Chapter 41 - Throne of the King in Eclipse

1. Shattered Heaven, Rising Fire

The Eclipse Core howled like a wounded god.

As the King in Eclipse descended, the entire dimension twisted in agony. Floating shards of dead universes drifted like shards of black glass. Rivers of reversed time looped around moons of pure memory. Broken stars cracked with silence.

Li Wei stood at the front, sword pulsing with the unified light of his bonded allies—ice, flame, healing spirit, illusion, seal, and wrath. Behind him stood Yue, Lana, Lotus, Scarlet, Meiyu, and Shen Ruo—each bearing wounds from every battle fought to reach this moment.

The King seated himself on a jagged throne forged from the corpses of collapsed timelines. His voice reverberated through every molecule:

"You are the final paradox."

The battlefield formed: spires of entropy spiraling from the void, winds of collapsed reality tearing across their feet, and a countdown in the sky, written in the blood of gods.

SYSTEM COUNTDOWN: THE ECLIPSE EVENT — 59:59

If they didn't end the King before time ran out, the Core would collapse, and the multiverse with it.

Li Wei exhaled, calm despite the stakes. "Formation Alpha. Let's show him what unity means."

2. All Bonds Unleashed

The seven became light.

They split, forming two assault squads and a central command. Years of training, of emotion, of battles—everything converged.

Yue, Lana, and Lotus flew upward, ice trailing behind Yue's path as she coated the battlefield with Absolute Zero Bloom. Lana followed with trails of flame-light, hurling nova-shaped bombs that exploded in spectral fire. Lotus raised walls of translucent petals that caught incoming entropy blasts and dissolved them into stardust.

Meiyu, Scarlet, and Shen Ruo dove downward into the King's shadow field. Scarlet unleashed Bone Phoenix Wrath Form IV, becoming a crimson meteor of vengeance. Meiyu cast Mirror Spiral Requiem, turning every bit of light into a blade of illusion. Shen Ruo activated Seal Array: ChronoCage, binding pieces of the King's form into lockboxes of forbidden time.

Li Wei charged forward alone.

His sword now shifted forms on command. Fire, frost, chain, shadow. He dodged the King's opening wave—a pulse of darkness that erased the concept of movement—and struck first.

He cut through the King's shoulder, drawing golden ichor that hissed like condemned stars.

The King bellowed.

3. The First Collapse

But the King adapted.

He summoned a hundred avatars from fractured timelines—versions of himself that had destroyed Earth, consumed galaxies, or slain the Monarchs. They attacked in synchronization, reality flickering with each motion.

Yue was hit by a multidimensional curse.

Lana's flames were drained into a black sun.

Lotus coughed blood as her barrier cracked.

Li Wei blinked—and saw Yue stabbed.

But then Chrono Reversal Edge kicked in.

He rewound time five seconds and intercepted the strike.

"You're not touching her," he snarled.

The system flared.

NEW SKILL UNLOCKED: ETERNAL AEGIS — DAMAGE REDIRECT (One Use)

He took Yue's wound himself.

Blood poured down his side—but she was safe.

"Idiot," she whispered, catching him.

"I've been worse."

4. Truth of the Eclipse

As they fought, a pulse struck them all.

A memory.

The King's memory.

He had once been a mortal. A chosen one. A user of the system. Like Li Wei.

He had saved worlds. Loved women. Made friends.

But then the Monarchs turned.

They feared his potential. They erased his name, betrayed his lovers, shattered his core, and sealed him in the Eclipse Core, where time did not pass.

"You are walking my path," the King said.

"You will lose them. One by one. Power isolates. Love dies. Hope is a lie."

"No," Li Wei replied. "Your path ends here. Mine just began."

They clashed again.

5. Bonds Breaking

The King went all out.

He summoned Anti-Lotus fields that stripped skills. He erased color, sound, memory. Lana vanished mid-spell. Meiyu forgot who she was. Shen Ruo aged a hundred years in an instant.

Scarlet screamed.

Yue faltered.

Li Wei was overwhelmed.

Then he heard it:

SYSTEM EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS: FINAL FUSION MODE AVAILABLE

WARNING: MAY RESULT IN SOUL COMPRESSION OR IDENTITY MERGE

Yue took his hand.

"I'm not afraid."

Lotus added hers. "If we die—we die together."

All six women joined hands.

"Together," they whispered.

6. The Lotus Emperor

Li Wei transformed.

He now bore wings of crystal flame, hair glowing white-gold, and a blade shaped like blooming time. His eyes held galaxies.

The King in Eclipse rose.

They clashed.

Every strike broke laws.

One punch reversed entropy.

One swing reset cause and effect.

The sky tore open. Dead gods screamed. Monarchs watching from afar trembled.

Then Li Wei activated his final technique.

LOTUS REVELATION: THIRTEENTH BLOOMEFFECT: ERASE ONE ENTITY FROM ALL TIMELINES

"You chose oblivion," he said. "We choose each other."

He struck.

A lotus of eternity bloomed behind him.

The King screamed.

His throne broke.

His form unraveled.

Light returned.

7. Dawn

The Core stabilized.

The countdown vanished.

SYSTEM NOTICE:THE ECLIPSE HAS ENDED.YOU HAVE ASCENDED.

Li Wei collapsed.

His girls caught him.

Yue kissed his cheek. "You did it."

"No. We did."

Scarlet laughed through tears. "Now what? We rule the universe?"

Lotus smiled. "No. We build a better one."

Meiyu and Shen Ruo leaned close.

"We're with you. Always."
