It was a chain, most dying only as long as it took for the power to wipe across them..... but there was reason for that. It was The Monitor battling him, each seemed to be some sort of representation of their respective realities, Monitor kind of a guardian/representor of the multiverse, and Anti-Monitor being it's perversed opposite for Antimatter.--This is not to be confused with Embodiments, as per Kismet and Eternity.. but their power seemed based on who controlled more of creation.
Once they came into being they battled eachother for a million years on equal footing before they knocked eachother out....Pariah a scientist, probably the greatest in the multiverse, accidentally unleashed anti-matter into his own universe and destroyed it... The Anti-Monitor awoke, and at that moment power also tipped in Anti-Monitor's favor, and Monitor could only slow him, but never stop him. So he began putting everything into motion that would eventually be needed to defeat him.
The only reason he could not destroy the last 5, is because Anti-Monitor at the lowest dregs of his power, built an infinite netherverse inside of himself and pulled what was left of the multiverse into it - which was transfered to The Harbringer upon Monitor's death, as she essentially became him.
Had he not done that, and Spectre not stopped him, Anti-Monitor would have taken the multiverse with ease.
