In the Western Ghats of Omega Earth's India, an ancient, lost city has been uncovered. Built by the Guardians several centuries ago, the "City of Flowers" is a multiverse nexus that has recently been powered up by agents of the VALORANT Legion. Agents of Alpha Earth's VALORANT Protocol however are concerned about the catastrophic consequences of an activation due to the city's Alpha counterpart being in ruins and the potential risk this poses to millions of people on Alpha. Such disastrous repercussions have fortunately not occurred yet despite Legion's success, though the Protocol continues to monitor the situation.
