A change of view
Mara's head fell to the ground, Morgan raised her hand and waved it gently, turning the blood on the ground into dust and scattering away. She shifted her gaze from the worthless dust and looked back towards the direction of the Fantasy Tree.
Fairy Eyes are a special type of eye that can discern whether a person's words are true or false. Normally, with Mara's method of being nine parts truth and one part falsehood, even Fairy Eyes would be hampered.
Unfortunately, Mara's last words, "We are willing to serve you as our lord," were a complete lie. A court jester can breathe fire and swallow knives in front of the king, but only if he never reveals any inappropriate thoughts.
"This Lostbelt is certainly welcoming; the performance to greet the Queen was quite good, making my trip worthwhile."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Fantasy Tree, Kama suddenly seemed to hear Mara's sorrowful sigh again. She fanned her ears in confusion, wondering if it was just her imagination.
The most important thing at this moment is the situation before them. Kama looked at Bai Mo, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but sigh. She took a step forward, about to speak, but Bai Mo stopped her first.
"Sure, but there are conditions. You can do it if you're willing to abide by them."
Kama stared at Bai Mo in disbelief, while Ritsuka, Ritsuka beside him, was equally shocked. She stepped forward and asked Bai Mo, "Brother Bai, what's wrong with you? When Bai Ermo was summoned, the first thing he did was break off the olive branch on his body and burn it."
You've actually agreed to let a god in? Could it be... Oh no, it must be Kama! I never imagined that the power of Cupid's arrows was so immense!
"Go away and play somewhere else." Bai Mo gave Ritsuka a chop to the head in Ritsuka tone.
"That's right, that's the power of Cupid's arrow! I got to be with him through my own efforts."
"Kama, don't use such misleading language," Bai Mo said helplessly. Upon hearing this, Kama's lips involuntarily twitched.
"It's a misunderstanding..."
She suddenly revealed a subtle smile, placed her golden, gauze-like hands on her chest and abdomen, and said in a voice full of ambiguity:
"Even though we did those things, I can still feel the traces left here..."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and the next instant, a sharp crackling sound rang in Bai Mo's ears. Since time and space had returned to normal, the system space was no longer frozen.
Therefore, Arcueid and the others naturally heard what was just said. Since they had just set off, Atalanta and the others were also present and heard the conversation.
"Wait, wait, wait! What did you say? Explain yourself!"
Inside the control room, Arcueid snatched Olga Marie's microphone, her long golden hair billowing, gathering starlight. Bai Mo seemed to hear the grinding of teeth on the other side. He was about to cover Kama's mouth when she dodged away with a playful smile.
"It means exactly what it says. Bai Mo really endured a lot while he was with you guys, I didn't expect him to have accumulated so much..."
In Chaldea, those who heard these words instantly lost their light in their eyes.
"Don't say things that could cause misunderstandings, Kama!" Bai Mo pinched Kama's cheek and said through gritted teeth.
"What's wrong? I didn't lie..."
"That's the Power of Austerity; don't overlook such an important concept!"
Kama remained defiant, while Indra, standing nearby, was growing increasingly frustrated. He waved his hand, and a stunningly dressed goddess descended—it was Rati. Rati grabbed Kama and forcibly dragged Kama back.
"We're getting to the crucial part of the conversation, don't interrupt, Rati, quickly take this goddess who has completely fallen from grace away."
Rati looked utterly helpless. As she passed Bai Mo, she reached out and touched Bai Mo, a complex expression on her face.
"You mustn't let Kama down!"
Bai Mo's prepared words were also cut off by Rati's words. He sighed softly, as if he understood something, and nodded slightly to her.
"Alright, let's sit down and have a good chat." The Magnetic Field Power surged and transformed into a row of stone chairs.
Bai Mo's inner resistance to the India gods wasn't particularly strong. A large part of his aversion to the gods stemmed from their wanton manipulation and toying with human lives and destinies.
The remaining part is a personal grudge.
However, India mythology is quite special. In India mythology, because India are considered too divine, coupled with the existence of the India ascetic system, the relationship between gods and humans is mostly one where India torment the gods.
Take Agni, the god of fire, for example. Although he Wubian magical power, he could only consume ghee poured into his mouth during sacrifices. This was because gods needed human sacrifices and ascetic practices to sustain themselves.
Even the guardian deity Vishnu and the destroyer deity Shiva were tormented.
Unlike Greece mythology, in India mythology, the supreme being is not a god, but the "Dharma." Gods are merely its executors, not its creators. If a god violates the Dharma, he will also suffer the consequences.
Humans are the providers of energy, and the status of God depends on humans for maintenance.
This is why the gods of India are more human compared to those encountered in Greece and Uruk. The relationship between Kama and Agni is more like that of colleagues than of two equally supreme deities.
Bai Mo is not a vengeful person or a berserker who is obsessed with killing gods. Bai Ermo may be, but Bai Mo knows very well how to control his anger instead of being controlled by it.
His enemies, from beginning to end, were the Greece gods.
On the other hand, unlike other Lostbelt, Russia, Northern Europe, and the East all had good relations with their rulers, which to some extent enabled them to complete tasks such as infrastructure construction and education, ensuring the development of human civilization.
But as for the India Lostbelt... unfortunately, Karna died of old age thousands of years ago.
Furthermore, these gods, because of Brahma, have all directly or indirectly controlled the Magnetic Field Power, and it would be troublesome if they released these unstable factors.
Bai Mo didn't want Shi Tianwu to make the trip.
Even so, Bai Mo still had to lay down three rules for them: any control over people must disappear, whether subjective or objective.
Even the blessing of asceticism must be subject to constraints, and in the future, people must gradually step out of God's protection and grow independently into beings capable of facing the future.
When humanity achieves a certain level of technological advancement, the corresponding deity must disappear.
In the future, there will be no longer a distinction between humans and gods; they can be companions, rather than believers and gods.
A series of extremely stringent requirements were listed, some of which were even excessive. For example, asceticism was severely restricted; only asceticism aimed at one's own liberation could be accepted, and utilitarian asceticism had to be eliminated.
Sacrifices should not be extravagantly wasted. In the future, sacrifices should only be preserved as a cultural custom. Countries that hope to become strong solely through sacrifices should not be granted blessings.
With conditions like the abolition of the caste system, it's safe to say that even Li Hongzhang might not have dared to sign.
But Indra dares.
Are you kidding me? People are almost gone, the world is about to be cut apart, why are you still being picky? As for the future god disappearing, so be it, he'll just be reincarnated. If that Narottama can do it, why can't other gods? It's not like they haven't done it before.
As for the disappearance of utilitarian asceticism... that's a good thing!
Indra is indeed a demon, but he's not stupid.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that any god, faced with the choice between the Inner Sea of the Planet and this treaty before them, would not hesitate for a moment.
Including the Greece gods.
From the moment Bai Mo uttered the word "okay," he was already lost in thought. He just wanted Bai Mo to finish speaking quickly, then sign the treaty in black and white, so he could take this thing and return in triumph like a hero.
At this moment, he was inwardly applauding:
Well done, Kama; well done, Narottama; and most importantly, well done, Indra!
After he finishes speaking, we can declare victory!
"Okay, that's all. I know it's difficult, and I need to tell you, there are..."
"Ah, are you done? Is signing here enough? Okay, I'll swear another oath. Mahadeva, and who else is there? Come out and witness!" Indra moved with lightning speed, pressing down the seal and swearing an oath to heaven and earth. At the same time, all the gods, including Shiva, appeared in the sky and swore in unison.
The light was dazzling, the thunder roared, and the world trembled under its might, with heaven and earth as witness.
These guys' directness actually confused Bai Mo.
