The battle escalated as Astralith invoked her formidable ability, "Flux," manipulating the very fabric of time and space around them. The air thickened, reality seeming to warp and bend at her command. Speeds shifted erratically, some movements accelerating to blurs while others froze in place, creating a disorienting battlefield that favored her and Joker.102Please respect copyright.PENANAKVkPtUX5jd
Amid the chaos, Joker seamlessly complemented Astralith’s manipulation with his own potent power, "Domain Creation." He began to weave the fabric of a new reality around them, a pocket universe tailored to his whims. Within this domain, the laws of physics bowed to his will, isolating Levi and Lyn from any external support. As the domain solidified, Joker's voice echoed ominously across the battlefield, his tone philosophical yet menacing.102Please respect copyright.PENANALZbQ9SUOSf
"Life, in its essence, is about survival," Joker proclaimed, his gaze sweeping over Lyn and Levi with a predatory gleam. "The weak must be culled, and only the strong shall prevail. It is not cruelty, but necessity that dictates this law."102Please respect copyright.PENANAaWeqIKnkWG
He paused, his eyes narrowing as he prepared to unleash a fate similar to what Nocturne had suffered. "And now, it's time to erase your existence, just as I did with the Zenith Avatar."102Please respect copyright.PENANApsiFlJoGGU
However, just as Joker readied his decisive strike, the air vibrated with the potent call of "Essence Manifest!" Levi and Lyn, their backs against the wall, tapped into the deepest reserves of their power, their souls resonating with their most profound beliefs and emotions.102Please respect copyright.PENANACMWTsr1ULn
Levi's form blazed with an intense, radiant light as he activated his Essence Manifest, the Bladestorm Covenant. His body and Blade of God became one, wrapped in a sharp, cutting aura that made the air around him sing with the threat of lethal precision. Ethereal swords, translucent and resonating with power, floated around him, each one a testament to his mastery of the blade.102Please respect copyright.PENANAGH2ZFyCWp3
Simultaneously, Lyn transformed under the influence of his Abyssal Umbra Sovereign. The area around him darkened perceptibly, as if light itself was being devoured by the expanding shadow at his core. His presence became a nexus of darkness, with tendrils of shadow weaving into the fabric of the realm, his eyes glowing with an unfathomable dark fire.102Please respect copyright.PENANAlQEwGUSVp6
The sudden surge of power from Levi and Lyn paused the advance of Joker and Astralith, the intensity of the Essence Manifests presenting a new challenge that even they had not anticipated. Joker, his face breaking into a grin, let out a hearty laugh, appreciating the turn of events as only a true connoisseur of chaos could.102Please respect copyright.PENANAxT0qV8qcjw
"Excellent!" Joker exclaimed, his enthusiasm undimmed by the potential threat. "This is the spirit I wished to see! Let the true test of strength begin!"102Please respect copyright.PENANAx6pH5a16Z6
With that declaration, the chapter closed, leaving the battlefield charged with the raw energies of unleashed potential. Joker and Astralith, now facing the fully awakened powers of Levi and Lyn, prepared to engage in a clash that would undoubtedly shake the very foundations of the Land of Spade. The air was thick with anticipation, the promise of a confrontation that could redefine the limits of power and resolve.102Please respect copyright.PENANAAS6tcsQbNi
