Pinned to the new Yggdrasil, Thor Odinson sacrifices his left eye to the World Tree for the knowledge to defeat Malekith, but it's not enough. He begs Yggdrasil not to take the last shard of Mjolnir, but reluctantly allows the tree's stellar flames to claim it. In return, Yggdrasil grants him a way to stop Malekith: find more Thors.

Billions of years in the future, Frigg Wodendottir reads these events from a book to her sisters Atli and Ellisiv, the latter noting that they now know how their grandfather lost his eye and grumbling that she can't believe he never told them this tale before. Atli asks what happened next, Frigg incredulously responding that Thor's "fantastic allies" travelled through time to the distant future in order to retrieve an old ally. As soon as she finishes reading this, a time-portal opens and Reed Richards and the Thing step through. Before the Goddesses of Thunder can attack the intruders, All-Father Thor greets the two Fantastic Four members and says he's been waiting for this day for millennia.

In the present, the present day Thor Odinson and All-Father Thor stand in the ruins of Asgard. The Present Day Thor explains the situation with Malekith to his future self, saying they need more Thors to defeat Malekith. Recalling their battle against Gorr the God-Butcher, All-Father Thor agrees - noting that with his missing eye, prosthetic arm, and beard Present Day Thor is starting to resemble him. As the Young Thor from the sixth century approaches and boasts that he's ready for battle, All-Father Thor laments the return of his youngest self. As his older and younger selves bicker, Present Day Thor tries to get them to stop arguing by reminding them that they did great things working together. Jane Foster agrees, revealing she has regained her Thor powers by claiming Ultimate Mjolnir - though it is unstable and trying to tear itself apart again. The Thor Corps set out to take down Malekith, while on Midgard their allies continue to fight Malekith's forces.

In Manhattan, Iron Man, the Punisher, She-Hulk, Logan, and Spider-Man combat the last of Laufey's Frost Giants. As a Frost Giant roars that they'll never take Midgard back, Captain Marvel crash-lands Queen Sindr behind him and decapitates him with the Twilight Sword, asking where Laufey is. Confronting the Frost Giant King alongside Black Panther, Lady Sif, and the Thing, Captain America tells Laufey to surrender as his allies have been defeated. Sneering that he never had any allies, Laufey pulls out the Casket of Ancient Winters and eats it. His powers immeasurably augmented, Laufey exhales a torrent of cold air that threatens to freeze the heroes of Midgard solid. Protected by Hofund's divine magic, Daredevil challenges Laufey in the name of Hell's Kitchen.

At Stonehenge, Malekith hears the Thor Corps approaching and augments his acolytes with the Venom symbiote -- bonding to it in emulation of Knull and Gorr. Freyja tells Malekith that he's lost the war and should flee while he still can, but the dark elf warlord cheerfully states that the War of the Realms was his proudest accomplishment, eclipsed only by the impending death of Thor.
