Vish had already departed from his planet towards Earth.

On the other side, Dev, Zaid, Aman, Abrar, and Nidhi were all searching around the market and nearby areas to find the man whom Zaid had seen outside the school. At the same time, they had also started suspecting Rehman and Prem Sir. So now, apart from looking for that man, they were also waiting for Rehman and Prem.
Meanwhile, Altamash also set out for the market in search of them, accompanied by Rehman and Prem. No matter what, Altamash had to find them today.
Vish too had set off for Earth. All these things seemed to be leading toward the beginning of a great disaster.
Dev, Zaid, Aman, Abrar, and Nidhi had been wandering in the market for quite some time now. They hadn't found the man, nor had they seen Prem or Rehman. So they all decided to rest again at the same café where they had met earlier.
They were beginning to lose hope, each trying to figure out the situation in their own way, but nothing made sense.
Meanwhile, Vish had arrived on Earth. He went straight to the place where the others had once stayed—a place Altamash had also reached while tracking them.
Vish hoped that he might find some clue from their companions that would make the search easier. But when he reached the location, he found it in ruins—completely destroyed, as if a storm had passed through. There was no sign of anything living.
Vish's companions were equally shocked. One of them stepped forward and asked, "What could have happened here? Just two days ago, some of our people returned from this place and everything was fine. But now, it looks like a battlefield."
Vish, observing the area intently, said, "This is definitely his doing. No one else on Earth knows about our special base, nor can anyone else defeat all our people at once. Right now, only Altamash could have done this."
"Altamash again! He and his people are constantly in our way—and worse, we can't even find them!" one of Vish's companions said angrily and with hatred.
Vish looked at him and replied, "Don't worry. If my guess is right, then he's still in this city—and so are his people. This time, I won't let him get away. We'll find the Successor too and end Altamash once and for all."
The same person asked Vish again, "But how will we find him in such a big city? He eliminated our people in a place where there were no witnesses."
Vish closed his eyes and began to concentrate. "Sometimes, people like Altamash leave behind things not to be seen—but to be felt, like energy," he said.
His words confused his companions. One of them asked again, "He's killed many of our people before, but no one has sensed his energy—that's why he was never caught. How will you detect it now?"
Vish didn't like the question. He glared at them with such fury that they all trembled in fear.
Then Vish said, "Those he killed were no ordinary soldiers. They were warriors of darkness and shadows—my warriors. They held fragments of my power, which I am now reclaiming. Even though they are gone, my energy is not. Once it returns to me, so will all their memories."
As soon as Vish said this, black energy began to rise from the ground and enter his body. Slowly, the events of what had happened began to play out before his eyes.
Through his fallen comrades' memories, Vish saw Altamash. One after another, the warriors attacked him, but Altamash remained unaffected. His power was far beyond anything they had imagined. Then they all attacked together with their full strength, but even that didn't work. Altamash defeated all of them in a single blow. They all fell at once. Before leaving, Altamash destroyed the entire area and made his enemies disappear.
Soon, Vish had absorbed all the energy. He also detected traces of Altamash's energy from it. Then he did something that shocked everyone present.
Vish's shadow changed form into a circular ring and then spread out in all four directions in an instant. His shadow moved through the entire city at the speed of wind. As it brushed past every shadow, it also passed through Altamash's shadow—who was at that time in the market searching for Zaid. The moment it touched his shadow, Vish sensed Altamash's energy and instantly knew where he was.
But as his shadow moved a little further and touched another person's shadow, it disappeared. Vish's concentration broke. It felt as though he had seen something terrifying. His breath quickened, and his body started trembling. One of his companions held him and asked what he had seen.
Vish replied in a panicked yet excited voice, "He's found! He's found!"
His companion asked, "You found Altamash's energy?"
Vish roared, "I'm not talking about him!"
"Then who?" the companion asked again.
This time, Vish smiled and said, "The Successor. The successor of 'Infinite Energy' has been found. Only he possesses the power to erase the shadows."
"Let's go quickly—if we lose him now, it'll be a huge disaster." With that, they all rushed away from the place.
