After two weeks of searching, the Master and Missy found disguised lifts, but Missy accidentally summoned the Cybermen in her attempt to escape. Unable to return to the Doctor's TARDIS due to how quickly time was moving on the floor of the Cybermen, the Doctor insisted that they had to prepare for a confrontation. As the Doctor prepared to fight, the Master explained to Missy how he had blown the dematerialisation circuit in his TARDIS, which was surrounded by Cybermen on the bottom floor. Missy, recalling an instance where "a very scary lady" had pushed him up against a wall and insisted that he always keep a spare dematerialisation circuit, pushed the Master against the wall and insisted that he always keep a spare dematerialisation circuit, revealing the spare dematerialisation circuit she kept on her person. Before departing, however, the pair asked what the Doctor's plan was, knowing that he wouldn't be able to save everyone on the ship. As the Doctor explained that he wanted to save the farmers and children simply because it was the right thing to do, and tried to implore the Master to stand with him in the battle, the Master made his refusal of the offer known, and he left with Missy.

As they prepared to depart, Missy offered to hug the Master and, after stating her enjoyment for being him, she stabbed the Master in the back, mortally wounding him in order to force his [[regeneration]] into her. However, Missy made the wound precise so that the Master would have time to reach his TARDIS before the regeneration occurred. As he was helped into the lift, the Master asked Missy to explain herself, and she told him she planned to stand with the Doctor, believing they had been leading towards it their entire lives. Furious, the Master declared that he would never stand with the Doctor, and shot Missy in the back with his [[laser screwdriver]] at full blast, mortally wounding his future incarnation past the point of regeneration. Laughing, the Master declared that their perfect ending was always going to be "shoot[ing] [them]selves in the back." Still laughing and in pain, the Master returned to Floor 1056 in the lift, leaving Missy to die alone.

The Master sought to survive his death by travelling to the human colony on [[Kiameth]], taking it over and using the energy of the planet to heal himself as the colony flourished for a time, until he unleashed a sentient [[entropy wave]] that destroyed Kiameth and then spread across the universe. In the ruins of Kiameth, the Master used a time scoop to take five of his previous incarnations out of their timelines and brought them to his castle, intending to use the [[Attornium]] to take their lives in a desperate bid for his survive, though he accidentally took [[Kamelion]] and [[Jo Grant]] instead of his intended targets. The assembled Masters decided to sacrifice Jo for fun, but were interrupted by {{Gomez}}, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masterful (audio story)|Masterful]]'') at a point in her timeline before she injured him, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') who exposed the "Saxon" Master’s plan and used the time scoop to scatter them along the timeline of Kiameth, to see if any of the Masters would find a chance of redemption by either stopping the wave or salvaging something from its aftermath. The "Saxon" Master found himself amidst the evacuation of Kiameth, where he was found by the {{Jacobi|n="War" Master}}, who took him to the entropy wave to evaluate how unstable it was, and the two resolved to save Kiameth to end the entropy wave. However, Kamelion convinced the "Saxon" Master that the "War" Master was plotting against him, so he abandoned him to join forces with his "Young" and "Bruce" incarnations against Missy, only for Kamelion to explode, as he had been working with Missy all along, killing the "Young" and "Bruce" Masters, while the "Saxon" Master managed to escape. He returned to his castle, but was poisoned by the "War" Master, who had realised that the wave was their own future incarnation. As he turned off the Attornium, the resulting [[Temporal paradox|paradox]] erased the "Saxon" Master's arrival on Kiameth, bringing the universe back to normal.
