Satya had already set off on his journey to increase his power. Meanwhile, within the royal chambers, the Evil King Ivan paced back and forth, consumed by a mixture of rage and anxiety. Suddenly, a woman wrapped in a dark cloak, her eyes gleaming with a sinister light, manifested in the room—it was the Evil Queen Kakia. Her voice was cold, yet laced with a deceptive sweetness.
"What troubles you, my King?" Kakia asked in a low, bone-chilling voice. "Who dares to disturb your peace?"
Ivan paused for a moment. "I cannot understand, Kakia... who exactly is this Shiva? And who is aiding him? His true identity still eludes my grasp."
Kakia smiled slowly, her expression dripping with malice. "Leave that to me, my King. Allow me to handle it. You simply rest." Kakia's cunning charm and her influence over the mighty Ivan created a disturbing atmosphere. Despite Ivan's immense strength, he remained vulnerable to her manipulations—a clear sign of her own dark authority.
Though Ivan's worries did not fully fade, he fell silent at her words.
A while later, Kakia was seen walking through the dim, flickering corridors of an ancient underground prison. This was a deep dungeon where the last prisoner was kept—Helios, the God of Eyesight. Kakia entered his cell and stood before him with a wicked grin.
"How are you faring?" Kakia taunted. Helios glanced at her but remained silent.
"Hm, not going to speak?" Kakia leaned in slightly. "Aren't you curious to know how long you've been trapped here?"
A brief spark flickered in Helios' eyes, but he quickly regained his cold composure. "What does it matter? As long as traitors like you exist, how can I ever be at peace?"
Kakia spoke again, "Adapting to the situation is the key to success, you fool! And... don't you want to be free? Or do you wish to spend the rest of your life rotting here in captivity?"
This time, Helios snapped back in anger, "What do you want? Why are you still haunting me?"
Beneath her dark cloak, Kakia's smile widened. "I only need the identity of one man... and after that, you are free!"
Helios contemplated for a moment before saying, "Fine. But do you promise I will be liberated afterward?"
Kakia's smile turned deeper and more terrifying. "Of course... Helios, the God of Eyesight."
In that instant, Kakia used her dark energies to manifest a cursed collar and fastened it around Helios' neck. Then, using her black magic, she tore open a portal and sent Helios to the outskirts of Jedna Village.
The protective barrier around Jedna had already been compromised, allowing Helios to enter with ease. Shiva was not present there, but his memories were ripe for the taking. Helios activated his divine powers and, reaching across time, began to delve deep into Shubhu's memories.
He saw a broken gate, sealed with divine power, surrounded by Shubhu's most recent recollections. Helios witnessed the entire truth—Shiva's real identity, his experiments, and the true origin of his Spirit God powers. He saw exactly how Shubhu had transformed back on Earth.
Then, Helios approached the gate and attempted to force it open with his strength. The gate yielded, revealing a vast ocean of ancient war memories. Helios finally understood who Shubhu truly was. His joy knew no bounds as he whispered, "So... at long last... you have returned!"
He desperately tried to break the collar around his neck to escape Kakia's tracking magic, but he failed. Suddenly, Queen Kakia pulled Helios back through the portal. "So tell me, Helios, what have you discovered?"
Helios lied, "I found nothing. My powers have weakened; being surrounded by your evil has corrupted them."
Kakia burst into a loud, mocking laugh and then cast a dark spell upon him. He writhed in agony. Kakia had placed him under a powerful state of hypnosis. Helios became helpless; he tried to resist with all his might, but he was now entirely under the control of Kakia's magic.
"Now tell me, dear Helios... who is Shiva? And who is helping him?" Kakia asked with her evil grin.
Under the spell, Helios began to speak. He said, "The Spirits are aiding Shubhu. His experiment... his transformation into a Spirit God... it is all true."
Just as Helios was about to mention the sealed gate, his inner strength suddenly surged. He lunged forward, grabbing Kakia by the throat, and screamed, "You will never win!"
Following this, Helios activated his self-destruct sequence. As he began to disintegrate into pure energy, Queen Kakia quickly opened another portal and fled.
On the other side of the portal, Kakia laughed hysterically. "Shiva, the Spirit God! What will you do when the world learns your true identity? How long will these Spirits grant you their power? We will find a way to ensure these beings can no longer assist you. Just wait... the hour of your downfall is at hand!"
Her laughter was so horrific it would make any soul tremble. Meanwhile, back in the fortress, Ivan was watching Kakia through a crystal stone, his eyes filled with suspicion as if he no longer fully trusted her.
Would you like me to continue the story from here, focusing on Ivan's growing suspicion or Shiva's reaction to the loss of Helios?
