After Monarch was dissolved over its role in the Titan disaster, S.H.I.E.L.D. took control of its assets, leaving Ishiro Serizawa and his colleagues to pack up. Nick Fury recruited Serizawa and sought an alliance with the PPDC to build enlarged Titan Jaegers against Carl Mala and Thaddeus Ross.

• President Matthew Ellis pressured the Security Council to dissolve Monarch and transfer its outposts and assets to S.H.I.E.L.D.

• Nick Fury offered Ishiro Serizawa a S.H.I.E.L.D. department to manage Monarch’s assets and coordinate with the PPDC on building enlarged Titan Jaegers from Titan remains.

Nick Fury recruited Ishiro Serizawa to manage the Titan Jaeger Project, while General Ross celebrated his appointment as Secretary of State and mocked the disgraced William Stenz. In Alfheim, Loki prepared to sacrifice the Tree of Life and the elves to open the Eye of Terror and claim power for his revenge against Odin.

• Ross encountered the disgraced William Stenz at the Pentagon and told him that success depended on following the right person.
• Loki used his Frost Giant army to slaughter the elves of Alfheim and prepare a Chaos ritual around the Tree of Life.
• Loki completed the runes on the last elven elder, causing a blood-red vortex to form over Alfheim, and said that only the final step remained.

Loki set the Tree of Life ablaze to open the Eye of Terror, hoping to summon the Four Chaos Gods’ power and claim Asgard’s throne, while Thor tried to stop him. The Eye of Terror opened between Asgard and Alfheim, unleashing Warp energy, and The Ancient One detected the anomaly from Kamar-Taj.

• Thor arrived in the Realm of the Elves after Heimdall warned him of trouble, and urged Loki to abandon the ritual and return to Asgard.
• Loki rejected Thor’s offer of the throne and explained that visions of Ragnarok and the Four Chaos Gods had convinced him to take Asgard by force.
• Loki threw his torch onto the Tree of Life, and psionic flames burned its core as the Chaos Magic array drew in blood, life, and souls.
• A gigantic blood-red eye appeared in the burning canopy, its Chaos energy hurled Thor away, and Loki announced that he would lead daemons to conquer Asgard.
• The souls of tens of thousands of Elves were pulled into the Warp, and the Eye of Terror opened between Asgard and Alfheim, spreading Warp energy into nearby realms.
• The Ancient One sensed the anomaly in Kamar-Taj and used the Eye of Agamotto’s Time Stone to observe the past and future.

The Ancient One failed to see the future surrounding the Eye of Terror, while Thor brought Loki before Odin after the chaos engulfed Alfheim. Odin learned that the Warp was corroding the World Tree and threatened the Nine Realms, then imprisoned Loki, who believed events were unfolding according to his vision.

• The Ancient One traced the Eye of Terror's appearance but could not see its possible futures, so she decided not to seek out Carl unless Earth was threatened.
• Thor returned to Asgard with Loki after the Eye of Terror's chaotic energy disrupted the Bifrost, and Heimdall warned that it was changing planets and isolating the Nine Realms.
• Heimdall reported visions of Ragnarok and Asgard's fall, while Odin sensed that the Warp was corroding the World Tree and weakening the foundation of Odin's Power.
• Loki admitted that he had sacrificed the elves of Alfheim and opened the Eye of Terror as a rift to the Warp Dimension, then declared his intent to destroy Odin's order and claim the throne.
• Odin vowed to seal the Eye of Terror with the Cosmic Cube and ordered Loki imprisoned, while Loki privately celebrated that his vision was coming true and anticipated the show beginning.

Odin traveled to a corrupted planet and failed to seal the Eye of Terror with the Cosmic Cube, suffering a powerful backlash. He returned to Asgard and prepared to combine the Space Stone with the Bifrost for a direct attack on the Eye of Terror.

• Frigga urged Odin to reconsider imprisoning Loki and using the Cosmic Cube, but Odin insisted the Eye of Terror threatened the World Tree and went to Odin's Vault.
• Carl's plan with Tzeentch was revealed: they had created the Eye of Terror to frame Loki and lure Odin into a scheme to claim his treasures and soul.
• Odin arrived on a planet near the Eye of Terror and found its surface rapidly transformed into a living Daemon World by Warp energy.
• Odin tried to seal the Eye of Terror with the Cosmic Cube, but red and yellow lights scattered the Space Stone's power and its backlash injured him.
• Odin returned to Asgard, told Heimdall the sealing attempt had failed, and ordered him to aim the Bifrost at the Eye of Terror.
• Heimdall positioned the Bifrost, and Odin began channeling the World Tree's energy and the Cosmic Cube's spatial power into it.

Odin struggled to contain the Eye of Terror as Warp corruption and disrupted teleportation plunged the Nine Realms into crisis. After learning that Midgard remained unaffected, he considered sending Thor there for help, but Heimdall reported that the Reavers had attacked Vanaheim.

• Odin and Heimdall's combined attack failed to affect the Eye of Terror, and Odin rejected Heimdall's suggestion to seek Zeus's help.
• The Eye of Terror disrupted the Bifrost and the Space Stone across the Nine Realms, while Warp corruption caused mutations and turmoil in the other realms.
• Heimdall reported that Midgard was the only unaffected realm still safely connected to Asgard.
• Frigga suggested that the Sorcerer Supreme or the mysterious Dimensional Demon might be protecting Midgard, and urged Odin to send Thor there for help.
• Heimdall announced that the Reavers had launched an attack on Vanaheim.

Odin used dark energy to send Asgardian warriors to defend Vanaheim while Thor traveled to Midgard to find a way to halt the Eye of Terror’s corruption. The dangerous transport left Odin gravely weakened, and the Ancient One praised Wanda’s remarkable progress in magic.

• Heimdall warned that the Reavers were attacking Vanaheim, and Odin promised to send warriors while assigning Thor to stop the Eye of Terror’s corruption on Midgard.
• Odin refused Frigga’s plea to rest and decided to use dark energy to transport Sif, the Warriors Three, and other Asgardian warriors to Vanaheim.
• Odin channeled dark energy through Gungnir, sending the warriors into a perilous spatial journey and worsening his injuries.
• Heimdall reported that nearly half the warriors, including Sif and the Warriors Three, had reached Vanaheim and begun fighting the Reavers, while Thor had arrived on Midgard.
• At the Sanctum Sanctorum, the Ancient One praised Wanda for mastering advanced magic through self-study and meditation.

The Ancient One explained the Infinity Stones and warned Wanda that Loki had caused a cosmic catastrophe tied to Carl, asking her to persuade Carl to help protect Earth. Thor arrived at the New York Sanctum seeking aid against the Eye of Terror, but the Ancient One said Kamar-Taj had not stopped its Chaos energy and admitted Earth’s safety was due to someone else.

• The Ancient One showed Wanda the Time Stone and recounted how the Infinity Stones had been involved in the Battle of New York and the Greenwich disaster.
• The Ancient One told Wanda that Loki had caused an unprecedented catastrophe connected to Carl and asked her to persuade Carl to act when the time came.
• Thor arrived at the New York Sanctum and met the Ancient One and Wanda.
• The Ancient One said she knew Thor had come because of the Eye of Terror and that Kamar-Taj was unfamiliar with the Warp and its Chaos Gods.
• Thor learned that Kamar-Taj had not protected Earth from the Chaos energy and asked whether the Ancient One still had a way to resist it.

Thor sought The Ancient One’s help against the Chaos corruption spreading through the Nine Realms, but she sent him to Carl Mala instead. Carl agreed to consider helping only if Asgard gave him the Cosmic Cube and Bifrost technology, leaving Thor stunned by the demand.

• The Ancient One refused to lend Kamar-Taj’s Sanctums to protect the Nine Realms and advised Thor to seek Carl Mala in Sokovia.
• Wanda restrained Thor for insulting Carl, then released him after he apologized and opened a portal to the Warp Group Building.
• Thor told Carl about the Eye of Terror and asked whether Carl had stopped Chaos energy from corrupting Midgard; Carl confirmed it with a nod.
• Carl rejected Thor’s appeal to repay Asgard for the Battle of New York, pointing out that Loki had caused both crises.
• Thor offered an alliance on Asgard’s behalf, but Carl demanded the Cosmic Cube and the technology used to build the Bifrost as the price of his help.
• Thor refused the demand, explaining that the Cosmic Cube and Bifrost were vital to Asgard, while Carl insisted he had no need to bargain if he wanted to destroy Asgard.

Carl Mala persuaded Thor that the Warp corruption threatened all the Nine Realms and demanded the Bifrost technology and Cosmic Cube in exchange for his plan. Odin rejected Carl’s terms, but news that Malekith and Algrim had emerged from the Eye of Terror with a mutated Dark Elf army to attack Jotunheim left Asgard facing a dire crisis.

• Carl told Thor that Warp corruption would become irreversible and that the Nine Realms could not be saved without cooperation, then claimed he was the former Lord of the Warp Dimension.
• Thor returned to Asgard and told Odin about Carl’s demands and identity, while Frigga described visions linking Loki and four evil gods to the realms’ destruction.
• Odin offered the Bifrost technology but withheld the Cosmic Cube, and Thor returned to say Carl had rejected the proposal.
• Heimdall reported that a mutated Dark Elf army was massacring Frost Giants on Jotunheim and identified its leaders as Malekith and Algrim.
• Heimdall said the Dark Elves had emerged from the Eye of Terror, and Odin blamed Carl for the crisis.

Odin sent Thor and more than three hundred Asgardian warriors to Jotunheim to confront Malekith’s Chaos Dark Elves, despite Odin’s worsening condition. Thor gained the upper hand in battle, but Malekith summoned Nurgle’s power and raised the dead as plague zombies.

• Thor persuaded Odin to send him to Jotunheim, and Odin teleported the Asgardian force there before collapsing from the strain.
• Odin told Frigga that he was nearing death and wanted to resolve the crisis and prepare Thor to rule before he died.
• Thor’s warriors arrived in Jotunheim, where Malekith claimed the Four Gods had given him a second life and launched his Chaos Dark Elves into battle.
• Thor unleashed his awakened power to destroy many Chaos Dark Elves and turn the battle in the Asgardians’ favor.
• Malekith invoked Nurgle, and tens of thousands of dead Frost Giants, Frost Beasts, and fallen Asgardians rose as Nurgle Plague Zombies.

Thor and the Asgardian Warriors faced Malekith’s plague-ridden forces in Jotunheim, where Nurgle’s disease wiped out Thor’s companions and Malekith proved too powerful to defeat. Odin pulled Thor back to Asgard and, with the Nine Realms threatened by Chaos, agreed to Carl Mala’s demands if he would help save them; Thor set out to secure that promise.

• Thor discovered that Nurgle’s plague could torment souls and kill Asgardians even though his own body was immune to its physical infection.
• Nurgle Plague Zombies overwhelmed Thor’s warriors, while the corpses Thor had smashed regenerated; the fallen warriors’ souls were taken into the Warp.
• Malekith, empowered by the Khorne Rune, swatted aside Mjolnir, and Odin used dark energy to retrieve Thor from Jotunheim.
• Frigga slapped Thor for risking his life, and Odin warned that Malekith might be beyond Thor’s strength while the Chaos invasion threatened the Nine Realms.
• Thor reported that Malekith had been resurrected by the four Chaos Gods, and Odin agreed to Carl Mala’s demands on condition that he help protect Asgard and the Nine Realms.
• Thor took the Cosmic Cube and the complete Bifrost design documents to Solvia, intending to secure a way to resist Chaos energy from Carl.

Malekith’s forces prepared to expand their control of the Nine Realms while Carl traded with Thor for the Cosmic Cube and Bifrost designs. Carl sent Thor back to Asgard with engineers and blackstone to build obelisks against Warp corruption.

• Algrim told Malekith that the ritual on Svartalfheim was transforming it into a habitable Daemon World, but Malekith ordered his forces to wait before expanding further.
• Thor confronted Carl about encountering Malekith on Jotunheim, and Carl claimed the Warp had resurrected Malekith after his suicide.
• Carl explained the Four Chaos Gods’ threat to Thor, who gave him the Cosmic Cube and Bifrost technical documents and promised to report leads on the Infinity Stones.
• Carl declined to devour the Space Stone in front of Thor and showed him blackstone supplies that could be used to suppress Warp corruption.
• Carl arranged for engineers and blackstone to accompany Thor to Asgard, where they would teach its craftsmen to build Blackstone Obelisks across the Nine Realms.
• Thor returned to Asgard through the Bifrost with the engineers and blackstone shipment.

Carl secretly used Asgard’s effort to build Blackstone Obelisks to prepare a network that could turn planets into Daemon Worlds, then devoured the Space Stone and studied how to build a Bifrost. Meanwhile, Thor infiltrated Svartalfheim and discovered that Malekith’s Dark Elves were forcing refugees to mine valuable ore for weapons and ships.

• Odin sent Thor, Asgardian craftsmen, and blackstone to build Blackstone Obelisks across the Nine Realms, unaware that Carl had designed them to anchor and amplify the Eye of Terror.
• Carl devoured the Space Stone, learned that dark energy powered the Bifrost while the Space Stone contained it, and planned a new Bifrost for the Celestial Realm No. 1 dimension.
• Malekith had turned Svartalfheim into a Daemon World and ordered Algrim and the Dark Elves to abduct refugees and force them to mine.
• Thor secretly entered Svartalfheim to investigate the Dark Elves after helping build obelisks across the other realms.
• Two Asgardian Warriors told Thor that the Dark Elves were mining ore to make weapons and spacecraft, and Thor recognized it as likely material for their Blade Warships.

Thor discovered that the Dark Elves were using the Warp to build ships from old wrecks and sent scouts to warn Asgard and Nidavellir. In Asgard, a plague ravaged the population and weakened Odin and Frigga, while unidentified demonic creatures attacked the medical wing.

• Thor saw Dark Elf transports hauling ancient shipwrecks toward a Warp rift and realized Malekith planned to rebuild ships inside the Warp.
• Thor ordered his scouts to split up and warn Odin and the Dwarf King, then fought three Chaos Cursed Warriors whose bodies resisted his lightning.
• The plague overwhelmed Asgard’s medical wing as Eir failed to identify the rapidly mutating viruses affecting patients’ organs and souls.
• Odin learned from Thor’s message that Malekith planned another attack and refused to enter Odin’s Sleep despite his worsening illness.
• The palace guard captain reported that unidentified demonic creatures had attacked the medical wing.

Odin discovered Nurgle’s plague spreading through Asgard Palace and ordered the infected quarantined, while Loki rejected Frigga’s offer of redemption and secretly possessed a physician. Loki used the physician to poison Odin, leaving the king infected and Gungnir powerless.

• Odin found two Nurgle Plaguebearers emerging from dead soldiers in the infirmary and destroyed them with Gungnir.
• Odin ordered blackstone obelisks built, the palace inspected, and plague victims burned if they did not recover.
• Loki mocked Frigga’s pleas to help banish the Eye of Terror and insisted he would take Asgard’s throne instead of Thor.
• Loki’s Nurgle blessing let him possess the infected physician Hamel, and he took Odin’s medicine to his bedchamber.
• Odin drank Loki’s poisoned medicine and blasted Hamel’s body apart, but black marks spread under his skin and Gungnir’s light went out.

Loki defeated Odin and seized the throne of Asgard, while Odin realized that Carl Mala had manipulated the crisis and Loki. After Loki spared Odin but exiled him with the dying Frigga, he disguised himself as Odin and proclaimed his rule.

• Loki ambushed the weakened Odin, severed his hand, and revealed his plan to kill him and claim Asgard's throne.
• Odin realized Carl Mala had orchestrated the corruption crisis and used Loki as a pawn, but Loki refused to believe him.
• Frigga rushed in to stop Loki, took his fatal strike meant for Odin, and made Loki promise not to kill his father.
• Loki sealed Odin's power with Tzeentch's mark, unknowingly binding his own soul to the Warp as well, then exiled Odin and Frigga.
• Loki took the throne, transformed himself into Odin, and proclaimed, "Make Asgard Great Again!!!"

Carl confronted Odin after Frigga died, forced him to sign a soul contract by threatening Thor and Asgard, and gave him a resurrection potion for Frigga. Odin injected it into her, and as he waited, a voice asked how he had died too.

• Odin mourned Frigga on a Norwegian cliff and cursed Carl, who appeared and revealed Loki’s magical seal had used his Warp power.
• Carl warned Odin that exposing the truth would have doomed Loki, Thor, Odin, and Asgard, then demanded Odin’s soul in exchange for sparing them.
• Odin agreed to Carl’s terms, and Carl formed a soul contract with him before explaining that he wanted Odin’s soul for a future plan.
• Carl gave Odin a Rapid Resurrection Potion and left through a portal, warning that Frigga might return as an ordinary person.
• Odin injected Frigga with the potion and waited beside her body until someone asked how he had died too.

Odin and Frigga adjusted to her resurrection on Midgard, while Thor and the Asgardians fought the Reavers on Vanaheim as Blackstone obelisks began reversing Chaos corruption. Thor forced the pirates to surrender, but nearly twenty ships escaped, and he pursued them with Mjolnir.

• Frigga awakened and learned that Carl Mala had revived her, but she discovered she had lost her magic and agreed with Odin to accept their changed circumstances.
• Sif and the Warriors Three protected the construction of Blackstone obelisks while battling Reavers on Vanaheim, and Sif observed the surrounding Chaos-corrupted vegetation recovering.
