Chapter 337

"Speaking of which, Parvati, you are Kama's child, so don't you know what your mother wants to do?"

Even if you ask me that, Miss Yuan, I still don't know...

Parvati's expression became somewhat subtle. "Although Mom has always been strictly controlled by my mother, if it weren't for her suddenly... Sigh, it's so troublesome. If only Father could have appeared, everything wouldn't have been so complicated."

"Then why not summon Parvati's father?"

Ritsuka asked, puzzled.

Since summoning this person is the optimal solution, why not take that step first? Or strive towards that approach?

"Because the father was unconscious."

Parvati waved her hand helplessly, "Our India Deity is quite unique. Anyway, after I became Parvati from Sati, I understood that the Himalayas Mountains, who protect me, are my father. And my mother and mother felt the same way; they naturally knew that 'he is my lover.'"

"In that case, is it really possible to develop feelings for someone who has no will and no response?"

After a long silence, Aria asked.

"You can't say that. The feelings between Father and Mother, and Mother's feelings, are real."

Parvati frowned, a rare occurrence for her. "Though it may be hard to imagine, I and everyone in India firmly believe that anyone who dares to speak recklessly will be taught a lesson by us India."

"Alright, let's continue. According to the academy, once we pass the next level, we can face Kama directly."

At the end of the discussion, Novia, having collected the search warrants for the 'Eighth Shogun' and the 'Second Shogun' and handed them to Ritsuka, said this, which led everyone to follow her into the next level—

Kama, who should have been at the deepest part of the Fourth Layer, where 'Theft is forbidden,' was leisurely flipping through a book in the very first part of the Labyrinth.

"Mother!"

I told you not to call me that.

Kama casually put the book away.

"It's your prerogative to be sulky, Mother, Kama. But now that I've seen you, I won't let you go."

"You mean you're not interested in my feelings and situation? Ah~ As expected of the Great Goddess Parvati, marrying Shiva is quite impressive~"

Kama waved his hand casually. "By the way, the reason I'm here is also to confirm some situations that can't be ignored, as part of the Construction Contractor. Ah, you guys really solved it, huh? This was something I prepared with great effort."

"What's the meaning?"

"Since you have solved the riddles and the path, there is no longer any need for this level to exist."

"Because of me, Dean."

Kisshouin, hands on his hips, proudly declared, "Because I helped Lord Novia commit Theft, Breaking the Vows."

Actually, it was just that when Kisshouin was holding Novia from behind, he accidentally dropped the key hanging on his waist onto Novia.

"I never expected someone with your personality to call someone 'sir' or anything like that. The name Novia... it really has a rather strange feel to it..."

"Let's put this topic aside for now, Mom."

Parvati took a deep breath, picked up her Trident, and pointed it at Kama. "What exactly is the purpose of making us break the five Buddhism Five Vows?"

"It's actually very simple, Parvati, you don't need to overthink it."

Suddenly, Kama smiled broadly, "Because this is the Shogun's harem, the Ooku, I only hope that you can feel comfortable before you die."

Then, Kama narrowed his eyes, as if to make sure everyone present remembered it.

The reason it corresponds to the Five Vows is simply because it is simple and easy to understand; the more strictly something is prohibited, the stronger the retribution for breaking it will be.

"Well, so what I originally did wasn't bound by this framework, but rather I was much freer. I would reach out for any pleasure, hobby, or decadence, and of course, I would adapt to it. Like that, right?"

The moment the words fell, Kama's body transformed into that of a mature adult.

Upon hearing this, Parvati, who had been on high alert, immediately put away her Trident.

"So you only did that because Jealousy your mother's figure. It's okay, it's okay, I'll find a way to make you—"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Are you deaf? Can't you understand what I'm saying? Has Shiva protected you so much that you've become deaf?"

"It's you, Mom, who's talking nonsense."

Parvati, who had been keeping her head down while Kama spoke, trembled, her voice unconsciously suppressed, as if she were trying to hold back her tears.

"Running out in this special situation is worrying, and then inexplicably taking over some harem, and then setting up Breaking the Vows, what is this? Sexual misconduct and human harems are linked together, and Mom has become this strange, there's a pervasive sense of sentimentality everywhere... How am I supposed to think about this!"

"What did you say? I don't quite understand. What's wrong with what I did and those words? Besides, I only needed to break the four precepts..."

Perhaps intimidated by Parvati's imposing presence, Kama, who had been calm and collected, suddenly became somewhat at a loss.

In an instant, Parvati clenched her fists, suddenly looked up, and stared at Kama with tearful eyes.

"Are you going to betray Father, Mom?!"

"... Huh? I think you really should just die, acting so disrespectfully..."

Upon hearing this, Kama trembled uncontrollably, clearly angered by Parvati's words.

"Besides, you don't understand anything at all! You're just like that idiot Durga! Clearly, clearly everything I did was for 'him'!"

"Oh dear, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, my own mother is a married woman, yet she's been dragged into topics like the harem and Breaking the Vows, plus she's become like this and saying things like she'll get used to being depraved. Although I had that feeling before, when I'm facing you like this, I feel I have no choice but to say it."

As he spoke, Kisshouin walked up to Kama and looked directly at her.

"Making your worried daughter cry... that's really... inappropriate, isn't it, Lady Novia? You think so too, don't you?"

Novia did not respond immediately.

"That's unbelievable. I usually don't care what others say, except for that Durga guy... But what you said makes me inexplicably annoyed. Are you perhaps of the same ilk as her?"

Kama looked gloomy.

"And who are you two anyway?! You brat and that completely invisible guy, damn it, just thinking about it makes me inexplicably angry. Ugh~ Are they like Cockroach, good at hiding and relentlessly pursuing each other?"

Parvati was still shedding tears, which made Kama grit his teeth. After leaving a message, he chose to make the clone disappear.

"... In short, Parvati, you'll understand when you reach the last floor."

Little Kama.

Chapter 380: Sentient beings save the Buddha; non-Buddhas save sentient beings.

"... What bad luck."

Kama, the India Love God of love, murmured almost a sigh in the deepest part of the Labyrinth, as if he had transformed into the Universe.

Fortunately, he recalled all his clones on his return journey, and the Chaldea group on the Second Layer had not yet arrived, so no one could hear his mutterings.

"Parvati, how could you think of me like that? I can't stand it..."

The thought of Parvati crying and saying those words made Kama's face contort.

I was clearly trying really hard to see 'him'...

Kama stared blankly at his profile reflected on the Universe Sea, lost in thought.

His own actions were undoubtedly similar to those of King Solomon, the mastermind behind the Human Order Incineration. Knowing this, he shouldn't have gotten involved. Logically speaking, for a god like himself to do such a thing would undoubtedly be a disgrace to the Indian Pantheon... Never mind, looking at the situation in United States, I feel like I've completely lost face.

After all, what pantheon would openly wage civil war on another continent?

Sigh, Krishna still knows how to talk. If I had known that Durga was so easily believed, I should have turned into Pradyumna and killed him again beforehand. But thinking about it, if Durga hadn't gone somewhere, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

The scenery of the Universe ocean was like Slide Projector used in human schools, with familiar scenes flashing rapidly through Kama's eyes, finally settling on the final battle of the last cycle of the India Age of Gods, that is, when the Battle of the Gods Bhandasura, the King of Dharma, and Kama picked up the Clay Statue on the human side.

In fact, the point of disagreement between Durga and Kama regarding Kavia is quite simple: one believes that "she is still in the world and will return sooner or later," while the other believes that "she will not return." As for Mohini, the Goddess of Supreme Beauty, she simply lived a literal life as a "homebody" in the Ocean of Milk.

Therefore, Kama wanted to fill the world with "love" by restoring the essence, namely Mara, the Beast of Humanity who "Obstructer of Ascetics" in the concept of human society. In other words, he wanted to ascend smoothly through such Ritual, so that the Universe he inhabited could be reshaped into the "Indian Sector".

Her idea was somewhat similar to Goetia's, but unlike Goetia, who wanted to replace the Planet, Kama simply wanted to recreate the 'Indian Sector' of the Age of Gods. In short, it was to reincarnate and bring India back to its original starting point, but of course, it was limited to the India region.

However, Beast of Humanity is based on the 'evil' born from the Primate of this era. Kama's actions are somewhat contrary to the foundation of his own Beast of Humanity. After all, the Primate of the Age of Gods are Deity, not humans. If he really succeeds, he will likely suffer an unspeakable and severe blow.

Kama may or may not have known, but in any case, her mind was made up.

Don't care about what others think; throw away all rationality.

Whenever there is an opportunity, we should give it our all.

Please be frank and let your emotions run wild without restraint, because if it were me now, this plan—

"You say you are among all things, then I will give my 'love' to all things, and in this way, I will be able to see you again."

The stars that shone throughout the Universe gradually turned white, emitting a dazzling light.

Those are the last memories we have, the essence of Mara that only returns in the very first cycle of reincarnation.

The first flower born in the black, turbid waters of the Sixth Heaven of the Desire Realm, the Heaven of Freely Enjoying Others' Emanations, was the first Heavenly Demon, namely Mara, the Chief of the Heavenly Demons.

Even now, Kama still remembers the words spoken by the man who was beside the Chaldea Master, yet whom he couldn't see at all. "Obstructer of Ascetics, has your path truly reached Gautama?"

... Isn't that obvious? If I hadn't reached Gautama's level, how could I have become a human demon?

But for some reason, upon hearing these words, Kama looked again at the shadow in his memory, at the 'self' in his memory struggling, breathing incessantly, gazing at the dark sky with a sigh and a sorrowful look, a sigh and a sense of reluctance, an emotion that seemed completely different from defeat.

The silver-haired man, with his back to me and whose identity I couldn't discern... what did he say?

Until that final door opened, the Demon King once again sank himself into the shadows of his memories.

After an unknown amount of time, the moment the last door opened, Kama immediately opened his eyes and stared indifferently at the people in the doorway.

"The Universe? So this is what this place is really like...?"

Seeing the scene here, so different from when he first entered, Kisshouin murmured to himself thoughtfully.

When she brought Aria in earlier, this was a Courtroom, and the two of them were sitting in the Defendants' Bench. Kama himself was at the highest point of the Judges' Bench's bench, politely Judgment the crimes of the two who had become 'generals'.

"Goddess Kama! Where is the Lord of the Ooku now?!"

Perhaps due to a setback, Parvati did not appear, but instead had Kasuga-no-Tsubone appear.

"... Parvati, no, let's Kasuga-no-Tsubone now."

When Kama saw that Parvati didn't appear, she was instantly furious. She had originally wanted to explain things to Parvati.

And you're criticizing me? Aren't you the same way? Honestly, how dare you lecture me without any respect for your elders...

Suppressing her urge to scold, the silver-haired Goddess softened her expression and continued:

"For Parvati's sake, I'll tell you honestly. The Tokugawa shogun you mentioned is named Tokugawa House Iemitsu, right? That was the original Keystone, but I forgot where I put it after so long. Hmm, let me look for it... Hmm, found it."

Kama reached out and groped around in the empty Universe, then pulled out a document that looked exactly like the 'document' that everyone had picked up earlier.

"This document is the Keystone that will bring peace to this unfortunate city, ensuring that the souls of all Tokugawa shoguns are Judgment to Judgment at Scotland Yard."

Suddenly, Kama laughed.

"I'll tell you everything, for Parvati's sake, but as the Love God, I love you all equally."

"After hearing the lamentations of London, I took over the 'system' there, then went to the Ooku to bring it in and merge it with London, punishing Tokugawa House Iemitsu, the shogun from the past, and successfully obtaining his soul. Then, following the Threads of Causality, I began to diligently collect materials."

"First came the Ooku, then expanded to Edo. The same thing happened in London; first Scotland Yard, then London."

"Then, I extended the Threads of Causality vertically, that is, towards the past and Japan Future, the Tokugawa, the Shogun, the Shogunate, the lamentations of the islands, the Royal Family, Britain, that is, the souls of London and Edo from 1603 to 1893, all acted as fuel, creating all of this."

"Of course, everyone in London did it voluntarily, but in Edo, it was a matter of majority rule."

"Mom, I understand what you did."

Parvati had appeared out of nowhere, looked at Kama with a pained expression. "But what exactly is your purpose? To maintain this Singularity Domain created here through dangerous actions that even jeopardize the timeline? To attempt to break Human Order through this distortion..."

My goal has always been singular—

A gentle breeze suddenly swept through the Universe, and the sound of space shattering turned into a soft murmur, dissolving into the surroundings.

Kama's silver hair fluttered in the wind.

"No matter how many lives are taken, no matter how many lies are told, no matter how much alcohol is consumed, no matter how much theft is committed, no matter how despicable a human being may be, I will love them, even if they fall into Hell, I will still love them. This is the proof of my love, which allows all indulgences, my love."

Because 'He' is in all things, so too is my 'love' in all things.

In just a moment, the space transformed from the Universe back into Courtroom. The Chaldea members were all in the Defendants' Dock's seat, while the Gallery, Defense Table, Plaintiff's Table, Judges' Bench, and Press Gallery were all occupied by Kama, except for the Defendants' Dock's seat.

Kama, who was positioned in the very center of the Judges' Bench, was undoubtedly the real Kama. Dressed in a refined manner, she smiled and spoke.

"Although I hate gods, humans, Servant myself, although I hate everything other than myself, although I truly feel disgusted, even so... I will still sincerely hate you and love you, until the very end, after all, you are proof that 'he' is not here."

"Mom, you smell..."

Parvati wrinkled her nose as she watched Kama's Limbs burning with blue flames.
