So, Loki's escape wasn't on the correct timeline?
Everyone here was intelligent, and upon seeing this, they could likely reach a similar conclusion; it wasn't complicated.
Previously, they knew from Lin Feng's diary that the Time Variance Authority could eliminate excess timelines, incorrect timelines, but they didn't know how. Now, they could finally get a glimpse of the whole picture.
"Excuse me? That 'we'? Who is that?" Loki said, looking bewildered.
He felt like the people in front of him were putting on an act, even more than he did. This world wasn't supposed to have anyone or anything more pretentious than him.
But he hadn't even heard of who these people were. He'd roamed the universe for many years, and there were few forces he hadn't heard of.
Unless it was some indigenous civilization on a planet that hadn't yet entered the universe, then he might not know.
But judging by the ease with which these people could use space portals, they shouldn't be indigenous people from some backward civilization. They seemed like Earthlings.
And the black woman said impatiently, "Last warning, Time Criminal!"
Loki laughed and said, "What a terrible day. I'm so sick of being told what to do by fully armed idiots!"
"So, I'm sorry, this is my final warning to you!"
Loki said firmly. Although his combat strength wasn't particularly outstanding in Asgard, that was in Asgard, which was the most advanced civilization in the universe. But outside of Asgard, his combat strength was still much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he could be considered a master in the universe.
Although he always seemed to be getting beaten up, that was only because he was fighting against some of the strongest people in this universe.
Especially these people in uniform, they looked like combat strength only at level five.
Haven't you heard of a theorem? The more uniform the clothing, the weaker the combat strength. They're just some trashy lackeys.
And he, who had a special battle robe, was undoubtedly the strongest among the strong.
"Get out of my way!" Loki had just finished saying this and was about to walk past when the black woman directly struck him.
Everyone saw Loki floating in mid-air, his face twitching violently, appearing as if in slow motion.
But soon, everyone realized they were mistaken, because while Loki was floating in mid-air, the black woman took out a collar and put it on Loki, then said, "Your time flow rate has been slowed down sixteen times, but the pain is real-time!"
After a while, Loki was slammed to the ground, staring blankly at the sky. He was dumbfounded. What kind of ability was this?
What was going on?
Who was he? Where was he?
Why was he doing this? He felt countless stars flashing in his brain, and he hadn't figured out what had happened.
After a long time, Loki reacted and was taken away by the Time Variance Authority's armed personnel.
Then, the leading black female officer spoke, "Reset the Sacred Timeline!"
He picked up the Tesseract, and one of the soldiers placed a device on the ground. A wave of light swept out, and Loki was pulled into a portal.
Everyone was stunned; the entire video was filled with things they didn't understand.
For example, why did Ant-Man want the Tesseract?
Apart from Tony Stark saying, I knew the Pym family wasn't good people, they knew nothing.
And how exactly did the Time Variance Authority operate, how did they locate Loki, and how did they reset time? Did they just use that device?
They could even control the flow of time, or rather, they could control the flow of other people's time.
This suddenly appearing Time Variance Authority was far too mysterious, and they knew absolutely nothing about it.
Before they could think much more about it, the scene shifted. After Loki passed through the portal, he was taken to a place that looked like an office. Everyone even saw a Skrull Time Criminal there, and someone shouted that his father was on the Goldman Sachs board of directors, clearly a second-generation rich kid, but it was completely useless.
Faced with this situation, Loki's first reaction was to escape, but the black female officer sighed helplessly and then pressed a device. He was instantly returned to his original position.
After being time-reversed twice in a row, Loki immediately knew where the problem lay. Without a doubt, it was the collar around his neck.
The Tesseract he had secretly taken out was also handed over as evidence.
Up until now, he was still threatening the black female officer.
"If you go against me, your end will be miserable!"
But it was useless. He was taken directly to a small room where all his clothes were instantly dissolved, and he was changed into a prison uniform.
There was already a staff member there, looking utterly dejected, who pushed out a thick stack of papers and said, "Please sign to confirm, these are the things you said!"
"What?" Loki said in disbelief.
Then the machine printed another piece of paper, which contained the exact words Loki had just spoken.
"What?"
Evidently, this machine could even sense and spontaneously print out what Loki said.
"This is ridiculous!"
Loki said speechlessly.
Then another piece of paper came out, which made Loki realize that if he didn't sign it, such papers would appear endlessly.
Then he dropped down another level, and in this layer, a little dwarf asked: "Please confirm that you know you are not a robot, but an organic being, and possess something many civilizations call a soul!"
"What? I know myself? Don't many people know they're robots?" Loki felt it was very absurd.
"Thank you for confirming. Please proceed!" The dwarf had no intention of saying anything more to Loki. He'd been doing this job for countless years and had long since lost any enthusiasm.
Loki glanced at the surrounding devices, carefully checking them, and then said, "What if I'm a robot, but I don't know it?"
"The machine will completely melt you. Keep moving, sir!" the dwarf said impatiently.
Meanwhile, in the palace of Asgard, Thor looked at Odin, seemingly confirming, "Dad, Loki really isn't a robot, right?"
Seeing this expression, Odin was a bit speechless and said, "Of course he's not a robot. I picked him up from the Frost Giants' temple. Don't you know this?"
"But I'm afraid there's an accident. What if he's directly dissolved? In this world, there are so many timelines. Who knows if there's a Loki who is a robot? There are even Alligator Loki and Black Loki. It's normal to have another robot Loki!"
Thor said very dissatisfied.
"Alright, I'm not a robot, I'm fine!"
Loki encouraged himself, then smoothly passed through the machine's scan. The machine even produced a picture of his current aura.
Then, still puzzled, he continued forward. Someone was already waiting there.
Next, Loki slowly walked along the queue. At that moment, a voice emerged from the broadcast, which was Miss Time's voice.
"Hello, you might think you made a mistake, that you shouldn't be here!"
Loki turned to look and saw Miss Time on a retro TV on the wall, which showed a cartoon clock.
"Welcome to the Time Variance Authority. I am Miss Time. My job is to make you understand some things before you are judged. Let's not waste time. Sit down, pick up a pen, and listen to me!"
"A long time ago, there was a Multiverse War. Countless timelines fought each other, vying for dominance, and almost completely destroyed everything. But at that time, the all-knowing and all-powerful Time Keepers appeared.
They merged the multiverse into a single timeline, thereby restoring peace. This is the Sacred Timeline!"
As the animated content progressed, those watching outside the screen heard information that shocked them, not too different from what they had guessed before.
There had once been a Multiverse War, the Time Line War that Lin Feng had mentioned.
They had only speculated before, but now, it was a confirmed result.
"Now the Time Keepers maintain everything in the world, ensuring the normal flow of time, but sometimes, there are people like you who deviate from the path set by the Time Keepers. These people are Time Criminals. It could be that you take the lead in resisting, or it could be as simple as being late for work. Regardless of the reason, deviating from the path will cause related events. If not handled in time, it will cause chaos, eventually leading to another Multiverse War.
But don't worry, to avoid this situation, the Time Keepers created the Time Variance Authority, and a group of outstanding workers."
With the actions of the animated figures, everyone finally learned something about the Time Variance Authority's work scenes.
"The Time Variance Authority will intervene and correct the errors, resetting time to the predetermined path. If your actions prevent you from returning to your original timeline, then you must be judged for your crimes. Please be seated, we will arrange a judge for you immediately, ensuring you have your ticket. The next available assistant will receive you. Time Variance Authority, forever by your side!"
After watching the whole segment, Loki found it absurd. What kind of circus performance was this, trying to make him believe something so ridiculous?
