As the overwhelming energy closed in, Joseph remained calm, recalling an overlooked contingency: the XPT reserves stored within the XPT dimension. At the last possible moment, he activated the XPT dimension and executed a daring strategy.
The resulting explosion was cataclysmic, shaking the battlefield and drawing the attention of Lyra and Yoshi, who momentarily paused their battles, fearing the worst. Dust and smoke engulfed the area where Joseph had been standing.
Yet, as the chaos subsided, it became clear that Joseph had outwitted the demoness. Just before the blasts struck, he had used his XPT's advanced capabilities to simultaneously activate the XPT dimension and create a duplicate of himself. The duplicate took his place, shielding him from the brunt of the attack while Joseph safely repositioned himself outside the blast zone.
