"We need more men."
"Well, I don't agree with you."
"You fool, I might be powerful, but I cannot be everywhere, at least, not yet."
"Why do you need more men?"
"To prepare for the coming war! Why are you so stupid?"
"No need to insult me. Correct me if I'm wrong, if you have to kill Vishnu, then all you need is a one on one fight, right?"
"Wrong. He has this saviour complex and will not come out to fight me unless I harm his precious humans and wage a war, something like that."
"One more question, you already killed so many people, you are going to kill more, why not just turn them to your cause and use them against him?"
"Leave the planning to me."
"How many men do you need?"
"Well not men, per se. Women are powerful too, given the right motivation. I need people, powerful people. But, humans are so weak nowadays. I'm going to have to transform the people I bring towards my cause to Rākshasa Stithi(demonic state). The longer they stay like that, the stronger they will become, the more evil they commit, the stronger they will become. Basically, more aggression, is more power."
"So, aggression is evil?"
"No."
"But you need aggressive people?"
"No."
"Then, what?""You just start a campaign and brainwash people into joining our cause."
"I am the stupid one, aren't I?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Then, how am I supposed to do the brainwashing?"
"Well, no need to brainwash them. Let's just call a few people to a place to hand out money for free."
"That could work. But..."
"But what?"
"We don't have money."
"Then rob a bank! Come on! I am not supposed to do everything!"
"So now you want me to rob a bank?"
"You are so useless! Just entice people somehow. I'll do something."
"Then what?"
"Then I enchant them with my power and transform them."
"Then why do we need the money?"
"You're so irritating. Just entice them somehow."
"Wait a minute."
"Now what?"
"This is not a comedy, you are an all-powerful, legendary, mythological, super serious, super stuck up, all-intellectual, a**hole of a villain, why are you spouting comic relief?"
"You don't get it, do you?"
"For a genius you are pretty stupid, if I got it, why would I ask?"
"I'm just PRETENDING to be stupid because this story has not been written for a long period of time because the writer is a bigger d*ck than me. To be precise, he is, he doesn't have a big one. I have to entertain the audience. F**k this m*****f*cking s***!"
"Do you talk to your mother with that mou.....oh F***! I'm sorry I didn't mean that!"
"What the hell did you just say to me? You puny Rākshasa!"
"Okay, first of all, I'm not a Rākshasa and even before, I was never a Rākshasa, I was a king, Dattebayo!"
"Seriously?"
"What?"
"The writer is so out of words now, he is putting in anime references? Ones that don't even mean anything? I mean, where is the plot?"
"Well, this 'writer' has been writing this story for 4 years now, and he has gotten nowhere! 16 chapters? Seriously? Who is he kidding?"
"15."
"I'm counting the prologue as well." said Shukra.
The clouds raged with thunder suddenly. As if to be angry.
"See?" said Jai.
"What?"
"Now you've pissed him off." said he pointing towards the sky.
"I could care less about the Gods being pissed."
"Not those Gods, we will be fighting them sooner or later, I'm talking about our God!"
"Did you just say our God? And who is that supposed to be?"
"If you piss him off, you won't be a part of the story anymore!"
"Pffftttt....as if he would have a story without us, we are the main villains, DUH!"
"SO YOU DO ADMIT IT?"
"WHAT?"
"I'M THE MAIN VILLAIN, I MEAN THE CO-MAIN VILLAIN!"
"Yeah, what........"
The thunderous sound started to sound comprehensible.
'Thou shalt pay the price for mocking the Lord.'
"Uhm, he is the Lord, right here!" said Jai pointing to Shukra.
'Do not interrupt me or you will be gone in the next chapter...I mean..... In this chapter!'
"At least decide who you want present or gone, when and where, even being such a bad writer, you can at least do this much!"
'Heyyyyy....if you don't stop right now, I'm going to throw you into writer's block! Never to return! I've had my share of problems! I fell in love and then out of it many times, had to study a lot to make up for lost time and even now this is not a serious career choice for me, this is just a leisurely hobby-based task for me! If you got this, nod your heads and we can be done with this.'
Both of them nodded in agreement.
'Hi guys, I'm talking to you, the readers, I'm sorry for not being able to continue this story for such a long time, I love it that you can bear all this, I'll try to be more regular from now on.'
"Yes, he will, he is the best writer in the world."
'Okay, it's just ridiculous when you pile on, why are you the way that you are? Seriously, get your head out my ass, Jai!'*
The Divine Astras shall continue now! A new chapter every week! I will try! ;)
