At the end, the omega is wounded, and makes the jump. However, the wound is fatal, so it goes back, redistributes information as usual to the list of entities it would send it to otherwise, and dies from its wounds. When it dies, as the central processor of the Mimic army, the army goes catatonic, and the war is won.

So at the end, Tom Cruise, the protagonist, the now omega resets time. We turn back time x amount of hours, Tom Cruise the Omega is now back in the helicopter. He retained the knowledge of everything pre-reset. But he set the whole world back by a specific amount. That means the attack on Luvre never happened.

Edge of Tomorrow single-handedly convinced me that even though Tom Cruise is a certified nut-job who totally could do guided tours in the Uncanny Valley if his acting career crashed and died tomorrow, the dude knows his shit backwards when it comes to movies, stories and the audience.

It's confusing in the movie, but the invasion is the day after the helicopter ride. Everything takes place over 2 days and one night. He meets the general in the morning, gets knocked out, conscripted (essentially), and then the next day he goes to the front.
