"Golden Bed, you truly are the Asura King, seeing through my plan so easily!"

Indra said with a serious expression, nodding earnestly.

Golden Bed gritted his teeth, his expression a mixture of shock and anger. His eyelids twitched like taut bowstrings, and his fists were clenched so tightly they trembled uncontrollably.

Capturing Indra now wouldn't be a problem.

The problem was the time it would take!

The Amrita's blessing on the gods was powerful, and being in the Heavenly Realm, he had time to capture Indra. But by then, the Earth Realm might have already been turned upside down.

What's more, his son, Prahlad, was already in the Devraj's hands.

Finally, Golden Bed lowered his head and released his hands.

"What do you want?!"

Golden Bed's voice was icy as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Indra's lips curved upwards, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This guy actually agreed!

Indra pondered for a moment before saying, "Golden Bed! I admire your strength and fearlessness. I believe we should have a fair and honorable battle to decide the fate of the Heavenly Realm."

Golden Bed's eyes lit up at this, a flicker of eagerness showing.

"However!"

"Not now!"

Indra waved his hand, smiling.

"Release Vayu, Agni, and the Gandharvas, and I will order Soma and Rahu in the Earth Realm to withdraw their armies and release your wife."

Indra said.

"How can we trust you? What if you don't release her?"

Sukra, clutching the Serpent Cane, immediately asked.

Indra clasped his hands together, his eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable as he said, "I can swear upon the Supreme Lord Vishnu that I will not harm your wife or son in any way today."

"I swear by the glory of the gods!"

Indra declared.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Golden Bed suddenly raised his hand, his voice ringing out powerfully, cutting off Indra's words. His gaze was sharp and fixed on Indra, making Indra feel uneasy.

Did he see through it?

Indra muttered inwardly, his divine power surging, ready to flee at any moment.

Hmph!

Golden Bed snorted coldly, his expression displeased, and he gritted his teeth.

"Change it. Change it to Brahma!"

"And if you break your oath, I want you to immediately relinquish the position of Devraj."

Golden Bed's eyes were icy as he spoke coldly.

Indra and Vishnu were the murderers of his elder brother.

To submit to Indra today was already a profound insult to his dignity. If Vishnu were to be the witness, it would be an insult upon an insult.

Brahma?

It seemed Golden Bed didn't trust Vishnu.

"I, Indra, will never break my oath!"

Indra was silent for a moment, then nodded quietly, raising his palm towards the sky.

"If that is the case, then I swear to Brahma that if Golden Bed releases Vayu, Agni, and the Heavenly Realm's armies today, I will not harm Golden Bed's wife and son today, and I will have my armies withdraw from the Earth Realm today, causing no harm to the Asuras of the Earth Realm."

"Otherwise, I will relinquish the position of Devraj!"

His voice boomed, like thunder, echoing throughout the Heavenly Realm.

Golden Bed let out a breath, his heart settling.

He slowly raised his hand as well and spoke.

"If Indra fulfills his promise, I will also release Vayu, Agni, and the other gods, as well as the Heavenly Realm's armies. If I break my oath, may I die at the hands of my enemies."

Golden Bed's voice was indifferent.

In the Brahma Realm.

Brahma sat cross-legged on a lotus, a smile on his face. He looked down at the Heavenly Realm below, listening to the words of Golden Bed and Indra.

Someone actually remembered me, the creator god, and wants me as a witness.

He was still very happy!

But Indra didn't have any large armies in the mortal realm; they were all in his Heavenly Realm.

Especially Rahu, who was actually enjoying himself!

Brahma's gaze shifted slightly, and he glanced at the many divine cities that had appeared in the Heavenly Realm. The Gandharvas had gradually restored order and continued their guard duties.

Within one of the divine palaces, among many guards.

Rahu's eyes were wide open with joy as he stared intently at the dancing celestial maidens, all while using his tail to hold a wine goblet and drink the fine wine.

The fine wine dripped sporadically from his empty neck, but his face was flushed and his eyes were hazy with intoxication, it was unclear if he was drunk from the Soma wine or the beauties.

"Hahaha! This is great, I really love the Heavenly Realm!"

Rahu laughed heartily.

Swish!

Brahma withdrew his gaze, a thought crossing his mind.

Rumble!

The clouds of the Heavenly Realm converged, forming swirling and unpredictable patterns. Above the Heavenly Realm, Brahma's massive illusory form condensed.

Ordinary oaths naturally wouldn't require his personal appearance, but between the Devraj and the Golden Bed, he had to be more serious.

"As you wish!"

Brahma's voice echoed throughout the Heavenly Realm, the reverberations lingering for a long time.

The black clouds gradually dispersed, the darkness receded, and under Surya's illumination, everything was clear and bright.

"Begone!"

The Golden Bed waved his hand and spoke.

As soon as his words fell, the divine power ropes binding Vayu and Agni instantly snapped. The two stumbled and fled in panic towards Indra.

Following them were their respective mounts, the antelope and the white ram, which leaped and flew towards the gods.

The last to follow was the vast army of Gandharvas.

The Golden Bed stared coldly at Indra and let out a low growl.

"I will definitely defeat you next time!"

"Mm, next time for sure!"

"I will absolutely win!"

"Mm, definitely!"

Indra replied perfunctorily.

Hmph!

The next moment, the Golden Bed snorted coldly. He turned his head, his expression gloomy, and with displeased anger, he led his army and marched mightily towards the mortal realm.

Indra stood straight, like the unmoving Mandara Mountain, quietly watching the Asuras fly away from the mortal realm.

Vayu and Agni also returned with the many Gandharva armies.

"I didn't expect Soma to have gone to the mortal realm with Rahu. No wonder I didn't see Soma."

I thought he had gone to the human realm to meet a woman. I really misunderstood him!

Vayu looked shocked.

"The Devraj shouldn't have agreed to them. Since they can't kill us, Soma could have just wiped out the mortal realm."

Agni sighed.

"That makes sense!"

Surya nodded, his eyes lighting up.

The gods gathered, reviewing their previous tactics.

At this moment, Narada tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and gently strummed his Veena, revealing a profound smile.

"Hey! What if we take advantage of the Asuras' return and launch a surprise attack on their army?"

"We are not bound by the oaths of the Devraj and the Golden Bed."

Narada reminded them.

"But what about the Golden Bed?"

Vayu asked.

"The Devraj will deal with him!"

Narada chuckled.

"!!!"

Upon hearing Narada's words, the gods felt a flash of inspiration, their hearts itching with anticipation.

This plan is actually feasible!

The Devraj just needs to keep the Golden Bed occupied.

If the gods then attack together, they will have the ability to surprise and destroy this army of Asuras. Moreover, since they are the ones attacking, it has no relation to the Gandharva army in the mortal realm and will not involve the oath.

"Devraj!"

"What do you think?"

Surya turned to ask.

His gaze reflected a streaking silhouette, crossing the void and charging straight towards the Brahma Realm.

"Why aren't you running?!"

"There's no army in the mortal realm!"

Only a roar remained in the gods' ears, echoing for a long time.

The gods were slightly stunned.

No army?

No army!!!

This is bad!

"Aruna!"

Surya's pupils contracted. He immediately turned, moving like the wind, even faster than Vayu, and lunged towards the Sun Chariot, shouting at the God of Dawn.

Aruna already understood.

With a flick of the reins!

With a crack, the steeds neighed, the wheels rolled, and they began to speed off.

"If there's no army, what happens when the Asuras return?"

"This is bad!"

The gods and the Gandharva army also reacted.

The gods, one by one, lunged towards the Sun Chariot and squeezed onto it.

Fortunately, the Sun Chariot's radiance was like ropes and threads, as if tangible.

More Gandharvas clung to the chariot's radiance like they were climbing a train, like pulling ropes, vast and mighty, like a hanging Milky Way, rushing towards the Brahma Realm.

"Slow down!"

"Wait for me!"

"Count me in!"

Aruna's pupils trembled. Looking at the stumbling divine horses, his heart was filled with dread.

The time had come to test his driving skills!

This is a high-stakes game!
