"I am one of everybody."
Azmuth brings Ben and the others up to speed with Aggregor's plan: collecting the Map of Infinity and travelling to the Forge of Creation. Ben, Gwen and Kevin travel to Mikd'lty, where the first piece of it is located.
  • Anti-Magic: As Ultimate Aggregor possesses all of the Andromeda Five's abilities, he naturally has Galapagus' immunity to magic/mana.
  • Batman Can Breathe in Space: Now that Aggregor has the powers of all five Andromeda Galaxy aliens, he no longer requires a space suit to traverse the cosmos.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Subverted and played straight. Ben absolutely demolishes Ultimate Aggregor, beating him into the ground as Ultimate Aggregor doesn't do anything about it. As it turns, however, every blow that Ben dealt was for nothing as Ultimate Aggregor wasn't damaged at all and proceeds to swiftly defeat the entire team.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Mikd'lty is a very hostile planet, which forces the team to wear spacesuits. So, when Ben decides to transform into Big Chill in order to gain the Necrofriggian guards' trust, Gwen asks him wether he would retain the spacesuit when he transforms back or not. He doesn't.
  • Dismantled MacGuffin: The Map of Infinity was created by Professor Paradox, who soon broke it into four pieces and hid them across the galaxy. Ultimate Aggregor desires to assemble it so he can travel to the Forge of Creation.
  • Duality Motif: Mikd'lty as whole has this. It's a Tidally Locked Planet with one half that is on fire, while the other is covered in ice. Also, the team has to fight a two-headed dragon. One of its heads shoots fire, while the other - ice.
  • Game-Breaking Injury: Max gets hit by Ultimate Aggregor's electric attack, leaving him with a damaged nervous system. This forces him to stay at Galvan Prime so he can heal properly, so he stays out of the action.
  • Immediate Sequel: Map of Infinity takes place directly after the end of Ultimate Aggregor.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Upon Ultimate Aggregor mocking how he's absorbed and destroyed all of what was left of the Andromeda Five, Ben absolutely goes to town on the man, smashing him with vehicles, punching him all across Los Soledad, throwing an entire building at him, and being ready to inflict more damage on him in an unbridled rage, only being stopped by Gwen before he lets his rage boil over. Ultimately subverted however, as Aggregor is completely unharmed by Ben's attacks, and proceeds to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle to everyone around him.
    Aggregor: (sneering) Is that the best you could do? Because I didn't feel a thing.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Ben, who's normally the poster child for Casual Danger Dialogue and witty quips while fighting his enemies, becomes utterly enraged when he realizes that Aggregor has essentially killed the Andromeda Five by absorbing their essence, resulting in him brutally beating down the mutated Osmosian without any restraint, to the point where Gwen has to physically restrain him before it gets any worse.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: The team has to fight a two-headed space dragon in order to proceed deeper into the temple.
  • Poor Communication Kills: Ben transforms into Big Chill to try to make peace with the other Necrofriggians that are guarding the first Map piece. Unfortunately, he doesn't properly explain why the group needs the Map, causing the Necrofriggians to believe that he and his friends intend to steal it for themselves.
  • Put on a Bus: Max is injured severely enough that Azmuth has to teleport him to Galvan Prime for treatment.
  • Say My Name: Ben shouts out Aggregor's name twice: first during their battle at Los Soledad, second time at the Mikd'lty temple.
  • Temple of Doom: The first piece of the Map of Infinity is located inside a temple on a Tidally Locked Planet that has Necrofriggians (Big Chills) living on it.
  • Tidally Locked Planet: The first piece is located on Mikd'lty, a planet whose one side is constantly on fire and another which is frozen. The temple where the piece is located is on the border between the two.
  • Touch the Intangible: The other Necrofriggians are able to touch Big Chill, since intangible cancels intangible.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: Azmuth comments that Ben is regressing mentally, which is part of the reason he won’t cross the Godzilla Threshold and give Ben the new Omnitrix (the other being that the device is incomplete).
  • Using You All Along: As it turns out, Ultimate Aggregor was manipulating the team and let them deal with any of the obstacles that could have posed a threat to him.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Ben and co assume that Aggregor will be looking for a new ship after he blew his old one. But as Azmuth points out, he's now so powerful he doesn’t need one.
