Chapter 323: Chapter 297: The Tolerant One Indra, Who Else Wants to Step Up? (Monthly Ticket Additional Release!)_2
Indra asked,
"God of Wealth Kubera hastily squeezed through the crowd and stepped forward to speak, ’Heavenly Emperor, an Asura has actually stolen my treasury and even struck me. We must catch this Asura and punish him!’"
God of Wealth Kubera was furious.
He raised a finger, on which a huge gemstone ring constantly swayed, dizzyingly flashing.
Hearing this, Indra’s eyes shifted momentarily, and he couldn’t help but look towards the other Devas.
"What Asura?!"
Sun God Surya stepped forward, his expression grave, and said,
"We have seen Lord Brahma!"
"This Asura is the son of Vajra Body, named Tulaka, and he possesses the blessing ’only to be harmed by a child born of Mahadeva alone!’"
Surya said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Indra blinked, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Son of Vajra Body?
Tulaka!
He knew of this Asura!
It was rumored that this Tulaka Asura was extremely powerful, not only having ascended to the Heavenly Realm but also having attacked Kailash. In the end, Shiva begot Kashigyakya.
Kashigyakya broke Tulaka Asura’s blessing and only then was he killed.
After this event,
Kashigyakya established great merit and became the War God of the Heavenly Realm.
"Kashigyakya?"
"Truly a fine seedling to become the Heavenly Emperor!"
Indra murmured in his heart.
Good!
Excellent!
At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.
No matter how one looked at it, Kashigyakya was a fine seedling to become the Heavenly Emperor—whether it be background, martial prowess, or courage, he had it all.
Everything was nearly perfect!
No!
It was simply too perfect!
Indra’s thoughts flowed like a spring as he remained rooted to the spot, causing the other Devas to become anxious.
"Heavenly Emperor!"
"What should we do now?"
Fire God Agni asked anxiously.
Hearing this, Indra finally snapped back to reality, composed yet the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but curl into a slight arc.
"What are we waiting for?"
"Let’s go to Kailash, only the son of Mahadeva about to be born can defeat this Asura!"
Indra said.
He was eager, ready to set off immediately.
At this time, the Mountains saw this scene and became anxious.
They all were there to find Indra to lift a curse, and they absolutely couldn’t let Indra disappear from their sight again.
Whoosh!
Mandara Mountain, Mayu Mountain, and other Mountains rushed out and ran in front of Indra.
They brought their hands together, heads raised with tense eyes, looking beseechingly at Indra.
"Leader of the Adityas!"
"Vajra Holder! The bearer of divine retribution! Protector of the Vedas!"
"We were cursed by Raggedy Immortal for helping the Nagas fight against your blessing for the Garuda clan!"
"Our eldest brother even grew greedy over the divine Wish-Fulfilling Tree!"
"We wish to help you defeat the Asura!"
"Please sever our wings and lift the curse!"
Mandara Mountain said.
Hearing this, Indra slightly raised his eyebrows, surprised as he glanced at the Mountains. Then his gaze shifted toward the Devas.
The Devas shook their heads in a hurry to explain.
"So that’s how it is!"
Indra murmured to himself.
His eyes fell softly on the Mountains and he said,
"Every person will make mistakes out of recklessness, naivety, and anger, and indeed they should receive forgiveness,"
Indra said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, the Mountains couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope, joyfully looking towards Indra.
Such a tolerant Heavenly Emperor!
Could it be that their curse was about to be lifted?
"But..."
"A person who is overly tolerant will make many mistakes. Servants regard him with contempt, outsiders disrespect him, and these people will commit evil acts, coveting the Tolerant One’s wealth and eyeing his land!"
"In this world, being too forgiving will be seen as weakness!"
"Without displaying power, one cannot survive, nor will they gain respect. A person who does not command the slightest respect might as well be dead."
"Do you think I’m such a person?"
Indra said with gravity.
These foolish beings even dared to climb to the Heavenly Realm to steal his tree.
Do they really think he’s that good-natured?
Hearing this, the Mountains started to panic.
They knew that Heavenly Emperor Indra was magnanimous and seemed to forgive all sins, but this time they seemed to have truly angered Heavenly Emperor Indra!
"We’re at fault!"
"We apologize to you!"
With hands clasped, Mandara Mountain’s expression was one of shame as he knelt on the ground with a thud, bowed his head, and sighed deeply.
In this moment, his face was filled with guilt.
Thud!
The mountains also fell to their knees one by one, clasping their hands together and bowing deeply in a salute.
"Heavenly Emperor, please forgive us!"
"We have not affiliated with Mayu Mountain!"
"Forgive us, allow us to atone for our sins before You!"
The mountains spoke out one after another.
Whoosh!
Hearing this, Indra’s eyes narrowed, and he glanced over at the prostrated mountains before continuing, "To err is to need redemption!"
"First, follow me and with your ascetic discipline and self-control, prove to me the sincerity of your shame!"
Indra’s voice was sonorous.
He would have use for these mountains once he arrived at Kailash.
Now that the mountains were willing to obey, nothing could be better.
"Praise Indra!"
"Praise the Vajra Holder!"
"Praise the magnanimous Vedas Protector!"
The mountains praised in unison.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Indra turned to address the Devas.
"We are going to Kailash to seek Mahadeva and find a way to break this Asura’s blessing!"
Indra’s eyes flickered as he spoke.
This Asura could only be defeated by Shiva’s son ’Kashigyakya’, and he was immensely looking forward to Kashigyakya’s birth!
The Devas gleamed with divine light, shaking their heads in agreement, their faces filled with anticipation.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Devas and the mountains shot forth.
Indra turned his head to look at Shachi, offering a faint smile as a sign for her to stay, then suddenly he turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot.
"Hmm~"
Shachi stood tall and graceful.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled like stars as she gazed up into the sky, her lips slightly curled into a joyful smile.
Suddenly, she blinked and looked down at her hand where a beautifully crafted golden bracelet, heavy as a ripe sheaf of wheat, lay in her palm.
"The bracelet is ready!"
"I actually forgot to wear it."
Shachi blinked her eyes at the bracelet, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she tilted her head, expressing her vexation.
...
Earth.
Asura Temple.
The Asura Generals gathered here, a dense crowd, all focused on the formidable figure on the platform.
"Ahahaha!"
Tulaka Asura laughed with a wide grin.
He glanced over the Asuras and then slowly lifted his head to gaze at the empty roof above him, nodding his head with satisfaction.
No roof!
Good!
"I like this temple very much!"
"But it can be even better, hahaha!"
Tulaka Asura laughed loudly; his hands slowly clenched into fists and thrust upward towards the sky with force.
Boom!
Rumble!
The temple shook, and stones crumbled as the walls of the Asura Temple collapsed in an instant, leaving nothing but an empty platform.
Whoosh!
In that moment, the Asura Generals exchanged looks, all their attention on Tulaka Asura.
This Tulaka Asura was too arrogant!
Outside the temple.
As the walls of the temple fell, many Asuras outside also saw the scene within, looking up in curiosity.
"That’s better!"
"Now I can have a clear view of the Asura Realm!"
Tulaka Asura said with a laugh.
The next moment, he gestured towards the multitude of Asuras outside, and with a swift flicker of golden light, mountains of gold rained down from the sky, along with sharp divine weapons, heaps of gemstones, exquisite clothes, and fine foods.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As these treasures fell, the earth quaked as though shaking in an earthquake.
Whoosh!
At this moment, all the Asuras’ eyes widened, greedily beholding the scene before them.
Hehe!
Tulaka Asura’s mouth curved slightly upward.
Standing atop the platform, with arms outspread, he shouted loud and clear.
"I am Tulaka!"
"Your future king! The Earth Realm’s Master!"
"All these riches are yours if you choose to follow me, and not just these—soon the entire Three Realms shall be ours!"
Tulaka Asura declared loudly.
No sooner had he finished than an Asura stepped forward, gripping a Curved Saber and flying toward Tulaka Asura.
"Kill you!"
"And all this will be mine!"
The Asura General shot forth like a shooting star.
Swoosh!
Seeing this, Tulaka Asura didn’t panic; rather, he seemed to have everything under control. With a cold laugh and a shake of his head, his tall hair swaying gently.
"Heh~"
"Who else wants to try? Come all at once!"
