A glimpse in the mirror

"Wait a minute, didn't you see this? This thing on my head."

Kama shouted in frustration, trying to break free from Bai Mo's grasp, but Bai Mo's hand seemed cast in bronze and iron, making it impossible for her to escape. Bai Mo then said with a hint of confusion in her eyes:

"Of course I saw it, the beast crown."

"You still look so nonchalant when I see you. This thing is the Beast's crown, not some paper crown you get with your birthday cake! I'm currently thinking about Beast's transformation."

"Oh."

"Oh my god! I am now the enemy of Human Order, the larva of a beast, and I am transforming!"

This topic was already outdated during the time of the Ooku period.

Bai Mo's expression seemed to be asking Kama: Why are you saying something you already knew? Kama was momentarily at a loss, and lowered his head helplessly.

"You're making me look like a fool for making sacrifices. I'm going to turn back into the Demon King I used to be, the disruptor of my ascetic training. How can I possibly stay on your side like that?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo showed a thoughtful expression. After a short while, he suddenly clapped his hands and said with some surprise and delight, "I've got it! I've figured out how to deal with that Arjuna! Ah, so that's what it means!"

Kama suddenly felt like she couldn't keep up with Bai Mo's train of thought, while Bai Mo unceremoniously grabbed her hand and was about to take her away with him.

"You bastard! Are you planning to betray Human Order? You're actually going to team up with beasts..."

"Huh? When have I ever pledged Human Order? I don't even have a cooperative relationship with that guy, do I?"

Bai Mo reached out and touched the beast-shaped crown on Kama's head.

"Don't overthink it, you idiot. When I accepted you as my comrade, didn't I know you were the Beast?"

"Since that's the case... you still... I'm no longer the protector of the oppressed..."

"You were the same when we first made the contract, you idiot. Didn't I tell you? Whether it's the god of protection for the oppressed or the god of love, in the end it's all Kama, isn't it?"

My Servant is a being named Kama, not some random god.

Bai Mo half-forcefully pulled Kama along, leading her all the way towards the battlefield.

Hearing this, a warm feeling welled up inside her, and the strength in her hands gradually diminished. Like a shy girl, she muttered things like, "Why are you like this..." but her body no longer resisted.

"And how do you know you're not the protector of the oppressed? You came here so that I could go back to fight Arjuna, and for those who would be wiped out by Arjuna, didn't you?"

To do something like this is truly worthy of that divine position. Even if you lose it, it will still remain for you.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Kama's eyes, but reason told her that it was impossible.

"They'll say nice things at times like this... Where do you get your confidence?"

Bai Mo stretched out his hand, his Magnetic Field Power flickering slightly. He turned back to Kama with a smile and said, "There's no reason, but I just have this confidence. Perhaps in your world, there is also something similar to a life consciousness."

When you make a choice and are ready to act, life will choose you.

Bai Mo's words carried a resolute confidence. He looked back, and although his gaze was empty, he could sense that something was present.

"Is it Mara?"

Bai Mo spoke slowly, Kama nodded slightly. Then, Bai Mo smiled and patted her shoulder.

"That's good, Kama. Even Mara is trying to interfere with you, which proves that you're on the right path now."

Upon hearing this, Kama's resistance completely vanished. Bai Mo turned around and coldly said to Mara, "Alright, that's enough for you."

Kama is different from you. She went astray due to an accident, unlike someone like you who willingly fell into depravity. You can continue to wallow in your own depravity; she has a better future ahead of her."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of light erupted. Under that radiance, Kama heard only Mara's unwilling roar.

When she returned, the existence of Mara had indeed disappeared, but the divine position of the god of protection of the oppressed, and the brilliant Power of Austerity, had not dissipated and still stood there.

Mara, the enemy of Shakyamuni, is the one who tempts ascetics to fall into depravity.

He did not come to her because Kama had lost her divine position; he appeared there to obstruct and prevent her from taking the right path.

His words were all meant to provoke Kama, to make her revert to being the demon queen. The fact that Kama returned here now, with Mara's disappearance and his furious roar of resentment, was proof of this.

After that, before Bai Mo could say anything more, Bhishma told Kama Kama the Prajapatya Astra that Bishma had given him and his own speculations. He instructed Kama to quickly go and find Kunti, while he himself would go and confront Arjuna, rendering him powerless.

That's how it happened afterward.

At that moment, Kama felt the light, he murmured, "I really didn't expect this... I thought I was really going to lose it."

"If you run away as Arjuna said, you will truly lose it. There is a trade-off; if you cling to the divine position itself, you will lose it."

Bai Mo closed her eyes and whispered to Kama. Kama also looked up at the sky. This time, the golden light did not transform into armor on her body, but completely merged into her body.

Vishnu is not reincarnated repeatedly because of his position as a protector god, but because of his actions, which are why he is called a protector god.

"I only understand now... I'm really something."

Kama reached out and stroked Bai Mo's hair, whispering, "Why am I only meeting you now..."

"Is it your own social problem?"

"Having you as my Master is enough, and besides, I still really want to go and give Indra a good beating."

"Yes, I support you, and I believe many gods will support you as well."

The two returned to Sweetness City. The void in the sky was being gradually filled. The world had undergone tremendous changes, but at least it would continue to move forward.

In the void, a surge of azure magic flowed, and gradually, a radiant light, like the shimmering surface of a lake, bloomed. Behind that light stood a dark blue figure on a throne.

In the void, Demon Mara, who had just lost his target, was itching with anger. Suddenly, he sniffed the air and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

"Another ascetic? No, something seems off... Never mind, I must go immediately..."

Behind the shimmering lake, the figure on the throne murmured to himself:

"I underestimated Chaldea; they've even had their spacetime disrupted more than once... According to the fleeing Magecraft, there exists an extremely powerful god within this Lostbelt..."

If Chaldea wins, that would be better, but if that god wins, as a rival, we'd better make plans early... Let's wait and see."
