Events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths Summarized

It's here! With the part 5 aired on the Legends of tomorrow this past Tuesday i.e 14th Jan, the biggest crossover event ever in the history of the Arrowverse concludes. Here we bring you a summarized account of all the events that occurred during the crisis.


Enjoy:




The Anti Monitor attacks and destroys several parallel universes and wipes out their existence. As the Anti Matter wave approaches Earth-38, Kara Danvers aka Supergirl warns her mother Alura Zor-El, her cousin Clark Kent and his wife Lois Lane. Clark and Lois narrowly escape and send their infant son Jonathan off in an escape pod as the anti-matter wave wipe off Argo.

Harbringer collects Oliver,Barry,Sara,Mia,Kate and Ray Palmer while also rescuing the Kents and brings them to Earth-38 to defend against the Anti-Monitor. The Monitor raises a quantum tower to impede the anti-matter wave.Lena Luthor and DEO work together to evacuate Earth-38.
While Lois, Sara and Brainiac 5 leave to retrieve Jonathan while the rest stay behind to fend off Anti-Monitor's forces.

The rest of the heroes make their stand at the tower and fight off several of the Anti-Monitor's demons until Monitor teleports them off world considering the battle lost, while Oliver stays behind longer buying time for as many of others to escape.

Finally The Monitor brings back a terribly injured Oliver back where Oliver says his last goodbyes. Nash Wells now transformed into Pariah for releasing the Anti-Monitor arrives announces the end of times.

Unable to revive Oliver because of the growing powers of the Anti-Monitor, The Monitor consults the book of destiny which guides him towards seven Paragons upon whom lies the fate of the multiverse and the entire existence. Four of them being Kara "the Paragon of Hope", Sara "the Paragon of Destiny",a superman who has suffered more than any mortal man i.e Clark from Earth-96 "the Paragon of Truth", and a bat of future who'd be "the Paragon of Courage".

Lex Luthor who was revived along with the book of destiny by the Monitor, escapes along withe book of destiny on a supermen killing spree finally reaching Clark-96 whom he mind controls into fighting the other Clark until he is knocked unconscious by Lois.
Kate and Kara travel to earth-99 where they get into a heated confrontation with an elderly Bruce Wayne-99.

Meanwhile Mia, Sara and John Constantine bring Oliver's body to Lazarus Pit in an attempt to revive him but fail. With some help from Lucifer Morningstar they travel to Purgatory to retrieve Oliver's soul, but Oliver decides against it after being convinced by Jim Corningan.

Elsewhere, Ray builds a Paragon Detector device which identifies Kate as "the Paragon Of Courage", Barry as "the Paragon of Love", J'onn J'onzz as "the Paragon of Honor" and a scientist  Ryan Choi as "the Paragon of Humanity".

Iris, Ray and Dibny recruit Ryan Choi while Barry, Caitlin and Cisco(with his powers restored by The Monitor) meet Pariah at the Anti-Monitors control room/chamber. There they find Flash-90 powering the Anti-Matter canon. They rescue him and come up with a plan to destroy cannon for which Barry-1 volunteers which would result in his prophesied death saving the universe. Barry-90 stops him and temporarily absorbs his power and sacrifices himself to destroy the canon, save the universe, vanishing in the process.

Anti-Monitor sends a brainwashed Harbinger to kill The Monitor to absorb his power and finish his task of destroying the multiverse. Earth-1 is destroyed and Pariah sends the Paragons to the vanishing point to keep them self and Lex Luthor replaces Superman-96 as "the paragon of truth" using the book of destiny.

We get to know more about the Anti-Monitor and how a young Mar Novu traveled to the dawn of time and accidentally ended up in anti-matter universe and revealing the universe's presence to him.
In months of the destruction of the multiverse, paragons struggle to survive with Barry missing from almost a month trying to access the speedforce before returning.

Oliver returns to meet the paragons, now as the Spectre and instructs them on how to defeat the Anti-Monitor. He strengthens Barry's powers. With increased speed Barry drop's Kara, Lex and Ryan on Maltus to stop Mar Novu from travelling to the dawn of time where Lex betrays them, but in the end they are able to stop Mar Novu from travelling to the Dawn of time.



Barry gets attacked by the Anti-Monitor loosing everyone else across timelines.
After gathering everyone else Barry bring all of them to the Dawn of Time where they fight the Anti-Monitor's forces while Oliver faces off against the Anti-Monitor himself and apparently defeats him and along with the other Paragons gives birth to a new restored Multiverse while dying in the process for a second and final time in Barry's arms.

Waking up in the newly created universe the Paragons find that they are the only ones who remember the events of crisis and that Earth-1 and Earth-38 have merged along with several other changes to the multiverse. J'onn uses his psionic powers to summarize and get updated the close companions of the heroes with the events.

Later they are attacked by Anti-Matter demons who have been assigned to kill the Paragons. A remorseful Nash Wells wakes up in a hospital an everyone discovers that the Anti-Monitor is still alive. They regroup while Ryan,Nash,Ray and Barry develop a bomb capable of shrinking the Anti-Monitor for eternity. All the heroes face of against the Anti-Monitor for one last time, for their universe, for their existence but most importantly for Oliver.


Finally the other heroes distract the Anti-Monitor while Kara throws the bomb at him and defeat him by sending him down to the microverse.


Sometime later the heroes hold a memorial service for Oliver before forming the league of heroes to protect the world in Oliver's Memory.
