Chapter 172 170. Grief

*Boom*

All those three powers has collided as Karna, their center creating a huge shockwave throwing back the goodness that comes to the aid of their son.

Ganesha was ready and took action to prevent the destructive force from spreading but his filled with confusion, He didn't know anything like this was even possible at all.

He his power to put the goddesses respectfully to a safe place as he locked his eyes on the center of the impact covered in dust making others not able to see past it because of its divine origin but it was not a problem for him.

And because of that he felt confused by the what was happening under it.

"Oh no...I have to call Ashwini Kurmars here."

Surya seeing the blast was quick to act on it and was about to send the message to his twin sons, the healer of gods, The one who said to can cure anything in this world.

He just hoped it would be enough. He was not worried about the Karna's status right now, even when he was hit by those two powers he was confident enough that the armor of his will protect his son.

Surya was worried about the fatal injuries, the one that is inevitable in a situation like this one, So he needed his son ready here to treat Karna as soon as possible to avoid any complication in the future growth of Karna.

'I should have gone, I was fast enough to prevent him from getting hit.'

Surya fell into guilt as he saw the dust cloud in the horizon. Indeed he is faster than anyone present here. If he released his divine form and flew towards Karna, he would definitely be able to prevent him from getting hit.

But he didn't, He wanted to but he just can't able to do it, Because once he released his divine form here, Everything in the sight will burn to ashes, No one other than his lord and his first wife can handle his extreme heat.i

He as the king of all planets can't risk their livelihood at all, so he knowing what would happen to his son if didn't take action he let it happen. He felt helpless as a father.

Even having the power to protect him, he isn't able to do it. This news hit him like a dagger in his heart. One side was his duty, while the other side of his own flesh and blood, His beloved son.

And yet he made a choice, The choice that will harm that said flesh and blood but he is always like that, He burns himself to provide the light and warmth to the world.

Same thing was adopted by the original Karna, Which became his downfall.

"Shri Ashwini Kumaras? Sorry to inform you Brahman dev they are not something anyone can just summon, And they also no omnipotent, They can heal any injury but seeing the impact, That boy would have turned into ash- *Choke**

"One more word and I will forget your identity and how much respect I have for you, So I suggest you to keep your mouth shut."

Narada gearing the Surya wanted to call Ashwini Kumara for help could not help but sneer at his wishful thinking, after even he could not stand any chance against any one of that power not to mention get hit by two of such opposing powers.

So he is gleefully happy thinking that boy is dead without he needing to lift any finger, though he didn't know how that kid got there but he didn't care. Not the biggest threat to task of his lord is finished once for all.

Now there is no need to worry about the unexpected, The terrible power he felt before also can't do anything to him. He thinking this is a Niyati was quite happy.

He made his way towards the Surya and as always wanted to say in his famous antics but before he could finish his words, He felt the powerful claw clenching his throat.

He tried to break free; it was all futile. Even taking a breath is not possible by the mere force that grasp is exerting.

He in horror looked front of him, All he saw was the bloodlust red eyes looked on his as if directly staring at his soul, He did not dare to take a gamble, He though not feel the threat of death like before but he didn't dare to argue with man front of him.

Surya, seeing Narada not pulling any more stands, slowly let go of him and hurried towards Karna after failing to send a message to Ashwini Kumar because of the turbulence of the forces here.

He has to carry Karna towards Ashwini Kumars adobe now, there was no second to waste here.

He feel bad for doing this to someone so revered as Narada but the moment he heard what Narada was about to say he could not help it, His fatherly instinct took over, and the grief and guilt turned into rage.

It's good that Narada not provoked him further because be really has no idea how he would handle it if Narada didn't yield.

"Who is he?"

Narada said as he looked at the fleeting back of Surya, The power in that grasp is not normal, He senses that he will severely be harmed by the mere force of this man.

That alone massively trimmed down the possibility of who this man could be but even then he was not sure the identity of this Brahmana, But he will not give up this early.

"How are you staying here alone and going there? Are you not afraid Mahamhim Bhishma will take the chance to get rid of you?"

Narada after relaxing turned around and said to Kaliya who unlike others didn't move, standing there in one place like a statue.

"I gave word to mother Dev Rishi Narada, I will not harm this serpent here."

Bhishma also worried about Karna but purely because of the fear that his oath would break, Other than that he was not worried about him, Rather he considered Karna the reason for the sudden change in the treatment of him from Gandhari and Kuravas.

He just stands there as to be prepared for a sneak attack trying to take advantage of turbulent wastes, So he is not in the mood to fight with Kaliya.

As his mother said, as long as Kaliya in the grounds of Hastinapur, She is sheltering him, So he will deal with Kaliya later when he leave from here.

"Huh!? Hey Kaliya I asked something, Are you listening?"

But Narada being mischievous can't stay still without causing trouble, He just wanted to do the same but got annoyed by Kaliya not responding to him, He can handle the insult he got from the unknown but definitely respected man. He as a sage does not have that low of ego.n(/o(-v.-e-.l)-b(.1/-n

It's just he can not take insults from anyone, Especially not the Nagas, So he stood in front of Kaliya wanting to ask questions but after seeing face of his Narada unconsciously took a step back.

Kaliya right now has the terror written all over his face, His face was white as if all the blood drained from his body, His eyes staring at the dust as if he was saw or something in that dust that he shouldn't have.

*Thud*

Kaliya then to the surprise of both Narada and Bhishma dropped to his knees without any warning, There was horror mixed with respect written all over his face as he bowed towards the dust.

No words were spoken afterwards, He just sat there like that looking into the dust, Both Narada and Bhishma shared the look seeing both of them were surprised by the other of this act.

But this time there was no further question asked, They just looked towards the dust waiting to see what made Kaliya act like this.

....

"Arya, He...He"

"He is fine, We can take him to Ashwini Kumar, He will be healed in no time."

When Surya reached where his wives were, both of them swarmed towards him desperate for hope. They were terrified after seeing their youngest got hit by those powers.

As goddesses, they know there is no way a mortal can survive that blast, not only mortals, even divine beings will be turned into dust after they are hit by those energies.

Thankfully the words of their husband give them some hope, If their husband said Karna will be time then he will be, They have trust in their husband.

"Don't give them false hope, I...can't sense his presence, I feel no presence of...life in there."

Ganga, hearing the words of Surya nearly laughed out in immense grief, She searched and searched desperately with her divine aura even when it hurted her spirit by the residual energy here. She tried her best but she could not find any sign of life in there.

That only means one thing, Karna is...dead, And thinking how terrible those powers were, It is also the highest possibility.

"We lost him."

Ganga, like her soul, reap away from her, hung her head down and replied with a hoarse voice filled with pain and grief. She was unwilling to admit it but this is the reality.

"No, it can't be. It is not possible."

Sandhya and Chhaya are also overcome by grief as they also could not accept such reality, How can that be? They have yet to tell him they are also his mothers.

"Huh?! Who did you guys lose? Is this why Gurudev and these sages were fighting?"

Lord Surya wanted to finally say about the magical power of his armor given to Karna but before he could say he heard a voice come from behind him.
