- Phyllis Peach, after breaking the worlds and timelines via the Stone of Wisdom's power The War of the Anti-Christ is a part of the Period of Tribulations after being altered by Moloch and his minions. It isthe main events of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Anti-Christ Saga and begins by the end of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Harvest Saga. It's also the final battle in the first half of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow, where Michael took over the role of main antagonist as the fifth tribulation. The War of Anti-Christ serves as the Team Witness' final battle against Michael Langdon, inside a twisted timeline because of Merged Phyllis Peach, who broke through dimensional walls and caused wormholes.

Phase 1 (Prologue) - Phyllis Peach
While spreading the Croatoan Pendamic via her abilities, Phyllis attempted to summon both Team Witness members and the Alliance of Freedom from two timelines into Planet Sorensen-444, where she'll eat them all and fulfill the contract between her and Moloch, also paving ways for the endgame of Michael Langdon and his forces. Phyllis had already calculated the plans and decide to let Michael to take over the war's operation once she destroyed the Order of Flourish once and for all.

Phase 2 (Major) - Michael Langdon
After Phyllis was killed thanks to Selina Strawberry's sacrifice and Calvin Cranberry's efforts, the Croatoan Pandemic was stopped. The chaos seemly paused a bit, but in fact, it still existed. Michael immediately exploited the chaos in timeline and gathered the Team Witness, the Rogues, the Hexenmeister Community, La Nueva Familia de Arzonia and the Order of Flourish, in an attempt to kill them all and establish the United Kingdom of America's reign of terror. Michael planned to take them down first before he moved on to eliminate Sith Empire and assassinate Darth Hades, the only Balam Alliance Emperor that he hadn't heard of during World War III.

Working together, Katarina Couteau and Ichabod Crane went on to stop him and fought against him in many worlds including an alternate Rome on Planet Sorensen-444.

In the meantime, Michael planned to use Twelve Nethers and the Dark Curse as his tools to cause mayhem and destruction throughout the Multi-Universe. To achieve that, Michael used the heart of his former lover, Plaisir Permafrost, after the latter banished her evil twin, Merciless, and fused Melancholia under her own control. Via using Plaisir's heart under Sorensen's encouragement, Michael had summoned the Dark Curse and managed to eliminate the predominant members of the Hexenmeister Community, including Emma Swan, who died with Gideon Gold, Michael's puppet and the one who would destined to kill Emma for good. However, thankfully, Plaisir managed to survive after using the stolen crystal of Nether Noirton as her new heart, before pretending to be Michael's assistant in order to thwart his plans.

Meanwhile, not every villains followed Michael's plans even though they appeared as enemies to the Witnesses, and some even redeemed themselves. A case in point, Vanifer remained antagonizing towards humanity and Team Witness since she had her own ambition as well. She also showed no fear towards Michael and resented his methods of twisting the timeline, making her a neutral ground leader that was later taken out by Team Witness.

Although, after the final battle between her and the Team Winess, Vanifer died in an honorble sacrifice to protect Team Witness from the Black Fairy, technically redeeming herself and annoucing the end of her Empire of Fiery Pit once and for all. Nether Kaysie the Demon Princess was also disgusted by Moloch's uncaring nature, so she helped Plaisir and Kristen Kiwifruit to take down Evil Christine, annoucing Evil Christine's final death and avenging Colin Van Bilj.

Hiding inside Michael's faction as a spy, Plaisir used her Nether ability to help Ichabod and Abbie to split Sorensen from Michael, so that Ichabod would give Michael his final blow. However, during their final struggling, Plaisir lost her left arm while Jeremy Crane, Nick Hawley and Abbie Mills died one after another, leavin Ichabod, Katrina and Jenny utterly devastated.

After being seperated from Michael's body, Sorensen abandoned Michael. Then, Michael accepted his fate and peacefully died when he was killed by Ichabod with the Sword of Methuselah. Before his demise, Michael comforted a crying Plaisir before peacefully accepting his demise, instead of screaming like a coward or questiong himself why he had lost.

Soon afterwards, Michael was condemned into Hell with many of his dead minions, including Atticus Nevins, the Black Fairy, Mercedes the Merciless, Evil Christine. Carl Robinson was killed, but was soon transformed into an Elemental Warrior after being revived by Earth Armateus. However, a few of Michael's allies, including Sorensen and Guinevere Arzonia, escaped their punishment when Moloch casted his enemies out of Planet Sorensen before they could ever reach King Washington's Palace.

The battle ended with the overwhelming victory of the Witnesses and their allies, but the loss was also overwhelming and almost irreversable. The corrupted timeline was mostly restored by the Reality Council, but most of the casualities shall remain dead forever and ever. The trauma will scar many characters and influenced their personality. Even though having her arm regenerated, Plaisir also defeated her inner darkness and fused with Melancholia without losing her free will, but she had to leave Ichabod forever and stay beside Katarina in order to stop a time paradox. What was worse, Ichabod Crane also died after killing Michael with the Sword of Methuselah, which would later taken by the returned Jasmine Porcelain.

Therefore, in spite of the bittersweet outcome as well as Michael's demise, Team Witness cost so much that it took Selina a year to recover and find Ichabod's soul and Abbie's successor, in order to bring both of them back. The Rogue retained the memory of Michael's demise and Abbie's memories. Meanwhile, Plaisir is the only one who was mourning Michael's death, though she had no wish to avenge him.
