I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.
Chapter 186 184. BeastChapter 186 184. Beast
"What was that arya?"
Chhaya hearing such a howl was taken aback, She as queen of darkness heard many howls of many beasts that can destroy the mortal realm if they let loose from their bouncing from the netherworld.
But never ever she heard such a strange howl, It's weird. There was of course that blood-chilling threat of danger but there was also that uncanny attraction to it.
It's like trying to look at the sun. You know it will harm you, It is even nearly impossible to directly look at it and yet you try to stop doing it ignoring your survival instincts.
This is the same, She knows whatever that beast is, A something that should not walk around in the mortal realm and yet she unlike normal not rushed ahead wanting to send it back where it belongs.
Rather she loves to stay here in the presence of the beast that she has no idea about, she can't even see it.
".....I-I don't know."
Surya took his time and finally answered his wife in a trembling tone as all his instinct was telling him to run as far away as he can.
He sensed the unprecedented level of threat from that unseen beast that even his status of being Surya Narayana, Also one of the few beings who holds the title of Bhagwaan, feared.
For the first time he encountered something that make Aditya (Son Of Adity) think of retreating from the direct battle.
The blood who this time should have been boiling urging him to rush forward and show the might of Lightbringer to the being dare to threaten him,
It was usually is the case but not this time, This time his blood not boiling, No it was chilled, There was not urge to rush forward and attack, No there was the urge to just turn around and run as far away as possible.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe felt like he had encountered his natural predator, No it is worse, Even when he encounter Rahu, He did not feel like this even though Rahu swallowed him whole each time.
Surya right now felt as helpless as the fish on the chopping board at the mercy of the hand that is holding the knife. He was felt helpless without any way to fight back.
'The absolute dominance.'
Surya come to the shocking discovery, The said being might really be his actual natural enemy or just too overpowered for him to even raise the idea of counter-attacking.
"We don't know what it is but it is something that should not be here, Why then are we standing here and not attacking?"
Narada who was tired of waiting for the their lords to come here to handle the situation here and punish the one who was responsible for it could not help but jump down from the Royal chamber and arrive here seeing these people just standing there without doing anything.
He heard the howl of the beast, That beast is not something that they can just ignore. Seeing the beast yet not attacking them they should take this opportunity and attack first gaining a tactical advantage.
"No need, That beast is not thinking of attacking, It's howl of breakthrough, Not the war cry."
Sukracharya the learned about the beast and such creatures the most was first to speak thinking others might really listen to Narada and start attacking the beast who was just gone through the breakthrough.
Of course, he indeed has a thought to see if he can make such a strong beast in his group but that was not the sole reason why he decided to help the beast.
He love such creature, He who spend time with them, he knows they were misunderstood by the vast majority of beings, All this creature wants peace to sleep in.
That is what most beasts do, They just love to eat and sleep. They do not like destruction or killing, They only do it when they are pushed too far by others.
As long as you do not disturb their sleep or eating which consists of anything, From rocks to air, Even frozen water and molten lava, They just eat depending on their species and sleep.
That is why he likes to care for such a beast. He had built a sanctuary for such beasts in the netherworld just for them to enjoy their life. Unfortunately most of the beast in the mortal realm either was killed or enslaved by people.
Which just added more fuel in his heart for the fire of revenge as it was just being more and more personal. He still did not understand why that trickster who was supposed to care about every being equally only took action when humans were suffering.
Why does he ignore the suffering of others like them? Aren't they also the last of the creation? Don't they also have the same right of justice as any other being in this mortal realm? Then why does this hypocritical statement and justice still exist?
"So?!! It is still beast, This mortal realm is no place for suc- *Arghh*"
Narada did not understand why it was even a factor that the beast was not attacked. Even if it is harmless as a rabbit, the beast of that power should not stay here.
And the fact that the beast just now went through a breakthrough means it would be in it's weakest state, It's just making things easier for them to attack and win.
Why was this even a topic of debate? For the betterment of society, This being should not stay here, They can always teleport it into the Netherworld or kill it which is the thing he was siding towards.
This destroys any future attack and revenge, So sometimes it's better to just get rid of the problem then to find a solution for it.
"What you said? Even before Manu, this beast lived here, They have the same rights to be here as the humans here."
Sukracharya was pissed off because of that statement of Narada, These beasts were here even before the first humans were to come and live here.
These are their land, They have the same right as the any of the humans to live here, How can they just decide to teleport to that barren land or just kill it.
So he strike back, Though he didn't attack Narada but released the power from his body checking Narada in mid speech because of unexpected attack.
He stumbles back coughing looking at Sukracharya with coldness in his eyes gripping on his Veena thinking of attacking back showing that he is also not weak at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Both of you stop, We don't know what kinda beast it is or where it come from, So it is safe to assume it's a threat, Wait! Asura Guru Shukracharya, Let me finish.
Now that we consider it as a threat, it would not be wise to attack. We don't know its power nor we know its origin. All we might know it might be the mount of some divine being or the newborn of some celestial beast, So just stay here and wait."
Durvasa took the lead seeing the matter could get out of hand any moment and quickly took matter over, It is right as he said, He partially agree both Narada and Sukracharya.
And he actually agreed with their point if lot he had not said it, As Narada said the beast might be a threat for the mortal realm which is his valid concern and should be taken seriously.
Even though he doesn't want to be partial but existence of such a beast going on the rampage in the mortal realm would going to have a cataphoric result.
But there is also point of Sukracharya, The beast was here before the mortals ever came to this realm, So they also have the right to be here, Which he also agrees and stands with it.
So this was the best solution is out there, Both peoples argument was being heard and give respective respect to them as everyone should.
It's just he too wondered where that beast comes from, he didn't sense anything at all. Normally if something like this beast comes out they should sense it beforehand and get enough time to be prepared.
But this beast came here and even went through the breakthrough. The process in which the beast broke the shackle was put on them by the world to open up the power limit even further.
Which normally take a lot of time and a lot of power or energy to even get to the point where they eat enough stored power in them and try to break those shackles.
The power needed to do that is actually too much, Most beast spend their lifetime eating and sleeping moving only when necessary to preserve as much as energy in them and still they could not even get close to the power needed for to break that limit.
Yet here is such a beast who has gone through that process right in front of their eyes, Though they do not see it but they know it happens in front of their eyes.
'Hope you be friendly.'
Durvasa looked at the miasma of the power in the centre and sad to himself as he saw the moment the mist.
