Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

"Speaking of which, Parvati, you are Kama's child, so don't you know what your mother wants to do?"

"Even if you ask me that, Miss Yuan, I still don't know..."

Parvati's expression became somewhat subtle. "Although my mother has always been strictly controlled by my mother, if it weren't for my mother suddenly... Sigh, it's so troublesome. If only my father could have appeared, everything wouldn't have been so troublesome."

"Then why not choose to summon Parvati's father?"

Ritsuka asked, confused.

Since summoning this person is the optimal solution, why not take that step first? Or strive towards that approach?

"Because the father was unconscious."

Parvati waved her hand helplessly, “Our Indian pantheon is actually quite unique. Anyway, after I became Parvati from Sati, I understood that the Himalayas that protect me are my father, and my mother and mother are the same way. It’s just natural to know that ‘he is my lover’.”

"In that case, is it really possible to develop feelings for someone who has no will and no response?"

After a long silence, Aria asked.

"You can't say that. The feelings between Father and Mother, and Mother's feelings are real."

Parvati frowned, a rare occurrence. "It may be hard to imagine, but I and everyone in India firmly believe that anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be taught a lesson by us all."

"Alright, let's continue. According to Yuanyuan, once we pass the next level, we can face Kama directly."

At the end of the discussion, Novia, who had collected the search warrants for the 'Eighth Shogun' and the 'Second Shogun' and handed them to Ritsuka, said this, which led everyone to follow her into the next floor—

Kama, who should have been at the deepest part of the fourth level, where 'theft is forbidden,' was leisurely flipping through a book in the very first part of the maze.

"mom!"

"I told you not to call me that."

Kama casually put the book away.

“It’s your prerogative to be stubborn, Mother, Kama. But now that I’ve seen you, I won’t let you go.”

"You mean you're not interested in my feelings and situation? Ah~ As expected of the great goddess Parvati, marrying Shiva is quite impressive~"

Kama waved his hand casually, "By the way, the reason I'm here is also to confirm some situations that can't be ignored as part of the construction team. Sigh. You guys really solved it. This was something I prepared with great difficulty."

"What do you mean?"

"Since you have solved the riddles and the path, there is no need for this level to continue to exist."

"Because of me, Dean."

Kichijou-in proudly declared, hands on his hips, "I broke my vow because I helped Lord Novia commit theft."

Actually, it was just that when Kichijou was holding Novia from behind, he accidentally dropped the key hanging on his waist onto Novia.

"I never expected someone with your personality to call someone 'sir' or anything like that. The name Novia... it really has a rather strange feel to it..."

"Let's put this topic aside for now, Mom."

Parvati took a deep breath, picked up her trident, and pointed it at Kama. "What exactly is the purpose of making us break the five Buddhist precepts?"

"It's actually very simple, Parvati, you don't need to overthink it."

Suddenly, Kama smiled broadly and said, "Because this is the Shogun's harem, the inner palace, I only hope that you can feel comfortable before you die."

Then, Kama narrowed his eyes, as if to make sure everyone present remembered it.

"The reason for corresponding to the Five Precepts is simply because it is simple and easy to understand. The more strictly something is prohibited, the stronger the punishment will be for violating it."

"Well, so what I originally did wasn't bound by this framework, but rather I was much freer. I would reach out for any pleasure, hobbies, or decadence, and of course, I would adapt to it. Like that?"

The moment the words fell, Kama's body transformed into that of a mature adult.

Upon hearing this, Parvati, who had been on high alert, immediately put away her trident.

"So you only did that because you were jealous of your mother's figure. It's okay, it's okay, I'll find a way to make you—"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Are you deaf? Can't you understand what I'm saying? Has Shiva protected you so much that you've become deaf?"

"It's you, Mom, who's talking nonsense."

Parvati, who had been keeping her head down while Kama spoke, trembled, her voice unconsciously suppressed, as if she were trying to hold back her tears.

"It's worrying that she ran out in this special situation, and then she inexplicably took over some harem, and then she set up a transgression. What is this? Sexual misconduct and human harems are linked together, and Mom has become this strange. There's a sensational atmosphere everywhere... How am I supposed to think about this?!"

"What did you say? I don't quite understand. What's wrong with what I did and those words? Besides, I only needed to break the four precepts..."

Perhaps intimidated by Parvati's imposing presence, Kama, who had been calm and collected, suddenly became somewhat at a loss.

In an instant, Parvati clenched her fists, suddenly looked up, and stared at Kama with tearful eyes.

"Are you going to betray Father, Mom?!"

"...Huh? I think you really should just die, acting so disrespectfully..."

Upon hearing this, Kama trembled uncontrollably, clearly angered by Parvati's words.

"Besides, you don't understand anything at all! You're just like that idiot Durga! Clearly, clearly everything I did was for 'him'!"

"Oh dear, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, my own mother is a married woman, yet she's involved in topics like the harem and breaking vows, and on top of that, she's become like this and says things like she'll get used to being depraved. Although I had that feeling before, when I'm facing you like this, I feel I have no choice but to say it."

As he spoke, Kichijoin walked up to Kama and looked directly at her.

"Making your worried daughter cry... that's really... inappropriate, isn't it, Lady Novia? You think so too, don't you?"

Novia did not respond immediately.

"That's unbelievable. I usually don't care what others say, except for that Durga guy... But what you said makes me inexplicably annoyed. Are you perhaps of the same ilk as her?"

Kama looked gloomy.

"And who are you two anyway! You brat and that completely invisible guy, damn it, just thinking about it makes me inexplicably angry. Ugh~ Are they like cockroaches, good at hiding and relentlessly pursuing each other?"

Parvati was still crying, which made Kama grit his teeth. After leaving a message, he chose to make the clone disappear.

"...In short, Parvati, you'll understand when you get to the last floor."

Chapter 380: Sentient beings save the Buddha, non-Buddhas save sentient beings.

"...What bad luck."

Kama, the Hindu god of love, murmured almost a sigh in the deepest part of the labyrinth, as if he had transformed into the universe.

Fortunately, he recalled all his clones on his return, and the Chaldea group on the penultimate floor had not yet arrived, so no one could hear his mutterings.

"Parvati, how could you think of me like that? I can't stand it..."

The thought of Parvati crying and saying those words made Kama's face contort.

I was clearly trying so hard to see 'him'...

Kama stared blankly at his profile reflected on the ocean of the universe, lost in thought.

His own actions were undoubtedly similar to those of King Solomon, the mastermind behind the burning of humanity. Knowing this, he shouldn't have gotten involved. Logically speaking, for a god like himself to do such a thing would undoubtedly be a disgrace to the Hindu pantheon... Never mind, looking at the situation in America, I feel like I've lost all face.

After all, what pantheon would openly start a civil war on another continent?

Sigh, Krishna still knows how to talk. If I had known that Durga was so easily believed, I should have turned into a ray of light and killed him again beforehand. But thinking about it, if Durga hadn't gone somewhere, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

The scenery of the cosmic ocean was like a slideshow used in human schools, with familiar scenes flashing rapidly through Kama's eyes, finally settling on the final battle of the last cycle of the Hindu pantheon, that is, the moment when the gods clashed with Banda, the King of Righteous Law, and Kama picked up the clay statue on the human side.

In fact, the point of disagreement between Durga and Kama regarding Gavia was quite simple: one believed that Gavia was still in the world and would return sooner or later, while the other believed that she would not return. As for Moses, the most beautiful goddess, she lived a literal life as a "homebody" in the Ocean of Milk.

Therefore, Kama wanted to fill the world with "love" by restoring the essence, namely Mara, the human evil who "hinders practitioners" in the concept of human society. In other words, he wanted to ascend smoothly through such a ritual, so that the universe he inhabited could be reshaped into the "Indian universe".

Her idea was somewhat similar to Geitia's, but unlike Geitia, who wanted to replace the planets, Kama simply wanted to recreate the 'Indian Universe' of the Age of Gods. In short, it was to reincarnate and bring India back to its original starting point, but of course, it was limited to the Indian region.

However, human evil is based on the 'evil' born from the primates of this era. Kama's actions are somewhat contrary to the foundation of his own human evil. After all, the primates of the divine era are gods, not humans. If he really succeeds, he will likely suffer an unspeakable and severe blow.

Kama may or may not have known, but in any case, her mind was made up.

Don't care about what others think; throw away all rationality.

Whenever there is an opportunity, we should give it our all.

So please be frank and let your emotions run wild without restraint, because if it were me now, this plan—

“You say you are among all things, so I will give my ‘love’ to all things, and in this way, I will be able to see you again.”

The stars shining in the universe gradually turned white, emitting a dazzling light.

Those are the last memories we have, the essence of Mara that only returns in the very first cycle of reincarnation.

The first flower born in the black, turbid waters of the sixth heaven of the Desire Realm, the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven, was the first celestial demon, namely Mara, the chief of the celestial demons.

Even now, Kama still remembers the words spoken by the man who was beside the Chaldea Master, yet whom he couldn't see at all: "Hindering the ascetic, has your path truly reached Gautama?"

...Isn't that obvious? If I hadn't reached Gautama's level, how could I have become a human demon?

But for some reason, after hearing these words, Kama looked at the shadow in his memory again, watching the 'self' in his memory struggle, breathing incessantly, looking at the dark sky with a sigh and a sad gaze. There was a sigh, there was reluctance, an emotion that seemed to be completely different from failure.

The silver-haired man with his back to me, whose identity I couldn't discern... what did he say?

Until that final door opened, the Demon King once again sank himself into the shadows of his memories.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the moment the last door opened, Kama immediately opened his eyes and stared indifferently at the people in the doorway.

"The universe? So this is the true face of this place..."

Seeing the scene here, so different from when he first entered, Kichijoin murmured to himself thoughtfully.

When she brought Aria in earlier, this was a courtroom, and the two of them were sitting in the dock. Kama himself was at the highest point of the dock, politely judging the crimes of the two who had become 'generals'.

"Goddess Kama! Where is the Lord of the Great Ooku now?!"

Perhaps due to a setback, Parvati did not appear, but instead Kasuga appeared.

"...Parvati, no, let's call her Kasuga no Tsubone now."

When Kama saw that Parvati didn't appear, she was instantly furious. She had originally wanted to explain to Parvati.

And you're criticizing me? Aren't you the same way? Honestly, how dare you scold me without any respect for my elders...

Suppressing her urge to scold, the silver-haired goddess softened her expression and continued:

"For Parvati's sake, I'll tell you honestly. The Tokugawa shogun you mentioned is called Tokugawa Iemitsu, right? That was the original plot, but I forgot where I put it after a long time. Hmm, let me look for it... Hmm, found it."

Kama reached out and groped around in the empty universe, then pulled out a file that looked just like the 'file' that everyone had picked up earlier.

"This document is the wedge that puts peace on this unfortunate city, ensuring that the souls of all Tokugawa shoguns are brought to justice at Scotland Yard."

Suddenly, Kama laughed.

"I'll tell you everything, for Parvati's sake, but as the goddess of love, I love you all equally."

"After hearing the lamentations of London, I took over the 'system' there, and then went to the Ooku to bring it in and merge it with London, so that Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogun from the past era, would be punished and I would successfully obtain his soul. Then, following the thread of cause and effect, I began to work hard to collect materials."

"First came the Ooku, then expanded to Edo. The same was true for London; first Scotland Yard, then expanded to London."

"Then, I extended the line of cause and effect vertically, that is, towards the past and the future, the Tokugawa, the Shogun, the Bakufu, the lament of the islands, the royal family, Britain, that is, the souls of London and Edo from 1603 to 1893, all of which acted as fuel to create all of this."

"Of course, everyone in London did it voluntarily, but in Edo, it was a matter of the minority obeying the majority."

"Mom, I understand what you did."

Parvati, who had appeared out of nowhere, looked at Kama with a pained expression. "But what exactly is your purpose? To maintain this special realm created here even at the cost of disrupting the timeline through dangerous actions? To try and break people's sanity through this distortion..."

"My goal has always been singular—"

A gentle breeze suddenly blew through the universe, and the sound of space cracking turned into a slight murmur, melting into the surroundings.

Kama's silver hair fluttered in the wind.

"No matter how many lives are killed, how many lies are told, how much alcohol is consumed, how much theft is committed, no matter how despicable a human being may be, I will love them, even if they fall into hell, I will still love them. This is the proof of my love, which allows all indulgence, my love."

Because 'He' is in all things, so too is my 'love' in all things.

In just a moment, the space transformed from the universe back into a courtroom. The Chaldeans were all in the defendant's seat, while the audience, defense, plaintiff, judge, and media seats were all occupied by Kama, except for the defendant's seat.

Kama, who was positioned in the very center of the judge's bench, was undoubtedly the real Kama. Dressed in a refined manner, she smiled and spoke.

"Although I hate gods, humans, and Servants other than myself, although I hate everything other than myself, although I truly feel disgusted, even so... I will still hate you from the bottom of my heart, and love you until the very end, after all, you are proof that 'he' is not here."

"Mom, the smell of you..."

Parvati wrinkled her nose as she watched Kama's limbs burning with blue flames.
