Ultrakill animation - Ocean Styx

Some calamity has struck the mortal world. What once was The River Styx has now grown to an unfathomable ocean. A million weeping souls pouring in each day that the shores can barely contain. A tearful tide spilling over at each end, bow to stern. crying for mercy, begging for safe passage. But not all souls can pay and these old hands can only take so many coins.

Then one day. the current shifted. Wave after wave for minutes on end of millions, billions, as though the throat of the world was cut wide and the head wrenched back to speed the pour. I didn't have time to react. The weariness from my ceaseless work claimed me and I slipped beneath the roiling
sea, into the depths of the Ocean Styx, my fate sealed by the crushing masses of endless bodies.

Suddenly, there was a light as brilliant as the Lord himself, there was ushering me from the darkness with mighty arms that held me with such compassion and warmth as I have never known:
"Be not afraid, sinner. Your devotion to God shows goodness in you; plentiful indeed. The heart is willing but the body must rest, lest you squander one of the Lord's creations."

His gentle words eased the pain and mended my wounds. My face wet with tears of relief, my words muffled by the weight of my duty. I could only lay in reverence, carried in the embrace of majesty.
Radiant is Gabriel, for he is the light in my darkness.
