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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlshMfs9UFy
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."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC6IgrwDM3
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?"256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnPJ9plRfl
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."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtscE7yQaw
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."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CzuMEtfmn
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."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3hjIcLAEj
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKdu2jQ8y9

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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJh5lgiN4c
Despite the tension, Joker remained unfazed, his gaze coolly assessing the new arrival while Malacar instinctively prepared for combat.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjIaZj6H59
"I pledge my allegiance to you," Nocturne declared, his voice resonating with a mix of vengeance and ambition. "I seek the destruction of Kaipo."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNKIyRLkgT
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."256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbBmfO3V3V
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.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIG5N1cFlq
