Sagathevan: Sakthivel... Did you find anything about Devi?
Sakthivel: No... I didn't find any clues.
Nagulan: Then, what about Indhiran? Do you suspect him?
Sakthivel: No... I don't think Indhiran is the kidnapper. But he is hiding something.
Sagathevan: Then, who was the kidnapper?
Nagulan: We don't know that either. How many days have passed on Earth?
Sagathevan: Maybe two days.
Sakthivel: We can't figure that out because, according to Devaguru, time may flow differently here.
Nagulan: Sakthivel, come with me.
Sakthivel: Where?
Nagulan: To meet Devaguru.
(Then, Nagulan, Sagathevan, and Sakthivel go to meet Devaguru.)
Nagulan: Devaguru.
Devaguru: Yes, Nagulan?
Nagulan: I have a question. How many days have passed on Earth since we came to this place?
Devaguru: Not too many.
Sagathevan: Ohh, thank God.
Devaguru: Yeah... three months.
Nagulan: (shocked) What?
Sagathevan: Are you serious?
Devaguru: Yes, I am.

On Earth
Manthagini: Elanguvan Sir.
Special Crime Officer Elanguvan: Yes, Manthagini. Did you find any trace of Sakthivel, Nagulan, Devi, and Sagathevan?
Manthagini: No trace, sir. I investigated all the areas they could have gone to, and I also checked the CCTV cameras. Nagulan and Sagathevan entered Sakthivel's house. After that, no one left the house, and no one entered it either.
Special Crime Officer: Hmm...
Manthagini: Could something have happened to them? Like dea—
Special Crime Officer: Stop! That's not possible. You already know Sakthivel. He is an egoistic psychopath.
Manthagini: Yeah, I know. But...
Special Crime Officer: Don't think too much, Manthagini. He will come back.
Manthagini: Okay, sir.

In Devalokam
Nagulan: Devaguru, we have to find Devi as soon as possible.
Devaguru: Hmm...
Sakthivel: Wait a minute...
Sakthivel: Ayavanth told us about Nizharasan. Who is he?
Devaguru: He is one of the Devans—the one who escaped from Ayavanth during the Devargal versus Ayavanth war. He has always wanted the throne of Indhiran.
Sakthivel: "I am your king." Got it.
Sagathevan: What, Sakthivel?
Sakthivel: That must be Nizharasan.
Nagulan: We have to find him.
Sakthivel: Devaguru, do you know where he is?
Devaguru: That was... Hmm... That...
Sakthivel: What happened, Devaguru?
Devaguru: Nothing. I don't know where he is, Sakthivel. Sorry.
Sakthivel: It's okay.
Devaguru: I have to go. I believe you will find Devi.
(Then, Devaguru leaves the place.)
Sagathevan: What just happened to him?
Sakthivel: Indhiran and Devaguru are hiding something from us.

Somewhere in Space
(Devi is trapped inside a prison.)
(Devi slowly regains consciousness.)
Devi: Where am I?
Devi: Who kidnapped me? Is anyone here?
Devi: I have to leave this place quickly. There is no point in waiting for someone to rescue me. I have to use my powers.
(Devi begins to use one of her techniques.)
Devi: The Wisdom of Stone and Sand... The Erupting Volcano!
(Nothing happens.)
Devi: What happened to my powers? Why can't I use them?
Voice: YOU WILL NOT!
Devi: Who are you?
Nizharasan: I am Nizharasan, the future King of Devalokam.
Devi: Ohhh, you are the one Ayavanth told us about.
Nizharasan: That's me. Tell me, what else do you know about me?
Devi: The other things are... You escaped from Ayavanth. You sent a human to defeat a god—which was such a stupid thing to do. Then, you didn't have the guts to go to Devalokam because of Indhiran. Are you afraid of him? Wooow... And finally, you don't have the guts to fight a woman.
Nizharasan: (shouting) ENOUGH! You talk too much!
Devi: What are you going to do to me?
Nizharasan: I kidnapped you so that the other new Devargals would come to me. Once they arrive, I will use this.
(Nizharasan shows her the Kaaraga Asthram.)
Devi: What is this?
Nizharasan: Kaaraga Asthram.
Devi: Tamil, please.
Nizharasan: Kaaraga Asthram is already Tamil.
Devi: Ohhh...
Nizharasan: With this, I will kill all the new Devargals with one attack. After that, I will absorb their powers—and yours as well. Then I will be able to kill Indhiran. Finally, I will sit on the throne of Devalokam.
Devi: Don't dream too much. If Sakthivel comes for you, he will absolutely kill you.
Nizharasan: Hero introduction?
Devi: No. Egoistic, psychotic villain introduction.
Nizharasan: That's too much.
Devi: You will see once you meet him.
Nizharasan: Let's see. Now go to sleep.
(Nizharasan makes Devi unconscious again.)

In Devalokam
Nagulan: What are we going to do now?
Sakthivel: We must keep watching Indhiran and Devaguru. I will go and check on them.
Sagathevan: Okay. We'll wait here and watch to see if anyone comes.
Sakthivel: Okay.
(Sakthivel goes to gather information about Indhiran and Devaguru.)
(Indhiran is in his room when Devaguru enters.)
(Sakthivel secretly listens from outside the room.)
Devaguru: Indhira, how can you feel stress-free when your death is standing right in front of you?
Indhiran: Everything will happen according to fate, Devaguru.
Devaguru: I was just one step away from revealing the truth while talking to Sakthivel.
Indhiran: Did you tell him anything?
Devaguru: No.
Indhiran: Thank God.
Devaguru: But he will figure it out. And do you know anything about Nizharasan?
Indhiran: Yes. He kidnapped Devi.
Devaguru: Why didn't you tell me?
Indhiran: I thought you would tell Sakthivel.
Devaguru: Hmm... Do you know where he is?
Indhiran: He is somewhere between Sutala and Talatala, among the seven lower worlds.
Devaguru: Well, that's good news.
Indhiran: Why?
Devaguru: Nizharasan cannot come to Devalokam or any of the other upper worlds because he is trapped in Hell.
Indhiran: So what?
Devaguru: If he wants to come to the upper worlds, there is only one way. He needs the help of another Devan. Nizharasan is no longer a Devan. If he wants to become a Devan again, he needs to be recommended by another Devan. I don't think that's possible.
Indhiran: Yes...
Devaguru: Okay, I am leaving now. Don't do anything stupid.
Indhiran: Okay.
(Devaguru leaves Indhiran's room.)
(Sakthivel leaves the place.)
Nagulan: Did you find anything from them?
Sakthivel: I found a lot of information.
Sagathevan: What was it?
Sakthivel: Information that could help us kill Nizharasan.

In Nizharasan's World
(Nizharasan is practicing his techniques.)
(Suddenly, an evil Astra is fired from the entrance of his palace.)
Nizharasan: Where did that Astra come from?
(Nizharasan barely escapes the attack.)
Nizharasan: Who was that?
Voice from Outside: Ohhh, brother... I am really disappointed in you. How could you forget me?
(Someone's face begins to appear.)
Nizharasan: Pavithraasura?
Pavithraasura: Did you miss me?
