Chapter 35 - 35 35 Burst into Laughter and Make a Dazzling Entrance
35: Chapter 35: Burst into Laughter and Make a Dazzling Entrance 35: Chapter 35: Burst into Laughter and Make a Dazzling Entrance The gods began to queue up one after another.
Yama, the God of Death, Vishvakarman, the Divine Architect, Xīmí, the Goddess of the Earth, each Deva, in turn, joined the line, holding a golden bowl and partaking in the spring-like Amrita.
The gods all tilted their heads back to drink.
“The power of the Amrita is within me!”
“So warm, so comfortable!”
“I am now filled with strength!”
…
In the immortal Amrita, the gods couldn’t help but show intoxicating expressions of bliss.
Rahu, disguised as a Gandharva, mingled within the massed armies of the Heavenly Realm, gazing from afar at the endless queue that made his heart flutter anxiously.
More annoyingly, the beautiful Apsaras would occasionally come and help familiar Gandharvas cut in line.
Rahu saw the line growing longer and that he kept getting pushed further back.
His face fell, and he frowned, feeling a rising sense of annoyance in his heart.
With such a long queue, when would it be his turn!
“No way!”
“At this rate, who knows how many years it would take, I have to think of something.”
Rahu thought to himself.
He looked around him.
Suddenly, a goddess in a white dress passed by the many Gandharvas, leaving behind only an elegant silhouette.
“Who is that goddess?”
Rahu’s eyes lit up.
A nearby Gandharva, boasting proudly, replied, “You don’t know her?
She is the daughter of Sun God Surya, the twin sister of the God of Death Yama, also the wife of Lord Yama, the deity of the river Yamuna—Yamini!”
Hearing this, Rahu’s lips curled slightly.
He raised his hand and gently brushed his beard, gazing at Yamini’s beautiful silhouette and nodding in acknowledgement.
As a Danava from the Asura clan, although he wasn’t as skilled in combat as the Asura General from the Daityas clan, his Maya Illusion Power was far superior to that of a common Asura.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have confidently infiltrated this great army of the Heavenly Realm.
“It’s time to show my true power!”
Rahu turned around and walked straight out of the queue without looking back.
Hmph!
This stupid queue was for fools; he now had a much better approach.
Let’s see how he would use his cunning to prevail!
Rahu made his way to a corner of Sudarśana City unhurriedly, then he twisted his neck and spun it around swiftly.
The Maya Illusion Power was deployed.
In an instant, the mighty Gandharva warrior vanished, replaced by a cool goddess in a white dress who bore a striking resemblance to Yamini.
“I am truly a genius!”
Rahu chuckled softly.
He immediately took flight, heading towards the banquet of the gods.
Whoosh!
Rahu flew swiftly; he aimed to drink the Amrita before Yamini.
As he passed over the seemingly endless line of Gandharvas, he looked down and couldn’t help but smile at the sight, his lips curving into a grin.
Hmm-hmm!
Swish!
Rahu’s form hastened, flying towards the temple where the gods were drinking the Amrita.
At that moment, the Gandharvas below erupted into exclamations.
“Did you see that?
Goddess Yamini looked at me and smiled!”
“What are you talking about, that was at me!”
“Eh?
I thought Goddess Yamini had already passed by, hadn’t she?”
“Really?
You must be mistaken!”
“Yeah, you definitely got it wrong!”
The line of Gandharvas became a jumbled mess at that point, with many arguing about to whom Yamini had actually smiled.
…
While the gods drank their fill of the Amrita,
the Yamini that Rahu had transformed into finally arrived at the temple where Amrita was being distributed.
He landed in front of the temple, looking curiously around him while swaggering into the temple with his bow-legged stride.
At that moment, Moon God Soma was in charge, sharing the Amrita.
He immediately noticed ‘Yamini.’
At the time, Yamini bore a beaming smile, her demeanor exuberant as she walked with a breeze, her white dress revealing icy, snow-white ankles and long slender legs, looking nothing like her usual reserved self.
“So beautiful!”
“The wife of Yama, she’s truly beautiful!”
Silver light flashed in Soma’s eyes as he thought.
He was fond of beautiful things, especially beautiful women.
Among beautiful women, he had always harbored a special yearning for married ones.
For instance, the wife of the Ritual Master Immortal, Tara, who was stunningly beautiful and alluring.
He very much liked her and had long wished to meet with Tara under the moonlight, to soothe her loneliness and dispel her coldness.
After all, the Ritual Master Immortal spent most of his time in ascetic practice, being available to accompany the Heavenly Emperor rather than returning home to his lonely wife.
Regrettably, he hadn’t yet found the opportunity!
He didn’t expect that Yama’s wife ‘Yamini’ would also be so enchanting.
“I like it!”
“It’s said that Yama loathes Yamini, thinking that a union between siblings is wrong.
I wonder if I have a chance…”
Soma thought to himself.
Not far off, Sun God Surya also noticed the ill-mannered ‘Yamini’.
He frowned.
“Yama, control your wife!”
Sun God Surya murmured softly.
Yama’s brow furrowed, he glanced at ‘Yamini’ with disgust, not surprised in the least, feeling almost as if he had the gift of foresight.
“I called her an unfaithful woman the moment she expressed her desire to unite with me.”
“This is not surprising at all now!”
Yama’s blue face tightened as he turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Surya.
Surya was momentarily lost for words.
His father-in-law Vishvakarman had personally stated that the twin siblings were destined to become husband and wife, yet Yama didn’t like Yamini at all; he felt disgust and even revulsion towards her.
No wonder!
Yamini didn’t look the least bit like a wife now!
Surya stood up, his golden armor sparkling, his handsome face wearing a cold expression, devoid of any feeling as he walked towards Yamini.
At that moment, Rahu was brimming with excitement.
His Maya Illusion Power was indeed mighty and invincible, not a single god in the Heavenly Realm could detect any flaw, nor did anyone obstruct him.
Amrita!
His eyes were shining, his feet seemed to catch the wind, he moved past the numerous Devas with long strides, nearly unable to resist tearing off the obstructive long gown.
“Goddess Yamini, you’ve come!”
Moon God Soma smiled faintly, a cool silver glow pulsating on his armor, a look of concern appearing on his handsome face.
“Mm!
Mm!
Mm!”
‘Yamini’ made several humming sounds, her eyes fixated on the golden crown, saying, “It’s my turn now, right?”
“Of course!”
Soma pushed aside a beautiful Apsara who was expectantly waiting her turn, took ‘Yamini’s’ hand, and revealed, on the divine table, a shining Golden Canister.
“Soma!”
At that moment, the Sun God’s voice suddenly reverberated.
Soma’s gaze sharpened, and with a start, he let go of ‘Yamini’s’ hand.
Rahu eagerly eyed the Amrita, stepping forward, but a hand as hot as the sun suddenly grasped his wrist.
“Yamini!”
Surya exclaimed sharply.
“!!!”
Rahu tugged at his hand, trying to move forward, but found that he couldn’t pull himself away from the angry Sun God.
“Yamini, what are you doing!”
The Sun God Surya yanked ‘Yamini’ in front of himself, staring furiously at his own daughter.
The entire temple was enveloped in sudden silence, as the eyes of all the gods turned their way.
An eerie atmosphere pervaded!
Just then, a generous laugh erupted from outside the temple.
The gods turned their heads to look.
The Heavenly Emperor Indra was laughing heartily, and beside him, a beautiful goddess in a white dress was raising her fair hand to her lips, showing a blissful smile.
Clearly, they were enjoying their conversation!
Huh?
“Yamini?!”
The Sun God Surya widened his eyes and exclaimed.
Huh?!
In an instant, several gazes intersected in the temple at that moment.
