I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.

168 166. Child Like Curiosity

"But swami didn't Spirits Of Damned only attack living things? So why did Asura Guru Shukracharya bring them out against Nightmares?"

Devi Chhaya chimed in as she asked in curiosity, She couldn't help it. She was born this way, All necessary knowledge was present in her since birth but that is the reason why she was so fascinated by the new information.

She wanted to learn more, know more. That child-like curiosity was still present in her even after getting the godhood, so even if it is time of life and death she can't help but to be curious.

"That is because Nightmares are not totally dead creatures. When the warriors die their strong willpower protects the some part of the soul in them, Which corrupts that soul but it also makes sure that there is some essence of life remaining in them.

That life essence is vulnerable to the force of death, So you can say that Soul Of Damned can be considered a natural predator of Nightmares."

Lord Surya took time to explain to his curious wife, Anyway they can't do anything now, Best they can do now is to just resist the aftermath of the clashes in-between them.

So he has a lot of time to spare and quench the thirst of the goddess of Shadows.

"If that is the case then why did Rishi Durvasa summoned Nightmares? After all these souls are the reason why they summoned Nightmare, right?"

Devi Chhaya got her answer but she was not satisfied with it at all, She knows that even though souls come out later but Sukracharya started to summon them beforehand.

This of course could not escape from the eyes of Durvasa, So even knowing that Nightmares are weak against them, Why did he summoned it?

"Priye, You are god- *Ahem* I mean you are good women, So how do you not know this? What make Nightmare gain that title? Their power? No even though they are quite strong g but there are many being like that in the Netherworld, that not criteria for getting that title.

What makes them scary is that, Their corruption, The corruption they spread around by simply existing, That is why Rishi Durvasa summoned them.

Just like how the weakness of Nightmare of their life force being drained, The weakness of those soul is being corrupted, No matter how strong they are the corruption will break them down.

That is why they are being chosen. The corruption is forced from the Abyss and as you know Abyss don't discriminate who you are even if you are from the dark fraction.

If you dare to stare at the abyss it will stare back at you."

Lord Surya wanted to say that how could Devi Chhaya don't know about this thing, She is the goddess of Shadow and queen of Darkness but then remembering they still in disguise he avoided it.

Also knowing how little time she spent there it would not be strange that she not know details like this, Abyss is a secret even he was not able to comprehend fully.

He only knows one rule, if there is some power rated to Abyss then it would be best to stay away as far as possible of said thing, Never mess with it as Abyss always be a winner in the conflict.

"You know a lot about these things, Brahman dev. You are quite knowledgeable. If you don't mind, can you tell me the respected name of your Guru?"

Because he now started to doubt the identity of the man standing in front of him.

10:06

Not only this man has guts to point finger at him but he also has unfathomable power, It's not small Suddenly Narada's voice rang as he with the same sly smile on his face asked Lord Surya about this, Because he now started to doubt the identity of the man standing in front of him.

Not only this man has guts to point finger at him but he also has unfathomable power, It's not small thing to help resisting the power of Rudra, And top of that now the knowledge he spoke of is even more proof that this man is not just little sage.

This knowledge only very few beings know and even they share with only selected few ones, After all knowledge like this is dangerous in the wrong hands.

So gears in his hear spin and he started to realise that this man in front of him should be one divine being in disguise, And if that is the case then Narada needs to know the identity of him.

Only then he can be sure how to deal with it the trouble later on, He was not worried before standing in front of the assembly of gods, Even if Brahma said Narada instigated the fight, He had enough confidence to turn things around.

But if this man turns out to be the divine being in disguise then he will be in big trouble. Depending on the status of this being, He might not even be able to escape punishment even if his Lord and Father intervene.

".....Devi Ganga, Can you move your flow of water and surround these groups? Your river is sacred, These being is dark not able to walk past it, So containing them in one place will be easy "

Surya outright ignored Narada, He know intention of his very well and he was in no mood to get into argument with him.

He come here thinking he would be able to spend time with his son a little but he did not get one moment alone with him, He at least wanted to tell Karna about his divine birth.

Even if he can't tell him that Karna is his son, He wanted to make sure he knows that he is not some normal child, So even he will be insulted later on which he will, He knows his son will be insulted many times.

But at least at that time Karna will not feel hopeless or harbour immense hate, He would ignore them like an elephant does to street dogs barking at him.

He also wanted to teach his son a few tricks, No that powerful but some that can help him, That way he also able to get to spend time with his son, Which would have at least fulfilled his wish to be there for his son.

But now he can't do anything. Soon the trimurti will arrive and everything will end. For some reason others like Rishi Durvasa and Asura Guru Shukracharya can't see through his disguise but that would not be the case against those three.

And when that happen he also needed to go back, So it would not be wrong to say there is slight hate in the heart of Surya against Narada for his this act, After all he cost him the precious time with his son.

"Yes, On it Brahman dev."

Devi Ganga also ignored the outright insult of Rishi Narada, Though she knows it is wrong to do and disrespectful towards the revered sage but after finding out Narada was responsible for this thing, She did not care anymore.

Not only his act put her whole kingdom at risk but he even put the lives of both of her sons on line, If anything happen either of them she was not sure she able to contain her anger.

There was even a high chance will drown all three world, Then might not even her Lord can able to stop her, The mother's anger is not something anyone can face, Especially the mother who want justice for her kids.

So she did not mind it, She diverted her flow and surrounded the beings of the dark, That way they will not wander off in the city and wreak havoc.

"Now what to do?"

Ganga after doing that looked at Surya and asked instinctually, For some reason she has that familiar feeling from the man in front of him. That feeling mixed with his leadership made her follow his lead.

"Nothing, We did all we can do, Now all we can do is wait."

Surya looked at the stalemate of the Sukracharya and Durvasa then spoke helplessly, There is nothing they can do.

If it was outside the mortal realm then maybe he can able to use his powerful heat to push them all away and intervene but now here he can't use that destructive power.

So it was upto Niyati, To see what is written by her for them.

....

"Interesting, They still haven't started yet? Do they know he is watching them?"

Ganesha was seated on the tree branch not far away and spoke as he was wearing the sweets. Who knows from where he got it.

He looks at the stalemate of both Sukracharya and Durvasa then towards the dense trees not far from them and come to conclusion that they know he was there.

That is the reason even when Durvasa excites his Rudra part not attacked yet, They are testing water to see which side he is on. After all, none of them wanted to be attacked by him in mid fight by him.

So both of them seeing which side that man is on, If it is their side then they can fight without worry but if it is the side of the other party then it will become 2 verse 1, They not those odds.

"It's boring if they don't fight, I come here for fun."

Ganesha said sulking as he took one more bite of his sweets, He badly wanted them to fight, It's not an everyday thing you see two revered sages fighting.

He can't miss that, As for collateral damage? He can handle it, He is one of the few who can actually fully stop the damage without any worry, So there is no problem for two of these to clash.
