Wanda fought Amora, who revealed her plan to merge the Nine Realms and install a powerful king, and was nearly overwhelmed. Remembering Michael’s faith in her, Wanda broke through her limits and unleashed immense Chaos Magic, leaving Amora helpless before her power.

• Amora tried another spell, but Wanda’s surging magic swallowed her defenses and drowned out her screams.

Wanda’s sudden surge of Chaos Magic wiped out Amora, Executioner, and the creatures on the battlefield, though Wanda did not know how she had done it. In Vanaheim, Michael sent Dr. Jane Foster back to Earth and faced Malekith, blocking the Dark Elf’s Aether attacks before preparing to counterattack.

• Sif supported Eitri’s choice, and the Dwarf King invited Michael to see Uru.

• Eitri showed Michael and the Asgardian warriors Nidavellir’s forge and explained how Odin’s enchantment and the World Tree’s magic gave Uru weapons divine power.
