Chapter 28 - You either die a mortal, or become God- Dr Arya.

And in Brazil, the city was being evacuated, and the army now took out their guns and weapons, but it was so far in the air that they couldn't aim poorly, and the Brazilian government was maintaining a safe distance. And they were taking out the missile launchers. And just as they were about to attack him, a sonic boom was heard, and everyone looked at the direction of the sound, And so does Arya, and before Krish could arrive, he waved his hand, several buildings below started to crack, army below was startled a little, they looked around, and saw saw several buildings started to tilt, the ground below their feet started to change, they looked down, and found the ground below them has become quicksand, and it was sinking everything around them. Many people try to run, many struggle but to no avail.

And when Krish reached there, he saw this scene, the whole city was sinking. Buildings were hitting each other, the military was struggling to stand, and Arya was in midair still expanding his domain.

" You should hurry, there is less than half an hour to finish this, you can't save them all." Krish after hearing this headed in the direction of the military. And when he saw the quicksand, he felt a little troubled.

" He had changed the property to the land around the city in a five kilometre radius. All the housed buildings and people are sinking slowly in the ground. It's his delaying tactics, you have to stop him first, they can hold their own for five minutes at least. You have to solve it in five minutes, or the people below will die." And after hearing this, he looked at Arya in the sky and Arya like sensing his presence, looked down, and waved his hand, and several buildings started to tilt, and started fall in the direction of those soldiers,

Krish didn't hesitate, and stopped the building from falling over the soldiers stopping it. He felt it, it was heavy. He applied force and pushed the building back, and the huge building fell backwards, then he looked at the second building, and did the same, and so did others.

" Krishna, this won't work. He can keep throwing buildings, you have to do something else." And after this, he understood.

And up in the sky, Arya was expanding his domain, when he suddenly felt something, he looked down, and saw a building heading towards him like a rocket. His eyes widen, he used his power, and in a hurry he evaporated the building, which formed a heavy dust cloud in the air, he was about to clear it when all of sudden, a punch landed on him from the dark, which made him launch in the air, but before he could get out from the dust, a hand grabbed his ankle grabbing him down and punching him again. And after a few punches, Arya came to his senses, and used his power to separate the dust cloud, and just as he did that, a punch landed on his face which he was barely able to block, and this time he saw who he was, it was krish.

Arya adjusted his jaw, and looked at him with pity and confusion.

" Why are you protecting such a -" And like before he could say anything Krish launched an attack. And this time Arya was ready, he used the dust cloud in the air, and transformed them into heavy shackles and weights, covering whole body except his face.

" Why don't you let me finish." And this time he was angry.

" Every time I try to finish a sentence you'll punch me. Who do you think I am, I'm a God. And you are just an evolved mortal nothing more. If I wanted it, you would be dead already. Why don't you listen!"

" I, from all the humans from the world, choose you as the new father of new humanity, why don't you accept it? You don't want to be a God. I respect that, but why don't you choose what's good for you, good for everyone." And he waved his hand and all the restrictions on his vanished, and Arya flew forward and punched him down on the buildings below, and Krish made a crashing landing.

" Why don't you understand that,this world is rotten." And he summoned all the dust around him and made small boulders and bombarded krish with it like a shower. Krish was barely able to dodge and destroy them when a huge boulder around two hundred metres in diameter and dropped on Krish, which Krish who was in a little daze after all this, barely able to hold in time.

" Look around you, look around everything. What do you see? A broken place, or a destroyed city." And after saying that he waved his hand, and the whole city started to fix itself back like it wasn't destroyed, and even the Boulder from his head was gone.

" Now what do you see? A fixed place? Now what I see is stagnation. I'm not destroying anything, I'm just recreating the world, giving it a chance to make itself better." And he landed in front of him.

" See Krishna, look around you. I always used to wonder why the world works the way it is. Look around, The whole world is uneven, one thing dominates the other, humans fought for something that never belonged to them, who gave them the right to own everything, who gave them the right to be superior to others when they are no different from them? Is it because they are smarter or a little stronger? If that's the case, I'm better, I'm stronger then them, why should I worry about them, care about their judgement of right and wrong." And he grabbed his hair and forced him to look at him.

" I'm doing this so everyone will have a second chance." And he punched him on the ground.

" I don't wanna rule them, nor do I want anything from them." And he waved his hand, and the domain which had stopped expanding started again.

" I don't expect you to understand me, nor to anyone. Your father accepted the world the way it is. He chose to hide everything he knows so he could manage the so-called peace and balance of the world where interest is paramount." And pointed at Krish.

" Think for yourself. What will happen if everyone knows what's happened in the lab of the greatest mind in the world. Would you be able to protect him by being this virtuous."

" Think about your sister, what will. They do to her. I've seen this so much that I know you won't be able to stop them." and he lifted him on the air by two stone platforms.

" Think Krishna thinks."

" This world will never thank you, they have never thanked their heroes." And he went closed and removed the mask from his face. And saw his brushed face.

" I'm just a clone, the original will destroy me after everything in this world is settled, I'm no longer useful to him. What will this world who didn't know will do? I never wanted to be a God, just like you never want to be this, black nano suit, mask wearing hero. They force us into it." And he tossed the mask aside, which landed face up.

" Krishna." And his voice was soft.

" Your father didn't understand this, I hope you will." And he placed his hand on his shoulder.

" Either you die a mortal or become a God. There is no other option for someone like us in this world. So choose wisely, what do you want, to be a mortal and perish, or become a God that surpasses the limit." And he once again presented his hand toward him, like he did before. He waited for an answer, but what he got wasn't what he wanted to hear.

" No." And after hearing this, Arya's mood fell. He rose up.

" Ok then, as you wish." And he rose higher, and then spread his hand.

And all the buildings, all the street lights, roads , cars and everything in the city below started to. It became dust and started to rise higher. And in this dust the mask of Krish also tilted, and rolled back to Krishna.

And up in the sky, all the dust and debris started to gather above Arya's head. And this time, the Boulder that was built, was at least a thousand metres in diameter, and Arya was just like an ant compared to it. And this thing, a flying Boulder the size of a city, soon caught the attention of all the countries and news channels.

" Then die, mortal." And Arya tossed the Boulder . And without looking back, he started to ascend in the sky, and continued his work.

And after that Boulder fall, the whole world was silent, everything in the world became quiet, all the traffic, all the noises, everyone was silent.

" Krishna? Krishna, can you hear me?" There was no response, just a static sound. And behind Rohit Priya and others eyes became moist, and Priya started to cry.

And in the news, several news channels reported that the black figure is dead, and humanity has lost its hope. And in another news , it was said that America has launched a nuclear blast on the figure in Brazil, and it showed footage of a nuclear bomb heading in the direction of Arya, without a sound, and as soon as it reached near him, it disintegrated into nothingness. And humanity lost its last hope.

But this time. A voice sounded.

" Son." And it was Rohit.

" Stop holding back." and just as he said that, like a calm lake breaking its tension. A muffled sound was made.

Arya who was absorbed in his work looked down, his face showing wonder. And the sound like Drum Intensify.

" How is this-" And before he could say anything, a figure like a rocket came out from the Boulder, and hit him with an astronomical force.

And in the news channels and all around the world, everyone cheered.

And with Arya, he was flown so high that he almost got out of the atmosphere if a hand hadn't stopped him from going out. The hand then made several circles in the space and rotated several times, and then tossed back the figure to the earth, and Arya while entering earth back, caught on fire. And Krish looked down from above, his mask on his face, and his face without any emotion, he was calm. He looked at the falling Arya, and with push, he headed in his direction, and punched him on the stomach making his descend even faster. And he did this several times till the only thing left was fire. And one final punch, Krish stopped in mid air. And looked down at the world below.

" The medicine is ready." came a voice from his ear piece. And Krishna didn't respond, just looked in a certain direction.

And in Mumbai, Arya felt his last clone disappearing from earth, which made him very annoyed, so he looked down at a certain building, where his old friend was.

Rohit felt it.

" You three, come behind." And just as he said that, the whole building shook.

" He is here." And like God descending the building and the wall in front of them separated. And in the high above, stood Dr Arya, and behind him was the sun.

" Rohit, your son is really undisciplined." And after saying that, a staircase appeared out of dust, and he started to walk down.

" He does not listen to lectures, keeps making noises, does not answer questions and most of all, makes it difficult to teach." and he stood in front of him, and then looked at the three women behind him.

" Ahh, Supriya, my favorite student, what are you doing here? Forget it, it's great if you are here, give me time to do another thing. And look, your sister is here as well, back then I really had trouble identifying you both." And then he looked at Sakshi.

" Ahh, Sakshi, how's the saying going? You look tense for someone your age." And then he looked around.

" A secret lab, I know you had one hidden behind ionized shielding, don't you worry about electricity? Isn't it costly?"

" But seeing how well it works to hide, I'll say money well spent, but you know, I can only not sense what's going in there, but can easily destroy it. So what are you doing here? If you are not hiding so?" And he looked around and saw the liquid machinery having a serum on it.

He raised his hand, and the tube floated in his hand. He looked at it with curiosity, and then made it vanish.

" An antidote? Did you make it for your son as well? I went rough can't he?" And he steps forward.

" forget it, I was planning to not kill anyone before my great plan was done, but now I'm changing my mind." and he looked at Rohit and others.

" Surpiya chose one. Either step aside or stay. I gave you the honor of being the mother of new humanity, I can give it to someone else as well. So choose wisely." And she didn't move, her expression remained tense and asked a question.

" What if the new human didn't meet your requirements?" and Arya looked at her curiously.

" Don't you know the answer." And she remained quiet, knowing what he meant.

" You think right, if they don't meet my expectations I'll do it again and again and again, till I get what I expect from them."

" You are a monster." This was Priya.

" Ahh, this is a new one. But let's be honest, if an experiment didn't go well for you, you don't do it again and again till you got the answer."

" But they are human you are talking about."

" Who gave you the idea that humans are special?" and he looked at Priya.

" For me, there is no difference between you and mice. For me you are the same, but a bigger one. And don't you see I'm doing it for their own good."

" Keeping them captive and in a constant state of fear?" This was Sakshi.

" Huh? Captive I called it keeping it safe. Aren't we zoo animals, aren't the only pandas left in the world the ones in the zoo?" And then he looked at Supriya again.

" Supriya, I've checked your DNA and everyone else's in my sphere of influence, you and you are special, I don't know why but you are. So I'm giving this last chance to accept this grace, you are special but not that much." And he extended his hand again.

" And Rohit, Don't hope Krish to come and save you, I'm a G-" And just as he said that, he was launched back to the ground like a rocket.

" You are what?" This was Sakshi, trying to be funny.
