Roar! Roar! Roar!

Golden-Eyed's furious roars shook the Human Realm.

His colossal body, vast enough to hold up the heavens and crush the earth, blotted out the sky and sun as it charged toward Indra amid black hurricanes. Every step shook the earth and shattered tectonic plates.

Indra turned atop the elephant's back, his gaze sharpening as he watched the gigantic figure rush toward him.

He unleashed his divine power!

The Golden Solar God Armor gathered its radiance, firing a straight beam of azure poison light at the massive face within the sea of clouds.

Aah!!!

A furious cry of agony echoed across the heavens.

Golden-Eyed let out a hoarse, pained scream that shook the thunder and stirred the storms. His enormous form crashed down, half-kneeling upon the earth.

Rumble!

With one sweep of his huge hand, he tore apart mountains and rivers. Massive earthquakes roared without end as ranges spanning tens of thousands of yojanas were torn from the ground and hurled at Indra.

The Golden Solar God Armor flashed.

Poisonous light swept forth from the divine armor. The mountains crashing toward him decayed and withered beneath the Halahala Poison, their rocky bodies turning to smoke and ash.

Boom!

Golden-Eyed leaped at that moment, using the mountains as cover to appear before Indra. His terrifying giant fist descended from the sky.

Indra's expression shifted as he leaned back slightly and unleashed his divine power again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Azure poison light burst forth. Tens of thousands of toxic pillars shot out, falling like raindrops upon Golden-Eyed's chest in an instant.

Golden-Eyed was simply too huge. There was barely any need to aim; every beam of poison light struck his body directly.

Boom!

Golden-Eyed's eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted in agony. His massive body crashed to the ground, and he rolled about while clutching his chest, his painful roars echoing through the Three Realms.

"Indra!"

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

The earth trembled, and his roars reverberated across the entire world.

A terrifying sound of tearing rang across the land. Golden-Eyed plunged both hands into the earth, palms facing the sky, intending to flip the ground over and hurl it at Indra.

Indra's eyelid twitched.

A streak of golden light suddenly flew from the earth, transforming into a delicate and beautiful figure.

Her features were gentle and lovely, her black hair falling smoothly over her left shoulder and brushing across her ample curves. Her figure was especially exquisite, full of charm beneath her long golden dress.

Earth Goddess Shemi!

Goddess Shemi tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes blinking as she revealed a frail, pitiful expression. Pressing her hands together, she pleaded.

"O brave and fearless great Heavenly Emperor!"

"Your power is boundless, and your divine radiance is infinite. You have made Golden-Eyed suffer and bow against the earth!"

"He cannot be allowed to destroy the earth. Please eliminate him!"

Earth Goddess Shemi said.

Golden-Eyed was causing such destruction upon the earth of the Human Realm that, as the Earth Goddess, she immediately felt its pain.

Indra: "..."

Beautiful goddess, did you ask the wrong person?

Indra did not want to speak.

Although his Sun God Armor could make Golden-Eyed collapse in pain, it could not kill him. She had found the wrong person. She should have sought a boar.

A boar?!

He could ask Vishnu!

A thought flashed through Indra's mind.

He nodded slightly to the Earth Goddess and said, "As you wish!"

Earth Goddess Shemi looked at him with hope in her eyes, blinking happily at Indra.

The next moment, Indra pressed his hands together, cleared his throat, and looked toward the sky as he called out, "Supreme Lord, through my ascetic practice, I have gained the wisdom of the Vedas and realized Golden-Eyed's weakness. Please descend in your boar avatar and subdue Golden-Eyed!"

The Vedas!

This scripture represented the wisdom of the universe. It was knowledge, and it was enlightenment.

It was the evolution of Brahman, an eternal existence.

Whoosh!

Vishnu manifested in the sky, wearing a kingly crown and golden robes. The Jostubha gemstone on his chest glimmered, and his four arms shone with divine light.

Vishnu looked at Indra in surprise.

He had just been about to act when Indra warmly invited him. The Heavenly Emperor truly understood his heart.

Vishnu smiled faintly, his eyes like blooming lotus petals. He raised his right hand slightly, his palm aimed at Indra.

"As you wish!"

Dazzling golden light descended from Vishnu's palm like a rain of fiery flowers, drifting slowly toward the earth.

Oink! Oink! Oink!

A series of grunts rang out across the land.

A sturdy boar piglet appeared upon the earth. It grew with the wind, its body swelling in an instant. The mountains beneath its feet became smaller and smaller, while its back gradually straightened and its limbs lengthened, turning it into a giant with a boar's head and a human body.

"I! Am! Va! Ra! Ha!"

Varaha threw back his head and shouted.

Vishnu's boar avatar, Varaha, had descended into the world to eradicate Golden-Eyed.

"I've come to kill you, Golden-Eyed!"

Varaha's boar tusks gleamed coldly. Taking great strides across mountains and rivers, he charged confidently toward Golden-Eyed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His footsteps were like evening drums and morning bells, shaking the earth.

Golden-Eyed straightened up, glaring fiercely at Indra before turning toward the suddenly appearing Varaha. A ruthless, arrogant expression appeared on his face.

Hearing the other's boastful words, he could not help but sneer.

"Even the Heavenly Emperor's Halahala cannot kill me!"

"Who dares kill me? Who can kill me?!"

Golden-Eyed spread his arms and roared.

His violent voice shattered mountain peaks and collapsed endless masses of earth and stone into flying ash.

"I can kill you!"

Varaha roared. His five fingers, each like a celestial pillar, clenched abruptly as he raised a fist and smashed it toward Golden-Eyed's exposed chest.

Rumble!

Golden-Eyed's limbs spread wide as he was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into the earth.

In an instant, the ground caved in. Golden-Eyed's entire face twisted in pain. Looking down, he saw his Golden Armor shattered and a clear fist mark imprinted upon his chest.

"What?!"

"What are you?!"

Golden-Eyed braced himself and rose to his feet, staring at the monster before him with terror and fury.

He had actually been injured!

His blessing had been broken!

"I am not a god, not an Asura, not a human, nor a creation of Brahma!"

"I am the boar created by Supreme Lord Vishnu!"

Varaha said deeply.

Having said that, he immediately sprinted toward Golden-Eyed.

"I'll kill you!" Golden-Eyed's face twisted in horror, his eyes nearly splitting apart. Golden light flashed in his hand as he conjured a massive hammer and charged at Varaha.

Varaha also conjured a massive hammer and smashed it forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent sounds resounded throughout the Human Realm. Mountains collapsed, and the earth itself seemed to be breaking apart beneath their feet.

Goddess Shemi held her hands against her chest, pressing them into the valley between her breasts. Her delicate face was full of worry, and her body trembled with the shaking earth.

Indra slowly walked before Goddess Shemi and supported her slender white arm, his hand touching her soft, snow-like skin. He said gently, "Let's move farther away. We must not hinder the Supreme Lord from carrying out Dharma."

Trumpet!

Airavata raised his trunk high at the side and let out an impassioned cry.

"Can Varaha defeat Golden-Eyed?"

Goddess Shemi asked worriedly.

Indra blinked and nodded. "Don't worry!"

"Throughout ancient and modern warfare, the tactics of pigs have repeatedly been put to successful use. Once a pig attacks, it presses its rear against a wall, leaving you unable to grab its tail and helpless against it. If you're not careful, its sharp teeth might even bite you and refuse to let go!"

Indra spoke with great confidence, patting Shemi's elegantly curved back to soothe the Earth Goddess.

Shemi listened as well.

Of course, Shemi was not the only one who heard those words. Boar Varaha heard them too.

"The Heavenly Emperor has great insight!"

Varaha's eyes lit up as he exclaimed in delight.

There was nothing behind him to press against, but he could still use his sharp tusks to gore his enemy.

Boom!

Varaha blocked Golden-Eyed's strike with a hammer.

He thrust his head forward. His boar tusks gleamed with cold light as they stabbed out in an instant.
