"Now then... let the game begin!"

Watching Higokumaru leave, Dark Seele could not help but smile cruelly.

"Other me, how much longer are you going to keep this up? The remaining tasks don't require such slaughter!"

The consciousness of the surface personality echoed in Dark Seele's mind, sounding somewhat helpless. The surface personality could only watch the inner personality slaughter madly, yet was completely unable to stop her.

However, like her husband Izanagi, the Father of the Gods of the Far East, Izanami did not involve herself in affairs. She handed the authority to govern Yomi
