Vote for Monthly Pass) Goddess Lakshmi’s gaze was fixed upon Goddess Parvati.

Suddenly, she spoke up.

“How’s that one who graces his neck with formidable serpents these days?”

Her voice was lofty, and she toned it like a peacock’s call—pleasing to the ear yet tinged with sarcasm, mockery, and a touch of nonchalance.

“Heh~”

“It seems there’s another, seated upon a serpent!”

Goddess Parvati slightly turned, her rosy lips parted as she said.

“Is Shiva full adorned in leaves from head to toe?”

Goddess Lakshmi retorted with disdain.

“Do Vishnu’s eyes grow lotuses?” Parvati cocked her head, continuing to scoff.

Vishnu was known as ‘Lotus-eyed,’ a fact she used to mock him.

As Indra listened to the two goddesses, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Is this it?!

Such fury between the two, and this is all they have to show for it?!

Pathetically weak attacks!

Not even as good as a child’s squabble!

Goddess Lakshmi’s complexion turned sour, and with a snort she continued, “Is he still wildly performing the ‘Tandava’ dance?”

“By the way, the imprint of the Vajra Pestle still lingers on your husband’s head,” she mentioned offhandedly.

Parvati immediately retorted.

Goddess Lakshmi’s face flushed red; her plump lips pursed, her bosom heaved with breaths of indignation as she stared down Parvati.

“You…”

“Parvati, your words are distasteful!” Goddess Lakshmi exclaimed angrily.

“Lakshmi, you speak too much.

Every time your mouth opens, it’s to mock!”

“Like it or not, Mahadeva is the greatest god in this world!” Parvati stood her ground without yielding.

The quarrel between Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Parvati grew more intense.

“Vishnu is the epitome of kindness!”

“Shiva is the Lord of innocence!”

“Vishnu is venerated by all!”

“Shiva is the deity of deities!”

“Vishnu is supreme above all!”

“Mahadeva is the ultimate form!”

Goddess Lakshmi wore a gloomy expression.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered blue as she stared at Goddess Parvati, her voice cold.

“No!”

“My husband is indeed the greatest god; you, a wife who hasn’t borne a child for her husband, have no right to speak!” Goddess Lakshmi said furiously.

Boom!!!

The moment these words were spoken, the surrounding deities were taken aback and felt a heavy silence.

Be it Shiva, Vishnu, or even the casual onlookers Brahma and Saraswati, all their gazes were drawn to the two.

There was no question that those words struck a sore spot for Goddess Parvati!

At that moment, Goddess Parvati trembled, her composure exploding into a furious rage, and she glared vehemently at Goddess Lakshmi.

Her chest heaved as she bit out each word.

“Neither do you!” retaliated Parvati fiercely.

“Who says I don’t!”

Goddess Lakshmi let out a light laugh, and with a proud stance, she claimed, “From peacock feathers used to clean my husband’s ears, two clumps fell into the Milk Sea, giving birth to life—I am already a mother.”

“My husband is the greatest god in the world!” Goddess Lakshmi opened her arms wide, beaming to Vishnu with a playful wink.

Vishnu’s smile carried an added bitterness.

He was at a loss for words, seemingly unsure of what to say next.

“I get it now!”

“They’re debating over who is greater, Shiva or Vishnu,” realized Indra in an epiphany.

He quietly watched the two of them, pondering Goddess Lakshmi’s words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

“But Goddess Lakshmi just said something emerged from Vishnu’s earwax?

Why do I have a bad feeling about this!”

Indra crossed his arms.

He furrowed his brows, thinking to himself.

Could these two guys have transformed into Asuras?!

Indra frowned and took two steps back, hiding behind the other gods.

No matter what, looking at the scene now, the two Lady Masters appear to be about to start fighting.

It’s better for him to keep a good distance from the battlefield!

At this moment, the two goddesses had fiery looks in their eyes, biting their lips, their anger burning, and it seemed they would start fighting any moment.

Saraswati Goddess was hesitating, watching the two goddesses, debating whether she should go up and stop them, wondering if she would get caught in the crossfire if they indeed started fighting.

“Oh, Vishnu~ Vishnu!”

Suddenly, a carefree voice of praise echoed through Vighna.

A plump, cheerful figure holding a Vina stepped lively into Vighna.

The wild Narada Muni had appeared!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

This voice of praise instantly shattered the dead silence around, and everyone turned their heads toward Narada Muni.

Even Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Parvati turned their heads, staring intently at the suddenly appeared Narada.

Er…

Narada Muni, with his mouth slightly open, holding the Vina, stood there with a fixed gaze, standing in place, stunned.

There seems to be fun today!

But it looked like he was late and had become part of the fun.

“Narada!”

Narada!

Narada!

Narada!

Goddess Lakshmi’s echoing voice, filled with rage and arrogance, reached Narada’s ears, and his face betrayed utter astonishment, and he looked at the Lady Master somewhat flustered.

It seems he’s become more than just a source of amusement; this situation could be life-threatening!

“Narada, I’m asking you!”

“Who is the greatest god in this world?”

Goddess Lakshmi raised her hand, her tone admonishing, her fair, luminous fingers pointing at Narada Muni, pressing him for an answer.

Whoosh!

Goddess Parvati turned her head to look, too.

Her eyes wide open, she stared hard at Narada Muni, her lips slightly parted, breathing heavily, her tongue reddened as if she was about to transform into the world-devouring Kali at the first wrong word.

Seeing this, a flash of excitement went through Indra’s eyes, and he peered out, astonished by this scene.

“The despicable Narada has his day!”

Indra struggled to hold back his laugh.

It turns out he came on the right day, seeing such a good show indeed!

Narada Muni was immediately in a panic!

This question was like having to choose whom to save first if your mother and wife both fell into the water—utterly tricky.

He really wanted to say it was Vishnu.

But Goddess Parvati seemed a bit scary!

Narada Muni’s back was soaked with sweat, his gaze shifted, looking instinctively at his Supreme Lord.

Vishnu was silent, his expression sorrowful.

That’s not possible?

Narada Muni’s gaze then turned towards Mahadeva.

Shiva was also looking troubled.

That’s not possible either?

With a pleading look, Narada Muni finally turned towards his father Brahma, and Goddess Saraswati.

Brahma’s face was also helpless.

He couldn’t help either!

Narada Muni’s gaze shifted again, quickly sweeping over the surrounding Immortals and other Devas.

The Devas and Immortals all startled, their eyes widened.

Some even instinctively stepped back.

Could it be?

Is it possible?

Could this guy be trying to divert the disaster onto them?!
