Chapter 19
The sudden appearance of golden lightning erupted from Indra's body, forming a column of lightning that tore through the sky, splitting the clouds and shooting straight towards the heavens.
At almost the same time, at the throat chakras of deities like Vayu, Agni, Varuna, and Surya, pillars of wind, fire, water, and light flickered one after another, following the lightning column, piercing through the heavens.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Pillars of light containing the power of the main gods shot towards the heavens.
Indra's lightning column arrived first, bursting open in the heavens. Lightning danced like dragons and serpents, striking down in the center of the heavens. An indescribable giant city emerged in the lightning. This city had a circumference of 2,500 yojanas on all sides, with a height of one and a half yojanas. It was vast and flat, constructed of golden walls shimmering with a thousand gates facing all directions. Decorated with pearl shells, coral trees, and drifting white clouds on the ground, it was as if touching brocade.
Shambhala City! Indra's residence.
Following closely, the cities and palaces of the wind god, fire god, water god, and sun god also rose up in the heavens with a rumble.
Various divine powers such as wind, fire, and water surged and spread in the heavens, bolstering the power of the gods.
"The power is skyrocketing!" Indra felt the surge of power within him, his heart pounding, blood boiling, unable to help but mutter.
The heavens were not only the realm of the gods but also the realm of the celestial emperor. The gods of the heavens, such as the wind god, fire god, water god, and sun god, divided the heavens into various divine domains, but the entire heavens belonged to the celestial emperor Indra.
Indra's eyes flickered with electric light, feeling his brain trembling.
Power! The power of the entire heavens flowed within him! So powerful! Too powerful!
Just as Indra felt the surge of his own power, his golden eyes suddenly opened wide, his beard trembling with excitement, his whole body trembling with excitement. His power had also completely recovered. As the Asura King, empowered by the terrestrial realm, he had restored his strength to its heyday. This power was enough to support the earth, coupled with the power of blessing...
"I am already invincible!" King Indra's golden eyes swept across, landing on Indra. His mouth split into a wide grin, excitedly laughing. "Hahaha! Let me see the power of the heavens, let me test the strength of you, the lord of the heavens!"
With a wild laugh, he took a step forward, his huge body crossing thousands of miles, and a majestic golden hammer descended from the sky, smashing towards the celestial emperor.
A terrifying aura surged, and Indra instinctively reached out, spreading his fingers wide.
Amidst the shimmering golden light, a golden vajra appeared. The raging lightning gathered on the vajra, exploding like celestial fire, crashing down.
Boom! Boom! As the two collided, a surging wave of air burst forth, and even space seemed to split at this moment.
After a confrontation, the powerful backlash made Indra's wrist numb, and his mind instantly sobered.
Hiss! Indra couldn't help but draw a cold breath.
With the power of the heavens bestowed upon him, he had just felt invincible. Yet, he had rashly rushed forward to fight with King Indra.
The heavens were treacherous! Indra's mind cleared up immediately, and he quickly retreated, pretending to be no match as he fell back among the gods.
King Indra's eyes were proud as he pointed his finger at the retreating Indra, sneering.
"Is this all the power the lord of the heavens has?" King Indra shook his head and laughed. "After stirring up the Milk Ocean, I will attack the heavens, and you all just wait!"
With that, he turned and left.
"It's only Suma who hasn't returned. When Suma comes out of the Milk Ocean, we'll drink Suma wine together. These Asuras are definitely no match!" The sun god Surya's golden light shimmered as he walked with an air of importance.
At this moment, he had regained his former brilliance, clad in golden armor, magnificent and radiant, exuding a faint sense of pride with every move.
"Yes, with Suma present and Suma wine consumed, our divine power will be even stronger!" Vayu, the wind god, nodded, wearing a golden circlet and light armor like a warrior.
Agni, the fire god, and Varuna, the water god, also regained their former glory, their bodies covered in golden armor and ornaments, radiating brilliance continuously.
Indra remained slightly silent.
Suma was the god of wine and also the moon god.
His name was also a wine name.
After drinking Suma wine, the gods' power would increase significantly, and their divine power would double effortlessly.
However...
Compared to blessing, the power gained from drinking Suma wine was a bit weaker.
In simple terms, drinking Suma wine was outdated. The new generation no longer had ships to carry Suma wine.
Blessing was the updated answer!
"Looking at the heavenly gods, they're all conservatives, while the Asuras are reformists!" Indra couldn't help but speculate.
At this moment, beams of celestial light suddenly descended from the sky, and Vishnu appeared beside the goddess Lakshmi with a loving smile. The two exchanged a smile and disappeared with a swoosh.
Seeing this scene, King Indra snorted coldly, his face stiff and very unhappy.
He came to the Milk Ocean to take the goddess Lakshmi away. As a result, he was disrupted, and now that he finally stirred up Lakshmi, Vishnu took her away again.
He clenched his fists, his anger skyrocketing.
At this moment, the Asura General Vibhishana suddenly appeared beside King Indra.
"Your Majesty, not only did we stir up Lakshmi just now, but another goddess was also stirred up."
"We've checked!"
"This goddess was just born, and there was no commotion when she came out. We found her."
Vibhishana whispered.
At the words, the surrounding Asuras couldn't help but brighten up.
Lakshmi followed Vishnu away, and the heavenly gods didn't get anything. Instead, they got a goddess first.
Good luck!
Sukra Rishi frowned slightly, feeling a bit strange.
King Indra was instantly overjoyed and quickly said, "Bring her over!"
"Yes!"
Vibhishana moved swiftly.
Before long, he returned with a goddess.
Huh?!
King Indra frowned, squinting his eyes, looking at the goddess with suspicion.
The goddess was dressed in rags, with disheveled hair, the feet of a deer, fish-like eyes, thick lips, and teeth like a bull's, extremely ugly to the point that one couldn't even tell she was a goddess amidst the surging divine power.
While the goddess Lakshmi was brilliant and splendid, why was this one so ugly and shabby?
"What's your name, goddess?" King Indra was slightly
silent for a moment before asking.
The goddess with the peculiar appearance spoke slowly, her voice raspy like the scraping of a pot bottom.
"Yashoda!"
The grotesque goddess replied in a hoarse tone.
King Indra crossed his arms, thinking to himself, "This goddess Yashoda may be ugly, but she was born with the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, so she must be related to her. It must be a good thing. We can't let the heavenly gods know. We need to send her back to the earthly realm first."
With that in mind, he waved his hand, immediately summoning the Asura Holiak, who stood by.
"Holiak, take this goddess back to the earthly realm now!"
