The robot Arch-E goes to the Wildebots as a representative of the Hulk offering peace. One of the Wildebots states that they kill people and have also joined forces with former Death's Head guards, why would the Hulk want peace with them. Arch-E tells how the Hulk made peace with the Spikes and even helped them return home to space. Arch-E then recounts how the Hulk came from a place called Earth where they called him a monster and he came and set all the people free. The Wildebot then comments that he now undertands why the Earth people are going to kill him. Arch-E is confused until the Wildebot shows the ship the Hulk arrived in announcing that it warp core was compromised.

The Hulk is too late though as the warp core explodes with the Hulk right by it. The Hulk shields Caiera from the explosion. She looks up and tells him she will never leave him. The explosion is immense and multiple scenes around the city are shown as the blast over takes people. One scene shows the Brood with children and she grabs one and heads up in the sky for safety. Elloe is in a ship returning to the city as she sees the explosion. She calls to her mother who tells Elloe it is too late to save her. Far away from the city, Hiroim and Korg see the explosion and Hiroim knows that it was the shuttle that exploded. Suddenly cracks form in the ground as the tectonic plates rupture and lava explodes from the ground. Korg notices that Hiroim's face has turned to stone where Hiroim says that the Shadow Elders are dead along with Caiera so her strength has passed to her. He says that it is tool late, the humans have managed to destroy the whole planet. Miek and Elloe arrive in their ship and throw out lines to get people to safety. Hiroim stays in the lava at first but Korg says that if he does not come with him, that he will stay also so Hiriom takes the line. Right behind that, the Brood arrives carrying a child in tow.

The Hulk sits in the burning rubble of the city, holding Caiera's body, thinking to himself. He realizes that he was the World Breaker all along but so were his 'friends" who sent him out into space on the shuttle. He looks down at Caiera's lifeless body and wants to die but the explosion just made him stronger, the strongest one there is. He then grabs a large rock and throws it, yelling to give them back. After screaming, he just kneels down. The ship comes and his friends walk out but the Hulk just tells them to leave him alone. The Hulk says that there is nothing left but Elloe mentions that Arch-E has a map of the whole universe in his brain. The Brood says that there is sure to be a place the Hulk would like to go. The Hulk and friends, along with other survivors, head out into space towards Earth, making weapons along the way.
