Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 : The Solution

"Entertain me..." Mahadev said with a smirk.

Shivansh was visibly confused by this statement. How can one entertain a being that is above all. A god that is omnipotent? Seeing the confusion on his face Mahadev explained his statement.

"I can return your original life back to you but at the cost that you will have to live another life. A life in a different realm of existence. Where the laws are different. Where the beings have a diverse variety. Whether this may be a curse or a boon it will be up to you."

"I may be omnipotent but I can always choose to see what I want or wait for it to happen naturally. Afterall I am in meditation most of the time but when the universe asked for help, I was intrigued out of my mediation." He continued

"I understand it prabhu, but how will I be able to travel such great distances? How will a 3 year old survive in foreign lands without any help?" Shivansh asked.

"Worry not Shivansh. Do not forget who I am. I have powers that are way beyond your or any mortal's comprehension. And you may have the body of a 3 year old but I do not have to remind you that you have a brain that many will fear." Mahadev smiled.

He continued, "When you sleep at night in this world, you will wake up in the other and time will nearly cease here. Same will happen when you sleep there. Of course if you are doing something important you can always control how long you stay here or there but do not over exploit the boons I give."

"I do not care what kind of life you live there, be it peaceful or chaotic. Be it happy or sad. I just want you to give your best. You in foreign lands where the rules are different. Where you will have to make decisions that may seem unlawful here. Covered with foreign powers. How will the two lives affect each other?" Mahadev said placing his hand on his temple.

"Jaisi apki agya prabhu[1]. I am ready to do this if I can gain another chance in life." Shivansh bowed down.

Mahadev explained him some details and set some ground rules.

1. He cannot try to willfully end his life in any of the worlds.

2. He will also start as a 3 year old kid there too.

3. He will keep the memories of both the worlds

"So now Shivansh, since I have explained everything to you now I will unfreeze the time. I will remove your title as a Source Of Error. Now, as a reward of successfully completing time travel you can have any one of the options that I present. These are some of your inventions that you created:

1. Ten of your most powerful robots.

2. Your Suit

3. Drink Of Immortality (This world)

4. Illness banishing pills * 100

What will you choose Shivansh?"

The four options turned into holograms and started to rotate around him. Shivansh pondered for a moment then said,

"Prabhu, I choose my suit. It was my first great invention afterall. I believe it will be of great help to me and will be my ideal choice." Shivansh said as he grabbed the hologram that showed his invention.

Mahadev waved his hand and all the options other than the suit disappeared. The option then expanded and floated in front of Shivansh. 

"I hope that you remembered the pain..." Mahadev said with mirth.

Before Shivansh could speak the hologram popped. A device like a armband and a small canine tooth floated in front of him. The armband had a huge screen and various buttons on the side. Then Mahadev's statement registered into his mind, but it was too late.

The device shot towards Shivansh's left hand and forced it's way inside. It started to cut Shivansh's hand and his attempts to remove it failed miserably. Blood started to leak and he screamed in pain. The pain got worse and worse every second and just when he thought that it could not get more worse...

His right canine milk tooth started to grow and fell down, this then happened to the permanent tooth. A gaping hope could be seen as blood gushed out. The floating canine tooth forced it's way into the hole that had been made and placed itself. The armband reached the bone and suddenly glowed.

The grievous injuries started to miraculously heal themselves at visible speeds. After a minute the arm and teeth were indistinguishable from the previous. Shivansh was a sorry sight. His lips and teeth were red from the blood. He was drenched in his tears, blood, sweat and snot. A child's pain tolerance was truly a bitch...
