Gods can’t change their genders right? So was calling Varuna the “God” of water and not the “goddess” the exact phrasing?
I had a feeling that if they were traveling through time, then at some point Maruna was going to be stranded for millions or even billions of years so he could evolve to stage five naturally.
Do you think kubera was able to use insight on Maruna? He was more knowledgeable than the other gods, for some reason. Perhaps it had to do with him supposedly crossing over to the next universe using his own power?
