This was such a foolish plot that it's kind of hard to call anything a plot twist. A real plot twist is one that surprises the reader because the reader would have certain expectations for what comes next based on what happened earlier. So, the writing would need to follow at least rudimentary logic, otherwise everything would be whatever for the reader (the case here). A real plot twist turns the events upside down, but still follows good writing traditions. Any author worth their keyboard would thus foreshadow the plot twist a little bit, but in a manner the reader would only really recognise when the twist is triggered.well, honestly Luxion doing that wasn't much of a plot twist (but it is very satisfying to see)
the plot twist is the reason why he did it like this. which is shown in the next chapter. checking the trees limitations and how it's "judgement" works.This was such a foolish plot that it's kind of hard to call anything a plot twist.

Luxion actually staying faithful to Leon could be called a foreshadowed plot twist, but the circumstances under which Luxion, supposedly, fell into that scumbag's hands were so stupid that nothing really mattered.
It's pretty coherent. The story establishes that you can use the tree's power unfairly. It establishes that Luxion would never obey a "new human" and that it cooperates with Leon's plans.This was such a foolish plot that it's kind of hard to call anything a plot twist.

To be fair we already knew Luxion would not betray Leon from the previous arc.It establishes that Luxion would never obey a "new human" and that it cooperates with Leon's plans.
The very fact that he thus far obeyed Leon's order NOT to destroy the current human civilization, even though he would really like to and is capable of (due to them waning in raw magic power) should have been all the indication one would ever need.To be fair we already knew Luxion would not betray Leon from the previous arc.

Luxion has always done everything to the benefit of Leon, even when it's messing with him. It has also never gone too far with its actions to keep in line with Leon's wishes
This is not the final outcome. There's more to come, which frames it differently.On Luxion's loyalty do note that it's not programming enforced
Leon ends up betrayed by Luxion and dies in the finale of this overall arc (not to Piere bullshit but several novels down line) because it finds something more important than Leon.
How is it coherent that some total outsider uses Leon's ship as collateral in a bet? The winner then claims the ship, even in Leon's absence? Somehow the holy tree blesses that whole nonsense. The beginning of this arc was such a fiasco, which is a pity.It's pretty coherent. The story establishes that you can use the tree's power unfairly. It establishes that Luxion would never obey a "new human" and that it cooperates with Leon's plans.
If anything it's not a plot twist because Leon is a typical trickster and has been playing that game for a whole arc before that. It's the opposite of a twist for the reader. We are shown what Leon shows to other characters to trick them, but we know better even if we are not explicitly told he's doing it.
