Chapter 15: Battle into the Cosmic ocean.
" So where do we go then? " Andhaka asked curiously as he has been in that dark void for thousands of years and doesn't know much about the outside world as he was only a few years of age when he was ' Killed ' By the dog named Indra. ( Please don't strike me with lightning. Oh, great dog Indra. )
" We certainly can't go to the Svarga Loka and even the earth wouldn't be able to take on the destruction caused by the battle between you two.
Kailash has residents and I don't think Andhaka would like to go to the realm of Vishnu while in the realm of Brahma fighting is a very big no-no so I guess we can only go to the Cosmic ocean as it is the only suitable option and it also won't cause any commotion or attract attention if you fight there. " Shukra spoke while stroking his beard.
[ Every myth has some major divine thing that is even above the gods in some cases such as Yggdrasil in Norse and River Styx in Greek so just imagine the Cosmic ocean as something similar to them. ]
" Well, we shall do as you say " Andhaka spoke while nodding his head as to him the place didn't matter at all, he can even fight right here in the Pataal Loka without caring about the loss of lives and property it will cause.
It may be because of his anger for his parent's loss or because of getting influenced by the concepts of Darkness and Destruction but he felt eager to kill and destroy things which would have been a very big no-no for his past self.
" May I ask cousin what weapon he prefers? " Prahlada asked with a kind smile on his face which for some reason had started to make Andhaka feel irritated.
The guy appeared more like a Buddhist God rather than an Asura God.
Andhaka was not trained professionally in weapon fighting but his instinct was more than enough for him to combat Prahlada and what better thing than melee when you want to flex.
" you can see it but, it depends on your ability " Andhaka spoke in an icy cold voice not an inch of politeness in his voice as he didn't need to be polite with him.
If..... he was truly under Vishnu's illusion then he can change his attitude towards him but if he really was such a big devotee of Vishnu that he can even act like the death of his family members was nothing but justice winning over evil then he doesn't even plan to keep him alive when he is not needed anymore.
Prahlada didn't mind his cousin's cold tone and continued to smile kindly as it was understandable for him to feel angry after finding out what happened to his family.
Even though he hasn't met with his uncle and Andhaka's father personally in real life but since he was killed by his lord Vishnu then the fault must lie with him as there is no way that Lord Vishnu will ever kill anyone who is not evil.
" Teacher can we be quick. I am getting irked by this guy. " Andhaka's anger increase more and more after he saw Prahlada still smiling kindly as if nothing had happened.
He can't understand how a pushover like him can be the king of The Asura race.
But after thinking about it for a second it seemed plausible as he was made the king by Vishnu so it all made sense.
" Damn you, why do you always target us unnecessarily. " After thinking a little more about the topic, things started to become clear in Andhaka's mind.
The Asuras were the lords of the three realms in Hiranyakshipu's time and Vishnu being one of the Trimurti can't interfere directly between the matters regarding the Asuras and the Devas unless or until the situation required so he made a pushover like Prahalda the king so that the devas can regain their control over the worlds and once again become the dominant centre of the three worlds.
Shukra looked at Andhaka's face with a little concern as it was getting more and more scrunched with intense anger apparent in his eyes after each passing second.
~~~~~~~
A random part of the huge cosmic ocean.
Precious Asura king Prahlada vs Former Crown Prince Andhakasura.
Andhaka and Prahlada stood opposite each other while floating high up in the air above the cosmic ocean.
Both looked at each other warily as there was too much to lose and too much to win so both of them were taking this very seriously.
Shukra stood in between of them with a rock in his hand.
" As the rock touches the water, the fight between you two will start. " Both Andhaka and prahlada nodded after hearing his words and Shukra dropped the stone from his hands and it started to fall down towards the cosmic ocean.
Andhaka started to get ready and started chanting a mantra while an aura of darkness swirled around his body.

[ Andhaka POV ]
I watched the stone with eager and anticipating eyes as the beast inside me was ready to unleash its carnage.
' Splash ' As soon as my eyes saw the stone touch the water I advanced towards Prahlada with great speed.
They say it's always better to first measure your opponent but Andhaka only believed in his strength. If he is weak then he will lose and if he is powerful then he will win, easy so he didn't care a single bit about Prahlada's moves and charged directly toward him.
" Here taste my fist and tell me how it feels as in future I plan to give one or two to your So-called ' Lord Vishnu " I spoke arrogantly while thrusting my right arm which had swelled up due to the darkness around it towards Prahlada.
Prahlada quickly created a group of magical shields to defend himself but my fists were full of rage, anger and momentum and they easily shattered the bastard's magic shields and smashed him directly into his face.
" BOOM "
The sound and waves of the impact were very terrifying and the whole ocean trembled as if the earth was being torn apart.
My fist sent my dear cousin flying and his body was blown directly into the ocean below them.
Andhaka starts to get himself ready for his next attack as he doesn't think his cousin will go down only with this much.
And as he had thought only after a brief amount of time Prahlada emerged out of the ocean and also shouted out loudly at the time.
" only this much?? it would be an insult to Lord Vishnu if you plan to attack him with this? " Prahlada spoke domineering but his physical condition betrayed him as his clothes were half torn and the left side of his face was literally flattened.
' This bastard why does he looks like Voldemort so much but still tries to act hard ' Andhaka chuckled with satisfaction while seeing his deformed face.
" Cousin now I shall defeat you " Prahlada spoke with some anger in his voice.
' --- As if you can do that bastard. ' Andhaka scoffed at Prahlada's words.
" Then let me see how you will do that. " I flew towards him and started to attack at such a speed that Prahlada couldn't even register.
I kicked and punched the guy in his stomach, lungs and face continuously.
" Aaaahhhhhhh " He didn't have the strength to fight against my high-speed movements and attacks and was being battered very badly.
Prahlada was once again thrown into the ocean and now the fight had started to look more like Bayern vs Barcelona.
"It's been a long time since I have let people see it but I can only use it now Since there is no other way " I saw Prahlada emerging from the ocean and he muttered these words and started to chant something.
Instantly an unprecedented and beastly aura started to come out from his body.
everything in the visible range started shaking and trembling, even the Powerful Asuras who stood far away from the battlefield were able to feel intense pressure.
Surrounded by everyone's gaze his body started to change.
His skin started to change its colour and from normal human-like colour, it started to change into a tone of dark red.
His arms, legs and back and his head started to grow a hideous looking armour as its second skin and claws started to appear on his hands.
Two more pairs of Arms sprouted out of his back and two more heads also started to emerge from his neck.
I looked at my cousin with responsiveness as seeing his skin writhing and body changing its shape was quite terrifyingly..... ugly.
His hair started to burn like fire. No, it wasn't that his hair burned like fire but it was as if his hair was the fire a halo-like ring made up of fire formed upon his back and the amount of heat it gave off was terrifying.
His whole body radiated a black aura along with the intense red aura of the ring behind him and finally in front of them stood an unknown and terrifying being.
The Former king and the strongest Asura had finally shown his true form.
' Heh this makes it much more interesting ' I smiled while looking at my cousin excitingly.
