First, let’s review what we know about the necrosword. When Gorr finds the sword, it’s in the possession of a recently deceased being who the gods have just slain. Notice this being is completely covered in darkness, like the black berserkers that Gorr summons throughout the movie. It could be that, if Gorr had the sword for several years, then this darkness would have covered him as well.

The sword appears to have an intelligence. We see it call out to Gorr in its first scene. It whispers his name, and shows him images of eternity, the bifrost-. Basically Gorr’s evil plan in the movie was never his evil plan. This plan was created by the sword, and it seeks out hosts to help it complete its quest to kill all the gods.

Think of the necrosword like the one ring in Lord of the Rings. The ring is evil, and it's embedded with the consciousness of the dark lord sauron. But the ring is also parasitic. It drains the life from people who use it, corrupting them [Bilbo reaching for the ring]. We also see this with Gorr. The sword puts these black veins in his body, his mouth is black and filled with fangs. And, after the sword is gone, he immediately says “I’m dying.”

The ring is also trying to make its way to Sauron, just as the necrosword is trying to kill all the gods.

Now remember that Lord of the Rings metaphor, because we’re going to call back to it a little later on. No spoilers.

We also learn that the necrosword has been around since the dawn of time, and that it has been passed down for billions of years, with the purpose of killing gods. Kind of like if Richard Dawkins embedded his essence into a weapon, like Sauron did the one ring.

Hold on [thinking] yes, that is the weirdest sentence I have ever spoken.

So that’s what we know about the sword. Very old, has an intelligence, corrupts people, and wants to kill gods. Now let’s offer up some informed speculation, figure out why the sword wants to kill gods, and who is actually behind this madness.

First, the sword has been around since the beginning of time. Well, time began at the big bang. And we happen to know a thing or two about the big bang [wong explaining infinity stones]. So the infinity stones have been around since the dawn of time. They are the concentrations of six facets of the universe. And one of those facets is time–so this stone’s origin marks the beginning of recordable time.

And the stones also protect reality from threats that we can’t even imagine. We’ve alsos seen the stones endow certain beings with magical powers. Like Carol Danvers, the Vision, Wanda, and Pietro–and maybe other beings like Thor, Heimdall, and Agatha–I’ll explain in a bit.

So all of these stones and the sword were created at the dawn of time, at the source of the big bang. The big bang was an explosion of energy that stretched outward for billions of years. and , in the movie, we see the center of the universe. It's where eternity resides. The temple is a physical construct that is there to protect Eternity. And eternity can only be reached with a bifrost.

The bifrost is, of course, technology used by the asgardians to travel across the universe. And I’ve theorized in the past that Odin created the bifrost using energy from the space stone. Think about it. He had the stone, invented the bifrost, then conquered the nine realms. Afterwards, he felt bad, banished hela, and stored the tesseract on earth, in norway.

In thor 1, the tesseract is destroyed. This seems kind of permanent. Then, Thor goes to earth, collects the tesseract for Odin, and boom, the bifrost is suddenly fixed. Because they used the tesseract to repair it.

Anyways, it's appropriate that it takes the energy of the space stone–the bifrost–to bend space so you can re-enter the birthplace of the space stone–which would be the center of the universe. And this is the exact location that the necrosword would have come from, because it has existed, quote, since the dawn of time.”
