Chapter 48: Aftermath Part-1
The simplicity of his achievement became apparent, and the individual's avaricious nature played a pivotal role. Jason had astutely recognized the individual's greed through their conversation, using it to his advantage.
By positioning himself as a shield, he created a momentary diversion, seizing the individual's attention and allowing him the crucial time to enact his plan. By the time the individual made his decision, it was too late—Jason had already placed the item onto the core.
In this selfless act, Jason fulfilled his debt to both the people and the planet that had nurtured and provided for him.
With his very life, he secured their salvation. It was a testament to his unwavering dedication and the lengths he was willing to go to protect that which he held dear and at his final moment.
The gravity of Jason's sacrifice weighed heavily upon the individual. In the wake of this revelation, the true magnitude of his own greed and callousness unfolded before him.
Regret washed over him, mixing with a profound sense of guilt for underestimating Jason's resourcefulness and resilience.
As Jason's life ebbed away, his legacy remained—a symbol of selflessness, bravery, and unwavering determination. His final act echoed through the depths of time, forever etching his name into the annals of those who sacrificed everything for the greater good.
With a final gaze fixed on the figure before him, Jason's life gradually slipped away. As his last breath escaped his lips, cracks began forming at the core, spreading relentlessly throughout every inch of it.
Before the onlooker could intervene, a blinding light erupted from the ruptures, forcefully propelling outward and engulfing the contents of the room in a shroud of brilliance.
With a resounding boom, the core unleashed an explosive force, engulfing the confines of the room in a blinding blast.
Astonishingly, the impact remained contained within the room, as if an impermeable shield had descended upon its boundaries.
Beyond those walls, eerie tranquillity prevailed, undisturbed by the cataclysmic event transpiring within.
The astonishing dichotomy between the chaos within and the serene stillness outside instilled a sense of awe and bewilderment, leaving any onlookers to ponder the enigmatic nature of the room's shielding as if someone would have watched it.
After a few secs, the dust settled and things started to become somewhat clear from the look of it it's quite clear that the damage is way above the charts.
All the interior walls had been turned to dust there was no sign of the teleportation gate which indicated that it also turned into dust including all the things present inside the room.
Seeing that it was quite clear if not for the protective layers the damage had been more than anybody could have imagined.
Still, it was not the moment to enjoy as seeing all the damage it was quite clear that even Jason's remains had turned into dust.
In the midst of the swirling dust, a captivating sight unfolded: an entity stirred within, steadily expanding until it transformed into the unmistakable form of a human being.
In a matter of mere seconds, the distinct features of this being revealed themselves with resounding clarity, leaving no room for doubt.
It became undeniably evident that the entity taking shape was none other than the very individual who had previously occupied the room alongside Jason.
The recognition sparked a mix of astonishment, curiosity, and perhaps a hint of apprehension, as it was almost impossible to live after getting caught in the core blast.
Nonetheless, it seems other than him everything turned into dust and the question remained how did he turn back into his previous self after getting burned down to dust.
Still from the looks of the individual neither, he seemed angry or disheartened but surprisingly had a calm look as if he regained the composition back that he lost during his conversation with Jason.
As the healing process concluded, the revived individual cast a discerning gaze upon the wreckage that surrounded him, a wave of relief washing over this countenance.
Taking a moment to absorb the magnitude of the devastation, he let out a sigh, acknowledging the misfortunate turn of events.
Yet, without a moment's pause, a sense of urgency seized the individual. In a remarkable twist, he vanished from the room as swiftly as he had materialized, leaving no trace of their presence behind.
However, before vanishing, in hushed tones, he uttered a few cryptic words to himself, his voice barely audible.
"It appears that circumstances have slipped beyond my control, indicating the need to issue a warning about future endeavours" the individual muttered, his tone laden with resignation.
A tinge of annoyance coloured his voice as he continued, "What an inconvenience! The days ahead shall be filled with relentless tasks. Luckily, I had that invaluable item, lest I too would have succumbed to the fate of dust. Yet, obtaining another will undoubtedly exact a considerable toll."
Reflecting on the past events, the individual's thoughts shifted. "Nevertheless, what transpired is now relegated to the annals of time. However, the identity of the one aiding that insignificant human eludes me. It seems his efforts to preserve him were in vain, yet I must disclose this to the others. Who knows if he shall persist in disrupting our future undertakings."
The enigmatic figure's voice trailed off, leaving the room enveloped in contemplative silence. Their cryptic remarks hinted at intricate webs of alliances, plots, and impending challenges, leaving listeners to ponder the intricate tapestry of events yet to unfold.
The significance of these whispered utterances remained elusive, as their meaning lingered in the air, a tantalizing mystery to be unravelled.
The abrupt departure of this enigmatic figure left a lingering sense of intrigue, provoking questions that echoed in the silent aftermath of his departure.
Unbeknownst to everyone involved in the chaotic events unfolding on Earth, a handful of individuals bore witness to the turmoil from an extraordinary vantage point. Among them was none other than Archimedes.
Who is currently standing beside Jason's rest of the teammates and from the looks of them they were very worried about the situation.
Bhim's voice trembled with anxiety as he pressed Archimedes for answers. "What happened to Jason? Please, you must know what's going on."
Archimedes turned his gaze towards Bhim and the rest of the team, his expression filled with profoundness and empathy. Taking a deep breath, he mustered the strength to deliver the painful truth. "It appears that your friend has made the ultimate sacrifice to save our planet."
His words landed with a deafening impact, shattering the air around them. In the span of a single day, their losses had grown exponentially. The news of Mike's demise had already devastated them, and now Archimedes revealed that Jason, too, had fallen.
The weight of this double blow crushed their spirits, leaving them reeling with grief.
As seasoned professionals, they had already experienced the heartache of losing friends and colleagues.
Yet, the events of this day transcended their previous encounters. It felt as though they had been thrust into a mission where control slipped from their grasp, akin to a dark and treacherous path they were unwittingly led upon.
Aware of the unpredictable nature of missions, they knew that situations could turn topsy-turvy, and the unexpected could occur.
However, the magnitude of what had unfolded today was beyond the scope of their imaginations. Despite their efforts to maintain composure, Lily's tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, revealing the depth of her sorrow.
The others clenched their fists tightly, a fusion of anger and sadness intertwining within them.
A lingering intuition gnawed at their consciousness— a suspicion that the department must have possessed some knowledge of the events.
It seemed unlikely that they had been dispatched into this perilous situation without any inkling of the risks involved.
Bhim and the rest of the team couldn't shake the feeling that the department had purposefully withheld vital information, either utilizing them as pawns to test the waters or concealing a profound secret.
The latter possibility appeared increasingly implausible, for the weight of the department's secrecy loomed heavily, burdening their minds with unanswered questions.
As the team mourned the loss of Jason and grappled with their grief, Archimedes' next words pierced through their sorrow, jolting them out of their collective mourning.
"But there is something more," Archimedes began, his voice carrying a sense of urgency. "Jason's sacrifice has not been in vain. He sacrificed his life so that you can live so don't show such a weakness as things going to change very quickly"
