Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: The Blade That Cuts Destiny

[System Alert: Multi-Soul Sync Achieved]

Combat Tier Elevated: "Converged Destiny Unit" — Fusion path unlocked

Warning: If one of you falls… all will fracture.

The Throne Hall — Seconds Before Battle

The Twelfth stood like a wound in the world.

Selene raised her hand, summoning light from her Flame Core.

Kaelion cracked lightning across his palms.

Lucien whispered to shadows that didn't belong to this realm.

None of them spoke.

Because prophecy had already written this moment—

And they were about to break it.

The Battle Begins

The Twelfth moved first.

One swing of his blade sliced through reality. Entire layers of existence trembled.

Kaelion blocked the next blow with his body, lightning armor cracking.

Lucien flanked from behind, aiming for the heart.

Selene—

Walked into the blade.

And didn't bleed.

She burned backward, rewriting time in golden flame.

Outside — The Sky Fractures

The gods watching from their heavens screamed.

"She's learned to unmake fate."

"She's becoming more than anomaly…"

"She's becoming origin."

Back in the Battle

Kaelion fell to one knee. The blade had brushed him—just barely.

And yet he forgot a piece of himself.

His sister's name.

His mother's face.

Lucien caught him.

Selene didn't look back.

"Hold him."

"I'll finish this."

Selene vs. The Twelfth — One on One

Their clash cracked every mirror in the divine realm.

He struck her with the names of all the timelines she'd broken.

She answered with the names of every girl who burned before her.

He struck with inevitability.

She answered with choice.

Final Scene

He drove the blade toward her chest—

And Selene caught it between her hands.

Burning.

Screaming.

Unbreaking.

"You were made to erase stories," she said.

"But I was born to rewrite them."

She shattered the blade.

But not before it pierced her side—

And everything went dark.
