Chapter 162 160. Not Snake But Sperpant
'Ho-How is that even possible? I am immortal, I can't die. So I am getting death premonition? This does not make sense at all.'
Narada took step back in utter primal fear that in each being inherently has, Death, the fear of dying took over his action.
But on top of that the fear of the unknown occupied his mind, He is a big devotee of Lord Vishnu because of which he got the protection from death, He can't doe as the sage of gods.
And yet here he sensing that he will die if he dare to approach the this child, How can that be possible? He never felt this in front of any Asura he met and faced before.
Even someone like Ravana who captured Lord Shani the mighty god whom all gods are terrified of did not make him feel this neither did the Meghnath the son of Ravana and one who defeated Indra getting the title of Indrajit (The one who conquered Indra) gave him this feeling.
Only Jalandhar came close to gave him terror but that can be ignored as he was pretty much part of the Yog power of Lord Shiva, so how can this normal Suta boy give him terror that those people are not able to give him?
'No, this child is too terrifying to let it be, I can't allow him to grow up, He will be too hard to deal with, He has to die.'
Narada after he came out of his senses looked at sleeping Karna and made up his mind, Yeah killing a child is a sin that can't be washed away but he did not have any option.
The feeling he just felt told him, If Karna allow to grow up then he will be completely unstoppable. No one in the mortal realm is able to stop him, Which considering what his lord planned was not for them, So Karna has to die.
And he also did not have to dirty his hands, He will not be the one who is going to kill the child, He just has to provoke someone enough to do it for him.
'But who? Who would not mind killing a child?'
Narada started to think of the people who do not hesitate to kill a child, Which seems not that big of a deal considering that here is rule of survival of the fittest but it is.
Even Asura or Raksha known for their cruelty will not kill an innocent child, That is the iron rule followed. They have to be creative if they really want a child to die but they can't kill it on their own.
That is why Narada is not sure who can kill Karna. After all humans have more reason not to kill human children then Asura but then his eyes fall on Bhishma, The in a instant there was a sly smile appeared on his face.
'How can I forget? There is the righteous Devavrata Ganaputra Bhsihma here, The one who can do anything if that means his family will be "protected", Even killing the just born infant is not out of the question.
Of course he can do it for me.'
Narada thought about it, Bhishma is someone with a very righteous personality, It's just that righteousness only comes out when it was about him or related to his family.
That law is only for them, He can use whatever he wants against others, Like stealing a bride, killing the whole family leaving only one son behind just for a bride, Or fighting his own Guru the thing said to be equal to insulting the Guru just to keep his vow of not to marry to a woman he just kidnapped on basis of marriage.
Show that his feelings are in the right place but the way he chose to fulfil them are not so righteous at all, But he is not willing to see it his fault and what is make him most dangerous.
After all he has a might that makes him akin to god amongst man, With the ego issue that whatever he does is not wrong but he is doing it for greater good, Of course people will be terrified of him.
And that is what makes Bhishma the easiest target to manipulate. Just play along with his ego and he will dance like a puppet.
'Just turn Bhishma against this child by tagging him the enemy to his family. Then everything will be done by him.'
Narada thought of it, Bhishma is strong enough with the boon of wishful death, As long as he not wish to die he can't die, means he can ignore whatever power that protects Karna and just finish the job.
And it would do good if he provokes that power protecting Karna and that power also end up killing Bhishma or at least weakening him a lot. That way they are not gonna have to spend a lot of time into killing him later on.
That was the plan of Narada, The lord of mischief, So it was foolproof, at least in his mind and so he decided to act on it.
"Who do you think would win? Maharathi Bhishma? Narayan Narayan~"
He not dare to approach Karna anymore and made his way through to reach Bhishma and asked him casually.
"I don't know Narada Muni, Both are too strong, It can turn either way, Just look, Rishi Durvasa broke the unbreakable chain and other would not be long before also broke up.
And same with Asura Guru Sukracharya, He summoned something from the Netherworld and not only that he keeping it here and even reinforcing it, Both are the feats beyond normal imagination and they both did it casually."
Bhishma, seeing it was Narada muni, made a way for him to stand beside him and answered truthfully, that is what he really thinks about it.
He looking at the fight and thinking about what he could have done in that situation but he did not find much success. He knew at best he could use the Astra of his Ancestors that put anyone to sleep but he was not sure it would work on the Sukracharya.
After all, Sukracharya is a master of illusions and arrays, Who knows how much protection he has underneath his weak stature, and knowing how well-known fact he had that astra is, It would not be strange to think that Sukracharya already has countermeasures against it.
"Ohh, I thought the great Mahamhim Bhishma would tell me that there is way to win here but I respect your answer. After all, someone like you who is truthful in speech and loving towards his family would not lie.
It's just your senses are becoming weak, Rishi Durvasa will win this fight soon, You are able to see this obvious fact just like you can't see the snake you are keeping in your house.
I guess even Maharathi rank warriors could not escape from the old ages, Narayan Narayan~"
Narada answered in his well-known condescending tone to Bhishma, but there was a sly smile on his lips that never went away as the mischief filled in his eyes.
He first on purpose praised Bhishma just to shoot him down making whatever he said have a big impact on Bhishma. As no one likes to disappoint anyone, That is a natural instinct especially if the person first praises you.
That is more valid when that someone is like Narada the revered and respected figure, and hence why this trick always works.
"What do you mean, Rishi Narada?"
Bhishma was guessed to have fallen in a trap, he did not understand what the words of Narada meant. What snake he keeping in his house?
Of course, he knows it was not about the actual snake, After all, he is not stupid enough to keep the snake in the house and not even know it, He is not that dumb.
"Heh~ What I saying is th-"
"Hey, why are they two even fighting about? Why waste this much time just divine into equal parts of whatever they fighting for, Hiss~"
Narada, seeing that Bhishma was intrigued by his words, wanted to add a few words to fill his curiosity before making him lead on the path he wanted him to walk on.
But as he was about to say those words, the.w words of the man he had not paid attention to before cutting him off, He looked at that man who dared to cut him off mid-sentence just to see a very normal ordinary-looking man.
It's just when he paid actual attention to him, His eyes open wide in shock, not believing why this monster came out of his hiding and walking like around like he didn't just have a dead substance hanging over his head.
"Huh?! 2hy are you looking at me like that? I am nothing but a normal man, Don't misunderstand me, You have the wrong person."
Kaliya realised after saying what he just did, This is Narada, The devotee of Lord Vishnu, the Same Lord Vishnu who have mound named Garuda, the one who is after his life.
If Narada know who is he and he is here, then it would not have taken long before Garuda come here and kill him as he vowed to do long ago.
"Yeah snake, Rishi Narada you are, we don't have a snake but we do have a serpent."
Bhishma also turned towards the speaker and then had a light bulb moment, After which he moved toward Kaliya.
