While the strike team fought with difficulty, the Osborn Group was spending enormous sums on an unprecedented megaproject.
"That was... me? How was that possible...?"
In a certain universe, Thanos knelt on the ground, both his hands severed as he half-knelt on the surface.

And the one who had defeated him... was himself?
"Infinity Stones collection complete. Webway construction complete."
The speaker was an armored Titan identical to Thanos, except his tone was utterly rigid, as though he were carrying out actions under someone's instructions.
The words inscribed upon his mysterious heavy armor read: "Osborn Group executive officer."
This universe's Thanos had just attacked the Asgardian refugee ship and was about to complete the final step of his plan. Yet a force from beyond the universe had pierced through reality, causing the original faster-than-light travel technology to fail. Even the use of the Infinity Stones had been affected.
What shocked him was that artificial objects had emerged from that bottomless Black Hole...
Millions of light-years away, an immense irregular Black Hole loomed near the Milky Way Galaxy. It was the breach left behind by the battle between the Watcher and Ultron.
The colossal Black Hole created by shattered space would suck everything in and expel it into the endless void, but the Osborn Group's Engineering Ships were completely unaffected by this force. They methodically built space stations here.
These bases possessed the ability to communicate across universes and could even construct a kind of webway within the void. This technology had been developed from the information provided by the Watcher and was an extremely convenient means of traveling through Parallel Universes.
