The Illuminati have created a weapon:
Another "incursion" from an alternate reality has occurred. In about seven hours, the alternate Earth will collide with theirs unless they destroy it first or figure another solution out.
This time, the incursion site is Latveria. The Illuminati teleport there, bringing along the world-destroyer. Just in case.
They travel to the other Earth, only to find that it's completely barren.
They return to their Earth, leaving their anti-matter bomb behind.

Whether you buy into that reasoning or not, that's the stated one.

I don't think blowing up a world that was already dead counts.) Doom would do it as a first resort. It's a crucial difference.
