She tells him to get to cover, before adding that she could save him. Supergirl faces the giant dragon-like creatures, cautioning him to calm down. She promises Spike that his owner Alana is waiting for him and there is nothing to be scared of. Eventually, the giant creature shrinks down, he reverts to his much smaller size, taking on the form of a small iguana. Supergirl picks him up and brings him back to the DEO.

She ushers them to safety, to their last remaining Kryptonian pod where Alura warns them there is only enough space for one, both Clark and Lois immediately agree to send their son to Earth.

Oliver Queen is on the island with his daughter Mia Smoak. He was confiding in her about his former hatred for the island. Adding he had come to terms with his time served because without Lian Yu he never would've become the man he was destined to be, and most importantly he never would have had the opportunity to be looking at his daughter.

Earth-1 - Central City
The Flash is racing around town while in communication with Cisco Ramon trying to figure out what is happening. He too was surprised to see Lyla before him.

Earth-1 - Star City
Sara Lance and Ray Palmer are playing another night of trivia for beer. They're on the last question “What is the name of the last song Janis Joplin ever record it?” Sarah immediately guesses Mercedes-Benz, but they are corrected with the answer "Little Rocket Man". Sarah is furious, but Ray calms her down admitting that he stole a lock of Janis Joplin's hair when they were at Woodstock last year. Sarah is more anointed at him for losing their trivia beer, then she is at him altering history. Fortunately, they too are interrupted by Lyla.
Earth-38 - The DEO
Lyla, The Harbinger appears before Supergirl and the DEO. Alex immediately reacts and tells her to put her hands on her head, demanding to know if she is what is behind the phenomenal cosmic activity that is currently plaguing them. Alex calms down with the arrivals of everyone Lyla has collected. She has brought with her eight individuals, including Kara's cousin Superman and Lois Lane. Supergirl is relieved that they survived, and they inform her Lyla was the one who brought them here before Argo exploded. They both bring up the worry that they sent Jonathan to Earth, and he is now no longer with them. Everyone has arrived in their heroes' uniforms and they are ready to do what is necessary. Batwoman is obviously quite apprehensive as to what is happening, but Supergirl promises she can trust everyone here, as she herself would trust them with her life, just as she would trust Batwoman. With that, Kate takes off her mask and introduces herself as Kate, Mia, and Oliver follow suit.
Everyone is redirected to a board room where Lyla is able to explain their situation, “There is a wave of antimatter sweeping across this universe destroying everything in its path” Oliver pipes up admitting he has seen this antimatter wave in action, it already wiped Earth-2 out of existence. Unfortunately for them, Earth-38 is in its path now. Mar Novu has arrived and adds The Flash and the Legends are currently doing reconnaissance. Afterwards, Lois and Clark bring up their concerns about Jonathan again, not sure where his pod is, or if he even landed on Earth yet. Supergirl volunteers Brainy and they are able to tract his trajectory. However, they are interrupted when a giant quantum tower begins rising before them just outside the building. The tower is the only thing that can save the people of Earth. Mar Novu explains at the dawn of time The Monitor placed quantum towers on key Earths in a last line of defense. Immediately both Ray and Brainiac begin theorizing a better understanding of the tower. 
In another room before leaving, Brainiac and J'onn are discussing how to save and protect Earth. He informs Brainy that Alex is currently coordinating with the President who is, in turn, coordinating with the rest of the world leaders. Their hope is that all aliens that arrived on Earth will allow everyone to use their spaceships to escape. Brainy conscience he is not sure how good of an idea that will be, given last year's events, and the war against aliens. Before leaving Brainy tosses J'onn his keys.
Alex and J'onn coordinate their plans, Alex, having just returned from talking with The US President. Even if they can get everyone off the planet and into space itself, it's not safe. They would need a humongous transporter to take them all to another universe. J'onn suggests Lena Luthor and Alex is hesitant given their new fresh disdain for each other. J'onn reminds her that they have absolutely no other choice, and she was a great help in fighting the Daxamite Army years earlier.
In another room, Oliver has a present for Mia. When she opens it she realizes it is a dark emerald suit, just like her father's. She is understandably hesitant to take it, but Oliver insists she is the new Green Arrow. Reminding her that she earned it, and leaves her to try it on.
Oliver finds Barry, and Barry brings up that The Monitor informed him things have changed and he is not suspected to make it through what is coming. This immediately upsets Oliver who begins yelling at no one, demanding to talk.
Oliver finds himself standing before The Monitor, outside of time and space. Oliver reminds him that they had made the agreement that he was to die in order to save Supergirl and The Flash. The Monitor reminds him that that deal was last year, and this is a new threat. The Monitor refuses to give any more details, insisting that if they do not know what is coming, his hope was that they would prepare for absolutely every possibility.
Lena Luthor is looking outside L-Corp. Astonished at the tower now in the city. Alex invites herself into her private office in full DEO uniform. Lena is unthreatened and asked Alex if she has come to accuse her of more crimes and arrest her. Alex takes the bait, and asked Lena what she expects after stealing Myriad, and almost killing Supergirl, just last week. Lena immediately denies the claim, insisting it was Eve Teschmacher, and she has already been arrested. Alex knows she is lying, but this is not the time to argue. Alex brings up how they are all in danger and Lena needs to put her feelings aside to help save the world again. Lena obviously agrees but is upset that the Danvers sisters would think she might not help, considering, once again, that it is she who is the good guy.
Inside the tower, the six heroes are deciding how to handle the situation and determined to keep it safe. GA and Mia arrived, with Mia in her new suit. Arrow instructs Supergirl and Superman to protect the outside, while they run inside, all while the Earth is continuously moved by more and more powerful earthquakes. When inside Arrow casually tells his daughter that no matter what happens to him, it is her job to find her mother. They are soon attacked by an army of flying spirits. Everyone is surprised at such an out-worldly attack. In the chaos, Batwoman agrees to an upgrade from The Atom. While talking to himself he is able to magnetize one of her throwing bats in order for it to come back to her. In the chaos, Mia is even able to send an arrow past her father destroying an unseen enemy behind him. Oliver nods his thanks to his daughter, proud of who she is becoming. Superman, Supergirl and Flash arrived to help, they are quickly able to take care of the situation and destroy all of the spirits that are within the tower.
Outside of National City, Dreamer and Kelly are trying to help coordinate people onto spaceships while trying to keep them calm among the chaos. They are extremely surprised and happy when J'onn arrives with the Legion ship, the ship is capable of putting hundreds-of-thousands of people aboard.
Inside the DEO Lena and Alex are still trying to figure out how to transport the ships away, as even space is no longer a viable option. Lena isn't sure how to stop people from evaporating once she transports them to another Earth. Alex suggests Galleon's Theory of “using an inverse variable to help calculate the differential?” Lena agrees it is a good idea. Excited to have cracked the puzzle they are able to send the spaceships away to another Earth. Before leaving Lena reminds Alex, that regardless they are still not friends. Outside she helps coordinate people to safety. Kelly Olsen even saves a woman using Jame's Shield from when he was Guardian.
While outside the tower, the six heroes are again left disappointed when the tower breaks. Oliver tells Superman and Supergirl to see what they can do and they both fly up, Superman realizes the tower is powered by what looks like solar panels and immediately begins blasting it with his x-ray vision, Supergirl follows suit. They continue to blast at the solar panel for as long as they can, Superman is the first to fall, followed soon by Supergirl. Luckily it was enough to power up the tower again. The red skies dissipate but they are still faced with flying angry spirits. Everyone begins fighting them full throttle but The Monitor appears insisting they save their strength, this world is already doomed and he begins vanishing in them away one by one. First Batwoman, followed by Superman, Supergirl, he also takes the Flash, Ray, and Mia. Only Green Arrow is left. Before he can take him, Oliver demands to know how many people are left, and The Monitor admits there are still many that won't be saved. Oliver refuses to leave and shoots The Monitors, disrupting his powers. Oliver is struck by one of the flying spirits and loses his footing, only to realize he is out of arrows. Not wanting to give up, Oliver takes a stand and decides to continue to fight with his bare hands, even if it is in vain, wanting to save as many people as he can.

Kara is both devastated at the news of the loss of her planet, along with the reality of Green Arrow's pending demise.
They are surprised when Pariah appears before them. He insists he is no longer Nash, admitting "Now, I'm simply a man serving his penance. I freed the Anti-Monitor from his confinement only to become a Pariah. Sentenced to bear witness to his actions." At this time, Lois, Sara, and Brainy all return to Earth-1. Superman goes to greet his wife, happy his child is safe, wanting to give the man and his family some space. Oliver confides that he gave it all up sacrificing his life for Kara and Flash. Both are immediately surprised and heartbroken to hear this devastating news. Oliver calls his daughter closer and tells her to promise she will find her mother and to tell William he loves him, teary-eyed she confirms she will. Oliver dies seconds after this

Kara then asks if they aren't going to wait for Barry, but Kate replies that she doesn't think he's ready to say goodbye to his friend just yet. Kara refuses to drink, saying that it feels like giving up, and believes that there's a way to undo the Crisis. Sara suggests that they prevent it from happening to every other universe. Harbinger arrives and says that Diggle is with JJ and doesn't know about Oliver dying just yet. She realizes how messed up that is and tells Sara, that she's just trying to find a way to break it to him.

When the Waverider arrives, the Monitor says that they've suffered a horrible loss. However, there are seven heroes of the purest will. Clark and Kara try to comfort Jonathan, but the baby doesn't settle down until Mick takes him. The Monitor says that the seven heroes are Paragons, and he only learned of them by consulting the Book of Destiny. When Kate asked The Monitor where he got these names and pseudonyms, he answers that he enlisted the help of Felicity Smoak. Who earned the wisdom from a second book. He summons the aforementioned Book and explains that he went into the time-stream and retrieved the book. As Mia arrives, Kara asks if the Book can bring back the destroyed Earths. The Monitor warns that it would cause madness, and Mia asks if the Book can bring Oliver back. Mar Novu says that it's impossible and that he grows weaker as the Anti-Monitor grows stronger. The Monitor tells them that Kara is the Paragon of Hope. Sara is the Paragon of Destiny, and one of the others is a Kryptonian who is the Paragon of Truth. Clark and Lois offer to find him, and the Monitor says that the fourth Paragon is of Courage and is known only as the "Bat of the Future". The Tome of the Guardians revealed Kara and Sara's names to him and the descriptions for the other two. They also all collectively find out that Bruce Wayne is the Dark Knight, with Kate asking if they could all keep that to themselves. Kate then asks the others who wanted to meet Batman.
Bruce Wayne exists in the future on Earth-99, where he has dedicated himself body and soul to fighting crime. Later, Kara looks at a display of Earth-38 being destroyed, and Lex comes in with the Monitor. Lex is amused at the destruction of his homeworld, and the Monitor tells Kara that even Lex has an important part to play in this crisis. So he resurrected him after he'd been killed. As Kate comes in, the Monitor explains that he had the power to bring Lex back before the Crisis began. Kara refuses to work with Lex as an ally, and Kate meets Lex and introduces herself as new & unfriendly.
Kate goes after Kara and they bond over their mutual losses. After a moment, Kate takes out an extrapolator and invites Kara to come with her and save the universe.

He teleports away with it, and the Monitor comes in. Harbinger warns him that Lex took the Book, and the Monitor says that they all have a part to play.
The Monitor brings Iris to reunite with Barry. Barry suggests that they can use the Lazarus Pit to bring Oliver back, and insists that his friend can't be dead.

Bruce and Kate recognize each other, and Bruce takes Kate to his study while Luke takes Kara to the library.

Lois tells Clark Kent of Earth-167 about how their Earth's version of Lex Luthor is going to try and kill him. The trio disappeared, and Lex steps out with the Book and greets his "old friend". Clark says that Lex isn't the Lex he knows, and Lex explains that he sent the others back to Waverider. He insists that Clark will always be his greatest enemy on any Earth, and he knows that this Clark Kent is Superman. He finds it ironic, as Earth-38's version of Clark Kent is not the Man of Steel. Lex takes out a piece of Kryptonite, and Clark tosses it away and says that kryptonite hasn't affected him since he gave up his powers.
Lex is astonished that Clark would give up being a god.

During that moment, the trio realizes this Earth's Clark is a Paragon, and Iris asks Clark-96 to come back with them. Clark-96 puts on his costume, and so does Clark Kent (Earth-38).

The Monitor explains to the room, now in front of the rest of the heroes who their real enemy is. He informs them all that he has been preparing them and testing them to learn their limits for a long time now. He needed their courage and honor as well as their strength and everything else the Paragon stands for. Because he needed the greatest heroes, in order to defeat their greatest threat. The Anti-Monitor's goal is to eliminate the multiverse and replace it with his own design. Supergirl isn't surprised, insisting he is like every other megalomaniac.

Both of them are interrupted by the presence of Pariah he re-introduces himself to the group, insisting he is no longer Nash and has only arrived to bear witness to tragedy. Cisco is neither surprised or impressed with his new name and look. When pressed as to what happened to him, Pariah admits he was searching these tunnels for Mar Nova in order to kill him, expose him as a false god, only to be controlled by another god, the Anti-Monitor. He had laid the perfect track for him, manipulating him to gain a foothold into this universe. They ask Pariah if he remembers how to open the door, but he does not. Pariah then reminds Cisco he can now vibe Nash's old memories. It works and Cisco is able to unlock the door behind the hieroglyphics.
Earth-1 - Waverider
Supergirl and Batwoman are in the holding cell with Lex Luthor who is entertained with their predicament. Supergirl questions on whether or not it's possible to bring back Earth-38, and he declines to give a clear answer. Batwoman has become annoyed with Lex and takes down the force shield holding the man, and slams him against the wall, demanding answers. Lex again makes a joke, but Batwoman twists his arm harder behind his back. Lex admits in order to use the Book of Destiny you must focus on what you want without hesitation, when question what he focuses on, Supergirl answers that it is his hatred for Superman. Lex confirms she got it on her first try. Lex Luthor surprisingly cautions them, killing someone is easy, but trying to bring back an entire universe or world would drive the person insane. Just like Deegan. Kate puts Lex back in his invisible cell, concoctions Kara against using the book, as they don't know what kind of effect it could have. She questioned since she is the Paragon of Hope maybe she is supposed to do this, in order to bring back Earth and Argo City, upset Kara leaves the room.
Purgatory
Oliver is running through a forest in Purgatory which is made to look exactly like Lian Yu, when a man named Jim Corrigan approaches him. He is an older man with dark hair and a slim trim. He informs them that he used to be a decorated police officer, but was eventually called to a higher purpose to become a spectre, he says this while his eyes briefly glow green. Oliver seems to know he can believe and trust this man and agrees. 
Nexus
Barry returns, confirming there are no quantum towers around. They all enter the hidden room together. Having left the old dingy brick laid halls, they enter a very clean and chic, futuristic-looking room. Cisco says the room has an intense amount of vibrational frequency surging through it. Pariah tells them that this is the nexus between the antimatter universe and their own. In the middle is a bright white light beaming up towards the sky and the energy is surrounded by red lights with a darker red vibrating in the front of it. Which just so happens to be the anti-matter's source of the wave. Frost questions if the blur is alive. Barry uses his speed to run forward, only to be very shocked and surprised to see Barry Allen from Earth-90 continuously running at light speed on a treadmill. The Earth-90 Flash warns him to stop, but Barry doesn't react in time and hits the force field surrounding the older man. Pariah reminds them that the last time they faced off against The Monitor the speedster disappeared in a puff of smoke and had been missing ever since. All part of the greater plan. The anti-Monitor corralled his speed and used it to build his antimatter cannon, which he tested by destroying the first earth, Earth-2. It is only then, that they realize both Harry and Jesse are now gone. It is during this time they realize Pariah is missing.
Flash insists they have to get their old friend off of the treadmill. He convinces Vibe that this is why The Monitor gave him his powers back, so he opens a portal directly in front of The Flash who unwillingly is forced through. Earth-90 Barry thanks them after hitting a wall, but insists he must go back. The canon begins to erupt as it powers down. Earth-90 Barry insists, unless he continues to power it, it will just immediately destroy all the remaining Earths as a countermeasure to keep him running.
Team Flash is incredibly surprised to see a man dressed in black with two gold lightning bolts down his body entered the room. He demands to know where he is and who the people before him are, he then strikes at them with one of his lightning attacks. Before he can do it again, the Flash steps forward and sends his own attack back, but is sent flying against a monitor and crashes it. Pariah re-appears before them again introducing Jefferson Pierce as Black Lightning. Jefferson reluctantly informs them he was brought here to help as his world has been destroyed. Black Lightning cries Pariah should've saved his family instead of him. Earth-1 Barry Allen tells him he understands how he feels, but right now they have to try and save the Earth they are currently on, as it will be the final Earth and all the multiverse will be destroyed. They asked Black Lightning for his help which he agrees to, absorbing the electricity from the machine, giving Team Flash more time.
Realizing they are quickly running out of time, both Barry Allens use their super speed to begin communicating. Earth-1 Barry confesses how worried he is, the more time they waste another world dies, and he can't lose his wife. Earth-90 Barry reveals to him he was married once too. Her name was Tina and her purpose in life was to keep him running, and he's been doing that for the past 30 years. This caused something in Earth-1 Barry to click, finally understanding what The Monitor meant that day in the Time Vault. Realizing that this is what he has been running towards all these years. Insisting it's time for the Flash to vanish in Crisis. Cisco informs them, "reversing the trail mellows directional velocity could make the antimatter wave received and funneled back into the speed canning, destroying the machine, once and for all"
Realizing it must be him, Barry begins to say his goodbye to his friends. Commenting that Caitlin and Cisco were the first people he ever saw after becoming/when he opened his eyes that day in the hospital. Insisting he couldn't have been a hero without them. He adds to tell his wife and Joe how much he loves them and they both promised to do so. He is interrupted by the older Flash apologizes before momentarily stealing his speed. Telling him that when you've been a speedster as long as he has, you pick up some neat tricks. Earth-1 Barry cries out wanting to know why, Earth-90 Barry says The Monitor said The Flash had to die during Crisis, but he never said which Flash. Wanting the younger man to live a longer life. He takes a moment to tell Jefferson how amazing a hero he is too. He then instructs Cisco to open the breach. Cisco is hesitant, but the older man reminds him that this way his friend won't have to die, while Earth-1 Barry pleads for his friend not to do it. Reluctantly, Cisco opens the breach allowing Earth-90 Barry through. Once on the treadmill he begins running at super speed again, Cisco opens another breach for them to escape through, everyone leaves as Cisco forces Barry to come with them. Now that Earth-90 Barry is left alone in the room, he holds onto his final moments of remembering his wife Tina. Before the energy destroys him. He managed to stop Earth-1's immediate destruction, saving everyone. All that is left behind is the lightning bolt symbol from his chest.
Earth-1 - Waverider
Lois Lane and John Diggle is watching a monitor and is devastated to watch Earth-73 be destroyed by the wave. The Monitor is beside her and she informs him that there are only seven remaining worlds. Lois brings up how ironic the situation is, the biggest event in history to ever happen and no one will ever read the story. The Monitor brings up how these Earths were not the only ones destroyed, his world also died and he lost his family. He reminisces his life and how they meant everything to him. He now wishes he had spent more time with them and not been so focused on his work. They are interrupted by Superman returning from somewhere. He smashes his fist down against the floor, devastated at having not been able to save what was most likely Earth-73. She asked her husband's counterpart if he wishes to take a break. He ignores her and begins a speech about why he wears his family's crest, because it is to save people, and that he would never give up fighting. Lois asks why he turned the blue that used to surround the 'S' into black. He tells her it is because even in the darkest times, hope cuts through. "Hope is the light that lifts us out of the darkness." he asked to be sent back, to another Earth to try and save them. He disappears and Lois comments on his bravery, only to realize The Monitor has also disappeared. While waiting, a green ring suddenly flies towards the waverider and goes on the John's middle finger. Surprised, the ring flies John into space and to OA.
Supergirl is in the ship's office looking at the Book of Destiny, debatably getting ready to open it. She is stopped by Kate. Her friend asks her what she is doing, and Kara insists she has to do whatever she can to bring her world back, and all the other worlds and she can fix it. Kate insists that is not the answer, Kara is thoroughly becoming more annoyed and asks what else can be done. She can't stand by while all those people are dying. Batwoman says she doesn't like it, but using the book will destroy her. Supergirl says it's what she has to do, and Batwoman says that she will stop her. Kara promises that Kate will not be able to. Kate is unsure how she would bear in a fight even with the kryptonite, and tries her best to talk her friend down. Rationalizing that if she does this and it doesn't work they can't risk having something happened to her because she is the Paragon of Hope, and without her, they will all be doomed. Annoyed at her reasoning, Supergirl reluctantly leaves. Kate lets out a breath of air she didn't realize she had been holding.
Later Kate takes a moment to track down Kara. Telling her she understands why Kara wanted to bring those people back, and how she has the biggest heart of anyone she's ever met, but she can't get hurt, it would open them to danger. Kara complements her for being the Paragon of Courage, admitting it took a lot to stand up against a Kryptonian. Kate sees how good of a person Supergirl is, and decides to give her the Kryptonite that she took off Bruce. Believing her friend is a good person, Kara tells her to keep it and that she "[has] the courage that [Kate]'ll never have to use it"
In another room Barry Allen finds Jefferson. He tries to console the older man, but he believes nothing is going to be okay again. The Flash tells them how Earth-90's Flash died, and he coincidentally looked exactly like his father Henry Allen. A man who was imprisoned for most of Barry's life after one of Barry's enemies framed him from murdering his mother. Jefferson opens up that his father asked Lynn Pierce was also a good man and a reporter. But he was murdered when he was 12. He made sure to carry on the lessons his father taught to his children. They agree that neither of their fathers were quitters, so they must honor their memories and "rage against the dying of the light". Having first had a rocky start, the two men shake hands and re-introduce themselves with their full names.
The Waverider announces John Diggle has returned and everyone is surprised to see John in a new suit and a ring, and he says, 'Don't ask.' Alex, Nia and Brainy also arrive on the waverider, as only one earth is left and they need to defeat the Anti-Monitor as soon as possible.
Now that everyone is back together, they began discussing, what to do next, but are interrupted with the arrival of Lyla. She appears before them and Dig immediately goes to hug and kiss his wife. She tells them with all the worlds disappearing her powers were not working how they should be, she also admits she doesn't know where exactly she has been. Team Flash is concerned why the Anti-Monitor would want Harbinger back on the ship, as he's possibly been controlling her the entire Crisis. They become further concerned when Pariah appears, as he is only to arrive before great tragedy.
The Harbinger turns around to everyone with her eyes glowing white. She is possessed by the Anti-Monitor and announces "It's time to end the age of heroes and everything you hold close" before throwing Dig against a wall. Superman and Black Lightning both try to fight her, but are both quickly overpowered. Not wanting to waste anymore time, the anti-Monitor forces everyone to the ground unable to move. There he tells Novu how foolish he has been for trying to stop him. The Monitor tells Mobius it was foolish to allow his creation in the first place. The two begin to attack each other with their power in the form of bright energy being forced in the other's direction. Unfortunately, Mobius wins and is able to destroy Novu, and take his powers. However, before he dies Novu is able to tell Pariah, that he will know what to do when the time comes.
The Waverider interrupts them with an alert that Earth-1 has been destroyed. The Anti-Monitor quotes that he will be victorious in a matter of seconds. The Waverider informs them that they have exactly 28 seconds. In that moment, Pariah realizes what he must do. Before that wave can hit them, he vanishes all the heroes to the vanishing point.
Vanishing Point
Batwoman and Superman find themselves close together both wondering where they are. Sara explains they are at the Vanishing Point. A point outside of space and time. She remembered from her last visit many years earlier, it was still destroyed from when Leonard Snart blew it up. They all quickly realize Pariah sent them there knowing the anti-Monitor could not follow. Barry begins to panic, telling everyone they have to go back, but he is stopped when Superman starts to feel something is wrong. Lex Luthor appears to everyone's horror. He exclaims how happy he is that his plan work, and he replaced Superman as the "Paragon of Truth." Admitting he had the Book of Destiny and decided to write his name in over Superman's. He is now one of seven people that are paragons.
