[Shambha] silently watched [Diti], not replying, but simply watching as the mother finished speaking.
It wasn't until [Diti]'s throat became somewhat dry that she finally turned to look at her child.
[Shambha] revealed a faint smile.
"Mother!"
"Being King of Asura is not important!"
[Shambha] tilted her head and said.
"???"
[Diti], holding her head, looked at the child with incomprehension.
Had this child's austere asceticism muddled her mind to say such a thing? If being King of Asura is not important, then what is?
"My intuition tells me that the blessing I desire is very good!"
"It's very nice!"
"I am on the correct path!"
[Shambha] said.
...
Above the ground,
Indra's gaze flickered, the Thousand-Eye Power shimmering with brilliance, observing [Shambha] in the Mortal Realm.
This fellow...
At this moment, [Shambha], as if sensing something, looked up towards the sky, gazing at the profound heavens.
Four eyes met!
"This is somewhat interesting!"
Indra said.
