Chapter 289 : Shocking Change!!

"Haha, as expected of someone who has lived for countless years! Compared to that, the two Lokis are as immature as babies."

At this moment, Aizen was certain that the other party was telling the truth.

Among ten lies, there is always one truth. The amusing part is that some people mistake lies for truths and truths for lies.

For example, male Loki—Aizen felt that he had completely fallen for it.

"The truth is often hard to accept."

Loki, now no longer as resolute as before, had a complicated expression in his eyes.

In the past, he would never have cared about the life and death of others, especially sacrificing himself to save them—such a thought was pure fantasy. But now, he had changed and could no longer remain indifferent.

"So, you want to... continue cutting innocent timelines?" Loki asked with some difficulty.

Kang didn't answer. Instead, under the astonished gaze of the two, he raised two fingers and pointed at them. "This time, it's up to you both."

"What do you mean?" Loki asked, bewildered.

Kang shook his head, like a host announcing the list of winners, and suddenly said loudly:

"There are two options!"

"One, you kill me and destroy all of this. Of course, there will be more demons you'll have to face afterward."

"And the second option is... maybe, the two of you can control this."

"This is such a big temptation. If it were me, I might have agreed!" Star-Lord looked envious at this point.

The corner of Yondu's mouth twitched, and he ruthlessly exposed him: "Please, you wouldn't last a second. I don't think you can hold on at all."

"How is that possible!" Star-Lord shook his head decisively.

Just when Yondu was surprised that Quill had changed, the latter confidently declared, "However, I would need at least two seconds. I can't let the name of the Centaurians be tarnished."

What exactly am I expecting? Yondu lowered his head silently, and at that moment, it seemed like little devils and angels appeared before him.

Little Devil: Sooner or later, Quill will disgrace the Centaurianss. Drive him away!

Little Angel nodded frantically: Yes! Yes!

"This is truly incredible," Loki didn't believe it at all. "You're lying!"

"No one would give up this control! The master of time, the master of everything, can't be compared to the Infinity Stones, the ruler of the nine realms, or the cosmic empire!"

Loki couldn't believe that the other party would just give up so easily. 

Kang sighed, the smile on his face disappearing, replaced by a deep weariness. He spoke in a heartfelt tone, "Brother, I am tired, really tired."

"And I'm getting older too, much older than I look. I can't remember how long I've lived and how long I've been working non-stop."

"Now, this game needs young people, full of desire. I am no longer suitable for this role."

"I went through countless possibilities, trying to find a suitable replacement, but found none."

The next moment, Kang looked at Loki and Sylvie with a relaxed expression and said briskly, "However, someone has appeared now, and there are two of you!"

"You've endured all the ordeals and know everything. I am sure you will have no problem."

Kang explained his motives perfectly once again, and now Loki and Sylvie faced two choices: either kill Kang out of personal hatred, leading to a war between the multiverse, or take over the TVA and be benevolent rulers, revealing to the employees who they truly are and the meaning behind their actions.

"Trust me, I think most people can understand," Kang blinked.

"Believe me, there really aren't many who understand," Mobius spoke with disgust from his prison-like office.

He found Kang's nonchalant attitude towards controlling others' lives repulsive. He even felt it was better to be pruned. Although the Void was dangerous, it at least offered freedom and self-determination.

At Kamar Taj, the Ancient One asked, "Do you think these two will accept or reject it?"

"I think Loki might be persuaded, but I'm not sure about Sylvie," Strange replied.

"Why?" Wong was puzzled. Couldn't Sylvie give up her hatred in this situation?

"Because of related events," Strange frowned. "Up to now, Kang hasn't explained why Sylvie was hunted down by the TVA. This is what puzzles me deeply."

The atmosphere was thick with fog at this moment.

Kang had previously mentioned in a surprised tone that there were two of them, implying he hadn't anticipated this outcome.

This contradicts his ability to foresee the future.

And if Kang was merely steering the course of events, why did he arrest Sylvie and avoid mentioning what concerned her the most?

Even Strange felt that Kang never intended to persuade Sylvie at all.

Sure enough, Sylvie's face turned furious, nearly laughing at Kang's arrogance. 

"You treat the lives of others like a child's play, showing no mercy at all."

Kang spread his hands helplessly. "I'm not targeting anyone; this is just the most effective method."

"But I feel like I was targeted!" Sylvie retorted angrily.

This seemed to hit a nerve with Kang, who immediately roared, "Be mature, Sylvie, mature! Murderers, hypocrites, we are not good people, we have all done terrible things!"

In Asgard:

Loki, initially uncomfortable, pointed at the screen with a frown and an unhappy expression, then turned to Thor:

"If I'm not mistaken, is he provoking Sylvie?! 

Why can't he speak properly and explain things clearly? 

I don't think he'd be this angry even if he apologized to Sylvie!"

Thor, looking at Loki's angry face and rapid-fire speech, felt that Loki had truly fallen for Sylvie. 

Never had Loki spoken that way for his brother. Thor nodded to Loki while feeling a twinge of jealousy. On this point, he agreed with Loki: Kang did seem to be provoking Sylvie.

After his outburst, Kang regained his composure in an instant, as if nothing had happened. 

This scene made Sylvie grit her teeth in frustration. Clearly, Kang didn't care about anyone else's feelings or fate.

After a few seconds of silence, giving them time to process his words, Kang spoke sincerely, "But now, we—you—have the opportunity to do those things reasonably and properly."

At this moment, his eyes were filled with hope.

But just a second after Kang finished speaking, his expression suddenly shifted to one of surprise and puzzlement, as if he had seen something terrifying. 

Kang looked around nervously, his breathing unsteady, as a muffled thunder echoed through the castle from outside.
