Chapter 61 61. Need A Miracle
'Please there will be no vision, Please there will be no vision.'
After trying to talk with the system to no avail, All Karna can do at this moment is pray that there will be no vision, He really was uneasy because of the unknown which was out of his control.
Though if there is no vision the power he got could not perform its best as it has to be validated by the world or at least show its presence to it but he just hopes that like before there would be a delay in it, 20 years of it will be ideal.
*Rumble*
While Karna was hoping for the best, Over the sky of Hastinapur storm brewing in the dark black clouds giving a very ominous aura, anyone who would look at the sky at that moment they would not be able to see the sun in the sky.
Rather the pitch black sky which was even depressing to look at birthing fear in the hearts of the watcher, Thankfully Surya floating in the sky seeing how bad the situation might turn out was already prepared.
He with a wave with his hand created a strong Maya (Illusion) over the Hastinapur kingdom, both to avoid harming innocent people and to protect the secret of his son's reawakening.
*Huff* *Huff*
Surya was breathing heavily as he was making sure that his Maya did not break while trying to hold back the inevitable vision with his known futile attempts.
He knows that he could not stop this vision from happening but he can at least slow it down till someone arrives for his aid, Or he hopes someone would arrive as he put all his faith into the hope that they will.
"*Sigh* I don't know if I will be angry or happy with you."
Surya's body was radiating the golden-yellow light out of him trying to push back the dark clouds which were gathering in the sky. There were already beads of sweets covering his forehead just from his attempt to try to hold back this vision.
He could not help but feel a feeling of Deja Vu as he looked towards the direction where his son was seated, surrounded by the aura that he was struggling to keep at bay.
There was of course a proud feeling in his heart, He too misunderstood this as an Re-awakening and because he knows about his supreme charm and the Soveriour Physiques, He can't even imagine how strong his son would be.
So he was quite happy for him. He could not wait to tell this information to his wife. It's just their only problem was that because of his strong power, it triggered the heaven and earth vision just like before.
Last time even with Devi Ganga he was not able to fully counter these visions and now it was even stronger than before, It was the vision of chaos, Though just a vision but it was enough to put any low and mid-level god in Samsara and high level like him in a recovery sleep for thousands of years.
This pissed him off. He was not young anymore to handle this stuff, Though gods never get old rather they get stronger and stronger with their age but it still is not good for health to go head-on against the power of the high heavens.
"Ohh, Arya, is our little one giving you trouble? Hehe~"
As Surya was struggling to manage two things at once, A sweet giggle fell on his ears making him smile wryly, he already knew who the speaker was just by the tone of voice.
"It's not good for the fun of your husband, Chhaya, Come on handle this illusion and I will focus on resisting this vision."
Surya did not bother to argue with her as it was her nature to be cheerful which was contrary to the expectation of her being the goddess of Shadows.
"I am not making fun of you Arya, But it is your fault, If you told us where our son was we might be able to avoid all this, You it's all on you."
A dark figure appeared out of the shadows of nearby objects because of the illumination because of the light radiating from Surya, Which soon took the shape of a woman and then the figure of Chhaya appeared from it.
Chhaya said to Surya as she was coming out of the shadows but it did not stop her as with a flick of her hand, She quickly took over the Maya Surya was hardly able to keep it together.
As she did that, The Maya which was on the verge of crumbling and breaking stopped as it was visible to the naked eye and recovered in an instant, Which made Chhaya to turn around and give Surya a smug smile but all she saw was he was struggling to keep up with the gathering of the dark clouds.
This also made her see the severity of the situation as she divided large positions of her power to aid Surya as rest she put into maintaining the Maya.
She did not know it was about their son until she saw how hard her Arya was trying to prevent this vision from appearing into the world, Even knowing the risk of trying to defile the will of the world.
So she thought that it was about their son but it was just a hypothesis of hers but when Surya did not retort to her, It confirmed it was about their son which let her know what was at stake and hence gave her all to protect him.
Visions normally just come and go away bestowing the powers and blessings on the person who provided the vision but this one is different, It was no normal vision but the vision of chaos.
Unlike others, it did not have any problem with harming people. If the one who provoked did not have a strong mind and strength, The chaos will corrupt their mind and soul, And once that happened they will be nothing more than a frenzied animal with no will of their just instincts.
Chhaya would never allow something like that to happen to their son, She already harmed him enough, She was ready to do anything to prevent any harm to him.
"So it was already happening? Am I too late?"
While both Surya and Chhaya's combined power were struggling to stop clouds from gathering in the sky, A third voice appeared and as it appeared a twilight-coloured light went straight into the clouds with their combined power for a moment stopping the gathering of clouds.
But everyone knows it was just a temporary solution. Once they stop pouring all their effort to prevent this from happening, Vision will appear in the world and even if they somehow wanted to continue doing this, It would not be long till the power of chaos would overwhelm them.
"Sandhya!! You too are here? Thank the stars for this fate but I think you should go to my father-in-law and see if he can make something to stop this vision."
When Surya and Chhaya were close to being losing their resistance, Sky turned light red as Sandya appeared out of nowhere after which she did not waste a second talking about anything and just gave her all to aid the two of them.
She has questions, a lot of them but seeing this was not the right time to ask them, She kept quite focusing on the task at hand.
Surya seeing her here could not help but be happy that luck was on his side, But he too knew though it was taking a lot of load from them it would not last, They needed a permanent solution.
So he thought of his father-in-law, The architect of gods, Vishwakarma, Surya was sure that he can make something that can even contain the power of chaos, After all the feats of his were quite mighty.
This is a man who created mighty weapons like Trishul of Lord Shiva, and Sudarshana of Lord Vishnu, So he definitely has known a way to defend against the power of chaos.
"I would If I could but the residence of my father and come here with the way, Even If I tried my best it would take at least a day, Can you hold that long?"
Sandhya's full focus was on the clouds in the sky trying to gather together to create a vision, Which their combined power was preventing but it started to get harder to keep them separate.
When she saw what was happening there, It was also her first thought of going to her father. She knew he could deal with this but the problem was time, They did not have time at all.
Even if she flew out at her full speed, The moment she got out from this realm and went upward, The time would start to fasten up as higher she goes relative to Earth.
So even a few moments in the upper realm can be years if not decades here, Which made this option unless it could not be used at all.
"That-...Then do you think we would break this illusion and ask for help from other gods?"
Surya in his desperation did not think about the time dilation and when Sandhya pointed it out the hope which was risen in his heart sank down.
Now there is no other way in his eyes. If other gods give him a hand they might be able to push this vision back but that means exposing the secret of Karna, making him a target of the world.
And what is worse is that he can't even announce Karna is his son, Which at least can take half of the pressure from him and become a deterrent for Indra, But that curse is still there waiting for him to make a mistake so it can hunt his son.
Which is a cruel joke of Niyati (Destiney), Chhaya has already given a way to remove that curse, Which was so easy that it was not even worth considering the threat of that curse but fate had other plans.
"W-We wait for little, Maybe a miracle might happen, Let's just hold on for a while."
Sandhya understands what her husband was trying to say. If they did not prevent this vision from appearing in the world, Karna's life might be in danger but she was also afraid that if gods figure out a kid provoked this vision then Karna might be in bigger danger.
She was being torn apart not knowing what to choose. No matter what she chose it would end up harming their son, So all she could do is to hold on and wait for some miracle to happen. That is all she can do now.
(A/N : Who do you think will come to "help" him? (As you all know Karna is not in danger as it is a system product, But others did not know it.)
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ??.)
