12 I am back.

As Vidar and Hiranyaksha disappeared from the palace, the other Asuras also started disappearing and went to gather their forces and take weapons.

The ladies took Rushbhanu with care and also took Andhaka's body and went inside the Asura king palace.

The hall which was full of people a second ago became deserted and silence covered the whole Hall.

[ Fron this point it is gonna be just some facts so I will be explaining it just in a short way and not waste two-three extra chaps. ]

Hiranyaksha the Asura king assaulted the defenceless mother earth and dragged her into the cosmic ocean which made the earth submerged in water and people and other inhabitants of the place started to drown.

Danava king Viprachitti attacked the devas along with Hiranyakashipu and the rest of the Asura army.

While in the Asura king palace the body of Andhaka was laid in front of a statue of the God of destruction, Shiva while Rushbhanu kept pleading to the statue to save her child.

After hours of crying and mental exhaustion Rushbhanu fell asleep while slumped near the bed of her child.

A silence filled the whole hall and suddenly a red light flashed into the room and an ascetic figure appeared in the temple of Shiva the destroyer.

The figure looked at the lifeless body of his child laying in front of him and a look of anger covered his whole face and the third eye in between of his forehead started to open.

Shiva quickly shook off his head and dispelled his anger as at first, he has to find a way on how to save his child.

The best option was to take Andhaka to the crazy guy of the Biblical Heaven as he was a master in these kinds of things but he was a little constrained in that matter.

It was very unlikely that " The God " would bring his son back to life who was an Asura which basically became equivalent to demons in his language.

If it was some weak god then all he had to do was just use force but the problem was that the guy was a more stronger than him. a little but yeah he was stronger than him.

" It looks like I will have to do it myself. " Shiva sighed while bending down and taking out a lotus from a dimensional pocket.

The lotus gave off a bright-looking divine aura and radiated warm and pleasant energy.

The whole atmosphere of the room suddenly changed from gloomy to pleasant and a wave of fresh air swept around the whole room.

Shiva looked at the lotus and then opened Andhaka's mouth and put the lotus inside it. As the lotus went inside his mouth Shiva gave off a smile of happiness and relief as the lotus was a divine lotus of Brahma and he can say it assure that his son was now out of risk and it will also help in increasing his power of understanding.

As this matter was settled, Shiva's smile vanished upon remembering the energy he felt on his son.

He has been ignoring all the nuisance of Indra because of Vishnu but this time it looked as if he really wanted to die.

Attacking a child was a very sinister move and it may work in other pantheons but till he is alive he won't allow such cowardly tactics here in the Hindu Pantheon.

Shiva looked down at his child and a smile formed upon his face as his child really looked cute and he very much hoped that he regains consciousness soon.

" This will be it for now and I hope you recover well my son. " Shiva rubbed his son's head and vanished from the patala loka.

~~~~~~

Since no one was able to come to go the help of the mother goddess, sage Narada went to The Supreme Lord Vishnu to ask for help who then took his third incarnation and then transformed Into a boar deity named Varaha and went to rescue the earth goddess.

Hiranyaksha and Varaha fought for days with the boar incarnation coming on top and killing the Asura king for the sins he had committed.

The war between the Asuras and devas also ended in a draw as the Asuras withdrew after getting the news of the Their king's death by Lord Vishnu's hands.

the whole of the Pataal Loka was in grief after the quick deaths of their king and the crown prince and Hiranyakshipu the brother of the previous Asura king was crowned as the new Asura king.

Hiranyakshipu was very angry by his brother and nephew's death and his hatred for Vishnu reached an insanely high level.

So he started doing a very hard penance to impress Brahma and gain a boon from him so that he could avenge his nephew and his twin brother.

While this time his wife Kayadhu also had

got pregnant with the third child of her and her husband the new Asura king.

Indra and the devas heard of the news of Hiranyakshipu doing penance to Brahma and launched an all-out attack on the pataal Loka to kidnap Kayadhu and stop the Asura king's penance by threatening him with her wife and the unborn child.

The Asuras were defeated after a great and fierce battle and Indra takes Kayadhu to Svarga Loka with him after killing the Asura general Vidar who was given the responsibility of guarding the Queen of the Asuras during her pregnancy.

Sage Narada appears in front of Indra and demands Indra to leave her as she was a defenceless woman and pregnant woman.

Indra had to leave her or otherwise, the Sage would most likely go to Brahma or Vishnu and tell about his behaviour and then he would have to face very bad consequences.

Narada allowed her to stay in the Asharam( Ascetic places. ) where he used to live and the unborn child named Prahlada in her stomach became affected by the divine words of The sage Narada.

Narada was a very big devotee of Vishnu and so he imparted his devotion for Vishnu to the unborn child Prahlada in the stomach of Kayadhu.

The Asura king was successful in his penance and impressed Brahma, who gave him a powerful boon and so the Asura king attacked the devas and after defeating them conquered the whole of the universe and became the lord of the three realms.

As soon hundreds of years passed and the condition of the three worlds had become very bad.

Evil spirits and Asuras roamed the earth freely while creating chaos and the study of Vedas was also ignored by the Asura king which caused the Sages to become dissatisfied and caused the cosmic order to go into Chaos.

Hiranyakshipu was a very cruel ruler and had become too arrogant after becoming the lord of the three realms and demanded everyone to address him as the supreme one even ahead of Vishnu.

Ironically the son of Asura king became one of the greatest devotees of the person he hated the most, Vishnu and he didn't like it one bit that his son kept blabbering about Vishnu all day so he tried to kill his own son by using various means but every time he was Saved by Vishnu.

Finally the Asura king Hiranyakshipu decided to personally end the life of his failed son and this made the God Vishnu to take on his fourth incarnation, the fierce lion-headed God Narsimha to kill the Asura king and save the life of his devotee.

A big and fierce battle started between the Asura king and the Lion headed God Narsimha.

In the end, the Asura king was killed by the incarnation of Vishnu just like his elder brother and the previous Asura king.

Just like this, the whole top level of the netherworld became empty as The three first-born Asura's were all dead.

Holika, Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakshipu were all killed by Vishnu and so the hatred for him reached an all-time high in the patala Loka.

Prahlada the son of the dead Asura king was made the ruler of Asuras and thus also of the three worlds by Vishnu as he was a kind-hearted man and on top of that, he was his devotee.

Prahlada with the blessings of Vishnu and the teachings of Shukra became very mighty and powerful and with his virtuous and kind behaviour, he won the hearts of all the other races.

The devas were certainly not happy to be ruled by the Asuras even if Prahlada was a kind king and so they used his kindness and tricked Prahlada to give them back the power of three worlds and so Prahlada lost control of the three worlds.

The Asuras became angry because of the devas tricking their kind and Virtuous king and thus attacked the Svarga ( Heaven. )

The Devas afraid of being defeated by the Asuras took the help of the human kings and the other powerful species such as the bird race led by Garuda.

The Asuras were finally defeated due to their king and the mightiest Asura Prahlada not participating in the war and thus had to once again retreat to the patala loka.

Prahlada soon gave up his throne to his Son Virochana who like him had grown up to be a powerful and kind Asura king.

Virochana was a very good ruler and was taught about the concept of Atman by the Creation God Brahma and so the Asuras had once again started to flourish under the Asura king Virochana.

while a rare period of peace reigned in the three worlds suddenly news about a treasure came out which caused both the Deva and Asura races to become agitated and got them once again on the verge of war.

~~~~~~~~

In a dark place sat a mighty figure while darkness covered everything around him like a cocoon or a protective cover.

' CRACK - CRACK - CRACK '

slowly - slowly the cocoon of darkness started to crack and by going according to its average speed it was gonna crack fully in about an hour or two but.

' CRACK, BOOM '

a hand clad in an ominous and monstrous black aura came out of the cocoon and it caused the whole cocoon to burst into small particles.

" Finally it's done. ha hahahaahahahaha," a cruel and maniacal sound started to come out from the darkness and a divinely handsome looking man came out insight.

The man had long black hair which reached till his waist and blazing red eyes with a red flaming mark on his forehead and a muscular and toned body with his lovely pectoral muscles which would even make the goddesses of Love aroused.

The man wore a robe of red and black colour and a demon faced mask hung at his waist and he had red and black coloured tattoos which covered some parts of his body.

black and red colour powerful aura swirled around him and if any powerful god saw these auras he would be shocked as they were one of the most dangerous primordial concepts of Darkness and destruction.

the handsome man (Andhaka ) grinned fiercely and looked at the all-encompassing darkness around him and a smile formed upon his face.

He didn't feel any kind of fear and uncomfortableness which he felt at his first time over here but an exciting smile covered his face.

He got up from the ground and straightened his clothes and then raised his hand high up in the air.

A ball of black aura formed in his hand and it suddenly started to rotate fiercely and suck out all the dark energy in the place.

slowly - slowly, All the darkness had started to disappear and finally, the darkness vanished completely and got sucked inside the black ball in Andhaka's hand.

" Hahahahahahahahaha how wrong was I? I don't have power over darkness, I am the Darkness. " Andhaka looked at his body and felt the endless amount of energy running in his veins and he was excited to go outside and test how powerful he has become or how much time had passed.

He felt as if he was the primordial God of darkness, just like Shiva was of destruction and Brahma was of Creation.

He now doesn't have to TRY to control the darkness as he can feel the darkness within him and everywhere in the world.

He can't explain the feeling in words but it was as if he had full control over the concept of darkness.

But apart from Darkness he also had good control over some other dangerous concepts such as Destruction and strength and also got a little bit understanding of the concept of time but it was only a little bit like the concept of time was even hard and more complex than that of destruction and darkness for him.

He doesn't know if it was really that hard or he was just simply not compatible with the concept of time.

He looked at the colourless void around him.

He still didn't know where he was but knew how to go out.

He can feel it that he just has to imagine wanting to go out of this place and it will be done.

He looked at the endless and colourless place he was currently standing in.

the darkness had been all absorbed by him so what remained in this place was nothing so it had become colourless and Andhaka was feeling a little creepy while looking at his colourless surroundings so he quickly disappeared from the place.

He felt his head going haywire and after a second of nauseous feeling, he opened his eyes.

he had appeared in the same place from where he had disappeared.

The intersection point of the Asura king palace and the abode of Shukracharya.

Andhaka opened his eye and looked around the place with melancholy in his eyes.

He doesn't know exactly how much time had passed but he is sure it was not a short period but still, everything looked the same in the place but one thing has changed this time.

Andhaka now was able to see through illusion thanks to a flaming red third eye that opened up on his forehead.

The eye opened for the first time when he was meditating inside the darkness and it helped him become more concentrated and it looked like it also helped in seeing through illusions too.

Andhaka had a little guess about the origin of the eye.

From what he knew he was the son blessed by shiva to His parents so the third eye was probably inherited after the famous third eye of the destruction from the God of Destruction, Shiva.

so he had also supposedly inherited the third eye and also the element of destruction from his - he is also unsure what he should call the God of Destruction. So he was currently going with the term God Shiva only.

He looked towards the direction of his teacher and after a little pause and some thoughts, he went towards there with an anticipating smile on his face.

He doesn't know what is the current situation in the Pataal loka so it was better to go first meet his teacher and know what happened while he was away and he was also excited to see the old man and show him how much power he has grown. It

A puff of darkness suddenly occurred on the spot where Andhaka was standing and after it cleared Andhaka had disappeared from his place.

~~~~~~~

I know the power-up was quite fast but that's what happened in the original. The guy went to meditate and did it for millions of years ( normal human years ) and then came and started bashing gods here and there.

Do you know Shiva once opened his third eye on Indra due to Indra being too arrogant. Well like Always Vishnu came and saved him and the third eye was deflected into the ocean and an Asura child was born from it and in future, he gained the title of the ' Lord of the three realms.' his name was Jalandhara . so you see........... be ready to meet another badass Shiva son on the future.
