Chapter 221

"Vritra, you've become like this... it's quite strange."

"What's so subtle about it? I'm now a follower of the God of Ga, isn't that great?"

"Indeed..."

"By the way, Love God, when are you going to return my things?"

"Oh, so I have to pay it back?"

Love God looked at Vritra with a surprised expression.

"Nonsense, what else? Do you think we're that close? Giving you something I've kept hidden for so many years is for the God of Ga!"

Vritra, troubled, crossed his arms.

After Kavia made the summit of the Himalayas Mountains his dwelling place, Vritra, who was the 'Great Gate,' naturally followed suit.

When Vritra saw Kavia's dwelling clearly, he realized that Kavia was Ascetics comparable to Shiva, meaning that he had no house on the summit of the Himalayas Mountains. In other words, it was as if he was pointing to a place with nothing and saying that he would live there from now on, experiencing the cold asceticism in the Snow Mountain.

Although this level of comfort wouldn't be a problem for Vritra and Kavia, Vritra still felt that since he was now Gavia's personal attendant, it was only right that he should make sure his master lived a little better.

As for the Asura, although Vritra didn't really want to pay attention to them anymore, he still glanced at them a little, perhaps because he was, after all, the first Asuras King.

The Asura, who failed in churning the Ocean of Milk, were relentlessly pursued by the Devas led by Indra. They eventually reached a vast ocean beyond Indra's reach and hid there. Then, at the request of the gods, the Agastya stepped forward.

The Agastya is one of the most powerful Rishi in India, and in India astronomy and astrology, he represents the Antarctica star Canopus.

Speaking of which, he had a similar practice to Brahma, which was to create a lover. The Agastya once selected the most exquisite parts of various animals to create a baby girl named "Lopamudra". He then gave Lopamudra to Vidarbha to raise. When Lopamudra grew up, the Agastya married her, and Lopamudra was pregnant for a full seven years.

At the urging of the gods, the Agastya came to the seashore and drank all the water in the ocean, exposing the Asura hiding in the sea, whom he eventually destroyed.

Those Asura managed to escape had no choice but to accept their fate and go to live in the desolate, uninhabited Underworld Realm.

That was all that could be said Vritra already knew this after learning of the failed attempt to seize the Amrita, so he simply sighed and didn't think about it any further.

"Okay, I'll go back and return those things right away."

In reality, Kama wasn't particularly attached to those things. Although they were indeed very comfortable, they weren't truly his own, and Vritra was right.

Perhaps surprised by Kama's unrefutable response, or perhaps his previous words were merely a ploy to toy with Love God, in any case, just as Kama was about to fly back, the Od emanating from Vritra forcibly pulled him back.

"Forget it, don't take it. Consider it a free gift from me to complete the task assigned by the God of Ga."

"Thank you so much..."

Kama was not alarmed and continued to ask calmly, "Vritra, why did the god Kavia give you a task concerning me, 'Kama'?"

"I have no idea."

Vritra waved his hand somewhat irritably, "Anyway, don't overthink it. Gadgetzan just asked me to deliver it to you on a whim."

I can't exactly say that Tvashtar and I tried to kill Indra, who couldn't use weapons, using the coordinates of your Arrow of Love, and were taught a lesson by Kasyapa. If I said that, how could my majesty as Kasyapa's follower, the eternal and indestructible demon, compare to that of Vishnu's Shesha, the king of a thousand serpents? I can't embarrass Kasyapa.

This is what the first Asuras King thought.

"... I see."

Given Vritra's refusal and the fact that it seemed to be the best explanation, Kama did not dwell on it further.

"Vritra convey my gratitude to the god Kavia for me later. Kama am extremely grateful for Kavia's help. If you have any requests in the future, please do not hesitate to tell Kama I will do my best to fulfill them in order to repay this kindness."

It might seem a bit much to say all this just for taking someone home, but in reality, besides being polite remarks, the main reason was that Kavia was Aspected God, and his status was extremely high. Therefore, Kama thought it was normal for him to say such things.

Immediately after Kama finished speaking, he saw the usually indifferent Vritra smile, and his tail moved extremely fast, as if he had become a different species.

"What's wrong..."

Kama blinked his crimson eyes, but then understood everything from Vritra's next words.

"God of Ga, you're back!"

Kavia, who had just bid farewell to the other three Aspected God —the ones who had organized the gathering for the Three Aspects ministers and their wives to meet each other—nodded.

Now that his identity had been confirmed, Kama did not hesitate and immediately turned around and lowered his head.

"Kama, the Love God, has seen Kavia, the god of love."

Perhaps because of his panic, Kama's voice changed slightly.

"I have heard your thanks, Love God, and I accept them..."

As Kavia passed Kama, who was bowing his head, he paused for a moment as if pondering or listening to a distant sound, before finally nodding again.

"You're amazing as Love God, you've done a great job, keep it up!"

When Kama heard this and looked up to see Kavia, he could only see his back. He couldn't even catch up with him because he was intercepted by Vritra.

All that could be seen was Kavia's silver hair, seemingly blending into the snow-white Himalayas Mountains, her profile, a face from a hazy memory, and her blue eyes...

A beautiful voice, saying that cheerfully.

A beautiful face, speaking so gently.

She seemed to be smiling all the time.

Like countless flowers blooming in the Universe, like countless stars twinkling in the night sky.

"Kavia told me to keep going... because I Kama, am working very hard as the Love God, is that right?"

Although for Kama--

Rather than flowers and stars, it seems more like the embodiment of something that is as numerous as Stars throughout the Universe.

Chapter 290 The Great Crisis in India Caused by Indra.

As the saying goes, things reach their extremes and then reverse. After the Asura were mostly wiped out by the Devas and their remaining forces were forced to go to the Underworld Realm, just as the gods were joyfully looking forward to the future, a violent tremor, as if turning the world upside down, suddenly occurred, causing a shock to Mount Meru that was even more terrifying than the churning of the Ocean of Milk in the past.

The gods were quite puzzled, so they searched together for the source of the tremor and eventually discovered that it was caused by the earth being lifted into the ocean of Universe.

When the greatly shocked Deva arrived at the Universe ocean in an attempt to bring the earth back, he discovered that the earth's condition was not due to any accident, but rather to human error, or more precisely, the calamity of the Asura.

Standing on the Universe ocean, the two Asura, with their towering figures, gazed upon the approaching India gods. Faced with a vastly superior number of gods, these two Asura displayed even Vritra before them. All the gods were defeated, while Indra, as the Heavenly Emperor, was the one who was most severely beaten.

Only afterwards did the gods learn that the two Asura were named Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu.

The gods, utterly defeated, had no choice but to acknowledge one of the Demon King, Hiranyakashipu, as the Heavenly Emperor. The other Demon King, Hiranyaksha, however, did not enter the Heaven Realm because he still needed to drag the earth into the Universe ocean.

In fact, Vishnu and Kavia, two of the Four-Aspected Gods, were aware of this unexpected calamity.

The Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha were originally guards of Vishnu, but one day, four Rishi came to visit Vishnu. The two brothers stopped them at the gate, and in anger, they cursed the two Rishi, saying they would be banished to the mortal realm. The brothers went to Vishnu to plead for them. Vishnu said that the curses of these great sages could not be lifted, but he gave them two choices:

First, one is reborn seven times on earth as one's own believer; second, one is reborn three times on earth as one's own enemy.

Unable to imagine being separated from Vishnu for so long, the two chose to become Vishnu's enemies so they could end their reincarnations quickly and return to their master. As a result, they were reborn as two Asura, namely, Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha.

Vishnu knew because it was originally his own place, while Kavia knew because Vishnu had told him, and of course, he also remembered it beforehand.

Seeing the calamities brought to the world by the Asura incarnated by the two brothers, Vishnu naturally took action.

The first task was to deal with the Hiranyaksha, Garuda, who had lifted the earth into the ocean of Universe. Vishnu then transformed into his third avatar Varaha, and raised the sunken earth from the sea, killing Demon King.

As for the other Demon King, Hiranyakashipu, that's a bit more troublesome, because he once prayed to Brahma for blessings through ascetic practices.

"My Lord, grant me no harm from the creatures you have created. Grant me no death in or outside any house, by day or by night, in the sky or on the earth. Grant me no death from any creatures other than those you have created, that weapons may not wound me, nor may humans or beasts destroy me."

Grant me immortality from all existence and non-existence, and grant me immunity from the deaths of any god or demon. The serpents of the lower realms cannot harm me, and no one can harm you on the battlefield. Therefore you are invincible, and thus I am also granted unparalleled power.

Grant me the sole Lord of existence, ruler over all gods; grant me the equal glory befitting this identity; grant me the incredible power and the Yoga of action gained through asceticism, which I must never lose.

Relying on this unbreakable blessing, the Hiranyakashipu was invincible. As a result, he became Pride, lawless, and even drove Indra out of the heavenly palace, becoming the Heavenly Emperor of the gods himself. However, the Hiranyakashipu's son Prahlada, was completely different from the Hiranyakashipu; he believed in Vishnu.

Hiranyakashipu initially tried to dissuade him, but later became angry that he wouldn't listen and wanted to Prahlada to death.

He released venomous snakes, and a herd of elephants attacked his son. He had people chant spells, Poison, sink him into the ocean, and suppress him with rocks. Later, he even ordered his sister, Holika, to sit in a fire with the child in her arms. Holika turned to ashes, but Prahlada miraculously survived.

None of these things could harm Prahlada, because he was protected by Vishnu. After experiencing various events, Prahlada and begged Vishnu to kill his father to eliminate the threat. Vishnu naturally agreed, and it was something he had been planning to do for a long time.

One Twilight, Hiranyakashipu Prahlada, asserting that the Vishnu Prahlada believed in was not omnipresent, at least not inside this pillar, and contemptuously struck the pillar with his sword.

At that moment, Vishnu into his fifth avatar Narasimha, and emerged from the pillar, tearing the Demon King's Hiranyakashipu apart with his Claws.

Thus, the two great Demon King posed a threat to the world were eliminated.

Indra regained his throne as the Heavenly Emperor, but Indra may have been somewhat obsessed by this event. Originally, Indra had been worried about losing his Heavenly Emperor and had killed Tvashtar's child. After being rescued by Kavia on that day, he even had the thought of 'maybe I should just give up the throne'.

As a result of the two Demon Kings' actions, Indra inexplicably developed the extreme idea that "the Heavenly Emperor must be mine," and thus set his sights on all those who practiced asceticism in the world. In Indra's view, since the Hiranyakashipu became so powerful through asceticism, why not just kill these people before they succeeded in their asceticism?

Based on this idea, Indra discovered a Rishi practicing asceticism and killed him without hesitation.

Indra acted impulsively, but the consequences were enough to destroy the India World.

One of the most powerful beings in Indian Mythology is about to be born.

Jalandhara.

Shiva, being Ascetics, saw that Indra dared to do such a thing, so he wanted to teach Indra a lesson. He transformed into an ascetic and blocked Indra's path. However, the incorrigible Indra still made a lot of boastful remarks to Shiva, saying that he had drunk the Amrita and was now invincible and immortal as the Heavenly Emperor.

Shiva was naturally furious. He opened his third eye, no longer intending to punish Indra, but instead planned to burn him alive. However, the priests and chief priests of the gods were with Indra, desperately apologizing to Shiva. Indra also quickly said that he would change his ways, and only then did Shiva calm down and throw his anger into the sea.

The wrath of the god of destruction transformed into a Baby upon contact with the sea, which was found by the sea god Varuna. Just then, Mermaid on the shore, but the eggs were accidentally crushed by the passing sea god Varuna. The Mermaid was very sad, Varuna took the opportunity to entrust the child he had just received to the Mermaid to raise.

"What an adorable child..."

The Mermaid, suppressing her grief, gently touched the face of the Baby in her arms.

She naturally hated the sea god Varuna had accidentally killed her unborn child, but she couldn't bring herself to feel any disgust for the strange child in her arms.

Perhaps it was due to a mother's instinct.

"If my child could be born like you, they would surely be incredibly cute..."

The Mermaid wiped away her tears, smiled at the sleeping child in her arms, and said, "But from today onwards, you are my child. What should I call you...?"

Let's call him Jalandhara.

Just as the Mermaid was gently stroking the child in her arms, a voice came from one side of the sea.

She turned her head and saw a silver-haired youth appearing in the seawater, amidst the rising and falling waves, as if he were in an eternal world.

"... Huh?"

The Mermaid mother blushed slightly as she looked into those eyes, which were as blue as the ocean.

"It takes shape in the sea, hence it is Jalandhara."

"That's not the issue, it just sounds nice..."

The Mermaid stared at Kavia, somewhat bewildered, and asked curiously, "Which Aspected God are you?"

The Mermaid's aura, far surpassing that of Varuna, the sea god, told her that she was definitely one of the Aspected God. However, she was just a small Mermaid, so she had no chance to go to Mount Meru to meet Vishnu and Brahma, who were on the mountain. As for Kavia and Shiva, who were practicing asceticism, she was even less likely to visit them.

"Kavia."

Kavia didn't hesitate and immediately stated his name.

"Ah, so it's Kavia, I see."

The Mermaid nodded repeatedly, "I'll tell Jalandhara later that his name was personally given to him by the Aspected God Kavia, hehehe."

"Jalandhara."

Seeing the Mermaid's expression, Kavia smiled and nodded before leaving.

The reason why Kavia appeared before Jalandhara, who should have been dealt with by Shiva himself, and was given this name, is because Jalandhara appeared too early.

Logically speaking, Jalandhara should have appeared after Sati was reincarnated as the Parvati and after Shiva gave birth to Skanda and Ganesha. However, Jalandhara's lover cursed Vishnu, who caused his wife's suicide, and he would inevitably drive his wife away and separate from her in the future. This led to the story of Rama and Sita.

Based on all these factors, it is reasonable to conclude that the birth of Jalandhara should have occurred before Rama, Vishnu's Seventh Avatar, and after Parashurama's Sixth Avatar.

But for some reason, even though Sati had not yet been insulted by her father Daksha and thus performed the Dance of Yoga to immolate Shiva, Parvati had not yet appeared, and even Vishnu had only recently completed his fourth incarnation, how could Jalandhara have been born prematurely?

Kavia thought about it again and again but couldn't quite figure out why this was happening, but felt it might be due to her own actions, so she arrived here early to name the Jalandhara.

After all, if the Jalandhara is not handled properly, the rules of the Aspected God in the India World could really be broken. Don't think that the Jalandhara is just an incarnation of Shiva's Wrath. His actual strength is almost the same as Shiva's. Later, he even became the Asuras King, one of the most powerful Asura, and even gained the loyalty of some Rishi.

Those were Rishi! Even Indra himself struggled to gain Rishi loyalty. Jalandhara, however, won them over with his personal charm. Of course, Shiva's influence cannot be ruled out. Furthermore, Jalandhara, as king, ruled the Asura justice and civilization, a group known for their cunning, treachery, and ruthlessness, and this approach proved quite effective...

Based on all these signs, Kavia felt it necessary to pay close attention to the possibility that this might kill Shiva and replace him as the Jalandhara.

Chapter 291 Praise to Kavia.

Recently, Kama has been very diligent.

Therefore, the Earth, one of the Three Worlds, is filled with the presence of this Love God of love at all times.
