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.194Please respect copyright.PENANABXMehQ8VrF
"Adonai, go find where the 'power source' we sensed from the Land of Spade is located," Joker ordered. His voice dripped with confidence.194Please respect copyright.PENANAOFn9poE2ng
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.194Please respect copyright.PENANAtYwaTDpLNZ
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.194Please respect copyright.PENANAauKVm2w6TF
Joker’s smile grew even more sinister. "You think your power can compare to mine?" he taunted.194Please respect copyright.PENANAGhbhFpEnK2
The strange mage’s expression remained calm. "Perhaps you should consider questioning your own power," he replied, his voice steady and confident.194Please respect copyright.PENANAn6kK0uv40q
"What do you mean?" Joker's grin faltered slightly.194Please respect copyright.PENANAMT5Y8nBkKs
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."194Please respect copyright.PENANA44fYF8hkOs
Joker's eyes narrowed. "Impossible. I gained the Corrupt Heart from those 9 Jewels. This battle will prove who is right."194Please respect copyright.PENANANpJpj6yErm
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."194Please respect copyright.PENANAtQwMj8rFuS
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.194Please respect copyright.PENANAvBckHmF5DD
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."194Please respect copyright.PENANABI7jugYc08
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.194Please respect copyright.PENANA6HC8URRaQI
