The news channel arrived at the old man's house for an interview. With a grave expression, he began, "Ashta Siddhis are powers possessed by gods. 'Ashta' means eight, and 'Siddhis' means supernatural powers. I believe there are eight such creatures in our world, and we must find a way to defeat them. One of these powers, 'Prakamya,' allows the possessor to convert imagination into reality. If a creature with this power attacks us, the consequences could be catastrophic. We owe a great deal to the young man, Yohan. If he hadn't thrown the creature into the water, many more people might have died."
The old man continued, his tone pleading, "I urge the government to show some mercy towards Yohan. He risked his life to protect us, and we should honor his bravery."
As the interview concluded, a reporter asked, "Sir, is there any weakness for these creatures?"
The old man paused, then replied, "I don't know for certain. Perhaps Yohan knows more than we do.
Chennai was placed under military control, leaving Yohan with no other choice. He had been hiding in an old pipe for two days when a military officer spotted him.
"Freeze or I'll shoot!" the officer commanded.
Yohan raised his hands and replied, "Is this my reward for what I've done?"
"It's my duty, young man. Please surrender. You have to answer some questions, that's all," the officer responded.
Yohan reluctantly agreed and was taken into custody. The investigation began, with news channels broadcasting the event live, and the whole world watching.
The military officer, Henry, started the interrogation. "Who are you?" he asked.
"I am Yohan," he replied.
"How did you throw that creature without any equipment?" Henry inquired.
"I have mastered martial arts," Yohan answered.
"Who are these creatures?" Henry pressed.
"It's Ashta Siddhis," Yohan responded.
"Do you know how they are born?" Henry continued.
"I don't know," Yohan admitted.
"Do they have any weaknesses?" Henry asked.
"Yes, they do," Yohan confirmed.
"What is it?" Henry demanded.
"They are being controlled by someone. We need to find them," Yohan revealed.
"Who is that? Can you guess who it might be?" Henry questioned.
"We can find him easily if we check the survivors of the ship incident and the beach incident," Yohan suggested.
The world was shocked by his revelations, and panic spread among governments as they grappled with the reality of dealing with supernatural powers.
Yohan was placed in a comfortable room, surrounded by top-tier military protection to prevent any chance of escape. The room was secure and equipped with advanced surveillance and monitoring systems, ensuring constant observation.
Despite the comfort of his surroundings, Yohan felt the weight of his situation. He knew he was under close scrutiny, with guards stationed outside his door and cameras monitoring his every move. The gravity of the situation sank in as he pondered the events that had led him here and the uncertain future ahead.
Meanwhile, outside the room, military personnel continued their operations, maintaining a high level of security to contain the supernatural threat and gather more information about the Ashta Siddhis and their potential implications.
In response to the supernatural threat and the events involving Yohan, governments worldwide united to impose a temporary ban on ship rides. This decision was made to prevent further incidents and ensure the safety of maritime travel.
Military forces from various nations mobilized, converging on Chennai to bolster security and assist in containing the situation. The city became a hub of military activity, with troops, vehicles, and advanced equipment arriving to reinforce local authorities.
The global coordination underscored the severity of the situation and the determination to address the supernatural powers and their implications. Leaders and officials from different countries conferred on strategies to handle the crisis, coordinating efforts to investigate the Ashta Siddhis and locate any remaining creatures.
The atmosphere in Chennai and around the world was tense, as people awaited updates and hoped for a resolution to the unprecedented events that had shaken their sense of security.
Under the cover of night, the creature emerged from the ocean, swiftly annihilating every military presence at Marina Beach. Simultaneously, other creatures started attacking Sri Lanka. Yohan sensing something amiss, Yohan urgently alerted Henry and raced towards Marina Beach, only to find all military personnel already dead upon arrival.
"Stay here, Yohan. I'll call for reinforcements," Henry ordered as they braced for confrontation. Without warning, the creature unleashed a devastating electric attack, striking both Yohan and Henry.
Yohan noticed a new inscription on the creature's hand: "Isitva." Remembering its elemental powers, Yohan realized the magnitude of the threat. His attacks barely slowed its rapid regeneration, leaving Yohan at a loss. Desperate, he instructed Henry to fire a rocket launcher. The explosion immobilized the creature as it attempted to flee into the sea. Yohan shattered its leg, preventing escape, and surrounded it with flames from the rocket's impact.
Enveloped in fire, the creature bellowed threats of revenge. Yohan urged Henry to douse it with petrol, causing it to melt completely, leaving behind a mysterious stone. Perplexed, Yohan picked up the stone, which mysteriously integrated with his body upon touch. Henry looked on in shock as Yohan's realization dawned.
With a grin, Yohan felt the stone's power as he effortlessly manipulated the elements. "We've found its weakness," Yohan declared confidently.
Yohan said to Henry, 'The fight was easier because the caster's delay was too long. If he were here, we would have been in serious trouble.
With Yohan's defeat of one creature, the remaining seven seized control of Sri Lanka. A man stepped forward, taking a seat in a commanding chair. "I am your new ruler, Ashura," he proclaimed, learning of the Ashta Siddhi creature's defeat and the discovery of its weakness.
The people of Sri Lanka pleaded for mercy, but one young boy stood defiantly against Ashura. His name was Akhil, and he boldly confronted Ashura, "What kind of creature are you? You've taken my mother and sister. Look at my father's tears."
Ashura approached Akhil calmly, "I regret the loss, young man, but I have no time for conversation. Enjoy the rain; your suffering begins now." With a wave of his hand, Ashura commanded the creatures to hurl Akhil into the ocean. Akhil was thrown into the unforgiving waters. The whole world witnessed the repercussions: heavy rain poured incessantly, shocking scientists and causing ocean currents to surge. At this rate, small islands were in danger of sinking.
