"Given how you are defending the city folks and the fleet of Ys, you appear to be working to his side, more so than forming your own. Can you really call yourself a different breed, when your strongest soldiers derive from the same stone offered to me by Daiba who transformed many reincarnated into servants of the Falcons?" Ganishka calls you similar to the enemy you so claim to face, being friends with apostles and taking a government forged in the bloodstained hands of slavery, you are quick to dismiss him.
"Know this, Ganishka. The chains of fate are bound into the flesh of apostles. If you plan to utilize the behelit you made from those very same apostles, you would only seal your fate as a pawn to the god hand's goals. You would create a prison of your own flesh, from which you would never escape from the grasp of causality to achieve your ambitions. Of course, that's assuming your sense of self would even still remain intact after diving into such a deep layer of the abyss and melding with so many other souls."
"I would advise you to spare me the lecture, given how no mere human would be able to do what your crew have displayed so far. Do you intend to convince me that apostles seeking power is something to be looked down upon, when your fiend of a leader has deprived me from the ability to WALK?!" The proxy apostle strikes at your direction. You preemptively instruct Gunpowder to move before Ganishka could produce electricity, but the rupturing of his eardrum left him off-balance.
You were ready to be incinerated, were it not for Serpico springing into action and deflecting the bolt back at a Makara.
"Seems like this is all I'm doing for the time being..." Serpico stays stiff onto the dirt path created by the gnomes, almost falling into the sea if Violet didn't snatch him back to the Seahorse.
"So much for the warriors who defeated my army." Ganishka sends out more of his lightning strikes, attempting to simultaneously hit Violet, Guts and Gunpowder at the same time. Though Serpico and Hyde remained safe as they returned into the Seahorse, Guts was struck with so much force that Schierke's spirit was disrupted from their soul bond, sending her straight back into her body as Guts fell over the upside down boat.
The conducting of electricity by the Makara leave you with added potency of conductable electricity, sending Gunpowder onto the floor as the bolt trips you over.
"GUNPOWDER!"
"I see you value your mount. Despite having fought relentlessly through the night, you still show admirable force by withstanding my power--"
