triumph
Sweet, decisive success
Triumph is a great victory or achievement, often hard-won: a triumph of engineering, a personal triumph over adversity.
The word carries connotations of glory and celebration beyond mere success.
To triumph is to achieve such a victory or to exult in one: She triumphed over her critics.
A triumphant return suggests both success and the savoring of it.
