What happening

Victoria commands, "Bring him here. Excellent."

Victoria takes a box from a man who had just arrived and opens it. Inside is a silver skull, with a red, brain-like substance visible from the top.

Someone softly asks, "What is that thing?"

Aniket, who overhears, replies, "Maybe it's an artifact. You could call it a kind of magical machine. I mean, just like we use machines here, this is an artifact. The only difference is that it's not made using science but with materials from magical beasts or similar things."

"Stop your nonsense," someone interrupts. "These people are going to kill us."

Aniket responds, "Oh, is that so? As if I didn't already know."

"Can't you see? We're surrounded from all sides. There's no way to escape. Even if we somehow reach the edge of this bubble, we'll drown and die the moment we step outside."

"So, we're doomed, no matter what."

Someone asks, "But why are they killing us?" Another voice replies, "Maybe they've gotten what they wanted from us, and now we're useless to them."

Victoria smiles and says, "Attention, heroes! The time has come to forget all your pain."

Saying this, he lifts the skull and commands, "Activate."

Avinash, who was cleaning his glasses, puts them on and is momentarily blinded by the intense light. One by one, everyone collapses to the ground. They are all lying unconscious, except for a few. Avinash realizes what he must do and pretends to faint as well.

Victoria, observing the scene, says, "Excellent. Everyone is in place. Now, quickly, pick them up and arrange to move them elsewhere. After all, it doesn't look good to see heroes lying unconscious like this on the ground. And make sure they don't get even a scratch."

At that moment, Xavier speaks up, "Don't you think you should ensure that their memories are completely erased and that they're genuinely unconscious?"

Victoria, replying sharply, says, "Stay in your place. Don't tell me how to do my job. Everyone, prepare to transfer them to another location immediately."

Xavier shouts, "No one will move forward! You've already made enough changes here, but no more. First, we need to confirm that they are truly unconscious."

Victoria, controlling his anger, says, "This is a royal order, and it must be fulfilled immediately. I don't care what you tell the King later or how your princess reacts. Now, get out of my way."

Xavier hesitates for a moment and says, "But..."

Before he can complete his sentence, several stingers emerge from Victoria's fingers, wrapping tightly around Xavier.

Victoria, with a dangerous smile, says, "I absolutely love it when someone interferes with my work."

Xavier, visibly shaken and not wanting to meet the same fate as the priest, says, "Fine, do whatever you want."

A While Later

Avinash could feel his body being tossed around like a sack. He tried to open his eyes slightly but quickly shut them when he noticed someone standing nearby.

Gathering some courage after a moment, he opened his eyes slightly again and saw a glowing purple pattern beneath him. It was similar to what he had seen earlier when he was first brought into this world.

A voice echoed, "Magicians, what's taking so long? Isn't the teleportation done yet?"

Another responded, "It's almost done." Suddenly, the glow intensified.

Avinash felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as though someone was twisting it from the inside. He felt like he was about to vomit, but he knew if he did, he'd be exposed. He tried his best to suppress it.

One of the magicians said, "Why hasn't the mana stone arrived yet? Hurry, we need to finish the supplies immediately."

The second magician asked, "What about these people?"

The first one yelled, "Are you out of your mind? They're unconscious. Now, move!"

After the two magicians left, Avinash slowly tried to stand up, glancing around the place. It was nothing more than a dark room. There was a large door ahead, but not a single window. The faintly glowing purple circle on the floor was now dimming.

Suddenly, Avinash felt another wave of pain in his stomach. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't hold it in anymore and was about to vomit when a hand covered his mouth.

"Don't do anything stupid."

In front of him stood a girl, her hand over his mouth. Her other hand pressed tightly against her own stomach, and her lips were sealed shut as she struggled to suppress her discomfort.

Suddenly, the door began to creak open. The two magicians entered, carrying some stones.

One of them glanced ahead and said, "Doesn't something feel off? That boy was lying over there. How is he here now? Something's wrong."

The second magician snapped, "Stop your nonsense and do your job. You're imagining things. Besides, these people's faces look different anyway. Quickly place the mana stones in position; there are more to be teleported."

Later

Avinash could feel himself being carried again, like a sack.

A voice commanded, "Listen carefully. Use your repair ability on all their clothes. Then use your clean ability to ensure they are spotless. Lastly, heal each one of them, whether they're injured or not.

And remember, they'll regain consciousness in two hours, so the work must be completed within one."

Two Hours Later

Someone slowly opened their eyes, holding their head in pain. "Where am I?" they mumbled, looking around to see many others gradually waking up.

Someone shouted, "Can anyone tell me what I'm doing here, and why does my head hurt so much?"

A calm voice responded, "Welcome, heroes."

Standing before them was none other than Victoria, a faint smile gracing his face.
