Skyscrapers of various shapes and sizes stood tall, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the crowds surged like tides, wave after wave.
Looking up at the bright sky, there was none of the gray, gloomy feeling of the Void.
Sunlight poured down, and Old Loki closed his eyes, raising his hands to welcome the long-lost warmth.
After a long, long time, Old Loki lowered his arms and looked at Samuel seriously: "Thank you!"
"I know you miss Asgard and your brother Thor, so stop causing trouble. I allow you to stir up storms, but I advise you to know when to stop."
Samuel gave a noncommittal reminder.
Old Loki surrendered before because of Samuel's mystery and power. Now that he had the chance to leave the Void and fulfill his wish, he naturally knew what to do.
Old Loki nodded solemnly and asked curiously: "Then, what do you, the omniscient and omnipotent King, want?!"
He didn't think Samuel was just interested in the resources of the Void, being a ragged King who picked up and collected garbage. He must have a deeper, grander goal!
Samuel chuckled: "What do I want? I want Starlight, I want the moon, I want everything in the World, I want the World to surrender."
"This is truly a great goal. If it is achieved, you will be crowned with glory and infinite splendor."
"For Asgard?" Samuel smiled and added.
"For Asgard!" Old Loki murmured inwardly.
After confirming that Samuel could indeed take them out of the Void, Old Loki quickly calmed down.
While walking the streets with Samuel to understand the situation of this timeline, he also inquired about Samuel's requirements for the types of materials.
Currently, it was still mainly 'money' and 'equipment'.
Although big guys like Thanos's Sanctuary, Ronan's spaceship, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Sky Carrier were more valuable, they were inconvenient to transport and there was no place to park them.
Furthermore, there were no relevant technical talents to repair or copy the technology, so they could only be put aside for now.
You can't get fat with one bite, the meat is already in the pot, just eat it little by little.
An hour later.
Void, Underground City.
Young Loki had already sorted out the useless materials collected in the past.
Holding the Crocodile Loki with broken teeth, sitting on the sofa that originally belonged to Black Loki, Samuel and Old Loki suddenly appeared in his sight without any warning.
"You're back--" Young Loki suddenly stood up and looked at Old Loki.
Old Loki walked towards Young Loki and Crocodile Loki and whispered about what happened after they left.
Samuel excitedly went straight to the neatly arranged materials and began to pick them out.
He picked out some useful items and threw them into his backpack. Soon, the first little surprise appeared.
"This is the Time Variance Authority's Time Controller, right?"
Samuel held a long, 'handheld console' in his hand. He opened the cover and tried to operate it a few times, but the screen didn't respond.
"Broken?" Samuel asked Young Loki.
Young Loki took a look and shook his head: "I'm not sure either. It was like this when I found it. I tried many methods but none worked."
Samuel nodded and put it in his backpack.
Whether it was broken or out of power, it could be solved.
If it doesn't work in the Marvel Universe, he can go to other Worlds!
Samuel continued to pick, and the second little surprise came quickly.
This was a dull green gem, recognizable at a glance as the Time Stone among the Infinity Stones.
There were many Infinity Stones in the Time Variance Authority. When the quantity was large, they would be thrown into the Void for destruction.
Theoretically, there should be countless Infinity Stones in the Void, but this was the first one he had seen.
These Infinity Stones could not be used in the Time Variance Authority or the Void.
However, Infinity Stones produced by different time branches in the same Universe and the same timeline should be usable when brought back to their original timeline.
After all, the Time Variance Authority reset a timeline.
Even if a deviation occurred at a certain point in time and the resulting time branch was pruned, the ownership of the Stone would not change!
The Time Variance Authority treated the Infinity Stones as garbage because they were useless there and in the Void, and no one could leave the Void.
But, Samuel could!
Although it was like finding a needle in a haystack, if he could really find the Infinity Stones from his own timeline, even if there was only one, it would be a profit!
He could also keep the useless ones to show off and tease people like Thanos and Loki who desperately wanted to get the Infinity Stones.
"If you find any Infinity Stones in the future, keep them for me," Samuel said, putting the Time Stone close to his body.
Young Loki and Old Loki reacted. If they couldn't get out, the Infinity Stones were useless garbage. If they could get out, they were still one of the most powerful forces in the Universe!
Samuel continued to check with anticipation, but unfortunately, besides the Time Controller and the Time Stone, he didn't find any other surprises!
No, he should say there was still one surprise, a big surprise waiting for Samuel to open.
That was the Mjolnir he had been thinking about but had never found!
