The air was thick with tension as Joker and the strange mage faced off on the other side. The landscape was a stark contrast to the vibrant Land of Spade, filled with dark, swirling energies and towering, ancient structures. Joker’s sinister grin widened as he turned to his brother.167Please respect copyright.PENANAe4rlzWFCc1
"Adonai, go find where the 'power source' we sensed from the Land of Spade is located," Joker ordered. His voice dripped with confidence.167Please respect copyright.PENANAhlQ8wZ6I0H
The strange mage, clad in dark robes that seemed to shimmer with hidden power, laughed. "He won't ever be able to find it," he mocked, his eyes locked onto Joker's.167Please respect copyright.PENANADLjasCTVlP
Adonai, who had not yet awakened the Blade of God, nodded and left to carry out the search, leaving Joker and the strange mage alone. As Adonai disappeared into the distance, the strange mage turned his full attention back to Joker.167Please respect copyright.PENANARLyrXmXrdM
Joker’s smile grew even more sinister. "You think your power can compare to mine?" he taunted.167Please respect copyright.PENANACKFBFesaNY
The strange mage’s expression remained calm. "Perhaps you should consider questioning your own power," he replied, his voice steady and confident.167Please respect copyright.PENANAb5fQHqU8U9
"What do you mean?" Joker's grin faltered slightly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAabVYBHzjUy
The strange mage took a step forward. "The 9 Jewels you believe you have, are actually fragments of one of the 9 Jewels that we possess here on the other side. You sought to gain the Pure Heart, but you failed. Even though you have 9 Jewels, they are mere fragments. We hold the other 8 Jewels, and they are complete."167Please respect copyright.PENANAfx8Za1gEjo
Joker's eyes narrowed. "Impossible. I gained the Corrupt Heart from those 9 Jewels. This battle will prove who is right."167Please respect copyright.PENANAWbX8t9R8Lm
The strange mage, unperturbed, raised his hand, and the other 8 Jewels manifested from the safe where they were kept. "We use our Jewels for the betterment of the Other Side and our 5 Universes. You use yours for your own goals and benefits."167Please respect copyright.PENANAsNy4E4qylE
With a swift, decisive motion, the strange mage activated the power of the 8 Jewels. An overwhelming wave of energy erupted, engulfing Joker. The power was beyond anything Joker had ever encountered. He tried to fight back, but the force was too immense. In one devastating move, the strange mage defeated Joker.167Please respect copyright.PENANACgPR1Fnold
Joker, battered and humiliated, was forced to flee before he was killed. As he stumbled away, the strange mage called after him, his voice echoing with authority. "Remember my name, Joker. I am Novachro. And even though it might be a different mage from the Land of Spade that pursues us next, they will know who stood against you."167Please respect copyright.PENANAZOr4hfDA0h
Joker fled back to the Land of Spade, his mind reeling from the defeat and the revelations. The name Novachro burned in his memory, a reminder of the power he had faced and failed to overcome.167Please respect copyright.PENANAzohSo7dMF9
