Chapter 220

Tvashtar's original plan was to awaken the unconscious Kama after killing Indra, so that Kama, as the master of the weapon, could activate the power of the Arrow of Love and return to Mount Meru. After all, killing the Heavenly Emperor was something Tvashtar only dared to plan in secret, not too openly...

However, it's no longer needed, since Kavia has already arrived.

Kavia nodded in agreement, then spoke to Vritra.

"Vritra, take Kama, the Love God."

"Receive!"

Vritra straightened his body with a stiff, precise motion and used his tail to pick up the unconscious Kama.

"The loyal Vritra promises to complete the task you have given him, God of Ga!"

Chapter 289 Kama: Is that so?

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water droplets.

The sound of countless water droplets flowing down from somewhere.

Kama, sensing that it seemed to be raining outside, turned over in bed.

The sound of raindrops did not disturb Kama's sleep.

The mattress felt incredibly comfortable, and the unfamiliar blankets covering me were warm and smooth to the touch, clearly made of high-quality materials.

This is the first time I've slept so comfortably, especially on a rainy day. It felt so good.

To fall asleep soundly while listening to the rain on a rainy day is Perfection pleasure that even Love God couldn't resist.

After all, as the Love God, Kama was always very tired in order to fulfill her daily duties. It was a journey of exhaustion day after day, witnessing the love of others. Although Kama was also happy, the fatigue that could not be wiped away kept accumulating, so heavy that she unconsciously realized that continuing like this would be really tiring.

Therefore, the rare comfortable bed made Love God feel very good.

Just as Kama was enjoying this rare moment of bliss in his light sleep, suddenly, the Love God was lost in memories.

What was I doing before I went to sleep...?

He was forced to do hard labor on Mount Meru, received the Arrow of Love forged for him by the god Tvashtar, and then participated in the churning of the Ocean of Milk, a process that took nearly a thousand years. Just as he was finally able to rest after it ended, the Arrow of Love suddenly began to flicker, and out of curiosity, he took it out.

These are all of Kama's memories before he went to sleep.

In other words, I fell asleep during a grand occasion attended by all the gods?!

Oh no, this is really embarrassing!

Realizing he had done something very shameful, Kama turned over in bed once more.

Taking advantage of the moment, Love God secretly opened his eyes to see where he was, but it wasn't the Temple on Mount Meru; it was his own home...

Could it be that I've been sent back? Was it the god Tvashtar who brought me back? Did Rati change these unfamiliar, high-class bedding sets? Didn't we agree not to touch each other's things without permission...?

Kama thought about this, but he couldn't find Answer.

But regardless, this isn't a question of whether a god is good or bad, or rather, no one should sleep on such an important occasion... It must be because I'm too clumsy, so I must never do this again. I should also thank Tvashtar later.

Although it was not yet certain who had brought him back, Kama thought about it and felt that Tvashtar was the most likely candidate.

Then Love God blinked and sat up in bed. At this moment, Kama realized that not only the bedding, but even the bed itself had been changed. It had been replaced with a large bed that could fit several people, but for some reason, there was a long, bed-like thing on it, as if it were for placing something on one's body while sleeping.

Even though it was a familiar home, Kama felt a little unfamiliar because of the changed bed.

Besides, Rati, the wife of Love God, was not in the house; only the sound of dripping water outside continued to reach Kama's ears.

At this point, Kama realized that it probably wasn't raining, but rather that Rati was outside watering the flowers and plants.

Thinking of this, Kama, still feeling a tingling sensation throughout his body, stepped out the door.

Kama looked at his hands and the ground, and let out a soft sigh of white breath. Even though the Sun was almost at its zenith, the air was still icy cold, and the sunlight coming through the sky offered no warmth whatsoever.

Then Love God glanced around and saw that beneath the lush greenery of the mountains, water was slowly seeping into the soil.

A Black-Haired Girl carefully cupped water in her hands to water the lush green trees and flowers.

"Rati..."

Kama murmured softly.

"Terribly sorry..."

Kama felt that it was normal for him to fall asleep on such an important occasion, even though he had been sent back, and for other gods to laugh at him in private. Kama himself didn't care, but for Rati, it was not good.

Although the two were only pretending to be married, Kama felt that he was now Rati's 'husband' and therefore had to maintain that status.

Kama's wife, Rati, was the daughter of Daksha, and one of the sisters of Sati, Shiva's lover. Sati had previously told Shiva that her sister Rati had been forced into marriage by her father Daksha, and had run away to meet Kama, the Love God, and fallen in love at Daksha sight. They then quickly got married. Dākṣā thought that although Kama's status as the Love God was not particularly high, it was still acceptable, so he accepted the marriage.

The reason was simply that Rati, who had run away, was crying on the mountain when Kama, who was fulfilling his duty as the Love God, heard her and went to comfort her.

Since it is only the early stage of the Age of Gods, Kama is still very interested in 'love' and has not become too tired or fallen into despair due to seeing too much love... In short, he is in a state of full of enthusiasm.

Comforted by Kama, Rati immediately came up with a good idea: he would pretend to marry Kama first, and then... well, he just needed to keep it a secret from his father, Daksha.

However, after Rati told Kama this, Kama looked helpless and said:

"I'd really like to help you... but I don't even know my exact gender. I'm probably female, but for some reason, I'm a bit small, and my size hasn't changed over time, so I might look like a man..."

This news struck Rati like a bolt from the blue; she never expected her beloved Love God to be like this...

"That's all. I really wanted to help you, but it's a real shame."

"Wait!"

Just as Kama was about to leave, Rati called Kama.

"Kama, you are also a woman, which is not impossible. After all, we are not really getting married; we just need to keep it a secret from my father."

Upon hearing this, Kama scratched his head in confusion.

"But--"

Please!

"... Oh well."

And so, the two married smoothly. Since Kama did not have much contact with the gods of Mount Meru, Tvashtar, who was most likely to come, was also too Sorrow because his child had been killed by Indra to come.

As for Rati's father Daksha, he didn't pay much attention to Kama, an ordinary god, and only met him once.

So the two didn't even plan a fake wedding; they simply planted some trees and flowers and considered it their wedding.

As for the place of residence, since it is a god, it is quite simple to build another one. As for whether someone will suddenly visit?

In Kama's view, it was completely impossible.

But at this moment, Kama, belatedly realizing the situation, became somewhat flustered.

This is terrible! Will Tvashtar, the god who sent me here, discover that Rati and I actually live in two separate rooms...?

Just as Kama was panicking, Rati, who was watering the plants, tilted his head slightly, as if he had noticed her.

"Hmm? Kama, you're awake. How were you? Did you sleep well?"

Rati looked very happy.

This eliminated the possibility that the marriage was a sham, and Kama smiled.

"It feels so good, I haven't felt this good in ages."

"That's good. I've already drunk my share of the Amrita sent by the gods. Kama, your share is in the cupboard in your room. Remember to drink it."

"I know... eh?"

Kama was about to nod when he noticed the problem in Rati's words, "The Amrita... we obtained it?"

In Kama's memory before he fell into a deep sleep, all the gods appeared on the Asura's side because of the Amrita. They were all ashen-faced, as if they were about to die. Kama understood this, because without the Amrita, the Devas, who were cursed by the Rishi, would have almost died along with Indra, the Heavenly Emperor of the gods.

"Yes, Kama, don't you know?"

Rati shrugged. "It's said that Vishnu transformed into a Goddess Mohini Mosini, who was incredibly beautiful and attracted the attention of the Asura. Then the gods seized the opportunity to take the Amrita. In the subsequent battle, the Heavenly Emperor led the Asura to be driven directly into the Underworld Realm. It's truly remarkable that after so many years, the war is finally over."

Kama then heard the rest of the story from Rati.

There was actually a little incident during Mohini' attraction of the Asura. An Asura named Rahu discovered that Deva was about to obtain the Amrita. Perhaps driven by selfishness, he did not make a fuss, but instead transformed into a god and mingled among them, seeking only to get his share of the "Amrita" and attain "eternal life."

But all that Rahu had done was discovered by Surya, the Sun God, and Chandra, the Moon Goddess. They reported this to Vishnu immediately shot out the Sudarshana Chakra, which cut off Rahu's head and arms.

But at this moment, the "Amrita" that Rahu had drunk had reached his throat. He roared and his head was separated from his body. His body rose into the sky and transformed into Ketu ominous Comet, while his head gained immortality.

Therefore, Rahu hated the Sun God Moon Goddess to the core, relentlessly chasing the sun and moon, and constantly devouring them. Because he had no body, the sun and moon that he swallowed would leak out from his throat, thus creating the solar and lunar eclipses in Indian Mythology.

"I didn't realize Vishnu was... so powerful."

Although somewhat surprised, Kama suppressed his surprise and continued speaking.

"In that case, I'll go and thank God Tvashtar later."

"Kama, why did you go to thank the god Tvashtar?"

Rati tilted his head in confusion, while Kama pointed to himself.

"Because wasn't I brought back by the god Tvashtar while I was unconscious...?"

Hehehe.

Rati suddenly laughed, which puzzled Kama.

Then, the words that came out of Rati's mouth the next instant sent a chill down Kama's spine—

"It was actually Vritra who brought you back, Kama; that blond-haired Asuras King."

"... What?!"

Kama couldn't help but tremble all over.

The one who brought me back was Vritra? That Asuras King? How could that be? Didn't Rati say the Asura had already lost? How could Vritra still be alive? If he is, will the gods label me, who was helped by her, as someone who secretly colluded with the Asura? What am I going to do...?

Perhaps it was the exquisite change in Kama's expression that made Rati unable to help but smile again and wave his hand.

"Kama, you don't need to worry. Vritra is now a follower of the goddess Kavia and is no longer the Asuras King. Besides, she personally changed Kama bed and bedding, and even muttered, 'If it weren't for the need to complete Gavia's first task properly, she wouldn't have been willing to let you use what she has kept hidden for so many years.' It's probably Kavia who sent Vritra to bring you back."

Well, Kama could understand each word Rati said individually, but putting them together was a bit confusing.

Wasn't he unconscious before Vishnu's avatar, Mohini?

It's possible that Vritra only became Kavia's attendant after the defeat... but it's also possible that after everything was over, Kavia had Vritra escort him back...

This leads to a question that has been troubling Kama, namely—

As one of the Aspected God, did Kavia really need to have Vritra send him back?

Why not just let Indra, the Heavenly Emperor, randomly assign any god...?

Despite his many doubts, Kama cleared them away and asked Rati a question:

"Now that Vritra has been taken in as a follower by Kavia, shouldn't he also have a fixed place to live with Vishnu? Do you know that, Rati?"

"Hmm... it seems to be from the Himalayas Mountains."

"I see."

Kama nodded, and then flew towards the Himalayas Mountains.

Rati glanced at Kama's departing figure, then continued watering the flowers. A few minutes later, she suddenly remembered something and shouted into the air:

"Kama, Vritra said to remember to bring her things back after you wake up. She didn't give them to you; Kama just wanted you to experience them..."

However, this sound should not have reached Kama's ears.

In the India World, India vast snow-capped Snow Mountain are regarded as Divinity spaces, leading to a supernatural imagination of the Snow Mountain, namely, Snow Mountain worship.

People believe that Snow Mountain are a cool and sacred place free from the heat, a place where miraculous herbs that cure diseases and improve the quality of life thrive, a place where dragon kings and auspicious beasts dwell, and a sacred place for immortals, Buddhas, ghosts and gods to cultivate.

The Himalayas Mountains, as the most famous Snow Mountain -capped mountains, hold an extremely high significance in the India World. In Indian Mythology, their proximity to the sky and stars is considered a privilege and symbol of the gods, further enhancing the Divinity of the Himalayas Mountains.

Take Shiva as an example. Although he was currently practicing asceticism in the Forest, he was later sent to practice asceticism on Mount Kailash in the Himalayas. In this sense, the Himalayas Mountains also have the significance of being the place where God grew up.

At this very moment, atop the Himalayas Mountains, above endless snow-capped Snow Mountain, glaciers, and towering peaks.

Vritra, who had taken human form to guard the Great Gate of Kavia, stood with his arms crossed, coldly watching Kama who had come to express his gratitude:

"Without the command of the God of Ga, I will not allow you to enter."

Well, if Kama had encountered Vritra before, Kama would have been trembling with fear. But now that he knows Vritra has become a follower of the god Kavia, Kama is no longer afraid. After all, he hasn't done anything wrong, and Vritra wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
