I warned you to stop. All you showed the universe was cruelty. But all flesh is grass, Kotturuh - even yours. The grass withers, but the word of the Time Lord Victorious? That endures forever! | „ |

After the Tenth Doctor was given a prophecy of his demise by a human psychic, the Doctor spiraled further into an emotional breakdown that caused him to snap and try to alter a fixed point in time by saving Adelaide Brooke, Yuri Kerenski and Mia Bennett from the destruction of Bowie Base One. Upon his success, he declared himself as the "Time Lord Victorious" and believed that, as the last Time Lord, he had the right to control the Laws of Time.
Brooke then commits suicide to stop him, much to his surprise. He then go back to his TARDIS, sad, angry and scared, wanting comfort. However, the TARDIS does not think so, she think it is time for him to learn a lesson, and the TARDIS then travels to the Dark Times, the early period of the universe.

His happiness doesn't last long, as the Kotturuh appears, killing all Andalians except one. Ambassador Chalskal then asks the Doctor and Brian to find Estinee, who was captured by the Kotturuh.
The Doctor and Brian followed her to Mordeela and watched as Hana Fallomax rescued her using a mining robot. The Doctor and Brian followed her again, meeting Fallomax. The Doctor agrees to make use a Lifeshroud, however soon discovered they only worked on Estinee due to her natural immunity.
He decided to reverse-engineer the Kotturuh's power and took Estinee and Fallomax with him back to Andalia, where he made two solutions, one to give the Kotturuh a lifespan, the other to simply wipe them out.
The Kotturuh used the influence they had over Estinee from her time on Mordeela to have her pilot the TARDIS forward in time to a date they'd appointed for the Doctor’s death and made her kill Fallomax. Estinee resisted their influence and used a gun to detonate her Lifeshroud, killing herself to protect the Doctor.
Infuriated by her death, the Doctor unleashed his virus to wipe out the Kotturuh by giving them a lifespan of fifteen minutes with the Doctor fully embracing his "Time Lord Victorious" persona again.

In this timeline, the Tenth Doctor reclaimed the title after refusing to sacrifice his life for Wilfred Mott as he did in The End of Time. Instead the Time Lord Victorious ruled the entire universe, believing himself to have "fixed a broken cosmos". His reign ends when he is assassinated by the Slitheen Family with a gun that prevents regeneration.
