The entire Land of Spade was engulfed in darkness after the colossal explosion from Kaipo's collision with Joker and the Tenth Jewel. The Heavenly Aegis continued to protect the High Mages from the devastating aftermath. Zara quickly activated her Blue Flame Aura, illuminating the area and allowing her and the other High Mages to regroup.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvr0gDh7Ds
As they gathered, a figure of immense power approached, putting them all on guard. This power exceeded even that of Joker. However, to their relief, it was Levi who emerged from the shadows. Levi had a brief reunion with his fellow High Mages, expressing his concern for Kaipo's whereabouts, as he couldn't sense him.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu6n1pJk7b
While they conversed, an authoritative voice suddenly echoed, saying "Light," and the entire Land of Spade was bathed in brilliant illumination. The High Mages sensed a tremendous pressure from above and saw a figure glowing with a dark red aura. To their astonishment, it was Kaipo, who started falling toward the ground. Lyn quickly used "Shadowmeld" to catch Kaipo before he hit the ground.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqa8DOz0r3
The High Mages gathered around Kaipo, who lay unconscious. Drew stepped forward and used "Vortex of Vitality" to heal Kaipo, bringing him back to consciousness. As Kaipo woke up and saw his friends, he smiled. He stood up, held out his hands, and said "Restore," instantly restoring the Land of Spade to its former glory.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRf4PlcseZ
Levi noticed that Kaipo's new power was eerily similar to Joker's, and he realized that Kaipo had taken the Corrupt Heart from Joker. Kaipo confirmed this, revealing that he now possessed both the Corrupt Heart and Joker's Jewel. He explained that the nine jewels they believed would lead to the Pure Heart were actually fragments of one whole jewel from "the other side."54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4oPjHUO37
Kaipo pointed to the large portal in the center of the Land of Spade and explained that it led to the other side. He revealed that he had a vision from Joker's perspective during the First Jewel War when Joker and Zack (Adonai) ventured to the other side. Kaipo explained that the Tenth Jewel was never necessary and that collecting the true nine Jewels still held the key to the Pure Heart. The fragments they had were merely parts of a single jewel.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaG9jvHieg
Kaipo then revealed his plan to travel to the other side and claim the remaining eight Jewels. However, he shared somber news: he had already made a trip to the other side and obtained the power to create Essence Manifest by sacrificing 99% of his life in a binding vow. He admitted that he only had about three months left to live, which is why they needed to hurry to the other side.54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx4Gkb5HBZ
The High Mages were shocked and angry that Kaipo, the ruler of their universe (The Areala Universe), would make such a sacrifice. Kaipo explained that once he collected the other Jewels, the Pure Heart would grant him eternal life. He planned to unite both sides, becoming the main energy source for all ten universes and reviving all lives lost through war.
Kaipo was about to reveal his detailed plan for collecting the eight Jewels when they heard a voice from the side, saying, "No wonder that universe was so tough; you, Kaipo, are the ruler of it." 54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo1158pOQG
