Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Originally, Tashta's plan was to awaken the unconscious Kama after killing Indra, so that Kama, as the master of the weapon, could activate the power of the Arrow of Love and return to Mount Meru. After all, Tashta only dared to plot the killing of the God of Gods in secret, and dared not be too obvious...

However, it's no longer needed, since Gavia has already arrived.

Gavia nodded in agreement, and then spoke to Felix.

“Pharito, take Kama, the god of love.”

"Roger that!"

Fiddich straightened his body with a stiff and precise motion, and used his tail to pick up the unconscious Kama.

"The loyal Phrido guarantees to complete the task bestowed upon him by God Ga!"

Chapter 289 Kama: Is that so?

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water droplets.

The sound of countless water droplets flowing down from somewhere.

Kama, sensing that it seemed to be raining outside, turned over in bed.

The sound of raindrops did not disturb Kama's sleep.

The mattress felt incredibly comfortable, and the unfamiliar blankets covering me were warm and smooth to the touch, like silk. It was clear that the material was excellent, made of high-end materials.

...This is the first time I've slept so comfortably, especially on a rainy day. It felt so good.

To fall asleep soundly while listening to the rain on a rainy day is a perfect pleasure that even Cupid couldn't resist.

After all, as the goddess of love, Kama was always very tired in order to fulfill her daily duties. It was a journey of exhaustion day after day, witnessing the love of others. Although Kama was also happy, the fatigue that could not be wiped away kept accumulating, so heavy that she unconsciously realized that continuing like this was really tiring.

Therefore, the rare comfortable bed made Cupid feel very good.

Just as Kama was enjoying this rare moment of happiness in his light sleep, suddenly, the god of love was lost in memories.

What was I doing before I went to sleep...?

He was forced to do hard labor on Mount Meru, received the Arrow of Love forged for him by the god Tashta, and then participated in the churning of the Ocean of Milk, which took nearly a thousand years. Just as he was finally able to rest after the churning, the Arrow of Love suddenly began to flicker, and out of curiosity, he took it out—

These are all of Kama's memories before he went to sleep.

In other words, I fell asleep during a grand occasion attended by all the gods?!

Oh no, this is really embarrassing!

Realizing that he had done something very shameful, Kama turned over in bed once more.

Taking advantage of the moment, Cupid secretly opened her eyes to see where she was, but it wasn't the temple on Mount Meru; instead, it was her own home…

Was I brought back? Was it the god Thoshta who sent me back? Did Lorty change these unfamiliar, high-class bedding sets? Didn't we agree not to touch each other's things without permission...?

Kama thought about this, but he couldn't find an answer.

But in any case, this isn't a question of whether a god is good or bad, or rather, no one should sleep on such an important occasion... It must be because I'm too clumsy, so I must never do this again. I should also thank Tashkent later.

Although it was not yet certain who had brought him back, Kama thought about it and felt that Tashta was the most likely candidate.

Then Cupid blinked and sat up in bed. At this moment, Kama realized that not only the bedding, but even the bed itself had been changed. It had been replaced with a large bed that could fit several people. However, for some reason, the bed had a long, bed-like thing on it, as if it was for placing something on the body while sleeping.

Even though it was a familiar home, Kama felt a little unfamiliar because of the changed bed.

Besides, Eros's wife Rhodes was not in the house, and only the sound of dripping water outside continued to reach Kama's ears.

At this point, Kama realized that it probably wasn't a rainy day, but rather that Rhodi was outside watering the flowers and plants.

Thinking of this, Kama, whose body was still slightly numb, walked out the door—

Kama looked at his hands and the ground, and let out a soft sigh of white breath. Even though the sun was almost at its highest point, the air was still icy cold, and the sunlight coming through the sky offered no warmth whatsoever.

Then Cupid glanced around and saw that beneath the lush greenery of the mountains, water was slowly seeping into the soil.

A black-haired girl carefully cupped water in her hands to water the lush green trees and flowers.

“Rorty…”

Kama murmured softly.

"terribly sorry……"

Kama felt that it was normal for him to fall asleep on such an important occasion, even though he had been sent back, and for other gods to laugh at him in private. Kama himself didn't care, but for Rhodes, it was not good.

Although the two were faking their marriage, Kama felt that he was now Rhodi's 'husband' and therefore had to maintain that status.

Kama's wife, Rāti, was the daughter of Daksha, and one of the sisters of Sati, Shiva's lover. Sati had previously told Shiva that her sister Rāti had been forced into marriage by her father, Daksha, and had run away to meet Kama, the god of love, and fell in love at first sight. They then quickly got married. Although Daksha thought Kama's status as the god of love was not particularly high, he could still accept it, and thus he approved of the marriage.

But the reason was simply that Rhodes, who had run away, was crying on the mountain, which was heard by Kama, who was fulfilling his duty as the god of love and traveling around. So he went to comfort her.

Since it is only the early stage of the Age of Gods, Kama is still very interested in 'love' and has not become too tired or fallen into despair because he has seen too much love... In short, he is in a state of full of enthusiasm.

Rhodi, comforted by Kama, suddenly had a good idea: he would pretend to marry Kama first, and then... well, he just needed to keep it a secret from his father, Dasha.

However, after Rhodi told Kama this, Kama looked helpless and said:

"I'd really like to help you... but I don't even know my exact gender. I'm probably female, but I don't know why I'm a bit small right now. My size hasn't changed at all, so I might look like a man..."

This news struck Lorty like a bolt from the blue; she never expected her beloved Cupid to be like this...

"That's all. I really wanted to help you, but it's a real shame."

"Wait!"

Just as Kama was about to leave, Loti called him back.

“Kama, you are also a woman, which is not impossible. After all, we are not really getting married; we just need to keep it a secret from my father.”

Upon hearing this, Kama scratched his head in confusion.

"But--"

"please!"

"……OK then."

And so, the two married smoothly. Since Kama did not have much contact with the gods of Mount Meru, Tashta, who was most likely to come, did not come because he was grieving the death of his child by Indra.

As for Lottie's father, Dasha, he didn't care much about Kama, an ordinary god, and only met him once.

So the two didn't even plan a fake wedding; they simply planted some trees and flowers and considered it their wedding.

As for the place of residence, since it is a god, it is very simple to build another one. As for whether someone will suddenly visit?

In Kama's view, it was completely impossible.

But at this moment, Kama, belatedly realizing the situation, became somewhat flustered.

This is terrible! What if Thoshta, the god who sent me here, discovers that Rorty and I actually live in two separate rooms...?

Just as Kama was panicking, Lotti, who was watering the plants, tilted his head slightly, as if he had noticed her.

"Hmm? Kama, you're awake. How were you? Did you sleep well?"

Rorty looked very happy.

This eliminated the possibility that the marriage was a sham, and Kama smiled.

"It feels so good. I haven't felt this good in a long time."

"That's good. I've already drunk my share of the immortal nectar sent by the gods. Kama, your share is in the cupboard in your room. Remember to drink it."

"I know... huh?"

Kama was about to nod when he noticed the problem in Rorty's words, "The Elixir of Immortality...we obtained it?"

In Kama's memory before he fell into a deep sleep, all the gods appeared on the Asura's side because of the nectar of immortality. They were all ashen-faced, as if they were about to die. Kama understood this, because without the nectar of immortality, the Devas, who were cursed by the immortals, would have almost died along with Indra, the king of the gods.

"Yes, Kama, don't you know?"

Lorty shrugged. "It is said that Vishnu transformed into a goddess named Mosini, who was very beautiful and attracted the attention of the Asuras. Then the gods took advantage of the situation and took away the nectar of immortality. In the subsequent battle, the Heavenly Emperor led the Asuras to be driven directly into the underworld. It was really not easy. After so many years, the war is finally over."

Then Kama heard the rest of the story from Loti.

There was actually a little episode in the story of Moses attracting the Asuras. An Asura named Rahu discovered that Deva was about to obtain the nectar of immortality. Perhaps due to selfishness, he did not make a fuss, but instead transformed into a god and mingled among them, only seeking to get a share of the "nectar" and obtain "eternal life".

But all that Rahu had done was discovered by the sun god Surya and the moon god Chandala. They reported it to Vishnu, who immediately shot out the Divine Wheel, which cut off Rahu's head and arms.

But at this moment, the "nectar of immortality" that Rahu had drunk had reached his throat. He roared and his head was severed from his body. His body rose into the sky and transformed into the ominous comet Jidu, while his head gained immortality.

Therefore, Rahu hated the sun god and moon god to the core, relentlessly chasing the sun and moon and devouring them from time to time. Because he had no body, the sun and moon that he swallowed would leak out from his throat, thus creating the solar and lunar eclipses in Hindu mythology.

"I didn't realize that Vishnu was also... quite powerful."

Although somewhat surprised, Kama suppressed his surprise and continued speaking.

"In that case, I'll go and thank Tashta later."

"Kama, why did you go to thank the god Dashta?"

Lorty tilted his head in confusion, while Kama pointed to himself.

"Because wasn't I brought back by the god Tashita while I was unconscious...?"

"Hehehe."

Lorty suddenly laughed, which puzzled Kama.

Then, the words that came out of Rorty's mouth in the next instant made Kama break out in a cold sweat—

"It was actually Vritra who brought you back, Kama, that blond-haired Asura King."

"……What?!"

Kama couldn't help but tremble all over.

The one who brought me back was Fritjof? That Asura King? How could that be? Didn't Lorty say the Asuras had already lost? How could Fritjof still be alive? If he is, will the gods label me, who was helped by her, as someone who secretly colluded with the Asuras? What am I going to do…?

Perhaps it was the exquisite change in Kama's expression that made Lorty smile again and wave.

“Kama, you don’t need to worry. Now, Phrita has become the attendant of the god Gavia and is no longer the Asura King. Moreover, she personally changed your bed and bedding, and kept saying, ‘If it weren’t for the need to complete the first task of the god Gavia, she would not have been willing to let you use the things she has kept hidden for so many years.’ It’s probably the god Gavia who sent Phrita to bring you back.”

Well, Kama could understand each word of Rorty's words, but when put together, they were somewhat confusing.

Wasn't he unconscious before Moses, an incarnation of Vishnu?

It's possible that Phrixus only became Gavia's attendant after the defeat... but it's also possible that after everything was over, Gavia had Phrixus escort him back...

This leads to a question that has been troubling Kama:

As one of the gods of sympathetic origin, did Gavia really need to have Phrixus send him back?

Why not just let Indra, the King of Gods, randomly assign any god...?

Despite his many doubts, Kama cleared them away and asked Lorty a question:

“Since Phrixus has been taken in by Gavia as his attendant, he should have a fixed place of residence with Vishnu by now, right, Rhodi?”

"Hmm...it seems to be from the Himalayas."

"I see."

Kama nodded, and then flew towards the Himalayas.

Lorty glanced at Kama's departing figure, then continued watering the flowers. A few minutes later, she suddenly remembered something and shouted into the air:

“Kama, Vritra said that after you wake up, remember to bring her things back. She didn't give them to you; she just wanted you to experience them…”

However, this sound should not have reached Kama's ears.

……

In the Indian worldview, the vast snow-capped mountains are regarded as sacred spaces, leading to a supernatural imagination of the snow-capped mountains, namely, snow mountain worship.

People believe that snow-capped mountains are a cool and sacred place free from heat and suffering, a place where miraculous herbs that cure diseases and improve the quality of life thrive, a place where dragon kings and auspicious beasts dwell, and a sacred place for immortals, Buddhas, ghosts and gods to cultivate.

As the most famous snow-capped mountain, the Himalayas hold an extremely high significance in the Indian world. In Indian mythology, the ability to be close to the sky and stars is considered a privilege and symbol of the gods, thus further enhancing the sacredness of the Himalayas.

Take Shiva as an example. Although he was practicing asceticism in the forest at the time, he was later sent to practice asceticism on Mount Gerasa in the Himalayas. In this sense, the Himalayas also have the significance of being the place where God grew up.

At this very moment, atop the Himalayas, above endless snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and towering peaks.

Phrikuta, who had taken human form to guard the gates of Gavia, stood with his arms crossed, coldly watching Kama who had come to express his gratitude.

"Without the order of the God of Ga, I will not allow you to enter."

Well, if Kama had encountered Phrixus before, he would have been trembling with fear. But now that he knows Phrixus has become a follower of the god Gavia, Kama is no longer afraid. After all, he hasn't done anything wrong, so Phrixus wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
