Chapter 111: Rest
Kang obviously did not expected this situation and looked confused, not knowing what to do.
"In fact, you don't need to look at me like that. I have a reason for refusing, mainly because I don't like the place here."
"..."
"Do you really not consider it?" Kang still tried to make a final effort.
"Once you take over my position, you will be an all-knowing and omnipotent being. You can do whatever you want without worrying about any consequences and enjoy eternal life."
"Thanks, but no thanks."
Jack waved his hand and said, "I just want to know how to leave here and return to my own timeline. I still have a mission to complete. As for taking over your position, perhaps she," he pointed to Sylvie, "can be considered."
"She? She would be a suitable candidate," said Kang, looking at Sylvie regretfully. "Unfortunately, because of your existence, she hasn't completed my trial, and she's not ready yet."
"What trial?" Sylvie asked, frowning and looking at Kang with confusion.
"Ah...well," Kang seemed hesitant to answer and looked embarrassed. His eyes darted between Loki and Hill before he chuckled awkwardly.
"Actually, according to the original timeline, you and Loki were the ones I chose as my successors. You were supposed to work together, experience life and death, know each other, fall in love, and become more mature before coming here. But because of someone's arrival, everything was ruined."
"Hey, wait a minute! What did you just say?"
Sylvie and Loki, the two parties involved, hadn't spoken yet, and Jack interrupted them with a shocked expression, pointing to Sylvie and Loki and saying, "The two of them will love each other? Are you serious?"
Sylvie and Loki finally realized what was going on, and they looked at each other with slightly disdainfully, moving two steps away from each other.
"That was my plan, Otherwise, Loki would never truly grow up without experiencing both the tests of life and death and love. He would always be a kid who wanted to conquer the Earth to prove himself. While Sylvie was also just an Avenger who only knew about revenge." Kang explained.
"..."
Loki wanted to argue with Kang but couldn't think of anything to say because his mind was blank.
Sylvie suddenly blushed and gritted her teeth without saying a word. She picked up her knife and rushed toward Kang, even more violent than before.
"Don't be angry, dear, relax."
Kang dodged Sylvie's curved knife and repeatedly waved his hand to calm her down. But Sylvie wouldn't listen, and seeing that her attack didn't work, she continued to strike with deadly moves, seemingly stubborn to injure Kang until he was disabled.
"Ah"
Jack sighed helplessly, watching the two of them, his lips slightly opened as if he wanted to say something. But just then!
"Boom"
Suddenly, a dull roar came from the empty space outside, and the whole hall seemed to shake three times.
Kang, who had been smiling and joking a moment ago, turned pale at the sound and didn't even bother to dodge. He just stood there, looking around with a look of surprise and suspicion.
"Sphhhlt"
He stopped, but Sylvie didn't. Her threatening knife pierced straight into his right abdomen.
"Wait..."
Jack's face changed slightly, wanting to say something, but it was already too late.
"Hehe, it's actually this future... I'm not too disappointed."
Kang slowly lowered his head, looking at the knife on his stomach, then raised his head to look at Sylvie with a sincere expression: "Sorry, child, you could have been a good person."
"I know" Sylvie's face was filled with the satisfaction of revenge, and she slowly let go of her hand.
"You should have waited before making a move" Jack quickly walked up and helped the shaky Kang sit on a chair while also checking his wound.
A few minutes later, Jack shook his head regretfully: "The artery has been pierced, you won't live long."
"Oh, I've been looking forward to this moment."
Kang appeared very calm about his death, even with a sense of relief.
He turned his head to look out the window and whispered, "Look, the sacred timeline... is falling apart!"
When Jack heard this, he looked up at the window suddenly.
At this point, what was once a circular shape of the sacred timeline was slowly spreading out into branches of time, like the branches of a tree. Soon, the branches had spread over half of the void and were still growing.
"Now it's getting interesting."
Seeing this scene, Jack sighed and began to doubt whether his decision was correct. This situation seemed worse than he had imagined.
"Is it because of you?"
He looked at Kang, puzzled, and asked, "Because you died, no one is controlling the timeline?"
"Some...some of it..."
Kang's face was a little pale, but he still struggled to explain to Jack, "But not all of them. Someone has woken up an extraordinary power that is strong enough to affect the whole multiverse. She is not fighting against the sacred timeline, She accidentally connected with other timelines."
"She?"
Jack frowned and began to wonder.
'Which female character in the MCU has this kind of power traveling in the multiverse?'
'It's her!'
Jack immediately figured it out who it was. The woman who almost tore apart Thanos with her hands.
"The Multiversal War...is about to begin again."
Suddenly, Kang's face turned strangely red, and he stared at Jack with a piercing gaze, putting the watch back into Jack's phone, whispering, "It's all up to you now."
After saying this, Kang's face showed a relieved smile as he sat back in his chair, looked at the ceiling, and gradually stopped breathing.
"Ah"
Jack sighed and reached out to close Kang's eyes. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the timeline that now covered the entire void.
The original Sacred Timeline could still be seen, but it was much smaller.
"What do we do next?"
Bucky walked over and looked outside, his face filled with worry.
"There's not much we can do."
Jack thought for a moment, his voice low and determined. "We're going home."
