Race against time

The shattering of the tattered space brought Clarence and the monster in to the gap between timelines, the environment was like the vast nothingness of outer space, to just exist in this gap one needed to exert some energy and divinity to keep the traces of their own existence or they would fade into nothingness forgotten by everyone and anyone, it was a result of this peculiar environment that deities had to be anchored to a certain or multiple timelines to ensure they wouldn't be eroded by the nothingness.
