Chapter 232

Jalandhara paused, then continued, "However, I beg you, God Kavia, to retract this. The Crowd of the Underworld Realm, the Asura, have yet to acquire any wealth, and the treasures you bestowed upon me will become Root of discrimination and prejudice. This is unjust; one side returns laden with riches, while the other receives nothing."

Having said that, Jalandhara carefully placed Vimana back into Kavia's hands under the gaze of the heartbroken Shukra, while taking out a well-preserved Veena from his pocket, which showed signs of age, and continued to speak with a smile.

"I have the Veena you once gave me, and that's enough."

"Alright then."

Kavia was not displeased by the Jalandhara's refusal; he simply withdrew Vimana as he had instructed.

"By the way, since that's the case, I'll offer a hymn of praise to God Kavia, just as I did long ago in the Forest. Since you're the only one here today, please wait a moment, God Kavia, while I let the Number One— "

Kavia shook his head at the invitation of the Jalandhara.

"You were almost injured just now, you should rest for a bit."

"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine, and isn't everything alright thanks to the help of the god Kavia?"

"If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have been injured, Jalandhara?"

"That assumption is invalid, because you Kavia, have already come and helped."

Jalandhara gazed at Kavia with a determined look.

"That's true, but even if I didn't come, someone else would have come to help you."

Kavia turned to look at the Asura, "Right, Virochana?"

"Fear, fear, God Kavia."

Suddenly called upon by Kavia, the Asura Physician girl named Virochana walked over tremblingly.

Indeed, as Kavia said, if he hadn't come, it would have been Virochana, who helped the injured Jalandhara recover from his injuries, who was also Jalandhara's Future wife.

Moreover, Kavia also saw that when Jalandhara was about to be injured, Virochana was the fastest among all the people.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be here too. Those who believe in Vishnu are not welcome here."

When Jalandhara heard the name from Kavia's mouth and turned around to see Virochana clearly, his smile vanished instantly.

"Uh, oh..."

Normally, if Jalandhara -Jalandhara said something like that, Virochana would have silenced him with her words. But right now, with Kavia present, she couldn't say anything. Virochana Asura, Vishnu and Kavia as her Aspected God.

The reason why the two had such a close relationship was probably just a coincidence. As a physician, Virochana often collected herbs in various Underworld Realm, and the Mice who followed Jalandhara also collected food in various places. Because they saw each other so often, they became familiar with each other and even became friends with Jalandhara under his guidance.

However, Jalandhara would often make sarcastic remarks about Virochana's faith in Vishnu.

"Jalandhara, how can you speak to Virochana like that? Vishnu is her god."

After speaking, Kavia led the two into a private room, leaving the other Asura to enjoy the celebration.

"I have already forbidden Asura from worshipping other Deity; Asura can only believe in you, God Kavia."

"But who they choose to worship is the freedom of all Asura. They have the right to do so and the right to choose. Faith comes from the heart, and these things will not change because of rules. Whether they worship me or Vishnu, there is no distinction between gods and Asura; they are simply believers."

Seeing the Jalandhara so humiliated by Kavia's words, and witnessing the usually stubborn Jalandhara's utter discomfiture, Virochana couldn't help but smile inwardly. Immediately after Kavia finished speaking, he said:

"Moreover, Vishnu will not betray his followers; he always protects them. I worship not only Vishnu but also Kavia."

"... really."

Kavia glanced at Virochana, then continued, "Jalandhara, who can be revered, who can be deeply believed in, who is Supreme Being, who should be Faith, and who should not..."

He stared into Jalandhara's eyes and continued, enunciating each word clearly, "You should not interfere with Virochana's freedom of thought, nor should you question other people's Faith."

Seeing this, Jalandhara lowered his head and whispered, "I understand..."

Wow.

Perhaps it was hard to imagine that the usually tough and assertive Jalandhara would show this side of himself, which made Virochana exclaim in surprise.

"... Virochana, what are you making?"

Attracted by Virochana's voice, Jalandhara immediately raised his head and looked at Virochana.

"Um, I probably ate too much. Sorry."

"... Speaking of which, didn't I tell you not to come? As a doctor, it's not surprising if you die on the battlefield."

"What are you saying? Can't I do whatever I want? Who do you think you are and what right do you have to tell me what to do? I'm just trying to prevent you from getting beaten to death and having to pitifully seek treatment from others. Consider it my kindness in not wanting to see the good child that Number One and the others raised suffer."

If you're really dead, don't say you knew me.

Watching the two bicker, Kavia, who already knew about their situation from the Mice, smiled slightly.

Jalandhara has already become the Asuras King, and is only one step away from becoming the Heavenly Emperor.

Kavia thought to herself.

The return of the Jalandhara to Shiva is a predetermined Lila, and Kavia only hopes that his return will be joyful, not Sorrow.

Chapter 299: The Enraged Encounter with the True Form.

In the Heaven Realm, Divinity golden light shone in all directions.

Under Indra's leadership, the gods gathered together, standing sideways with their heads held high and chests puffed out, exuding a powerful and terrifying aura. They all stared intently, their expressions ranging from wary to angry to displeased, as they gazed at Asura King Shuichi, who had appeared opposite them and was leading his army of Asuras.

The gods already knew of the existence of Jalandhara, the Asuras King, after Indra was ambushed by him and lost Airavata.

"Asuras King, you must Airavata back!"

Surya, the Sun God, roared as his eyes burned with Wrath fire, his Tapa hanging askew, and his golden armor gleaming with intense light.

Jalandhara snorted coldly at this, and instantly the sky of the Heaven Realm was a mix of red and black, with rumbling thunder and blood-red lightning, as if the end of the world had arrived, terrifying beyond measure.

"Superior!"

Indra directed the way.

His voice resounded and echoed among the heavenly army.

In an instant, the Gandharva army of the Heaven Realm launched a charge, and the Asura also charged out, like two primordial beasts colliding together.

Boom!

The two armies clashed.

Led by Indra, the Eight Guardian Gods, including the Wind God Vayu, the Fire God Agni, and the Water God Varuna, also rushed towards the Jalandhara.

Rumble!

Dark clouds gathered, lightning bolts struck, towering waves rolled endlessly, and boundless Gale arose, giving birth to scorching flames that burned all living beings.

This is another war Deva and the Asura. However, the Deva did not win as decisively as before. Instead, Deva suffered heavy casualties compared to the Asura. However, both sides have the ability to resurrect, so the battle became a stalemate.

The Sage of Venus Shukra used his "Sanjivani Mantra" to resurrect the Asura Warrior, the Sage of the Sacrifices used herbs from Dronagiri Mountain to revive the fallen gods, and Shukra, the Asura mentor who was already accustomed to the situation, devised a plan—

One day, he had Jalandhara flood the mountain, so that the Sage of the Sacrifices could no longer resurrect the gods.

Upon hearing this news, the gods' morale plummeted, so Indra hurriedly sought help from Vishnu, who resided in the Ocean of Milk.

Ocean of Milk.

"Speak, Heavenly Emperor, what is it?"

Vishnu looked at Indra, who was approaching, and said...

"Lord, the Jalandhara are the wrath of the Great God, yet the Great God have not yet joined the war. Presumably, the Great God will only intervene at the opportune moment."

Indra paused, "But we all know that if we don't stop Jalandhara immediately, the gods will surely be utterly defeated. It's very likely that Jalandhara and the Asura will have already defeated all the gods before that happens, and we know perfectly well what will happen afterward."

He clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with hope, and continued speaking.

"Lord, only you can help us, Lord."

"I."

Vishnu smiled as always. "What can I do, Heavenly Emperor?"

"Lord, just as the Jalandhara is Shiva's wrath, you also possess the Sudarshana Chakra. You can kill him with the Sudarshana Chakra..."

Indra clasped his hands together again, "Please forgive me, my Lord. I know that the gods are implicated by my sins, but what's done is done. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't change it. My Lord, protecting the gods is your duty. Please fulfill your duty. The only thing that can Sudarshana Chakra."

"No."

As Indra asked Vishnu for help, Lakshmi interrupted him.

"I will not let this happen. Jalandhara was born from the sea, so Jalandhara is my brother and husband."

Lakshmi continued, "You cannot kill him with the Wheel Vishnu Sudarshana Chakra, and it would also be bad for Kavia."

Upon hearing Lakshmi's words, Indra frowned slightly. Jalandhara was already involved with three Aspected God.

Lakshmi then looked at Indra was frowning:

"Moreover, whatever difficulties the gods may encounter in this battle, it is not the fault of the Jalandhara Heavenly Emperor. This is a war of Revenge. In the past, you have repeatedly prayed for forgiveness from Brahma, Narayana, Great God, or Kavia after making mistakes, but this time you can only reap what you sow."

Indra was speechless, unsure how to answer, and could only look at Vishnu again:

"... But Narayana, the Jalandhara too powerful. Neither I nor the gods can stop him. If even you, my Lord, do not help me, how can I defeat him—"

"No, Heavenly Emperor, I cannot help you."

Vishnu answered affirmatively, and then Lakshmi Vishnu, continued speaking.

"I would never kill my beloved's brother, absolutely not. Besides, he was Revenge a sneak attack. I thank you for reminding me of my duty, Heavenly Emperor."

Seeing this, Indra could only leave helplessly.

Then, without Vishnu's help and with their morale already low, the gods were undoubtedly defeated again by the Asura led by Jalandhara. Indra had no choice but to flee, while Jalandhara, the Asuras King, smoothly became the Lord of the Three Worlds, the new Heavenly Emperor.

Although the gods learned about Jalandhara's character from the Asura, they witnessed his behavior towards Indra on the battlefield. No god could imagine how Jalandhara would treat other gods afterward.

In the Heaven Realm, which had just experienced a great battle, numerous divine lamps and crystals were arranged, forming rows of light that illuminated the entire Heaven Realm.

This is Ritual to welcome the new Heavenly Emperor. The reason for this atmosphere is that the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor will bring endless prosperity and happiness.

Well, this wasn't the first time the Devas had witnessed such behavior, so they were used to it.

However, at this moment, Jalandhara has not yet led the Asura to reside in the Heaven Realm; he is currently in the Underworld Realm holding a wedding ceremony with Virochana.

At the final moment of the great battle with Deva, during the decisive battle with Indra, Jalandhara, who had successfully defeated Indra, unexpectedly felt the flame within his body. Jalandhara felt strange, because this power had been controlled after being guided by Shukra, but for some reason it made his whole body hot again, as if he were being burned by fire.

Just then, Virochana, who had been following Jalandhara as his physician, grasped Jalandhara's hand faster than any of the Asura...

The moment her hand was grasped, Jalandhara regained her composure.

Later, persuaded by Shukra, the Mice who had been with him for a long time, and his mother, he married Virochana.

In a desolate Underworld Realm, in a bustling arena illuminated by fire like a setting sun, countless cheers surged like endless waves.

The air was filled with the unique fragrance of flowers found nowhere else in the Underworld Realm, and within it was the joy of the Underworld Realm Asura for their Asuras King.

"Um, Number One, didn't the god Kavia come?"

The Jalandhara wearing a flower wreath asked the Number One of the Mice cooking in the kitchen.

"Ah, even if you ask us, Jalandhara, we have no way of knowing whether the Master has come or not."

While stir-frying the vegetables, Number One instructed the other mice.

"... I see."

"It's alright, it's alright. I believe that God Kavia will be watching over us along with Narayana, after all, we are their followers."

Virochana comforted the Jalandhara.

"... I don't believe in Vishnu."

"Even though the god Kavia said those things to you, you're still so stubborn..."

Faced with the still stubborn Jalandhara, Virochana could only pout and retort in this way.

"Hmph, that's natural. I have already become the Lord of the Three Worlds, and afterwards I will appoint a god to govern the Three Worlds, namely the Lord of the Himalayas."

"I think you, Jalandhara, haven't listened to a word of Kavia."

"Does that mean I, as the Heavenly Emperor, am not even granted this simple privilege?"

"Honestly, I can't be bothered to talk to you."

Just as the two were talking, an inappropriate voice came from the void, followed by a figure.
