Chapter 451: Chapter 395: The Shattered Divine Wheel, Everything Will Be Alright! (Seeking Monthly Pass!)_2
There was indeed not a single figure in sight!
"Run!"
"Do you think you can escape?"
"We chase!"
Dulantak nodded slightly, his eyes bursting with a chilling cold light.
...
Whoosh!
A flash of light.
Surya opened his eyes and saw a grassy field with fresh flowers all around, a lake rippling nearby, its waters clear and serene — a sight of peaceful contentment.
"This is..."
Surya paused in slight surprise, murmuring.
"Vighna!"
Next to him, Soma exclaimed in surprise.
The two of them got up confusedly, looking around, and then saw Agni and the others with equally perplexed faces.
"Agni, Vayu, Varuna!"
"You are all here too!"
exclaimed Surya in surprise.
He blinked thoughtfully, and said, "The Supreme Lord has brought us all here!"
Vayu shook his head and replied.
"Indeed, the Supreme Lord has brought us all here!"
Vayu looked around and saw that most of the Devas seemed to be present.
Rahu did not seem to be there!
But that didn’t matter.
Rahu, who used to be an Asura, would not have any issues!
Whoosh!
A radiant light descended once again, coalescing into the figure of Vishnu.
"That Maya Firmament is the result of arduous meditation and will retaliate with eightfold force against any power."
Vishnu’s face was slightly grim.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes as he spoke slowly.
Normally, facing such a problem, they would go to Kailash to consult Mahadeva for solutions.
However, after just one defeat on this mission, Kashigyakya was so infuriated that he returned to his Divine Form.
If Parvati found out about this, the consequences could be severe.
Therefore, they better not go seeking Mahadeva now.
"We must have a blessing to counter this Maya Firmament!"
said Vishnu decisively.
Upon hearing this, the Devas were slightly taken aback.
"An eightfold counterattack!"
"Just as I thought, I knew it was abnormal when I saw it!"
Sun God Surya grumbled with a displeased expression.
If these Asuras did not receive a blessing, they couldn’t possibly be so powerful!
"An eightfold counterattack, no wonder we were defeated so miserably. It seems we were too strong, these shameless Asuras dare to use our own power against us!"
Fire God Agni’s eyes blazed with fire as he spoke angrily.
These Asuras were only capable of using these kinds of tactics that came with blessings from arduous meditation!
"Supreme Lord, please protect us!"
Wind God Vayu clasped his hands together, praying aloud.
Water God Varuna also looked anxious and said, "Supreme Lord, what should we do now?"
Hearing this, Vishnu thought for a moment.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze moving through the immovable Thousand-Gated City until it settled on a large piece of pure white stone.
"Hmm!"
"In Indra’s hands, there’s a blessed weapon that can cut through all!"
"If we awaken Indra, all will be well!"
Vishnu shook his head.
The Devas exchanged glances, their eyes hardening slightly as they began to show a glimmer of understanding.
"Exactly!"
"That ’Divine Cleaver’, that Divine Axe, it holds a blessing to cleave through all!"
Surya’s eyes widened with realization.
He turned to Vishnu and, placing his palms together, prayed, "Praise Narayana, please lead us to the Heavenly Emperor; only he can defeat the Asuras. Please help us find the Vajra Holder!"
"Praise Narayana!"
"Praise Narayana!"
...
The Devas prayed earnestly, clasping their hands as they looked up to Vishnu, their voices filled with deep veneration.
"..."
Vishnu’s smiling expression grew solemn, his demeanor becoming more serious.
He indeed knew where Indra was!
However...
Indra was still in deep meditation!
With this thought, Vishnu’s gaze flickered to the web of cracks covering the surface of the Mysterious Wheel of Sight at his fingertip.
If the Mysterious Wheel of Sight collided with the Maya Firmament once more, shattering it was inevitable.
It was better to deal with the brothers Dulantak and Dulu Gang first!
"Let’s go!"
said Vishnu, his voice decisive.
His body immediately flashed, transforming into a ball of golden light, which followed suit.
The Devas showed expressions of joy and followed the orb of light, each flashing with their own dazzling, multicolored Divine Power, surging up into the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Vishnu and the assembly of gods arrived before a palace.
"Still at Vighna!"
"Indra has actually been here with the Supreme Lord all along!"
Fire God Agni’s face was filled with joy, but he didn’t bother with anything else, hurrying up the steps and towards the inside.
Suddenly, the sound of a wooden staff striking the ground burst forth.
Thump!
As this sound emerged, Fire God Agni felt the strength drain from his body; his legs gave way and he collapsed on the steps.
"Agni!"
Sun God Surya raised his hand, calling out to Agni, then hurried forth as well.
Thump!
The next moment, Sun God Surya also fell, tumbling down from the stairs with a thud.
"!!!"
The Devas were shocked.
Soon after, they felt this force spreading, quickly enveloping all the Devas.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
One after the other, the Devas fell to the ground.
Vishnu blinked, revealing a slight smile, as if deep in thought.
By the temple’s gate.
A figure in black robes emerged from the edge of the door frame, peeking out like a mole from underground, observing the gods.
She seemed to recognize someone, slowly stepping forward.
The black robe was very large, covering the face and body, only revealing a cascade of pitch-black hair from the head.
The robed figure extended a forefinger, carefully blowing a breath of air.
"Shh!"
"Everyone, please, keep it down!"
A subdued, quiet voice arose.
Upon hearing this, Vishnu smiled faintly.
Gazing down at the Devas collapsed beside him, he shook his head with amusement, saying, "Jyeshta, the Devas have been unfortunate enough after leaving Indra’s side; don’t make them suffer any more hardships!"
"Let us in quickly!"
Vishnu said with a light chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Jyeshta slowly raised her head, showing a look of hesitation and confusion.
With both hands slightly raised, the wide, black sleeves gathered together,
"The Supreme Lord is in meditation!"
"Moreover, you have also told me that this meditation is important, not to be disturbed by anyone else!"
Jyeshta muttered.
Upon hearing this, Vishnu’s smile grew stiff.
It seemed he indeed had advised that, but it was meant to offer Indra a peaceful meditation environment to gain more wisdom.
However, that was meant for others!
After all, he was also Jyeshta’s brother-in-law, and this place, Vighna, was his home.
"Now the Three Realms are caught in a crisis, and the Devas are being persecuted by the Asuras!"
"Indra’s salvation is needed!"
Vishnu said in a calming voice.
As he said this, the ground beneath his feet shook slightly, followed by a sudden, terrifying tremor.
Boom!
Rumble!
The Thousand-Gated City vibrated and trembled, its golden brilliance shining splendidly in all directions.
"Devas!"
"Come out!"
"If you have the courage to be our enemies, then have the courage to come out!"
The voice of [Dulantak] echoed throughout Vighna.
Vishnu’s gaze sharpened.
In his eyes, the scenes of the Milk Sea were reflected one after another.
The immense Maya Firmament hung above the Milk Sea, circling outside Vighna, continuously revolving, hurling weapons from the sky to bombard the imperturbable Thousand-Gated City.
Seeing this scene, Jyeshta immediately showed a look of nervousness.
She clutched the withered staff tightly, her expression anxious.
"How formidable!"
"Don’t let them break in! Don’t let them break in!"
Jyeshta whispered to herself.
Looking down at the trembling ground, she took a deep breath as if mustering courage, grasped the withered staff tightly, and headed outside.
"I must go! I have to go!"
"I will go to protect the Supreme Lord!"
Jyeshta talked to herself in a murmur.
In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a ray of light and headed outside.
Oh?
Seeing this scene, Vishnu revealed a smile, nodding slightly.
Goddess Jyeshta was not adept in combat, yet she was almost never harmed; after all, what could be more deadly than misfortune itself?
Stalling for time would not be an issue!
"Jyeshta!"
"Let them witness the power of misfortune!"
