In a serene, infinite space of light blue calmness, Ivel floated, his consciousness slowly returning. He woke up with a start, his eyes wide with confusion and shock. He looked around, trying to make sense of his surroundings. The tranquility of the space was a stark contrast to the chaos he had just endured.178Please respect copyright.PENANACkohJ5sUBn
"Where am I?" he muttered to himself, his voice echoing softly in the vastness.178Please respect copyright.PENANAyD0iD7xSTB
A figure began to float towards him, their face obscured by the soft glow of the space. Ivel felt a twinge of fear and curiosity. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice wavering slightly.
The figure's voice was calm and reassuring. "You know who I am, Ivel. You just have to think."178Please respect copyright.PENANA56qqb5EdeI
As soon as the word "think" left the figure's lips, they placed a gentle finger on Ivel's forehead. In an instant, Ivel was propelled backward through time and space, his surroundings shifting rapidly.178Please respect copyright.PENANAERx55rw9Sw
He found himself standing in his childhood village, a place he hadn't seen in years. The village was just as he remembered it, right before it was attacked. He saw his younger self, Levi, along with the future members of The Sovereign Requiem. There was Levi (8), Cairo (8), Jaxon (9), Mira (6), Echo (8), Serena (7), Selene (7), Orion (10), and Raven (8), all playing happily in a grassy field.178Please respect copyright.PENANAHvQhTCuahF
Ivel smiled, a bittersweet expression on his face as he watched the scene. These were the friends he had lost, the ones he had sworn to avenge. Despite the sadness, there was a sense of peace in seeing them again, even if it was just a memory.178Please respect copyright.PENANAa4UEPsLusb
The scene shifted to a young Levi at 15, discovering the Blade of God in a hidden valley. The excitement and awe on his face were palpable as he returned to a hideout to show The Sovereign Requiem. The same figure from the blue space stood beside Ivel, observing the memory.178Please respect copyright.PENANAmdjImV8Jkm
"Do you see, Ivel?" the figure began. "The Blade of God is not just a weapon. It is a legacy, a testament to the strength and determination of its wielder."178Please respect copyright.PENANAdcKrbSuzC5
Ivel nodded, still entranced by the memory. "Zack was formidable with the Blade of God. His power, at its peak, even surpassed Joker."178Please respect copyright.PENANAq8OK8QCPew
The figure continued, "But Zack did not forge or find the Blade of God. He awakened it. His true name was not always Zack. He was once known as 'Adonai,' a name meaning 'lord' or 'master,' a name that was used to reference God."178Please respect copyright.PENANARQZNsiGU61
Ivel's eyes widened in realization. "Adonai... Zack was Adonai."
The scene faded, and Ivel found himself back in the serene blue space. The figure spoke once more, their voice filled with wisdom and encouragement. "So, I guess you've figured it out."178Please respect copyright.PENANAm7wDGVMyOm
Ivel looked at the figure and smiled, a newfound determination in his eyes. "Blade of Ivel, awaken."178Please respect copyright.PENANAOJSdHy6VWL
Back on the battlefield, Zack was still seated on the ground, recovering from his recent battle. Suddenly, a massive blue beam of light struck the ground with tremendous force, shaking the very foundations of the Land of Spade. Zack looked up, his eyes widening in surprise and joy.178Please respect copyright.PENANAUsORudVtmR
Sith the battlefield bathed in the ethereal glow of the blue light, a new power was awakened in the midst of the chaos. The stage was set for the next confrontation, one that would shake the very fabric of reality itself.178Please respect copyright.PENANAb74WUfGY4c
