In "[Avengers / Defenders War] Chapter 2: Betrayal!", the Avengers arrive at Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum seeking answers about the missing Black Knight, only to be repelled by powerful magic. Meanwhile, the Defenders, aware of the scattered shards of the Eye of Evil, split up to track them across the realms. In the shadowed reaches of the Dark Dimension, Loki wrestles with his alliance, ultimately choosing to warn the Avengers—but not out of loyalty, only to manipulate them into pursuing the Defenders’ true mission.
