After touching the mysterious yellow orb, Lyn and Levi stood silently, waiting for a surge of power or insight. When nothing immediate happened, they exchanged glances, puzzled.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Ri30ey4Y
Kaipo, observing their reaction, explained, "The power embedded within the orb will activate when you truly need it—when your backs are against the wall. It's designed as a last stand measure." He paused, then added, "It’s your Essence Manifest, a reflection of your deepest essence brought forth in dire times."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapcrO2kJ61
Levi, a hint of curiosity in his voice, asked, "Why did you send me and Zara to retrieve this orb from The Luminar Concordia Universe?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuM1075Gjx
Kaipo's response came with a thoughtful nod. "I discovered it in a lost dimension. To avoid drawing attention to its power, I smuggled it into The Luminar Concordia Universe, posing as a trader. It needed to be tested discreetly."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ljmf4Z1N
With a swift motion, Kaipo absorbed the remaining energy of the yellow orb, ensuring nothing was left. "Now, I must confront Joker Oginam in the middle of the Land of Spade, where I suspect Astralith and Malacar are also present."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ75N64Gf4
Before Levi could mention their concerns about Zack's whereabouts, Kaipo interrupted, "Zack has chosen his path against us. Focus on the threats at hand."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMRRvhKWV3
The revelation of Zack’s betrayal hung heavy in the air, but Lyn and Levi nodded in understanding, their resolve hardening for the challenges ahead.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK16SCFPQf

The narrative then shifted to the middle of the Land of Spade, where the formidable trio of Joker, Astralith, and Malacar stood. Their meeting was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of Nocturne: Zenith Avatar, his form formidable and intent clear.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1755JzH0k
Despite the tension, Joker remained unfazed, his gaze coolly assessing the new arrival while Malacar instinctively prepared for combat.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh41YJFtcF
"I pledge my allegiance to you," Nocturne declared, his voice resonating with a mix of vengeance and ambition. "I seek the destruction of Kaipo."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD7VIL8WbB
Joker considered Nocturne’s offer, then decided to test his resolve. Activating one of his powerful abilities, "Ultimate Weaponization," he conjured an array of spectral weapons, each radiating immense power. "Fight me. Survive until Kaipo arrives, and I will accept your alliance."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK6XFSFvCQ
As the chapter closed, Nocturne braced himself, the air charged with the imminent clash of titans, setting the stage for a confrontation that could reshape the alliances and power dynamics within the Land of Spade.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytxBpaBU9f
