章 11: Chapter 11
"I can feel it!"
"It's all back!"
Garuda raised his head, eyes half-closed in a blissful expression, arms spread wide as if embracing the entire world, welcoming the return of the Supreme Being into his body.
The Priest Immortal looked pleased.
Such a classic example of recognizing and correcting one's mistakes and returning to the righteous path deserved to be recorded.
At this moment, the Priest Immortal made up his mind to write a book about these events, for future Brahmins to sing and recount.
With a flick of his wrist, paper and pen appeared, and he started writing.
"Under the guidance of Indra, Garuda repented his arrogance and learned the importance of respecting his brothers and leaders..."
As the Priest Immortal wrote swiftly,
Rumble!
Suddenly, an unknown tremor arose, a violent shock shaking the three realms.
The entire heaven realm trembled incessantly, as if the world was being turned upside down.
What!!!
Indra's expression tightened, and he immediately asked, "What's happening?"
"Let me check!"
The water god Varuna immediately activated his divine power, creating a water mirror in front of the gods.
In the water mirror, a gigantic figure appeared in the human realm.
This giant was clad in golden armor, with golden eyes shining like the sun, radiating endless light. His arms, as powerful as Naga king serpents, seemed capable of holding up the sky.
"If stirring is too slow, let's use this!"
The giant's voice thundered like a storm as he lifted the Mandara Mountain at the center of the human realm, seemingly intending to move it.
Boom!
The earth shook, mountains rocked, countless cracks spread for millions of miles.
Countless plants, animals, and Yakshas on Mandara Mountain scattered in fear, and rocks fell from the mountain, turning into flaming meteors crashing into the earth.
"Oh no!"
"The Mandara Mountain is the center of the human realm, connecting heaven and earth. What is he planning to do by moving it?!"
The Priest Immortal exclaimed in shock.
"I thought Garuda was already invincible!"
"Who is this Asura, so formidable?!"
Indra took a deep breath, astonished.
Garuda's wings could shake the heavens, but compared to this being, he was like a minor wizard before a great one.
Unbelievable!
"Did you forget, Indra? He is Golden Eyes, the king of the Daitiyas, and also the Asura king of the netherworld!"
"I've heard that these brothers were undergoing rigorous training. Golden Eyes must have completed his training and received a divine blessing, making him so powerful."
The Priest Immortal's eyes widened as he stared at Golden Eyes, murmuring.
Hearing this, Indra recalled and immediately understood.
Golden Eyes, the Asura king from legends who tried to drag the earth into the ocean of milk to destroy the world, was eventually killed by Vishnu in his boar incarnation.
He was the son of Sage Kashyapa and Diti.
The sons of Kashyapa and Diti were called Daitiyas, while those of Kashyapa and Danu were called Danavas.
Daitiyas and Danavas were the two major branches of Asuras!
And their gods were the sons of Kashyapa and Aditi, known as Adityas.
"Could it be Brahma?"
Indra instantly thought of the three-faced god who loved to bestow blessings.
Did Golden Eyes receive the power to lift the earth from Brahma?
Most likely, yes!
"Wasn't he going to the ocean of milk to meet the Supreme Being?"
"Wait!"
Garuda was also shocked. He had seen Sage Sukrara taking this Asura to the ocean of milk.
Thinking of this, he immediately understood and murmured, "Is he planning to stir the ocean of milk with Mandara Mountain?"
Garuda was startled by his own words.
A single person lifting the entire Mandara Mountain!
Who in the heavens could stop him now! Who in the three realms could stop him!
Indra frowned in thought.
If this guy really stirs the ocean of milk...
The nectar of immortality that grants eternal life is in the ocean of milk. If he consumes it, there will be trouble. The gods would have to guard the gates of the underworld.
Moreover, the gods haven't drunk the nectar yet, so if they die, they die for real.
"We must drink the nectar first, or all is lost!"
"If it comes to a fight, Vishnu will step in. If that fails, we can still seek refuge in Brahma's realm; Golden Eyes might spare Brahma out of respect!"
Indra thought.
Planning for the worst, Indra envisioned a retreat before moving forward.
"Let's go, Garuda, transform into the Great Eagle and take us to the ocean of milk!"
Indra commanded.
To ensure future tranquility, he decided to attempt to stir the ocean of milk.
Garuda hesitated.
No one but the Supreme Being had ever ridden his back, but the situation was urgent, and there was no time for reservations.
For the sake of the goddess Lakshmi, he convinced himself.
Screech!
Garuda let out a sharp cry, the sound echoing across the sky.
His body gleamed with golden light, growing larger, wings wide as the horizon, then he crouched down, half-kneeling.
Indra immediately flew up, followed by the gods and the Priest Immortal.
As soon as they were steady, Garuda soared, sensing the Supreme Being's location and flying towards the ocean of milk.
Whoosh!
The giant wings blocked out the sky, crossing the realms of gods and men.
As they approached, the full form of Golden Eyes Asura became clearer.
His enormous body moved continuously, each hair like a mountain range, vast and unyielding, emitting a light like white lotus flowers from his pores.
"He's huge!"
The sun god Surya exclaimed.
"Such power, no wonder he could lift the world's center, Mandara Mountain!" Agni, the fire god, marveled.
The gods were worried.
The power of Golden Eyes Asura far exceeded theirs, even at their peak.
"His strength is from the blessing, but he should be weakening under a curse. However, the curse isn't long enough to drain much of his power."
Indra analyzed.
The curse of the hermit and the disappearance of Lakshmi would inevitably weaken him, as with Golden Eyes.
But the blessing made his foundation so strong that he still had residual strength.
"That makes sense!"
The Priest Immortal nodded, taking out his notebook and continuing to write: "On the way to the ocean of milk, Indra noticed Golden Eyes weakening..."
Garuda rushed into the ocean of milk.
"Supreme Being, I have arrived!"
In an instant, Garuda traversed the endless ocean, seeing his beloved Supreme Being.
Whoosh!
The gods descended as golden lights upon the ocean.
The guardian deity Vishnu frowned, his expression complex with worry.
"Indra..."
