This is a very common post here and I’ve gone through all of them, And most are addressing this issue regarding a broken graphic driver update and kernel.
I believe that I’m not going through the same issue as my journalctl output is showing something else.

Well this does look a lot like the same issue as everyone else: you use a Nvidia GPU (supposedly with the proprietary driver) with an EOL kernel. The driver for that kernel has been long dropped from the repository, and a recent update logically removed it from your system.
This kernel version, you can’t, as it is not maintained anymore.
You need to install a maintained kernel – if you don’t want to bother upgrading it every few months, go for a LTS one – and then you will be able to install the driver for that version.
Since you still have a liveUSB, you can chroot from it, and then:
That’s because you obviously didn’t read the tutorial linked by the person requesting information. That’s disrespectful to the kind volunteers that opted to help you.
That kernel was EOL (End Of Life) in June 2020. Manjaro supports the current 5.XX series, install a supported kernel from Manjaro Settings Manager.
You have the 5.9 kernel installed, which is also EOL. It must be removed.
Careful, you tried to remove the 5.10 kernel.
On the plus side though, this shows that you have the linux-latest package installed, which has been dropped eons ago. Let’s also remove it.
the internet here is too slow.
i understood what you asked me to do that day, I’ll implement it.
i apologize again for any retardedness on my end.
thanks.
