32 The Greatest Sun

Seeing this screen everyone was shocked yet again. Because after witnessing how Aryan defeated Bheem with a single punch , everyone thought that he was a close combat fighter like him. 

But now it seems that they were all wrong. And some knowledgeable people likes Bheesm and Dronacharya also discovered the specialness of the spear. 

"A divine weapon? I just don't know if he gained it through a boon or inhereited it. "

Dronacharya murmured in a low voice . 

Meanwhile, Arjun was also surprised by the way Aryan neutralised his attack but he still didn't think that he could defeat himself. 

Chanting another mantra, Arjun summoned the Parvatastra and a huge rock, almost as large as a hill was hurled at Aryan. 

"Cruel Sun! "

Aryan simply raised his index finger towards the rock and a miniature sun appeared on the tip of his finger. 

With a single flick, he threw the miniature sun towards the rock and immediately after collision, it was burt to nihility, without even leaving behind any debris. 

Not in a mood to drag the fight, Aryan simply used his current strongest move. 

"The Greatest Sun! "

In the anime seven deadly sins, this was a move used by the Archangel Mael, which creates a miniature sun that can grows at will to a huge size,

with no upper limits to its power. 

Before long, a huge sun appeared above Aryan's head, the audience in the stage had long been unable to bear the heat and wnt unconscious. The only reason they were still alive is because Bheesm had timely created a barrier to protect them. And Aryan knew this, that's why he was so rampant. 

Meanwhile, after feeling the immense power in the miniature sun hovering in the sky, Arjun finally faltered. 

Yes, he was scared. He knew that he couldn't counter this attack. After all, he has just graduated from the Gurukul (academy) and hasn't aquired any of those powerful divine astras shown in Mahabharat. It was only later on in the time when he aquires those astras to prepare for Mahabharat battle. 

For now, he was powerless to stop this and ended up falling to the ground on his knees as Gandiva fell out of his hands.

"I think this much is enough Udra naresh. You should now take back your power or else I will take it as a declaration of war against Hastinapur. And then, you will have to face me as your opponent. "

Bheesm finally spoke to remind Aryan. 

Naturally, Aryan wasn't here to really kill Arjun or launch a war against Hastinapur. He might think about it when he has gotten all the seven abilities but for now he still doesn't have the confidence . 

Unlike Arjun, Bheesm and Dronacharya have already aquired powerful astras and are at the peak of their strength. 

"Don't worry Mahaamahim Bheesm. I am not here to fight Hastinapur and neither do I have any prejudice against Arjun or Bheem. I was just trying to teach them an important life lesson which they unfortunately weren't taught. 

It's good to be confident of your strength. But never let arrogance replace it . "

With that, Aryan slowly retracted the power of the miniature sun in his body. 

As Aryan retracted the immense power of the miniature sun, the blazing heat dissipated, and the audience slowly regained consciousness, their dazed expressions gradually giving way to relief and amazement. The arena, once engulfed in scorching heat, returned to its normal state, albeit marked by the aftermath of the intense confrontation.

Arjun, who had fallen to his knees, breathed a sigh of relief as the overwhelming threat dissipated. He realized the extent of Aryan's strength and the wisdom of heeding Bheesm's warning.

Bheem, though still recovering from his injuries and in immense pain, managed to sit up with the assistance of his brothers. Kunti, their mother, approached Bheem with a mixture of concern and gratitude, thankful that he was alive despite the severity of his wounds.

Bheesm, Dronacharya, and other dignitaries on the stage were deeply impressed by Aryan's display of power and his ability to control it. Aryan's words about teaching a life lesson through the confrontation resonated with some, as humility was a virtue highly valued in their culture.

Aryan, now joined by Bhanumati, looked unscathed and composed despite the intense battle. He exchanged a few words with Bhanumati, reassuring her of his well-being. Then, he turned his attention to the Pandavas.

"I hope you have all learned the importance of humility and the consequences of arrogance," Aryan stated calmly, addressing the Pandava brothers. "Strength should always be tempered with wisdom and respect. Remember this lesson well."

Kripacharya, who had initially been shocked by the events, nodded in agreement.

" King Aryan is right. This is a valuable lesson for all of us. Let us use this experience to grow and understand the true essence of our duties as warriors."

Of course, it was unknown if he really thought so or was just saying this to dissolve the conflict peacefully and alleviate the situation. 

Shakuni, who had eagerly observed the unfolding drama, was not pleased with the resolution but recognized that further provocation might lead to dire consequences. He chose to remain silent for the moment.

"Let this incident be a reminder to us all that power should be wielded responsibly. Our actions have consequences, and it is our duty to uphold righteousness and justice."

Bheesm also stepped forward and addressed the gathering.

The tension that had gripped the arena slowly dissipated as the crowd cheered for Aryan's strength and wisdom. 

But before going back to the stage, Aryan paused and briefly glanced at Karna before turning towards Kripacharya. 

"Also, to answer your previous question, from this moment on, this Suta warrior Karna, is the Senapati of Udra kingdom. So, according to your traditions, he should now be able to challenge your prince Arjun right? "

"Huh? "

Kripacharya, who thought that the situation was settled was left stunned after hearing this. 

First of all, he couldn't believe that Aryan still remembered that topic. And secondly, he couldn't believe even more that Aryan actually appointed a Suta / charioteer's son as his Senapati. 

The reason for his shock is because the varna system is too deeply routed in people's heart. 

Meanwhile Karna was already preparing to leave the arena. He knew full well that no one was going to attend to the words of a Suta like him, and definitely not after what just happened. 

But to his surprise, the powerful Udra naresh still remembered him. And he even offered him the position of his Senapati? 

Karna immediately stepped forward to face Aryan and bowed his head. 

"Although I am very grateful that you considered me this able, but unfortunately I can't bear this responsibility. I only came here because Guru Dronacharya challenged all the warriors of Ayavrat. I don't want any position or wealth. Besides, it would smear your kingdom's reputation if a Suta were to be your Senapati."
