But how?
Karna thought of all the ways that people could get divine weapons and powers in this world.
But they were long-term methods, like praying to God for hundreds or thousand years and making them happy, and when they appear to grant your wish, then asking for powers or divine weapons.
Or the second method was taking some Sage as your Guru, who already had a divine weapon and knowledge to give you.
Well, the Guru option I could try, but praying to God,
Karna was an atheist in his last life and still saw gods as more like strong alien more then God.
So, he wasn’t sure his prayers would be accepted.
But maybe, maybe one can still accept it.
The God of Gods, in mythology, that God was easy to please, and he gave many evil guys powers.
So maybe, who knows, maybe his luck would shine, though he wasn’t going to spend 1000 years on hardcore praying; a month at most, he could give.
As he didn’t have any great respect for gods, well, not like he hated them or anything.
Just his stupid ego.
But for power, he could pray to them; well, that’s what Asuras do. Asuras were another race here, a more evil race: demons.
They pray to a supreme God, get powers, and use them in an evil way, like conquering the world. Though in the end, they always die; good always wins against evil, but Karna would be fine; he wasn’t evil after all; he was a good guy.
Karna walked for two hours on the muddy road in the forest; he was in a kingdom called Hastinapura, and Karna was the eldest prince of this Kingdom.
Look what you’re doing, fate, making a prince like me walk barefoot on a muddy road.
Karna thought jokingly and chuckled.
He didn’t have any fixed destination. Where he was going. He couldn’t go to his family and say he was their eldest prince.
Who knew if they were going to accept him or not, and what he wanted was the throne of the kingdom, not family drama.
He wants a throne because he simply thinks he can rule better than those low-minded people.
And he knows they won’t just make just becouse he wants it. So, that’s why he needs divine weapons first, then peaceful talk.
And there was one more thing that made this world different from mythology.
In the original mythology: there was a quite lot time age gap in between births. Karna was the eldest, with lot years ahead, but here the queen of this Kingdom had already given birth to ninety-nine princes and one princess, and that was fifteen years ago.
Duryodhana and his 99 brothers and one sister.
In mythology, they were a hundred brothers and one sister, born in clay pots because of the divine words of some sage.
Here it was also the same; it was just that one brother was missing. Who knows why?
That’s why he was saying that there were many things different here.
Who knows what might happen at any moment, so it was not so good to trust too much in the plot.
Would I meet them?
According to rumors, those princes were learning from their Guru Drona in some nearby village.
Well whatever.
He had no business with them right now, so no need to find them.
Huh?..
His ears picked up the sound. The laughter of young boys and their talk.
"Hahaha, yeah yeah, brother Bheem, you’re the most beautiful man in the world."
" Just beautiful?!"
" No, no, my bad, the strongest and most beautiful... Puff."
"Hahaha..."
" Why are you all laughing? Are you all making fun of me? Nakul!"
" No, no, we never dare, right, brother Arjuna?"
"Puff..."
"Hmph! I’m not dumb. I know I’m the second most... "
Those names!. Karna stopped on the spot. Meeting them was never the plan.
Those were his so-called five younger brothers.
But since they were here, let’s take a look.
Karna’s lips turned into a malicious smile as he walked toward them.
"Someone coming this way..."
Seriously, they noticed me already!.
Karna was surprised, then he looked down; the muddy road was filled with dry leaves and tree branches. So they must have picked up the sound when he stepped on them.
After all, they were also demigods.
The muddy road turned in front of him, but before Karna reached it, the five young boys stepped out and came in front of him.
