Black miasma fell from the sky. The chimera's body remained despite that. Its skin bubbled like boiling slime as it kept moving forward. Guisei's eyes shimmered at the sight. He let out a calm exhale, giving himself over to the marking's power. An image flickered in his mind of Mammon. The reiju within his body felt so similar but distant, yet an idea snuck its way into the boy's mind.

"This better work."

He dashed past Akihiko, letting his mind remember what he had done. His arm ached with the same pain from that night. Burning needles filled his lungs as golden sparks erupted from his palm. He remembered all the times other spoke of the Sins, and their power. Miracles even among those who wielded God-like power. With the chimera's dormant body in sight, he too would perform his first miracle...

The atmosphere shifted.

The Chimera's eyes flashed open to feel its chest struck with a power beyond its understanding. Sparks from Guisei's palm shivered through the chimera's form, overtaking its body.

Guisei looked into the Chimera's eyes as he muttered the incantation.

"True Curse Series Avaritia—Alchemic Thaumaturgy!!"

The chimera's skin shot back, spiking away from its body like an eternally expanding web. Guisei's eyes took on an odd glimmer of silver once he planted his feet. With a single breath, he pushed the chimera away, launching it into the air above Limbo, splitting the sky.

Erena's question flickered through Guisei's mind.

"Do you have a dream, Guisei?"

He gave an honest response as his body fell to the earth.

"If I ever find you again, I'll tell you, Erena."
