Effect Audio Ares S II × Cadmus II (A×C)

On the blood-soaked field of quaking ground,
Ares roars, his power profound.
Amid the chaos, sharp and bright,
Cadmus wields clarity, pure as light.

Intertwined, their essence refined,
A union of forces perfectly aligned.
With newfound dynamics, both high and low,
They master the spectrum, a flawless flow.
