Li Ge paused the Solar System’s assimilation to forge fifteen Rule Stones for Loki while Strange and others pursued their own plans across the worlds. As factions prepared for upheaval around Earth, Loki and Dr. Zola moved to exploit the Skrulls, and the Defenders strengthened their hold over Hell’s Kitchen.

• Li Ge agreed to trade fifteen full-strength Rule Stones for Loki’s Zombie World timeline and empty Infinity Stone shells, then left Wanda to control the assimilation formation as he returned to the main world with his allies.
• Li Ge gave Wanda the All-Encompassing Heaven Colored Lotus and explained how its fifteen seeds would control the Elemental Rule Stars and other Rule Stones as the Solar System’s assimilation continued.
• The Pantheon debated Li Ge’s power and the danger to the timeline, then chose to wait while Li Ge collected planets and studied a black hole before beginning to forge the fifteen Rule Stones inside it.
• Tony, the Avengers, the Mutants, and other factions prepared for Earth’s security as the Skrulls negotiated with the United Nations, while Strange and Christine began strengthening Christine’s lotus platform.
• Three versions of Strange combined their Time Stones to investigate the future, while Dark Strange pursued a way to resurrect Christine and learned of Li Ge’s role in another timeline.
• Li Ge’s clones monitored the wider conflict as Little Demon assimilated Hell, Loki expanded his Shadow Kingdom in the Demon Realm, and Loki traveled in disguise to the Skrull settlement to recruit Skrulls and observe Supergiant.
• Dr. Zola prepared a Founding Titan Serum, a vibranium body, and Regeneration Cradle technology so he could transfer his consciousness before the Skrull crisis escalated.
• Baron Zemo and Grant governed the Tower Reaching Heaven as Li Ge judged that Domain Realm advancement required understanding and effort, while the Defenders fought gangs and Eddie Brock and Venom joined them after teaming up with Frank.
