Synopsis:

The last 5 surviving Earths are slowly merging together in limbo as the Antimonitor attempts to destroy them using a solar machine inside his fortress in the antimatter universe, which is causing the merging. The heroes are told the old multiverse's origins by Harbinger, and Pariah explains his role in the Crisis. The heroes then go to the antimatter universe to stop the machine,and are successful, but at a cost: Supergirl sacrifices her life fighting the Antimonitor, and damages his armor in the process forcing him to retreat and swearing vengeance. She is then given a heroes' eulogy and private funeral by Superman (Earth-1) her cousin. The earths are safe for now. To be continued...
