Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Here, I must borrow a line from the Ramayana—

The Buddha (Rama, an emanation of Vishnu) did what he was supposed to do.

His nobility invited the radiant Vasendo (the spring god exercised by Gavia) and Kama.

In conclusion, Kama's status in Hinduism is vastly different from the former two, and it was only in the later Buddhist concept of the sixth demon king that her status was elevated.

Although the demon king Siddhartha faced was actually Mara, the concept of the demon king was still dominated by Kama.

As if noticing the surprised gazes of the Hassans staring at the skull mask on the side of his forehead, Kama first clicked his tongue, then waved his hand at them: "I am not your venerable one, but I came to the temple at the request of the old man. I am Kama, the goddess of love in India, the mistress of the Himalayas. I was the one who gave you orders earlier, so you need not worry. I will use the old man's words to warn you: My skills, my position, and my name are temporarily entrusted to you."

Through Kama's skull mask, the Hassans could indeed sense the aura of their revered one.

The vibrant, magical feeling was undeniably real.

but.

Something subtle is not quite right.

Everything was overflowing, yet something was missing.

This caused Kyoko a strong sense of contradiction, so she asked again:

"May I ask, does the position of Venerable One still belong to you, Goddess Kama?"

"...Of course!"

Kama was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then spoke in a firm and powerful tone, but Kyonobu knew very well that this was a bluff to cover up a lie.

However, the goddess's previous words were not false; the Venerable One did indeed bestow his position upon him. Therefore, it could only have been used secretly after arriving at this singularity. What circumstances would have led him to use it? Could it have been at the shrine?

Yes, it must be that the two of them fought for some reason. Lady Novia thought it was an imposter, and this goddess used the power of the Grand rank to fight back... Wait, how did I know that the effect of the Grand rank is similar to enhancement? No, I shouldn't know, and judging from the situation, even you all don't know.

Looking at the expressions of the Hassans around her, which remained unchanged, while she herself was carefully observing this Hindu goddess of love, Kyoko felt strange. She felt that she knew a lot more than she thought, even though she shouldn't know what the role of the Grand Master was.

The fact that Kyoko felt uncomfortable stemmed from her inability to understand why this was the case, even though she had dedicated everything to her faith in the Lord…

"You're being a bit aggressive, but I'll let it slide."

Kama frowned and crossed his arms, looking extremely displeased.

Then, looking towards the valley some distance away, the infernal fire grew even stronger, and she could hardly see the distance anymore.

Under these circumstances, there were still occasional violent impacts and lion roars, flashes of white light, and signs of some enormous creature stirring—

"...What a huge lion!"

...In the end, Kama couldn't hold back any longer and said this directly in front of the Hassans, then said it to himself.

"If we summoned Durga's Himalayas, maybe it could grow to that size too? But it should be the Noble Phantasm of the attacking enemy, right?"

The Himawat mentioned by Kama is one of Durga's pets. Together with the white snake on Durga's body, it is considered a deified entity representing the Himalayas. In other words, it is one of the subordinate divine beasts of the Lord of the Himalayas.

Vishnu has the serpent king Shesha, Shiva has the divine bull Nandi, Kavia has the white tiger Himavat, and Brahma has a peacock.

"Judging from his aura, that one is the Lionheart, who entered Jerusalem with Charlemagne earlier."

Kyoshinko subconsciously explained, "Our Venerable One fought alongside the Dead Apostles when he was alive."

"I see, he's a guy I don't know at all."

What Charlemagne? What Lionheart? I've never even heard of him. He seems less impressive than Frodo, that gluttonous Asura King.

At least this guy would bring him food and bring Ganesha to visit him when he was imprisoned by Durga.

Kama thought of this.

"It's natural."

"..."

Kamoka paused, then waved his hand, "You seem to know quite a lot, huh."

"I am humbled. I merely know this, Your Majesty the Goddess of India."

As she spoke these words, Kyoko bowed respectfully without the slightest hesitation, revealing that she spoke from the bottom of her heart.

After all, Kama was recognized as the representative of Hassan, the Hassan king of Hassans, and as a fanatical prince who was not even Hassan, he would naturally take him seriously. As for his treatment, it was below that of Novia.

"But launching a direct attack like that would be foolish."

With an extremely arrogant and smug attitude, Kama decisively continued, "No matter what kind of divinity, power, spell, or concept it is... it cannot stop my Kama."

Although Kama was somewhat curious about the fact that the power Novia used this time was neither from India nor Buddhism, he wasn't too suspicious. Perhaps Kata had learned something new somewhere? That was normal; the more the merrier.

My home? Strange language.

Kyoko thought the Indian goddess Kama's words were a bit strange, but she quickly realized that things were a bit odd in India anyway, so this was normal.

Just a few seconds after the two finished their conversation, the turmoil on the other side ended, and then four beams of light flew at lightning speed toward the village from that side.

"So cool! So divine! Brother-in-law, you were amazing! Your posture was perfect, your lines were spot on, and you won! It was absolutely perfect! I'm the king, I should be the strongest, but I still lost to you, brother-in-law..."

"If you're so elated over a mere one or two battles, your future looks bleak, Charlemagne..."

Because Charlemagne's gaze was so dazzling, Novia coughed twice before speaking again, "Yes, that's right, fantastic, we won!"

"Hahaha, once I get back to my seat, I'm going to tell Richard what he's like right now, and let him know that the King of Knights is no match for you, brother-in-law!"

Charlemagne truly reflects his mood exactly as he appears. Now that he's a young knight, he acts like a lively and cheerful young man. However, when he was half-dead in the Mobile Sanctuary, appearing as the elderly Karl, he was incredibly steady and composed.

Even Percival, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but smile slightly at their conversation and behavior.

"The two of you have a very good relationship, even though you come from such different eras."

When Percival, holding the Spear of Longinus once more, spoke these words, it was more like he was praising harmony among family members.

He did know that the two lived in different eras by several hundred years, but he thought it was not the right time to ask, so he kept it to himself.

But I still couldn't resist.

"Haha, it's not that long ago, after all, my brother-in-law left me a message a long time ago."

“I see, that makes sense, after all, it's the church…”

Percival nodded slightly.

That's true. It's normal that the first Pope Novia had eyes similar to the Flower Magician; it must be some kind of divine blessing.

After all, the popes in the hall all had an Ex level of magic resistance, even though some of them were just 'nominal titles' when they were alive. Moreover, the people behind the Holy Church that I met when they were alive, although not everyone was the same, were mostly troublesome.

"I feel the same way."

Charlemagne seemed to have read this thought from Percival's expression and replied accordingly.

"It's just too big."

Novia lowered her eyes and reminisced about the past, showing a rare sign of fatigue. She shook her head gently and said, "I thought of this a long time ago, which is why I convened the Grand Council. It would be good if we could maintain this as much as possible."

"How do you say this?"

After remaining silent for quite some time, Mordred finally felt he had a chance to speak, so he quickly asked.

"If the most prestigious person does not do something while he is alive, then the people who follow him will have no way to make any reforms. That's right. It was because His Excellency Novia convened the first Grand Council when he was Pope that he was honored by posterity. No matter what kind of pope he is, he must go through this procedure before carrying out any major event."

Percival began to explain to Mordred.

"That's about right. After all, who in the future will have a reputation that surpasses mine and that of Jesus' teacher?"

Novia paused for a moment, "However, this move has both advantages and disadvantages. After all, those who take more money occupy the majority of seats. It can only be said that this procedure can only be maintained, and we cannot hope that it can be a permanent solution."

"Oh, that's good, brother-in-law. No one can do something once and for all. That's too idealistic."

"Oh."

Mordred nodded thoughtfully, though that was only an appearance; he actually didn't understand at all.

Like Gareth, she belatedly realized that her mother used to grumble about how the Holy Sword could be like that. Her father's Holy Sword was quite handsome and there was nothing wrong with it. Although she didn't really understand, it seemed to be one of the sources of her mother's resentment towards the Flower Magician.

"cough."

As the four were chatting animatedly, Kama, with his eyes closed, coughed with an air of utter arrogance.

"Oh, is this... a goddess?"

Charlemagne said curiously, "I never expected to see a goddess in the Jerusalem area. It's really rare. I didn't see her when Richard and I were together before. Could she be from the Middle East?"

In response, Kyoko explained appropriately: "She is not a goddess from the Middle East. This is Lord Kama, the god of love from India, Lord Charlemagne."

"Novia, Gavia... this guy is talking about your brother-in-law, right? Then who is his sister?"

Kama ignored Charlemagne and instead blinked at Novia, puzzled.

"Is it Durga or Moses? Or perhaps..."

The little Cupid held its breath for a moment, its thoughts swirling in and out.

Wait a minute, no matter how you calculate the time, Gavia shouldn't have had time to find the goddesses other than the three of us, right? It can't be that after the Age of Gods ended, we returned to the inner world... But that doesn't make sense either, how could the surface of a planet where the Age of Gods ended possibly accommodate Gavia's power?

Kama's words make sense. After all, if Kali, who appeared as a Servant, were to activate her Noble Phantasm, she could shatter half of the Earth. It can only be said that the Earth in the Age of Gods was much harder than the Earth in later times, allowing such a powerful being capable of shattering stars to roam freely on it.

After all, if Kali is considered one, then the gods of the universe, the Celestial Emperor, Oroden, the American Sun, and so on cannot be left out. And these are just the gods in famous mythologies. Even the Lousi of Finnish mythology can create singularities with magic, and has the power to rewrite the spiritual veins on a large scale, causing the Earth's axis to shift rapidly...

Speaking of which, Finnish mythology, like Norse mythology, is influenced by Christianity. The two-week-old virgin son who was questioned about the sins of Vannemonen, the central figure of Finnish mythology, and who was killed by singing, is the last king of Finland. Such an image is naturally based on Jesus... This is also one of the examples of picking peaches at the end of a story, which is unique to the church.

Therefore, Kama boldly guessed that it must have happened during the so-called Chaldea period, and it must have been that orange-haired girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka.

When she was secretly observing in the labyrinthine palace that blended the inner palace and London, she noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka was always asking her questions. As the goddess of love, she had long since noticed his feelings, but at the time she didn't know that he was her lover.

Kama thought about it more and more and felt that Charlemagne's face was very similar to Fujimaru Ritsuka's; people would definitely believe they were siblings...

By the way, speaking of which, Fujimaru Ritsuka isn't with Gavia right now, is she? As a Chaldea Master, that shouldn't be the case...

"My sister?"

Charlemagne flashed a confident and cheerful smile.

"Of course, it's Attila, who's been my brother-in-law's childhood sweetheart for life!"

A fairly straightforward answer.

However, Kama could not comprehend the meaning of these words and could only unconsciously show a blank expression.

"……what?"

Durga is considered the mother of India, so it is only natural that she spread to other continents and evolved into a new goddess.

Moses is the undisputed representative of beauty, and the majority of people hold him as their faith.

Kama is an incomparably powerful god of love, so it's not unreasonable for him to privately acknowledge her as his older sister.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Charlemagne are so similar that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are half-siblings.

But what the heck is Attila, my childhood friend? Wait a minute... According to the information from Humanity and Chaldea, this guy is the so-called Scourge of God. God? The guys over there were also called Novia, the first Pope of Gavia, who spread other religions on the Western European continent, which is different from India.

And what about the battles triggered by Avia that led to the downfall of the Gupta Dynasty in India? He was called the source of destruction for all worlds, the god of death who came to destroy this world, the destroyer of all worlds? Does this mean that Avia no longer wanted India? And instead turned to some monotheistic religion?

No, you can't do this! If you don't want India, you can have Buddha, but Gavia, your disciple Siddhartha will cry if you do this!

Damn it, it must be that damned god who deceived Gavia... No, I have to get Durga to bring some men and teach this guy a lesson. Not just anyone can cheat and swindle us in India! That guy Gavia just mentioned, who might be her mother, is definitely connected to this guy...

Oh right, I was calling Siddhartha. It seems he's enlightened and left, no longer concerned with things here? Never mind, I don't believe he'd really just abandon everything. I'm the complete Mara now... Never mind, I feel like that annoying black-haired brat Kichijoin will do something weird if things continue like this.

"Um……"

Looking at Kama, who was gritting her teeth beside Novia with undisguised resentment, as if no one else was around, Charlemagne stroked his chin and then said thoughtfully, "Although her personality is completely different from her sister's, it is quite similar, Goddess Kama."

Although Charlemagne now knows who the goddess Kama should love, at the time he didn't care about Novia's many identities. As long as she was his brother-in-law, the brother-in-law who accompanied his sister, or the handsome man who had been watching over him and wishing him well at the foot of the Alps, that was enough.

"You little rascal—"

“Happiness, yes, Goddess Kama, your heart must feel like you’ve discovered a shining star in your chest.”

Before Kama could finish speaking, Charlemagne interrupted him.

"Nonsense! How could I possibly have such emotions? Absolutely impossible! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you..."

Kama himself had said something similar during the five days he spent at the shrine, but it was probably because he was too excited and shouted it unconsciously. This is normal; when having deep conversations, one's mind will be more or less blank.

However, Charlemagne's words just now carried a sense of disbelief and unease that Kama found hard to accept at that moment; perhaps it should be said that she was completely unaware of her own expression.

"Is it not?"

Charlemagne's question stunned Kama.

If it were only Gamo, Charlemagne, and Hassan here, Gamo could confidently say that it wasn't like that. But now that Gavia is here, how could she possibly say it? However, she was unwilling to admit it so easily, so the little goddess of love lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her flushed face.

Novia tilted his head in silence, then smiled, ignoring the terrifying force with which Kama was gripping his hand, and nodded.
