Chapter 177 175. Power Of Choas
"Quite big and powerful army, Why do they stand like that? Should I destroy it or just create protection around Hastinapur?"
Karna appeared on the border of Hastinapur and saw the big mighty battalion filled with unyielding warriors standing firmly on it but facing the opposite side of the entrance of the kingdom.
This made him confused as to why nig only this army was not marching forward here but standing facing to the other side of the border not caring about the retaliation that will definitely come from Hastinapur.
So Karna thought of two possibilities, Either the other party is too confident in their power that they don't care about the counter attack from Hastinapur or they know Hastinapur would not attack them.
First one is too foolish for Karna to even think it would happen, He only took it into consideration because it's a common thinking process. After all, a big army like this knows the power of Hastinapur.
Only the ignorant would take lightly of Hastinapur, Others enlighten one not have the guts to be this arrogant as according to Dharma ignorance can be forgiven but not arrogance.
So the 2nd option is most likely that indicate that Hastinapur either are in a friendly team with this army or there is someone stronger than Hastinapur's power standing behind these army.
Either the case Karna can't attack them because if they were friends who come here for help it would be seen as betrayal and if they have strong background, he can not know which is it in the time period he left, He is just going to piss off that unknown power.
Hence why he decided to use his eyes of chaos to create powerful arrays around Hastinapur, Yeah he didn't learn or know any array at all but thankfully his eyes of chaos has some for offence and defence.
So he can just use that, seeing it was provided with eyes. Those arrays would not be that worse, It is at least able to grant an extra layer of protection.
"O'Hear me the power that slumber within me, The power of dark from the time when time itself was not existed, O'the great power of Chaos, the force that dances on the edges of creation, Grant me your feral might, the tempestuous power that defies order and transcends reason.
And help with creation of the shield that creates me and my people within it, Create the swept that slashes in half any threat that arises against us, Grant me your helping hand for creating the asylum for the residents of this land."
Karna opened his arms as he spoke with respect and pride awakening the power within him, The power of chaos that he just received yesterday, He was calling it out that power for his aid.n(-o/-v(.E))l).B/-1-.n
He wanted that power itself to come and help him in creation of the child around Hastinapur that would grant them protection as he sensed a large army retreating away from Hastinapur.
That confirmed one of his hypotheses that this force here are friendly group but he misunderstood thinking these groups made those large armies retreat.
So to give extra protection to people living in Hastinapur he asked help from Chaos. He really didn't want to put innocent citizens of the kingdom in harm's way because of him.
He didn't need to say this thing, Only a thought of using the power of Eye of Chaos would have been enough, but because he was using it for the first time, He wanted to give due respect to that primordial force.
*Rumble*
Just as his words felt the whole reality around him shook, Karna felt tingling sensation in his eyes giving him the urge to rub them furiously but he didn't do it as he served the power that concentrated in his eyes.
"So be it, I will give you a helping hand creating an asylum for the people of your land but only because you asked nicely."
In the deep land that exists outside the creation a being has an excited smile hearing the voice calling it out for help, For the first time in eternity someone called it's name and prayed to come for help.
That was enough for this being it says the power to become happy, Chaos stretched it's slender hand covered in the dark robe releasing power to fulfil the wish of its first seeker.
Invisible to Karna, there were lots of space rifts opened up around him other than just slashing everything, riding everything apart like most of the rifts do. This one was quite tame rather too tame even not showing the spatial storms.
They clearly were afraid, even if we're just power of space it were afraid of the being that were administering them. They under no condition were ready to let even a tiny bit of harm befall on Karna.
After the first opening up, The power released from Chaos entered the world and just as it entered it wanted to destroy the reality, The creation itself but just like how metal gets sucked towards a magnet that power the moment it appeared on the physical realm sucked into Karna's eyes which turned chaotic dark.
Unknown to this things happening around him, Karna just feel a power in his eyes and finished concentrating, So he just casually followed the instructions provided in the initial arrays and created the array using the illusion that was so real that it became reality.
This way it would be there forever and he didn't have to worry about maintenance as it's just an illusion that acts and works like the real thing, Best of both worlds.
A ground lit up in dark chaotic light void of any stability, This was only visible to Karna though fit others they just felt a ground rumble and that's it, Which also ignited by them as much happened a few moments ago.
A lots of weird patterns that are nothing like the one Sukracharya showed in battle before, The array pattern Sukracharya created were though complex. It was following the centre known as eye of array all the time.
Every array of his is based on that centre, Which is also the strongest and weakest part of the array as it is the most concentrated spot of power in it.
But here it's different. Lines were going all on their own way, Most of them even not connecting each other. It was look like a child took hold of a paint brush and just had a field day in the newly painted wall.
There was nothing similar to design an area to look like, There was not even an eye if the array in it means there is no way power will distribute in the whole part given it power to function.
Karna not known to fact what actual array supposed to look like not seeing anything wrong with it, He only thought these were weird pattern but then his language skill kicked in reveling to him that these weird things were some ancient letters.
"Th-This is a langua-Argghh!!!"
But when he tried to read it, His head started to hurt intensely. He felt like someone was trying to put a nail on his head by slamming a hammer on his head.
He quickly stopped and give up trying to read what it was saying and as he do that the pain also go away, telling Karna that this was not something he can read yet.
'Interesting...I will definitely read what it say one day.'
Normally when someone encounters something like this, They would want to stay away as this is a clear indication that this is something they should not mess with but who is Karna?
In his veins running a blood of Suryavanshi know for their might and fearlessness, When they see trouble other they running away they go head first towards it wanting to face it head-on.
Even if Karna here not have that level of battle frenzy, He still affected by the blood like nature, So he really wants to know what these words were saying, As these also trigger his curiosity.
"I will ask Gurudev when he wake up, but for now it would be enough for protection."
Karna though not wanted to but decided to leave here as an array was put in the place, yeah it was still building right now but it would build now it's own now, He don't need to stand here and waste what little time he left.
So he just teleports back to where everyone of was, In the royal garden.
.....
"So you come here with your army to just congratulated us for having such a talent?"
Dhritarashtra seating on his royal throne fix crown on his face, He was still in shock by the killing intent he felt before and the shake of ground.
Which finally stopped just a moment ago, Though still in shock and he need a moment of rest for to calm down but he can't have it.
There was a messenger of another kingdom who came with a scroll for them, He at first thought this was a decree to hand over Karna and the bow but to his surprise it was nothing but a normal congratulations letter.
'What kinda game are these treacherous people playing?'
Seeing this he rather then sigh in relief becomes even more alert smelling conspiracy in it.
(A/N : Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ????.)
