Volume Finale:Conclusion: the arrival of Zenith.
**ZENITH ARRIVES, THE VOLUME NEARS ITS END.**
As Daneel and his companions made their way towards the pool of eternal energies, turmoil unfolded within the Empyrean city.
Eloise sat on her bed, her hands clutching her belly in distress.
"*Groan*," she murmured softly, rolling in discomfort. Such vulnerability was unexpected from a seasoned Cultivator like herself, yet the reality was undeniable.
"What is happening?" Eloise pondered, employing her celestial sight to examine her condition.
"Poison..." A gasp escaped her lips as she beheld the potent green mass swirling within her womb, its virulence sending shivers down her spine.
"Eloise, what ails you?" Maria's concerned voice broke the silence as she entered the chamber, swiftly grasping the severity of the situation. She called upon Zain, questioning the strength of his flames in combating the poison.
"The poison's potency is overwhelming," Zain lamented after infusing his flames into Eloise's body.
Eloise paled at his words, her thoughts racing. 'Ironic, to find love just as it slips away...' Hysteria bubbled within her, manifesting in wild laughter.
"The Sonlon lineage of Pink Fairies faces extinction."
"Don't give me that look," Zain implored Maria with a guarded expression.
"What is it?" Maria demanded, her eyes searching his for answers.
"Elle portait un enfant, mais le poison l'a emporté," Zain revealed in hushed tones, speaking in French.
"Qui est responsable de cette atrocité?" Maria's fury erupted, her native French punctuating her rage.

As the Empyrean Lords grappled with their dilemma, a storm brewed in the void.
*Hua*
A cold beam of poisonous light flashed across the sky, its power utterly daunting. This was Zenith Sea-Colour, sent by the Virtue Spirit Immortal and True God of Harem.
"I sense an aura so familiar," Zenith lamented as he traversed the skies, his celestial omnipresence seeking the source.
The idea of finding Daneel and slaying him had long dissipated from his mind, resolved not to succumb to evil.
"It's you." Zenith was shocked, his eyes flickering with a strange hue as he transformed into a more potent beam of light and descended swiftly.

My vision blurred as I recalled my entire life, knowing my time had come. I didn't contemplate my survival, only Daneel's happiness.
"This is..." My eyes narrowed, peering into the sky, each movement exacerbating the spread of poison. I groaned, exerting control.
*Boom*
A figure crashed through the ceiling, rubble scattering around.
"It is him... I thought he died... or..." I stared at the figure amidst the debris.
"Who dares?" Mother roared, her weakened aura still brimming with determination.
Zain stepped forward, his demeanor cold and indifferent.
"Eloise." Despite the intimidating auras, the stranger with a familiar presence ignored them, fixating on me as if seeking clarity.
"Zenith?" Could it be my past friend, presumed dead in the wars? My emotions raced.

"Law Disciple. Law Follower. Apostle of Laws. Law Master. Law Saint. Law King. Law Emperor. Tao-Dao One." The Phoenix gazed at us, her voice imbued with authority.
"You nine have been promoted to Law Apprentices in the Law of Fate. You each have two more callings with the token and two with your upgrade, but your time here is now complete." The Phoenix's power emanated, enveloping us in a mysterious aura.
I felt a mark engraved on my forehead, the Chinese character of fate '命'
Afterward, I was transported back through the void of time.
"Who are you?" I opened my eyes to behold a strange man cloaked in purple poison qi, holding Eloise's neck, the poison seeping into her body. Zain and Mother stood nearby, seemingly dazed.
"Who are you?" Fury surged within me as I noticed Eloise's complexion improving as more qi entered her body.
"I am Zenith Sea-Colour." The figure withdrew his qi from Eloise, a green blob following suit.
"Muldu's poison."
