In the battle between Prem and Vish, Dev was injured. On the other side, Altash, Rehman, Nidhi, and Aman had taken his place at the Fok Wall where Zaid, Prem, and the others were.
READ ON___________________________
Everyone thought only a fight was happening there, but something else was stirring. Inside Zaid, a different kind of storm was rising. He couldn't bear Dev's condition. All his emotions were surging inside him. A voice echoed in his ears — he couldn't understand what was happening to him.
Zaid was still trying to figure it out when he heard the voice again:
"Calm down. You want to save Daiv."
Zaid responded, "Yes, I want to save him."
"Then close your eyes and let me take control of your body. Let your anger surge. Let it come out."
Zaid had no other option left, so he did exactly as he was told.
As soon as he closed his eyes and focused, he began to see the same place he used to see in his dreams.
But this time, something different was happening. The man he had always seen writhing in flames was now standing calmly in front of him. He looked at Zaid and extended his hand. Zaid did the same — now he was ready to do anything to save Dev. He didn't feel hesitant anymore.
The moment they held hands, a blast of energy erupted from Zaid's body — so powerful that it hurled both Prem and Vish far away.
His body started to rise in the air, surrounded by a fiery light, and his form began to change. The ground beneath him began to crack, as if an explosion was about to wipe everything out.
Just as this began, Altamash, Rehman, Nidhi, and Aman arrived. Prem and Vish had just regained their footing when they saw what was happening — and the sight before them sent a chill down their spines. Everyone could sense that now that Zaid had awakened to his true form, the destruction he could unleash would be unimaginable.
Altamash and Rehman pulled Zaid's friends behind them. Destruction could begin at any moment, and they didn't want any of them to be harmed.
With a trembling voice, Abrar said to Rehman, "Sir, Dev… please save him."
Altamash looked at him and said, "Have patience. His wound isn't ordinary, and it's impossible to treat him here. We'll finish this quickly and take him for treatment. Just stay calm and no matter what happens, stay behind us."
The power flowing from Zaid was growing stronger with every moment. Vish couldn't do anything except try to survive it.
Then, the moment everyone feared came true — Zaid completely transformed. Not just his body, but even his face changed. His face was now covered with a strange mask, and then Zaid opened his eyes.
As soon as his eyes opened, a powerful and terrifying energy burst from his body. Altamash and Rehman had already prepared a shield seeing the situation, and Prem and Vish also created barriers to protect themselves.
The explosion was so devastating that it destroyed everything in its path for miles.
It was like a fiery earthquake. Thankfully, everyone managed to protect themselves in time. But it wasn't over yet. When everyone lowered their shields and the dust cleared — what they saw was beyond anything they had imagined.
In front of them stood a figure that made not only Altamash, Prem, and Rehman but even Vish exclaim in unison,
"Impossible. He's still alive?"
It was clear the man standing there was no longer Zaid. Yet it didn't feel like he was a stranger either. Altamash, Rehman, Prem, and Vish looked at him as if they knew exactly who he was — someone they never imagined they'd see again.
The figure looked at Prem and gestured for him to step aside. Prem quickly moved away and joined his allies.
Then Vish remembered the warning he had received before coming here — he had no option left but to fight. But when he looked into the red eyes of the being before him, he saw his own death.
Still, he embraced the idea of dying. He gathered all his energy in one place — all his power, all his focus, even his life force — and created a concentrated darkness so powerful that anything caught within it would be annihilated. Even the greatest warriors wouldn't be able to withstand it. Holding it in his hands, Vish smiled and said, "Try surviving this now."
Saying this, Vish unleashed the attack on Zaid — but there was no movement in Zaid's body. He just stared at Vish as if he wasn't affected at all. And just when the destructive darkness was about to strike him, Zaid raised his hand and stopped it with a bang.
Not only did he stop the darkness — he began absorbing it. In a few moments, he had absorbed all of it, and the darkness disappeared into thin air. The energy Zaid absorbed now flowed through his veins — it had become his own strength.
Then he raised his other hand and redirected all that energy toward Vish. The entire energy, like a storm of fire, rained down on Vish, turning him to ash on the spot.
Everyone who witnessed this felt the ground beneath them vanish. The very person responsible for so much destruction had vanished in an instant.
Now that Vish was gone, Zaid looked toward Dev, who lay there, wounded. He started walking toward him. Aman, Nidhi, and Abrar panicked upon seeing him approach and pleaded with Altamash,
"Will he kill us too? Please save us, we're really scared."
Rehman looked at them and said, "Don't worry. He won't harm you. Just watch what happens next."
Saying this, they all stepped aside to make way for Zaid.
Zaid walked straight to Dev and knelt beside him. He looked at Dev for a moment, then placed his hand on Dev's wound — and within seconds, the fatal wound was healed. It seemed nothing short of a miracle to those watching.
But everyone was even more shocked when Zaid looked toward Altamash and said,
"How are you? It's been a long time since I saw you."
Altamash tried to calm his confused mind and said,
"But… how are you still alive? If this boy is the heir to the infinite energy, then it's impossible for you to be alive. Only after your death can a new heir be born."
To this, he smiled and said,
"Who said I'm alive? But leave that for now — with my awakening, a far greater danger has arrived. Let's talk about that first."
