With the planet utterly surrounded and on the verge of destruction, the [[President of the High Council]], [[Rassilon]], grew more desperate and refused to admit defeat. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') After [[the Visionary]] revealed two Time Lords would survive the coming fall, the Doctor and {{Simm}}, Rassilon devised the [[Ultimate Sanction]]. A link was forged with the future Master on Earth in [[2009]] by implanting a signal, a rythmn of four beats, in his mind as a child via the [[Untempered Schism]]. Rassilon then sent a [[White-Point Star]] to the Master to make the link physical, bypassing the time lock. With the signal inside him and six billion humans converted by the [[Immortality Gate]] into [[the Master Race]] to triangulate it, the Master made a connection with the Time Lords' signal. Rassilon planned to use this link to break Gallifrey out of the time lock, beginning a chain reaction which would tear the Time Vortex apart and destroy the universe entirely which would enable the Time Lords to ascend to beings of pure consciousness.

Before proceeding, Rassilon put the Sanction to the vote of the High Council. Only two opposed; [[The Woman (The End of Time)|the woman]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') and the [[Patriarch of Stillhaven]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lords and Masters (short story)|Lords and Masters]]'') Rassilon led a delegation to Earth, flanked by four Time Lords including the two opponents, who he had kneel in shame, where he confronted the Master and the [[Tenth Doctor]]. With the time lock broken, Gallifrey itself began to manifest above Earth which the Doctor warned was just the beginning; all the terrors of the war were descending. Rassilon revealed the full extent of the plan, to even the Master’s horror. The Doctor broke the connection by shooting the White-Point Star, sending the Time Lords and Gallifrey back to the Time War. The Master decided to take revenge on Rassilon for making him a monster and attacked him, being brought back into the War with him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') Rassilon's battle with the Master caused him to [[Regeneration|regenerate]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pandoric's Box (short story)|Pandoric's Box]]'') reportedly because the Master "shoved White Point Stars down his throat". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lords and Masters (short story)|Lords and Masters]]'')

To the rest of [[N-Space]], it looked as if the Time Lords had been destroyed as well, making it seem that the War had ended with the destruction of both factions. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') The [[Eye of Time]], which had been possessed by the Time Lords, was lost during the “Fall” of Gallifrey. The Eye later fell into the hands of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]]. ([[GAME]]: ''[[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'')

Some Daleks survived the destruction. One [[Metaltron|Dalek]] fell through time and crashed on Earth in the 20th Century. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') The Emperor’s flagship ended up in the distant future, crippled but with the Emperor himself still alive. Over the centuries he manipulated the [[Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire]] and rebuilt the fleet. It was exposed by the [[Ninth Doctor]] in [[200100|200,100]], resulting in the [[Battle of the Game Station]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'')
