Chapter XXXVIII
"Of course, that's where it all started. ”
Brahma, the creator of the world, Vishnu, the guardian of the world, these two gods who had never appeared before Magellan's eyes, and Shiva stood together and reconstructed the space in a way that was obvious but no one could understand, and it was clear that they did not want anything to disturb what was to be done.
"Let's get started. ”
Shiva raised his hand, and a ripple rippled in the frozen space.
The Countess and Indra appeared in the clearing.
They had a blank look on their faces, because before that, Indra had been enjoying a feast with the Countess under the hospitality of the gods, and Shiva had not told them anything.
Magellan turned around, and then saw the countess.
The countess also saw Magellan at this time, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Everything was planned. ”
Shiva loudly declared that he could not wait, and that the long effort was finally close to taking over.
"Yes, everything was planned. ”
The countess smiled absent-mindedly.
"Give the artifact to the princess, mortal. ”
Magellan stretched out his hand and handed the vajra to the countess.
At that moment, a powerful force suddenly appeared, even next to the three supreme gods, it seemed unmatched.
The countess looked surprised.
"Then, all the necessary conditions have been made. ”
An even more terrifying force took control of the entire space in an instant, and it came from the three supreme gods, and only then did everyone clearly see what terrifying power they had, even if it was a desperately powerful artifact, it was extremely weak.
Magellan and the Countess are like worms in amber, imprisoned in the midst of the invisible.
Finally, the three great gods began their long-prepared plan.
Shiva started dancing.
Brahma and Vishnu chanted hymns.
It was like a game, or mere entertainment, and there was no power to change anything, though the dance was graceful and the prayer was majestic and far-reaching.
But something is happening, and in the midst of no one's knowledge, the process of great change is advancing.
Then suddenly, another voice began to sound.
"In the name of ascetics and brahmins, in the authority of practice and dharma-rectification, I, Brahmin Magellan......"
Indra hesitated to do something or not, but the three gods ignored it and continued the game on their own.
"I hereby curse for the cause of my unrewarded great suffering, I curse ......"
Indra raised the vajra in his hand, and a hint of foreboding flashed in his heart, but the three gods still did not react, and everything seemed to be spiraling out of control.
"Curse Shiva, curse Brahma, curse Vishnu......"
Indra let out a loud cry, and thunder flashed over the vajra, and there was no longer a trace of doubt in his heart, and now the king of the gods only wanted to put an end to this dangerous speech.
But he failed.
The terrifying thunder flashed in a sea of even more terrifying power, and when it was about to reach its goal, it stopped.
The power that imprisons mortals is also protecting him.
"They have forgotten to give the brahmins their due reward in order to protect the world, and I curse them, what they are doing now will fail!"
Indra prayed feebly, praying that this mortal's unexpected curse would not succeed, but he knew in his heart that it would be almost impossible.
The curse of the brahmin comes from the power of practice, and not so long ago, this mortal had just completed a great austerity that had not been rewarded.
The lotus flower in Shiva's hand was overwhelmed by the wild dance, and a petal fell.
It was just an ordinary lotus flower, although it could survive a wild dance like Shiva's.
This is entirely because of Shiva's incomparable skill.
Then Shiva stopped.
The gaze of the three great gods fell on Magellan, and there was nothing in it.
Magellan's curse came into effect.
The ritual they were carrying out failed.
"Was it a surprise?"
Before the three great gods could do anything with Indra, the countess spoke.
"Watch Your Words......"
"Your next word is, mortal. ”
Shiva was forcibly interrupted by the Countess, her face full of arrogance that bordered on provocation.
"Since you have chosen a plan full of flaws from the beginning, isn't it natural that the result will fail?"
"Put down your weapon, Indra, if I die, this artifact will disappear completely because of the loss of its owner, and what the three great gods want to accomplish will never be able to be accomplished again. ”
Indra frowned and put down the vajra in his hand.
He began to understand that these two mortals had completely lost control, and if they wanted to clean up the current situation, they could only rely on the three great gods, and he, even as the king of the gods, the best choice was to watch quietly and do nothing.
"Wonder why, two mortals were able to stop the three great gods from a plan they had been working on for a long time. ”
The three gods were silent.
They knew that it was a provocation, but what they couldn't be sure of was that this princess really knew what a provocation could bring?
There is no meaningless behavior in the world, and everything that seems meaningless follows some seemingly non-existent law, and when completed, some incredible result will be achieved.
That process is often referred to as a ritual.
The failed efforts of the three gods were a ritual, and if they answered the princess's question, it was possible to start another ritual - the result could be one that was beneficial to the two mortals.
Eventually, they decided to be patient.
The two mortals are still in control, they are imprisoned in the prison of space by the great power, the only chance that can pose a threat has been used, and now, they can only obediently wait for death.
The three great gods still have ready back-up, and now, all they need is a little time.
The countess ignored the silence of the three great gods and spoke to herself.
"Something that seems unrelated is inherently wonderfully connected, and when it's done, something is done. It's like the three gods have been preparing for so long, but the last step is just a dance. This is often referred to as a ritual, or sacrifice. ”
"The ritual you've just prepared has failed. ”
The princess knew more than the three gods expected, but they were still silent, it was just an episode before it was all over, and since the princess knew about the "ritual", it was difficult to say if her incredibly stupid behavior was another ritual, as long as the three gods spoke, the ritual would be completed.
Considering her previous performance, it's not impossible.
