Chapter 628: Chapter 508: Burning Ash Ascends to the Heavenly Realm, Underprepared
Boom! Boom! Boom!
An imposing sound resonated in all directions, as "Burning Ash" grew immense in stature, comparable to the colossal Mandara Mountain. Its silver-black armor flickered with Divine Light, charging straight into the Heavenly Realm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Giant steps trod among the clouds, crushing them to pieces.
With each step he took, flames burst into existence, exploding and scattering the clouds like meteorites in all directions.
"!!!"
The Devas stood atop their Divine Chariots, looking back in terror.
"This guy is truly terrifying!"
"My flames are entirely useless against him!"
The Fire God Agni’s lips trembled slightly as he murmured.
He had truly not anticipated that this being, despite being cursed by the Craft God Vishwakarma to eventually perish in flames, would be unaffected.
He had thought that his own flames would fulfill the curse, but they proved entirely ineffective.
Hiss!
At this moment, Fire God Agni couldn’t help but gasp in fear at the power of "Burning Ash."
"To die in flames?"
Water God Varuna blinked.
His gaze then shifted, looking back at the Sun God Surya behind him.
"Flames!"
"Besides you, Agni, who consecrates the Fire Sacrifice, there is also the Sun Fire of Surya, and the fire of Indra from the Sky Realm!"
Water God Varuna murmured to himself.
No sooner had he spoken than the gaze of the surrounding gods turned to look at the Sun God Surya.
"!!!"
Craft God Vishwakarma’s eyes widened.
His expression was solemn as he took a deep breath, stood up straight, and looked gravely at the Sun God Surya.
"Oh Sun! Oh Fire of the Heavenly Realm!"
"My son-in-law! The master of my daughter!"
Craft God Vishwakarma spoke with a weighty tone, his eyes shining as he stared intently at the Sun God Surya.
Whoosh!
In a flash, the Sun God Surya’s body shook.
He took a deep breath, swayed his tall stature, and the flickering golden light emanated from him radiated solemnity and might, filled with sacred brilliance.
"My father-in-law! The great artisan of the gods!"
"Speak!"
"Speak your words!"
Sun God Surya said.
Clap!!!
Vishwakarma brought his hands together in a gesture of prayer, his face grave and sorrowful as he stared intently at Sun God Surya and spoke, "I plead with you!"
"Summon your mighty force, summon your great flames!"
"And reduce this ’Burning Ash’ to nothing but ashes!"
Vishwakarma spoke with indignation.
"..."
Sun God Surya was taken aback.
He turned his head, looking back at the relentless "Burning Ash" chasing the Divine Chariot.
"Could it be that the curse is to fulfill itself upon me?"
"It must be so!"
"Since Agni’s flames are useless, it must be my turn!"
Sun God Surya murmured as he leaned back.
He opened his eyes wide, his gaze blazing like stars, a fierce light playing in his eyes as he stared at "Burning Ash," pondering over the curse.
Boom! Boom!
Sun God Surya suddenly clasped his hands together.
"If the Karmic Retribution of this ’Burning Ash’ is to be fulfilled upon me."
"Then..."
"Let this Sun Fire consume him entirely!"
Sun God Surya roared as he lifted his head.
He stood tall and proud, his luminous presence shining intensely.
As his voice grew louder, his tone became more and more confident.
Two balls of flame ignited in the palms of his hands, and with a forceful push forward, he unleashed a terrifying torrent of Sun Fire in an instant.
Boom!
A beam of the scorching Sun Light shot straight towards "Burning Ash."
Flames surged in the sky, blotting out the sun, and in an instant, consumed the entirety of "Burning Ash."
However, these flames disappeared in an instant, as the fire atop [Burning Ash] gradually extinguished, being absorbed into the silver-black armor.
"Useless!"
Fire God Agni cried out again in alarm.
Wind God Vayu also clenched his arms, gritted his teeth, and let out a breath, exclaiming in surprise, "Even Surya’s flames are of no use!"
Craft God Vishwakarman also clenched his fists tightly.
"..."
Sun God Surya paused for a moment, standing there speechless and helpless.
He swallowed, turning his head towards the charioteer, [Modoli].
"Modoli, go quickly!"
Surya shouted loudly.
In the sound of his shouting, [Modoli] furiously whipped the reins, the divine steed Supratika shaking its horse neck as well, its snow-white mane dancing wildly in the wind, hooves treading the sky, heading deep into the Heavenly Realm.
The divine steed Supratika raced away, leaving all others behind!
"Hahaha!"
"The Devas are just like that, all of you burn for me!"
[Burning Ash] laughed uproariously to the sky.
His boisterous laughter echoed through the Heavenly Realm, resounding incessantly.
...
Heavenly Realm.
Inside a divine temple.
Goddess Jyeshta paced back and forth outside the palace, her hands cradling a wooden bowl.
She looked down, staring intently at the wooden bowl in her hands.
The wooden bowl was quite large, resembling a big basin.
"The Supreme Lord is full of vigor, surely it will spurt forth."
"If it splashes out, I must be ready to catch it well!"
Jyeshta tilted her head and said earnestly.
Thinking so, she shook her head, took a deep breath, stood at the doorway with the wooden bowl in hand, waiting for changes inside the room.
Boom!
Just at that moment, a massive trembling sound thundered forth.
Jyeshta couldn’t help but look up.
At that instant, she saw a vast shadow looming over her.
"Hm?"
"Asura?"
Jyeshta tilted her head, muttering to herself.
Under the shadow engulfing the sky, a streak of light shot forth in an instant, the Divine Chariot cutting through the sea of clouds, charging out.
"A Deva?"
Jyeshta also couldn’t help but express her astonishment.
In the midst of her shock, cries of alarm came from the Divine Chariot.
"Jyeshta!"
"Quick, go request Indra’s presence!"
Fire God Agni shouted in panic.
"Goddess, quickly, go request Indra!" Water God Falou also called out loudly.
Amidst the ongoing shouts, Jyeshta lifted her head in shock, showing a look of surprise.
"Such a huge Asura!"
Jyeshta repeatedly expressed her alarm.
At that moment, her brows furrowed as she took notice of the massive Asura.
She took a deep breath and, with a slight sway of her body, intended to step forward.
Huh?
But the next moment, Jyeshta suddenly turned her head to look back at the palace behind her.
The palace was shaking violently!
Boom, boom, boom!
Jyeshta quickly turned around, looking up only to see a colossal pillar of thunder shooting up into the sky, countless bolts of lightning weaving back and forth, like thousands of birds chirping and squawking, or like numerous Nagas coiling around and shooting straight up into the heavens.
The light of the thunderbolts soared into the sky, flickering across the heavens.
Bang!
Boom, boom, boom!
In the sound of the thunder, Jyeshta held the wooden bowl, her mouth agape in astonishment at the scene.
This was not the outpouring of vigor, yet it was already incredibly powerful; just the thunder leaking out had shocked the Heavenly Realm.
At that moment, Jyeshta involuntarily looked down, her gaze falling on the wooden bowl in her hands.
It seemed a little small!
