This would destroy the universe as well, although a new universe would take its place. She hoped that with the current universe destroyed, the Beyonder would lose interest in it, and would at least not destroy the future universe.
Whereas if he continued on his present course, he would probably destroy not only the current universe but any future ones as well. It was a desperate gamble, to say the least. They all traveled to the Crystal.
"Within this energy shere is a Neutron galaxy, the ultimate black hole. Once it's unleashed, it will draw our entire universe down its gravity well, warping space and time as it casts all that matter and energy out into another dimension, creating the cosmos anew. We'll perish, but so, hopefully, will the Beyonder," Rachel revealed her plan to X-Men and all other people in their spirit form.
"No! Rachel, you cannot, you must not do this!" Storm argued with her in spirit form.
"You helped my mom, Storm, you gave yourself freely, why not now?" Rachel asked.
"We fought to heal, to save! For such a cause I would and shall, gladly give my life… And your mother eventually did," Storm answered her.
"Don't you understand? That's what I'm trying to accomplish! To give life another chance. To let everything start over… Without the omnipresent, the threat of the Beyonder tainting every moment. He means to destroy us anyway. At least, this way, our death will have meaning and purpose," Rachel revealed her suggestions.
"Suppose you are wrong, child? Have you considered the awful cost?" Storm again asked her and tried to stop her.
"I have no choice, I won't be stopped, Ororo, by you, or anyone!" Rachel said as she was going to destroy it.
"You always have a choice!" Ororo said. Rachel was just going to be destroyed, but after talking with Ororo, she realized that each individual life had infinite worth, and that she had no right to take that away. She returned them all to Earth.
"Everything depended on me, Ororo. But I failed, I failed," She started crying.
"Because you could not kill? Because you could not slaughter countless innocents?" Ororo consoled her.
"Now the Beyonder will. He'll destroy everything," Rachel said.
"And that infinite cost will be upon his conscience," Ororo said.
"What happened to us, Ororo? How 'd we all get back here?" Wolverine asked.
"Instead of shattering the sphere, Rachael cast herself out, restored the "borrowed" life-essences to their rightful bodies, and sent us safely home," Ororo explained.
"So we've lost?" Magneto agreed with her final choice, as he had earlier counseled mercy against the student who had tried to kill Xavier.
Then the Beyonder appeared. He said that he had offered them a chance to go out with a bang, implying that the M'Kraan gambit had not really been Rachel's idea, but his, but they had flubbed it.
"As your villains sometimes say: if you want a job done right you have to do it yourself. Well here I am. This is the end of your road, X-Men. I hope you plan to go down swinging, not that you have a prayer of winning but I really enjoy a good scrap. If not I'll terminate you where you stand," Beyonder said, now, they had to fight, or die; they all meant less to him than an amoeba, other than perhaps Rachel, who he called a "starsoul."
They argued, and Rachel returned the power he had given her. And he had absorbed it effortlessly. The X-Men tried to fight him back, but just like the New Mutants, he erased them.
He also gained more power, which Phoenix has. All that Phoenix experienced-the totality of life, in all its forms, in all its infinite glory-is now his.
In other words, the Beyonder learned the lesson that Phoenix learned about the infinite value of every individual life.
Instead of seeing them all as amoebas, he was forced to see that they each contained an infinity of their own, which were perhaps equal to his own, other kind of infinity.
But still he didn't hesitate from killing the X-Men. And instead of calming him, it makes him even more angry.
"I curse the moment I first stepped foot in this Multiverse! Erasing it from existence may not be enough, just the mere memory of it may prevent me from ever feeling complete again," Beyonder shouted as he flew in space and looked toward the Universe.
"its substance, its space, its denizens, its overlords, its conceptual beings, even death itself, will be erased. Everything must go. Even his own memory of it all," Beyonder was just going to destroy the Universe, but first he thought of trying to rebirth into human forms, for how to feel like as human, since he has already made a device.
Meanwhile, Owen Reece teleported all the heroes of Earth to the Rockies, above his bunker. He wanted them all to engage him in one last ditch effort.
Reece had been distraught, but had eventually come to terms with everything, and now felt stronger than ever. He was ready and willing to face the Beyonder once again.
Beyonder returned to his base, and he thought about recording his memory, "Maybe it'll help for remembering me, after I rebirth into human," so he started the recording.
"Let's see... where should I start? The beginning, I suppose…" Beyonder thought then he opened a portal of the Beyonder Realm, "Okay, I came from a realm beyond the Multiverse! I'm now opening up a portal to show where my Beyonder Realm was!"
"It's not there anymore, of course, because it's not even a place without me! See, I'm all of what it was, including the space! Tough concept, I know."
"Anyway, a while ago, I accidentally learned of this strange Multiverse! Here, there are lots of things, and each thing is just a part of the whole, so every single thing is, by itself, incomplete!"
"Here, things that are alive constantly seek to remedy their incompleteness! All activity that goes on stems from this—the driving force of all existence is... desire! All who are incomplete know desire, that's a fact, trust me."
"Since I've become aware of this Multiverse and the existence of others, even I am no longer one, alone! I'm part of a larger whole... therefore I'm incomplete... and therefore I know desire! So where does that leave me? Pretty screwed up."
"You see, all of the other living things here are content pursuing the satisfaction of their desires—but even the mightiest beings among them are like microbes to me! I've got a unique situation—I'm omnipotent!"
"The trouble with being omnipotent is that reality isn't real to me! Everything is what I say it is. If I decide that granite is squeezably soft, it is. If I decide that cows have wings, they do. To put it another way, cows do not have wings because I don't want them."
"My imagination and reality are virtually indistinguishable! All existence, except me, might as well be a figment of my imagination! Maybe it is! I might have just dreamed all this up, including wingless cows! But then, the whole point is that it makes no difference."
"So... I know desire, because I'm incomplete—but what is it that I desire-? I, who utterly dictate all reality? What do I need? Nothing! Literally…"
"I was free of desire back when I seemed to be all there was... therefore, erasing all existence seems logical! But... as long as I conceive of other things, they exist, in an equal reality, remember? Fashion because of my thoughts."
"Can I erase? I don't remember my own mind. Anything before and if I do, what am I then? Dead. The moment that this Multiverse revealed itself to me! Was I alive before then, and just unaware...?"
"...Or was I perhaps, to one born in that who is omnipotent, instant? When he cannot conceive, that is death! Or, perhaps it's just peace-! And that's what I want."
"I... guess! I keep thinking about all these lowly mortal beings whose lives and minds and souls I've touched! I just can't shake the nagging doubt that they have... something that I can't comprehend! Something important! So for this, I decided to be like a mortal!"
"There's only one way to do that by risking mortal death!" Beyonder then showed his device which would recreate him in mortal form. He decided to test it first by creating the New Mutants, whom he had killed earlier. And it was successful.
"Not bad! They're fine in every respect, except that the process left them sort of empty inside—like blank slates, or like zombies, maybe! At least they won't be in any trouble until I figure out what to do with them!"
"A slight adjustment to the old Mama machine will ensure that I come out with my mind and memories intact!" Beyonder said and he adjusted the machine a little bit, "All set! As soon as I finish this, a vessel in which to store my power while I try this crazy experiment!"
Then he went through himself. He came out as a scrawny blonde man; his power was stored in a nearby vessel. He immediately felt time passing by in a blur, and couldn't take it-he plunged back in and restored his godlike state. He tried two-three times more, and he was just going to try again. He found the Molecular Man with the group of heroes and villains who are going to attack him.
