Chapter 427: Chapter 381: Compete for a Position, Do You Know What Power This Is? (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)
Boom!
In an instant, the colossal beast prostrated, the clouds surged tumultuously, and, floating gently downward, both Supratika and Airavata were seeing stars and collapsed to the ground.
Indra descended from above.
He smiled and shook his head slightly, taking a deep breath with emotion.
"It’s quiet now!"
Indra murmured.
The whole world seemed to have quieted down, without a hint of noise.
How wonderful!
He turned his head to look behind him, and immediately, the glimmers of Shachi and Jyeshta, gathered together, were reflected in his eyes.
Shachi’s beautiful eyes twinkled, her expression joyous as she scrutinized Jyeshta before her.
So beautiful!
"This goddess is truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and also really knows how to speak!"
A smile flashed in Shachi’s eyes.
She intended to become Indra’s wife, this was beyond doubt, and although she had initially thought Jyeshta might pose a threat, it now seemed like it was not a problem.
Jyeshta was still very naïve, without any ulterior motives.
Very good!
"My beloved!"
"He really loves me, his relationship with Jyeshta is pure."
Shachi felt a stir in her heart.
After some time, she could even go to visit Grandmother Aditi - Grandmother Aditi would surely support their marriage.
All set!
Thinking this, Shachi’s face blushed subtly, feeling absolutely confident and enormously relieved.
"It’s been a long time since I saw Grandmother Aditi, I don’t know how she has been lately; she must be in ascetic meditation. I should visit and discuss our matters!"
"Grandmother Aditi will definitely bless me!"
A smile blossomed in Shachi’s heart.
In her heart, she indulged in the scene of Aditi blessing her, and a happy, expectant smile appeared on her beautiful face.
Meanwhile.
Indra, observing the amiable duo, smiled gently and shook his head slightly.
Shachi and she are getting along well!
That’s good!
"Next, I can engage in meditation and comprehend wisdom!"
Indra stroked his chin, already having chosen his spot for meditation.
Vighna!
Vighna was primarily the domain of the Protector God, very safe.
Secondly, he could also find Vishnu to inquire about Asura’s matters. The pink power from Sani’s wedding was still under his control.
Indra lowered his head and gazed at his right hand.
His clenched right hand flipped, slowly opened its fingers, revealing his wide-open palm.
Boom!
His fingers rose high, entwined with azure lightning, emitting a deep thunderous roar.
The lightning exploded vigorously and danced ceaselessly.
The sparks were dense, forming a net of heaven and earth, intertwining into a prison of thunder and lightning.
A strand of pink power was circling in his palm.
Whoosh!
This strand of pinkish breath fluttered up and down, like a thin mist of pink, fading in and out, hovering in the center of his palm.
"Strange power!"
In Indra’s eyes, the Thousand-Eye Power surged.
His eyes, like blazing suns, radiated brilliance, clearly seeing the strength of this pink power—it incites lust!
This strand of power could stir the deepest desires of the heart.
Just like the innate nature of the God of Love, Kamadeva!
Indra’s fingers clenched.
He glanced up at Shachi and Jyeshta, murmuring to himself, "Thankfully, I controlled my senses, which allowed me to grasp this power."
"If it were to fall into someone else’s hands, I fear the results would not be good!"
Indra criticized inwardly.
The next moment, he tilted his head and glanced at his palace.
It seemed he had not left a palace in Vighna before.
It was time to set one up!
But moving was not something he would do himself; he had to make good use of available manpower.
Both Supratika and Airavata were very strong.
They could very well compete for the position!
Swish!
Indra’s lips curved slightly, and he looked down at the fallen white elephant and white horse, stepping forward, patted Airavata on the head and brushed over Supratika’s mane, calling his mounts by name.
"Airavata!"
"Supratika!"
"It’s time for your test!"
Indra said seriously.
...
Above the Milk Sea.
Dark waves rose sky-high, foam churned, splashing boundless spray, the mist soared, entangled with deep clouds, and rolled up the icy fierce winds.
Streaks of glaring lightning thundered down, like predatory beasts ready to pounce, roaring downward, shaking all directions.
Boom!
Thunder roared through the void, echoing within Vighna.
This dazzling golden city stood resolutely in the middle of the Milk Sea.
Thousands of gates towered, leading deep into Vighna.
A golden figure moved freely about.
Garuda folded its wings behind its back and strolled leisurely across a meadow-like, verdant sea.
It slightly tilted its head up, gold-colored pupils twinkling with a smart light, gazing upon the green meadow. Its hands were on its hips, feeling pleased and joyful.
"Yet another peaceful day!"
Garuda took a deep breath, inhaling the fragrance of flowers and grass, and let out a sound of pleasure.
The next moment, it crossed its arms and started to contemplate.
"What should I do later?"
"Should I meditate with the Supreme Lord Narayana or go to the realm of ’Bodhara’ to catch snakes?"
Garuda’s thoughts were incessant.
Its life was simple and happy!
Either engaging in tough meditation with the Supreme Lord Narayana or going to the entrance of the realms of ’Bodhara’ and Mortal Realm to see which inattentive Naga would come out and catch it for a meal.
"What should I do?"
Garuda pondered deeply.
Suddenly, its ears twitched, and it abruptly heard the sound of breaking through the air.
It looked in the direction of the sound.
Whoosh!
A golden beam of light suddenly descended next to it, forming a tall figure.
This figure was tall and handsome, with muscular arms and resplendent in golden armor, its red cape fluttering back and forth.
The eyes sparkled!
They radiated the bright light of wisdom, like the sun.
Garuda raised its eyes slightly, looking at the newcomer in astonishment.
"Praise to Indra!"
"Praise to the holder of Vajra Pestle, praise to the wise one of the Vedas!"
Garuda pressed its palms together in salute.
Gratitude was evident in its eyes as it smiled and spoke.
Thanks to the Heavenly Emperor’s intervention, the issues of the Naga Tribe were resolved, and its mother had her vow lifted and was freed from her enslaved status.
Thus, in addition to reverence, Garuda felt a deeper sense of gratitude towards Indra.
"Praise to Garuda!"
Indra smiled.
He pressed his palms together and returned the salute to Garuda.
The next moment, he paused briefly, then said, "By the way, Yeshetuo, the sister of Goddess Lakshmi, has also arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Garuda tilted its head, a look of surprise flashing in its golden eyes.
Yeshetuo?
It slowly raised its head, looking into the distance.
At the horizon where the sea met the sky, dark clouds covered the firmament, the deep Milk Sea churned with giant waves, leaving behind only a glint of golden particles, drifting towards like seeds.
As the golden seed drew closer, a magnificent and towering outline gradually appeared.
It was a golden palace!
In front of the palace,
two giant white beasts were bound with ropes, panting heavily, emitting white steam as they flew, dragging the palace.
Garuda was slightly startled.
It seemed that Goddess Yeshetuo was inside the palace.
Yet what caught its attention even more was Airavata, who was pulling the palace in front.
"Airavata!"
"Is this guy working so hard now?"
Garuda crossed its arms, watching in astonishment at Airavata’s enormous figure.
Having spent considerable time with Airavata in the past, it naturally knew of Airavata’s character. This great white elephant was known to be lazy.
Yet now it had become so diligent!
"Being in the presence of the wise, Airavata has also become diligent through the influence of wisdom," Garuda pondered, shaking its head.
Thinking this, it spread its wings behind.
Flap!
The golden wings covered the sky, shining brightly, and it shot upwards to help.
Shortly after, Indra and Garuda had arranged the palace securely in Vighna.
Finally, Indra and the others met Vishnu and his consort.
Goddess Lakshmi looked pleased.
Her lips curled up with a smile, slowly rising from the Snake Bed and leading Goddess Yeshetuo away, the sisters catching up.
"Garuda, you may leave," Vishnu said, smiling at Garuda.
Garuda pressed its palms together and followed the command of the Supreme Lord.
Its body radiated golden light, transforming into a pillar of golden light, gradually drifting away.
For a moment, only Indra and Vishnu remained.
Indra’s eyes were steady, gazing at the amiable Vishnu. He suddenly lifted his right hand, slowly spreading his fingers apart.
A wispy pink mist meandered and floated!
"Supreme Lord!"
"Do you know what this Asura’s power is?"
