Chapter 555

Durga's expression is always like an ice block, but with her status as Great Goddess, she has a unique charm under the double blessing... As for Kali running away, that would be too Violence and bloody.

Mohini is known as the most beautiful Goddess, with a warm and cheerful personality and a unique physical advantage.

But,

I have all those advantages! Transformation is a piece of cake! I can easily split into three bodies! The largest is about the same size as Durga, and the smallest is about the same size as Mohini, so I can say that I have already established myself in the unchanging position! The fact that it is only calling out to itself instead of both of them is the best proof! Alas, poor Mohini, alas, Durga deserves his fate.

"You seem very happy, Kama."

Seeing Kama's barely suppressed smile, which seemed quite pleased, Durga, unusually, returned Kama's smile.

"Were you thinking of my husband?"

This sounds strange at first glance, but considering that this is Durga, it's not surprising. After all, although he looks stern, he's just a natural-born person at heart.

It's no wonder that even the cunning Kama was completely subdued by Durga.

After all, she couldn't bring herself to call Kavia her husband like Durga did.

Therefore,

"... Ugh."

Kama looked indifferent and crossed his arms.

"I'd say that's barely acceptable."

After briefly glossing over the topic, Kama adopted a strategy, pretending to be nonchalant and deflecting the conversation as much as possible.

"Um... I'd like to eat something right now, could you cook for me?"

"Okay." Durga tilted his head. "But what about eating? How do we prepare it?"

Durga truly has no concept of eating; in fact, it's more accurate to say that the gods generally don't need to eat. Durga practically overjoyed just to be able to hold Novia.

"Here's what we'll do: you go find Mohini, she knows."

"Um."

After nodding, Durga got up to look for Mohini, and the White Snake that was wrapped around her neck obediently crawled down to watch over Kama in her place.

Seeing this, Kama happily waved goodbye to Durga as he left.

"Go and come back soon, Durga! And I promise I won't wander off!"

Kama was telling the truth, because Durga held Authority over all of India. Even if she managed to escape, she would be caught before she disappeared. What would emerge then wouldn't be the easily fooled Durga, but the extremely terrifying Kali... Although Kali was also quite easy to fool, she was far too terrifying for Kama.

It was literally like treating her like a disassembled toy.

Therefore, the only way to get Durga to release him willingly is through that woman, besides Kavia.

Mohini walked in expressionlessly, while Kama seemed to want to bathe himself in light, skipping and spinning around barefoot before flashing her a lovely smile.

This puzzled Mohini. Unlike Durga, she wasn't easily fooled. As soon as she heard that Durga had been invited by Kama to cook for her, she knew that Kama was definitely up to something again.

But why was Kama so certain that he would agree?

Mohini didn't quite understand this.

Based on that laugh? You're kidding. She's not Jia herself; even if she laughed for hundreds of years, it wouldn't have any effect on her.

"Oh my, isn't this the most beautiful Mohini? You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"What are you planning to do now, Kama?"

"Oh, I wasn't planning on doing anything. It's just—" Kama shook her finger, smiling somewhat shyly, and walked step by step towards Mohini, who was about her height, her purple dress fluttering gently, "It's been a long time since we've talked, hasn't it, Mother~"

"... Hmm!?"

Mohini seemed to be momentarily stunned by the shout.

In order to defeat Moses Wet Asura, Kavia and Mohini had a child. Kavia cleverly made Kama their child because "for a child, parents are the world." Kavia, who was adopted by Kama, defined her unreliable foster mother Kama as the world. In short, this is how Kama obtained the Authority of the Growth God.

Therefore, it is only natural for Kama to call Mohini "Mama".

However, in all the years she spent with Mohini and Durga, Kama never accepted this claim. She mostly tried to control them by acting as their mother, but it had no effect on them at all.

"Oh."

Mohini, regaining her senses, gave a cold laugh, her long red hair cascading over her black stockings.

"Kama, do you think I'll help you with this trick? Let me tell you, don't even think about it."

Seeing Mohini's refusal, Kama wondered if his last hope had also been shattered.

No, that's not it.

I still have my last trump card to use, but using it would be too Shame! To be treated like a child, this kind of thing, this kind of thing...

Damn it! If Kavia hadn't called out to me...

With a heavy heart, Kama finally unleashed her trump card against Mohini was playing with her hair—

The silver-haired girl threw herself into Mohini's arms, tears streaming down her face. She strained her eyes, holding her breath until she felt pain as she sobbed.

"Mom, my dearest Mom, please grant me—no, I mean my daughter—this one small wish. I beg you, just this once. I'd even be willing to call you 'Mom' in front of Kavia afterward! I promise!"

This is a lie.

If it's going to be this kind of game, Kama feels it's better to let his clone do it.

"This..."

Mohini hesitated.

I just made up my mind to reject the treacherous and cunning Kama, so why am I hesitating now?

No, that's normal. This is a chance for Kama to genuinely call her "Mother." If Kama really does that, wouldn't she be... in front of him in the future?

In fact, the three India can theoretically be said to have a relationship of mutual restraint.

The naturally Durga uses his personality and strength to suppress the cunning Kama, while Kama, by virtue of being the adopted daughter of Mohini and Kavia, can make Mohini hesitate. Then, Durga, who trusts Mohini very much, will naturally listen to Mohini's advice obediently.

"Let's put that aside for now, Kama, what exactly are you going out to do this time?"

What are you doing?

Of course, it was to respond to Kavia's call and let him and himself make up for the hundred years they had owed each other.

Kama wouldn't say this outright, because he was the only one who reacted, which meant that Kavia didn't want Durga and Mohini to know. He couldn't ruin things, and this was proof of his high standing in Kavia's heart, almost irrefutable.

After a moment's thought, Kama, with tears in his eyes, said, "I want to change myself."

What do you need to change?

"I actually wanted Kavia to fall into depravity before me! I was so wicked!" Kama stood up righteously. "Such things are truly not enjoyable at all. I've decided to change this bad habit of mine, so I plan to find a place to lock myself away and severely temper my will!"

Under normal circumstances, Kama's words would be full of loopholes, and Mohini should have seen through them.

However, Mohini, who hesitated because of the word "Mama," finally nodded in agreement to Kama's suggestion.

There was no other way; maintaining harmony within Jia's family was something she, as the lady of the house, should do...

Mohini thought so.

Thanks to this, Kama was soon released by Durga.

Love God, suppressing his excitement, strode forward, then eagerly responded to the almost instinctive call, afraid of being a step too late.

"Hmm~ I'm really happy this time! Because I'm thinking about spending a long time with you! This dress was specially made by Mohini for me to call her 'Mom'! Isn't it cute?! Doesn't it feel great in every way? But, even with my clone, it's perfectly fine."

Kama closed her eyes, revealing a radiant smile. Then, she nimbly spun around, returning to a facing position. With her hands on her hips, she confidently opened her Crimson eyes.

"Cute--"

Love God froze.

Oh no, I've made a huge fool of myself.

After the initial shock, she naturally adopted a wary stance.

The one calling my name should be Kavia, so why is it a strange woman with bat wings whom I don't recognize at all?

In Kama's eyes, it was a silver-haired woman squatting on the ground, scrutinizing her with eyes like emeralds, and seemingly with a lollipop in her mouth?

For some reason, Kama felt that her eyes had turned into somewhat cute cat eyes, as if she was surprised by his previous behavior and words.

"Oh my, so surprised? What's wrong? Even if this is our first meeting, you should know what you're carrying, right?"

Lilith smiled and asked.

This attitude and aura made Kama feel that the other person was a similar being to himself, referring to the feeling of wanting to corrupt the one he loved.

"... What did you do? Who exactly are you?"

Kama narrowed his eyes and asked in return.

In order not to miss her every move, I increased my concentration.

Her reason for being wary was very simple.

In this world, it's impossible for her to be influenced by anyone other than Kavia to react that way.

"My name is Lilith? I never imagined I'd be a child." Lilith said with a hint of sarcasm. "I have nothing to offer. I must have made a mistake, choosing such a useless person."

"You're saying I'm useless?"

Lilith's words contained enough to make Kama, already Wrath, sneer.

The next second, blue flames erupted from Kama's body. Lilith thought a fight was about to break out, but Kama simply transformed into her girl form.

How about this?

Then, she transformed into her largest form again, her Crimson eyes, hidden in shadow, revealing hostility.

So that's how it is. This guy, summoned by Lust, can actually switch between these different appearances? Well, that does somewhat fit the Lust.

After figuring out what the silver-haired girl could do with her Lust, Lilith stood up, clapped her hands, and revealed a seductive smile.

"Why don't you take another look?"

After saying that, Lilith also changed her form, just like Kama.

Its feet transformed into beast hooves, an incredibly sharp black tail grew from its rump, and its jet-black bat wings transformed into Angel- like wings, though they appeared somewhat pale.

However, the two women's most noticeable body parts are surprisingly the same size.

"Snort..."

Kama snorted and leaned back against the ribbon behind him, arms crossed.

"Alright, now that we've calmed down... let me think, where should I begin my explanation?"

Lilith put the lollipop to her lips and began to think.

"Simply put, the reason I'm calling upon you is that I hope you can use Lust on someone to drive another person to despair, that's about it."

"Ha, so this is the kind of despicable way you steal someone's love?" Kama shook his head. "But I'm very sorry, my love isn't so easily obtained. In fact, my love already has an owner, so... let's call her Lilith, right? I can't help you realize your wish."

"Yes, I completely understand. This must be love, right?"

"Lilith said softly."

Kama was unsure of the emotions behind Lilith's statement.

Because Lilith wasn't looking at Kama, but rather at memories of the past.

"That's what I mean. So, since that's the case, I'd like to take my leave. My love is limited."

"I understand that. Hearing the word 'limited' makes me feel really good."

"Right? There's a unique kind of excitement to this limited way of putting it!"

"It can represent excitement, and it can also be seen as radiating charm."

"Hmm, Lilith, don't you think this makes it even more addictive?"

Perhaps it's because they share similar interests, or perhaps they're just kindred spirits; in any case, their relationship has suddenly become quite good.

"I don't quite understand this." Lilith took the lollipop out of her mouth and waved it in her hand, a nostalgic expression on her face. "After all, my love is shattered. Now I can't love anymore, I can only hate."

"I see."

"That's true, it's Fate. I'm Monster whose very essence is killing, how can I possibly love?"

Lilith uttered these words softly, sounding like she was trying to comfort herself, or perhaps just talking to herself.

At the same time, Kama sensed something was amiss.
