"Your majesty, I think I might have a way to solve our current predicament."
Karna said hesitantly.
"What? "
Hearing these words, Aryan exclaimed in surprise and turned around to look at Karna, wondering if he was just imagining things or is this real.
"I said, I might have a way. Although I am not sure if it would work or not, but I think it's definitely worth a try. "
Karna repeated his words again, this time a little more confidently.
"Alright Karna, tell me your plan. If this really works, then I'll be indebted to you. "
Aryan said solemnly.
"There's no need for that. I have already vowed to dedicate my whole life to you, so it's only my responsibility to do this. Thus you don't have to feel indebted to me or anything at all."
Karna said humbly.
"Alright, tell me your plan. "
Aryan nodded, he didn't care about these trivial things and asked his plan eagerly.
"Our current problem is that Vajrastra's residual power in Queen Dushala's power is wreaking havoc in her body and stopping the medicines from taking effect. In this situation, like the doctor said, the best solution is to directly seek Indradev's help. "
Karna took a deep breath before continuing,
"But since we don't have any way to summon him or contact him and neither do we know how to access Swarg Lok, then I suggest.... "
Aryan also pricked his ears to listen more carefully.
"I suggest that I summon Brahmastra and force Indradev to appear here regardless of his wishes. But this way, it will hurt his ego if we threaten him like this. And it's unlikely that he will agree to help us . "
Karna proposed his plan.
"This.... "
Hearing Karna's plan, Aryan trailed off for a few seconds before suddenly laughing out loud.
"Hahaha, well done Karna. This is a wonderful idea and probably our only option too. Do it, I'll handle the rest when Indradev appears later on. Today, he has to help us treat Dushala no matter what. Otherwise... "
Aryan said with burning eyes.
Meanwhile, getting Aryan's approval, Karna immediately picked up his Vijay bow and before long, the two of them came outside the city, leaving Bhanumati in the inn to take care of and accompany Subhadra and Dushala.
"Do it. "
Aryan patted Karna on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Hmm."
Karna nodded calmly and started chanting a profound mantra without hesitation.
* boom * * crackle * * boom *
The air crackled with energy as Karna's chanting intensified, his focus unwavering as he summoned the formidable power of Brahmastra. The skies darkened, and a sense of impending awe enveloped the surroundings.
Aryan stood beside Karna, his eyes fixed on the horizon, anticipation coursing through his veins. He knew that this moment could change the fate of Dushala.
As Karna's incantations reached a crescendo, a blinding light erupted from his bow, illuminating the landscape with its divine brilliance. The ground trembled beneath their feet, echoing the magnitude of the power being unleashed.
* boom *
With a resounding roar, the Brahmastra materialized in Karna's bow.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to have dimmed in comparison to this place. And the moment the Brahmastra appeared, multiple catastrophic phenomenon like earthquakes and high tides occurred all over the world.
A large number of deities including Indra were alarmed by this movement.
"Someone has summoned Brahmastra? What the hell is going on? "
"Who's fighting? "
"This is.... Brahmastra! Who?"
Different deities had different reactions and everyone scrambled to look for the source. Before long, they discovered Aryan and Karna's figure standing outside a city using their divine sense.
But all of them selectively ignored the inconspicuous Aryan and focused on Karna , who had summoned the Brahmastra, wondering what was his purpose.
After all, Brahmastra is a forbidden weapon capable of mass destruction and even the deities are not immune to it. So it's only natural that everyone paid extra attention to this matter.
Meanwhile back on earth, Karna slowly opened his eyes after Brahmastra appeared.
He exchanged a brief glance with Aryan and then suddenly looked towards the sky with a fierce gaze, shouting loudly.
"Indradev, I, Lord Parshuram's disciple Radhey Karna ask you to appear before me or I will launch this Brahmastra to destroy you along with your Indralok. "
* boom *
Immediately after Karna's domineering declaration, all the deities gasped in horror.
It was unthinkable and unimaginable for them that a mere mortal actually blatantly threatened the King of God's himself.
But this was no ordinary challenge. The challenger actually used Brahmastra to threaten them, making it impossible to ignore.
Almost at the same time as Karna challenged Indra to appear in front of him, Indra stood up from his throne angrily and clenched his divine weapon Vajra in his hands.
"Insolence, to actually threaten me, Indra? "
Indra roared angrily while looking down at Karna from Devlok.
The atmosphere crackled with tension as Indra's furious voice reverberated across the celestial realm.
His divine presence loomed over Karna on Earth, as dense lightning clouds gathered above his head as if responding to Indra's anger, a testament to his unrivaled power and authority.
But Karna stood his ground, unfazed, his resolve unyielding in the face of the divine wrath. His gaze remained fixed on the heavens, his determination unwavering as he awaited Indra's response.
Aryan on the side watched with bated breath, his heart pounding with anticipation.
As the echoes of Karna's challenge faded into the ether, a hushed silence descended upon the celestial assembly. The deities held their breath, their eyes fixed on the unfolding confrontation between mortal and god, also wondering how Indra would respond.
Indra's expression darkened with fury, his divine aura pulsating with unrestrained power. In his hand, the Vajra gleamed with ominous light, a harbinger of divine retribution.
The next second, Indra disappeared from the throne room in Devlok and almost simultaneously, a huge projection appeared in the dark clouds above Karna and Aryan.
"Know your place, mortal," Indra thundered, his voice resounding with divine authority. "To wield Brahmastra is to court destruction, and to challenge me is to invite your own demise. You have committed two unforgivable sins at the same time. "
But Karna remained undaunted, his resolve unshaken by Indra's ominous warning. He stood tall, his eyes blazing with defiance, as he prepared to face the might of the Godking.
"Indradev, I seek not conflict, but justice."
Karna declared, his voice ringing clear and true, and explained his motive without any ambiguity, so as not to create any misunderstanding.
"Queen Dushala lies gravely wounded, her life hanging in the balance. I call upon you to help us and heal her. After all, she was injured while fighting Devlok's foreign enemies, under your own instructions. Unfortunately, I had no other way to seek your attention so I had to resort to such drastic measures. "
The celestial realm trembled with the weight of Karna's words, his plea resonating with unwavering conviction.
Other deities also finally understood the cause and effect of this matter.
Indra's gaze also softened, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features. Beneath his divine veneer, he recognized the sincerity in Karna's plea.
For a moment, the heavens hung in suspended silence, the tension palpable in the air. After all, although Karna's intention were pure and reasonable but the method was really too demeaning to Indra, the king of Gods.
More importantly, Indra's anger and egotistical character was well known. Thus everyone knew that with Indra's character, this matter was difficult to end peacefully.
At the same time, Surya Dev ( Sun god) also became a little uneasy seeing Karna confronting Indra.
No matter what! Karna was his son after all. There's no way he can allow Indra to hurt him. Thus he was ready to intervene at a moment's notice.

Indra, though momentarily softened by Karna's plea, could not easily set aside his wounded pride.
Aryan, sensing the precariousness of the situation, stepped forward, his voice resonating with a tone of diplomacy.
"Indradev, we understand the gravity of summoning Brahmastra. But our intent is not to defy or offend you. We simply seek your help to save our companion's life. "
Although Aryan said so very humbly, it didn't mean that he was afraid of Indra. With his current strength, he was confident to stay undefeated even if the other party is the king of gods Indra himself.
It's just that, right now, saving Dushala is more important. It doesn't matter if he has to bow his head under the eaves for her her sake. As long as Indra agrees to help, this much is no problem since technically they were indeed in the wrong for threatening him with Brahmastra.
But of course, if the situation turns for the worse, Aryan was also prepared for it.
Indra, after a prolonged silence, spoke with measured authority.
"Mortal, your audacity may have invoked a higher power, but it also risks the wrath of the divine order. However, for the sake of the delicate balance, I shall heed your plea."
A collective exhale swept through the celestial assembly as all deities heaved a sigh of relief and Aryan also nodded appreciatively
Karna also dismissed the Brahmastra and heaved a sigh of relief.
But suddenly Indra's tone changed as he continued solemnly,
"Yet, be warned. The path you tread is fraught with peril. The Brahmastra wields immense power, and its consequences are not to be taken lightly. And to make you understand this, although I agree to help you, but there is a condition. "
All the deities immediately nodded with an expression of as expected. Obviously, they knew Indra too well.
He was no kind God and certainly not one to easily forgive those who offend his majesty.
This, hearing his high sounding words, they immediately understood that they were nothing but his excuse to punish these mortals with a self righteous attitude.
"What are your conditions? "
Although Aryan smelt something odd, but he still asked calmly.
"It's very simple, as long as you can take three of my moves without using Brahmastra, I will help you heal your friend. Otherwise... "
Indra didn't complete his sentence but the meaning was obvious as a cold smile appeared on his face.
The atmosphere crackled with tension as Indra laid out his conditions, his demeanor veiled in a cloak of superiority.
Aryan's face immediately turned dark.
But after taking a deep breath, he looked up at Indra, his voice carrying a chilly undertone.
"Looks like my previous humbleness might have given you the false impression that I am a soft perssimon. So be it, I agree to your conditions. "
"Hahaha, very good. "
Indra's cold smile widened, a gleam of satisfaction dancing in his eyes.
But at this timr, Surya Dev could no longer stand by idly and hurriedly took action.
Almost instantly, he disappeared from Devloak and a bright projection appeared in the sky beside Indra, above Karna and Aryan, dispelling a large part of the cloudy sky.
Naturally, it attracted Indra's attention and made him a little unhappy.
"Surya Dev, what are you doing down on Earth? And if you're here to stop me then don't even try. This matter has nothing to do with you and you have no right to interfere with my own decisions. "
Hearing Indra's cold words, Surya Dev didn't panic, instead he first looked down at Karna lovingly and once again looked back at Indra with a serious expression.
"Actually Indra Dev, this matter does have something to do with me. "
"What do you mean? "
Indra asked confused.
Surya Dev's radiant presence shone brightly amidst the celestial drama, his words carrying a weight that demanded attention.
He immediately used his divine sense to communicate with Indra mentally.
"I mean, Indra, that the mortal standing before you, Karna, is not just an ordinary being. He is my son, and as his father, I cannot stand by when his life is at stake."
"What? Surya Dev, you have kept this hidden for so long?"
Indra questioned mentally, his expression a mix of surprise and annoyance.
"I had my reasons, and his destiny unfolded on its own accord," Surya Dev responded calmly. "But now, Karna faces a challenge you've set forth. As a father, I cannot remain a silent spectator."
Indra, though visibly irritated, couldn't dismiss the familial ties presented before him. After all, Surya Dev was not a good stubble. If he were to have a conflict with him at this time, the consequences won't be favourable for him.
After a moment of contemplation, Indra spoke with a hint of begrudging acceptance.
"Very well, Surya Dev. I won't do anything to your son. But as for the other one, he can only pray that his strength can match his courage."
Hearing this, Surya Dev contemplated for a few seconds before he finally accepted and disappeared.
He also knew that this was already the best result he could strive for. As for the guy named Aryan, Surya Dev could only sigh for him.
Meanwhile, because the conversation between Indra and Surya Dev took place mentally, no one understood the reason why Surya Dev suddenly intervened out of nowhere, nor why he left after a few seconds.
Below, Aryan roughly guessed but he didn't care. He didn't really need Surya Dev to protect him.
"Alright mortal, get ready. "
With no one to interfere, Indra raised his Vajra and with his induction, seven thick bolts of lighting descended upon Aryan crazily.
* boom * * crackle * * boom *
The crackling bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, guided by Indra's command, aimed directly at Aryan, who stood unwavering, his resolve steeling against the impending onslaught.
With a swift movement, Aryan evaded the first lightning bolt, his agility matching the speed of divine wrath. The ground trembled beneath his feet as the electric energy scorched the earth where he once stood, blasting out a huge pit.
Indra, observing from his celestial vantage point, narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpened by the thrill of the challenge as the remaining bolts of lightning struck with precision towards Aryan.
This time, instead of dodging, Aryan activated his Sunshine ability, formed a miniature sun between his hands and flung it towards the oncoming bolt of lightning.
* boom *
A large cloud of dust and smoke were raised, making it impossible to see the result.
