Temple of Time.
Returning to the inner depths of the temple, 'it' immediately set about preparing the 4th Singularity.
The 1st Singularity was a simple escalation of military force.
The 2nd Singularity sought to incite internal discord by complicating the distinction between friend and foe.
The 3rd Singularity prepared for certain annihilation through the application of a curse...
As for the 4th Singularity, it was a deviation that even the Demon God King, its designer, viewed as heterodox.
