I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.

Chapter 174 172. PTSD

"Wait!?? What happened to you Mata??"

Karna was about leaven when his eyes fall on the Ganga sitting on the ground like a soulless being not aware of anything in her surroundings, just looking down muttering something to herself.

This scene made Karna throw away all other concerns as he flashed past everything and appeared in front of her, He sat in front of her and then held her shoulder making her look at him.

*Boom* *Bang*

But the moment he saw her reddish eyes filled with infinite pain and guilt he was not able to control himself. A sonic wave released from his body as the Chaos element in him started to become excited, wanting to throw the whole world into chaos.

This time Karna didn't ask why or who? He just looked around with his pitch-black chaotic eyes around the field looking for the reason. He didn't care who was right and wrong here at this moment.

He just wants the culprit to pay the price for this sin of theirs to make his mother cry. He looked around and locked it on the three figures in the royal chamber looking at him.

They were no one but Kaliya, Bhisham and Narada. He has a gut feeling it was one of them who has a part in this and so he wanted to jump forward to deliver them their punishment as he is currently capable of doing so.

But one weak hand halted his moments, Karna turned around just to see the tear-stained face of Ganga making his heart bleed seeing her in that state.

Ganga here could not believe her eyes at all, When she did not sensed the presence of Karna in the middle of the impact zone she lost all hope of Karna being alright or even alive.

This awakened the long lost buried deep memories in hers, The PTSD of hers triggered, She started to she see her 7 sons she drowned with her own hands, Begging their mother not to kill them and she mercilessly did it anyway.

Yeah it did not happen like that, It was their request to be killed as they were born mortal as curse, All she did was favour to those sages for freeing them from those mortal bounding that quickly, they even thanked her afterwards.

But right now it was not the reason why she did is important, Ganga never recovered from doing that. She still feels guilty for those 7 sons of her curse or not, they were hers.

They were her flesh and blood, and she killed them in cold-blooded, and now she allowed her other son to die like that right in front of her eyes.

How can she not break down? At least before she can give herself solace in fact that it was good for them, They did not have to suffer because of their curse but what about Karna? What reason would she give now?

She herself accepted him as her son, And then she could not able to protect him, She would have watched over him or at least make sure he would be in safe distance not right next to the battlefield of gods.

She felt defeated. Her own self was condemning her, blaming her why she didn't all she could do to protect her son. Didn't she do that she did with Bhishma? She protected him even from the man the whole world afraid of.

She started to think of she did not did enough because Karna was not her real son, Her flesh and blood. She knows it is not true but she can't help but to think what if it was what she thought of it.

Indeed, She could have taken him to Heaven away from here long before, Yeah there were rules of no mortal are allowed in it but didn't she bring Bhishma there? Even if Bhishma is the reincarnation of the sage, He was still mortal at that time.

If she could able to bring him, Then of course if she tried a little, pushed a little she would have been able to bring him to the safe place. This is a guilt her heart could not bear, not to mention there was sorrow to deal with the loss of her son.

But when she was about to drown in self guilt, an unusually warm hand grabbed her shoulder bringing a new warmth of her cold world. She by instinct life her head high and then she saw it.

The face that looked like personally designed and crafted by the divine artifact Vishvkarma, the creator of Heaven himself, She just could not believe it, thinking her mind was playing tricks on her.

Yet she sensed that unusual warmth spreading in her whole being brought out a new life in herself indicating what she was seeing was not a trick or illusion, This is reality, Her son was standing right front of her.

The goddess whose job was to take the sins of others with a smile on her face could not bear the surge of happiness, The tears which were building in her two gem-like eyes were broken free from their bonds letting her emotions flow freely.

But these were not tears of loss of a beloved son, rather tears of happiness of a mother seeing her son unharmed. She just keeps staring at him not looking away fearing he would vanish if she does so.

"Mata, Are you okay?"

Karna asked in concern containing the rage built up inside him, Yeah he know Ganga is his mother that is not a surprise but the reason he can say it front of this people is that his Radha Ma tell him Ganga is also his mother.

Though she said is different way not telling him the full story as in her eyes no kid should know about the fact that he was unwanted to the women who gave him birth, That is something one can never be recover from.

So she just tells him that the Ganga river being the one who gave life to this region, Also takes care of everyone like a mother, And Ganga being a former queen of the Hastinapur, She deserves the title of mother.

That is how Radha convinces Karna, and Karna knowing the reason why his mother is telling a lie just fofollowst, And thanks to that he can call her mother without any problem.

This is also helpful to him, This way the real story will not come out, Which took away his worry about being backtracked by someone with intention and connects him to Kunti, He did not want that at all.

That not only going to make him disputed but also put him on the back foot, He will become a passive party as he is no longer able to actively counterattack them as it would not look good in the eyes of society.

"Answer m-*

*Slap*

Karna when not getting an answer asked again but what answered him a tight slap on his face, Which stunned him, not because if slap, He in his current state can able to react instantaneously at the speed of thought.

He saw its hand in slow motion moving towards him, He had a chance, he had a lot of time in his hands to get away from it dodge the slap or just avoid getting hit but he on purpose didn't move.

Because he saw it, He saw it in her eyes that he was the reason, the culprit who hurt her this much, He realized that she was this worried thinking something might have happen to him.

It finally hit him that he is invincible right now nothing can hurt or harm him but others don't know that, in their eyes, he is superly gifted but nothing but a child that is vulnerable and needs protection.

So he let that slap on him, He even used his willpower to the extreme to prevent Faceslap's body from triggering harming Ganga, Thankfully unlike in a normal state he can do it right now.

So he felt the impact of the slap but to his surprise even though there was momentum behind the slap when it hit his cheeks he felt like he was struck by a cotton ball, There was no impact power at all.

He in surprise looked up just for his vision to go dark as he was taken into embrace by Ganga, She just like the other two was not willing to let him go from her grasp at all.

"I forgive you for this time. If you did it next time, Then you will face the real fury of Ganga, Whose currents might be so much that it can drown all three worlds, So you better be careful not to repeat it."

Then there were gentle soul-cleaning words spoken by Ganga. They were like a drop of nectar poured in Karna's ears, He was glad that he was forgiven this easily.

To be honest he really didn't want to pull this stunt it just happened on its own, But still he will make sure that it will not happen in front of people who cared about him anymore.

"I will try my best not to do it again *whisper* in front of you."

Karna spoke confidently as not to make her worry about him anymore, But made sure to whisper words that only he can hear as he will not break his word.

Ganga who is not in state to care about details hearing Karna would not do it was become relaxed as she let her worry about Karna relax for a while.
