Inside the hall of Gremory Castle, the chill of magic gradually faded.
Sirzechs still knelt on the floor, his expression numb.
Grayfia stood obediently at Tobirama Uchiha's side.
"My lord, the Gremory Family deserves death a thousand times over."
An aged voice, thick with fear, broke the silence.
Grand Duke Gremory entered, his face deathly pale.
His legs trembled like dead leaves in the wind.
He looked at his son, now a broken man with a vacant stare.
Then he looked at Grayfia, who had become the god's maid.
Grand Duke Gremory collapsed to the floor.

like a category-five hurricane in just half a day.
The Underworld plunged into chaos unlike anything it had ever known.
"That human is beyond anything
