Chapter 231

However, Jalandhara completely ignored his overtures and responded coldly.

"... Permission? Invitation?"

Narada chuckled, then looked at Jalandhara with a seriousness he hadn't shown in a long time. "Asuras King, these words weren't created for me. I never need any invitations. I can freely roam the Three Worlds at any time, and everyone in the Three Worlds respects this right. But it seems your teacher Shukra, didn't teach you these things."

"This is the Kingdom of Asura, and I set the rules here."

"Only gods can set the rules, Asuras King, and all living beings in the world were created by gods."

"I'm not included in this."

Upon hearing this, Narada showed an incredulous expression and then glanced at Shukra.

So that's how it is. Shukra didn't tell Jalandhara about his origins, which means that Jalandhara obviously didn't know he was Shiva's wrath.

So that child was him back then, who would have thought... But now he's forgotten that he was born from the Wrath of the Great God, that he was born to kill the Heavenly Emperor, which means he doesn't even know why the Heavenly Emperor Indra wanted to kill him so badly...

Thinking of this, Narada smiled again:

"Homage to Narayana! It seems that you, Asuras King, possess some qualities I have never seen in any other Asura..."

Narada revealed a pleased look in his eyes.

"Perhaps it's the flame of Wrath, Ember not created by God, but by yourself, isn't it?"

The Jalandhara for a long time, neither answering nor looking directly at Narada.

Finally, Narada, laughing until his whole body trembled, uttered "Praise Narayana" and swiftly headed towards the Ocean of Milk to inform Vishnu of the Jalandhara's information—"Vishnu, a calamity powerful enough to destroy the Three Worlds is about to arrive..."

After Narada left, Jalandhara resumed his gentle smile and softly said:

"My first wish is that from this day forward, the only deities to be worshipped by the Asura are God, the Lord of the Himalayas. We must wholeheartedly praise the God of Kavia."

Chapter 298 Vishnu will not harm his followers.

"I've already seen it."

When Narada hurriedly ran back to the Ocean of Milk to inform Vishnu that the Jalandhara, the emanation of Shiva's Wrath, had become the Asuras King, Vishnu gave him a knowing look and smiled gently.

For Vishnu, he can see everything in the Three Worlds except for a few places where he cannot see with his lotus eye.

Therefore, the entire process of Shukra Jalandhara become the Asuras King, as well as Narada's dialogue with him, was clearly visible.

"Praise be to Narayana, my lord! This is not good news for Indra, the Heavenly Emperor."

Upon hearing this, a calm expression flashed in the eyes of the Lakshmi.

"My Rishi, everyone should pay the price for the Sin they have committed."

"Indra, the Heavenly Emperor, probably has no idea what he is about to encounter..."

He's already here.

Vishnu's eyes flickered, and he spoke softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a magnificent and splendid scene of the Heaven Realm instantly appeared in his lotus eyes.

The vast and boundless Heaven Realm were reflected before Vishnu's eyes at this moment. Various magnificent Temple stood tall, and more and more Gandharvas and celestial maidens, as well as Indra, the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Elephant Airavata Indra, and the Jalandhara being slowly approaching Indra, were all reflected in his eyes.

At this moment, Indra was stunned into silence by the sight of the Jalandhara spirit, who was as sculpted as Shiva. Even the Divine Elephant Airavata showed fear in his eyes and remained motionless. This was because the divinity within Airavata had realized that the Jalandhara was Shiva's wrath and thus felt awe.

Just as the Heavenly Emperor and his Mount remained motionless, Jalandhara leaped up, stepped on Airavata, and caused the Heaven Realm to tremble. Then, to Indra's astonishment, Jalandhara grabbed his neck and slowly lifted him up.

"Indra, I will not kill you, even though you ambushed me. I will defeat you honorably, not here, but on the battlefield, throughout the Three Worlds. I will banish you and all the gods in the Heaven Realm, who do nothing but possess wealth."

After saying this, Jalandhara threw Indra violently to the ground.

"Half of all the treasures the gods obtained from churning the Ocean of Milk should rightfully be returned to us."

The Asura who went to the Underworld Realm after churning the Ocean of Milk obtained only two treasures: the Uchchaihshravas and the Goddess Jyeshtha.

The first one was alright, it was a good thing, but the second one was pure Original Sin.

Jyeshtha, also Alakshmi, is the complete opposite Lakshmi Lakshmi, the Goddess of power and wealth, who brings aging, poverty, and death.

The Asura thought it was something good, but they never expected it to be like this, which made their already impoverished lives even more unbearable.

"... No, it was those unruly Asura who deceived us, which is why they lost everything. The treasures obtained from the Ocean of Milk were originally the wealth of the gods; it was the Asura's restlessness that caused them to lose all their opportunities."

"Really? Then why is that?"

Jalandhara didn't glance at Indra twice, and with each step he took, the Heavenly Emperor's Mount, Airavata, followed him.

"Ha! You think you can become Indra, the Heavenly Emperor of Gods, by deceiving Airavata? Let me tell you, I will never allow it, nor will the gods! You are merely the king of the Underworld Realm, nothing more. If you presumptuously try to approach the gods, then the Asura will once again lose their king!"

"Indra, this is not a request from me, but a warning from the Asura."

Seeing this, Vishnu gently shook his head.

"Jalandhara is the wrath of the Great God, and also its derivative; I cannot destroy it."

"Praise be to Narayana, Lord! The crisis is accelerating! All the gods have felt the tremors in the Heaven Realm and the departure of Airavata. All the gods are extremely worried."

"Narada, the gods are lawless and infamous, they have no right to possess the Airavata. Everything that Indra, the Heavenly Emperor, has suffered is what he deserves."

The reason why Lakshmi) strongly supports Jalandhara is that she now regards Jalandhara, who was also born from the sea, as her younger brother.

Seeing his Mistress's reaction, Narada could no longer speak from the perspective of the gods and instead changed the subject:

"Praise Narayana, Lord! Since this is so, why not tell the Great God?"

Since the Jalandhara is Shiva's Wrath, why not let him deal with it himself? Narada thought.

Um...

Vishnu glanced at his beloved Lakshmi, who was already standing on the side of the Jalandhara, his smile slightly freezing, but he still spoke softly.

"Great God already knew of Jalandhara's existence; he understood it from the moment he was born."

"If that's the case, then why—"

"Because it was all conveyed to him by Jia."

Upon hearing this, the Lakshmi tilted her head slightly, a look of curiosity and confusion flashing in her eyes.

Did the god Kavia ever see the Jalandhara?

"The name 'Jalandhara' was given to him by Kasyapa because of Shiva's Wrath."

Vishnu narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled as he looked at his wife.

"... I see."

"However, Jia has already gone again; let's wait for his news."

He held the hand of Lakshmi, then looked back down at the Underworld Realm, his gaze piercing through countless spaces until it landed on the Ritual celebrating the Asuras King, Jalandhara, who had stolen Indra's Airavata.

Meanwhile, in the distant Himalayas Mountains, Kavia emerged from the mountaintop.

"After being humiliated by the Jalandhara, Indra secretly sought out some Asura, promising them wealth to ambush the Jalandhara at certain times. However, he failed. Enraged, the Asura joined forces with the Jalandhara to storm the Heaven Realm and seize the throne of the Heavenly Emperor... For Indra, preserving the Heavenly Emperor was more difficult than becoming the Heavenly Emperor."

"However, Jalandhara, if you uphold the Dharma after becoming the Heavenly Emperor, perhaps... well, the Great God will only intervene when the time is right. But, Ka, why did you give Jalandhara a name?"

Vishnu blinked, watching this scene silently.

At the same time, within the Underworld Realm.

Crimson flames burned in the darkness, like the sunset glow. As the Asuras gazed at the powerful energy naturally emanating from the serene elephant Airavata, they couldn't help but cheer once again for their new Asura King, Shuichi.

Jalandhara gazed at the Asura cheering for him and the Mice sent by Kavia bustling about in the kitchen, he was suddenly caught in a strange feeling.

This is a desolate Underworld Realm, yet the Asura and the attendants of the Aspected God get along so well. This makes Jalandhara think that if the god of Kavia hadn't made him a disciple of Shukra, hadn't given him a name, hadn't allowed Number One and the others to help his mother, and hadn't allowed Vritra to protect him from Indra's ambush...

If none of these existed, perhaps Jalandhara would hate Indra and the gods even more than he does now.

Thinking about it this way, Jalandhara found it quite incredible that he was now becoming the Asuras King of the Underworld Realm, as the god Kavia had wished, and was heading towards the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

When he came to his senses, he realized that amidst the cheering Asura, seeing their smiles, Jalandhara had also unconsciously smiled.

"Asuras King."

Hearing someone call his name from behind, Jalandhara turned around and blinked.

"How--"

An Asura, wielding a weapon coated with Poison given to him by Indra, thrust it toward the chest of the Jalandhara.

Indra knew that Jalandhara was Shiva's Wrath, and therefore ordinary attacks would not kill him. So he devised a plan: to put Jalandhara into an eternal slumber, and also to wear down his mind and consciousness through his blood.

Time has stood still, not in the sense that the Underworld Realm has become a world where time seems to stand still, but in the literal sense.

The weapon coated in venom was only a finger's width away from Jalandhara; any contact would immediately allow the venom to enter Jalandhara's body, plunging him into eternal slumber.

However, this moment never came; in other words, it will never come.

In the Underworld Realm where time stands still, a pristine white staircase extends from the Underworld Realm towards the site of the celebratory Ritual.

The radiance gracefully descended upon the steps, gradually intensifying and transforming into a human form.

The world itself, the entire Underworld Realm, rejoiced at the arrival of the light.

The Fourth-Aspected God, the Lord of the Himalayas, the Perfected One of the world, Kavia.

As Kavia approached the Jalandhara, the weapon that was about to launch a successful sneak attack instantly shattered in his sight, vanishing into nothingness.

Well, Kavia, who had once saved Indra, could understand why Indra did this to eliminate the Jalandhara. For Indra, becoming the Heavenly Emperor of gods was easy, but keeping the Heavenly Emperor was extremely difficult. Therefore, he had to resort to various means to maintain his position as king of Heavenly Emperor.

Then, time began to pass. When Jalandhara and the many Asura came to their senses, Jalandhara saw Kavia, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately understood everything that had just happened. Just like when they were children, he hugged Kavia tightly.

"Kavia! You've come! I've missed you so much! Thank you so much for your help!"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Now that the Jalandhara has grown up, it feels like Kavia is embracing Shiva.

Praise be to the Lord of the Himalayas!

Upon seeing that it was Kavia who had arrived, Shukra immediately offered sincere praise.

The numerous Asura who followed closely behind also clasped their hands together and offered their praise.

Praise be to the Lord of the Himalayas!

Praise be to the Lord of the Himalayas!

Praise be to the Lord of the Himalayas!

The sounds of praise echoed continuously, reverberating throughout the Main Hall.

"I have come today because you, Jalandhara, have become the Asuras King, and I wish to present you with a gift."

The golden light shimmered, dazzling the eyes.

A small flying boat, adorned with gold and green, hovered above Kavia's palm.

This tiny flying boat looked incredibly sophisticated, adorned with red gemstones that made it sparkle and look extremely magnificent.

It looks like an aerial warship with the appearance of a golden yacht but with giant Fairy wings.

"It's alright, God Kavia, I'm already very happy that you came."

"Gift..."

Upon hearing this, Jalandhara showed no sign of being bothered, while Shukra couldn't suppress his laughter, craning his neck almost to its limit to see what it was.

Then, when Shukra finally saw clearly what Kavia was holding, he couldn't help but murmur, "That thing is..."

Vimana.

Vimana, also Vimana, is a flying machine in ancient Indian Mythology that roams the sky. It has a sturdy body like a giant bird, and is mostly made of gold and precious gems. It can rise and fall vertically, and move forward and backward at an angle. Even humans can move freely in the sky and the boundless ocean where the gods roam.

There are also related records in the two great India Narrative Poem, the Ramayana Mahabharata.

In the Nasuverse, Vimana is a radiant vessel formed from gold and Grandmother that can soar through the sky. It is a high-tech Noble Phantasm from India that uses Sun energy generated by Sun Crystal fueled by Mercury to power this technology, which is beyond the reach of later generations. It can fly at high speeds by ignoring the laws of physics.

It is equipped with various weapons, such as ancient machine guns and ancient nuclear warheads, as an interception system that will continue to operate automatically even if the pilot leaves the spaceship.

Putting aside Sukara's joy at the Vimana's immense power, even the Asuras standing nearby were almost blinded by the sheer number of jewels on the Vimana. However, they understood that it belonged to their king and could not be touched carelessly.

"This is far too extravagant, Kavia, the gift you gave me..."

Jalandhara couldn't help but speak up.

"This was mainly offered by Vritra. When she heard that I was going to give you a gift, she took out so many jewels. I didn't have that many myself. She said that you were a very good Asuras King, even better than her, and gave them to you voluntarily."

"Kavia, I thank Vritra for his generosity..."
