To Mount Kailash. To Brahmaloka\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None retaliated. No wrath. No divine counterstrike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was not an attack...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—His fingers tightened. Because that did not comfort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It unsettled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was an enemy who attacked those places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there will be a angry retaliation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power—He understood was the. War—He thrived in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unknown power? That was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was—Danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts twisted. Fast. Sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If it wasn’t an attack... then it was a message. But why there? Why now? And why can’t I see it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His divine sight—Failed him. No matter how many times he tries to use it. At Mahendragiri\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A place he should easily observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet—Dark. Sealed. Leaving him blind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw tightened in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something is being hidden... from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that—Was unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indra stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not slowly.

Calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If it is a threat... Should I eliminate it early? Or observe first? What if it grows beyond control? What if it is meant for me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indra did not wait for certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prepared for conflict—Even when none existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds gathered outside his palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not by nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by will.
