While the conventional leadership believed they have found a new machine to worship as a god, the younger more ambitious sect of the Splicers believed they could use SIVA to become the machines they worship. Aksis was the first to do so, reaching apotheosis and becoming more machine than Fallen. The Splicers under Aksis then used SIVA to bring back the Devil's Prime Servitor, Sepiks, to prove the technology's worth to the rest of their brethren. However, since SIVA is completely new to the Fallen, the Splicers sought the means to control and understand. Therefore, they traveled to [[Mars]], taking a risk with the [[Cabal]], to learn from [[Clovis Bray]]'s archives as they were the original creators of SIVA. The Fallen were able to gain a basic understanding from the archives but the Cabal arrived and drove them away, preventing them from learning anymore. | While the conventional leadership believed they have found a new machine to worship as a god, the younger more ambitious sect of the Splicers believed they could use SIVA to become the machines they worship.

With what they've learned, the Fallen were able to find [[Site 6]], the replication center for SIVA, in the [[Plaguelands]] and reactivated it to produce more for themselves, twisting the land into their headquarters in the process. In the process of learning about SIVA, the Devil Splicers also learned about the original Iron Lords that sealed SIVA away and believed that they could learn more about SIVA from the Iron Lords fortress of the [[Iron Temple]]. With a force of Devils under the command of [[Sepiks Perfected]], the Fallen hoped to gain more knowledge of SIVA from within and destroy the temple to ensure the Guardians couldn't find a way to stop them. However, [[Lord Saladin]] learned of their plan and lead the Guardian to [[Felwinter Peak]] to defend the temple. Despite the Fallen's numbers and Sepiks' new powers, they failed to breach the temple.

The Devils' attack on the temple would begin the conflict called the [[SIVA Crisis]], the battle between the Devil Splicers and the Guardians. | ||
Meanwhile, the Devils and their Splicers breached the Cosmodrome Wall to gain a better entry into the Plaguelands and to melt down the wall's metal for processing. With SIVA, the Devils were even able to drive both the [[House of Kings]] and the [[Hive]] out of their holdouts, leaving the majority of Old Russia under the Devils control, though the Hive continued to harass the Splicers despite their new abilities. | Meanwhile, the Devils and their Splicers breached the Cosmodrome Wall to gain a better entry into the Plaguelands and to melt down the wall's metal for processing.

However, the Devil Splicers rise to prominence would be short-lived as the Guardians, under the guided leadership of Saladin and [[Shiro-4]], destroyed the Splicers' connection to SIVA and breached their defenses in the [[Archon's Forge]]. As the Guardians entered Site 6 and faced the SIVA-corrupted Remnants of the Iron Lords, the Splicers joined them to prevent the Guardians from initiating the replication centers self-destruct sequence. Their efforts were nonetheless in vain as the Guardian defeated the Remnants and destroyed the replication center, thereby preventing the Devil Splicers from making anymore SIVA. However, the Splicer's stilled had a substantial amount of SIVA left and with Aksis and Sepiks still alive, the Devil Splicers remained a significant threat. | |||
Meanwhile, as the Devil Splicers became close to "godhood", they recklessly began experiments to destroy their enemies and create new weapons. Under the direction of [[Kovik, Splicer Priest]], the Splicers began to capture and experiment on the Hive, either to enslave the Hive or harness their biology. In this act, the Hive began an all-out war with the Splicers. The Guardians intervened to prevent the Splicers from gaining control of the Hive or to create the weapons, as they feared such experiments could mean the end for the Last City. The Guardians were able to stop the splicers by killing Kovik and putting a stop to their assaults on the [[Moon]] for more test subjects. | |||
Ultimately, the power of the Devil Splicers came to end when the Guardians, now a new generation of Iron Lords, attacked the Devil Splicers lair, killed their second-in-command [[Vosik, the Archpriest]], destroyed Sepiks for good in a strike, destroyed their [[Siege Engine]]'s and finally their leader, Archon Aksis in his own [[Perfection Complex]]. With Aksis and his followers gone, the new Iron Lords ended the threat of the SIVA-mutated Devil Splicers. | |||
