"!!"
Indra's eyes focused sharply.
He sidestepped cautiously, looking around with a mixture of surprise and doubt.
What!
What had he just heard?!
Kashigyakya actually didn't want to do it anymore!
"Why?"
Indra looked on incredulously, puzzled at his disciple.
His disciple had been doing well, leading the people of the Heavenly Realm into battle alongside the Devas, fulfilling his duties diligently.
Why did he suddenly not want to continue?
"Teacher!"
"I am the War God!"
"After becoming the Heavenly Emperor, I thought I would be invincible in battle!"
"Yet I have never won!"
"Is one who can't protect the Devas still worthy of being called the Heavenly Emperor?"
Kashigyakya looked up slightly.
His eyes were profound, as his dark eyes gazed at the halo on the distant edge of the Heavenly Realm, seeming to penetrate the endless expanse and see through to the future.
"..."
Indra was at a loss for words.
He blinked, about to offer some words of advice.
