Varaha's tusks reached the heavens.

Sharp, chilling light surged upward, piercing through the clouds and empty space before striking Golden-Eyed in the neck.

Golden-Eyed's invincible body, which nothing in the world could ever harm, became as fragile as an infant's in that moment. The skin on his neck instantly caved in and tore apart layer by layer. With a thunderous boom, blood burst through the air, turning into a sky full of crimson mist.

Torrential blood rain fell from the heavens, dyeing the Human Realm red.

Boom!

The giant hammer crashed down and sank into the earth.

Golden-Eyed's face was splattered with blood. His expression twisted in agony as he violently shoved Varaha away, clutched his neck with one hand, and staggered backward.

For the first time, he felt his life slipping away!

He was going to die!

He refused to accept this!

Golden-Eyed suddenly turned his head. His furious, despairing golden gaze shot over and locked firmly onto Indra.

No!

He still had one last shred of hope!

"Amrita! Amrita!"

"Give me Amrita!"

Golden-Eyed's roar shook the heavens as blood poured from him without end. His giant hand shot forward, and terrifying crimson storm clouds swirled across billions of yojanas. Mountains shattered, the earth collapsed, and a hopeless scene of apocalypse unfolded.

This fellow still had strength left!

Indra's expression changed. Looking at the giant hand already upon him, he pulled out the Vajra Pestle as divine power surged wildly through him.

Whoosh!

Azure Halahala Poison writhed like mad serpents over the Golden Solar God Armor, coiling around the Vajra Pestle. Lightning gathered at its tip, condensed into a single point, and burst forth with a thunderous blast.

Azure poisonous light intertwined with lightning, instantly enveloping Golden-Eyed's entire body and leaping up and down across him.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Golden-Eyed clutched his head with both hands and threw his head back in a pained roar, scattering the boundless blood clouds. The excruciating pain nearly drove him completely mad.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Varaha strode forward in great steps, his tusks thrusting fiercely through Golden-Eyed's back and piercing his heart.

At that moment, Priest Sage and the other gods finally hurried to the Human Realm.

The shattered earth, broken mountains and rivers, and blood mist filling the sky nearly made them unable to recognize this as the Human Realm. Yet the enormous Golden-Eyed and Varaha in the distance, along with the heaven-shaking lightning blasting through the air, all made clear that they were the cause of this devastation.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Priest Sage looked at Varaha. In the reflection of his eyes, golden light radiated from the boar-man's body, and Supreme Lord Vishnu's smiling figure appeared within that light.

In an instant, Priest Sage saw Supreme Lord Vishnu's figure within this boar incarnation and learned the incarnation's name.

"This is..."

"Supreme Lord Vishnu's aura. This is the Supreme Lord's incarnation—Varaha!"

"It must have been the Heavenly Emperor and Varaha joining forces to defeat Golden-Eyed!"

Priest Sage cried out in shock.

The other gods also stared at the scene in astonishment.

The Heavenly Emperor stood holding the Vajra Pestle, his lightning-wreathed figure reflected in the gods' eyes.

"What a brave and fearless figure. Even Golden-Eyed could not withstand the Heavenly Emperor's divine power!"

Vayu's face was full of admiration.

As the gods' vanguard, he felt honored as well and could not help sighing. "Hey! Do you think the Heavenly Emperor flew off on Airavata earlier because he intended to lure Golden-Eyed here, to the Supreme Lord's incarnation?"

Surya looked doubtful.

No way, right?

Had the Heavenly Emperor truly planned this?

Based on what he knew of Indra, Indra could be impulsive, arrogant, and quick-tempered, but when facing someone he could not defeat, he also knew when to run.

Unless Indra had absolute confidence!

Confidence?

Surya swayed slightly, straightened his back, and a gleam flashed through his eyes.

Could it be my divine armor?

Surya chuckled, a look of pride and delight appearing on his face.

"Hehe!"

"That's right. The Golden Solar God Armor absorbed the Halahala and became incredibly powerful."

Surya nodded lightly, deliberately emphasizing the words "Golden Solar God Armor."

"Everything was under the Heavenly Emperor's control!"

Agni nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that must be it!"

Varuna said.

Soma paused slightly, then nodded.

Since everyone said so, it had to be true. The Heavenly Emperor must have planned this long ago, playing Golden-Eyed in the palm of his hand.

"So the Heavenly Emperor had already made plans!"

Hearing the gods' words, Priest Sage's eyes lit up as he took out a pen and began recording.

"The Heavenly Emperor followed the guidance of the Vedas and lured the Asura King Golden-Eyed into the Human Realm, allowing Supreme Lord Vishnu's incarnation Varaha to be born smoothly. With the two joining forces..."

Priest Sage's pen danced across the page.

Elsewhere.

Golden-Eyed widened his bloodshot golden eyes and glared fixedly at Indra. His body trembled, and he had only one last breath remaining.

"Golden Bed will avenge me!"

"Avenge me!"

Boom!

Golden-Eyed crashed to the ground.

Rumble!

The tremendous impact echoed throughout the Human Realm, and Golden-Eyed's corpse covered the earth.

Varaha smiled.

He pressed his palms together and bowed slightly to Indra.

"Praise Indra!"

"Thank you for your guidance!"

Varaha smiled faintly, then bent down, grabbed Golden-Eyed's corpse, and strode toward the Ocean of Milk.

His enormous footsteps crossed the Human Realm.

The gods watched in surprise, unable to understand what Varaha intended to do.

"I'll go take a look!"

Vayu said.

Above the Ocean of Milk.

The Asuras looked up one after another, terror on their faces. They too sensed the changes in the Netherworld. The power ruling over everything in the Netherworld was fading.

"Golden-Eyed is dead!"

"The king is dead!"

"Could the king have been killed by the gods?!"

Terrified cries rang out from the Asura army. The situation instantly reversed, and the Asura army that had once been able to suppress the Gandharvas began to collapse at once.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Varaha carried Golden-Eyed's corpse and crashed down into the Ocean of Milk.

At that moment, every Asura saw their arrogant king thrown toward them like a piece of trash. Countless Asuras were swept into the Ocean of Milk by the massive waves.

"Run!"

"Quick, flee!"

The Asura army instantly scattered.

Prahlad's eyes flickered, and a flash of delight crossed his face.

Golden-Eyed was finally dead!

Golden-Eyed's twin brother Golden Bed was still undergoing austerities, and Vajra Body was an idiot. As long as he tricked Vajra Body into undergoing austerities too, the Daitiya clan would be left without anyone.

His miserable days were finally coming to an end.

He was tired of being the Danava King. It was time to take another step upward!

Asura King sounded quite good!

"Retreat!"

Prahlad waved his hand and hurriedly called to the Asura army around him.

The Asura army retreated in chaos.

"Rahu! Rahu!"

Simhika cried out frantically, calling her son's name.

Amid the chaotic battlefield of the Ocean of Milk, Rahu had vanished. She could not find any trace of her son.

"Quick, go!"

Vipralambha grabbed Simhika's wrist tightly and pulled her away.

"Husband, but Rahu..."

Simhika froze where she stood.

Vipralambha's gaze was deep as he stared intently at Simhika.

"We can have another son if he's gone, but if you're gone, I'll have nothing!"
