Chapter 508: Chapter 449: The Birth of Little Elephant God, Indulgence Asura! (Vote for monthly ticket!)
Master of Head Transplantation!
Shiva raised his hands, cradling the huge elephant head, and gently placed it on top of the headless corpse.
His gaze was intense, revealing a trace of solemnity.
The child’s head had been blasted by the Trishula, completely destroyed; the course of action now was to perform a head transplant.
The twin boys stood to one side.
They too promptly lent a hand, assisting Mahadeva in attaching the elephant head to the body.
Shiva remained unfazed.
A head transplantation, that’s all!
He had done it before, having once given Daksha a sheep’s head, which he later reverted back to a human head.
For Shiva, swapping heads was as routine as plugging something in.
Whoosh!
A ring of faint golden light flickered around the chubby child’s neck.
In the blink of an eye, the massive elephant head fused seamlessly with the body.
"I will endow him with life!"
Shiva spoke slowly.
At that moment, Indra brought his hands together in prayer, a smile on his face.
"Praise the Supreme Lord!"
Indra said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the Devas also brought their hands together, praising continuously.
"Praise the Supreme Lord!"
"Praise the Supreme Lord!"
...
Amidst these praises, Shiva appeared calm, while Vishnu watched the scene unfold, a faint smile on his lips.
Whoosh!
Within a flash of golden light.
The elephant head trembled slightly and finally moved.
The next moment, the eyes on the elephant head slowly opened, revealing a pair of pure pupils at this time.
"I’m not dead?"
The eyes of the young elephant god were filled with confusion as he spoke uncertainly.
The last thing he remembered was a jet-black Trishula flying straight towards him, and then his consciousness had faded entirely.
"How strange!"
"My nose is so heavy! My ears too! And my teeth!"
The young elephant god blinked and gently covered his left cheek with his hand, feeling a bit of toothache.
"Hmm?"
"My head feels so odd!"
The young elephant god said in confusion.
At this moment, a look of bewilderment crossed the young elephant god’s face; he turned his head in wonder and saw a crowd of familiar faces.
Hiss!
The young elephant god shuddered, taking a deep breath.
In this cave, standing beside him, was the very person who had shattered his head.
The young elephant god immediately sat up straight, sitting on the stone bed with his eyes wide open, staring in horror at the man.
"Kashigyakya!"
"He is your brother; you explain to him!"
Indra glanced at Kashigyakya beside him and saw him standing still, lost in thought. Indra immediately sent a telepathic message to him.
What is this guy daydreaming about?
On hearing Indra’s words, Kashigyakya was briefly startled.
"Oh!"
"Oh! I understand now!"
Kashigyakya shook his head.
He hurriedly stepped forward, approached the stone bed, blinked adjusting his mood, and began to speak with a smile.
"Brother!"
"This is our father!"
"He has just resurrected you by transplanting a new head for you!"
Kashigyakya said with a smile.
He reached out to gently pat the young elephant god’s back, soothing his own younger brother.
"Father?"
The young elephant god looked up bewildered, carefully turning his gaze to the man.
Their eyes met.
The young elephant god tilted his head, batting his large eyes, his look pure. His mind gradually calmed down as he emerged from the initial shock.
In an instant, he felt from the man’s gaze a wave of paternal love.
It was a feeling of pure affection!
"Father?"
The young elephant god blinked, murmuring in confusion.
Hearing this, Shiva’s face revealed a slight smile.
He looked at his child, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curling upward into a smile, like a crescent boat.
"That’s right, child!"
"You have been resurrected, go and see your mother!"
"She’s very worried about you now!"
Mahadeva Shiva said with a smile, gently shaking his head.
In that moment, Vishnu too smiled, his handsome face beaming like a marigold in spring, filled with sunshine.
"Resurrected!"
"Obstacle Remover Ganesha!"
Indra murmured to himself.
This son of Shiva would become the principal deity of worship, taking precedence in all future rituals, and as the Obstacle Remover, he would be the one to remove hurdles.
A rather powerful god indeed!
"This little elephant god is so powerful, he will defeat countless Asuras in the future!"
"Finally, it seems we can relax!"
Indra thought to himself.
His face lit up with a warm smile, his eyes calmly watching the little elephant god.
At this moment, the little elephant god shivered involuntarily.
He glanced doubtfully at Indra, whose smile was brimming, and felt an odd premonition that made him uneasy.
The little elephant god shook his head, casting these thoughts aside.
It must be an illusion, right?
First things first, find Mother!
The very next moment, the little elephant god hurriedly stood up and slid off the stone bed.
"Alright!"
The little elephant god steadied himself on the ground and put his palms together before Mahadeva Shiva.
Having said this, he quickly started to trot towards the exit of the cave.
The divinities exchanged glances and smiled as they closely followed him.
...
Outside the cave.
Parvati’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, her beautiful face full of anxiety, her hands tightly clenched at her waist, waiting anxiously.
She paced in circles, her back to the cave.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps arose abruptly, crisp as though of bare feet on gravel.
"!!!"
"Is it him?"
Parvati turned around sharply.
Her eyes widened instantaneously, tears glistening in them as she looked excitedly at the newcomer behind her.
"He’s truly resurrected!"
Parvati murmured to herself.
She stood there, almost speechless.
Although she had known all along that her son would be resurrected with an elephant head, the reality still felt somewhat difficult to accept.
The little elephant god approached Parvati with steady steps.
He looked up at his mother, whose emotions were complex, and immediately opened his mouth to speak.
"Mother!"
Mother! Mother! Mother!
At this vigorous call, Parvati trembled all over.
Blinking back tears, Parvati gazed at her son, her lips quivering with excitement and joy.
No matter what, this was her son!
"My child!"
Parvati moved forward with joy and embraced him.
At this scene, Indra looked on thoughtfully.
Indeed!
A true picture of maternal love and filial piety!
The root of this head-changing incident lay in the fact that Parvati had continuously conferred her will and strength to the little elephant god.
Hopefully, Parvati wouldn’t indulge the child too much in the future, not granting him every bit of her power.
...
Whoosh!
A golden aura moved gently, meandering endlessly through the world.
This was the very essence that had flown from the tips of Parvati’s fingers!
The moment this essence entered the Mortal Realm, it began to surge wildly.
Boom!
Thunder rolled across the sky, terrifying peals of thunder echoing in all directions.
The golden aura flickered, gradually taking the form of a childlike figure.
