In "The Genius," the Sword confronts a brilliant but terrifying adversary whose mind holds the power to reshape war—though not with weapons, but with a single, devastating idea. A man of small stature and immense intellect, the Genius wields strategy and calculation as weapons, leaving the Sword to face not just a foe, but the chilling weight of what one mind can imagine.
