Battle of Time

Sub heading

In the great infinite of the Universe there were beings of great power. The Everlastings, most advanced civilization existing within the stars, achieved to reach control all that existed in the galaxy. The Creations as they called it were species of creatures than spanned eternity. Their abilities allow them to decide the life or death of entire universes, whether it’s their own or others across parallel universes.   

In their quest to reach perfection, they decided to send Time Stones to all the Creations, at specifics areas and times, knowing that only greatest and most passionate of the Creation could reach them. Those who find them were then brought into the Everlastings’ Arena to fight until death. The choice is simple: Win and see your most cherished desire be brought to reality. Lose and your worst fear would come to life for everything and everyone that ever mattered to you.

 
And so, started an Endless war inside the continuum known as the Battle of Time
