With three extra high-class gods and a group of bloodthirsty Asuras, it was extremely easy to free the captives and start massacring the city.
Many of the high-class Nagas killed their own families instead of letting the Asuras capture them.
War is the place where the real emotions of people come out and such was the scene in the city.
The Cruelty of Asuras which was famous in the three realms was on full display here.
Even many unspeakable and horrendous crimes, which are even condemned by the Asuras were committed in mass numbers throughout the city. In the burning fire of revenge, the Asuric warriors had forgotten the values and code of conduct which they are so prideful of, they had forgotten or it will be best to say, neglected the things and teachings which they proudly advocated to their children and juniors.
For the Nagas, Asuras had become the real living nightmares of their dreams. Even small children, the elderly, and women were brutally killed and shredded.
Similarly in one of the houses with a grand courtyard and golden building.
" P-Please... I beg you.....please - please let my child live..... You can kill me, take all my gold and possessions..... Just let my child live " A Naga man wept bitterly while clutching the legs of the monster in front of him.
The Naga man had once been a respected artist in the Palace of the Naga king and despite not being a warrior, had been living a comfortable life in the core area of the city.
He had a beautiful green hooded snake wife and an excellently talented son and the ancient revenge against the Asuras wasn't a topic which he was much concerned about, after all, he was just from a mere commoner background and didn't have a sky-touching ego and pride like those royals and warriors.
Looking at the lifeless body of his once beautiful wife across the other end of the hall and his injured son behind him, he did whatever came to his mind, even if it meant pleading and sobbing to the monster who killed her wife.
He doesn't have any will to live now, if he can make sure that his son is left alive, then he can die peacefully and be free from this cursed world, a world where innocent people like him have to pay the prices of their king's ambitions.
" Don't worry. I won't kill your child. He will ask me himself to end his life, hahaha hahaha, that's it, that's the expression I was looking for. Anger, frustration, despair everything mixed together. Ahhhhh man it's just so - so exhilarating. " Akaal spoke maniacally while wrapping his pale hands all around his body with a euphoric smile on his face.
He has been unempathetic towards people he doesn't know from childhood and on top of that, his king had specially ordered him to kill every single being who looked like a damn snake.
Taking one last look at the man's face he waved his hand horizontally while cleanly slicing the face of the man in half.
" FA - FATTHHHERRRRRR " the teenage Naga who was lying down on the ground due to an injury to his leg cried loudly in agony and pain as he saw his father being killed.
" don't worry. I am a man of my word. I won't kill you. In the end, it all depends on how much you can take. " Akaal muttered sweetly while stepping towards the boy.
Scenes like these very common in the city, there were many more cruel and barbaric Asuras in the city than Akaal and many Nagas had much worse and tragic fates than this Naga Artist's family.

" This ?!!?? What the hell is going on ?!! " Narada who stood in the shadows of the void space muttered with a horrifying expression on his face.
These damn Asuras have now crossed all limits of patience. Looking at the literal hell-like city in front of him, he couldn't even think that this was real.
" Whatever bad you do to others, eventually comes back at you at some point. I will make sure that today's actions of these vile and unethical bastards don't go unpunished. " Narada spoke with a firm voice full of justice and righteousness.
Killing the unarmed was considered very morally wrong and unethical by the warriors of the Hindu pantheon, and killing the unarmed was probably the least cruel thing done by the Asuras tonight.
The intentional torture and rape of women and children are enough to make lord Vishnu act as if it was sufficient enough reason.
" What is this bug doing here spying on us? " A cold voice entered Narada's ears and he quickly turned around.
" Oh, so it was Danava prince Svarbhanu. " Narada spoke calmly after looking at Svarbhanu's face.
" so it was lord Narada who was spying on us. I am sorry for calling you a bug. " Svarbhanu spoke coldly with a not-so-apologetic tone while a black-colored dome covered them.
Looking at the black dome around him, Narada wasn't a fool to determine the unfriendly intentions of the Danava in front of him.
" I didn't expect Prahalda to attack the Nagaloka with such cruelty. I guess you must have played a big part in this incident. " Narada spoke while staring at Svarbhanu meaningfully.
' It's good that I noticed him early on. Or he would have surely discovered big brother and Naga King fighting in the center. ' Svarbhanu thought with some relief.
Narada was the child of Brahma himself and the uncle of his father in family relationships and apart from this, he was also the biggest devotee or sidekick of Vishnu. So killing him would have had huge repercussions and hence it was just best to hold him here until this is finished and then watch him go back.
" Yeah. So? It was the Nagas who had attacked us and were celebrating while preparing to cook my people. Now, how can they expect any shred of mercy from us? " Svarbhanu replied with full force as if he had been waiting for someone to argue with him.
" I think you had taken enough revenge now. Look at the city around you. Death and misfortune are everywhere. After this event, I don't think that the Nagas will ever even think of challenging the Asuras. " Narada spoke firmly while cursing the Nagas in his heart.
Since the last defeat of Asuras. They had been living quietly in their own realm without causing any problems, everything was going peacefully but... These damn snakes had to pester the Asuras without any substantial and reasonable chances of winning.
Such a big war, just before the Samudra Manthan, will inevitably make the fire in the heart of Asuras light brighter and fiercer, the war faction among the Asuras will be much more dominant due to this event and it will once again lead to another Deva - Asura war.
Svarbhanu sneered openly without any restraint after listening to Narada's ridiculous statements.
" We don't need any advice from strangers. Especially from you. So you just stay here quietly until this thing ends and don't force me to make you stay here. " Svarbhanu spoke coldly.
" Aren't you going overboard with that statement? What makes you think that you can hold me off? " Narada muttered with a scary smile on his face.
" her. " Svarbhanu spoke with a smile while pointing above Narada's head.
Narada raised his head and looked up in the sky only to find a colossus black dragon staring at him with those dark intimidating eyes.
"..... long time no see, VRITRA. "
~~~~~
" Hahaha, so this is the power of Asura King Prahlada. " Vishdar spoke while coughing out blood and numerous cuts marked his body.
Looking at the fine and uninjured Asura in front of him, a feeling of deep frustration filled Vishdar's heart. He had worked so hard all his life, only to be killed by a Royal brat who wasn't even inserted in fighting most of his life.
The buildings around then had now turned into burned and destroyed ruins and the same scene was occurring in many places all over the city.
" I DON'T ACCEPT THIS. I WON'T DIE LIKE THIS. " Vishdar spoke with gritted teeth. He can't die now, not like this, not so easily.
" You know I appreciate you. I do but... Unfortunately, you were born on the wrong end of the rope, and since you are dying anyway. I am not the king of Asuras anymore. If I was, I wouldn't be here, fighting you. " Prahlada spoke with a calm atmosphere booming around him.
" ?!!!! Hahaha hahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAH, we have been played. We have been doomed since the moment we dared to attack the Asura capital. " Vishdar stiffed for a moment and then broke out laughing in a consoling manner.
" if...if it was possible..... Would you change sides and join us? You know, we need self-made people like you in our ranks. " Prahlada spoke in a serious voice.
".... I am flattered...Former Asura King..... But I am not a coward nor an unloyal bastard. No matter what, I was born as a Naga and will die also as a Naga. " Vishdar replied with a proud smile while standing up.
" ..sigh... Okay then. I will make it quick and painless. " Prahlada sighed with some disappointment but his respect for the Naga commander increased manifolds.
" huh!??!! Do you think I will stand here and let you kill me? I am Vishdar, the commander of the Nagas, and I won't be dying so easily------- ughhhh..... Bastard... You could have at least... Let me complete it... My lines. " Vishdar's eyes widened in shock while looking at the red-colored hand which pierced his chest.
With a thud, the lifeless body of the great Naga commander slumped on the ground.
A generation of heroes had fallen dead in front of him, by his very own hands. Prahlada flicked his hand and a red fire flickered on Vishdar's body.
There is no need to guess what will be done to the Dead Naga bodies after the war. They will be cooked and eaten like it was done many years ago and in his eyes, as a high-class god and the commander of a great race, Vishdar didn't deserve this kind of humiliation.

" Now let's try my [ Super Impact punch ] on him. " Andhaka muttered with a ferocious grin on his face. Just by looking at his face, many of the Naga warriors would have started slithering away in the opposite direction without even putting up a single ounce of resistance.
Looking at the Jade green-colored spear in the hand of the Naga King, Andhaka didn't even bother to summon his own weapon. His weapon just didn't come out for anybody.
" hahaha take t---- "
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM
Andhaka stopped in his tracks and looked at the large crater in front of him, with the battered body of the Naga king in between.
Looking at the vague back of an unrecognizable figure due to dust, a look of frustration appeared on the Asura king's face.
" Who dares to interfere between me and the Naga King? " He spoke loudly in a firm tone while looking at the figurine.
" huh ?? " the figure turned back and looked at Andhaka with crimson-red eyes full of anger and hatred.
" He is mine. " Virochana spoke in a commanding voice as if he wasn't ordering the Asura king and there was no room for any argument in his voice as it came off more as a fact rather than a request.
And after that, he didn't even bother to listen to Andhaka's reply and just turned back toward the Naga King.
Being talked to and treated like that was very - very rare and unusual for Andhaka, he would have definitely loved to break the teeth and rip out the tongue which dared to speak like this to him.
But... Today. He can't say anything to Virochana when it came to facing the Naga king.
" hehehhahahahahhahahisssss, Another High god class. You Asuras have really been hiding your strength too smartly... But..do you think ... That after today...you will be able to keep this act? The strength of the Asuras will be exposed to the whole world....and don't forget my two older brothers.....no matter what, they are also Nagas, and seeing your race be destroyed just like that...do you think they will stay put? ..... That's why I am giving you a chance. End this war now and apologize to the Nagas for the damage and casualties you have caused. "
Before Andhaka could do it himself. A red-colored fist slammed into the face of the Naga king and once again expanded the impacted area of the crater around him.
" Apologize ?!!? Really? "
BAAAAAAAAAAMMM
" YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO ASK US TO APOLOGIZE? "
BAAAAAAAAAAMMM
" BASTARD, DONT WORRY. I WILL ALSO KILL YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER SOON, SO YOU WON'T BE ALL LONELY IN THE AFTERLIFE. "
BAAAAAAAAAAAMM
BAAAAAAAAAAAMMM
BAAAAAAAAAAAMMM
Virochana kept on shouting loudly while beating the Naga king to a pulp.
"... his..... Noooooo....stop....you can't.... kill... me. " a weak and hoarse voice came from the crater as the Naga king looked at scary Asura standing above him.
" YES. I CAN. AAARRGGHHH " Virochana shouted while raising his hands high up in the air.
" Stop it Virochana. " Andhaka spoke while clutching one of his shoulders.
" do you want him to die so easily? " looking at the angry eyes of his nephew, Andhaka's tone softened up.
No matter what happened in the past between them, but currently looking at the angry and sad face of his one and only nephew, he couldn't bring himself to be angry. He was still family after all.
~~~~~~~
" Sound the battle horn, Mahisha and capture all the remaining Nagas alive and get ready to go back to Rasatala. " Andhaka spoke as he looked at the chained and defeated Naga King in the custody of a slightly calm Virochana.
The King of the Nagas stared at the increasing number of Asuras around him with hatred and humiliation and looked up with resistance but.
SLAAAAAAAPP
" Who are you looking like that? Don't forget. You are just a defeated and disgraced king now. " Virochana spoke with a cruel smile on his face while smacking Takshaka on his cheek.
" HAHAHAHAH AHAHAHA HAHAHAHAH " The Asuras around like, The special squad and other experienced God class warriors looked at the scene with enjoyment and glee, only Prahlada had a little conflicting look on his face.
He felt like his son was drifting away from him with each passing moment, and there wasn't anything which he could do about it.
Andhaka also smiled a little stiffly at the scene but smiled while looking at the increasing hoard of Asuras around him.
" Where are Vritra and Svarbhanu? " He asked Mahisha who was standing beside him as he couldn't find them anywhere in the crowd.
" Kin--- "
"We are here brother. " a teleportation hole appeared in the empty space around ten meters from Andhaka.
Andhaka looked at the faces of Vritra and Svarbhanu and felt if something was wrong.
" what happened? "
" It was Narada. He was here to spectate the battle. "
" Did he.....? " Andhaka asked without any worry. He had long accepted the fact that his identity may leak out today, so he wasn't worried anymore.
" No, although we have successfully offended, Sage Narada but most likely, he wasn't able to know about you. " Svarbhanu reported with a serious look on his face.
" I think he may already start having doubts in his mind. Prahalda won't have been this cruel if we attacked Naga Loka under his leadership. That is what most of people will think, and then us, stopping him was definitely quite suspicious ..... Or... He may have already seen you but acted like he didn't in front of us..... We all know how deceitful he is. " Vritra spoke with damaged dragon scales around her waist and shoulder.
" Well... That's a possibility. " Andhaka muttered while nodding his head.
" well now there's not much we can do, so let's do what we were doing and take care of your injuries those who are injured. " He said while smiling slightly at Vritra.
" King. " Mahisha stepped near Andhaka and whispered in his ear slightly.
"Isn't now the perfect time to execute that plan? " Andhaka's eyes brightened up after listening to Mahishasura. He was already thinking about it and was just waiting for someone to remind him of that.
" Yes, but the Samudra Manthan is also near, and that will decide everything so it won't mean anything if we execute it before that and then never even return alive from the Cosmic ocean. " Andhaka spoke calmly while patting Mahisha on his shoulder.
" And..."
" Ask? " Andhaka spoke while looking at Mahisha's hesitating expressions.
" Why did you order us to capture the Nagas left alive? Didn't you say to kill them all? " Andhaka nodded slightly at Mahisha's question.
"We surely need some slaves to rebuild our city. Don't you think so? Hahahahahahaha "
Mahisha looked at his king for a moment and then followed suit.
" hahaha hahaha ..... "
