Chapter 8: Chapter No.8 Upgrading Boon And Rewards
"I am talking about charioteer Adhiratha and his wife. They are my devotees, They are always yearning for a child. If you leave him in their care he will receive a very loving family."
Suryadev Spoke and suggested his reason. Both Indra and Ganga fell into thoughts about the next step and because of that they did not notice the infinite love and just the same amount of self-blame in the eyes of Surya when he was looking at the child in the arms of Ganga, Trying to get a one glimpse of him through the cover was like a whole lot difficult for him because of Ganga's power shielding the child, But not for the person inside.
"So he is my father, Indeed very beautiful, His handsomeness can only be described as beautiful as...Well like a Sun."
Karna needed little time to digest the information completely, So he looked at the figure or to say his father through the cover. He felt his gaze trying to see him and also felt helplessness and some eagerness to see him, I guess.
He as a father can't take care of his child to save him from the backlash of the curse and its effect, He can't even announce him as his son until his child knows that he is his father himself.
'Wait! What are they talking about? Aren't I already supposed to go there? What are they talking so long about this topic all this time?"
Karna was finally able to understand what people around him were talking about. This situation is like he wanted to sleep and someone provided him with a pillow.
But what he heard surprised him, Wondering what they were talking about he even got boon out of nowhere, And now here is this change of plot.
"But where are they?"
After some time Ganga breaks the silence and asks, She will never agree if they live far from her shore.
"Don't worry Devi (Goddess), They live in Hastinapur kingdom and work as charioteers for Mahamahim (Excellency) Bhishma himself. So you don't have to worry about him."
Suryadev said as he saw her worry, He was glad that someone was there to take care of his son. Then he spoke his last words as to convince Devi Ganga more but his real intention was to deter Indra from thinking about doing anything to his son.
"Okay then Suryadev, I will accept your suggestion on one condition that my child will also gain by name like 'Gangaputra' if he wants of course."
Ganga eagerly accepted the offer but with the condition, Because even though she knows people insults low born and her son will become Suta Putra then, This Condition can help him in the future very much. And also accepted the offer of Suryadev as with this not only she can be close to both of her sons but also Bhishma can protect him in her absence.
Indra has no objection. He was more than happy about this decision after all his adopted parents are charioteers, So that child can never be able to learn divine weapons eliminating hidden danger for him. He was so happy about it that he didn't hear the second part Ganga which was her condition which Suryadev accepted now full about it.
Indra did not think that a child can be great, He just felt better safe than sorry.
So everything was decided, Surya gave the location of Adhiratha and his wife to Ganga. Then she decided to head in that direction but Suryadev stopped her.
"Devi (Goddess) you never told the child's name, Can you tell us his name?"
Suryadev stopped leaving Ganga and asked about the child's name. He can't wait to know the name of his son. So he hurriedly asked her before she left.
"Name? Mmmm... Yeah, That name is very suitable for my son."
She just realized she had not yet given the name to her son. She felt a little ashamed but quickly thought of names for her son but those names were not suitable as they all felt unworthy of his supreme beauty. (Because of Starchild Bloodline)
She thought about it but she still wasn't able to come up with a suitable name for her son then her eyes caught the sight of Kundals (Earrings) he was wearing on his ears.
"Karna, My child's name is Karna."
She said, Announcing to the whole world the name of tomorrow's legendary warrior.
Just as she announced the name celestials shower them in celestial flowers. Suryadev had a wide smile on his face as his name also represents him, Indra was more neutral he doesn't care much about the names of the mortals much less the low-born in front of him.
So after hearing the name, He goes back to his heavenly abode to prepare something and runs to Mount Kailash for protection from Mahadev/Lord Shiva. Leaving Surya and Ganga alone with Karna.
On the shore only two figures were standing, One was hesitating to ask something while the other patiently waiting for the other party to finish.
"Th-That Devi (Goddess) Ganga can you let me take a look at Karna?"
Finally, After much deliberation, Suryadev spoke.
As he was saying these words, He raised his hand and sealed off the space around them to prevent anyone from spying on them.
"pfft-Hahaha Suryadev, You did this much deliberation, Just to ask such a silly question? I thought you wanted to tell some depressing news."
Ganga snickered haring Surya's question, When she saw him hesitating and disclosing the space she thought something bad had happened but she never imagined that Surya did all this just to take a look at her son Karna.
Karna was staring at his system inventory, But even in inventory, He was staring at the specific words.
[2 Black Gold UT and 1 Platinum UT]
He is thinking about using one on the reward he gained after drinking the milk of Goddess Ganga and Indra's Boon, Which were:

[Description: This ability allows the host to communicate with people, creatures, And objects in the world around them without the need for a physical message, such as speech or writing. The Voice of All Things should not be mistaken for the ability to simply understand animal communication.

" Wow!!! War God's Constitution sounds Power and its rank is the same as my Star Child Bloodline And Voice Of All Things sounds familiar Super Water Affinity is cool too, but My Comprehension Speed and Control over water are just lower than Mother Ganga Hahahaha* Cough**Cough* Did anyone see me? Hopefully not"
Karna was dancing in his mind while seeing the upgrades while smiling on the outside.
{At the same time Karna started Upgrading}
"Suryadev I am not going to get angry at you just because you asked to take a look, I am more than happy to show him to the world, Only reason I am angry at Indra is because he insulted Karna."
Ganga said this as she thought he misunderstood her but she didn't directly show Karna to him but she like Surya, Also raised her hand to strengthen the space seal around them.
She didn't want Indra to find out Karna's secret.
"But you have to promise me, Suryadev that you will not be going to tell anyone about what you are going to see next."
Ganga looked left and right, Up and down to make sure no one was paying attention to them, And used divine power to communicate with him.
The secret of Karna is too important to know by other gods.
If not for the fact that she needed him to watch over him in her absence, She would have never revealed Karna's Secret to him, Even when she knew he would never harm her child.
