Golden Morning refers to Scion's attack on various alternate Earths after being convinced to do so by Jack Slash. Over the course of four days, the rampage resulted in the deaths of tens of billions of people, possibly far more, before Scion was finally killed.
Plot
Trapped in Gray Boy's time loop, Jack talks to Scion, convincing him that he should revert to violence instead of continue helping people. Scion, hoping to find meaning, obliterates Great Britain with a single blast in order to experiment. Discovering that the act made him feel satisfied, Scion determined to continue exploring experiences of dealing destruction and attacked the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and Canada, killing tens of millions in a strafing run.
Scion also experimented with different methods of killing, such as trapping a group of people in a ring of fire that slowly burned inward.
The heroes staged several attacks on Scion, as well as evacuating most of the survivors to various parallel Earths. Scion discovered the Cauldron compound containing his dead partner and destroyed it.
Scion was eventually defeated by Khepri.
