The In-Betweener tells Warlock, that there is need for a Champion of Life because an Advocate of Death has recently arrived and that the Magus is that Champion, he than tells him, that there are still five minutes left before their meeting is about to take place. On the normal plane the Magus discovers, that Thanos is the worshiper of Death he was created to fight. Warlock realizes, that there are five possible turns for him, he destroys the longest path because it's the Magus's, he then enters the shortest to travel to his future and take his future self into the Soul Gem.
