Chapter 142 140. Being Reasonable



"Let's don't then, I always wanted to see how an old man like you can fight, Asura Guru Durvasa."

"Oh, Kettle calling pot black? You are not much younger than me, Rishi Durvasa."

Rishi Durvasa pulled out this beads of Rudraksha, While Asura Guru Shukracharya used his walking stick as a weapon and was ready to start his offence.

"Wait Wait Wait Wait!!! What are you two doing, revered sages? If both of you go and have a fight, I don't know who might be victorious but I know this world will definitely lose.

Just imagine how many innocent lives will be impacted and how many people will have to lose their lives. Please don't do anything in the heat of the moment. We can talk to settle this matter.

What do you two think about it?"

Surya seeing they two were serious had to interfere in them, Though technically Shukracharya come in under his command as he is representing the planet Shukra (Venus).

But Surya not only is another disguise but he respects and is afraid to use his power against Sukracharya.

Not only Shukracharya himself is strong enough but behind him vast Army of Asura not to mention thanks to the boon given to Shukracharya in form of Mantra, Those Asura can also be partially immortal.

As their Guru Shukracharya can bring them back from death any time he wants and on that topic he also has his devotion towards Lord Shiva providing with extra protection.

So all Surya could do to request him to stop the fight, As for why he was saying the same to Rishi Durvasa?

Because he is not crazy, The end result of getting cursed, He is already suffering enough he does not want another problem for him or his family.

"Huh?! Ohh Brahamn, don't worry about the collateral damage, We know not to use destructive Astra's and how to control over power, The worst that can happen is that this city of Hastinapur will be destroyed.

This is a rich kingdom, They can rebuild the thing as for the living harm, don't worry there will be none and if lord forbids it happen, I myself bring them back from death.

But I request you to step aside, I really want that boy as my student, Rishi Durvasa. You know that the knowledge I can provide him even though you can't teach him that right?

So If you allow him to be my student there is no need for the fight if not, Only battle can be decided who will be Guru of that boy.

And before you say you are a Guru already, I remind you that a Guru needs to be most competent. If you can't beat me then that shows I am better at warfare knowledge and hence I am more worthy of being his teacher."

Asura Guru Sukracharya laid his point on the table, He really needed Karna to be his student because Ausura needed some powerful contenders in their group to deter Sura's (Deva's).

Before there was an equilibrium of power, Both factions knew that if they attacked each other they would lose terribly without anyone coming out as victorious.

But now there was virtually only him and a few remaining Asura holding the fort back, If there was a war like before Asura wouldn't be able to survive long.

They can't even depend on his power solely as he can't have an active role in the conflict, He because of his past relationships with Deva's and their teacher can only work as a backup for them.

He thanks to his boon can revive the fallen Asura continuously, Which is the only reason why Deva's not started war against them yet but even with it Asura can't win as there is no proper offence.

That's why he needed someone to train to not go on starting the war with Deva's but to give Asura enough protection to keep them safe, He actually had many such students in his netherworld but the only thing that stopped him from choosing them.

All Asura since he seated to accept the personal student either outright betrayed him, Not listened to his advice or even tried to attack him to gain more power by learning the Mantra of Sanjeevini.

Hence why when he felt that there was a human who awakened the talent he needed to be a protector, He rushed here as fast as he could before anyone else can come here to take that person under his wings.

But who knew? When he reached the Hastinapur border, He felt the power of Rishi Durvasa, Which told him all he wanted to know. He was late and others had already got that person first.

And yet was not ready to give up, He broke the shield and still rushed towards the faint residue of cosmic power leaking out of Karna.

Which led to this confrontation, He not have anything to lose. If he does not do anything soon Asura will be killed one by one until there is none left, He can't let that gods win.

He can't understand all the words and promises his mother made to Asura fail. They come to seek asylum from his family which his mother provided them under the Dharma as unless the seeker is your enemy, Anyone who seeks asylum is to be given.

She followed the Dharma and what did she get for that? She got behaved by the same man who flaunt over the benefits of following Dhamra, The trickster.

He can accept losing to Deva but never to the man who cut his mothers head. Others consider him as Lord but he only see him as a trickster and hypocrite.

"Shukracharya, To be honest I sympathise with you and your cause but don't you think the punishment of going through the cycle of life and death over and over again enough?

And don't you think Guru have to be unbiased without ulterior motives behind his reason of bestowing the nectar of knowledge on their students? You the well-learned and knowledgeable man equal thy superior to the Sura (Deva) Guru Bhuhaspati should know about this one.

Drop the weapons, This Brahamn telling the truth, We should talk this matter out and not act on our emotions."

Rishi Durvasa knows what and why Shukaracharya is doing this and to be honest if he was in the position of Shukracharya, Deva and others have long since been wiped out from the world.

Shukaracharya can also do it if he wants but he wants to keep the balance of the world and not do it. He was showing enough emotional intelligence and a mature attitude.

Only when it comes to the god of Preservation, He loses his calm, He considers him as an adversary, The one he wanted to kill if not least capture him.

He also knows that Shukracharya was faced with too much injustice from the others. His well-deserved position as the Guru of Deva was taken from him because of nepotism.

So Durvasa as a man and the member who worship the same deity as him understand him but as Guru he will never allow I to have a hidden motive behind teaching someone.

That might also be the reason why Shukracharya's students betray him as the motive behind the knowledge bestowing was not pure and hence that hate and lust for revenge also passed on to them.

They being Asura might not even not have anything to do with their betrayal, It was all on Shukracharya that this was happening over and over again.

"Yeah, Asura Guru Shukracharya, The knowledge given through the blinds of hate only brings destruction and not liberties the students but rather it will corrupt them further under the bribe of your hate."

Lord Surya also spoke up, He saw that somehow the situation was being in control, To be honest before he had a thought for a split second to pick up Larna and run away from here as he really did not want any one of them to teach Karna.

Yeah Rishi Durvasa is a knowledgeable and respected revered sage but his temper always gets the best of him, Which will only spell out trouble for Karna.

As for Asura Guru Shukracharya is the best choice after Lord Shiva himself to be Guru of Karna but as said the personal bias of his is not good for Karna or anyone hence even he in his eyes is not suitable to teach Karna.

Or he thought so before but now he thinks they both can be his son's Guru, Because he saw the rare sight of Rishi Durvasa being calm and think not just going and reacting to his emotions.

And even Guru Shukaracharya knowing what he was doing was wrong not doing his best to poach the Karna from Rishi Durvasa.

"How about we ask him what he wanted to do when he wake up?"

Asura Guru Shukracharya halted his action for a second and thought of the words of Rishi Durvasa, Though he not agree one bit with Rishi Durvasa but seeing him being more reasonable than him did the trick and he called a truce.
