Chapter 17: The Gods of the Earth
"I've never seen an asura, so what the hell is that?"
Indra held his weapon high to keep the countess behind him, and he was like a great enemy, because the asura had already come.
"You won't want to know. ”
The Countess also felt something approaching, but it was not at all like a living being, it was a power of the same origin as the divine power, but very different, full of twisted and uncontrolled gushings, more like a flood, or an avalanche.
Thunderbolts began to flash from the thunderstorm god's weapon, and the lightning lit up the darkness, only to disappear in an instant.
The frenzy of darkness finally came, and in an instant, everything was overwhelmed by darkness.
The countess saw nothing in front of her, as if she had fallen into the water, and she stretched out her hand, just as she wanted to do something, when she heard the roar of thunder.
With a thunderbolt, lightning illuminated the darkness, and Indra's dancing form appeared, like a man who held back the tide with a sword, waving his weapon all the time, and miraculously, at least not yet, he was not drowned by the tide.
The continuous thunder shook like a never-ending storm roaring on the snow of Mount Meru, the electric light swirled and swirled, and two powerful forces collided, entangled, and fought fiercely in the darkness.
Indra fought furiously, he was the god of thunderstorms, the most powerful of the gods, the master of the highest place of Mount Meru, but now, facing Asura, the powerful god did not have the confidence to win, his power was consumed quickly, and the darkness was getting stronger and stronger.
The princess couldn't have an accident, and the stronger the asura, the more certain that the gods needed these two mortals who could complete their austerities ahead of time.
Indra quickly made up his mind, and with a huge thunderclap, an unprecedented terrifying thunderbolt completely repelled the darkness in an instant.
"Let's go!"
Then the Emperor stretched out his hand and crossed the darkness, and a gate of light appeared in front of the countess, and behind it was the next heaven, and there was a lotus pond among the green grass, and the lotus flowers in the water were blooming, reflecting the clear waves, and it was dazzling.
The countess did not move.
A trace of despair flashed in Indra's heart, he knew how powerless mortals were in front of the asuras, the darkness was surging, and he still couldn't care about it for a moment after all.
The darkness had returned, the light vanished in an instant, and the gate crumbled.
Indra held out his hand to the countess, but before he could touch Helen, the light was completely gone.
Darkness overwhelmed everything.
Then the darkness was illuminated again.
It was a dazzling rainbow of light, like the light refracted by gemstones, from the flame-like red to the dreamy blue, as if countless gems filled the entire space in an instant.
The Asura retreated, at least for the time being, the formless could not touch what was within the light, and the darkness was reluctantly turbulent, roaring, but unable to get closer.
"Thank you. ”
The countess lowered her raised right hand and stood in front of Indra.
The mighty god fell to the ground wearily, lowered his weapon, and gasped feebly.
"How did you do that?"
"Tell me first," the countess smiled at Indra, "what the gods are trying to do." ”
Indra struggled to his feet, but was pushed back by the countess, and in despair he found that he had little strength left.
"Mortal!"
"Pay attention to your attitude. ”
The countess pushed Indra to the ground and stomped on his head: "If you think you were born noble, then so am I, if you think that strength is everything, then now I am far superior to you, I don't mind throwing you to Asura, I am curious how the old enemy of the gods will treat you, the king of the gods." ”
"The austerity must be done, you don't understand, it's not for the gods, it's for the universe!" Indra finally gave up in despair, he was powerless to resist the countess, and here, the god of thunderstorms was alone, "Even the three supreme gods will not survive the end of the universe, there will be no mortals left in the new world, and it may take hundreds of millions of years for new mortals to be born." ”
"No, no, no," the countess knew that Indra had given in, and he finally began to speak in the way the countess liked, "I don't care about your so-called end of the universe, tell me all that you have done to Magellan, including that ridiculous austerity. ”
"What the hell do you want to know?"
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
Indra finally decided to start at the beginning, and although that would make the story very long, it would at least satisfy the countess:" There was once a god who was almost simply fond of penance, and he had a long life, and for all ten thousand years, that god walked barefoot on the cold snow-capped mountains, which was an austerity that surpassed all living beings, and Vishnu had to go to him personally and give him the reward for his asceticism, otherwise the asceticism would continue, and one day the god would want Shiva to open his eyes of destruction and end the universe, and the great god could not refuse. ”
Then the ascetic told the Great God that the only reward he wanted was to seal it up and leave it to another mortal who had completed his assigned asceticism. That designated ascetic, a mortal, wins in a game with the gods. ”
"So you really want me or Magellan to complete the austerity in order to get the ascetic deserve in return?"
"The ascetic gives the reward as a gift to the ascetic Guru, the greatest ascetic Lord Shiva, the only ascetic in the world who has attained a higher degree than him, as long as your austerity is completed, the gods have the power to save the universe, and everything, including mortals, all living beings will be saved. ”
The countess knew that Indra was not lying, but she still felt that this was not the whole truth, and that there must be a deeper reason for what the gods had done, but unfortunately the god in front of her probably didn't know what it was: "Compared to your current universe, I think the new universe will be a little better." ”
"There will be no you and Magellan there, and until the end of this universe, the Asura will continue to create horrific disasters!"
The countess smiled: "There is only this small place in the universe of the gods, your ignorance far exceeds that of all mortals, I will not perish with you, and I don't mind that the Asura will make trouble for the gods, and besides, don't delay time with this nonsense, my patience is running out." ”
Indra struggled to raise his head, but he failed without hesitation, and the god's eyes widened as he watched a silver dagger condense from the countess's right hand.
It was a weapon that could kill the gods, and fear gripped the god of the storm, and for the first time he began to believe that the gods really weren't immortal.
"The three gods know everything. ”
