Amaan, upon hearing what had happened, punched the table and exclaimed, "Damn it! If only we had known earlier that all the high-end places in Royal City have scanners, we wouldn't have even come here." The reason for their discovery was simple, yet not entirely their fault.

In the eternal alliance of Royal Cities, it is a policy to have built-in scanners for high-end places. With the help of Seera, the scanner had access to the data of the residents as well as tourist information, and the trio didn't have any record in the data, which led Seera to teleport them into an interrogation room.

Rishi looked at him and said, "What happened, we can't change it. It's better to think about how we're going to proceed now. And what His Majesty did wasn't simple; it has caused a lot of commotion." Saying that Rishi continued, "While you were unconscious, I just got some news. See what I found." With that, Rishi swiped his hand, and a hologram appeared before Amaan. Amaan looked and said, "What's this?" Rishi replied, "It's my holophone. You can think of it as the smartphone of your planet." Amaan nodded and checked the screen.

There were many more news articles regarding other topics as well, but Amaan didn't click on them. He just saw the headlines at the top, and his face became more and more grim. After a moment of thought, he looked up at Rishi and said, "Are you telling me that this happened because of Rahul?" He pointed to the holophone, showing a picture of a void that seemed to suck everything into it, along with the whole planet that had lost its laws due to distortion, causing unknown random phenomena to appear and forcing the entire population of that planet to evacuate.

Rishi looked at him calmly and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying." Amaan banged his hand on the table and said, "Like as if I believe you, Rahul can't do such things. He's just a human." In a frustrated voice, he added, "He's a friend of mine; he would never, ever cause such mass casualties."

Rishi understood Amaan's frustration and calmly said, "Amaan, I understand. This situation seems unreal, especially considering that just a few days ago, you and Rahul were on Earth living normal lives, unaware that such a situation could arise someday." Rishi continued, "Rahul is not a human, far from it, he has never been normal like you to begin with having his majesty soul already made him above us. He is even more than above those so-called gods you talk about. So, the first thing you need to accept is that he is not your friend, but a being even above those gods."

Amaan fell silent upon hearing what Rishi said, glancing at Rahul and recalling one of their interactions while taking a stroll in a garden. Rahul, looking forward, said, "Amaan, there are seven billion people on Earth. Do you think there is any real objective to being alive?" He continued, "We humans are way too fickle, ready to betray in a moment for some interest. Yet, human also to go to war For those they love if need be, there are also many uncertainties about what might happen in the next moment." Rahul stopped walking, looked at Amaan, and said, "In this sea of unknowns, if there's one thing I know, it's that we humans have the power to decide our human nature who we want to be. We can become humans with morals or humans with no morals. It's one thing that we have the power to decide." At that time, I didn't realize the entire meaning of those words.

"But now I know what kind of human I want to become," Amaan said in his mind, closing his eyes and then opening them to look at Rishi. He continued out loud, "He can be a devil or he can be those so-called sovereigns, but one thing will never change, even in those times: our friendship." Amaan, once again with a heart full of determination, took an oath to become a human who would not abandon his friend. He vowed to become worthy of standing with Rahul, even if he had to become that so-called sovereign if need be.

Rishi looked at Amaan and said, "If that's what you wish, then so be it. You will understand the difference between him and us. He is not someone we can stand equal to." Saying that Rishi turned and once again took a seat beside Rahul, leaving no room for Amaan to say anything.

Finally, after two days of waiting, Rahul woke up from his unconscious state. Looking around, he saw both Rishi and Amaan doing their things. Amaan was watching a program on TV, while Rishi seemed to be playing a game on a hologram. As both of them noticed him, they made their way towards him.

Amaan said, "Damn, Rahul, it hasn't even been that long since we arrived and you once again fall unconscious. Did you find some fetish in falling unconscious or something?" Rahul, who had just woken up from his state, replied, "I saved your life. At least be a bit grateful, moron." Amaan responded, "As if."

Ignoring Amaan, Rahul looked at Rishi and said, "So, can you tell me what happened after I lost consciousness?" Rishi nodded and recounted the whole story, but he left out the tremble part for now. Rishi continued, "So, I didn't kill them and decided to wait for you to make some decisions. You decide."
