Kaipo stared at Joker, his eyes narrowing with a mix of anger and confusion. "Why did you betray Astralith, your own wife?" he demanded, his voice echoing through the devastated battlefield.
Joker's laughter was cold and devoid of any genuine amusement. "Astralith was merely a piece on a chessboard, Kaipo. A useful pawn in our grand plan."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RHMpLLwS0
Kaipo's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Our plan?" he echoed, the word hanging heavily in the air.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8a3e2Rd6y
Joker's smirk widened, and he called out, "Are you ready now?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn9sqyZibh
A voice, familiar and chilling, answered from the shadows. "Yeah, even though it was a long process, we finally reunite." A figure stepped into the light beside Joker, revealing none other than the Rogue High Mage Zack.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbn4jNr0F
Ivel's eyes widened in disbelief. "I defeated you, Zack. How can you be here?"
Kaipo's confusion deepened as he demanded, "What is the meaning of this?"
Joker chuckled darkly. "During the First Jewel War, I wasn't acting alone. I had help from the shadows—my brother, Zack."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucrczpBLph
Zack nodded, his expression a blend of satisfaction and malevolence. "Joker and I realized we still didn't have enough power to secure the Pure Heart. So, we made a binding vow to never see each other again until his revival. We took a gamble, dispersing Joker's power and hoping that someone would appear with the missing Jewel. And that someone was you, Kaipo, with the Tenth Jewel."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ugQaseMmJ
Kaipo and Ivel exchanged shocked glances as Zack continued. "During our conquest, a curse was placed on me, making me nearly immortal. After Joker's death, I assumed different roles, eventually infiltrating the Areala Universe as a Mage Squad Captain and then a High Mage."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9DwoEFrOl
Zack's smile turned sinister. "I grew bored of playing by the rules of the Areala Universe, so I decided to cause a little chaos, stirring confusion and discord."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J09WPjfu7
The revelation left Kaipo and Ivel reeling. Their minds raced to process the magnitude of the deception and betrayal they had just uncovered. The pieces of their past battles and alliances shifted in their understanding, revealing a web of manipulation and conspiracy that spanned decades.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv7wBLfbLs
