Chapter 314: Chapter 290: A plan after failure, I will invite Lord Soma! (Vote for monthly tickets!)
Mayu Mountain lifted his leg, his knee bending accordingly, and his foot fell heavily.
Stomp!!!
His footsteps resounded like falling mountains or rather as if they themselves were mountains, entirely collapsing.
Mayu Mountain’s complexion suddenly changed, a wave of weakness and powerlessness surged into his heart.
Boom!
Rumble!
At that moment, within his body, the sound of rocks grinding against each other erupted, akin to an earthquake, or the collapsing sound of a landslide.
He instantly felt his knees buckle, tumbling forward to the ground.
Mayu Mountain’s eyes widened, as he lay prone on the ground, staring in disbelief at his hands.
He had actually fallen!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Sons of the Mountains widened their eyes, all looking at this scene.
Some showed expressions of shock, others were stupefied, and some had a trace of pleasant surprise amidst their astonishment.
But without exception, they were all immensely shaken by the fact that unfolded before their eyes.
"What’s wrong with Big Brother?"
"He actually knelt down!"
"Could it be the goddess Jyeshta? Impossible, we are the Sons of the Mountains, the treasury of the earth, with endless Divine Power."
Confusion riddled the Sons of the Mountains amidst their shock.
At this time, Fire God Agni took a deep breath.
His eyes were sharp, intently staring at the figure within the pile of leaves, showing a serious demeanor as he spoke in a deep voice.
"You’re right!"
"The mountain is the treasury and wealth of the world!"
"But Jyeshta is the embodiment of poverty, obstacles, and misfortune. The closer you are to Jyeshta, the faster your power will dissipate!"
Fire God Agni spoke in a solemn voice.
Upon hearing this, the Sons of the Mountains instantly showed an alarmed expression, involuntarily stepping back.
Terrifying!
This Jyeshta seemed to specifically target them!
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Get! Up!"
At that moment, Mayu Mountain violently raised his head and bellowed, his massive arms glowing with a golden radiance, propping against the ground like a Linga Pillar ablaze with raging flames.
An invisible shockwave immediately burst forth, spreading outward from Mayu Mountain in all directions.
"Big Brother!"
"This is our Big Brother’s power!"
"The strength of the leader of the mountains!"
The Mountains widened their eyes, shifting swiftly from their initial panic and despair to joy, their gazes filled with anticipation as they looked towards Mayu Mountain.
Whoosh!
Sun God Surya was also startled.
"Worthy of being the eldest among the mountains, he can still get up!"
Surya murmured.
This fellow was so close to Jyeshta, yet he could still shout so loudly, even having the strength to resist.
Truly formidable!
"Indeed, being the foremost among the hundred children of the Mountain King, his strength is extraordinary!"
Wind God Vayu also nodded, speaking slowly.
Fire God Agni and Water God Varuna were closely watching this scene without batting an eyelid.
The Mountains looked on at Mayu Mountain with tension and joy.
"Ahhh!!!"
Mayu Mountain gritted his teeth, his face twisted fiercely, using all his might to issue a roar.
His complexion turned a vivid shade of bright red.
Divine Power surged once more!
He slowly propped up his upper body, which rose high, like an upturned crescent moon boat, seemingly about to rise again at any moment.
"Inconceivable!"
"Can he truly withstand the power of goddess Jyeshta?"
Water God Varuna shook his head, staring intently at this scene, exclaiming in surprise.
But then immediately afterwards.
Bang!
Mayu Mountain’s arms gave out, and he fell heavily to the ground with a thunderous vibration.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the eyes of the Devas and the Sons of the Mountains sharpened, and all gazes converged on Mayu Mountain, who could not rise again.
"We must rescue Big Brother!"
Spiced Drunken Mountain said in a panic.
As he spoke, he quickly exerted his strength, raised his hand towards the fallen Mayu Mountain, and pointed. Blue light glowed at his fingertips, a blue Divine Power Rope shooting out towards Mayu Mountain.
This rope streaked through the air, coiling like a serpent. Yet as the Divine Power Rope approached within a distance of Mayu Mountain, it dissolved into specks of luminescence, scattering into the air.
Uhh...
The crowd exchanged glances.
"How are we supposed to save him?"
Spiced Drunken Mountain murmured.
Were they supposed to go over there as well?
They would definitely fall before they even got close, right?
They certainly would!
At this moment, Water God Varuna could not help but step forward and speak, "I have some experiential wisdom. You might as well join hands and pull Mayu Mountain out together."
"The strongest among you should pull from the back!"
Water God Varuna said.
Back when they churned the Ocean of Milk and pulled on Shesha.
Indra had been at the back of the Devas’ team, tugging, and from these observations, Varuna had gained some experience.
One person alone might not suffice, but there were others!
Hearing this, the Mountains had a sudden realization.
That makes sense!
"Praise be to Varuna, praise be to the Devas!"
"Praise be to Varuna, praise be to the Devas!"
...
The Mountains couldn’t help but bring their hands together in a gesture of respect and praise.
Before long, the Mountains linked hands, forming a human chain, with the mighty Naga Mountain pulling his brothers from the rear, while Xiangzui Mountain led slowly in front.
The Mountains moved forward bit by bit.
The Devas shook their heads and watched with anticipation.
"Let me pray and sing praises for you!"
Fire God Agni raised his hands, joined them in prayer, and then spread them apart, revealing in his palm a clear, snow-white bone plate and a small golden rod.
Thump! Thump!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Rhythmic tapping sounds began to echo.
"O Sons of the Mountains, towering mightily, your summits touching the stars~"
"Abode of myriad spirits, Earth’s treasure vault, sheltering boundless vitality~"
"O children of the Snow Mountain King!"
"You weave like Nagas, you are the shield of the land~"
As Fire God Agni’s praises resonated, the Devas couldn’t help but join in the chorus.
Swoosh!
At that moment, Xiangzui Mountain’s eyes gleamed with intensity, feeling as if he had gained more strength through these praises.
With resolve in his heart, he slowly moved forward.
As he gradually approached Jyeshta, he suddenly felt his body weaken.
The arm he had raised almost fell.
"Ah!!!"
Xiangzui Mountain gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, straining every muscle to reach out and instantly grab Mayu Mountain’s arm.
At that moment, Naga Mountain at the rear sprang into action, leaning backward and forcefully exerting his strength.
With a swift pull, Mayu Mountain was yanked out of the weakening domain.
"I’m back!"
"Hiss!"
As soon as Mayu Mountain broke free from Jyeshta’s domain, he abruptly propped up his upper body, his eyes bloodshot and breath ragged.
Gasping heavily, he then raised his head, looking at Jyeshta with lingering fear.
This creature...
Mayu Mountain clenched his teeth, cursing inwardly.
He had strength when he first approached, but as time passed, his power kept slipping away.
In the end, he didn’t even have the strength to stand!
"Jyeshta!"
"With her here, how can we pray to the Divine Tree for aid?"
Mayu Mountain furrowed his brow, murmuring to himself.
This creature was sitting under the tree!
They had no chance to even approach!
"Shall we seek Parvati’s help?"
"Hmph, no way!"
Mayu Mountain’s eyes narrowed slightly, he thought.
In fact, he did not like his sister Parvati, even detested this sister who was too dazzling, completely overshadowing him at home.
At this time, the Mountains looked at each other in dismay.
"Without the Divine Tree, how are we to find Indra?"
"Shall we consult Lord Brahma, or Narayana? Or should we seek Mahadeva?"
"At that time, Narayana himself told us to find Indra!"
...
The Mountains murmured privately, deeply troubled.
It was then that a reddish figure appeared, Fire God Agni walked over slowly.
"Actually, there is a way!"
"If we could enhance the power of the ritual, calling Soma to come, and use the Soma Wine he personally brewed for the offering, the effect would definitely be better."
"Perhaps the power of the Divine Tree could suppress Goddess Jyeshta!"
Fire God Agni spoke.
Soma Wine!
This was the finest offering!
If it was wine imbued with Soma’s power, the effect would indeed be much better!
Upon hearing this, Xiangzui Mountain’s eyes lit up.
"Then let’s hurry!"
"I am good friends with Soma. Back then, he and Rukshini even danced upon me!"
