"The demon Halahala endangers the world!"
"I curse that once it leaves Mahadeva's neck, its wisdom shall be extinguished, and its body shall divide into the poison of the immobile and the poison of the mobile, merging into all things, never again able to sustain life."
Brahma spoke.
His voice echoed throughout the entire world, reaching everywhere in all directions. This curse resounded through the Heavenly Realm, the Netherworld, and the Human Realm.
For a time, throughout the world.
All animals and plants that bore deadly poison sensed this curse.
Dashra of the Ashvins nodded slightly and explained, "The poison of the mobile is animal venom, while the poison of the immobile is plant poison. This way, even if Halahala leaves Mahadeva's throat, it will merge into the poisons of the world."
Halahala had already entered Mahadeva's throat. There was basically no chance of it coming out.
This curse was useless now.
But since Brahma had acted, the gods also pressed their palms together and once more offered praise to Brahma.
"Praise Brahma!"
"Praise Brahma!"
The corners of Brahma's lips lifted slightly, revealing his satisfaction as he thoroughly enjoyed the praise.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before long, amid the chorus of praise, Brahma and Mahadeva Shiva vanished from the spot. Vishnu smiled as he gazed toward the enormous vortex stirred up by Mandara Mountain.
At that moment, Indra's heart stirred.
This curse...
His divine armor had absorbed quite a bit of Halahala. Would it not be dispersed by this curse as well?
Indra quickly lowered his head and looked at his Golden Solar God Armor.
The armor still gleamed brilliantly.
He immediately activated his divine power. Strands of azure-blue radiance emerged, winding around the Golden Solar God Armor. As they flickered, they resembled tiny suns, illuminating every direction.
"Ah! It hurts!"
"Heavenly Emperor, stop! Stop!"
"It hurts! It hurts! This light hurts so much!"
Startled cries of pain rang out from the surrounding gods.
Indra hurriedly withdrew his divine power, and the azure-blue radiance on the armor faded away.
He glanced at the armor, then swept his gaze over the terrified gods around him.
"The Halahala Poison really is terrifying!"
"This poisonous light is just like that demon's. Even being touched by the light of its venom causes agonizing pain!"
"Good thing that demon has already been captured by Mahadeva!"
The gods huddled together, staring at the armor in disbelief, fearful and uneasy. Merely seeing Halahala's radiance caused excruciating pain. They did not know what would happen if they touched it.
Surya in particular.
His head spun as he looked at the sun patterns on the armor, feeling as though the suns upon it had turned blue.
Indra's eyes blazed, and he was somewhat excited instead.
The armor's effects were astonishingly good!
"Looks like the Halahala Poison inside this armor is still there."
"Of course!"
"Creator God Brahma cursed the demon Halahala. What does that have to do with my deadly Halahala Poison?"
Indra thought.
With a thought, the armor immediately transformed into a streak of golden light that fell onto him, once again covering his body.
Rumble!
The vortex that had churned out Halahala did not stop. Instead, it began to spin violently, and a beam of golden light shot into the sky.
"The final Amrita!"
"It's out!"
Vishnu looked toward the Ocean of Milk. From the black, viscous great vortex, a jar radiating golden light slowly floated out along the pillar of light and rose into the air.
The gods and the Asuras all focused their eyes on the Amrita.
An eerie atmosphere hung over the Ocean of Milk.
"The Amrita is out!"
At that moment, someone shouted.
The gods and Asuras atop the Ocean of Milk all surged into motion, rushing toward the jar of Amrita.
Vishnu took a step forward, crossing countless stretches of space to appear before the Amrita.
Another terrifying figure with golden light blazing from his eyes also appeared. His enormous body stirred rolling winds and clouds, his roar thundered through the air, and his dark silhouette covered all of Mandara Mountain.
"Protector God!"
"By our agreement, this Amrita belongs to us!"
Golden-Eyed roared furiously. Anger and resentment filled his face as he reached for the jar of Amrita.
"No! Halahala was what you churned out, so it should belong to you. You simply failed to hold on to it!"
"The Amrita should belong to the gods!"
Vishnu said with a smile.
According to their agreement, Halahala was what the Asuras had churned out and should rightfully belong to them. But Golden-Eyed had run off at the time, so the Amrita that came afterward naturally belonged to the gods.
At these words, Golden-Eyed flew into a rage. He looked crazed, his black hair whipping wildly as his terrifying aura stirred enormous waves across the Ocean of Milk. Black waves soared into the heavens.
Failed to hold on to it?!
Was it because the Ocean of Milk was too deep that he could not hold on to it?
It was clearly this Protector God's fault!
"Wasn't it you who tricked me?!"
"It was you!"
Golden-Eyed roared furiously and charged forward with a punch.
Vishnu curled a finger slightly. Chakravyuha flew from his fingertip and, spinning through the air, blocked the punch.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Golden-Eyed was not easy to deal with. Even if Vishnu split off his boar incarnation, he would likely have to battle for a thousand years before killing Golden-Eyed. Besides, with so many gods here, the aftershocks of battle might spread too widely. It was not the right time to split off an incarnation.
At this moment, the gods had already rushed toward the Amrita.
Indra remained behind the gods with a large group of Gandharvas, not flying too far ahead.
After all, getting close to the Amrita was simply too conspicuous. It would certainly draw a siege from many Asuras, and Golden-Eyed might even land a punch on him.
Whoosh!
Indra watched as Vayu, at the forefront of the gods, neared the Amrita.
Vayu reached out, about to seize the jar of Amrita, but at that critical moment, his body suddenly froze.
He activated his divine power, yet he could not move.
What?!
Vayu abruptly lowered his head and saw an Asura woman of bewitching, peerless beauty emerge from his shadow. Above her slender waist, branches bore ripe fruit; her full curves swayed, dazzling the eye.
Simhika's lips curved upward as she extended her pink tongue and seductively licked the corner of her moist lips.
Her pale arm stretched out, tightly gripping Vayu's wrist within the shadow. As the shadow tugged, Vayu was instantly flung away.
"Heehee~"
Simhika laughed softly, then shot out in a flash, scooped up the jar of Amrita, and flew toward the Asura army.
"Hahaha! Simhika!"
"You did well! You did well!"
The Asura general Vipralambha threw back his head and laughed.
The Amrita was theirs!
He had not expected his wife to silently approach the jar of Amrita. Moreover, his wife Simhika possessed the blessing of controlling shadows. Under the control of shadows, even gods could not move.
"Mother! Wonderful!"
Rahu's eyes lit up among the Asura army, and he clenched his fist excitedly.
Whoosh!
Simhika flew straight toward the Asura army.
Just as Simhika was about to rush into their ranks, Chakravyuha flew from Vishnu's hand and forced Golden-Eyed back. Then golden light flashed in Vishnu's eyes, and silently, a streak of golden radiance suddenly manifested among the Asura army.
Whoosh!
A beautiful woman appeared.
