The Hooded One's voice dropped lower.
"It never possessed the power to directly intervene in events. The Godkings would never have allowed something like that to exist."

"But the universe was dying. Half its fundamental structure had been torn away, countless worlds reduced to debris, the very fabric of reality unraveling."
A breath, heavy with old pain.
"So it made a choice that changed everything."
The doubled voice became quieter but somehow carried more weight.
"Time and Space worked together, combining their newly granted power to achieve something that should have been impossible."
Thump thump thump
Damian listened, his heart still hammering.
'Don't tell me they–'
"They brought back the timeline."
