It's worth noting that Slick destroyed the clock with his trusty anti-time crowbar.

Now, the clock hasn't been shown to possess any time-manipulation abilities, but it is, y'know, a clock. I'd say the odds are fairly high that it qualifies as a temporal artifact, but I have no idea what it would actually mean to 'negate its effect on the timeline'. I doubt it's going to nullify Vriska's death judgement, but it might make things more complicated.

To be honest, the Crowbar's continued presence in the story is a little ominous. It was fairly benign in the low-stakes world of the Intermission, where the worst it would do was bully Eggs, but Homestuck is an entirely different ball game. This story is lousy with powerful time artifacts, and the consequences of nullifying them could be disastrous. What would happen, for example, if someone used it to break the Scratch Construct? Or - gods forbid - Skaia?
