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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0izCvyjXe
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."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogwPswehzC
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?"251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmonjOKNxTH
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."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgInLnIj7DC
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."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Pl9fEzXG
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."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCs0AeodVg
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xpyxsl3CD

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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhm1dSK7eU
Despite the tension, Joker remained unfazed, his gaze coolly assessing the new arrival while Malacar instinctively prepared for combat.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1F5FjhxOU
"I pledge my allegiance to you," Nocturne declared, his voice resonating with a mix of vengeance and ambition. "I seek the destruction of Kaipo."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4CvUpCCzN
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."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0OlwtWPKU
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEfQAzFwaQ
