NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27: The Wife Who Became a God
🌫️ Scene 1: Ascension Realm — Floor Four
Jemil stepped through the fourth portal and was instantly weightless.
No ground. No sky. Just an endless galaxy swirling around him — stars orbiting like memories, nebulae pulsing with time itself. Gravity meant nothing here.
[Tower Floor 4: Ascension Realm – Domain of Transcendence]
[Caution: Wife #11 has evolved beyond mortal reasoning.]
[Emotion Index: Abandoned → Resigned → Sovereign]
"She doesn't want to be found," Kaelira said from behind him, floating in a field of light.
"She doesn't want to be human anymore," Flare added.
A voice echoed through the stars.
"Because humanity is weak."
🌌 Scene 2: The Starborn Queen Appears
Light condensed ahead of them — then she emerged.
She floated barefoot, draped in a gown of shifting constellations. Her eyes were twin eclipses. A halo of broken celestial rings circled her hair.
[Name: Astellara – The Starborn Queen]
[Wife #11 – Ascended Variant]
[Trust Level: Locked. Emotion Suppression Active.]
Jemil whispered, "Astellara…"
She looked at him.
"You shouldn't have come, Jemil."
🌀 Scene 3: Cold Light
"I watched over your tomb," she said flatly. "I cried for a decade. Then… I outgrew grief. I burned away everything that made me weak. Including love."
"You were never weak," he said.
She didn't flinch. "I became a god. That was the only way to survive."
"Then why did your memory still live in this tower?" Jemil asked.
She hesitated.
"Because part of you stayed behind."
Silence.
Then the stars pulsed — and reality bent.
⚔️ Scene 4: Trial of the Void Eclipse
Without warning, a cosmic spear materialized in her hand.
"This is not hatred," she said. "This is mercy."
[Initiating Divine Trial: Void Eclipse]
[Warning: Power output exceeds Level 9000]
Jemil summoned his twin blades of flame and void.
She descended like a meteor.
Their clash ruptured the plane — comets shattered midair, timelines flickered, stardust exploded in spirals.
But Jemil didn't strike to win.
He dodged. Blocked. Spoke.
"Astellara, this isn't you. This is pain hiding as power."
She hesitated again.
"Stop it—"
"You're still crying inside," he said.
She froze mid-air, blade inches from his throat.
💔 Scene 5: The Memory She Buried
He opened his hand.
A small stone pendant — cracked but glowing faintly.
"You made this," he said. "Said it would protect me when you weren't around."
Her eyes widened.
"I thought it was destroyed when…"
"You kept me safe longer than anyone," he whispered. "But I never came back. And for that—I'm sorry."
Astellara's weapon vanished.
She fell to her knees mid-air, hands trembling.
"I waited so long… pretending I didn't."
🌠 Scene 6: Reconnection
He took her hand.
"I don't need a goddess," he said softly. "I need you. Starborn or not."
She breathed out shakily.
"I don't know how to be that person again."
"Then let me help you find her."
[Bond Partially Restored: Astellara – Starborn Queen]
[Emotion Suppression: Disabled]
[Trust Level: 40% → 68%]
[Skill Unlocked: Celestial Blessing – Boosts team awareness and perception across realms]
The stars around them shifted.
And slowly… the realm grew warm.
🫂 Scene 7: Back in the Homeworld
Astellara stood at the edge of the sky-garden, watching the other wives with silent eyes.
Layra approached.
"Hard to be a goddess when you've got roommates, huh?"
Astellara cracked a tiny smile. "Very."
Flare shouted from a distance: "No cosmic smiting during dinner!"
Astellara shook her head. "They're all insane."
"They're family," Jemil said, walking up behind her.
And for the first time in a long time… she nodded.
