AURA OF THE SEVEN 🌪️
Chapter 22: Rebellion of the Void — Rebirth of the Seven 🌌🔥🌑
As the Crown shattered, a massive shockwave rippled through the Void, shaking floating islands that had drifted for millennia. Gojung's body hovered in mid-air, flickering between absolute darkness and a blinding golden aura.
👑 The True Face of the Crown
Zhou stepped forward with a chilling laugh. "Do you think love and memories are enough to defeat the Void? That Crown wasn't just a trinket—it was the lingering soul of the previous Emperor!"
Suddenly, the shattered pieces of the black crown melted and fused into a terrifying Shadow Dragon. Gojung plummeted toward the abyss, but Ryun caught him mid-air, gripping his hand with iron strength.
⚡ The Return of Gojung: "The Shadow is Free"
Gojung opened his eyes. The hollow emptiness was gone, replaced by a fierce, starlit resolve. "Ryun... Mei-Lin... thank you."
He slammed his palm against the thin air, seizing control of the surrounding darkness. "Zhou, you tried to make me your puppet... now witness what a true God of the Void can do!"
Seven jet-black blades manifested around Gojung's body, spinning like a deadly halo.
"REBIRTH ART: SHADOW KINGDOM RISING!" 🌑⚔️
🛡️ The Ultimate Team-Up (The Seven vs. The Abyssal Trio)
The battlefield was now set: The Seven Guardians plus Mei-Lin (Totaling Eight) against the Abyssal remnants. Zhou and his two lieutenants shed their humanoid forms, transforming into colossal Abyssal Beasts with skin like the night sky.
Kael & Akira (⚡🍃): Created a massive 'Electric Tornado,' raining down black lightning that paralyzed the beasts.
Seiya, Yuna, & Minho (🌊❄️🌿): Built a titanic fortress of ice, reinforced with thorny vines and crashing tidal waves, trapping the lieutenants.
Noct (🕳️): Stabilized the area by creating micro-black holes to drain the enemies' strength.
💥 The Trinity Strike: Ryun, Gojung, and Mei-Lin
Zhou gathered his remaining malice into a devastating Dark Energy sphere.
Ryun, Gojung, and Mei-Lin stood shoulder to shoulder, stacking their hands together.
Ryun (🔥): "My fire will burn his sins!"
Gojung (🌑): "My darkness will bind his soul!"
Mei-Lin (✨): "My spirit will purify the rest!"
Their combined energies merged into a blinding Trinity Beam. The light was so intense it began to dissolve Zhou's very form.
"TRIPLE ART: DIVINE ECLIPSE!" 🌑☀️✨
The explosion was cataclysmic, causing the portal walls to vibrate violently. Zhou's body shattered into cosmic dust, but with his dying breath, he struck the 'Core' of the portal.
⚠️ The Void Collapse
"If I cannot rule... none of you shall leave!" Zhou's final words echoed as the portal began to shrink rapidly.
The exit was closing. If they didn't escape within the next 60 seconds, they would be buried in the silence of the Void forever.
🌪️ Final Narration
"The enemy had fallen, but the real race against time had begun.
The portal was vanishing, and Gojung's essence was still partially tethered to the Void.
Can they all make it out together? Or will someone have to make the ultimate choice once again?
