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.145Please respect copyright.PENANAzdG1HOTp9C
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."145Please respect copyright.PENANAB4zuWkYdd1
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?"145Please respect copyright.PENANAvEm1M8y3Tu
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."145Please respect copyright.PENANAE1wrQbvomV
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."145Please respect copyright.PENANAPW0PohsRbI
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."145Please respect copyright.PENANAWhgoJZe8mF
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.145Please respect copyright.PENANAo4rQmied1t

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.145Please respect copyright.PENANACWMqzBiSt4
Despite the tension, Joker remained unfazed, his gaze coolly assessing the new arrival while Malacar instinctively prepared for combat.145Please respect copyright.PENANAzxwPzQblwU
"I pledge my allegiance to you," Nocturne declared, his voice resonating with a mix of vengeance and ambition. "I seek the destruction of Kaipo."145Please respect copyright.PENANAJDKX1U7bPc
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."145Please respect copyright.PENANAk9h3Ty5OA0
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.145Please respect copyright.PENANAybVfr05FMt
