As tensions between the Eternals and mutants reach a critical point, the Avengers become caught in the middle of a conflict that threatens to spread across the entire planet. Convinced that mutants represent a deviation that must be eliminated, some Eternals launch an offensive against Krakoa. In an attempt to end the war, a group of heroes takes part in the creation of a new Celestial, but the experiment quickly escapes their control. The being then decides to judge every living person on Earth according to their actions and choices, transforming the original conflict into a universal trial in which everyone must confront who they truly are.
