What is the outcome of the war against aliens in Love, Death & Robots volume 4 episode 2?
After their emissary gets killed on Earth, the aliens send more spacecraft to beam up humans and probe them. While people panic on the streets about the end of times, one person is hilariously seen emerging from the adult store, desperately wanting to be chosen by the aliens to be probed. Meanwhile, alien troops start attacking and eliminating people.
The humans fight back, and soon it's an all-out war. When a world leader delivers a rousing speech to the military, a giant alien robot appears which lays waste to the entire area by creating a seemingly temporary and small black hole. Many such robots begin to land across the globe. Unwilling to give up, the humans take down some of them and use the alien tech to fight aliens.
Humans build a powerful weapon by combining several black hole generators to destroy an alien mothership hovering in the sky. But when they activate it, the weapon falls over and accidentally creates a black hole on Earth. Instead of just targeting the mothership, the black hole grows uncontrollably, devouring Earth, the mothership, and eventually the entire solar system—erasing it all in a quiet, sudden wisp.
