"Second Act: Netherworld Devours the Human Heart, Withering and Falling Beneath the Yellow Springs!"
As the blood-red longsword in Yoru Machi's hand withered like a flower, countless Higanbana petals began to drift down through the previously pitch-black space.
Yhwach's "Conquest Altar" was also being rapidly corroded away, like snow melting beneath a warm spring sun.
