turned my back on her, "Is because you are so young, you still have tears left to shed." I snapped my fingers, and jabbed them through the air to create a portal. "You will be a message to the rebels of Zendikar. Your battered and bruised body will be the warning they so direly deserve. Oppose the Tyrant, and suffer excruciating humiliation and defeat."
"J...Justice will prevail...in the end!" Serenity cried out, trying to stand, only to fail and fall face down on the ground, her eyes still firmly staring at my back.
"That's where you're wrong, kid," I said with a giggle. "In this Multiverse, Might makes Right. Thus...I am Justice."
Through the portal, a leather armored elf emerged just in time to witness me leave.
A few seconds later, and half a dozen Planeswalkers would have successfully managed to seal off the world.
I left before then.
My feet had barely touched the coarse sands of a pristine and pure white desert when my whole body collapsed.
Facing off both Yawgmoth in Fuuka's mind and Queen Serenity had taken its toll. I could still go on, but it was best I latched myself upon the Leylines of this world and consumed them to restore my energies.
Slowly, the desert began to buckle and cave in as I disappeared beneath the sands.
My hunger would be sated.
The city landscape I crashed into belonged to a metropolis of sorts. I took a deep breath as I slowly got back up on my feet, having hit the concrete of a busy intersection, much to the shock of the nearby people who had stopped their cars to gawk at my form. I took another breath, and then slammed my left hand against the ground, the colorless energy of the location burning through my skin as I felt it tug and energize me. I clicked my tongue, and the Psionic impulse burst into the air, sizzling portals spreading open as a barrage of shining discs descended on my location.
A glowing golden shield intercepted those near me, the fluttering cape of Superbia glinting silver as he placed his other hand on my shoulder.
"Father dearest," Superbia said. "Let Us handle this. Recover your strength."
I nodded as I took a few steps back, Superbia's form soon neared by other Slivers who began to twitch and morph, taking on a far more humanoid appearance as blades spread out from their arms.

@shadenight123 please tell me that Yawgmoth will be a intelegent opposing force that's an actual threat to Shadewalker, because IMO this fic is drowning in lame duck antogonists whose only purpose is to hurl Worf barrages at Shadewalker before he punches their face off at the end of the same chapter.
Along these lines the Doctor confrontation was actualy shaping up to be a pretty cool fight; I was suprised when they were actualy getting Shadewalker on the back foot, and was wondering what kind of guile plot he was going to pull to get out of the timelock, then the whole scene gets deus ex machina'ed into the sun for the sake of intrducing what appears to be a joke character.
If you want your SI to stomp on some dudes to show everyone how powerful he is thats fine, but when every fight scene can be summed up as "then I stopped sandbagging" it becomes way, way too much.

It also becomes really tiring if we've only seen one Planeswalker that was willing to follow the Edgetyrant's rules, and the rest are all shown as rebellious twats (inb4 Yamamoto's also plotting to be a rebellious twat). Then again, maybe they won't be all rebellious twats if the Edgetyrant didn't murder all of their friends and loved ones (see: Queen Serenity, The Doctor, Applejack) for shits and giggles, and thus create his own fucking problems.
inb4 this is all some contrived bullshit keikaku, forcing the rebel council to be strong enough to defeat Maximum Edgetyrant, thus they might actually have a sliver of a chance to also defeat the gigantic dragoncock that he sucks.

To be fair, these last two fights apparently DID take a noticeable toll on him. Most of the people he's stomped so far have been either alone, or neo walkers, which are WAY weaker than an oldwalker like shade.

Chapter Sixty-Six point Five (Zendikar)
"I told you it was foolish, sugarcube," Applejack said, resting her back on a chair, her armor still on as she clutched a sword in-between her legs, her human-like chin resting atop the handle of the blade. "But did ya listen? Nah, of course ya didn't."
"It worked," Nissa retorted, her body laid to rest on a bed made of hay, a thick wool sheet covering her as her head rested in rustling green leafs and amidst the roots of a caring tree. "Even that human brat was useful for something."
"Oh? Is that a sense of pride in your voice for a human, sugarcube?" Applejack raised both brows, a smile on her face clearly showing off her teeth.
"He's my apprentice," Nissa huffed. "That makes him slightly an elf. If only he kept his ears pointy at all times, it would be better."
Applejack chuckled, and grabbed hold of a stalk of grain to chew thoughtfully as she looked out of the window, the bright midday sun casting its warm rays over the land. "Ya know, it's been centuries. The borders...they've been pretty stable for a while."
Nissa clenched her hands into fists.
"I'm saying...we could get a vacation, go somewhere nice," Applejack said. "You could use the break."
"Use...the break..." Nissa mumbled, "Use the break?" she glared at Applejack. "My world is dying, and I should sip a frilly drink with a paper umbrella on a beach of a foreign world while it dies? Is that it?" she tried to stand, only to wince and bring her body to rest back down. "I will rest once they are defeated. I will rest once they all pay for what they did to my forest, to my people, to my world." Her eyes began to glow as she growled, clutching onto the sides of the bed only for Applejack to push her gently back down.
"Oi, oi, oi! Ye'r gonna help no one by hurting yerself!" Applejack placed both of her hands on Nissa's shoulders, holding her sword steady between her armored legs as she pushed the elf back down. "Don't get cray-cray until ye heard me till the end!" she pointed a finger at her, "Ya know that bastard doesn't care for the lives of anyone else. I know that better than you. Ya still have a world!" she said hotly, "but overtaxing yourself like this is killing ya. You can't protect your world if you're dead."
"Then I'll rest, but I'll do it here," Nissa hissed.
"Yeah? Then stop summoning your elementals each morning," Applejack said. "There's only so much land ye can lift up at a time, sugarcube. And what ye did...yeah, it was a pretty massive thing, but we ain't ready yet. Ye got yerself a scolding from Gideon. Do you want another?"
"It has been centuries," Nissa roared. "For centuries Zendikar has been eaten by the Eldrazi! For centuries have the Phyrexian held the land! There are generations who have known only of war since the day of their birth!" she clenched her fists. "And it will never end! As long as it stays open, the portals to parallel worlds will always bring in new forces!" Nissa gasped, clutching her chest as her breathing grew erratic. "Why can't we just end this, once and for all? Why must this pain drag itself on?"
"I dunno," Applejack mumbled, "But...ya ever think-"
"Make way!" a voice yelled from outside, and soon the guards that were stationed to protect the infirmary opened the doors to allow the healers to step through, carrying a wounded and bruised woman inside. "Make way!"
"Isn't that Serenity?" Applejack muttered, turning her head to take a better look, and finally deciding to stand up and near the healers fussing over her body, healing spells leaving their fingertips as they did their best to treat the bruises. "Oi, what happened?" she asked. "Serenity, can ya hear me!?"
"Please let us work," a healer said gruffly. The others close by nodded too, their eyes narrow as they concentrated.
Applejack took a couple of steps back, and then stormed out just in time to bounce against Gideon's form. The man was just about to enter, but came to an abrupt halt to avoid striking right against Applejack's breastplate.
"It was the Tyrant," Gideon said hotly. "She went ahead alone," he growled. "We think someone told her where he could be found in a weakened state."
"I can't rest then," Nissa groaned from the bed. "Without her guarding the South border, then...I have to..."
"We found substitutes," Gideon said quickly, pushing his way inside the infirmary, "A couple of new Planeswalkers whom the Tyrant didn't meet. He won't be able to exert any influence on them if he doesn't know which Plane they came from."
"Oh? Then I've got to meet them," she grinned as she rushed outside, only to stop mid-rush and bring her face back inside, "You stay there and rest!" she hollered towards Nissa, before returning to her dashing through the firm ground of the infirmary camp. In the middle of the courtyard, two new Sparks burned brightly. Just feeling them brush against her mind was enough to excite her.
Perhaps with these two added to the roster, they might just stand a stronger chance of rebuffing the enemy.
A silly and tiny whisper in the back of her head told her that no, it wouldn't make a difference.
It didn't matter how many Planeswalkers gathered.
It didn't matter how hard they fought.
Until the Portals of Parallels closed, they would face infinite enemies, and bring forth infinite allies.
She shook her head, and left the thought to die.
"I'm Negi," the hazel-haired young man said, "Negi Springfield," he grinned.
"I...I am Lelouch...only Lelouch," the other young man said.
"Nice to meet ya both," Applejack said, "Name's Applejack, and I'll show you the ropes. We ain't got much time to waste, but...first off, if ya want to run, feel free to do so. I mean...I know I shouldn't be the one saying this, but we could use your help. No, we really do need your help, but if you want to leave...then it's the best chance you've got right now."
She grinned even brighter when they both shook their heads.
Things were changing for the better.
She just knew it.

I wonder if it degenerates into an all out battle, would there be walkers who would throw their lot in with Shade and openly fight with him against the other walkers?
Edit: I mean average walkers...as average as they can get... deciding to fight for Shade because they support his rule/s.

I think Genryusai would be on his side, considering his worldview.

Damn Shade.
It's like you're taunting us.
Poor Applejack. This is a Shadenight123 fic. Nothing ever gets better

I actually hope they are, simply to have it bite the rebels on the ass.

Me too, but then you have corrupted planeswalkers. Though I love the fact that they don't think he knows where they're from.

Probably reason number one why he managed to climb to the top.
I figure in a battle of multi-dimensional deities, the one with the most info on their opponent is most likely to be victorious.

I'm putting my money on a Bolas plot.
The Tyrant said he'd return to the gravestone on Negi's 18. birthday and woe and behold, Negi shows up.
And the second walker? None other than mister "I have practical experience being a Tyrant". Mind, the fact that he introduced himself simply as Lelouch, only Lelouch, no family name, might indicate otherwise.
It could be a chibi Lelouch, in a reality where Nunnaly doesn't survive the invasion, causing his Spark to ignite. At this point he hadn't time yet to establish the Lamperouge persona.
