Kaipo, the ruler of the Areala Universe, stood at the threshold, his presence overwhelming. His face, usually calm and composed, now bore a look of profound betrayal and sadness. "To think you played me for a fool this whole time, Zack," he said, his voice resonant with a mixture of disbelief and pain.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qVInUdvw8
Zack responded with a light, mocking tone, while Malumnox let out a short, scornful laugh. The levity of their response starkly contrasted with the gravity of the moment.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3usRXrugNn
Kaipo's expression remained unchanged, his gaze piercing and serious. "If this is truly your choice, so be it," he declared solemnly. Then, with a solemn intensity, he invoked a powerful and rare technique, "Essence……Manifest………..ChronoGenesis Nexus."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ak1actdSL
Kaipo explained, his voice steady despite the storm of emotions visible in his eyes, "This technique, born from the deepest part of one's soul, reflects one's true essence and is used only in the most dire of circumstances." As he spoke, his form began to blur and shift, surrounded by a radiant halo that flickered between the glowing energies of life and the dark void-like shadows of anti-magic. His movements left trails of shimmering light, each touch imbued with the paradoxical powers of healing warmth and chilling nullification.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpgiVf1Waq
The hall erupted into chaos as Kaipo launched into action, striking both Malumnox and Zack with a speed they couldn't match. His attacks were precise and relentless, forcing Malumnox to react defensively.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BALbGHDdu
With little choice left, Malumnox conjured a "Void Orb," a dark sphere crackling with energy, and activated it to teleport himself and Zack outside the confines of the throne room. The orb enveloped them in darkness briefly before releasing them into the open air outside the kingdom's ruins.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9THyOTDoU
However, as they reoriented themselves, they realized Kaipo had anticipated their move. He was already there, waiting, his figure a blur of motion against the backdrop of the desolate landscape.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLNbTEVXv0
The chapter concludes with Kaipo poised for combat, the tension palpable in the charged atmosphere. The looming confrontation promised a clash not just of powers but of ideals, pitting Kaipo's righteous fury against Zack's betrayal and Malumnox's cunning. The stage was set for a battle that could reshape the destiny of not just the Land of Spade but the cosmos itself.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27iCBxmZl
