The bond of the five sons

Blood ties are an incredibly close bond, yet fate often sows discord within them. Arjuna and Karna, born of the same mother, were once adversaries in the epic. Under the influence of Bai Mo and Krishna, they finally reconciled, but even now, Arjuna and Karna remain at odds.

Bai Mo didn't hold back much from Karna, so Karna knew basically about Arjuna's affairs and also about the Arjuna before him.

He gripped his spear tightly, prepared to fight to the death the moment he stepped out of Sweetness City.

Their eyes met, and just then, the distant night began to lighten with the first hint of dawn. As if by telepathy, they raised their weapons, and without a word, they rang the bell for their duel.

Twelve beams of light, like blades, slashed towards Karna. With just a glance, Karna's brain quickly grasped the trajectory of his opponent's attack. The next moment, his body reacted first, flames emanating from the gaps in his Hell War Armor —pure external power, like a rocket booster.

"Destroy!"

Arjuna shouted, the spheres that had been releasing beams of light instantly began to expand, revealing a terrifying surge of magical power within them. It was as if twelve meteors had fallen, creating enormous mushroom clouds on the Daichi, causing the entire Daichi to tremble under this power.

The entire Hastinapura was reduced to ruins in a single move.

"Ugh..." Some unlucky souls who wanted to stay and watch the battle up close were also reduced to ashes by this move, along with Hastinapura.

The intense heat continuously turned the land into sand, and the residual heat from the explosion formed unknown crystals on the ground. Suddenly, as if a giant hand had grabbed and tightened these scorching elements, a shot was thrown out like a whirlwind, so fast that only a golden afterimage remained.

With a rustling sound, a tuft of hair fell. Arjuna turned his head away, dodging the spear aimed at his forehead. But the spear's power didn't dissipate after it was thrown; instead, it erupted even more intensely. Karna waved his hand, and the spear, as if alive, spun back into his grasp.

Arjuna turned around and saw the spear engulfed in raging flames, swirling towards him. The flames instantly consumed Arjuna, but with a flick of his finger, a water dragon burst forth from the scorched Daichi and bit into the spear.

A torrent of steam, enough to melt anyone, raged as the spear spun back into Karna's hand, accompanied by a water dragon—a manifestation of Varuna's power. The massive volume of water was compressed and rammed head-on. The Golden Armor propelled itself forward, and amidst the flashing blades, eight or nine tenths of the immense impact was dissipated. The remaining force was nothing to him, having undergone the rigorous training of Bai Mo.

His brow furrowed as he gazed at the battlefield, where a familiar power surged.

"Pashupata?"

Meanwhile, Arjuna his hand to dispel the steam, looking at the enemy before him with a fierce and thoughtful gaze.

Karna at this moment is definitely much stronger than I remember. Originally, the God-Slaying Spear required the release of the Golden Armor to be used, but Karna here doesn't have that requirement. He hasn't experienced those things, so he can use the God-Slaying Spear and the Golden Armor simultaneously.

Meanwhile, after Bai Mo altered the Golden Armor, it became woven with blades. If it encountered an attack, it would automatically resist it. If it was struck with a hammer, it would bulge out like a straw bag, using its elasticity to reduce the impact. The blunt weapon attacks that he remembered were completely ineffective.

"Not only have its weaknesses been eliminated, but it can even attack at close range. Even if someone uses joint locks or similar techniques, they will only be sliced to pieces by the Blade of Hell."

Undoubtedly the strongest spear and the strongest shield.

"That's right, but don't forget, I possess the power of all the gods, while you only have Shiva, Vishnu, and the Vishnu god. In terms of total power, the difference between you and me is like the difference between a pond and the Ganges!"

He extended his finger, and a surge of immense power coursed through him. This was the Pashupata that Arjuna had obtained from Shiva after the dice tournament, when he went to the forest. Now, he intended to use this artifact, which he had earned through his own arduous training, to deal with Karna.

The power of destruction surged continuously, and countless phantoms of gods appeared beside him, transforming into pure power. Even if he was not recognized by the gods to perform the duties of judgment, he was still one with the gods and could still drive this power to fight.

Points of light emerged, as if countless stars appeared in the sky. Then, with Arjuna's finger, the stars, like schools of fish in the deep sea, each strike capable of turning a city to ashes, fell like a meteor shower.

Karna's Kuaiji Type Zero Computing Core in his chest was operating at full capacity, quickly determining how to dodge and what to defend against. However, Arjuna's bombardment density was increasing, and at this moment, facing this pure power, speed was being suppressed by area.

"Warning: In fifteen seconds, there will be no more opportunities to dodge. In twenty seconds, the attack density will reach its maximum, and individuals will be suppressed."

The computational core of the Kuaiji Type Zero emitted a cold voice, and in the face of this attack, Karna simply took out the red gauze given to him by Draupadi, wrapped it around his arm, and the red gauze began to extend on its own, like a battle flag.

"Now it's up to you, Draupadi."

At that moment, in the Sweetness City, Draupadi slowly opened her eyes. She reached out and touched the sacrificial fire. The fire blazed fiercely, but it did not burn her. She was born from the sacrificial fire, so how could she be harmed?

"Sage Vyasa, you once said that I am the link connecting the five children."

The flames leaped into her palm, and she felt no pain, but her palm felt like it was burning with firewood.

"I was born of fire, I am life within fire. O fire, take my body, summon them, and weave their forms."

Draupadi looked at the flames, a smile gradually spreading across his face.

At the same time, the red veil in Karna's hand began to burn. He closed his eyes and let Arjuna's bombardment fall on the Golden Armor. The Golden Armor kept wailing, but it kept growing like weeds. Even though Arjuna's control of power was not perfect, it was still at the level of 990,000 horses.

Karna pressed his hand to his head, his face contorted in pain. His power was being drained from his body, but he pressed it to his head.

"It still doesn't work."

He recalled when Bai Mo had taught him, explaining the mysteries of the Bodhidharma Sutra.

"The Bodhidharma Sutra, if practiced correctly, can forge a fierce Sword of Hell, from which one is difficult to heal. If practiced in reverse, it becomes the ever-changing Asura Way. Which one do you wish to focus on?"

Due to India cultural influences, Karna did not have a favorable impression of the term "Asura Way".

"Are you sure you don't want it? The Asura Way's power and vitality are incredibly strong, and it can even advance further on the level of life itself."

"No, I don't want immortality. Immortality belongs to the gods."

Bai Mo didn't say much more about this, but instead taught him the Blade of Hell and related killing moves. During one of his training sessions, when he made some progress, Bai Mo talked to him about the strongest power of the Sword of Hell.

"Long ago, the peerless powerhouse Hell created this technique. When he was at his lowest point in life, he recalled training with his brother. In the end, he successfully created an unparalleled killing move that could split his mind in two, bringing his brother back to life. This is the Hell God of War."

Karna listened, stunned. He waved his hand and said, "Master, how can this be..."

Before he could finish speaking, three figures flashed past behind Bai Mo, and Karna's eyes widened instantly.

"Master, I want to learn this!"

However, after a long time, Karna still couldn't divide his thoughts in two. He shook his head and focused on learning about the armor.

At that time, Bai Mo said this to him:

"Even the mighty Hell God of War is still just a series of techniques, and there are shortcuts. One such shortcut is mental splitting..."

"Master, please stop. My body is almost falling apart from all this training. Please spare my mind; it's too terrifying." Karna looked terrified, to which Bai Mo shrugged.

"Well... it's not just this one way, there's another, rather special way."

"Special? More special than schizophrenia?"

Bai Mo nodded, looked up at the sky, and said with a meaningful expression, "The essence of Magnetic Field Power is the Primordial Spirit, even though your world has Underworld."

But in certain situations, when the people you love and who love you are willing to fight for you, a feeling will arise. At that time, all you need to do is trust that feeling and trust them.

However, this kind of situation might only happen once in a lifetime.

In the sky, Arjuna raised his longbow, and the power of India gods converged upon it.

"This strike will end it all. I will shatter your armor and break your spear!"

The red veil burned, the arrow shot out, dazzling like a galaxy, while the ground was merely a speck of fire. At that moment, Karna felt as if a hand had been placed on his shoulder.

Those were real souls. In this world, there was Underworld to collect souls, but at this moment, Enma of death, had been devoured by Arjuna, and the souls were no longer bound.

The Myoken Divine Wheel is spinning, echoing the war wheel of the Ashwatthama. It is the place abandoned by the Maha Pralaya of Determination, where souls that should have been left behind forever are now bound together by a bond.

Five figures appeared. The man in the lead reached out and placed his hand on Karna's shoulder, looking up at the starry sky.

"Big brother... let's go."
