Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 319 Did the Gods Ever Cry?
The prince of darkness actually let that hot lava glow swallow his body. The demon dragon continued to exert more so that it created a large lava ball that wrapped the prince's body.
Once satisfied, the demon dragon returned the lava to its original place. He was shocked to see the prince was still fine.
“How can you?!”
“You're satisfied playing around?! You forget, your strength and my strength are similar. This fire attack of yours can't hurt me. On the contrary, I have other powers that you do not have!”
Thanks to the adventures of Nala and Batari Mahadevi in the three-moon world, the prince of darkness can use the power of ice and lightning. Previously, he only had the power of fire and a dark circle that made him an invincible demon.
“Prove your talk!” the demonic dragon darted towards Andhakara. The fire power he possessed was truly extraordinary. Had it not been the prince of darkness who was his opponent, he could have already won before even fighting.
The female form of the demon dragon's incarnation moved with agility and speed. The two figures clashed against each other with strength, speed, and blows. The demon dragon no longer showed an angry facial expression. Instead, he enjoyed the fight.
“Since you were tough, Andhakara!”
“And always superior to you. You never win against me, do you?!”
“Cih, still arrogant. It's been a long time since we met, you should have hugged me!”
“You don't see my queen there!”
“What's really why? Before that thing was with you, you could just fuck with me!”
“Already! I'm not here to discuss the past!”
“I'm still pissed at you. Ever since I was punished here, you haven't even visited me!”
“Waiting you while the demon lord is still in power, will be a big deal for me. Since when are you free?” Andhakara knew that the demon dragon was free before he called him out.
“After the demon lord was defeated by the gods, a few years later I was free. No one knows I can be free.”
“Why didn't you see me?”
“I'm coming, Andhakara. On the day of your feast with Ogha. I am among the hundreds of thousands of demons who are happy for you. I wanted to kill your queen right then and there. But I still love you. I came back here and never showed myself again.”
Andhakara felt guilty after hearing the words of Rodra, the demon dragon. In the past, Rodra was the war dragon of the demon king. Rodra wanted to grow stronger to help the king. One day, he swallowed one of the demon's heirlooms in the palace. His power grew, but the king was angry and punished him in the hell of the end of the world.
“If I can hold you now, then I will. But I can't do it, Rodra. Not because of the queen, but the soul of this body that can at any time come back and harm me or others around me. My soul is weakening at the moment and that is why I want to rebuild the demon temple in the underworld and restore my soul.”
“If I help you, I will often see your queen right?! Aren't you afraid I'll kill him?”
“Eternal demon blood has fused within his body. You know what that means, right? You can't kill him.”
“Andhakara! You even gave the demon heirloom to that female! All righty! All righty! All righty! Now what do you want from me?”
“Cute with me!”
“You are so outrageous! I don't want to get close to your queen! “
“You can follow me from afar!”
“Argghhhh!!! How regrettable! Yes already! There you go first.”
“You sure?”
“You want me to help you or not?!”
“Das pervert! Why do you always manage to make me obey your words!” Rodra grumbled along the way.

Atar ocean, Batari Mahadewi found an extraordinary figure, a woman with long hair who was arranging the garden.
“You're awake apparently. It was great to meet you in person.” The figure welcomed the friendly arrival of Batari Mahadewi. “I am the goddess of beauty.”
“Goddess of beauty?”
“Yes, I'm the one who gave you half of the beauty. You really grew as I expected.”
“Thank you,” Batari Mahadewi did not know what to say. But you know now why many people consider it very beautiful.
As the name implies, the goddess of beauty is responsible for creating beauty. The parasite is definitely perfectly beautiful. Only, there should not be a single god who falls in love with him. The king of the gods forbade anyone to fall in love with the goddess of beauty, for if that happened, the gods would fight.
Thus, her beauty can be enjoyed by anyone, but should not be touched. It is precisely because of this that she always looked beautiful to all the gods. Was the goddess of beauty happy with the grace she had? Of course not!
When Kalapati ransacked the heaven, it was this goddess that made him stop raging nonviolently. The goddess danced such a beautiful dance that Kalapati could only stand frozen, staring at a beauty she had never seen. That way, the surviving gods could escape.
The goddess of beauty flees as the king of gods fights alone against Kalapati. After three days of fighting, Kalapati managed to imprison the god king. But the giant king saw no more beauty in the heavenly world.
“You haven't fully recovered yet right?” ask the goddess of beauty.
“Yes, my body still hurts. I've never experienced this before.”
“The pain is your heart, not your body. Come here, I'll help you recover.” The goddess took out some strange golden objects and gave them to Batari Mahadevi.
“What is this?”
“It is the fruit of happiness. Eat it, you'll feel better than ever.”
The fruit is hard as metal. Batari Mahadevi hesitated to eat it for a moment, even though her stomach was very hungry. But then he kept trying to put the grape-sized fruit into his mouth. He was surprised to be able to chew the fruit so easily. Moments later, he felt much better than before.
“Spend all that,” says goddess of beauty. Batari Mahadevi did. He ate the fruit until it was finished. A few moments later, he felt healed. The pain he felt all over his body suddenly disappeared. He could not believe it and tried to move his body.
“Ajib once! I've recovered!”
“Hahaha, that's it.”
Another figure suddenly came. His body was gallant, his hair was long, and he wore war clothes. Although his face was quite handsome, but there was something strange on his face. The god has three eyes.
“God of war, it's time for you to train this beautiful lady,” said the goddess of beauty welcomed the arrival of the god of war.
“Welcome, Sang Hyang Maharuna,” greet the god of war.
“Call me Dance, name of my adoptive mother's gift.”
“Good...good...hahaha. How grumpy! Good riddance! We're gonna practice in my room. Don't let me see you cry again! Embarrassment!”
“Did the gods never cry?”
The question made the god of war and the goddess of beauty gawk. But at least the two of them tried to remember, did they ever cry? When did that happen?
