My rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
In his bunker, the Leader meets with Himmelmann who promised him great things and delivered (though neglected to say how long The Leader would have them). The Leader gives Himmelmann a piece of the Key of Abaddon that he found through his conquest as part of their agreement and Himmelmann gives the Leader a bottle of pills and shooting advice before leaving. Decades later after working with the Man of Steel, Himmelmann now going by Westerlicht takes with a politician on top of Mount Rushmore promising to help him "achieve" his destiny to leading the titular "last kingdom" which he shows the politician from the mountain top.
A nice blending of history and Apocalyptic Last Day events, though there are some misinterpretations of the Book of Revelation but a nice call back to Temptation of Christ in the Gospels. Overall a nice short story.
