Synopsis for "Builders"
The Illuminati, minus Black Bolt, convene at the incursion site, and agree that their only choice is to use their device to destroy the other world. Before they can do this however, an Aleph from the other universe arrives and tells them that his masters wish to speak with them. The Illuminati agree, and are brought before the Builders of the other universe, who inform them that they know about the incursions and have resolved to destroy every Earth in the multiverse, hoping that this will stop or at least slow the incursions. They also reveal the fact that Strange's mind has been tampered with, and tell them that if they have the means to destroy their own world, they should not wait any longer.
Meanwhile, Thanos' forces pierce Wakanda's defenses, as Thanos himself descends on the Necropolis. There he uncovers the Illuminati's hidden weapons cache and their prison containing Black Swan and Terrax. Proxima Midnight asks if Thanos wishes to free the prisoners to wreak havoc on the Illuminati, a question which Black Swan repeats to him. Thanos considers the matter for a moment, staring at the Black Swan as he thinks, and decides to keep them caged.
As the Builders destroy the other Earth, Illuminati return to their home.
