Chapter 395
Krishna frowned slightly, seemingly surprised that Rama would say such a thing.
"I saw resistance on this land, the same kind of resistance seen on our land—the courage to resist with one's own strength after the Deity and Deity heroes have vanished. My friend once said that even Brahman should not change people's thoughts and actions, saying that people's thoughts are part of the supreme Brahman, and that people have the freedom to act as they see fit."
In the end, Krishna could only sigh with regret.
"What a pity, Rama. You, who turned my friend into a figure of Wrath after becoming Righteous King, actually have the audacity to utter these words."
"... Since you understand, then you should know that doing these things is right—"
"Hahahaha, of course I understand, I understand perfectly well, I understand far better than you, even Durga! But so what?"
Krishna, completely unfazed by Rama's accusations, raised his hands to the sky, "As long as my friend can be restored, does it matter whether I live or die because of these actions? No, it doesn't matter at all. Besides, I'm not unprepared for this. At the very least, I might still have a chance to fight alongside my friend! Hahahaha, Outer God..."
Upon hearing this, Rama's eyes narrowed, and anger surged within him.
What have you done now?
"Shut up, Rama! Do you really think that when you appeared in the strongest form according to the 'Rama Charitmanas,' I was completely unprepared?"
The Divine Ramayana, a work adapted in the Sixteenth Century by Tulsidas, one of India's most famous Hindi poets, from the Sanskrit epic Ramayana and a work by a Nameless author called The Rama Charitmanas, is the most influential literary work in northern India.
For three or four hundred years, its influence in Hindi-speaking regions has even surpassed that of the Ramayana, which it was based on and adapted from the Sanskrit classics.
The Rama Charitmanas states this:
You are in the heart of the Rakshasa, Rama is in your heart, and Rama's heart contains the entire Universe.
Therefore, if an arrow is shot into the heart of this Rakshasa, the entire Universe will perish along with Ravana.
The commonly known description of Rama, who possessed a Universe containing millions of beings, including countless Shiva, Brahma, the sun, and Sun moon, comes from the "Rama Charitmanas".
Since Rama manifested himself in this manner, Krishna, who was already prepared, naturally did as well.
Then Rama saw Krishna approaching him with his usual nonchalant smile.
Behind him, various Divinity lights, such as Buddha's light, holy light, and the Sun, surged, along with a faint Bodhi Tree.
"O foolish, Treta Yuga Righteous King, Nirvana and cleansed here, witness the end of the world with the foreign lands. This is the end of you, foolish one named Rama."
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the highest scriptures of Hinduism, and I am considered by the Supreme Brahman to be the second best Executor of Bhagavan. Moreover, my Wikipedia search volume in India is far higher than that of Shiva, and the extreme value is even on par with the Son of God of the Church. This alone is enough to demonstrate my fame in India. In Jainism, which regards Kavia as the Primordial and the end of the two 'Tirthankara' as one, I am also a Tirthankara.
In Buddhism, it is regarded as Buddhism Buddha's Dharma and a powerful assistant. Some even mistakenly believe that Krishna's childhood image is Siddhartha when he was still a prince.
In some Faith of another religion, he is regarded as the Holy One of the One God sent to earth to teach humanity, or a prophet.
Naturally, it was only natural that even the King Rama, who manifested in his strongest form, would die at his hands.
However, things can be unpredictable. Novia, who was defeated by Krishna and was on the verge of death, fell to the very place where Rama was.
Therefore, at a critical moment, Rama was saved by Novia. However, since Rama was injured and asleep, Novia asked Dr. Pirogov and Edison to set up a temporary infirmary to take care of Rama.
At this moment, Novia stood alone outside the medical room, gazing at the eastern part of the Americas.
The power of Krishna defeated Rama was a mixture of several pantheons, a fact that Novia was well aware of, having come into contact with them all, given his important role in monotheistic religions, Buddhism, and Hinduism.
"Consultant, he's awake—"
As Ritsuka stepped out of the Great Gate, intending to report the situation to Novia outside, she didn't see 'Novia'. Instead, she saw a blond man dressed in a Primitive Man style, wearing Jaguar Man Mask, and shirtless.
This initially made the Orange-Haired Girl mistakenly think it was some other Servant, but the voice coming from the blond man reassured her.
"Ritsuka, it's me. This is the power of the shadow within my 'shadow,' seemingly Servant from the Americas."
This is Novia's skill as the Fifth Sun: Gift of the First Sun.
The Jaguar Man Mask worn by those with the First Sun as their Guardian God will make them appear to be naked from the waist up, with their hair turning golden, and will also give them an aura of 'mountains,' proving that they are recognized by the King of Leopards. Other than that, it has no other effect. It might be quite effective in making people believe that they are the First Sun.
Theoretically, the mask should have been only half left after Novia first met ORT, but Novia didn't understand how it became whole again, though that didn't affect him.
"Are you awake? Okay, I'll go in and check on you."
"... It's like he's a completely different person, you can't even see his face anymore..."
Looking at Novia's upper body, Ritsuka couldn't help but make a couple of comments. The image of Novia, half-naked and with her hair changed color, gave her a feeling of 'a childhood friend I haven't seen in a long time has suddenly turned into a dark-skinned hot girl'.
Ritsuka wasn't really surprised. After all, given how many shadows Novia had mentioned, it wouldn't be surprising if one was from the Americas. She just didn't know which one it was. She wanted to ask, but she sensed she'd get Answer like, "I don't know."
In fact, the reason Novia chose to appear before Rama with blonde hair and slightly Crimson eyes wasn't for any particular reason; she simply thought it would be interesting to meet Rama like this, because—
"You, you, you..."
Upon seeing Novia, with her blond hair, red eyes, and the strange Jaguar Man Mask, Novia Rama, who had just woken up, was jolted awake. He trembled violently, his outstretched hand shaking, and he eventually fainted again.
Novia shook her head and waved her hand in response to the puzzled looks from the crowd.
I don't know why.
This is a lie.
The reason Rama fainted from fright was simple: when he abandoned Sita due to public opinion, it was at that moment that Kavia, in that world still under the control of the Supreme Brahman, was transformed into the form of 'Divya' in a long period of Wrath.
Of course, compared to Divya's Wrath appearance, Novia didn't have any red patterns on her skin that looked neither like pigmentation nor tattoos, nor did she hang dazzling golden bells on her ears... After all, that's a look he only adopts when he's Wrath.
For him to transform back into that form, he would likely need someone who manipulates the will of countless people and alters their thoughts and behaviors. Only then would he be willing to fight in that form again.
After a while, Rama woke up again and realized what had happened. He first expressed his gratitude to everyone for saving his life, and then introduced himself.
"Rama? The most powerful King Rama during the Treta Yuga period of Ancient India?"
Mash asked, quite curiously.
"Yes, the great King of Kosala, the strongest Righteous King, that is me."
The red-haired man, who was the Righteous King, nodded confidently.
"But don't you remember being defeated, Rama, during the Treta Yuga Kingdoms period?"
Just then, Novia, wearing Jaguar Man Mask, made a sarcastic remark.
"I know what the Consultant is talking about; it's about the biggest, strongest, and most terrifying disaster of the Treta Yuga era, right..."
Rama initially just scratched his head and laughed sheepishly when he heard Novia's teasing, but his expression turned cold when he heard Mash's introduction. He took a deep breath before his expression softened.
"Young lady, that's not a disaster for us. You need to be careful about how you address people."
"No, I'm very sorry..."
"It's alright, I understand. Many ancient texts record it this way. Rather, I shouldn't have been so angry; I should be the one apologizing."
Many ancient texts describe the "enemy" in that battle as "the greatest, strongest, and most terrifying calamity witnessed by all beings in India during the Treta Yuga period." Some versions even record that it defeated the King Rama and Shiva in one fell swoop. Since this is the most common account, it is not surprising.
In later interpretations, it was used as a symbol of 'resistance', seen as the manifestation of one's own anger in the face of injustice.
The difference between the two lies in the way human society utilizes and transforms ancient things at different times. This can be both a blessing and a curse. As for the India Deity themselves, whether Kavia's Wrath Divya is a 'calamity' or some other noble name, it doesn't matter; the essence has never changed.
Therefore, as his acknowledged wife Durga naturally gained full divine authority in the final battle, defeating the King of Dharma Bhandasura. At that moment, she used this identity to summon the Deity of India to this place to wage a great war. Otherwise, Krishna alone would not have been able to make Rama, the Righteous King, appear here.
"Alright, no matter what, I'm no longer with the India Faction, and my goals are the same as yours."
Rama patted Mash on the shoulder, "Therefore, I will tell you what I know."
Then, as expected, Rama revealed to everyone the reason why the era was distorted: Krishna, the leader of the India Faction, and the arrangements of his subordinates.
"Ashwatthama, Arjuna, Duryodhana, Dhritarashtra, etc..."
Rama paused, seemingly avoiding Novia's gaze as she wore the Jaguar Man Mask, "Besides them, there were also Asura, including Andhaka, Jalandhara, Vritra..."
Edison, who had served in the Americas theater, said, "I've seen these Asura you're talking about; they're all utterly reckless."
"That's normal. After all, although they look down on Krishna has Durga's orders, so their behavior is understandable."
Ritsuka asked, "Isn't this strange? Since you're all united by the Goddess Durga, why is Krishna the leader?"
"Because the Goddess Durga has disappeared, only Krishna knows her whereabouts and can manifest her power."
"... Could it be that Durga is actually trapped by Krishna?"
Ritsuka suddenly asked another question on a whim.
"Actually, that's unlikely."
Rama shook his head. "Krishna shouldn't do such a thing. Durga must have joined forces with him, but for some reason, she can't show up. Originally, I wanted to see her and persuade her to abandon her current actions, but unfortunately, I'm no match for Krishna. Krishna's power far exceeds my imagination. I thought I could hold him off, but I didn't expect..."
Then, Rama took a breath and mustered his courage to ask Novia, who was wearing Jaguar Man Mask, a question.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Me? Right now, I'd say I'm—"
Novia was also considering whether to reveal her identity directly, since either Kavia or Favia would have to reveal one or both of them now.
After all, he was very familiar with the Americas and Indian Pantheon. After thinking about it, he realized that if he said he was Favia, he wouldn't be able to make fun of Da Vinci as usual when he returned to Chaldea. He probably wouldn't have any peace and quiet for 24 hours a day.
However, according to some versions, the Fifth Sun became the Fifth Sun after consuming the blood and heart of all the Americas gods, or it acknowledges being merged with them, so it's not surprising that it claims to be another Sun.
So you claim to be the Fourth Sun Chalchiuhtlicue?
That was Deity who was like a wife or sister to Tlaloc, although Novia also understood that the 'Tlaloc' she knew was essentially a shell of the Moon Lake, not the Deity himself.
However, this idea was rejected. After all, Novia already had the Jaguar Man Mask and a strong aura of 'mountains'. Unless it was Tezcatlipoca himself, no one could be sure that he wasn't. Moreover, when Novia put on the mask, she sensed a faint aura of 'mountains' from Southern The Americas.
Therefore, Novia felt that the Tezcatlipoca might have also arrived. The reason she didn't think it was the Old Man of the Mountain was mainly because Novia, who had met King Hassan, didn't sense anything else in the 'mountain' aura. Therefore, it couldn't be the Old Man of the Mountain. This aura was too pure, so pure that it seemed to be just the concept of 'mountain aura' itself.
Therefore, Novia, wearing the Jaguar Man Mask, answered Rama in this way:
"First Sun Tezcatlipoca".
Chapter 424 Three Tezcatlipoca Make a Show
"Tezcatlipoca?!"
Of all those present, Edison reacted the most strongly.
This is because he is now Servant of the Western the Americas Union, and his superior was Tlaloc, the first president of the Americas Sun King. Tlaloc is the Third Sun, who occupies an important position in two of the three major mythological systems of the Americas. After his defeat in challenging Tlaloc, Edison also learned a little about these myths.
As it turned out Tlaloc, the Third Sun, should theoretically be male, since he had a wife. But given the facts and the fact that he himself had become Lion for some reason, there was no further doubt.
This is to be expected, because the Black-Haired Girl herself would not easily reveal to outsiders the secret that she was actually a city spirit born from the combination of the 'Moon Lake, Tenochtitlan Lake Texcoco' and the City Tlaloc built on it.
However, the name uttered by the masked man accompanying Chaldea, who had suddenly transformed into a blond man, made Edison imagine that if these two Sun were to meet, the West would probably be the first to fight.
First.
According to Aztec mythology, the arrival of Tezcatlipoca inevitably brings chaos. If a wealthy person, who was doing well in everything, suddenly falls into abject poverty and is separated from his wife and children, it must be the work of Tezcatlipoca.
The local Faith states. "He only plays tricks on people; he will never be sincere to anyone, nor will he be anyone's friend."
Therefore, he was given the title "one who is an enemy of all sides".
Secondly.
And most importantly, there's Tlaloc and his mythological feud.
According to mythology, the destruction of the Third Sun Era was caused by Tezcatlipoca tempting the wife of the Rain God to do something improper, which caused Tlaloc to become withdrawn and unwilling to do anything, resulting in a long drought. Finally, annoyed by the people's prayers, Tlaloc sent down a rain of fire to destroy the world.
However, some say that the Tezcatlipoca simply descended on its own.
In conclusion, considering all of Tezcatlipoca's actions in the mythology, even though he was extremely powerful, Edison held a pessimistic view, feeling that it was good enough if he didn't cause any trouble.
God, wouldn't it have been better to have a Second Sun, Fourth Sun, or something like that? Why did you have to create such a ridiculous mess...?
"What? Edison, what do you think of my appearance?"
Perhaps noticing the obvious tremor in Edison's Lion, Novia asked in a voice full of laughter.
"Ah no, no, how could that be? With your help, First Sun, I'm overjoyed! Hahahaha..."
Edison scratched his head awkwardly. "Oh, right, you already know, our first one was the Third Sun of the Americas. How should I put it... ahahaha..."
Now that things have come to this, those present who are not very familiar with the Americas mythology understand that there is clearly a gap between the First Sun and Third Sun; otherwise, Edison wouldn't have acted this way.
"Mash, do you know what's going on?"
Ritsuka secretly asked Mash, who was standing beside her, "Is there some kind of conflict between the two Sun...?"
Upon hearing this, Mash seemed hesitant to speak, took a deep breath, and then answered softly:
"Senior, in mythology, Tlaloc's wife was... well, you know... by the First Sun on the Consultant's body..."
Because Mash used hand gestures, Ritsuka easily understood the cause and effect. Even Rama, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but frown slightly, inwardly cursing himself for actually thinking that this guy was Ga. It was simply wrong of him, since Ga's personality would never be like this.
But even if it were true, there would definitely be a reason, just like Krishna, who admitted it to protect his innocence.
"I see, is that what you're worried about?"
Novia looked at Edison, and although Edison couldn't see his face behind the mask, he always felt that the First Sun was smiling.
