"Who's going?"

Indra blinked and looked at the gods.

Even with the blessed divine armor, he didn't want to go near Halahala, the world's poison. It was good enough to stand back and watch.

The gods: "..."

The gods quickly turned their heads, avoiding Indra's gaze, and looked at each other.

The next moment, Surya, the Sun God, slightly raised his hand, holding a golden divine sleeve, and strode to the Devraj's side.

Huh?!

Is the Sun God going to volunteer?

Agni, the Fire God, Vayu, the Wind God, Moon God Soma, and Varuna, the Water God, all lit up.

Surya stood beside Indra, slowly turned his head to face the gods, head held high, chest puffed out, his face full of righteousness.

"The Devraj is right. It took a lot of divine power and Tapasya for the two of us to forge this divine armor. You all need to make a decision quickly."

Surya, the Sun God, said with a serious expression.

The gods stared at Surya speechlessly.

What a Surya!

Once this divine armor was given away, it would have nothing to do with Surya. To show up now was truly shameless.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, Varuna, the Water God, who had been silent, let out a soft sound, flicked his index finger, and slightly opened his mouth, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Speaking of fastest, the fastest among us is naturally Vayu."

Varuna, the Water God, reminded them.

Vayu, the Wind God, looked at Varuna beside him in shock.

This guy is setting him up!

"That's right, the Wind God is the vanguard of our heavenly gods, the fastest in form and the strongest in speed!" Agni, the Fire God, nodded. "I crown him the fastest and strongest!"

"That's right, exactly!"

Soma agreed.

"Then let it be Vayu!" Surya, the Sun God, made the decision.

Vayu, the Wind God, fell silent.

He clasped his hands together, turned around, and looked pleadingly at the Supreme Lord Vishnu.

Give me some advice!

"Vayu, go. I believe you'll be fine!"

Vishnu still had that gentle, spring-breeze-like smile on his face.

"Okay~"

Seeing this, Vayu, the Wind God, had no choice but to nod, squeezing out this word, and reluctantly embraced the divine armor.

"Go, we will sing praises for you and await your victory!" Indra clenched his fist, patted his chest, and let out muffled thunderous sounds.

As soon as he finished speaking, Surya and the others immediately clasped their hands and began to sing without delay.

"The divine chariot of the Wind God, immensely powerful~"

"Destroying enemy strongholds, its sound like thunder roaring~"

"Swiftly reaching the sky, the heavens exhale rainbows~"

"Spinning as it awaits the enemy, dust flying everywhere~"

At this moment, Indra's divine power flashed, manifesting a cow bone and a wooden stick, and he began to beat them in rhythm.

"I'm going!"

"Go!"

"I'm really going!"

"Hurry up and go!"

Listening to the gods' praises, Vayu, the Wind God, gritted his teeth, grabbed the divine armor, and activated his divine power. Rolling winds surged out from under his feet, transforming into a white horse divine chariot.

He leaped onto it and floated towards Halahala.

Swish!

Vayu, the Wind God, shot up into the sky, getting closer and closer to the spreading Halahala.

As he gradually approached, rolling blue-green poisonous mist surged towards him. The white horse and divine chariot formed by divine power were actually corroded, instantly dissipating, and Halahala also lunged forward.

Vayu, the Wind God, was greatly alarmed and quickly raised the divine armor.

Swish!

A golden light flashed from the Golden Solar God Armor, and a devouring power surged out, instantly absorbing the charging cyan-blue poisonous mist.

The rolling Halahala immediately stopped spreading and surged into the divine armor.

Seeing this, Vayu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if it had been a false alarm.

"Phew~ The blessings from the Devraj's Tapasya are quite useful!"

"This divine armor is really good. After I go back, I can persuade the Devraj to go through Tapasya a few more times and bestow more blessings. That way, the Heavenly Realm will surely be peaceful in the future, and the gods can enjoy their lives properly."

Vayu thought to himself.

He held up the Golden Solar God Armor, its golden light shimmering, and faced the rolling Halahala, absorbing it madly.

Under this absorption, the spread of Halahala also slowed down.

Above the Ocean of Milk.

Brahma sat cross-legged on a lotus, looking down, staring at the Halahala that had stopped spreading.

"It seems they can resolve the poison of the Ocean of Milk!"

Brahma nodded slightly and said.

Mahadeva Shiva's eyes were calm as he looked at the spreading Halahala and suddenly spoke.

"No!"

"Not yet!"

Shiva said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Brahma's eyes flickered, as if realizing something, and he suddenly looked down at the cyan-blue poisonous mist.

Rumble!

Vayu held up the divine armor, continuously absorbing the poisonous mist.

Suddenly, the Halahala began to boil, the cyan-blue poisonous mist churned, and it actually began to contract, no longer spreading outwards, but instead shrinking towards the center.

Boom!

The endless Halahala converged in one place, and a terrifying figure materialized.

This figure had a terrifying appearance and blinding radiance, with four large tusks, dark brown hair, eyes that spewed fire, and its entire body was cyan-blue. It was clearly a poison person!

Halahala!

Vayu stared at the poison person before him in astonishment. The moment their gazes met, a sense of pain and weakness surged from within him!

So painful!

What's going on!

Vayu's expression was bitter, and he was completely bewildered.

Roar!

Halahala let out a low growl and instantly appeared in front of Vayu, raising a fist and punching out.

Vayu raised the divine armor.

Boom!

Halahala struck the divine armor, and Vayu, holding the divine armor, was sent flying backward with a whoosh, crashing towards the gods.

Vishnu, the Guardian God, frowned slightly and raised his hand, conjuring a golden light that steadily caught the charging Vayu.

"Good thing I didn't step forward!"

Indra's heart leaped, and he took a deep breath, thinking.

He never expected that Halahala could transform into a demon!

He then quickly stepped forward to check on Vayu's condition. Fortunately, the divine armor had provided some defense, and Vishnu had caught him, so Vayu was merely sent flying back.

"Supreme Lord, what exactly is that monster?"

Surya asked.

"Halahala!"

Vishnu, the Guardian God, replied.

Huh?!

All the gods were startled!

This poisonous mist could also turn into a demon?!

The gods turned their gazes and saw the poison person with ferocious fangs and flames spewing from its eyes. Just looking at it caused intense pain within their bodies.

The gods immediately averted their eyes.

"I am Halahala! I am the light of poison! I am the destroyer of worlds!"

Halahala roared to the sky.

The sound rushed straight into the clouds, causing the entire Ocean of Milk to churn, and countless stone mountains even fell from Mandara Mountain.

"No!"

"You are not!"

A calm voice suddenly echoed.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a colossal hand descended from above, slowly extending to grasp the Halahala.

Boom!

Halahala was caught by Shiva with almost no resistance and swallowed into his mouth.

The potent poison flowed down Shiva's neck, its dark blue light reflecting on his skin as it threatened to descend further.

At this moment, Vishnu appeared beside Shiva, a smile on his face.

The two met each other's gaze, and Shiva returned the smile.

The next moment, Vishnu raised his hand and grasped Shiva's throat. "Mahadeva, the world resides within you; you cannot let the potent poison flow down."

Shiva smiled without speaking.

"Praise to the Supreme Mahadeva! Praise to the Supreme Lord Vishnu!"

Indra's eyes flickered, and he immediately spoke.

"Praise to the Supreme Mahadeva! Praise to the Supreme Lord Vishnu!"

"Praise to the Supreme Mahadeva! Praise to the Supreme Lord Vishnu!"

The other gods quickly followed suit.

Seeing this, Brahma, who was standing nearby, felt a bit awkward.

These two had done everything, saved the world, and received praise, while he had no presence at all.

At least give him some face!

Brahma's eyes darted around, and he raised his hand, speaking.

"Halahala endangered the world, I curse..."

Regarding the poison from the Ocean of Milk, when I was researching, I found that Shiva drinking the poison is sometimes considered a battle, and it's not the same as the Battle of the Ocean of Milk. Then I found that Halahala has a monstrous form, and I feel it's related to this.
