In the aftermath of the confrontation with Tempus, the Timeless Guardians returned to the Timekeeper's Citadel with heavy hearts. They mourned the loss of their enigmatic adversary, for they now understood that Tempus had once been a fellow guardian who had succumbed to the seductive allure of power.
As they gathered in the Great Hall, the Timeless Guardians reflected on the events that had led them to this point—the trials, triumphs, and sacrifices that had shaped them into the protectors they were today. Though Tempus was gone, the consequences of its actions lingered, and they knew that their duty to safeguard the continuum was far from over.
During their contemplation, a soft, ethereal glow enveloped the Great Hall. The Guardians turned their attention to a mysterious portal that materialized before them—a swirling vortex of shimmering light. It was unlike any portal they had encountered before, and they could sense its immense power and significance.
