Greetings, Maharani.
Kumar, you!
Bless you, my child.
What happened, Maharani?
Kumar… that…
Ratri…
Ratri? What about her?
Maharaj Takshak and Guru Rambh have sacrificed my child.
What!!!?
Yes, Kumar.
Hearing this, Kumar is deeply shaken.
Tears begin to flow from his eyes without his consent.
His heartbeat races, and his breathing becomes heavy.
After a while, he says to Maharani Takshika—
Why did Maharaj do this, Maharani?
To obtain her powers.
Did you know about this?
Lowering her eyes…
I was not completely certain, but yes… I did have some suspicion that Maharaj and Guru Rambh were attracted to her powers.
(crying) That's why…
That's why what?
Kumar, when I had this doubt, I started searching for a way to stop this disaster. During that time, I came to know that if Ratri's powers are shared with someone, then no one would be able to harm her.
And that person would also become the holder of her powers.
Who?
The one with whom her powers have been shared.
Maharani, please tell me clearly—what are you trying to say?
With whom have you shared Ratri's powers? Who has become the bearer?
Rudra.
Rudra!!
Yes, Kumar.
Marriage was the only way to protect Ratri.
So I got Ratri married to Rudra.
Now, unless Rudra is destroyed, no one can harm Ratri or claim her powers.
I know my child is alive and safe…
But where she is… and in what condition…
I do not know.
Kumar thinks to himself—
Ratri was married to Purva…
That means half of Ratri's powers must be with Purva.
Maharani doesn't even know that Ratri was not married to a man, but to a woman named Purva.
Kumar, I want my Ratri back.
I don't know how you will do it… but bring my child back to me.
Maharaj does not know that Ratri is alive, and I cannot let him know.
So only you can help me.
Maharani, I don't know what to say right now…
But I promise this—
Either I will return to Takshak Lok with Ratri…
Or I will never show you my face again.
Thank you, Kumar.
Greetings, Maharani.
After saying this, he goes to Purva's chamber in the palace to find her, but she is nowhere to be found.
He questions the maids—
Listen… have you seen Purva anywhere?
No, Kumar. We haven't seen her for two days.
What!!? Two days!?
Alright, you may go.
Yes.
For two days… Ratri is missing…
And Purva too!!
Could it be that Purva is also in danger like Ratri?
I don't know where they are… or in what condition.
Purva has half of Ratri's powers… I don't know if she could even handle them.
O Dhritadev… wherever they are, protect them.
Nalish Lok…
A realm far beyond the seven worlds, existing in another galaxy.
It is ruled by the demon Nalish.
In his world, only the strong are worshipped.
The weak are considered the property of the strong and are forced into servitude.
Nalish delivers justice according to his own will.
One day, he asks his demon guru how to become the most powerful.
The guru replies—
If you want to become the most powerful, you must please the Demon God.
And how do I please him?
If you want to please him, offer him the Prakashpunj (Light Core).
Prakashpunj!?
Yes.
It is the source of the greatest power.
If you offer it, no one in the universe will be able to stop you from becoming the strongest.
Where can I find it?
In your old enemy's realm—Tuluv Lok.
Through my ritual, I have learned that the people of Tuluv Lok have awakened, and they have recovered from your attack…
Because the Prakashpunj has arrived there.
Otherwise, no one had the power to resist you.
But…
But what?
You must gain the Prakashpunj's power with its own consent.
Until it willingly gives you its energy, you cannot use it.
You cannot take it by force.
Very well. Find out where it is. I will decide the rest later.
Yes, Lord Nalish.
Meanwhile, in Nalish Lok, some fishermen demons are catching fish when they notice something glowing in the water.
What is that?
Let's go see.
Maybe it's something valuable we can sell in the market.
They go closer…
But as soon as they try to touch it, they see a very beautiful woman inside it.
Look at her! She's so beautiful!
Yes, her face is glowing!
If we sell her in the market to noble demons, we'll get a great price!
Yes, good idea. Take her.
They carry the unconscious girl to the market and start bidding for her.
