Overlord Belenus the Storm Hearld of change

Absolutely — here's the next chapter filled with detailed battle scenes, strategic teamwork, and the climactic final duel with Jiren:

Chapter 18 – The Last Ember

Narration – Belenus

The sky of the void was a ruined canvas — stars smeared like paint across a backdrop of shattered time.

The Tournament of Power had reached its crucible.

Out of 80 warriors summoned from 8 universes, alliances, betrayals, and legends forged in heat and thunder, only a handful stood. And among them…

Jiren.

And us — the team drawn not just from one world, but all.

The multiverse had seen gods fall, titans rise, and reality itself rewritten by wish and war.

Now it would witness something rarer:

Unity.

Scene – The Arena Remnants

We stood upon fragments of the destroyed arena — floating stone islands suspended in cosmic emptiness.

Across from us towered Jiren, a monolith of power.

His aura twisted violently around him, no longer contained by the rules of time or space. He had evolved. Pain and pride burned in his crimson eyes.

I stood at the front, my scales glowing like solar magma, horns gleaming with starlight.

And at my back, my chosen warriors.

The Ashen Vanguard – Team Belenus

Goku – Ultra Instinct shimmering like moonlight on still water, eyes focused, calm as death.

Thor – Wielding Mjolnir and Stormbreaker both, his cape torn, eyes crackling with divine thunder.

Deku (Izuku Midoriya) – One For All at 100%, augmented by nanotech from Stark and ki training from Goku, moving faster than most minds could track.

Sasuke Uchiha – Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan locked on Jiren's movements, teleporting through space with Rinnegan mastery.

Rimuru Tempest(That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) – The reincarnated tactician wielding chaos magic and divine artillery, scanning for probability shifts.

Kaela – Titan-born, clad in obsidian dragon armor. Her lance forged from Anguirus' core bone, burning with Hollow Earth energy.

Doctor Strange – Astral projection weaving counter-spells and multiversal barriers with one hand, time-twisting mandalas with the other.

Toru the Flamechild – My heir in spirit, who rose from death cloaked in phoenix wings, ready to burn once more.

Scene – Battle Ignites

Jiren moved first.

He blurred — and half the battlefield vanished.

His fist met Goku's jaw with enough force to shatter galaxies. Goku flipped backward, landing on a spinning shard of the arena, breathing hard.

"He's faster now," Goku muttered, eyes narrowing.

Thor and Kaela launched next, twin storms swirling around them. Mjolnir met Jiren's fist mid-air with a scream of thunder. Kaela drove her lance upward — only for Jiren to bend space and appear behind her.

She was knocked from the sky, caught mid-fall by Deku in a green-and-gold blaze.

"We're not breaking through," Deku growled, sweat pouring down his face.

"Not yet," I said.

"We have to break him."

Scene – Tandem Strike

Sasuke and Tanya began the counter-offensive.

Rinnegan portals opened in spirals, dropping spectral kunai around Jiren like a ring of death.

Tanya screamed an ancient command word — and every blade exploded with divine entropy. For a flicker of time, Jiren was consumed by nothingness.

He walked out.

Eyes glowing.

Chest burned, but unbroken.

"Enough," Jiren said. "I came here to see what power dares challenge truth."

He raised his hands, pulling energy from the tournament core.

A sphere of condensed trauma and force, raw and unfiltered, built between his palms.

The Truth Unmade.

Scene – The Sacrifice

Toru saw it first.

"It's too unstable. That blast… it'll erase everything."

Before I could stop him — he flew.

A trail of phoenix fire.

He struck Jiren mid-charge — fire vs untruth.

BOOM.

The explosion silenced the cosmos.

When the dust cleared, only ash floated where Toru once stood.

And Jiren…

Bled.

For the first time.

Scene – My Turn

I stepped forward.

The fire inside me roared. My dorsal plates erupted in solar flame. The last of the Ashen Wills flared to life. Andarta's voice echoed once more:

"Sovereign Class Activated."

"Reality Weight: 900 Billion."

"Flame Protocol: Final Layer – Ashnova Collapse."

Jiren looked at me, quiet.

He bowed.

"Your fire… deserves to burn."

We charged.

He roared, striking with the fury of a dying universe.

I struck, cloaked in the legacy of Amaterasu, Kaela, and every soul I carried.

Scene – The Final Clash

Our fists collided.

Everything stopped.

Sound died.

Light folded.

Time screamed.

Then—

Ash exploded.

And from it… I stood.

Jiren knelt. Head bowed. His aura faded. His body cracked.

And he whispered:

"You… remembered why you fight. I forgot."

And with that, he fell.

Scene – Aftermath – The Omni-Kings Applaud

Zeno and Future Zeno floated down like curious children clapping for a bedtime tale.

The Grand Priest smiled gently.

"You have won, Belenus. The Tournament… is complete."

"One wish. No rules. Speak."

I turned, body flickering with golden flame.

"Bring back the fallen. All of them."

"My mother. Toru. Every soul who died protecting this future."

The Grand Priest bowed.

And Super Shenron returned — coiling like infinity, eyes burning with eternal flame.

Return of the Light

Golden fire poured from the void.

Toru stood again, coughing.

And from the center — she walked.

Amaterasu.

Alive.

Cloaked in solar robes, her smile softer now. A queen. A mother. A beacon.

"You did it," she whispered. "You burned the darkness away."

Narration – Belenus

And as the light of the wish bathed the universe, I turned to the stars.

We had fought.

We had bled.

And we had endured.

The multiverse was alive.

But peace? Peace was never permanent.

And in the depths of forgotten time…

Something ancient stirred once more.

Final Line

"Then let it come," I said, wings spreading, eyes glowing like twin suns. "I'll light the way."
