• Brix urged Master Solus to let the family start eating the Vampire Spider-Man he had captured.

The Inheritors gathered for a feast, arguing over which captured Spider-Man was the most valuable prey.

Deathstroke predicted the Inheritors would attack the remaining Spider-Men, and a tall, muscular figure emerged from a purple portal as he waited to intervene.

• Deathstroke and Gwenpool waited under Invisibility Magic for the predicted raid, and a tall, muscular figure stepped through a purple portal in the underground garage.

• Daemos defeated and drained Captain Universe Spider-Man, leaving him severely wounded and unconscious.
• Deathstroke stepped in to draw Daemos away from the remaining Spider-Men, then smashed him into a wall with his staff and shocked him with its electrified end.

Deathstroke exploited Daemos’s weakness to titanium alloy and dragged him into space to fight, while the defenders on Earth-13 watched and discussed their unlikely ally. The battle continued in the Andromeda Nebula, where Deathstroke demanded to know why Daemos was stronger than he remembered.

• Deathstroke hurled Daemos onto an asteroid in the Andromeda Nebula and challenged him to explain his increased strength.

• Daemos revealed his strength and rapidly healed as Deathstroke attacked him with the Titanium Alloy Staff and Godslayer.
• Deathstroke outmaneuvered Daemos in close combat while Strangle drained him, and Daemos’s red energy weakened.
• Deathstroke killed Daemos with the Nightfall Greatsword, then sent the frozen corpse into a star in Andromeda.
• Deathstroke answered Daemos’s earlier question by saying he was the Deathstroke ringing in his ears.
• Deathstroke returned to the Spider-Men and claimed he had sent Daemos away to repent, earning their gratitude and prompting them to doubt Gwenpool’s warnings about him.

Deathstroke won the stranded Spider-Men’s trust by praising their ideals and feeding them, while Gwenpool complained that his performance made her look bad. He waited to rescue Superior Spider-Man’s team until several expendable members died, planning to use the aftermath to recruit the remaining Spider-Men.

• Deathstroke appealed to the Spider-Men’s belief in responsibility and refusing to kill, and they accepted him as a partner of justice.
• Deathstroke handed out hot pots and soda, improving the hungry Spider-Men’s morale and earning more gratitude.
• Gwenpool asked Deathstroke why he had not given her a script, and blamed Wong for watching her make a fool of herself.

• Deathstroke admitted that he wanted a few members of Superior Spider-Man’s team to die before he rescued them, so he could undermine Octo-Parker and recruit the survivors.
• Deathstroke noticed Cindy Moon among the Spider-Men and decided to speak with her because she was a special totem.

Deathstroke spoke with Silk about her suspicions that Superior Spider-Man was not Peter Parker and offered a way to restore Peter’s soul. Silk signed a contract linking their stories, and it left the agreement in effect as Spider-Ham and Gwenpool joked nearby.

• Deathstroke and Spider-Ham noticed Silk was troubled, and she asked Deathstroke what he knew about Earth-616.
• Silk told Deathstroke she suspected the Spider-Man in Peter’s body was not Peter because their usual attraction no longer affected her.
• Deathstroke said he could help exorcise the body and return Peter’s soul on Earth-616, in exchange for a connection between their stories through the Inner Planes.
• Silk signed Deathstroke’s contract without reading it, and the Vishanti’s holy emblem appeared to witness the agreement.
• Spider-Ham and Gwenpool joked about Silk and Peter’s past intimacy while Silk’s contract took effect.

Superior Spider-Man's team struggled to persuade Peter Parker and his family to leave their home in Earth-982, while the group debated how to retrieve the Scion Totem. Their delay ended when the Inheritors surrounded the house through Temporal Portals.
