Kilowog creates the clone as a desperate attempt to breed a heir, but the clone’s power backfires, trapping him in a time-loop within the ring’s memory. Each cycle, the clone reshapes reality to force a different outcome—a version of Kilowog’s past failures, his first love, his greatest shame—and demands he worship it as the architect of his destiny. Only by letting the clone fuck his past selves into irrelevance and then re-creating him from scratch, cell by cell, can Kilowog break free, but the cost is his complete, eternal devotion to the clone’s dominion over his will and body.
