Although there are no gods in the world of asuras, there are brahmins, ascetics, and temples, and even brahmins gather together to study the Dharma and worship Rahu as a god.

Magellan was the long-awaited object of Rahu's show-off, and he had never seen the world of gods and assuras like him, and was also qualified to make an evaluation.

So this asura offered almost everything he had to this mortal.

It was a vast territory, on a par with the world controlled by the gods, and mortals offered everything they had to the masters of the world, and the asuras were clearly more savvy than the gods.

The Asuras and the mortals gathered to welcome Magellan with a revelry, and they showed great enthusiasm for the mortal whom they had never seen before, but Magellan preferred to believe that they just enjoyed the celebrations.

It was as if it were the last day, and the mighty asuras and ordinary mortals, including the brahmins who kept strict austerities, squandered everything they had, including strength and all wealth.

And the center of everyone is Magellan, who seems to be in a whirlpool, involuntarily, although he struggles to support, but he still inevitably goes with the flow.

Rahu was happy to see this, and his asura instincts convinced him that there was no one in the world who did not like pleasure and revelry, and that Magellan was performing austerities for the three great gods, and that he would like this world.

Finally, as the revelry drew to a close, Rahu rescued Magellan from the center of the crowd and led him to a grand hall where he stood in front of the statue of Lord Shiva in the center of the hall.

"Pray here so that God can hear my voice. ”

Rahu lit the fire in front of the idol and put the spices into the flames, and in the smoke, something invisible came.

"I will help Magellan to continue his asceticism, but his game will be played here. ”

"As you wish. ”

Shiva's voice was ethereal, but it was indeed in the ears, and Magellan could not misremember his voice.

"Your glory will illuminate the entire universe until the end. ”

Rahu bowed his head and offered an offering to Shiva, he poured wine into the fire and put down a large piece of fat beef, which disappeared when it touched the flames.

The light smoke cleared and Shiva left.

The celebration is finally over.

Rahu led Magellan into his manor, a very beautiful place, with vast green fields and tall vines, as beautiful as the abode of the gods.

"You're not suitable for partying, you can rest here first, although I can't wait, but the game prepared for you is too intense, and it is definitely not suitable for you now. ”

"What game did you prepare?"

Rahu did not answer.

But the next morning, Magellan knew the answer.

"Wisdom and strength, the real game has to show both in order to get the result, but the gods never test these in the game, they like the game to rely on luck and alcohol to win, for the sake of asceticism, it is better not to continue that kind of game. ”

When Rahu said this, he was full of pride, he was proud of the game he had prepared for Magellan, of course, he was not worried about whether Magellan would win, if he lost, it would be better, then maybe Shiva would choose to win Magellan to continue his asceticism.

The Asura simply couldn't ask for it.

"The game I have for you is a horse sacrifice. ”

"It's too late. ”

Magellan knew what the so-called horse sacrifice was.

It was the grandest festival a nation could offer to the gods, it was long-lasting, enormous, essentially a war of conquest with an uncertain opponent, and in a game, it was indeed enough to meet the requirements of asceticism, but it took too long to be afraid it was too late.

"In this world, there won't be so much trouble, time is in time. ”

Magellan looked at Rahu's confident expression, a little puzzled in his heart, and a little surprised.

He knew that in this world, the power of the asuras was the same as that of the gods, but he didn't know how to complete a horse sacrifice before it was all over.

It was a grand sacrifice, probably the largest of all. The king of a country lets go of a mare and lets it walk freely, and the king's army follows him, and wherever the mare passes, if it is a foreign land, the army will fight against that country and win and bring it to its knees.

This is both a sacrifice and a war of conquest, and if the mare does not stop, the horse sacrifice will not end, and even if it has absolute strength and is invincible, a horse sacrifice will not be completed in a short time.

"It's just a game, after all. ”

Rahu led Magellan out of the resting courtyard and came to the square outside where yesterday's party had been, where the Asuras and mortals were already preparing.

What appeared in front of Magellan's eyes was a large crystal with a faint blue infestation, and a crack on his left hand side, which had been repaired by gold.

It's a miracle, a priceless treasure, and of course, considering that its owner, Asura, is actually the master of the whole world, it's reasonable to have something like this, but still, it's amazing.

"It's ......"

"Our chessboard, guest," Rahu was pleased with the expression on Magellan's face, which was exactly what he wanted to see, Asura liked all kinds of pleasures, including such show-offs, "We don't have much time, but the game has to be fun, so I have prepared this board for you, I think, you will like it." ”

"Then let the game begin. ”

Magellan smiled.

"Mastering time is a power that the gods can't have, but it's just a game. ”

Rahu raised a hand in front of the crystal, and the astonishingly large crystal appeared on top of it looking down on the earth in the air.

"There are five countries here. ”

With the sound of the asura speaking, non-existent lines floated on the earth, which was the border of the country, dividing the plains and rolling mountains into five pieces.

"One of them, the ambitious king, was too much to bear, and he was like a bull among kings, always panting for breath to find an opponent, so he prepared to perform a horse sacrifice. ”

"Around this country, there are four powerful kingdoms, they are actually not weaker than the ambitious white kingdom, but they are not determined to war. ”

Colors emerge from the earth that distinguish the five countries.

And so the horse sacrifice began. ”

A mare appears on the central white realm and begins to move.

"The rules of the game?"

"You are the white king who performs the horse sacrifice, everything in this country is in your hands, complete the sacrifice, and you win. ”
