A way to survive
Krishna seemed Duryodhana against this demon Kali, whose avatar was now radiating a faint golden light— the Power of Merit.
"Do you see Arjuna? He is the god who judges all evil in the world, the final deity. With that one sword strike, all evil in the broadest sense vanished. You Hundred Sons of Dhritarashtra once acted recklessly, Dhritarashtra was incompetent and power-hungry, and Drona was also guilty... Basically, everyone who tolerated your illegal acts in that gamble has been eliminated."
But Duryodhana seemed to find it a joke. He pointed at Krishna and laughed, "You're joking with me, Krishna, you scoundrel! I've encountered such terrible things, and you still have the mind to tease me? Or are you a wicked liar trying to trick me with lies!"
Duryodhana roared angrily, looking like a furious lion, but it seemed he was just bluffing.
Krishna looked at the Duryodhana, and even felt a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Among you, only Gandhari was not judged as evil, and could escape death under this [Maha Pralaya], but at that final moment, she chose to leave the way of life to you. Duryodhana her."
Krishna slowly explained, "You should remember, right? At the last moment, she removed her blindfold, transforming her life's asceticism and merit into your protection. Therefore, you were spared from disaster, while she, because she protected you who were evil, lost her merit and was naturally classified as evil."
Upon hearing Duryodhana, Duryodhana's lips trembled uncontrollably. He instinctively wanted to deny Krishna's words, but everything indicated that Krishna was telling the truth, and he had no reason to lie to himself.
"Although I should kill you, your matter is now insignificant. I have things I must do. You should run now. The protection that Gandhari gave you has vanished, and Arjuna will never allow such evil to appear before him."
Run! Don't squander the last moments your mother gave her life for.
Krishna strode forward; he had things he needed to accomplish. Even if Darya could not remain a Duryodhana for the rest of his life, Arjuna did now.
Just as he was preparing to head to join the battle, a hand grabbed his shoulder.
Above the sky, swords danced. Arjuna and Bai Mo were in the sky. Even without activating the power of the Judgment World, the Maha Pralaya was an extremely terrifying weapon. Arjuna's power was almost unimaginable.
"Back then, the power of Shiva was almost unfathomable, but this guy in front of me not only possesses the power of all the gods, but also the power of Brahma and Vishnu from the Trimurti."
But this guy seems a bit rigid; most of his attacks are easy to predict. Is it because he's always performing adjudicative functions? Or is it...?
Bai Mo calmly analyzed Arjuna's situation. This guy's power was undoubtedly immense. In the past, Shiva alone possessed the strength of 990,000 horses and even the power to manipulate time.
However, these are not his own power, that is, the power of Arjuna himself. His body is supported by countless gods, although they are all within Arjuna's body. But to mobilize them, he naturally cannot use them as easily as a normal strong person can.
"Then, let's give it a try."
Bai Mo activated the Orca Heaven and Earth Way and the Whale Dominates the World, dodging and weaving amidst countless sword lights, quickly arriving in front of Arjuna. Arjuna gathered the spheres around his body and then snapped his fingers.
The collapsing aura swept in, followed by a massive circular energy eruption, like layers of circular saws folded together, threatening to literally obliterate Bai Mo. Faced with this attack, Bai Mo simply stretched out his hands.
"Although there are many, there is indeed a pattern among them." He let the force tear his body apart, without lowering his hands at all.
"Dark Reincarnation, go and understand it..." The next moment, the power of the Asura Way surged into it, Arjuna immediately felt an energy seeping in as if it were penetrating through the roots of the wall. Faced with all this, he simply closed his eyes.
"In vain."
Faced with Bai Mo's invasion, he directly chose the most brutal and savage method: increasing his output. While plant roots can penetrate the soil of a wall, what about a giant wall hundreds or thousands of feet thick? Just as water can extinguish a flame, a stream will only evaporate when facing an erupting volcano.
But in the next instant, Bai Mo's moves suddenly changed. The power of the Asura Way transformed into ferocious Great White Shark, even drawing upon Arjuna's power, tearing towards him. It was the Heavenly Martial Killing Way God-Severing Way.
Faced with the swarm of sharks, Arjuna felt no threat from them; he only needed to increase the power. At the same time, energy began to gather in his hand, and the Maha Pralaya began to materialize once more.
Faced with the enemy's fierce attack, this guy responded with a massive flow of energy while simultaneously preparing a deadly move; his power seemed to have no end.
"It's time to end this."
The Maha Pralaya hung over his head. The next moment, the circular saw barrier shattered, God-Severing Way Path surged forth like a raging storm. Arjuna's mind stirred, and he whispered, "Vayu."
A ball of light beside him collided with the sword, unleashing a violent gust of wind that greatly disrupted the power of the God-Severing Way. Seeing this, Arjuna raised his hand, and the Maha Pralaya shone with an overwhelming light.
But at that moment, a golden light flashed.
It was the sound of metal rubbing together, very soft and crisp. Golden light flashed at Arjuna's wrist, severing it completely. The Maha Pralaya suddenly stopped, and the power gathering ceased.
"Myoken?"
Arjuna looked at the weapon; it was none other than the Myoken Divine Wheel.
Like the Sword of Victory, this weapon possesses a degree of self-awareness. However, the difference lies in the fact that the Sword of Victory's consciousness is like that of a naive child, capable only of carrying out basic commands, and it becomes limited when faced with an invincible enemy.
However, the Myoken Divine Wheel is different. In the Srimad Bhagavatam, it is regarded as the manifestation of Vishnu's "divine glimpse" and is worshipped as a deity (Sudarshana Purusha) with its own independent will.
During the battle just now, Bai Mo attempted to communicate with the Myoken Divine Wheel, and the magical artifact quickly understood his tactics. It actively merged into Arjuna's power, like a spinning top constantly colliding with a rapidly rotating wall to accelerate itself.
Bai Mo's use of the God-Severing Way was mainly to use the killing intent of the Heavenly Martial Killing Way to cover up the actions of the Myoken Divine Wheel.
"The results look very good, Arjuna, and I seem to have discovered a flaw in you."
Hearing Bai Mo's words, Arjuna frowned. Seeing this, Bai Mo smiled and said, "Can't accept it, can you? The fact that someone as perfect as you has flaws. Arjuna, your thinking is limited, isn't it? Because you've devoured too many gods, you can hardly use even your former battle wisdom; you only have pure power."
Those things, fundamentally, cannot actually be considered your power.
"That power is enough; everything else is meaningless. When the Maha Pralaya falls, all techniques are nothing but dust."
"Perhaps, but what will you do before he falls?" Myoken Divine Wheel to Bai Mo's fingers. Bai Mo drew Beginning and End, Myoken wiped the blade as they charged towards Arjuna. Just as Arjuna was about to activate his power again to maintain the Maha Pralaya, a sudden voice rang out.
"Hey, Arjuna, you bastard, look this way!"
Surprisingly, Arjuna, who had become as mechanical as a machine, actually turned his head slowly and looked at the guy who was yelling and shouting.
