From an Islamic perspective, is the extinction of all of humanity seen as possible? How are you as muslims to respond?

I ask this question because I watched "The Animatrix"(2003). In this film, it features a scene where humanity from all parts of the world have joined together to stop robots from exterminating all of humanity, and it features a scene where Muslim soldiers are doing salah before going into the final battle with the robots.

I was confused by this because couldn't the overwhelming force be interpreted as "Yawm Al-Qiyamah"(the day of judgement) and the robots as judges of humanity? Or would it be seen as Al-Malhama Al-Kubra(Armageddon) where Muslims temporarily join forces with non muslims? What I know about Muslims and Islam, it seems complicated. I understand it is forbidden, or at least Makruh(not islamically advisable) to aid the al-kuffar.

So in a scenario where the idea of a world government is being thrown around in response to a potentially world ending event like an alien or robotic threat, where would Muslims have to stand? Like what if a majority of the coalition agrees to kinda restrict the freedom of Muslim's religious practices? Would you wash your hands of the matter entirely or reduce your self temporarily ins service of the greater good?
