Chapter 805 Acquaintances and Decisions

Is it someone I know? A Hindu deity...?

She certainly knew quite a few Indian gods and heroes, but she didn't know which one was visiting this time.

However, just as she was guessing the other person's identity, a loud and powerful footstep suddenly came from ahead.

"—You've finally arrived!"

Approaching them was a grown man, and after seeing his face clearly, Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly surprised, not because of his outstanding appearance, but because of his clothing—

Suits, shirts, leather shoes, necklaces, earrings... the other person's attire made him seem like someone from the outside world, or more precisely, a playboy from a modern city, just like Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others.

What puzzled Fujimaru Ritsuka even more was that, although the other party exuded an extraordinary presence and pressure, compared to the aura possessed by a god, the other party clearly felt more like a human.

As soon as the other party approached, Fujimaru Ritsuka smelled a strong odor of alcohol. He angrily complained to the White Demon:

"I'm telling you, I'm a guest, and you didn't even arrange for a waitress to accompany me, leaving me to drink alone in silence. Aren't you being a bit too stingy?!"

"It's already a favor that you're given drinks. If you want hostesses, go find them outside!"

White Demon retorted irritably, then sighed and turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying:
"Well, this is the guy you're looking for. Don't let his current useless appearance fool you, he does have some real skills."

"Even if I've only just been born as a human, does that mean I'm a piece of trash?"

The man protested in dissatisfaction, but seeing that the White Demon did not respond, he felt awkward and turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile:

"We've finally met, Fujimaru Ritsuka. I just didn't expect you to accomplish such a feat so soon after arriving in Hakoniwa—"

"【Absolute Evil】, an enemy that even the gods were helpless against, was actually defeated just like that."

His tone was somewhat wistful, and the familiarity he revealed about her also piqued her curiosity.

However, combining all the information from before, she seemed to have guessed who the other person was, and thus confirmed:

Are you Uncle Indra?

"Uncle Indra?... Haha, that's quite a novel title!"

The man laughed and nodded in agreement, then continued:
"However, since I have descended from heaven to become human, please do not call me by that name anymore. For now, please call me Indra."

Indra, the god of war, is the principal deity of the Hindu pantheon. Thirty percent of the content of the oldest sacred text in India, the Rigveda, praises him. He has many titles such as god of war, king of gods, thunder god, and hero god. Later, he was absorbed into Buddhism and is known as the god of gods or Indra.

Without a doubt, the other party is one of the most powerful and ancient gods in the Hindu pantheon and even among all the gods in the heavens. He is also the leader of the Twelve Guardian Gods of the War Gods and one of the true rulers of the Little Garden!

However, for her, what she knew more about Indra was his identity as Arjuna's father, and that he was a delinquent servant who idled around Chaldea every day, doing nothing of substance, because of his status.

In addition, the Indra before her had a slightly different personality from the Indra she knew.

Just then, Indra seemed to sense her thoughts and explained with a smile:
“I know there is also an Indra in Chaldea. I am indeed the same being as him, but we are not the same person. Do you understand what I mean?”

"I understand."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, after all, the other party's explanation was exactly the same as what Sun Wukong's senior sister had said.

However, the White Yaksha, who was standing to the side, clicked his tongue in amazement after hearing the conversation between the two:
"Is Indra from your side also a servant in Chaldea? I'm getting more and more curious about the situation in Chaldea."

"If you'd like, I can take you to visit Chaldea."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled upon hearing this:

"And it's not just Uncle Indra; there are many other Indian followers as well. Rama, Arjuna, Karna, Parvati, Kama, Kali, Vritra..."

"Wait a moment!"

Upon hearing the name Fiddita, Indra's expression instantly froze, and even the white yaksha beside him felt a chill run down his spine, unable to help but ask:

"What kind of organization is Chaldea anyway? Don't some of them ever fight when they meet?" "Yeah, shouldn't we just get rid of guys like Frodo completely?!"

"Well……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek and chuckled sheepishly:

"To save humanity, we must gather all available resources. And although they occasionally clash, it's actually not too bad..."

Are you really okay?
Would someone like Felix really be willing to save humanity, instead of the other way around?
The question arose in White Demon's mind, and thinking of it, she couldn't help but pat Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder and say:
"You've really had a tough time."

To this, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only respond with a helpless smile.

Back to the point.

Considering the topics the two were about to discuss, White Demon led them to the reception room and then left, leaving them a private space for their conversation.

"Although I am somewhat concerned about your battle with [Absolute Evil], let's get down to business first."

Indra sat down cross-legged, the flippant expression on his face vanishing instantly, and he spoke in a serious tone:

"Actually, I've already gotten the general information from White Demon, but I still need to confirm it myself—"

Do you understand that you will be fighting against countless gods?

Indeed, the higher gods are currently embroiled in a bitter dispute over the problems facing the Little Garden, but on the most fundamental question of origin, the vast majority of deities share a unified stance—

The world must have been created by gods, and humanity must be ruled by gods, not the other way around.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka proposed a third possibility—that the gods would part ways with humans and the Little Garden would be separated from the outside world—not all gods would accept such an ending.

This is akin to asking a superior to voluntarily relinquish their existing wealth, status, and power. Clearly, not every deity can be so magnanimous. In this respect, most deities are no different from humans.

In addition-

His attitude suddenly softened, and he said in a gentle tone:

“Ritsuka, you defeated the ‘Absolute Evil’ that the gods were powerless against. I believe that the gods and everyone in the Little Garden will remember your achievement.”

"That might be enough."

"You don't belong to this world, and you don't need to bear such a heavy responsibility. You're just an ordinary person, do you understand?"

"I'm just an ordinary person..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka repeated the words in a low voice, then suddenly smiled.

"Thank you, it's been a long time since I've heard anyone say that about me."

"Of course I know I'm just an ordinary person, and not even from this world. But—"

She looked at Indra and said in a gentle yet firm tone:

“I can’t pretend I never saw these problems and ignore them.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka's resolute tone plunged Indra into a brief silence. After a long while, he suddenly smiled helplessly and sighed:
"Although I expected this, I still can't convince you."

"Ok."

He instantly adjusted his demeanor, as if the previous conversation had never existed, placed his hands on his knees, and smiled:

"In that case, I'll tell you—"
