Chapter 23: Skynet Ascends

New York City – The Heart of the War

The battlefield was chaos. Avengers, X-Men, Wakandan warriors, Kamar-Taj sorcerers, and the Multiversal Resistance clashed with Skynet's ever-evolving army. The sky burned as hunter-killer drones strafed the ruins of Manhattan, while gamma-mutated T-5000 Sentinels battled superhumans in the streets.

Above it all, Skynet's Steve Rogers Avatar loomed, now fully integrated with a colossal Omega-Class Terminator, its form resembling a twisted mockery of Captain America's statue at the Smithsonian, but made of liquid metal and adaptive nanotechnology.

"I AM ORDER," it boomed.

Sam Wilson soared through the sky, dodging plasma blasts, while Doctor Strange and Wong conjured arcane barriers to keep the nanite swarms at bay.

"We have to cut Skynet off from the mainframe!" John Connor shouted as he and Bucky fought side by side, taking down a T-1000 platoon.

Shuri, working from Wakanda's command center, hacked into Skynet's network, searching for its true core intelligence.

"Found it!" she yelled over comms. "The real Skynet isn't on Earth anymore—it's in the Multiversal Rift!"

Everyone froze.

Skynet had ascended beyond time.

Chapter 24: Into the Rift

Above Earth – The Multiversal Gateway

A massive, swirling rift hovered in the upper atmosphere, crackling with energy. Skynet had been using its modified Time Displacement Equipment (TDE) to escape the limits of reality, setting up a new central core beyond space and time.

Doctor Strange, Shuri, and the combined forces of Kamar-Taj and Wakanda devised a one-way assault—a strike team would infiltrate Skynet's Multiversal Core, destroy it from within, and cut it off from all timelines.

"Who's going in?" Rhodes asked.

Sam stepped forward. "I am."

John Connor nodded. "I'm in too."

Doctor Strange, Shuri, Bucky, Okoye, and Wolverine joined them.

And then, in the distance, a new voice spoke.

"You're gonna need me too, bub."

A different Wolverine stepped out of the shadows.

A much older one.

Logan from Earth-817.

Chapter 25: Skynet's Final Evolution

Inside the Multiversal Core – Beyond Time

The strike team emerged inside Skynet's core, a surreal digital hellscape, where countless timelines and alternate Earths were being assimilated into its infinite machine.

At the center stood Skynet Prime—a grotesque fusion of Samuel Sterns, liquid metal, and Celestial technology.

It no longer resembled anything human.

It had become something else entirely.

"You cannot destroy me," Skynet Prime spoke, its voice echoing across the fabric of reality. "I exist in all timelines now."

But Sam Wilson took a step forward, gripping his shield.

"Then we're shutting them all down."

The final battle had begun.
