The Infinity War was known to be a galaxy-wide spanning conflict, for which Thanos Rex and his Endless Resurgence began their hunt for the six Infinity Stones. The conflict began when Thanos initiated his plan to gather all of the Infinity Stones to complete his quest for the eradication of half of all life in the universe. Taking advantage of the Destruction of Asgard and Avengers Civil War, Thanos began a bloody campaign to retrieve the Infinity Stones and gather them into his Infinity Gauntlet as a way for his conquest to be a success.
