Flaws

On the Pandavas arrived in Sweetness City, Yudhishthira was invited by Karna to his palace, where a dice game was set up in the very center.

Upon seeing this, Yudhishthira laughed.

"Oh, friend, how did you know my only hobby? Come on, let's treat it as a long-awaited pastime."

Bai Mo, who overheard Yudhishthira's words upstairs, slapped himself in the face.

"This won't do."

Kama seemed quite interested, revealing a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"This guy looks so handsome, how could he have such a hobby?"

"This is arguably his biggest weakness, and also his most fatal flaw." Bai Mo shook his head helplessly. He had Karna test the Yudhishthira precisely for this reason.

In legend, Yudhishthira was fond of gambling, which led to the greatest tragedy in the entire Mahabharata —the endless sari. After the Pandavas held a royal sacrifice, Duryodhana saw the luxurious city and became envious.

So he joined forces with his uncle, Shakuni, to hold a dice tournament, in which Yudhishthira lost everything.

Even Draupadi was on this, in full view of everyone, having her clothes stripped Dushasana by her brother, Duryodhana. The gods then wrapped Draupadi in a red sari to prevent her from being humiliated.

Bai Mo could only sigh, thankfully he had trained Karna in advance. Although Karna Yudhishthira and talented, in his heart, a king or leader should not have such a hobby. What was worse, this guy was incredibly bad at gambling but also had a huge addiction.

And to make matters worse, in this guy's eyes, the so-called Dharma is sacred and inviolable; he'd accept defeat if he lost. If he were the type to smash someone's face with a chessboard after losing a bet, Bai Mo wouldn't have completely given up on him.

While Wang may seem to follow the rules in every word and action, he actually needs to be very flexible.

"Forget it, we've already made so many arrangements, there's no way that such a thing could happen. Just tell Karna later that gambling of any kind is prohibited in Sweetness City."

Bai Mo withdrew his senses and stopped paying attention to what was happening here. In such a short time, Yudhishthira had already lost all his chips.

"Haha, Karna, you're really something! Let's have another round, I haven't had enough yet."

"No, actually I've never played dice before. It's just that your skills are terrible, and I'm not really interested in it anyway. How about we call it a night?"

Karna's words left Yudhishthira amused and exasperated, and in the end, he could only give up.

After finishing, Karna returned the chessboard he had borrowed from the others. He had absolutely no interest in gambling. Although he was the son of a coachman, his parents had also struggled in the lower classes and naturally would not allow Karna to touch such things.

Today, apart from Yudhishthira, everyone else got a good night's sleep, something they hadn't done in a long time.

Kama did not go there either. He tiptoed to the sacrificial site and looked at the tools scattered all over the ground. It was clear that the country was preparing for a grand sacrifice.

"Seriously, what on earth is going on?"

"Why can't you just ask me directly? You'll make people think you're a thief."

The sudden sound startled Kama. She glared angrily at Bai Mo, who was leaning against the window. Bai Mo looked at Kama with a helpless expression. This guy was indeed acting suspiciously, coming here alone at night.

"Cough cough, isn't it all because you guys have been doing things behind my back without telling me?"

"Didn't I already say that to your face? You were asleep, weren't you?"

Bai Mo pursed her lips, while Kama showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. She tossed her waist-length hair, which shone with an amethyst-like luster under the moonlight.

"A girl who appears decadent on the surface but actually knows everything—that's what makes her mysterious."

"Is this why you broke into this place in the middle of the night?"

Kama looked away, Bai Mo sighed helplessly. He then gestured for her to come in and pass through a door covered by Runes. Behind the door were scrolls of books with fresh writing on them, as if they had just been written.

"What is this? Documents? A profile of Durga Parvati? Why would you be interested in something like this?"

Kama looked displeased. Her dislike for Parvati was obvious, and seeing that Bai Mo was actually investigating this guy made her angry.

"Master, what do you mean? Are you cheating on me?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Bai Mo smacked Kama on the head with the book in Kama hand, then flipped through the pages. The information was provided by Krishna, about aspects of the gods.

In India mythology, the gods have different aspects. For example, Parvati is the goddess of the Himalayas, but she also has a form known as Durga "The Inaccessible Mother."

In this world, gods can be created. To put it simply, the wrath of the gods can give birth to Durga, and they can also be created directly through Brahma's request.

"Wait, you mean... you want to create a god?"

"I can't believe it," Kama asked, and Bai Mo nodded. For a moment, Kama froze on the spot. If anyone else had said that to her, she would have thought they were crazy.

But looking at everything around her, and Bai Mo Kama's understanding of Hakumo, she realized that she was serious about Master.

"That Lostbelt Arjuna was completely unified, but once he lost a part, he could no longer be called complete. A city wall made of countless bricks and stones will no longer be indestructible if one piece is missing from the inside."

Moreover, if there were a god who could protect this city, it would be a good thing for these people, since I can't stay here forever."

Bai Mo looked at the city in the distance. The city was still thriving at the moment, but with the passage of time, it would eventually become nothing more than a corner of history.

But at least when these gods are still willing to do something, we can still borrow their power.

"So... what are you planning to do? Create a god? Or..." Kama's little hands fidgeted as she rubbed her hair, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she said, "Create a profile of a certain deity?"

"I don't know. I'm going to consult Parvati; maybe she knows something about the future. If that doesn't work, I can try looking for Ganesha."

"Hey, there's a god standing right in front of you, why are you going after that Parvati guy?!"

Kama was somewhat annoyed; her cheeks flushed red, and she stomped her foot on the stone floor with a crisp sound. Bai Mo, on the other hand, wore a subtle smile, making Kama wonder if he was teasing her.

"Didn't you say you weren't interested?"

"Who knew you guys were talking about this... To me, this... no, I mean I know a lot about these things. Isn't it normal for Servant to share some knowledge with you?"

Kama immediately adopted a very reliable demeanor.
