Prakriti's P.O.V,
"Come at me!"
Bang!
With a Shout, Karna faced the punch of a water golem, similar to Karna whether in height or strength.
The collision of their fists created ripples in the surrounding air, making it chaotic.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Karna didn't stop after the first punch, instead he used his legs and hands to attack the water golem, his only thought was to destroy it!
However, The water golem wasn't a softy either. It parried every punch or kick thrown at him. And why couldn't it?
After all, it is created by Devi Ganga through her water with a little bit of her power diluted in this golem's body.
It was her idea to Karna train his body until he can find a teacher for himself. It's just, the current Karna was unable to overcome the fraction of Devi Ganga's power...
Bang!
"Argh!"
Swiss!
As a consequence, he was overpowered at his sixth confrontation by his own reflection and flew through the air like a ragdoll!
"Coo."
Aarav was also observing the whole fight while he enjoyed the gentle caressing of Devi Ganga, on the side of the river. He let out a disappointed chirp when he saw his brother defeated by his clone, again.
The current power level of Karna didn't even reach the stage of Ashvarohi (Horseman). At present, he can at most defeat five Padatik (Infantrymen).
[Note: Ranks of Warriors during Mahabharat,
Padatik - These were the soldiers who marched on foot or infantrymen . The main army consisted of these Padatik.
Ashvarohi - These are the horsemen or equal to 12 Padatik or infantrymen. These were the officers in the army and controlled the Padatik .
Gaja - These are the soldiers who fight on elephants' backs and are equal to 12 Ashvarohi. The elephants were well trained for the war and were a main part of the army .
Ardha Rathi - These are the soldiers who fight on Chariot and are equal to 1 Gaja or 12 Ashvarohi.
Rathi - These are warriors who are equal to 12 Ardha Rathi .
Yudhishthira , Nakul , Sahadeva , Jayadratha , 99 Kauravas , Shakuni , Upapandavs etc. . These are some examples of Rathi .
AtiRathi – A warrior who is considered equal to 12 Rathi. These were the main officers of the army and led a small part of the troop with them.
Duryodhana , Bheema , Prince Satyaki, King Draupada , Ghatotkacha , Shalya , Vibhishana ,etc. These are some popular AtiRathi.
Maharathi - A warrior who is superior to all officers in the army and a major portion of the army is under him . It is equal to 12 AtiRathi or 144 Rathi.
Dronacharya , Maharishi Kripacharya , Ashwatthama, Shri Gangaputra Bhisma, Karna, Arjuna etc.
Beside these mortal ranks, The individuals above the power level of Earth can be classified into these ranks:
-Ati-Maharathi (Partial-Invincibility realm) - The realm above Maharathi rank, far from the limit of the world is this realm. The individuals in this realm can play with a Maharathi warrior by using their full strength. Even Devas can't win against them. Fortunately, the warriors of this caliber don't use their powers in any battle. Only at the critical junction would they unleash their terrifying might!
Shri Krishna , Shri Balarama, Shri Hanuman , Maharishi Parshuram and all the avatars of Vishnu are Ati Maharathi.
(Their strength can't be measure through the number of people they can defeat but from their influence on the world.)
-Maha-Maharathi (Supreme Realm)- These are the gods who are theoretically equal to 24 Ati Maharathi . They are invincible and the best class among the warriors. Their mere thoughts can bring Apocalypse on Earth! They are the true rulers of the world.
However! To reach this level, one didn't only need strength but they must possess unparalled spirit and without it, their would be unable to even maintain the powers which originates from the true laws of the universe used in its creation, destruction or Nurturing.
Lord Vishnu , Lord Shiva , Lord Brahma , Shri Ganesh, Shri Kumar Kartikeya and Every respected Devi. etc. ]
[Note: These ranks are taken from the literature but have been modified to determine the strength of the Supreme Warriors. Also, a warrior at the same realm needn't be equal in strength. Maharathi Bhisma can beat two or more Maharathi (Maybe?).
Additionally, Though a Ashvarohi is equal to 12 infantrymen, but it didn't mean that he can be defeated by twelve infantrymen.
It on the grounds of some simple logic, the concentrated power of twelve Infantrymen into one Ashvarohi is much greater than individual Infantrymen.
Hope they will resolve your doubts! (Don't mind the grammar in this note...)]
Plop!
After a while, Karna lost his momentum and fell into the water which took him beside the Devi Ganga.
When Devi Ganga saw the state of Karna, She addressed Karna, "Putra, It's enough for now. Right?"
After all, Celestial or not, no mother can see her child getting abused. Despite the tough front a mother makes when a mother has to beat her own children, she inwardly cries at her actions.
On the other hand,
Even though it was the fifth time, Karna lost to his reflection/ clone, his unwavering will of conquest didn't lessened a bit.
The warrior inside him was raring to for another round which vanished without a trace when Karna heard the sweet voice of Devi Ganga. Though her words sounded pleasant to hear, it was nothing to scoff at. Additionally, her smile didn't reach her eyes, giving Karna a slight fright.
"Alright Maa." To avoid the ire of Devi Ganga, Karna obeyed her command Because...
When a mother says no, it's a no.
Hearing the affirmation of Karna, She dried his wet hairs with a soft towel, something that can be done by her single thought.
But, you know, Mother issues...
...
"Pranam Maa!"
"Coo~"
After enjoying a little care of Devi Ganga, Karna and Aarav left the riverside of Maa Ganga after a not so normal day.
Under the dim illumination of the setting Sun, Karna returned to his home, dinner with his parents and went to sleep early.
[Note: I don't think I need to mention about his prayers, bathing routine etc. every time. If yes, My apologies. It will make this story rather bland.]
[Note: Additionally, I feel very sad for Karna. Why? Because... There were no proper toilets at his time!!!]
Next day, He played with Vrushali for a Pahar (Purvanha Pahar) before he sneaked into the foggy forest surrounding the city of Hastinapur, The capital of Kuru Kingdom.
As usual, Aarav accompanied him in his every quest.
Flap-Flap*
Swish~
When Karna arrived beside a five meter tall flat surfaced rock, Aarav flew into the sky.
Karna surveyed the surroundings to find any animals or other beings. Fortunately, he didn't find anyone in the five hundred meter radius of the rock.
Therefore he sat on the rock and waited patiently for the arrival of Aarav.
When Suryadev reached at the middle of the sky,
"Coo~"
Aarav landed on the right shoulder of Karna and chirped a few times which translate into,
'I had met every bird and insect and found that this place is neither a hunting ground nor any other animal residing here. So you don't have to worry about anything!'
Karna smiled after hearing this. He cleaned the rock with the pure water of Devi Ganga. Aarav lazily laid on his shoulder as he watched Karna doing these mysterious actions for who knows why?
When he was done, Karna looked at the place and sat in the middle of the stone and attained a meditation posture.
Following which, he closed his eyes recited some mantras,
"Om Shri Ganeshay Namah ~"(ओम श्री गणेशाय नमः)
"O' great mother who is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient! I bow to thy great self!" (या देवी सर्वभुतेषु बुद्धिरूपेण संस्थितानमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः)
These were the first chants to be recited to praise Shri Ganesh and Maa Shakti.
[Note: Please don't mind the sequence. I'm aware that Shri Ganesh's stature is below than Maa Shakti. However, would a mother ever question why was she mentioned before her son?]
Then,
"Om ###########~"
"Om**********~"
"Om *******~
Karna started chanting some chants that even I couldn't decipher.
The words coming out from his mouth were so profound that even I felt lost for a moment! Aside from the sacred syllable 'Om' I was unable to make sense of his gibberish with sacred words!
In my quest to decode them, I even forgot to camouflage the disasters that will happen every time Karna recites chants!
What a trouble loving kid he is!
But, when I concentrated on finding anomalies occurring in the world, I found... nothing!
The chants of Karna were totally detached from this world's laws!
There is no change to the current Karna! I can't observe his actions! OoO!
What is this mystery?!!!
...
"Putri~"

Another cliffhanger~~~
