Trial
A voice came from the sky, and Brahma's figure appeared in the clouds. At this moment, the Trimurti had gathered here.
He stretched out his palm, and golden light soared upwards, transforming the radiance into a dazzling sun, like a rising star breaking through the shadows of Shiva.
The Daichi beneath our feet began to change; lush green grass sprouted from the soil, and birds flew across the sky, scattering glimmers of golden light. The whole world seemed to be singing praises, celebrating this great achievement.
"What... what is going on?!" Duryodhana could open his eyes at all. Under this golden light, he even felt a sense of powerlessness to kneel down.
When faced with someone who has accumulated immeasurable merit, evil spirits often find themselves powerless.
Not only him, but also Bhima, Arjuna and others could not open their eyes. Karna, however, because he had been looking at the sun for many years and had some connection with Bai Mo, was able to barely see what was going on.
Golden light surged from beneath his master's feet, and even more dazzling was the golden wheel that appeared behind him.
On the golden wheel, countless scenes can be seen, like a painting of the floating world.
"What is this?!"
"It is merit," Vishnu replied, his eyes filled with admiration and compassion. He continued, "This is the Power of Merit, how magnificent! Even the merit of saving an entire world cannot compare to a third of his."
Bai Mo turned around, looked at the thing behind him, and couldn't help but curl his lip.
"No wonder I'm always spotted so easily. So that's what you all think I'm carrying on my back? How strange. Alright, you can come along with me."
The Power of Austerity transforms into strength. The Power of Merit transforms into blessings.
The Power of Merit is different from the Power of Austerity. It is a power that is completely under one's control. In an instant, the golden wheel transformed into a stream of light and flowed into the sky.
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
Baptism has begun; a god is born through his merits and asceticism.
Golden rain fell on Kama's forehead, and with each drop, an aura of holiness emanated from her. Kama stared blankly at Bai Mo, a single tear rolling down her cheek.
Although tears streamed down her face, she smiled, and Rati, standing in the heavenly palace, was taken aback. She had never seen Kama smile like that before; it wasn't the playful laughter of the past, nor the forced smile she wore while working.
It was a very genuine smile, with tears falling, like seeing a rainbow after a heavy rain.
But Bai Mo didn't see it; his gaze remained fixed on Shiva before him.
"What I want to do will not change; Kama must not become a new god."
"Then, Shiva, grant me the appropriate trial."
Upon hearing this, Shiva looked at Kama. This time, Kama did not look away, but returned Shiva's gaze. Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Kama clenched his fist and was about to step forward to stand in front of Bai Mo when Bai Mo raised his hand to stop him.
"Kama, finish your baptism first, then face this guy." Bai Mo didn't turn around, and the battle began the instant his words fell.
Those around them clearly felt a strong wind pressure engulfing them, followed by a deafening roar and a deafening explosion!
The clash between Beginning and End and Shiva's trident unleashed a powerful force. Shiva wielded the trident and struck Bai Mo horizontally, but Bai Mo used it to deflect the force. With a flourish of his Beginning and End, Beginning and End, like a snake climbing a stick, dodged the trident tip.
Bai Mo circled around the halberd and brought his blade down, sparks flying as Beginning and End aimed to sever Shiva's fingers that held the trident.
When Bai Mo closed in, spears and halberds were ineffective at this distance. Shiva, however, did not create any distance. A pair of arms reappeared on his back, one hand burning with black flames, blocking Beginning and End's slash.
His other hand was pale, as if it were covered with a layer of bone ash. He clenched his fist and threw it out. The mere force of the punch seemed to slice off a piece of the Daichi beneath his feet.
Three crimson lines appeared above Bai Mo's head. He held a knife in one hand and wrestled with Shiva, his Magnetic Field Power surging. He also slammed out heavily with his other hand.
Sea Tiger Exploding Fist!
The two locked eyes, both burning with fierce fighting spirit. But at the same time, they controlled the power surging into the sky, preventing it from harming the world.
The force of their punches exploded like thunder, and both men staggered back several steps. A few seconds later, their weapons fell from the sky, sparks flying everywhere. Even though they were no longer in their masters' hands, these two terrifying weapons continued to fight each other.
Upon landing, both men gripped their weapons.
"Nine hundred and ninety thousand units of power... that's not unexpected." Bai Mo examined Shiva's power, pondering to himself, "If Shiva has such power, then just how strong Arjuna?"
"Fighting here will only damage the Daichi; let's find another place."
Shiva nodded, then looked at Vishnu.
"Give me a place where we can fight without restraint, Narottama."
"No, go back to your snowy mountains, Mahadeva!"
Vishnu expressed his displeasure, clearly displeased with Shiva's actions. Shiva frowned upon hearing this and said to Vishnu, "Guardian God, do you wish for the world to be destroyed at this moment?"
"It is the responsibility of the Destroyer God to decide when the world will be destroyed. If the world is destroyed in the wrong world, then it is the Destroyer God's dereliction of duty," Vishnu said irritably.
"Are these two kids having a fight...?" Bai Mo looked at the two deities, his lips twitching, then said helplessly to Vishnu:
"Narottama, this is a city that my disciple painstakingly built, and it is also something that Kama must face." Bai Mo looked at Kama, who was still undergoing baptism not far away. At this moment, a lotus flower appeared under Kama's feet, preventing her from rushing to Bai Mo's side.
But the sacred lotus in Vishnu's hand had disappeared.
Vishnu sighed softly, then waved his hand, and milky white liquid gushed out from the open space in the distance.
"Fight here. This place is large enough to withstand the destruction caused by your fighting. This is the Ocean of Milk."
Bai Mo and Shiva exchanged a glance, then flew towards the Ocean of Milk. The moment they landed, the battle erupted. Shiva threw his trident, and Bai Mo flicked his finger, causing the Sword of Victory behind him to collide with the trident.
Sparks flew Sword of Victory barely withstood the power of the trident, its strength steadily waning.
"You think I have no chance of winning, huh? This thing is really..."
Bai Mo pursed his lips, but the Sword of Victory had bought enough time. A black and white trench coat appeared on his body, and his power surged once again.
Orca Tyrant Fist!
Shiva spread his four arms and, with a wrestling motion, seized Bai Mo's arm, avoiding the brute force of the Orca Tyrant Fist. Shiva himself was a veteran of countless battles, and he often lived as a wild man. Although his skills had no formal training, his main approach was to remain unchanged in the face of any change.
But that's not Bai Mo's purpose.
Bai Mo bent his arm and landed his elbow on Shiva's chest, completely ignoring Shiva's other arms that were attacking.
The Magnetic Field Power is like a vortex, contracting layer by layer, which is the Ryougi Heaven-Imprisoning Enkidu.
Shiva, in a horse stance with his back bent, unleashed a force of 989,000 horses, blasting Bai Mo away with a single blow.
Bai Mo's body landed on the Ocean of Milk Ocean of Milk, causing the waves to surge a thousand feet high, but he dissipated the force. He fell onto the sea like a leaf, circulating the Ryougi Lataib and the Asura Way, transforming into the powerful force of Shiva.
"Drink!"
With a roar, Shiva's trident returned to his hand, and two more arms sprouted from his back, gripping the trident tightly. In the blink of an eye, the arms expanded, and a giant appeared from behind Shiva.
His entire body was pitch black, and his face was contorted with rage.
It was the same Shiva avatar that Bai Mo had seen before, the God of Great Terror. The God of Great Terror raised his enormous trident and thrust it down from the sky, as if killing a fish.
"Hmph." Bai Mo snorted coldly, and Laevateinn hovered in front of him, blocking the attack. The burning greatsword burst into flames. Bai Mo's fingers moved like lightning, drawing Rune Runes that flowed into Laevateinn.
Raven Runes appeared, carrying a series of commands as it entered.
Runes transformed into a chain, raven into thought, and finally, Bai Mo injected his immense Magnetic Field Power into Laevateinn.
"Roar!" The greatsword roared, and with Runes's assistance, it unleashed the full power of this world-destroying sword. In an instant, Laevateinn transformed into a greatsword the same size as the trident.
A giant engulfed in flames appeared, grasped Laevateinn, and slashed down at the God of Great Terror with his giant sword.
Two giants were fighting on the Ocean of Milk; the scene was like the end of the world.
