Chapter 115: Resolution (1/2)

Since Hermes had fainted, the boundary he had erected vanished, and movement between the previously separate realms was now open.

Alex hastily ran up inside and found Hermes buried by a pile of ash.

With a swift swing of his hand, the fine particles withered away, and the heavily injured Hermes came into his sight.

His skin had turned dry and scaly from the heat, and no sign of life was visible on the charred skin.

Alex immediately Incarnated into Hermes and grabbed the fallen Caduceus.

He inserted his Faith Energy into the staff and began healing his friend.

Fortunately, the healing process was quick and effective, and the burned outer layer of his skin simply shed away, revealing a completely unharmed body.

However, his clothes had also burned away, and Alex covered his body with a part of his own toga.

Meanwhile, Indra bowed deeply to the woman they all called 'Lady Parvati'.

She looked around at the mess and coldly said, ”Chandra informed me of the irrational disturbances you have caused due to the loss of your mortal disciple.”

Indra shook profusely, but he sternly replied, ”I have but tried to balance the dharma of our land, Lady Parvati.”

”Preposterous! This land, is free land, under the decree of Sir Siddartha Gautama! It is not part of your kingly duties to antagonize potential allies, as far I know, Indra, do correct me if I am wrong,” Parvati scolded the god, and while she did ask him to correct her, it didn't seem like she actually meant it from her icy expression.

Earlier, Indra had warned Ayush not to escape, and the mortal prince obliged and stayed in the very same seat.

Parvati had a look of pity on her face when she saw him, and she remarked, ”I can't believe you were stupid enough to fall into the Asura's trap...”

When Durga heard the term 'Asura', she jerked intensely and glared at Ayush.

Parvati continued, ”You thought you could become immortal by transfusing Asura blood into your bone marrow, didn't you?”

Ayush listlessly shook his head.

”Immortal blood seeps away at the longevity of mortals, especially if you transfuse it into your body...”

”You're not going to live longer than a year, mortal, you'll start aging rapidly and then die in unbearable pain.”

Ayush's red eyes widened and he exclaimed, ”That's not what they sa-

”Lady Parvati, shall I end his life?” Durga interjected as spiteful eyes glared at the prince.

Parvati nodded and said, ”Put him out of his misery.”

”Bu-

Ayush tried to object to his sudden death sentence, but the war goddess' weapons were ruthless, and her sword beheaded him before he could even finish his sentence.

Aadityapal stood on the opposite side of the venue with Ranya, and his eyes flashed with a strange satisfaction when he saw the retribution of the gods upon Ayush.

”Durga?” Parvati turned to the goddess.

”Yes, milady?”

”The Asuras have become more proactive, as it seems, we need to resume our raids on the malevolent clans.”

”As you wish, Lady Parvati.”
