  As reality crumbles around them, Thanos battles the most powerful cosmic beings in the universe and defeats them all. He then battles Eternity himself. Defeating the ultimate power in the universe, Thanos leaves his body inert and becomes eternity. With his body standing dormant, Nebula snatches the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos' hand and has her revenge on her grandfather and tormentor as she takes ultimate power for herself. Thanos is banished to float in space but gets pulled to earth by Dr. Strange where Warlock asks him to join the fight against Nebula.

Publisher’s description
