Yes, though I like Atul's suggestion of him scrying into the future, this version is more dramatic (if not oddly familiar):
Mysterio, the only man who can withstand the gaze of a gorgon, happening upon the mortally wounded Mysteria who lay dying on the battlefield after the defeat of her veteran pretender god allies, vows to avenge her defeat and restore her to life. Using arcane magicks, Mysterio travels back into time to detroy the ancestors of the noob pretender gods and their armies to ensure that they will never be born and thereby prevent the death of his beloved consort Mysteria.
