They are going to himalayas and his friend subash came my parent are kill by the demon dud want to become strong get subash jump into train and he reach the himalayas and the thunder arrow them and rudra stop the arrow with void and they came out ask why are you came here and rudra say I want to practice the time the tribe ask whi said you and rudra say lord shiva and the tribe kneel to rudra say only three member are tell the lord shiva tell them came we do not know first person name and the second person is potnuri durga prasad rudra ask the second person IA my grand rudra and others go to practice The air at the secret tribal site was frozen, but the energy radiating from the Tantra Chakra was boiling. Rudra sat at the center of the ancient geometric symbol, his face a mask of iron resolve. He held a ceremonial sword, its blade etched with runes of the old world.

​"Grandfather did this. Now, it is my turn," Rudra whispered.

​He closed his eyes and began the invocation: "Om Namah Kala Bhairavaya Namah!"

​In a swift, brutal motion, Rudra swung the blade. The steel tore through muscle and bone, completely severing his own head from his shoulders. His head tumbled into a ritual bowl placed before him. But the horror did not end there—the lips of the severed head continued to move, the voice echoing with a supernatural resonance: "Kala Bhairava! Accept my blood! Accept my soul!"

​Suddenly, a black dog emerged from the shadows. It lapped the blood from the bowl, and in a burst of divine smoke, it transformed into the towering, terrifying form of Lord Kala Bhairava. The deity picked up Rudra's head and pressed it back onto his neck.

​"Rudra," the God spoke, his voice like grinding tectonic plates. "For your absolute surrender, I grant you the Time Skill. I take 10% of your soul as payment. But heed my warning: You may freeze the present or see the future, but you must never touch the past. The flow of time is sacred."

​The Trial of Ice and Shadow

​While Rudra faced the God of Time, Isha underwent a trial of her own. She plunged into the depths of a sacred lake where the temperature was a lethal -75 degrees. She did not drown; she meditated. Impressed by her devotion to Rudra and her family, Lord Shiva appeared amidst the frozen depths. He took 3.897 parts of her soul and ignited the Cosmic Observation within her. She emerged from the water not as a girl, but as a celestial force.

​Nearby, Subash's sacrifice was the most gruesome. His body literally shattered, his flesh and bone dividing into 192 individual pieces. Just as his consciousness began to fade into the abyss, Goddess Kali manifested. She wove his pieces back together with threads of darkness, granting him the Nightmare power. He was now a living shadow.

​The Return of the Eight

​Rudra stood at the mouth of the cave and waved his hand. From the Void Dimension, the five younger family members stepped out. During their time in the Void, the residual energy had changed them too—all eight members of the family had now awakened unique skills.

​They stood together, a small army of gods and demons, looking down at the path leading back to their village.

​Isha leaned against Rudra's shoulder, looking at the silver glow of the Himalayan moon. "Bava," she whispered. "I want our home to be like this. I want a moonlit peace for our family, free from the stench of demon blood."

​Rudra gripped his sword, his eyes glowing with the stolen light of time. "We will have that peace, Isha. But first, we must build a mountain of corpses The journey home took a spiritual detour to the Kamakhya Devi Temple in Assam. Beneath the shadow of the ancient temple, Rudra performed a forbidden ritual of power. His dedication summoned Goddess Varahi Devi, who appeared in a blinding aura of gold and red.

​She presented him with a sacred box containing the soul-essence o who To unlock this power, Rudra did not hesitate; he sacrificed another 15% of his soul. His total soul-count was dwindling, but his raw power was becoming unimaginable.

​The Village of Silence

​When the group finally reached their village in Srikakulam, the air didn't smell like the sea—it smelled like iron and rot. The village of Gotta had been transformed into a massacre site. Blood didn't just spill; it streamed through the dirt paths like a rising river. There wasn't a single soul left alive.

​Suddenly, the lead demon who had survived the train encounter stepped out from behind a ruined hut, laughing at the carnage. Rudra fell to his knees, his hands clutching the blood-soaked earth.

​"My fault..." Rudra choked out, tears streaming down his face. "If I hadn't left... if I hadn't sought power... they would still be alive. I am the one who killed them!"

​Isha's Supernova

​Seeing the man she loved broken and weeping ignited something primal in Isha. Her grief turned into a white-hot cosmic furnace. She didn't just move; she shattered the laws of physics.

​Harnessing cosmic energy to its limit, Isha accelerated to 5x the speed of light. The world around her turned into a blur of frozen time. With a single, earth-shattering punch, she struck the demon. The impact was so great that the demon's body didn't just break—it disintegrated into atoms before it could even realize it was being attacked.

​The Dark Mode

​Isha rushed to Rudra and hugged him tightly. "Don't be sad, Rudra! This isn't your fault! We will make them pay!"

​But as she held him, Rudra's energy changed. His skin turned cold, and his eyes shifted into a terrifying, endless Dark Mode—pitch black without a trace of white. He let out a primal scream that tore through the atmosphere. The sonic waves of his voice traveled faster than light, leveling the remaining ruins of the village and shaking the very foundations of the earth.

​He was no longer just Rudra. He was becoming the nightmare he was meant to be.

​Exile to Vijayawada

​The village was gone. There was nothing left to protect. Taking the seven family members, Rudra traveled south to the city of Vijayawada. They sought anonymity in the crowded, narrow streets of I-Peta. They rented a small house, a quiet hideout where they could sharpen their skills and plan the total annihilation of the demon kingdom.

​In the heart of I-Peta, the air was hot and the streets were loud, but inside their home, a cold, divine vengeance was brewing.to reach it." What is inside the box
