The flashback continued, revealing the grim aftermath of Zack's fateful duel with King Ivel. With Zack cursed and uncertain of his future, Joker unleashed his wrath upon the Land of Spade and the five universes, turning into a harbinger of chaos and destruction. His once ambitious goal of obtaining the Pure Heart was eclipsed by a newfound thirst for power and dominance. The Luminar Concordia Universe, Abyssos, the Heavenly Ethereal Universe, the Astralith Universe, and the Malevolent Cosmos Universe all felt the weight of Joker's rage. Entire cities were razed, kingdoms toppled, planets destroyed, and civilizations plunged into despair.
Joker's transformation into a monster was complete. His insatiable hunger for control and his disregard for the plan he and Zack had once shared drove a wedge between the brothers. Zack, witnessing the horrors Joker inflicted, realized that his brother had strayed too far from their original vision. The bond they had was irreparably damaged. Determined to part ways with Joker, Zack approached him with a heavy heart.
"Joker, we can't continue like this," Zack said, his voice firm but tinged with sorrow. "Your actions have brought nothing but pain and destruction. This isn't what we set out to do.
Joker's eyes, filled with a mixture of anger and desperation, met Zack's. "You think I don't know that, Zack? You think I haven't realized how far I've fallen?" He paused, taking a deep breath. "But I need you. We need each other. Just once more, Zack. Help me set a plan in motion for the future."
Zack, still possessing a kind and forgiving heart, felt a pang of sympathy for his brother. Despite everything, he couldn't completely abandon the bond they shared. "Fine, Joker. I'll help you one last time. But after this, we go our separate ways."
Together, they crafted a plan for Joker's revival in the distant future. It was intricate, involving ancient magics and complex rituals that would ensure Joker's return. They also devised a plan for Zack's potential revival, though Zack would soon discover that the curse placed upon him by King Ivel had an unexpected side effect: it granted him eternal life. As the years passed, Zack noticed that he never aged. The curse of Ivel had bound him not only to victory but also to an immortal existence.
Realizing the implications of his curse, Zack decided to go into seclusion, putting on a disguise as a mage in the Astralith Universe and waiting for the time when he and Joker would reunite as planned. The brothers parted ways, each carrying the weight of their choices and the consequences they would face. FLASHBACK OVER.
