Strange defeats the destroyed universe's Strange, who has been corrupted by his universe's Darkhold, and uses it to dreamwalk into the body of his deceased counterpart on Earth-616. She then takes over Chavez's mind, using her powers to send the others to an incursion-destroyed universe. Strange, Chavez, and Palmer enter the space between universes to find the Book of Vishanti, which is the antithesis of the Darkhold, but Maximoff appears and destroys it. The two escape with help from the Earth-838 counterpart of Strange's ex-fiancé, Christine Palmer, a scientist working with the Illuminati. She brutally kills all the Illuminati except Mordo, whom Strange subdues before fleeing with Chavez. Mordo believes that Earth-616's Strange is similarly dangerous, but Maximoff reestablishes her dreamwalk at Mount Wundagore and arrives in her Earth-838 counterpart's body before they can pass judgment. After defeating Thanos, the Illuminati executed their Strange to prevent him from causing more harm. They explain that through reckless use of their universe's Darkhold in an attempt to defeat Thanos, Earth-838's Strange triggered a universe-destroying "incursion". While searching for help, Strange and Chavez are apprehended by Earth-838's Sorcerer Supreme, Karl Mordo, and brought before the Illuminati, a group consisting of Mordo, Peggy Carter, Blackagar Boltagon, Maria Rambeau, Reed Richards, and Charles Xavier. Enraged, Maximoff forces Wong to lead her to Mount Wundagore, the source of the Darkhold 's power, to reestablish the dreamwalk. A surviving sorceress sacrifices herself to destroy the Darkhold and break the dreamwalk. Chavez accidentally transports herself and Strange to Earth-838 while Maximoff uses the Darkhold to "dreamwalk", taking control of her Earth-838 counterpart, who lives a suburban life with her own Billy and Tommy. When Strange refuses to surrender Chavez, Maximoff attacks Kamar-Taj, killing many sorcerers. After acquiring the Darkhold and becoming the Scarlet Witch, Maximoff believes that controlling Chavez's powers will allow her to reunite with Billy and Tommy, the children she created during her time in Westview. Recognizing witchcraft runes, Strange consults Wanda Maximoff for help but realizes that she is responsible for the attacks. Chavez explains that the beings are hunting her because she has the power to travel through the multiverse.
