Narration – Belenus**
The world... no, *worlds*... were on the brink of chaos and convergence.
Fifty-nine divine wishes had already torn through the very laws of reality, reshaping everything from planetary structure to time itself. Titans had risen, gods had fallen, and I—**Belenus**, the Ashen King—stood at the center of it all.
But even after everything…
There was still **one** wish left.

### **Scene – The Sky of Infinity**
I stood at the peak of the **Flame Citadel**, my wings outstretched, tail lashing with radiant energy. Above me spun the **Convergence Halo**, a rotating ring of Earths from every corner of the multiverse — Earth-616, Earth-1, Universe 7's Earth, Earth-Prime, Earth-X, and hundreds more, each scarred by conflict, rebirth, and heroism.
Andarta, the system spirit, hovered near my shoulder in her astral form—eyes glowing like twin galaxies.
> "Are you sure?" she asked. "This is not a wish for strength. It's a wish for *responsibility.*"
> "I don't need more power," I said. "I need *purpose.*"
---
### **The Final Wish: Unity**
I raised my claw toward the Halo.
And spoke the words.
> "System, activate final wish. I wish… to merge all Earths into one. A world forged of hope, strength, and shared legacy."
Andarta's form shimmered as energy surged around us.
> "Processing… Final wish accepted."
> "Warning: This action is irreversible."
> "Executing fusion protocol... Earth Codex x 1000."

### **The Fusion of Earths**
It began like a ripple through the void.
Each Earth bent toward one another, spiraling inward. Cities overlapped—Tokyo merged with Gotham, Metropolis rose from the bones of West City. Asgard floated above Wakanda. Atlantis entwined with Namor's empire.
Languages, histories, landscapes — all fused, but *nothing was lost*. Instead, every reality brought its best forward.
The planet grew in scale. Now the size of **Jupiter**, yet with gravity perfectly balanced. Ecosystems bloomed in harmony. Technology and magic intertwined.
The world **didn't collapse**.
It **evolved**.
From the sky, the newly formed planet glowed like a second sun.
**Earth Eternal.**
The birthplace of legends. The crucible of gods.
---
### **Narration – Belenus**
This was no longer just a world.
It was a *legacy.*
And for the first time since I emerged from the Hollow Egg, I allowed myself to **rest**.
---
### **Scene – Years of Peace**
Two years passed.
And they were *good*.
Goku and Superman trained together beneath the twin suns of the Verdant Core.
The Justice League joined forces with the Avengers to establish the **Unified Watchtower**, an orbital fortress that surveyed the new Earth.
Even once-hostile Titans like Tenebros and Bar'ghul found purpose in rebuilding fallen zones.
I ruled from the **Obsidian Throne** as protector, not conqueror.
Beside me stood **Amaterasu**—my mother, my guide, and the first flame of all life.
We watched our world blossom.
And yet… peace has its price.

### **The Call from Zeno**
One day, a ripple in space opened like a divine scroll unfurling.
From it stepped the **Grand Priest**, followed by two small, glowing children: **Zeno** and his alternate self.
> "Belenus," the Grand Priest intoned, "the merged Earth is a marvel, but balance must be maintained."
> "A new Tournament of Power must be held."
> "You, and the strongest from this Earth Eternal, must represent your reality."
And I agreed.
The warriors of this world would stand together.
But fate would not wait for the tournament.

### **Scene – Jiren Returns**
During a preliminary meeting between universes, he came.
**Jiren.**
Still a colossus. Still silent. Still wrapped in layers of untouchable might.
But different.
Darker.
Older.
He looked at me—and through me.
Amaterasu stepped forward, warmth in her gaze.
> "He carries grief, like you once did," she whispered.
> "Maybe... I can help him."
But Jiren did not come for comfort.
He came for certainty.
And so they fought.
---
### **The Death of Light**
Their battle shook the sky.
It cracked the core.
He moved like thought. She burned like eternity.
But she held back, trying to *reach* him.
And Jiren, ever unyielding… struck with the full force of his trauma and fury.
A blow straight to her center.
Not to kill.
But it was too much.
Even for her.
Her body faltered, light spilling like starlight through cracked porcelain.
She looked to me, and smiled.
> "Don't grieve, my son… *Burn brighter.*"
Then she fell.
---
### **Narration – Belenus**
The world went still.
The Eternal Earth trembled.
And I?
I howled.
The sky ignited. Flames turned gold. Time warped.
But her light was gone.
And only ash remained.
---
### **Scene – The Ashen Throne**
I buried her beneath the world tree of the Verdant Core, her soul fused into its roots.
A monument of flame and life.
Around me, the heroes of all Earths gathered in silence.
They did not cheer me.
They did not pity me.
They *stood* with me.
Because they knew—
The tournament was no longer a game.
It was a *reckoning*.
---
### **Narration – Belenus**
Fifty-nine wishes gave me strength.
The sixtieth gave the world a future.
Now I would defend it.
And I would burn through *any god* who dared threaten it.
Even Zeno himself.
