I see, hear, and read about black holes and their consumption power often. They grow as they consume. Eventually, as they keep growing and consuming, wouldn’t they combine and continue the process until they become so large as to devour everything in existence?

No. The universe is expanding too rapidly to allow this to happen. Certainly black holes will continue to devour matter, but they’ll only have limited amounts close enough. Also, they only devour matter, not spacetime itself, so the universe will continue long after every black hole has evaporated.
