But then, the final scene. In the void between dimensions, Maltruant’s head—still functional—is drifting. A shadowy, familiar figure picks it up. It is (the alternate-dimension Ben from Ben 10: Race Against Time ), or rather, a being claiming to be the original Ben Tennyson from a timeline where he never took the watch off. He whispers, “The Forge of Creation is unguarded... and the Chrono Navigator is almost complete.”
In the climactic battle against Maltruant at the literal edge of creation, the Omnitrix is failing. Ben has lost his connection to the watch. But through sheer willpower and his bond with Rook, he doesn’t just transform into Feedback—he becomes Feedback. Using the alien’s ability to absorb and redirect limitless energy, Ben catches the explosion of the Annihilarrgh itself. For a full minute of screen time, there is no dialogue—just Feedback screaming as he holds the power of a dying universe in his hands, channeling it back at Maltruant. It is arguably the single most heroic feat any version of Ben has ever performed. Maltruant is defeated, but the Annihilarrgh detonates. The universe ends.

It’s a rare moment of pathos for the squid-faced tyrant, suggesting that the desire for the Omnitrix isn’t just greed—it’s an addiction that destroys the soul. But then, the final scene
In the sprawling, ever-expanding tapestry of the Ben 10 franchise, few entries have been as polarizing, visually daring, or narratively ambitious as Ben 10: Omniverse . Spanning eight story arcs across 80 episodes, the series concluded its run not with a whimper, but with a bang—specifically, the eight-episode block designated as Season 6 (sometimes referred to as the final volume of the series). For fans who weathered the tonal shifts and the introduction of rookie partner Rook Blonko, Season 6 offered a grand, time-bending finale that paid homage to everything that came before while closing the book on the classic continuity. It is (the alternate-dimension Ben from Ben 10:
Humbly, Ben steps back. He lets the universe be born without his interference. The Contumelia leave, remarking that this "Ben" was the most interesting iteration they had met—a direct nod to the multiverse.
And for the fans, that’s enough.
