There was complete silence. Everyone was watching Nahru, who stood there with a lot of pain in his eyes. He looked like a living corpse. Damian watched him with tears in his eyes.
Then Nahru said, "Yes, I am a murderer. I didn't kill 1, 10, 100, or thousands of people. I killed one million people."
Everyone was in shock. A chill went through their bodies. Juliet held the tentacle guy as he tried to move.
Nahru began to tell his story, "Let me tell you from the start."
Flashback to the past:
Nahru: "There are many things and powers that exist in this universe that you guys don't know. Many types of power users. The one nation who is expert in using a particular power becomes their guardian. I am one of them. I belong to a white line dimensional chamber and am simply called a white line user."
"Our nation is 10,000 years old, and in all those years, there have been many strong white line users born. But everything changed when I was born. I was born as the strongest white line power in our whole generation. No one could ever match that energy. Even our king and seven strongest guardians were afraid of me."
"That's why I was raised like a king. Everyone feared me, everyone respected me. They were proud of me and thought they could now surpass other nations with my strength. But there was something else in my heart. As I grew, I found this place boring."
"They are all slaves who can't even breathe freely without permission. Everything is decided, and we have to spend our long lives like that. I got sick of it. I didn't talk to anyone. I just kept training as they wanted me to."
"When I was sitting one day, scrolling through dimensions, I saw Earth and humans. I got impressed by their way of living. They learn, study, make friends, are kind, and live happily. I saw a lot of things daily. When I got free time, I just kept watching them. I really wanted to go there and live like that."
"And then I made a decision."
Nahru's eyes became dark.
Nahru: "I knew they wouldn't allow me to go there because it's a rule. Our king doesn't allow that. So, I killed each and every one of them. I sealed our king, the seven top guardians, and ended this generation."
Ryan asked, "And they all failed to stop you..."
Nahru replied, "Yes, I am the best white line user. The tricks and moves they used against me were just childish things. I stopped and blocked everyone of them and came here."
"But the point is that I am not like a human. So, when I came here..."
Flashback to the day when Nahru came to Earth:
Nahru: "So, this is Earth. Finally, I'm here. But with this look, people got afraid of me... Suddenly, I saw a boy who passed by, and then I killed another person. By breaking the rule and giving up 50% of my power, I made an exchange and took his body."
"As this body is mine now, he got forgotten from this world like he never existed. I didn't care what I did because I knew that once I got a hold of my power completely, I could get my lost power back. I just got completely blind in my selfishness..."
"I looked in his pocket, and there was a name written: Nahru. And I took this..."
Nahru started crying.
Ryan thought to himself, "All this just to live like us... like us?"
He looked at his left hand wrist and thought, "Then exchange with me..."
His eyes became empty.
Isobel was shocked. She couldn't believe what she had heard and what Nahru had done. Juliet also lost control of herself.
Nahru said, "But now I realize that life is the same everywhere. It's just a matter of hearts..."
He started sobbing.
The tentacle guy took advantage of the situation and attacked Ryan, Juliet, and Isobel. They tried to defend themselves, and immediately, he attacked Nahru, who was lost in his thoughts.
Blood fell on Nahru's face. He looked up, and Damian was standing in front of him with the tentacle passing through his stomach.
Nahru screamed with pain, "Damiannnnnnn..."
