A flash of surprise crossed Hishiki's eyes. He had never seen Otsutsuki Genshiki so serious. Just what secret did that man Gigue hold?
Genshiki had eyes only for Gigue now. His eyes narrowed, and his figure turned insubstantial. The moment Gigue saw it, he swung his blade behind him.

Possessing Chaos Power himself, he knew better than anyone how terrifying it was. One mistake, and even he could
