Buanumati's expression softened, and she stepped closer to Aryan. "I don't doubt your intentions, Aryan. And I appreciate everything you've done for me and for Kalinga. But why didn't you trust me with the truth? Why keep your identity hidden?"
"It's complicated, Buanumati. There are things I can't fully explain, but I promise you, I'm here to fight for Kalinga and I'll do whatever it takes to ensure our victory."
Aryan sighed, struggling to find the right words.
Buanumati nodded, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions and said while sobbing.
"I believe you, Aryan. But please promise me one thing. Promise that you'll come back safely from this battle, and that we'll find a way to face the truth together."
Aryan extended his hand toward Buanumati, offering her a sincere promise. "I promise, Buanumati. I'll explain everything to you. In fact, there is one other thing that I hid from you. But I will tell you everything after the war is over."
She took his hand, and they shared a moment of understanding amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
Then, with renewed determination, Aryan climbed back into his chariot, ready to step into the battlefield.
As he approached the battlefield once more, Aryan felt the sun's rays warming his skin. He knew that with each passing moment, his strength would continue to grow, reaching its peak at noon. With Sunshine by his side and Buanumati's understanding, he was prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead

Meanwhile as the news of Paundraka's death spread in other kingdoms, everyone became curious about this new powerhouse who changed the course of battle all on his own.
And a similar scene was happening in Dwaraka too.
{ Dau means big brother, and that's how Krishna used to address Balram. So, I'm keeping it like that.}
In Dwaraka, the news of Paundraka's death had reached even the ears of Krishna, Balram, and their family. As they sat together for breakfast, the topic of Paundraka's demise came up in conversation.
"Krishna, have you heard the news about Paundraka's death? I just heard about it this morning from one of my spies," Balram mentioned.
Krishna nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, Dau, I also heard about it just this morning."
Subhadra, curious about the discussion, inquired, "Big brother, is it the same Paundraka who keeps saying that he is the real Vasudeva and always trying to challenge you?"
Krishna confirmed, "Yes, Subhadra, it's the same guy."
Subhadra expressed her relief, saying, "Then it's good that he is finally dead. You also have one less enemy."
Balram chuckled and teased, "Hahaha, you're right, Subhadra. I had already asked Krishna many times to deal with that imposter, but he kept delaying, saying that his time had not come yet. But now it seems that it was probably in Paundraka's destiny to die at the hands of a nobody."
Krishna corrected him with a mysterious expression, "No, Dau, you're wrong about that. Since he is someone who can defeat Paundraka, then he cannot be a nobody. But yes, I'm also very eager to know more about this warrior."
The family's curiosity was piqued, and they wondered about the identity and abilities of the warrior who had brought about the downfall of Paundraka.
Unknown to Aryan, he had already managed to pique Krishna's interest. But it's not like he hadn't expected this consequence when he killed Paundraka.
Thankfully, according to Lord Vishnu's boon, the system can protect him from Krishna's peering eyes.
Anyway, after meeting Buanumati, Aryan quickly departed for the battlefield.
Kalinga's main army had already departed a few hours before him. So by the time he reached the battlefield, the war was already at its peak. The little advantage that Kalinga army had thanks to the moral difference has also disappeared after one night and it was getting very hard to hold their stand against the enemy.
As Aryan entered the battlefield, he looked up to see the sun which was already in the 2nd prahaar. ( 9am to 12pm ).
"I think this battle should be finished by noon. "
Aryan smiled confidently as he instructed the charioteer to move towards the center of the battlefield.
And after finally reaching the center of the battlefield, Aryan stepped on the chariot with all his strength and jumped high into the air, attracting everyone's attention.
He raised the spear above his head and slowly, strong heat energy covered the spear, before Aryan finally swung it horizontally towards the allied army.
"Super Solar slash ! "
A huge red horizontal energy slash gushed out of the spear.
Wherever it passed, everything was burnt into ashes, leaving behind the smell of burnt flesh and molten metal.
A large patch of upto one mile was completely reduced to wasteland by this attack. And unlike yesterday, there were no signs of him getting tired.
Instead, Aryan was constantly getting stronger and more energetic as the sun climbed higher.
At this time, all of Aryan's attributes have already surpassed A, reaching A+ and he could now easily fight and even defeat most of the Athirathis. He could even take a stand against a Maharathi for some time.
"May be I should spare some time and learn some combat techniques and spear skills. Otherwise I will be sorry for my attributes. "
After giving a chuckle midair, Aryan landed back on the ground, creating a crator where he stepped his feet.
Then without stopping, he jumped ahead and released multiple slashes in different places, killing thousands of soldiers with every move.
* boom *
After landing back on the ground, instead of repeating the same attack, Aryan thought of trying another move.
After charging the spear with heat energy, Aryan started spinning in place like a top.
"Solar whirlwind! "
Before long, a ten metre high flaming tornado appeared on the battlefield and started wreaking havoc everywhere.
"This is awesome! "
Aryan admired his masterpiece as he took a rest.
Meanwhile, seeing Aryan wantonly wreaking havoc on the battlefield, Bhallabh Udrabhan and Ranveer Vangam finally couldn't bear it.
Both of them got together and decided to encircled Aryan with a few other powerful warriors.
In the meantime, they instructed the soldiers to use sea tactics to engage King Chitrangad.
