Chapter 101. Female Loki Killed Herself! Classic Loki, God of Outcasts!
[The video continued.]
[Faced with Old Loki's question, Loki hesitated for a moment. There was no answer.]
[Seeing that, Boastful Loki, the black man standing on the side, asked.]
["You leave your glorious purpose there?"]
[Loki looked at the situation of this shelter and casually replied, "Something like that."]
[Loki saw that the shelter was a mess, filled with things such as video games and so on.]
[But in the most conspicuous centre area, an incredibly gorgeous looking throne was actually placed there!]
[At this moment, the scene suddenly turned back at the Time Variance Authority.]
[Sylvie escorted the female judge to the TVA's courtroom.]
[Looking at the familiar place, Sylvie spoke with a cold expression...]
["This is where you dragged me after you stole my life."]
["A fitting place, then, to take yours."]
[Seeing that Sylvie was about to kill her, the female judge quickly said, "And what if I said Loki wasn't dead?"]
["Not yet, anyway."]
[Sylvie didn't believe it at all...]
["How is he still alive? And how will saving him get us closer to who's really behind the TVA?"]
[The female judge replied, "It's complicated. When we prune a branched reality, it's impossible to destroy all of its matter."]
["So we move it to a place on the timeline where it won't continue growing."]
["Basically, the branched timeline isn't reset. It's transferred."]
["To where?" Sylvie asked.]
[The female judge spread out her hands, "A void at the end of time."]
[Sylvie thought about it and decided to believe the female judge's words.]
[Then, the female judge took out a TemPad and summoned Miss Minutes.]
[Miss Minutes claimed to be able to reach the void at the end of that time through the Void Spacecraft.]
[But all of this was actually a tactic to delay her. Soon a group of minutemen broke into the room.]
[Sylvie, in her current state, reached out and grabbed the female judge's TemPad and jumped to the high platform of the courtroom.]
[Seeing that Sylvie was outnumbered, the female judge shouted triumphantly...]
["Sylvie? Not thinking of going on the run, are you?"]
["Sooner or later, we'll catch you."]
[After some bickering, the female judge said...]
["Tell you what, you come out, and I'll put you in a time loop. Something not so bad."]
["You can live out your days in a good memory."]
["Do you ... have any good memories?"]
[Hearing that, Sylvie stared at the pruning weapon in her hand for a moment.]
[She whispered in a low voice, "Just one, really."]
[With that, Sylvie took the TemPad, snatching it from the female judge, reached out and powered up the pruning weapon in her hand.]
[Then, without hesitation, she stood up and stabbed herself with the weapon.]
["Whoosh!"]
[There was a flash of sparks. Sylvie's body completely disappeared from the courtroom, leaving no trace.]
["Clang clang..."]
[A pruning weapon fell to the judge's chair.]
[Seeing that strange and horrible scene, the several minutemen froze.]
[One of them turned around and spoke to the female judge...]
["She ... self-pruned."]
[The expression on the female judge constantly changed, obviously stunned by the scene that just happened in front of her.]
[But she still tried to stay calm and said...]
["Good, then she's dead too."]
…
Complete silence.
Watching the screen, everyone saw Sylvie killing herself. The otherworldly live stream room suddenly fell into this silent atmosphere.
Almost everyone's eyes turned to Loki.
"That's amazing ..."
Tony Stark spoke with a sigh...
"I never thought that ... I would actually see someone sacrificing themselves for love in my lifetime."
Stephen Strange also shook his head...
"She was kidnapped by TVA from an early age. Although she successfully escaped, she had to live in hiding for the rest of her life."
"Such a life would be unimaginable to an average person."
Natasha had a bitter smile on her face...
"I guess, because of her terrible life, she never got the opportunity to meet a good man."
"That's why she was so easily … attracted to the liar."
"Hey, hey! Who are you all talking about? Huh?"
Because of the crowd's gloomy words, Loki's cheeks twitched as he grumbled...
"Who said Sylvie pruned herself ... because of me!? Maybe ... Maybe she recalled her happy life in Asgard? "
Even Peter Parker shook his head gently. He looked at Loki and said...
"Mr Loki, if she wants to go back to Asgard, why would she be in that of a hurry to prune herself?"
"You know, Ms Sylvie … wasn't even sure if what the female judge said was true, right?"
"If what she said was a lie, then Sylvie would be committing suicide."
"There's only one reason for her to take such a risk, and that's you!"
"She wants to find you in the Void!"
Peter's voice suddenly turned firm as he looked Loki in the eyes and said...
"The beautiful memories Sylvie was talking about are surely the end of days spent with you on that planet colony before ... The happy memories."
Looking at Peter, who was embarrassed because of his words, Loki opened his mouth. But he couldn't say anything in the end.
At this moment, the God of Mischief's heart also tumbled like the waves at sea. His emotions went up and down, and he couldn't calm down for a while.
'Really?'
'Is there really a woman in another Multiverse who would risk suicide just to see me?'
'This kind of thing sounds... too surreal.'
Looking at Loki's dull face, Strange shrugged his shoulders and casually said to Tony...
"Speaking of which, that Sylvie is a really smart girl."
Tony nodded his head, "Yeah. Before she escaped, she stole the time controller from the female judge!"
The two seemed like they had a good understanding of each other. Peter was once again puzzled and shocked.
'Was this how ... geniuses talk to each other?'
'They could understand each other with only a few words?'
Young Wanda was also very excited to hear those words, "That Tem-thingy!"
"With that thing, doesn't that mean Loki and the others would be able to escape the Void?"
Stephen Strange and Tony Stark looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"It's not that simple."
"Did you hear the conversation between the female judge and Sylvie just now? "
"It seems that the real mastermind behind the TVA may be hiding somewhere around or within this Void!"
[The video continued.]
[In the underground shelter, several Lokis sat in a circle, and even the Alligator Loki was placed in a kiddie pool filled with water.]
["... So, after I vanquished Captain America and Iron Man."]
[Boastful Loki was bragging about his past achievements.]
["I claimed my prize, all six Infinity Stones!"]
[Hearing that, Alligator Loki opened his mouth and gently growled.]
[Classic Loki nodded and laughed.]
["That's alligator for growling and saying 'lair' at the same time."]
[Boastful Loki stared at Alligator Loki in the pool.]
["At least my nexus event wasn't eating the wrong neighbour's cat."]
[Alligator Loki was furious and climbed out of the pool, biting at Boastful Loki's hand.]
["Ah!!!"]
[Seeing the man and an alligator were fighting each other, Classic Loki quickly stepped forward to take down Alligator Loki and threw him into the pool.]
[Beside them, Loki was dumbfounded.]
[At this moment, Kid Loki was sitting at the throne, pointing to Classic Loki and saying...]
["Tell them your story, Loki."]
["Me?"]
[Leaning back in the chair, Classic Loki looked disinterested.]
["Nobody wants to hear about that."]
[Loki: "I would, actually."]
["It's just... I've been wondering because I'm..."]
[Loki's expression became a little more serious, and he surveyed the few Lokis around him, "We're supposed to die, right?"]
["Thanos kills us after Ragnarok."]
["Thanos?"]
[Classic Loki mulled over the name for a while. It seems that he finally felt interested.]
["In my timeline, everything proceeded correctly, my entire life."]
["Until Thanos attacked our spaceship."]
[Loki was shocked when he heard this and quickly asked, "So, you didn't try to stab him?"]
[Classic Loki laughed, "Certainly not."]
[Looking at the few Lokis around him, Classic Loki said...]
["Take no offence, my friends... but blades are worthless in the face of a Loki's sorcery."]
["They stunt our magical potential."]
[However, Boastful Loki, who held a hammer, "But they look awesome."]
["Oh, yes..."]
[Classic Loki sarcastically said, "Especially when they clatter to the ground, just before your neck is snapped."]
[Then he looked at Loki and spoke with a serious face...]
["I cast a projection of myself, so real, even the mad titan believed it."]
["Then, hid as inanimate debris."]
[Hearing that Classic Loki had actually escaped from Thanos with magic, Loki's eyes also turned serious.]
[When he was at the Time Variance Authority, he saw his own future.]
[If there was a choice, Loki wanted to avoid it dying at Thanos's hands.]
["After I faked my death, I simply drifted in space."]
["Away from Thor, away from everything."]
[Classic Loki's expression changed, his mood was obviously complicated.]
["I thought about the universe and my place in it."]
["And it occurred to me that everywhere I went, only pain followed."]
["So I removed myself from the equation. I landed on a remote planet and stayed there in isolation, in solitude. For a long, long time."]
In the live streaming room, Loki's face turned extremely gloomy.
"Wherever you go, only pain follows. Idiot! That's because your fate was set up by someone else."
Loki gritted his teeth and grumbled to himself.
"If your life deviates from this path of suffering, then those TVA people would instantly show up, prune you, and send you to the Void!"
Seeing Loki gnashing his teeth, Tony and Strange looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Being bound to such a horrible sacred timeline was indeed a depressing thing.
"Well, this old guy's life had some twists and turns, but it doesn't seem so tragic."
Tony murmured a few words in a low voice and gently shrugged.
[The video continued.]
[Loki asked, "How did the TVA find you?"]
[Classic Loki lightly replied, "I got lonely."]
[Having said that, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face.]
["To tell you the truth, I missed my brother."]
["And I wondered if he missed me if anybody else did..."]
["But as soon as I took my first steps to get off the planet, the TVA arrived."]
[The expression on Classic Loki's face turned somewhat helpless.]
["Because we, my friends, have but one part to play."]
["The God of Outcasts."]
[Speaking of that, Classic Loki raised his goblet.]
["To the God of Outcasts!"]
[Boastful Loki raised his glass, and even the kid on the throne raised his box drink.]
[Seeing the look on their faces, Loki shook his head and directly stood up from his seat.]
["I'm going."]
["Going where?"]
["Out of this place, out of the Void, back to the TVA." Loki said in a firm voice.]
["We may be good at surviving; we're also good at escaping. I wager that gives me a decent chance as any."]
[Classic Loki coldly said...]
["You won't do either, you'll be brutally murdered."]
[Loki fiercely said, "Well, so be it! That was my destiny, to begin with."]
[Kid Loki, sitting at the throne, looked a little surprised, "You're different. Why?"]
[Snorting a bit, Loki turned back and spoke to the few Lokis around him...]
["No, I'm not, you see? I'm the same, really. I'm the same as all of you."]
["Have any of you met a woman Variant of us?"]
[Classic Loki: "Sounds terrifying."]
["Oh, she is."]
[Loki nodded excitedly, "But that's kind of what's great about her."]
["She's different. She's not trying to take over the TVA, but she's trying to take it down. And she needs me!!!"]
Looking at Loki's self-confidence on-screen, pointing his thumb at himself, live stream room Loki was stunned.
'He's so confident as if everything is under his control.'
'He isn't worried about failure at all, not even death.'
'Is this person really me?'
'Can he really defeat Loki's cursed fate?'
