Ashura realized that his powerful ally, Vastva, had been destroyed by Kofi. It was a shocking revelation that shook Ashura to his core. "Fire is not the only weakness of my power," Ashura muttered to himself, contemplating the implications of Vastva's defeat. With a heavy heart, he acknowledged that only six Siddhis remained under his command.
"I have to act swiftly," Ashura thought grimly, his mind racing with thoughts of vengeance and ambition. "I must eliminate three individuals-Yohan, Akhil, and Kofi-to acquire the ultimate power I seek."
Driven by a mixture of rage and desperation, Ashura began to strategize. Each of these individuals posed a significant threat to his plans for dominance. Ashura knew that removing them from the equation was crucial to his quest for supremacy over the multiverse. With resolve hardening in his heart, Ashura prepared to confront his formidable adversaries, knowing that their defeat would bring him one step closer to unrivaled power.
Kofi dialed Yohan's number eagerly, his voice filled with excitement and disbelief as he explained his newfound ability. "Yohan, you won't believe it-I can move at the speed of light!"
Yohan, on the other end of the line, was momentarily stunned. "That's incredible, Kofi," he replied, his voice reflecting both surprise and admiration. "You've gained such an amazing power without any artifact? That's truly remarkable."
"Thanks, Yohan," Kofi said, his tone brimming with gratitude. "I owe a lot to our training and everything we've been through."
"I'm glad to hear that," Yohan responded warmly. "Your speed will be invaluable in our mission to eliminate Ashura."
Kofi nodded eagerly, though Yohan couldn't see it over the phone. "Absolutely, Yohan. Whenever you're ready to plan our next move against Ashura, count me in."
Yohan considered for a moment, then spoke with determination. "Once we've decided on the plan, I'll let you know. Until then, stay prepared."
"Got it," Kofi affirmed, ending the call with a renewed sense of purpose and readiness to join Yohan and Akhil in their mission against Ashura.
Suddenly,the mysterious stone floated in the air, Yohan's confusion deepened. He couldn't believe his ears when the stone started speaking to him.
"Please help us, Yohan," the stone's voice echoed in his mind.
Yohan took a step back, eyes wide with disbelief. "What... what are you?"
"I am one of the Ashta Siddhi," the stone explained. "We are gods of this universe."
Yohan's mind raced with questions. "Gods? But why are you here? Why are you speaking to me?"
The stone's voice remained calm yet urgent. "The evil man named Ashura has absorbed us. He needs a human body to escape from the Trinity's power. He used Yakshin's body to cover his soul."
Yohan's thoughts whirled as he tried to process the gravity of the situation. Ashura, a name he had heard in whispers of danger, now seemed to be involved in a scheme far beyond his understanding.
"Why are you telling me this?" Yohan asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"You possess a unique connection to the elements," the stone replied. "You are our best hope to stop Ashura and restore balance to this world."
Yohan's heart pounded. The weight of responsibility settled on his shoulders. Could he really be the key to thwarting Ashura's plans and saving the Ashta Siddhi?
"I... I'll do whatever I can," Yohan finally said, determination firming his voice.
The stone's voice echoed in Yohan's mind, urging him with a solemn request. "Destroy me, Yohan," it pleaded.
Yohan hesitated, his hand hovering uncertainly near the stone. "Why would I destroy you?" he asked, confusion etched on his face.
"If you break me," the stone explained, "the Ashta Siddhi trapped within me will be freed from Ashura's grasp. Only then can you confront and defeat him."
Yohan's thoughts raced. Destroying the stone seemed like an irreversible step, yet the opportunity to liberate powerful beings who could aid him against Ashura was undeniable.
"But how do I know this will work?" Yohan pressed, seeking reassurance.
"The bond between us is ancient," the stone replied with unwavering conviction. "Trust in the destiny that has brought us together."
Yohan took a deep breath, steeling himself for what needed to be done. With a determined nod, he gripped the stone firmly in his hand, feeling its weight and the pulsing energy within.
"I trust you," Yohan said quietly, closing his eyes as he focused his mind. With a sudden surge of resolve, he channeled his energy into a decisive blow, shattering the stone into countless fragments.
In that moment, a surge of energy burst forth, filling the air with a palpable force. Yohan felt a rush of power coursing through him, as if the very essence of the Ashta Siddhi now flowed freely around him.
As the dust settled, Yohan opened his eyes, feeling a newfound strength and purpose. The path ahead was clearer now. With the Ashta Siddhi by his side, he was ready to confront Ashura and bring an end to his reign of darkness.
