-------------------------------------------------

The golden light continued to pour from Devara’s open palm, the infinite symbol rotating slowly at its center. Then, without warning, the light surrounding Shani changed.

A faint ripple passed through his body.

And suddenly, chains appeared.

They emerged from within the golden radiance itself, spreading across Shani’s body in every direction.

They were almost transparent, as though they had been forged from something that existed between the physical world and the unseen realm.

Yet under the divine light, every person present could see them clearly.

One chain wrapped tightly around Shani’s leg.

The same leg that had always caused him to limp.

Another chain had coiled around his eyes, crossing over them like an invisible restraint that prevented his gaze from reaching the world before him.

A third chain was wrapped around his neck.

More chains extended across his shoulders, arms and torso, disappearing into his body before emerging again elsewhere, as though they were woven through his very existence rather than merely placed upon it.

The entire gathering fell silent.

Surya Dev’s expression changed instantly.

"Devara..."

Sandhya stared at Shani in shock.

Chaya’s eyes widened as she looked at the chains surrounding her son.

Yama stepped forward slightly, his expression becoming serious.

"What are you doing?"

Even some of Shani’s wives looked frightened.

Neelima instinctively tightened her grip around Shani’s hand, while Dhamini stared at the chains with guilt and disbelief.

She had known about the curse, had lived with the consequences of it, but seeing its restraints manifested before her eyes was something entirely different.

Yami’s face became pale.

"Devara..."

She looked at her husband, worry filling her voice.

Devara, however, remained completely calm.

He looked at the chains surrounding Shani and smiled faintly.

"I was wondering whether I could actually see it."

Surya frowned.

"See what?"

Before Devara could answer, the divine concealment surrounding several figures in the arena suddenly disappeared.

The mortals did not understand what was happening, but the divine beings immediately recognized the change.

Lord Shiva appeared.

Beside him stood Goddess Parvati.

Lord Brahma and Goddess Saraswati also revealed themselves, their previously hidden divine forms becoming visible to those gathered.

A wave of astonishment moved through the arena.

But Shiva’s attention remained fixed upon Shani.

He looked at the chains.

Then he looked at Devara.

"The curse."

His deep voice carried through the silence.

"Those chains are the manifestation of the curses bound to Shani."

Everyone looked back toward Shani.

Shiva slowly raised his hand toward the transparent restraints.

"They are not ordinary chains. They are the visible expression of the curse that has been woven into his existence. The one around his leg is connected to the burden that has affected his movement."

"The chain around his eyes restricts his gaze, preventing him from freely looking upon those around him. The one around his neck represents another portion of the curse that binds his existence to its conditions."

Parvati’s expression became sorrowful as she looked at Shani.

Saraswati watched carefully, her eyes focused on the intricate structure of the curse.

Brahma’s gaze moved toward the golden infinite symbol glowing upon Devara’s palm.

"Devara has not summoned those chains."

He paused.

"He has revealed them."

The realization spread through the divine gathering.

Devara looked toward Brahma and gave a small nod.

"The curse was always there," he said. "It was simply hidden from ordinary sight."

Shani slowly raised his hand toward one of the chains near his chest.

His fingers passed through it.

There was no resistance because it was not truly physical.

Yet he could feel it.

He had felt it every day of his existence.

The burden.

The restrictions.

The invisible boundaries that had shaped the way he lived.

Yami stared at her brother, tears beginning to gather in her eyes.

"So all this time..."

Shiva nodded.

"Yes. The curse has been intertwined with him for so long that Shani himself has become accustomed to its presence."

Devara’s smile faded slightly as he looked at the restraints.

His gaze settled on the chain wrapped around Shani’s eyes.

"So this is what has been keeping him from looking at his own sister."

Yami lowered her eyes.

Shani remained silent.

Dhamini’s eyes filled with tears.

Devara slowly closed his fingers around the invisible air before him, as though he were preparing to grasp something that no ordinary hand could touch.

The golden infinite symbol on his palm became brighter.

The chains trembled.

A faint metallic sound echoed through the arena.

Clink.

Everyone heard it.

Devara’s eyes narrowed.

He had found the curse.

Now came the difficult part.

He had to find out whether Fate’s Favorite Child truly possessed the authority to break it.

The three chains binding Shani suddenly began to move.

At first, it was barely noticeable.

The transparent links trembled against his divine form, producing a faint metallic sound that seemed to come from somewhere beyond the physical world.

Then the chains began drawing toward Devara.

The chain around Shani’s leg stretched upward.

The chain binding his eyes followed.

The third chain around his neck began moving as well.

Their other ends slowly rose through the golden radiance surrounding Shani until all three converged toward the infinite symbol glowing upon Devara’s open palm.

Clink.

The first chain connected to the symbol.

Clink.

The second followed.

Then the third.

The instant all three were connected, the entire sky above the wedding arena changed.

The bright heavens darkened.

Clouds gathered from nowhere, spreading across the sky with unnatural speed.

The sunlight disappeared behind a vast darkness, and even the celestial flowers that had continued drifting through the air seemed to stop in mid-motion.

Every conversation died.

The musicians lowered their instruments.

The citizens stared upward in fear.

Even the gods became still.

Then a voice came from the heavens.

It was neither male nor female.

It did not sound like a voice belonging to any ordinary being.

It sounded as though the sky itself had spoken.

"WHO DARES TO PLAY WITH A CURSE?"

The words shook the entire arena.

Several children instinctively moved closer to their parents.

Warriors placed their hands upon their weapons, while the divine beings watched the heavens with complete attention.

Devara, however, remained where he was.

His palm was still raised.

The infinite golden symbol continued turning.

The three chains remained connected between Shani and Devara.

Then the voice spoke again.

But this time, something had changed.

The overwhelming authority in it suddenly became restrained.

Almost cautious.

As though whoever had spoken had sensed who was standing beneath the heavens.

There was a long silence.

Then the voice returned.

"Devara..."

The darkness above seemed to deepen.

"Why do you seek to break these three curses?"

The question echoed across the arena.

Everyone looked toward Devara.

Yami’s heart began beating faster.

Shani himself finally raised his head slightly, his expression filled with confusion.

He could feel the three curses being pulled toward Devara’s palm, yet he could not understand why the force behind them had suddenly addressed Devara personally.

Devara slowly looked toward the darkened sky.

His expression remained calm.

He could feel the immense presence watching him.

Whatever this entity was, it was not merely observing his actions.

It had noticed his attempt to interfere with something that had already been written into Shani’s existence.

Devara glanced at the three chains.

One bound Shani’s leg.

One restrained his eyes.

One constricted his neck.

Three curses. Three chains.

Three burdens that Shani had carried for years.

Then Devara looked toward Yami.

She was staring at her brother with tears gathering in her eyes.

He remembered what she had quietly told him.

’He cannot look at the people he loves.’

Devara’s gaze returned to Shani.

For a brief moment, he thought about how Shani had spent his entire life keeping his eyes lowered, even during the wedding of his own sister.

He then looked back toward the heavens.

"Why?"

The voice asked again.

"Why do you wish to interfere with what was placed upon him?"

Devara’s fingers slowly curled.

The golden infinite symbol brightened.

His answer came without hesitation.

"Because he is my family."

The arena became completely silent.

Devara’s voice remained calm, but there was unmistakable conviction behind every word.

"Because my wife’s brother has spent his life carrying these burdens, and today I learned that the very things preventing him from looking at the people he loves are not merely consequences of fate. They are chains."

His gaze hardened slightly.

"I am not trying to steal his destiny. I am not trying to erase who he is. I simply want to know whether those chains truly need to remain."

Shani’s eyes widened.

Yami covered her mouth, tears finally slipping down her cheeks.

Devara continued.

"If they cannot be removed, then I will accept that. If Fate itself says they must remain, then I will not force it."

He raised his palm slightly higher.

"But if there is even a possibility that he can live without them..."

The infinite symbol began shining brighter than before.

"...then I am going to try."

The heavens remained silent.

For several heartbeats, nothing happened.

Then the mysterious voice finally spoke again.

"You understand that breaking a curse woven into destiny carries consequences?"

Devara smiled faintly.

"I assumed it would."

"And you still proceed?"

Devara looked toward Shani.

Then toward Yami.

"Yes."

The darkness above them seemed to tremble.

The three Trimurtis exchanged another glance.

They knew what was coming.

Devara had not merely challenged a curse.

He had caught the attention of the force behind it.

And now the question was no longer whether Devara possessed the power to break Shani’s chains.

The question was whether Fate itself would permit him to do so.
