Chapter 320: Chapter 295: Giving Another Chance, The Devas are Furious! (Vote for monthly tickets!)
"What!!!"
Upon hearing this voice, the Devas turned their heads to look, fixing their gaze.
The newcomer was a fat man clad in purple finery.
So fat he was spherical, with each step he took upon the clouds, his whole body of flesh wobbled up and down, issuing a ’thud, thud’ sound.
Adorning his purple finery were gems and crystals galore.
His ten fingers were bedecked with shiny golden rings, and on his wrists and upper arms he wore gold bracelets and armlets, with all sorts of necklaces, earrings, and tiaras of gold jewelry draped over his entire body.
Whoosh!
Gleaming gold, casting light all around.
"So bright!"
Sun God Surya frowned.
He immediately turned his head, raising his hand, spreading his fingers, to shield his double-eyed face.
It wasn’t just Surya; even Agni and other Devas, as well as the Sons of the Mountains, turned their heads and covered their eyes in unison.
So dazzling!
Really, so dazzling!
Whoosh!
At that moment, the gleaming gold fat man finally rushed in front of the gods, letting out a panicked cry.
"It’s terrible!"
"An Asura has come to Kubera’s city and stolen all the treasures!"
God of Wealth Kubera, in a panic, flailed his arms, his fat jiggling, as he yelled.
Kubera’s city!
Also known as Curly-hair City.
This was the palace guarded by the God of Wealth, Kubera!
This palace, situated on Gandhamadana Mountain, decorated with gold and crystals, made even the surrounding clouds turn gold in its reflection, exuding utter magnificence.
He was the guardian of wealth in the world!
Upon hearing this, the many Devas were taken aback, their eyes wide as they stared intently at the God of Wealth Kubera.
"Kubera, how many Asuras have come that even you could not hold them off?" Fire God Agni said in astonishment.
Kubera was no pushover; as the God of Wealth, the guardian of riches, he possessed considerable martial ability. And yet, he had been pillaged by an Asura.
Hearing this, Kubera’s face fell.
He spread his heavy hands and pointed a single finger, murmuring.
"Only one!"
One!
Upon hearing this, the Devas were taken aback, and then they heard Kubera speak.
"That Asura, covered in black, with bald spots on either side of his head, and the hair in the middle sticking up like a rooster’s comb!"
"He took away the treasures from the treasury!" Kubera said.
Bald on both sides?
Hair in the middle standing up like a rooster’s comb?
This Asura...
"Toraga!"
The Devas murmured under their breath.
There was no doubt that these characteristics belonged to the very Toraga who, having just completed his arduous ascetic practice, had disappeared.
This fellow, upon completing his arduous practice, went straight to Kubera’s city in the Mortal Realm and stole the treasures guarded by Kubera.
What in the world was this Asura trying to do?
"You all come and help me, call the Heavenly Emperor too, let’s defeat the Asura together!"
"Take back the treasures!" Kubera swung his arms, the various jewels shining so brightly that they involuntarily turned their heads away.
Devas: "..."
They wanted to help, but they really couldn’t defeat him!
If they couldn’t defeat him, then what?
"This Asura is powerful, he has been blessed by the Supreme Lord Brahma; apart from the children born of Mahadeva himself, no one can harm him!" Wind God Vayu declared.
"Ah?"
"Mahadeva is so benevolent, he will surely help us!" God of Wealth Kubera interjected.
The benevolent Mahadeva, upon seeing an Asura that couldn’t be dealt with, would certainly not stand idly by!
Why did all the other Devas wear such troubled expressions!
"..."
"Have you considered the feelings of the Lady Master? The Lady Master wishes to bear children with Mahadeva. Would she accept it if Mahadeva were to bear a child alone?" Water God Varuna’s gaze was piercing as he suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, God of Wealth Kubera finally came to a realization.
"Lady Master!"
Kubera, with his plump neck retracted, muttered under his breath.
It has come to this!
They might only be able to let Mahadeva conceive a child alone, but Lady Master Parvati would likely be very angry, after all, Parvati has always hoped to conceive a child together with Mahadeva.
Now if Mahadeva conceives on his own, the Lady Master would surely be enraged!
An angry Lady Master would probably be terrifying!
Hiss!
Kubera couldn’t help but shudder.
The Devas looked anxious and afraid. Glancing around, their expressions became serious, and for a moment, they stood frozen, not knowing what to do.
This move was too dangerous!
The Lady Master might actually devour them, in the physical sense of the word!
Roar!!!
At that moment, a series of elephant trumpets suddenly sounded from the sky, as the White Elephant Airavata descended, its huge hooves landing on the ground and stirring up ripples of white mist.
Airavata, flicking its trunk, swaggered over.
Wave after wave of elephant trumpets disturbed the peace, reaching the ears of the gods.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, all the Devas heard the sound of the elephant trumpets.
Their expressions tightened.
Surya’s radiance suddenly flashed as he slowly turned his head to gaze at the mountains; the Fire God Agni also widened his eyes, his stature fierce.
The Water God Varuna’s gaze was also profound.
The Wind God Vayu even swiftly drew a Divine Spear, pointing at the Sons of the Mountains, and angrily said,
"You evil mountains!"
"Your souls are as despicable as snakes, daring to steal the Divine Tree of Wishes!"
The Wind God Vayu roared.
Whoosh!
At that time, Mandara Mountain stepped forward, palms pressed together in prayer.
"O radiant Devas!"
"My elder brother Mayu Mountain has been consumed by greed, he has now been defeated, and we have realized our mistake, please forgive us!"
Mandara Mountain pleaded.
Hearing this, Wind God Vayu looked displeased, his anger was palpable.
"Mandara Mountain!"
"You should not side with them. Everyone knows that feeding a venomous snake will only result in being bitten by its poisonous fangs,"
Wind God Vayu scolded.
Upon hearing this, Mandara Mountain shook his head, his face betraying his distress.
"They too were influenced by evil, I hope they can be given a chance. The great battle between the Devas and the Asuras is about to begin!"
"I think we can also be of help to the Devas!"
Mandara Mountain implored again.
Hearing this, Wind God Vayu furrowed his brow, looking towards Surya with hesitant eyes.
Sun God Surya’s brow slightly furrowed, deep in thought.
Water God Varuna shook his head.
He glanced at Mount Gaya and then turned away, whispering secretly, "Not all of them followed Mayu Mountain, at least Mount Gaya also resisted."
"Moreover, they are still the brothers of Lady Master..."
As he spoke, the Devas exchanged glances, a glint of insight suddenly lighting up in their eyes.
The mountains could still be useful!
Not only could these great mountains fight, but they could also be sent forth when the Lady Master became furious!
The Devas fell silent.
[Mandara Mountain] grew anxious.
Pressing his palms together and nodding his head, he spoke again, "Devas, my senses are keen across the Three Realms, maybe I can locate the Heavenly Emperor’s position!"
Whoosh!
At these words, the Devas’ eyes brightened with excitement, their hearts uplifted.
The mountains were indeed useful!
"Then let’s find the Heavenly Emperor first, and leave the judgment to Indra!"
Sun God Surya raised his right hand, golden Holy Belt dangling down, emitting golden light, as he spoke.
"Fine!"
Mandara Mountain replied with a resounding voice, immediately agreeing.
At that moment, Mandara Mountain took confident strides forward, standing at the center of everyone, and slowly spread his massive arms wide.
"Mandara Mountain!"
"You must find him!"
The mountains watched Mandara Mountain nervously.
The Devas also concentrated, their expressions steely, awaiting Mandara Mountain’s perception.
Swoosh!
Just then, a large dog with its tongue out, came rushing over on all fours from afar.
"Woof?"
"What are they doing?"
Sarameya’s ears suddenly perked up, his eyes full of curiosity as he watched the group of people in front of him.
