Chapter 325: Chapter 298: Antaka Completely Collapses, Mother Save Me! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!) - Part 2
The Devas and Sons of the Mountains stepped into Kailash.
Gusts of cool, snowy wind brushed past, bringing a refreshing breath of air.
The Devas looked up.
Shiva sat on a large rock, his eyes tightly closed, his breath calm, his body wrapped in a layer of animal skin, utterly motionless, having entered a deep state of meditation.
Nandi, with hands joined in prayer.
His gaze intense, his eyes shimmering with brilliance, unwaveringly stared at Shiva, revealing a joyous smile.
Huh?
"What are you all doing here?"
Parvati shook her head, blinking her eyes.
Her glance swept across, spotting the Devas and various Sons of the Mountains, her heart slightly surprised as she glanced toward Indra.
Could it be because of that curse?
Last time, the Sons of the Mountains were cursed and needed Indra to remove it.
It’s not odd for the Devas and the Sons of the Mountains to be together!
But...
Why would they come to Kailash?
And where had Mayu Mountain gone?
"Praise the Lady Master!"
Indra smiled warmly, hands joined in prayer.
"Praise the Lady Master!"
"Praise the Lady Master!"
...
The Devas also began speaking in turn.
Parvati’s lips curved slightly as she lifted her right hand, marked with a red circular imprint on the palm, and gestured faintly towards the Devas and the Mountains.
"Why have you all come to Kailash?"
Parvati asked, curious.
Upon hearing this, Indra blinked, hands joined, and spoke softly, "The Asura has come again!"
"The Asura has come again?"
"Yes!"
"Then why don’t you deal with him?"
"I cannot fight, this Asura has been blessed."
Indra shook his head, speaking up.
Blessed?
Parvati’s eyes twinkled as she murmured, "A blessing from Brahma?"
"Yes!"
"A blessing from Lord Brahma!"
Indra’s eyes grew stern as he spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Parvati’s eyes shone like stars. She wasn’t surprised, knowing Asuras often sought blessings from Brahma and Mahadeva through severe meditation.
During this time, her husband had been meditating, so it was undoubtedly a blessing from Brahma.
"What kind of blessing is it?"
Parvati’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly asked.
Indra became serious.
This blessing on the Asura Tuoluoja would likely mean only Shiva’s son could kill him.
"Only Shiva’s son can kill this Asura Tuoluoja,"
Indra said.
Parvati’s eyes shimmered with an unusual joy.
"Shiva’s son?"
Parvati murmured.
"..."
The Devas suddenly changed their expressions.
This wasn’t good!
They apparently hadn’t explained it clearly to Indra.
Within this blessing,
only a child conceived alone by Mahadeva could harm Tuoluoja!
Sun God Surya took a deep breath, frowning as he glanced at the others; Fire God Agni’s expression shifted subtly; Wind God Vayu’s hands tensed and then relaxed in nervousness; Water God Varuna also slightly opened his mouth.
If the Lady Master knew the truth, she might become furious!
The Devas were very concerned!
"Heh heh hmm!"
"Heh heh hmm hmm..."
A deep, hoarse laughter suddenly echoed at the summit of Kailash.
Whish!
Indra and the others turned their heads, fixing their gaze.
Upon the Trishula.
Antaka’s shoulders slightly shuddered, his bowed head, suddenly emitted a hoarse laughter that reverberated through the snowy summit.
"Asura Tuoluoja?"
"It seems you have come for me!"
Antaka slowly raised his head, his mouth splitting into a wide grin, a smug expression appearing on his gaunt face.
"Release me!"
"And I shall help you defeat Tuoluoja!"
"Release me!"
Antaka exclaimed excitedly.
In that moment, he shook his body wildly, arms flailing, incredibly excited.
Being trapped on the Trishula for so many years, he could finally be freed, and once free from the Trishula, he could restore his prime state under the power of the blessing.
Then he could return to Earth, reclaim his throne as King of Asura, and regain his peak.
"Release me!"
"I can help you!"
"Release me, only I can defeat the King of Asura! Let me go!"
Antaka shook his head, angrily letting out a roar.
The red cloth covering his eyes was slightly moist at the edges, spilling over with tears of excitement.
So many years had passed!
He had almost given up, almost succumbed to despair, almost begged to surrender, when suddenly a turning point occurred, and he finally awaited his last chance to escape from here.
"Hahahaha!"
Antaka laughed excitedly.
Whoosh!
As Antaka’s laughter echoed, the expression on Parvati’s face grew tense.
Should she really release Antaka?
The Mountains too, showed their surprised and worried expressions.
"Antaka?"
Upon hearing this, Indra raised an eyebrow and sized up Antaka on the Trishula.
Now, Antaka looked very gaunt, his complexion pale, his arms thin as twigs, lacking any trace of blood, appearing severely anemic.
But he still shouted!
Antaka, after hanging there for so many years, still had so much spirit!
Better to leave him hanging a while longer!
"Lady Master!"
"Please, you and Mahadeva, conceive another child!"
Indra suggested.
Antaka is already finished, why not have a second child!
He was still waiting for Kashigyakya to come out and take over his position as Heavenly Emperor, how could he possibly let Antaka interfere midway.
Upon hearing this, Parvati’s eyes glinted, and a hint of anticipation appeared on her face.
She too, very much wanted to conceive a child with Mahadeva!
Last time, she covered Mahadeva’s eyes, and their combined powers conceived Antaka.
She did not even know about it!
Unknowingly, she had become a mother!
If she could experience the feeling of becoming a mother once again, it would certainly be a very joyous occasion.
Parvati’s lips curved slightly.
Boom!
At that moment, Antaka’s mind went blank, as if a terrifying thunderclap resonated in his ears.
His body trembled, as if struck by lightning!
Rumble rumble!
He had hung there for so many years and finally awaited an opportunity for release, only to see this last chance slipping away.
He couldn’t accept it!
"Wait!"
"I can still help you, give me a chance!"
Antaka looked around desperately, but unfortunately, there was no response from anyone nearby.
His heart sank, his last hope gone.
It’s over!
Antaka’s body trembled, this thought flashing through his mind.
He shook his head, struggling ceaselessly, completely breaking down.
"Mother!"
"Save me! Please save me! I know I was wrong!"
At that moment, Antaka could no longer hold back.
He pressed his hands together on his forehead, and raw sobs escaped from his lips.
Never again to be an Asura!
He would rather find a place to sing, sleep, and suffer than be an Asura again.
Anything would be better than hanging here!
"Mother!"
Antaka’s voice was immensely high, nearly resembling a ’Mama’, echoing around, immediately catching Parvati’s attention.
What?!
Parvati stood gracefully, her eyes sparkling.
Upon hearing Antaka’s words, her anticipatory expression disappeared instantly, she turned her head to look at Antaka, her features suddenly filled with hesitation, worry, and a touch of joy.
"What did you just call me?"
Parvati asked, surprised.
"Mother!"
Antaka pressed his hands together, and the red cloth covering his eyes involuntarily dampened, he repented.
"Child!"
Hearing this, Parvati blinked, her head shaking joyfully, suddenly overwhelmed by maternal love.
Antaka had just called her mother!
Whoosh!
Parvati quickly turned her head, her eyes flickering.
"Then when Lord Surya awakens, let him release Antaka!"
Parvati joyfully said.
Hearing this, the Devas exchanged glances.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sun God Surya, Fire God Agni, Wind God Vayu, and Water God Varuna, all four had strange expressions, eyeing each other.
Eventually, Surya stepped forward.
He looked worried, his hands pressed together, watching Parvati.
"Lady Master!"
"Lord Brahma’s blessing was ’a child born solely by Mahadeva’, it does not include your power!"
"Antaka is not suitable!"
"It seems also unnecessary for you, Lady Master, to exert yourself..."
Surya whispered.
