Chapter 603: Chapter 499: The Gatekeeper, Fire God Requests Support!
"I must stand guard here!"
Jyeshta muttered incessantly in her heart.
She was hiding behind a tree outside this palace, the tall Sal Tree swaying gently, its leaves rustling, wafting a faint scent of fragrance.
She carefully controlled her power, making sure not to reveal too much of it.
"The Supreme Lord is actually in union!"
"It is so..."
"The Supreme Lord is a great god of infinite vigor; it is right for him to be in union with the Lady Master."
Jyeshta’s cheeks flushed, and she blinked her eyes.
Grasping the dry wood staff in her hand, she couldn’t help but turn to look back at the palace behind her, her heart undulating uncertainly, "The Supreme Lord has infinite vigor and has undergone great austerities, the essence of his body fluids must be very powerful, maybe even capable of giving birth to life if they fall. I wonder if Lady Shachi can catch it, should I move closer so that this vigor does not go to waste."
Thinking so, Jyeshta had not yet made up her mind, but she moved involuntarily.
Whoosh!
She was dressed in a black robe, her slender black robe hanging down, her knees hardly bending, showing no sign of movement, yet her feet were moving.
Quietly, she had already approached the palace.
Jyeshta moved silently.
Whoosh!
But at that moment, a golden pillar of light suddenly descended, like a rainbow falling from the sky, arriving in front of the palace in an instant.
Fire God Agni radiated light all around him as he descended here.
Looking up, he saw what appeared to be an ordinary palace, but from the bottom of his heart, a sense of palpitations emerged.
He sensed a weakened power that made him very uncomfortable.
"Jyeshta?"
Fire God Agni pondered in his heart.
In an instant, he saw Jyeshta outside the palace, appearing somewhat sneaky.
If Jyeshta was here, then Indra must also be within this palace.
"It seems I’ve found it!"
Fire God Agni’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Great Goddess Jyeshta!"
"O poor one, guardian of Indra, may I inquire if the Heavenly Emperor is here?"
Fire God Agni pressed his hands together in prayer and asked.
At that moment, the voice of the Fire God echoed around, ringing in Jyeshta’s ears.
Whoosh!
Goddess Jyeshta gave a start, suddenly standing straight up, her figure under the black robe as upright as a coconut tree reaching for the sky.
She was somewhat flushed.
"The Supreme Lord, the Supreme Lord..."
"The Supreme Lord is in union!"
Jyeshta stuttered softly.
The union of male and female is a sacred yoga, the union of masculine and feminine forces, not an unspeakable matter.
Upon hearing this, Fire God Agni was taken aback.
Union?
Could it be that Asura woman, Shachi!
"Guardian of Indra!"
"Please summon Indra, the Asura are about to attack, we need his power to guard the Heavenly Realm, to protect the Devas, to protect the creatures of the world."
Fire God Agni said.
Now was not the time for union!
"No, that won’t do, how could we disturb him at such a moment!"
Jyeshta quickly spoke out.
Upon hearing this, Fire God Agni became anxious. He took a deep breath, and with glowing arms, he strode towards Jyeshta.
"!!!"
Jyeshta gave another jolt, stepping back two paces involuntarily.
The next moment, she looked up slightly.
From underneath the dark hood, a pair of gentle eyes revealed a faint shimmer of moisture, showing a determined expression.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Jyeshta swiftly raised her hand, revealing a slender arm beneath the black robe, shining like the morning’s dawn, emitting a golden rainbow light.
"Hmm?"
Fire God Agni’s steps came to a halt.
As the golden light faded, he blinked, his eyes widening, and then he saw a white chariot appear at the entrance of the palace.
The chariot was entirely snow-white.
Instead of horses at its front, there stood a fortress-like massive statue, quadrupedal and columnar, shockingly an Airavata statue with three heads and six tusks.
The white elephant statue resembled a fortress, its spine as broad as a plaza.
Atop this statue’s spine, there even stood a majestic four-eyed piebald giant hound—Sarameya.
Jyeshta shrank behind this statue fortress.
As she spurred her Divine Power, the massive statue roared into motion like a chariot, and from among the three elephant heads at the front, an array of weapons protruded.
The Curved Saber was sharp like tusks, the Rope like bristles, the War Mallet like a trunk...
Boom!
Azure lightning twisted around it, forming into flamboyant banners.
This was the chariot fortress given to her by the divine hound Sarameya, covered with weapons, though she did not know why it was made in the likeness of Airavata.
"You..."
"Don’t come any closer!"
"I will strike!"
Jyeshta peeked out from behind the fortress, raising a head and shouting.
"..."
Fire God Agni hesitated.
He raised his hand, wanting to reassure Jyeshta, "Goddess, I do not wish to resort to force, but the Heavenly Realm needs the Heavenly Emperor!"
As he spoke, Fire God Agni took a frantic step forward.
His foot crossed the invisible line, and instantly, a force of weakening enveloped him entirely.
Agni was just about to raise his hand to speak.
His vision suddenly retreated, his body fell sharply downwards, collapsing to the ground, leaving only the thick clouds beneath his feet.
Boom!
Then, lightning erupted from the fortress-like white elephant at the forefront of the chariot.
Blinding bolts shot out from the Curved Saber tusks with deafening roars, flinging Fire God far away in an instant.
Seeing this, Jyeshta panicked a bit.
She quickly grasped her dry wood staff with both hands and took out a mango from her bosom, sniffing it deeply at her nose-tip twice, and only then did she calm down.
"Great Fire God!"
"Fire Sacrifice!"
"Are you alright?"
Jyeshta’s eyebrows knitted slightly, like a mushroom sprouting, she peered out and whispered softly.
"Uh..."
Fire God Agni lay on the ground, twisting his neck, his body trembling slightly.
His whole body flickered with thunderfire.
As a fire element, lightning as the fire of the sky did not cause him much injury.
Moreover, he had drunk Amrita!
But the feeling of being drained just now involuntarily reminded him of the sensation when he was cursed, his body losing all strength.
So painful!
"Fire Sacrifice!"
"Since you can still make a sound, and have the strength to stand, then I will have to take action again!"
"Please forgive me!"
Jyeshta’s voice echoed once more from behind the chariot.
As soon as she finished speaking, bursts of lightning flashed again, like the sparks from a chisel striking a hard stone, crackling and scattering in all directions.
"!!!"
"Stop it!"
"I am leaving right now!"
Fire God Agni got up, covering his chest, and in a panic, transformed into a red pillar of light shooting up into the sky.
Whoosh!
Flames rippled, crossing the Heavenly Realm, and Fire God Agni fell from the sky in an instant, landing outside the Heavenly Emperor’s Temple.
"Phew~"
"Good thing I left quickly!"
"This goddess is truly difficult to deal with, we’ll need to come at her together!"
Fire God Agni’s expression was fraught as he propped himself up with a snow-white massive column, panting heavily.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At that moment, the surrounding Devas also returned, descending from the sky one after another...
