"That would indeed be troubleso," the voice said. It didn’t seem to want to go into detail. It changed the topic and asked, "Do you know why they’re called the Four Disasters Of Creation?"
"I don’t," Sharky replied. He thought back to the Taotie he had encountered in the secret dungeon, wondering whether it was also one of the Four Disasters Of Creation the voice had spoken of.
"Taraka, Tarakasura, Rahu, Ketu, and so on that I ntioned are powerful demons in their own right. However, they can’t compare to the Four Disasters Of Creation."
"Because the other demons bring death, pain and other evil things to the Earth or other planets. But these Four Disasters Of Creation created trouble for nature itself."
"Vritra the colossal serpent-dragon, coiled himself around the mountains and imprisoned all the waters of the earth. The clouds ceased to form, the rivers stopped flowing, and the earth beca barren."
"No rain fell for years — even the gods weakened, as life began to vanish. The world lay still under a sky of brass, and the rivers whispered from behind Vritra’s sealed caves."
"Kaliya, a massive nāga serpent, fled the ocean and made his ho in the Yamunā River near Vrindavan. His venom turned the entire river black and boiling, killing fish, birds, trees, and all creatures who touched the water. Even the air above it beca toxic — a breath of death."
"Vala, a titanic beast, seized the celestial cows, the symbols of light, dawn, and knowledge, and imprisoned them in a mountain cave. The universe fell into darkness and silence."
"Narakasura enslaved thousands of beings, stole Aditi’s earrings (the light of heaven), and trapped 16,000 maidens in his palace. He dug fortresses beneath the earth, bound the elents, and covered the world in shadow and lust," the voice explained.
Charlotte, Diana, and Alina were all stunned. Those nas were too unfamiliar to them. It was as if they were listening to an imperial edict.
Sharky was actually incredibly shocked. Many things he had just heard seed to completely contradict common knowledge!
"Back then, the entire world was in chaos. Arjuna sees that he unleashed the catastrophe on the Earth just because of Goldenrain Fruit. He didn’t even get that."
"And since he was the son of Indra. He got help from his father. Just like how, Indra has struck the Vritra and Vala with the Vajra. Summoning the sa Vajra, Arjuna also seals back the Vritra and Vala."
"And the sa as Krishna has defeated the Kaliya and Narakasura, Arjuna defeated them."
Sharky was shocked. This Arjuna really was quite an outstanding individual. He had been able to conquer Draupadi, Subhadra, Ulupi and Chitrangada in the arts, while his martial might could slay demons.
The voice continued, "The reason I’m telling you all this in such detail is because I need you to repeat Arjuna’s heroic path. Only then can you obtain the acknowledgnt of his divine weapon and have a hope of defeating that powerful being."
"Repeat Arjuna’s heroic path?" Sharky repeated, his expression strange. He asked, "That powerful enemy you ntioned, just who is he?"
The voice fell silent for a while when it heard his question. Then, it said, "He’s a traitor who betrayed ."
"Before the Kurukshetra’s war began, Krishna had beco famous. I didn’t like it, and always humiliated him with words. There was one of my friends, he also didn’t like Krishna. And together we mocked him."
"And in the Rajasuya of Yudhishthira, once again I mocked Krishna, since my friend told . But that ti, I forgot that it was my hundredth offence against him."
"And Krishna with his Sudharshan Chakra killed . The person, who I called him as my friend, didn’t appear to save ."
The three won exchanged a look of pity for him. They understand that he was manipulated by his friend against Krishna and sacrificed by him. They didn’t know who Krishna was, but still felt pity for him.
"Only after dying, through my spirit did I really understand that Krishna was not my enemy. It was the person who used to provoke Krishna."
Sharky could sense that the voice’s resentnt still hadn’t faded. He asked with a strange expression, "So the powerful enemy you want to defeat is your friend?"
"Yes," the voice said in anger, "I need you to face my friend, his na is Jarashandha."
Sharky was stunned hearing that. Through it, he finally understood who the guy was in front of them.
Since, he has done a little research about Indian mythology, he knew about the Jarashandha always attacking Mathura, and he also understood the person in front of them, help him. He was none other than Shishupala, the cousin of Krishna.
"So you’re Shisupala! Right!" He asked him.
He hadn’t expected this person to be the Shishupala, although this person has not many major achievents. But at ti of his, he was a powerful king. Born with three eyes and four arms.
The voice remained silent for a while. Then, it said with a sigh, "It’s been so long since soone called that. I hadn’t expected soone would still rember ."
Sharky also cald himself down a bit, then said with a smile, "In my hotown, there probably aren’t that many people who don’t rember you."
"Is that so?" The voice chuckled, seemingly not all that surprised to hear that. It seed to have a natural air of confidence, continuing, "Since you know who I am, then I don’t need to beat around the bush any longer. Because of Jarashandha’s betrayal, I got killed. That’s why I need your strength to help get revenge."
"Okay," Sharky agreed to him. Because maybe the spirit of Shishupala didn’t know that Jarashandha was later killed by Bhima.
Just then, the voice said, "That’s why I want you to repeat Arjuna’s heroic path. If you obtain the divine weapon, you’ll have the ability to face him."
"For killing Jarashandha, why should I need to follow Arjuna’s path?" Sharky asked him again.
"Because only Arjuna’s Gandiva has powers to kill again the Four Disasters of Creation. And Jarashandha will also be killed by it, and then I will also be satisfied, and peacefully wait for him in Yama’s hell."
Charlotte exclaid in shock, "So you are already... dead?"
"Correct. To a certain degree, I am indeed dead," the voice said sadly. "My current self is nothing more than a remnant will that was left behind because I sensed that sothing was off and wanted to have sothing just in case. I hadn’t expected the worst to have already happened."
Sharky thought to himself, Just a remnant will was enough to last until now? Just how terrifying was this guy when he was at his strongest?
Diana said, "I apologize for speaking bluntly. What you speak of is already tens of thousands of years in the past. If your enemy hasn’t ascended, then he’s also died. Isn’t asking Sharky to help you rather aningless?"
Alina was worried about Sharky’s safety, so she spoke up in agreent. "That’s right. You weren’t Jarashandha’s match even when you were at your strongest, and even just a remnant will of yours is beyond our understanding. I fear that it won’t be too realistic to place your hopes on us to get revenge for you."
"The path to ascension was already ruined by then, so there’s no way Jarashandha ascended. However, with his power, it isn’t impossible for him to have survived until now. No, he’s definitely still alive. I can still sense his aura in this world," the voice said, seeming to be sowhat moved.
It continued, "Furthermore, back then in Rajusaya, it was Krishna who killed . If not, I can easily defeat Jarashandha, as I wish."
Alina clicked her tongue inwardly. As expected, no strong individuals were willing to acknowledge defeat. Her question seed to have provoked him a bit.
"What did you an when you said that the path to ascension was already ruined?" Charlotte and Diana were more concerned with that, and couldn’t help but blurt out the question. Countless stunning individuals had risen over the years, and yet not a single one had been able to truly beco an immortal. Could that be the reason?
The voice said indifferently, "That’s related to a trendous secret that I can’t tell you. Of course, if you complete my request, I can consider telling you."
Sharky was speechless. This guy seems a bit two-faced!
But he does not have any problem, because he knows that Jarashandha has already died, he was killed by Bhima himself. So, he doesn’t have any worries.
Moreover, if Jarashandha by chance appeared again, to fulfill his promise, Sharky will again choose this world and that ti, he will first beco stronger in this world, and then kill Jarashandha.
He just didn’t know why he needed to walk again on the heroic path of Arjuna.
Charlotte also was confused by it, she couldn’t help but ask, "However, according to what senior has said, Arjuna already killed those terrifying beasts on his heroic path, so why are they still in this world?"
The voice explained, "You’re looking down on those beasts too much. They’re naturally produced by the world, born from the negative emotions of people. Even if they’re killed, as long as humans still carry all sorts of desires, they’ll be revived again after so ti. Now that I think about how long it has been, it’s about ti for them to revive."
The others’ expressions beca grave when they heard that. They could revive? Just what kind of creatures were these?
Diana asked, "Even if he completed that so-called heroic path, why would he be able to obtain a divine weapon? Sohow, I feel as if those two things aren’t exactly connected."
