As Shiva's Trishul struck the battlefield, a wave of pure, cosmic energy tore through time and space. The world froze, as if the universe itself had stopped breathing.
Every warrior—Pandava, Kaurava, Deva, Asura, and even the modern military—found themselves trapped in a moment between existence and oblivion.
🔥 Kurukshetra was no more.
Instead, they now stood in a void of swirling cosmic energy, where past, present, and future converged into one.
Krishna and Arjuna knelt before Shiva, their hands folded in reverence.
Kaali-Raaj, however, snarled in defiance. His once-human form had now fully transformed into a monstrous entity—his body wreathed in darkness, his eyes burning with hatred.
"You dare interfere, Mahadev?" he hissed. "This is MY war now!"
Shiva's eyes flashed with celestial rage.
"You are nothing but a parasite, Kaali-Raaj," he thundered. "A distortion of fate that should never have existed."
Kaali-Raaj roared, his power surging as he lunged toward the Destroyer of Worlds.
But before he could strike—
💥 Shiva raised his hand.
The sheer force of his will alone stopped Kaali-Raaj mid-air, locking him in place like an insect caught in amber.
Then, Shiva turned to Krishna.
"This war was meant to be one of Dharma versus Adharma," he said, his voice echoing through the void. "Yet time itself has been twisted, and the balance of the universe is at stake."
Krishna, his expression calm yet grim, nodded.
"This war must be corrected."
Shiva gestured to Arjuna.
"You have unleashed the Pashupatastra, but its purpose is not to destroy this battlefield—it is to restore what was lost."
Arjuna's eyes widened.
"What must I do?"
Shiva placed a hand over Arjuna's forehead, and suddenly—
💥 Memories flooded Arjuna's mind. 💥
He saw visions of the original Mahabharata, where events had played out as they were meant to. The war had been fought, but it had followed the path of destiny—without the interference of demons, gods beyond their time, or soldiers from the future.
Shiva's voice echoed in his mind.
"You must fire the arrow once more, but not at Kaali-Raaj. You must fire it into the fabric of time itself."
Arjuna clenched his jaw. He understood.
This wasn't just a battle anymore.
This was about resetting reality.
