Multiversus: Collision Detected #6 is an issue of the series Multiversus: Collision Detected (Volume 1) with a cover date of January, 2025. It was published on November 27, 2024.
Synopsis for "Level Six: The Kill Screen"
At the Batcave, the fighters from across the multiverse fight Devoid, who has possessed the body of Avia and is now attempting to collect fighters for her Imaginarium. Devoid uses her drones to distract the allied heroes while she escapes from the Batcave but the heroes are quick to follow her. Meanwhile, Steven works hard on the project with the instructions given to him by the scientist that had previously infected Brainiac's code. The Joker, attempting to prey on Steven's innocence, asks Steven to release him but Steven is no fool and refuses to help a murderous clown escape imprisonment.
In their attempts to catch up to Devoid, the heroes are ambushed Devoid's drones and have a hard time fighting them, for the drones have adapted to the heroes' attacks. The heroes, however, can adapt as well and Batman advises them to work in pairs and switch opponents. The plan works and the drones are destroyed, but Steven says that instead of fighting Devoid, perhaps they should give her what she wants. To everyone's surprise, Steven then attaches a series of discs he had built onto the heroes' backs.
Meanwhile, Devoid has reached Gotham, only to be intercepted by Mister Miracle and Big Barda, who demand the release of their daughter, but Devoid will only do that when she collects enough people for the Imaginarium. Suddenly, the allied heroes catch up to Devoid and agree to fight in her tournament in exchange for Avia's freedom. Devoid releases Avia and departs from this universe, taking the allied heroes from her. Scott, Barda and Avia mourn the heroes' apparent sacrifice, only for the heroes to reveal themselves, safe and sound. They explain that, following instructions from the mysterious scientist, Steven created by quantum magnets that would absorb infinitesimal fractions of their essences and use them to fool Devoid into thinking that she had captured the real heroes, but in reality, she had only acquired digital clones of the heroes that would fight in her tournament.
Even so, Devoid will likely continue kidnapping people from across the multiverse and the Nothing is still a threat but the heroes proclaim that, whatever happens, they will do whatever it takes to stop their enemies.

Notes
- Final issue.
- This story reveals that the characters shown in MultiVersus are actually simulacra of their original selves created by amalgamating pieces of their Omniversal counterparts' souls.
Trivia
- A panel from this issue mirrors the opening scene of the Justice League animated show.
- Steven shouting "Multiversus Force, Activate!" is obviously a homage to the Wonder Twins' activation command, "Wonder Twins Power, Activate!".
- During the clash against the drones, Bugs Bunny' selves are obviously inspired by many Warner Bros cartoons, including:
- Brunhild Bugs from What's Opera, Doc?, later adapted in the movie, The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie;
- King Bugs Bunny from Rabbit Hood;
- Matador Bugs Bunny from Bully for Bugs;
- Arab Bugs Bunny from Hare-Abian Nights.
