Chapter 594: Chapter 494: Asura of Water, Death Waters
"Golden Rope, golden me!"
"A perfect match!"
Surya murmured to himself.
His large hand suddenly clenched, his fingers radiating light, and in an instant, the golden hand grasped the Rope.
Crackle!
The brilliance of the sun flickered.
A voice came from the Rope.
"Oh, Sun Wheel!"
"You are radiant and magnificent, famous throughout the Three Realms!"
"But you and I are not alike, please go away!"
’Rope’ spoke out.
Surya shuddered, a chill spreading from his hand, making him feel cold all over as if he were walking into a western sunset, ready to plunge into the water at any moment.
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, his body began to darken.
Surya shivered, then suddenly looked down at his right hand, the Rope in his hand now ice-cold and pitch-black, and his own large hand had also turned pitch-black and icy.
Hiss!
Surya took a sharp breath and hastily withdrew his hand.
A look of disbelief appeared on his face.
He, the most radiant among the Heavenly Devas, the god who illuminated the Three Realms, was not chosen by a mere Rope.
Surya’s expression darkened slightly.
He covered his hand and took two steps back, his expression somewhat horrified.
As he released the Rope from his grasp, the pitch-black color on the palm of his hand gradually vanished.
Whoosh!
The Rope twirled in the air, returning to its golden color, immediately catching the attention of the surrounding Devas.
"Surya wasn’t chosen!"
"This Rope even took away Surya’s radiance!"
"Incredible!"
The Devas murmured among themselves.
At that moment, Fire God Agni stepped forward.
He was clad in red armor, adorned with golden fabric all over his body, exposing his muscular chest. His eyes burned with raging flames, filled with passion.
"This Rope might take away Surya’s heat!"
"But it will definitely not take away my heat!"
"I am flame itself!"
Agni raised his arm high and pointed out a finger, gently wavering it in front of the gods.
As his words fell, he swayed forward confidently and reached out his large hand to grasp the Rope.
"Feel my heat!"
Fire God Agni called out loudly.
Flames ignited in his large hand, fierce and unceasing, engulfing the Rope in his grasp.
Boom!
The terrifying flames blazed, spreading instantly from Agni’s hand to the Rope.
However, the Rope flashed golden, and a force emerged from within, swiftly extinguishing the burning flames.
"The power of flame brings destruction, one of the strongest forces in the world!"
"But this force is not what I seek!"
’Rope’ voiced out in Fire God Agni’s hand.
Whoosh!
The Rope gently shook!
Fire God Agni felt a sudden emptiness in his body.
He instinctively let go, staggering back as the Devas quickly reached out to steady him.
"My flames! My searing heat!"
"The Rope is actually devouring my heat!"
Fire God Agni’s voice trembled.
Flames that once devoured offerings now found themselves devoured.
The Sun God and Fire God were among the finest of the Devas!
If they were not capable, then perhaps there was only one person left!
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this, the Devas exchanged glances, their faces aghast, and then, as one, their gaze shifted in unison to a single direction.
Sani!
All eyes of the gods simultaneously turned to Sani, causing him a moment of bewilderment.
It was his turn again!
Sani’s eyes flickered, and he subconsciously looked towards Indra.
Indra was smiling slightly.
"To honor Karmic Retribution is correct, Sani, try this. This too is your Karmic Retribution!"
He spread his arms in a welcoming gesture.
Sani now seemed much more honest, and if this Rope could choose Sani, that would indeed be a fine choice.
Seeing this, Sani’s eyes twinkled, and looking at the figure of Indra, he couldn’t help but feel a rush of emotions.
"Thank you for your praise and recognition!"
Sani pressed his palms together in gratitude as he spoke.
He too had once clashed with Indra, but now he also received forgiveness and pardon.
Truly radiant!
Oh, the beautiful light of liberation!
"Indra!"
"The invincible King of Heavenly Gods!"
"Praise!"
Sani brought his hands together in prayer.
The next moment, he took a deep breath, his eyes alight with excitement, as he strode towards the Rope.
Standing before the Rope, he continued to speak.
"Oh Rope!"
"I am the God of Saturn, the God in charge of Karmic Retribution!"
"Follow me, and you shall bestow rewards upon the virtuous; follow me, and you shall punish the wicked!"
"Follow me!"
"You will be revered and venerated by all beings!"
Sani said.
After speaking, he reached out and seized the Rope with his hand.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Rope burst forth with golden light, and an inexplicable mighty aura permeated the surroundings, turning into a resplendent golden light filled with images of iron rods, thunderbolts, and spears that shot out.
Boom!
Under the explosive golden light, Sani’s hand was as if it had touched Lady Master’s Trishula, and it was immediately repelled.
Ah!!!
Sani cried out in surprise, stumbling back several steps and looking at his hand in shock.
What!
He had not been accepted!
The ’Rope’ drifted upward, emitting a faint golden light like ripples on water, shining brightly here.
"Great Sani!"
"Your duty and power are praiseworthy, but this is not what I desire!"
The ’Rope’ spoke.
Upon hearing this, the gods were left speechless.
This Rope was a bit odd!
If this one wasn’t right, and that one wasn’t right either!
This Rope sure was picky!
Indra blinked, feeling a profound sense of wonder.
At this time, Wind God Vayu’s eyes sharpened; his senses were incredibly keen. He sensed the Rope in front of him and suddenly realized the problem.
