Chapter 72 72. Deluxe Inventory
[Ding! Host triggered Ten-Thousand Critical strikes on it….
Congratulations to the host for getting Delux System inventory and Supreme Akshaya Patra…
Deluxe System Inventory : This is an upgraded version of the system inventory in which you can put anything be it inanimate objects or a living being inside the inventory.
Also inventory is not bound by any laws and only follows the command of the system host, So there is no time to exist. Anything put in it will freeze in time and when taken out it will be in the same state as you put it before.
Inventory is Indestructible, It can't be destroyed either to stuff in it.
(Note : Anything in the field of vision can be stored into the inventory without needing to touch it, and once something was in the inventory, That can be put back anytime you want in inventory even if it was no longer in your field of vision or anywhere near you.)
Supreme Akshaya Patra : This is the final version of Akshaya Patra which was supposed to give an inexhaustible supply of food.
This version however gives inexhaustible not only food but anything that is edible which are needed or wanted by its user.
It also does not have any restrictions of once its user has eaten it stops supplying the food, It can at any time provide the needed amounts of food.]
Karna was stunned and shocked by what just happened. He tried everything before he futilely tried to unlock the system inventory but now he found out all he needed to do was to steal opportunity from heaven's loved ones? This really frustrated him.
Surya too was going through something similar as he realise what just he did, This Akshay Patra was supposed to be given to Yudhishthira, "Eldest" of Pandavas to make it easy for their Vanvas (Willing to live/Exile in the forest) but now he gave this thing to Karna.
He does not understand why he would do something like that. He already knows what is going to happen in the future and yet he has given the key element to Karna which will change the future. The last thing he wanted to happen.
He knows if he lets things progress his son will die but it is for the greater good. If for the well-being of this world, he had to lose his son then he was willing to do it.
And yet he messed up, Hearing how his son was suffering he just could not sit and watch, His father's instinct overwhelmed his godly duties which led to this, He after realising what he did wanted to take away the Akshaya Patra but Alas it was too.
The moment that vessel touched the hand of Karna it glowed in brilliance and then shot at the middle of Karna's eyebrow where the sun symbol showing off his origin was and then disappeared.
Now he can't back that vessel as it chose its lord, Unless Karna himself has given up to someone or he dies, That vessel will never consider anyone else its master even though he is no exception.
"This…Thank you Bhraman Dev for not only forgiving me but also granting me this divine Vessel, Now with it I never had to be hungry ever again."
Surya still wanted to salvage the situation wanting to ask that vessel back, He decided to give him something else but then Karna spoke with his nectar-like sweet voice.
For a moment Surya had forgotten what he even wanted to ask Karna about it and when he realised he knew he can't ask that anymore, If he did his wives would eat him alive.
Those two are scary. They can take anything and everything from him and would never even say something against him but once it involves their children, They turn into different people. At that time he was dealing with mothers, not his wives.
"....Yes you never be hungry or anyone else around you, Just make sure you will going to feed others before you eat because once you are eaten more food will not appear in the vessel for the rest of the day."
Now that there is nothing he can't do, Surya had to give in and accept the new reality. He just hopes that his father-in-law will understand and make him one more Akshaya Patra so as not to change the future.
After accepting his new reality, Surya was also quite happy after all before was his godly part was concerned about things and now his fatherly part had taken over making him happy that his son would get to eat his stomach full every day without any worry.
"Okay, I understand great sage."
Karna heard the instructions on how to use this divine copper vessel and then warning which he chose to ignore it as because of an upgrade that is no longer the case, He can feed anyone even if he had eaten himself.
And by the system description, He could feel there is much more he can ask for, not just food but he has to look into it later, For now, he put this in his inventory.
"Why don't you use that Putra to bring foo-"
"The Great Queen, All dishes are ready to be served, Please give us the command to do so."
Sandhya and Chhaya both were surprised by how come their husband had given a magical thing like that to Karna, Though they too wanted to help Karna but it was Surya himself said that they should not provide them anything divine to Karna to help him, It would only going to harm him.
And then he goes on to give the most broken magical divine thing he knows meant for someone else, Though they know for whom it is destined for but both women are sure it was not meant for Karna.
But who are they? They don't care about anything else at this moment. Here they wanted to go rough creating to destroy the world to give some benefits to Karna but now they don't have to, Their Araya is handled for them.
So the anger they had for him keeping Karna in this condition decreased a lot, Which is a good thing as it will not take much time for him to cool them down now.
Sandhay seeing accepted as the master of Akshay Patra wanted to ask him to use it, So he will not longer has to bear his hunger but as she would have ask and put Karna in difficult position as because of the upgrade look of Akshay patra is changed, A soldier came and announced that food is ready waiting for queen's permission to be served.
"Of course, Please start serving. We can't make our respectful guests wait any longer, They definitely should have a more important place to visit."
Gandhari is feeling weird with everything mapping here. These people are acting good, Too good in fact. No one can just give divine things like that even if they are big sages.
She thought these people have ulterior motives for Karne hence why they are trying this hard to please him to woo him to work for them or something. She did not like this one bit and was getting annoyed.
When she heard the news, It was like an opportunity for her. She used this to send this guest away as soon as possible. She did not even bother to ask for the full detailed information about Duryodhan's newly awakened powers as she did not trust them anymore.
"Yes, Please serve fast, I was dying because of hunger."
Karna thanked his luck. His heart missed a beat when Sandhya wanted to ask him to bring food out of that vessel. He can't just pull that out now as he can see it has changed a lot. If he took it out they would be suspicious which would not be good for him.
And well he was also too hungry. He just took his place and diligently waited for the food to be served. He even pulled Eklavaya who did not want to bother with the royal thing and made him sit on his left-hand side to eat with him.
And of course, the right-hand side is occupied by Durydohana who was saying something but all his attention was on the door waiting for Das and Dasi (Male and female servants) to put food in front of him.
He came quickly and started serving 56 bhoje (56 types of dishes) in front of everyone starting from respected guest sage and his wife then Karna after that everyone was Karna too consider guest here as an alley of the kingdom.
"Can you start now?"
Karna was nearly drooling out as he staring at the food in front of him but because of etiquette, They can only start to eat once the person in the head's seat started eating who was the Sage and his family at this moment.
"Huh!?...Huh oh, Yeah you can all start."
Sage aka Surya had a thunderstruck look on his face as he stared in the direction of Karna without blinking, When Karna asked he come out of his trance and was allowed to eat.
Karna ignored all the weirdness of Surya, He pretty much jumped on the food and started devouring which should have looked like barbaric behaviour but unrealistically it looked graceful all thanks to his Supreme charm.
Karma did not care much at all, He felt like it's been a months of waiting before he got to eat this. He was enjoying it thoroughly.
(A/N : Yeah, Next chapter is going to be interesting, guys. Guess who is coming in it.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ??.)
