  The Beyonder contemplates his next move as he has vowed to destroy the multiverse but fears he would miss it. Instead, he decides to create a machine that will let him experience mortality. He finds the sensation both terrifying and thrilling but quickly becomes addicted to the feeling. He figures out a way for the machine to birth him as a mortal being but with a portion of his cosmic powers intact. While he is gestating in the machine, however, the heroes of Earth arrive. Molecule Man destroys the device, sending the Beyonder's energy back to his old dimension where a new universe is born.

Publisher’s description

What is a god? Beyonder poses this question and more in the jaw-dropping conclusion to Secret Wars II. Will reality be ripped to shreds as the entire Marvel Universe takes on the One from Beyond? The answer's more complicated than you think!
