He meets Dr. Garfield Gar in a space station, who assigns him the colossal task of traveling back in time to eliminate Noah and his family during the biblical Flood, specifically targeting humanity while sparing the animals. As Vanjan embarks on this mission and successfully kills Noah and his kin, he anticipates a reset of history that will allow animals to flourish. However, his journey results in unforeseen consequences, leading to his own transformation and the realization that despite his actions, life on Earth endures.
