It's going to be blocked by the lords and then silently killed.

The king's role is entirely ceremonial and the monarch does not express a political option. England is a parliamentary democracy and the king gives his blessing to whatever parliament puts in front of him. Some anti-monarchists argue that the rotalss are a very expensive tourist attraction at this point, and useless drain on public funds.
I don't know the exact ins and outs of the parliamentary process. There must be some previous example of a petition changing something at some point.....but I would think of that an as an exceedingly rare exception.
genuine question: What would the consequences of the king not giving his blessing to whatever parliament puts in front of him be? What would the law see as the next step? Would there be a parliamentary tool in place to "override" the king?

I don't know. Considering that the king does whatever parliament tells him, this has never come up. I don't know what the details are of the rules and processes.

World politics are quite grim at the moment. Having the UK rejoin would be a great signal for a unified Europe.
It probably won't happen, but one may dream.
