The forest of Karnataka had finally become peaceful again.
Shiva continued protecting the sacred land with the blessings of Panjurli.
Beside him now stood a surprising ally.
The once-ruthless leader Thomas Shelby.
After the divine vision, Thomas Shelby and his brothers had become followers of the forest spirits.
But one night something extraordinary happened.
A strange golden light appeared above the forest.
The wind stopped.
Animals bowed their heads.
Even Shiva felt a powerful energy he had never felt before.
Thomas Shelby looked at the sky and whispered,
"Another spirit?"
Shiva shook his head slowly.
"No… this is something greater."
Suddenly lightning flashed across the sky.
From the center of the light, a gigantic divine figure slowly appeared.
It was Gulugia, the forgotten guardian of cosmic balance.
The forest trembled as the god spoke.
"My children," the voice echoed across the mountains.
"For centuries I watched the world from silence."
"But now darkness rises again."
The ground glowed with sacred symbols.
Even the spirit of Panjurli appeared beside Shiva.
For the first time, the ancient forest spirit bowed slightly.
This showed how powerful Gulugia truly was.
Thomas Shelby stepped forward cautiously.
"Why appear now?" he asked.
The divine figure looked down at him.
"Because the world is about to change."
Gulugia raised one glowing hand.
Suddenly the sky opened like a vision.
Everyone saw terrifying scenes:
Cities burning.
Oceans rising.
Armies fighting across the world.
A global war that could destroy nature itself.
Shiva understood immediately.
"The war of the world…"
Gulugia nodded.
"Yes."
"The Third World War is coming."
"But the forest of Kantara is the key to stopping it."
Thomas Shelby clenched his fists.
He had fought many wars before.
But now he was fighting for something different.
For the first time in his life, he was fighting for peace.
Gulugia continued speaking.
"Three powers must unite."
"The guardian of the forest."
"The warriors of the outside world."
"And the divine protector."
The golden light surrounded Shiva and Thomas Shelby.
"You will lead them," Gulugia said.
"Together."
The wind began blowing again.
The forest came alive with energy.
Shiva looked at Thomas Shelby.
"Are you ready for this?"
Thomas adjusted his cap and gave a small smile.
"We Shelby men always finish what we start."
Above them the sky thundered.
The age of a new war had begun.
But this time…
The guardians of Kantara, the warriors of Peaky Blinders, and the divine power of Gulugia would stand together.
