No Coincidence

To test Susanoo's compatibility, crimson flames rose from the Shinigami Blade and met the green flames covering Susanoo's surface, continuously clashing and merging. Then Yin-Yang Release power surged from Mizuki's body. The fused flames turned black, wrapping around the Shinigami Blade before spreading across the Butterfly Warrior's entire body.

The Butterfly Warrior swung its longsword to test it. It certainly looked imposing, but...

"It looks convincing enough, but it doesn't seem very strong!"

Other than the Shinigami Blade's ability to reap souls and the power of Yin-Yang Release flames, all that remained was brute force and the spiritual attack inherent to spiritual obsession itself. Though the Butterfly Warrior looked dazzlingly beautiful, aside from enhancing Susanoo's own defense, it was not actually as formidable as imagined!
