Chapter 1063 Death
Kisuke wasn't done yet and pulled his hand out from the wall before muttering, "5th Gate: Acceptance."
Kisuke knew that he was outclassed by Chaos in almost all aspects and if he wanted even a little bit of a chance to suppress him, he needed to use everything he could manage, focus it, and hit him where it hurts the most.
Stepping on the wall and pushing against it, Kisuke instantly made a big crater in it and shook the entire structure of the Dungeon as he launched himself toward the headless Chaos.
Kisuke positioned his sword horizontally and swung it with all of his momentum and strength when Chaos came within his reach. The headless man moved his arm to block Kisuke's blade but it did nothing except allow himself to be cut along his torso. The cutting power behind his sword was so strong that it left a deep scar along the walls of the dungeon.
But despite this, Kisuke couldn't be happy as he could see small tentacles emerging from the bisected part and reconnecting themselves. Kisuke reached out his free hand and pointed it towards Chaos, "Hadou no 88, Shin Hiryuu Gekizoku Shinten Raihou (Flying Dragon-Striking Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon)!"
A modified Kidou that truly encompasses the majesty and pride of a Dragon thanks to the experience he got from the real thing. Instead of a normal blue gigantic blast of Spiritual Power and Ki, it took the shape of an Eastern Dragon and was mixed with his own bloody aura giving it a deep red color. The blood 'Dragon' swallowed the bisected Chaos whole and attempted to incinerate him into nothing inside its 'stomach' while also pushing him deep into the Dungeon's wall.

On the outside, the battlefield is only heating up now with Issei, Vali, Crom, and Sairaog in the lead against the more than five thousand Deities that suddenly teleported on the surface. Although they were still weakened, even if only by a bit since Chaos removed the poison that Kisuke had given them and most of them already had the power to fight back.

Kisuke wanted to continue his assault but he had to stop momentarily to cool down. If not, he'd only be shooting himself in the foot.
As he tried to calm down the turbulent energy within him, Kisuke carefully watched Chaos and saw him effortlessly regenerate everything that he did to him, 'That easy? As expected... I have to anchor his existence somewhere first before I can think of killing him.'
However, Kisuke could also see that Chaos was not left unscathed. Although he looked fine, there's something about him that's a bit weaker from their first encounter, 'Alright... Time to push him to the edge.'
Kisuke pointed his sword forward and his red hagoromo from his Shunkou wrapped around his blade as he muttered, full of killing intent, "...Ban...Kai."
From the five 'eyes' behind him, five mechanical fingers with a blade on their tips slowly emerged. Soon, red, shining outlines drew themselves on these giants and menacing fingers and red strings of energy materialized around Kisuke himself. As his aura exploded multiple times over, he continued, "Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame..."
Using the power provided by his Shunkou and the path that the Hougyoku left behind before it disappeared, Kisuke unlocked a new form of his Bankai that seems to have fused with him instead of normally materializing.
At the same time, however, Chaos also finished regenerating as if nothing happened to him. Except, he has this incredibly pissed expression and he turned his deep dark eyes to Kisuke. He ignored this new and strange form and with a pissed voice, he uttered softly, "You pest... Die in ignorance."
Kisuke had been stronger than ever, but unfortunately for him, his lack of complete information regarding Chaos finally bit him back... And Chaos bit hard.
He didn't know when, but Kisuke suddenly found himself floating in the darkness where there was nothing. He couldn't tell if he was standing or falling. He couldn't tell if he was breathing or not. He couldn't tell if he was blinded or if it was just the absence of light. He couldn't see his own body and feel his own aura. It's as if his mind alone was transported to a very dark world.
However, he could feel dread and just now, he had a strange feeling that his left flank entirely disappeared despite not having any senses. In all of his life after his reincarnation, death had never been closer.
