Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Earlier, when the Elixir of Immortality appeared first on the Asura's side, Indra was pondering how to retrieve it when he suddenly noticed an arrow flying towards him. Since it wasn't hostile, he only noticed it when it was almost upon him, and Indra instinctively caught it—

In the blink of an eye, Indra suddenly appeared in the earth. Before Indra could even think about what was happening, Asura King Vritra immediately appeared in front of him and began to fight him.

To be honest, it wasn't that Indra was inferior to Vritra. Over the years, as leaders of their respective races, they had both won and lost, but Indra had won more often.

However, the reason for Indra's crushing defeat today is simple: his weapon Vajra suddenly became unusable, which led to Vritra's elaborate beating and various forms of torture.

Originally, the earth was filled with terrifying darkness, but the azure flames originated from the power of Furido. As the king of the Asuras, Furido is also known as the 'Supreme Being among the Asuras'. Therefore, he can follow his own purpose of existence and use his retinue or his own demon army to cover the heavens and earth and isolate objects.

It can also be interpreted as the "mountain" and "cloud" in the Asura tradition, where "Valita sealed the water in the mountain with his own body." The current scene on the ground is like an ominous cloud covering the world. It can be said that Indra is fighting against Valita outside of his protective barrier and without the ability to use weapons, so it is normal for him to fail.

Upon hearing Indra's words, Vritra's lips twisted instantly.

"Should we beat you until you vomit something more?"

Its snow-white fangs are exposed, whiter than tiger fangs, sharper and fiercer than wolf fangs, and are the fangs of a dragon born from the Asura race.

"Who gave you those instructions, Phrixus!"

Although Indra was furious, he was not stupid. Having fought with Vritra so many times, he naturally understood that Vritra, as an Asura, would never choose to humiliate his opponent in battle, but would only fight purely. This time, however, he not only kept torturing him, but it was as if he was doing it on purpose for others to see.

Besides this, there was one more thing Indra didn't understand: what was the deal with the arrow that appeared out of nowhere?

If it weren't for that arrow, he wouldn't have suddenly arrived in the land and been brutally beaten by Felix...

"Oh dear, oh dear, this is clearly your own fault, you treacherous and cunning fellow."

Felido smacked his lips in disgust.

The blue flames stirred her blonde hair.

“It is I, Indra.”

Tashtar, the Indian god of craftsmanship and creation, emerged from the shadows, put down his battle axe, grasped Indra's neck, and lifted him up.

He used his free hand to violently beat Indra.

Beating, beating, relentless beating.

The divine blood that was ejected from Indra's body was a dull, lackluster gold, which was most likely proof that the Heavenly Emperor's life force was fading.

"No wonder... Vajra... can't be used... it's because of you..."

Indra looked like he was on his deathbed, but he still smiled sarcastically.

"Yes, atone for my child's sins, Indra."

"I... am the Heavenly Emperor..."

“That’s right. It would be too cruel for the Heavenly Emperor to continue fighting. If I were to hang your bloodied and mangled body on the top of Mount Sumeru for the gods to see, it would be really bad for the reputation of the Heavenly Emperor.”

Dhāshṇa released his grip on Indra's neck and picked up the battle axe that was placed to the side.

"Considering my past friendship with you, I will not use Vajra to kill you in the end. Let Indra end this happily."

The God of Forging gripped tightly, thus accumulating power, refining magic, and pouring all his strength into delivering the final blow to the Heavenly Emperor. It was not merely a strike combining magic and physics, nor an impact that pierced through the gaps between bones and flesh, but a destruction that exhausted everything to shatter Indra, the God of Thunder.

"Tsk."

Vritra, standing to the side, watched Indra being beaten so badly, but didn't laugh much.

If she hadn't already made a deal with Dhāshīdà, she wouldn't have bothered to torture Indra and would have chosen to kill him directly. However, in order to let Dhāshīdà deliver the final blow and to please him, she tortured Indra instead.

Looking at the dying Indra, Vritra turned away, his thoughts elsewhere.

We, the Asuras, have obtained the nectar of immortality. The Devadattas not only failed to get it, but with Indra dead, those useless trash will probably have little fighting power left... Haha, the war that has lasted for so many years will finally end, and Mount Meru will surely fall into the hands of us, the Asuras!

I'll let those Devas sing and dance in front of me and put on a fun show. Haha, not bad, not bad.

The beautiful future he envisioned made Furido, the Asura King, smile, and even his dragon tail twitched.

"Hey, how are we going to get back later? We're not going to fly back, are we?"

"No need. This is a one-time, round-trip power. We'll go back after we kill Indra."

"Hehehe, I—"

Just as Felix was about to say something, she suddenly widened her eyes and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Tashta realized that Indra's disappearance must have led to the appearance of the god of saviors, so he hurriedly gathered his strength and slashed at Indra, attempting to kill him before the god of saviors arrived.

Time stands still, not in the sense that the earth becomes a world where time seems to stand still, but in the literal sense.

Dhāshīta was only a finger's width away from Indra, a distance that would instantly kill Indra upon contact.

However, this moment has not come, or in other words, it will never come.

In a realm where time stands still, a pristine white staircase extends toward a place where darkness and eerie blue flames mingle.

The radiance gracefully descended upon the steps, gradually intensifying and transforming into human form.

The world itself, the entire space, rejoices in the radiance.

The fourth god, Gavia, appeared in his original form.

When Gavia reached Indra and Dhāshta, the battle axe that was about to kill Indra instantly shattered in his sight and vanished into nothingness.

Then the fourth god stroked Indra's face, and Indra, who had been beaten half to death, was immediately healed from all his injuries.

In fact, the moment Kavia saw Dhāshta, she already understood why Indra had fallen to such a state. Indeed, killing someone out of fear of losing his position was extremely shameful for the God of God.

However, Indra was not a virtuous and righteous figure; he was weak and cunning, and as a god, he was more like a human being.

He would fight for the Devas, but he was still full of desires, fear, and threats. When his position was unstable, he would also play power games, exclude dissidents, and even send celestial maidens to seduce ascetics to interrupt their practice.

Even so, the only one in all of India suitable to be the Heavenly Emperor is Indra.

Why?

Because the position of the Hindu god of heaven has a strange kind of toxicity.

For example, the incident in which Tashta conspired with Vishnu to kill Indra because of the death of his child Vishnu was considered a tribulation for Indra in Hindu mythology. However, it was eventually resolved. Indra felt guilty after experiencing this incident, so he gave up continuing to be the god of heaven and hid himself so that the gods could not find him.

Seeing this, the gods had no choice but to search for a successor to the heavenly emperor. In the end, the hero of the human world, King Youlin, accumulated much merit through asceticism and was successfully invited by the gods to replace Indra as the ruler of the heavens.

However, the poison of the position of the God of God caused the once diligent and ascetic neighboring king to become corrupt, indulging in sensual pleasures, and even attempting to seize Indra's wife, Sāṇīka... Therefore, although Indra's position as the God of God was not entirely aboveboard, it was not a major problem for the world overall. Apart from him, there was really no one more suitable to be the God of God in India.

I'm sorry to have dragged you into my affairs.

Upon opening his eyes in the stillness of time, Indra immediately lowered his head upon seeing the silver-haired man before him. He was utterly terrified; the representative of the ascetic, who reigned supreme over the world, had actually come to save him.

He thought Vishnu would come to save him, but he never expected it to be Kavia, who basically only appears in Vishnu's mouth.

"I would like to ask about the status of the Elixir of Immortality."

Perhaps because he was flustered, Indra spoke very quickly.

"Well, it's over."

Gavia nodded. "The nectar of immortality is now in your hands. As the Heavenly Emperor, you should return now. The conflict between the Asuras and the Devas on Mount Meru should come to an end."

Indra took a deep breath to calm himself down and steady his racing heart before looking at Gavia.

"What about them?"

"I'll handle it."

"Yes, I understand, I'll go back right away!"

Since the god Gavia had spoken, Indra dared not say anything more.

Suddenly, a divine aura, as gentle as a breeze yet as heavy as the ocean, emanated from Indra's entire body.

It brushed past Indra's nose, and just like that, Indra's body, which was in the earthly realm, returned to Mount Meru.

"Also, Indra, you are wrong in this matter."

Time begins to flow from stillness, yet loneliness remains.

“Dashta, you are also at fault.”

"I……"

Tuoshi knelt down, head drooping, and began to sob, his shoulders trembling.

She realized her mistake and therefore dared not look Gavia in the eye.

"After this, Indra will make amends, and you, Dashta, will also make amends. The future god of the earth is your child."

"……I see."

In the early days of the Hindu pantheon, the land was deserted. The Asuras were only driven into the land after being defeated by the Devas in the Ocean of Milk incident. Tashta then had two children with the sun god Surya: Yama, the god of death, and Yami, the god of the Yamuna River. These siblings established the rules of the land.

In other words, neither Indra nor Dashta will die in this incident; the only one who will die, if one insists, is Purita.

As Vritra watched the brief exchange between Gavia and Thoshta, pure fear shone in his golden eyes.

This is the god Gavia... The god Gavia is terrifying.

Her knees were weak and she could hardly stand up. Frido wanted to move around, but she couldn't even look away; she just stared intently at Gavia.

Feelings like terror should have long since ceased to exist. As the king of Asuras, the supreme being of Asuras, she should be completely free from terror.

However, Phrido is now trembling.

How terrifying! Are all the gods of divination this scary? Brahma isn't like that at all...

"Vritra."

When her name was suddenly called, a shiver ran down Felid's back. She even felt goosebumps all over her body. She was overjoyed but also terrified.

"You are no longer the king of Asuras."

"……what?"

“When the Asuras were driven down from Mount Meru and came to the earth, Vritra would no longer be the first king of the Asuras.”

Felid was stunned and paused for a moment.

When she finally understood its meaning, a fierce fear struck again.

The king born from the Asuras is a deity and dragon embodying the concept of 'obstacle'.

Ice and snow in the world are the form of water that has been taken away and blocked.

The darkness in the world is the shadow of heaven and earth that is obscured.

The silence in the world is proof that those who are neither gods nor demons are not present.

However, at this very moment, all of these were inexplicably shattered by the god of the sympathetic realm, who was not hindered by the concept of 'obstacle'.

This must be what it means to want to see the existence of the concept of 'obstacle'. In any case, Frido suddenly had an urge to follow this terrifying god of sympathy. Perhaps it was some kind of demonic nature of Gavia, who was a god of sympathy, that gave her this feeling.

So, the blond-haired Asura King licked his dry lips to ease the stiffness.

Then she flashed a fawning smile that even she herself could tell was presentable.

“In that case, Kasyapa, may I, no, may I follow you like Shesha, who is under Vishnu?”

Shesa, also known as Ananda the Naga King, is a superior deity in India. He is the king of the Nagas with a thousand snake heads and an important follower of Vishnu. It is said that Shesa's many heads constantly chant praises to Vishnu and also become Vishnu's mattress.

For the mighty King of Asuras, the supreme being of the Asuras, to become someone else's follower, to constantly utter songs of praise, and to be reduced to a mattress—this may seem like a great disgrace, but it is only relative.

After all, the person Flittus was talking about was Gavia, one of the gods of divination. Flittus felt he had hit the jackpot. He would have been willing to work anywhere, let alone guard the gate!

As for the Asura race, if the leader of the group dies or disappears, a replacement usually becomes the leader. Moreover, the Asuras who were driven off Mount Meru probably wouldn't recognize Vritra, who was absent at the crucial moment, as their king...

Sad?

Absolutely not. After all, the Asuras are a bunch of heartless bastards. Sometimes, after Vritra lost to Indra, he was almost killed by a sneak attack, so naturally there wasn't much affection between them. That's how the law of the jungle works.

"No."

The moment Gavia finished speaking, Frodo felt as if the sky had fallen.

"But you can come and guard the door for me."

Upon hearing this, Flittus's mood brightened once more. Suppressing the urge to cheer, he nodded hurriedly, his dragon tail wagging like a puppy.

Then, as Gavia was preparing to return to Mount Meru to meet Brahma and Vishnu, Dashta suddenly spoke:

"May we ask you, God Gavia, to take Kama back?"

As Thoshta spoke, a petite deity dressed in purple, unconscious, appeared beside her.

“This is my fault. Kama had previously begged me to help ‘him’ forge a weapon. At that time, I was in the midst of the rage of the death of all phenomena, so when I was forging the Arrow of Love, I mixed in the coordinates of the earth and activated my one and only forger’s authority to shoot it at Indra, bringing him here… All of this is my fault, and has nothing to do with Kama. Please, God Gavia, take Kama back to Mount Meru.”
