Chapter 107. Kang the Conqueror! Betrayal! Surrender to the Third Power!

["What?"]

[Seeing the black man suddenly disappear and then appear on the seat at the back of the elevator, both Lokis were surprised.]

[Sylvie jerked around, but before she could raise her blade, the man disappeared from the chair and then appeared behind Sylvie.]

[She turned around and slashed, but only into the wall of the elevator.]

[This time, the man, like a wisp of smoke, completely disappeared from the elevator.]

["Where..."]

[The two Lokis looked at each other, looked left and right, with an uncontainable look of horror on their faces.]

[This elusive means they had never heard of it before, let alone seen it.]

[At that moment …]

[Ding!]

[With the sound of the elevator arriving at the floor, the doors suddenly opened, and the man stood in front of the elevator doors with a smile on his face, holding a half-eaten apple and waving at the two Lokis.]

["Come on in."]

Knowing already that this man wasn't easy to handle, Loki and Sylvie looked at each other and stepped into the man's office with wariness on their faces.]

[Looking at two Lokis sitting in front of his desk with a watchful face, the man played with a watch-like trinket. He spoke with a smile ...]

["It's been a long journey for you, hasn't it?"]

["A lot of running, a lot of pain."]

["And you... You're a flea on the back of a dragon. In for one hell of a ride. But you did manage to hang on."]

["Mmm-mmm. I guess that counts for something."]

[Listening to the man, his tone was unabashedly high. Loki coldly said...]

["I'm not sure you quite understand the situation. You've lost, we've found you."]

["Duh. Of course, you did."]

[The man's face didn't change, as if he was talking about a usual matter.]

[Seeing that, Sylvie couldn't stand it anymore. her blade went straight for him.]

[However, her blade missed again...]

[At the moment when Sylvie swung her blade, the man moved from his chair. He suddenly reappeared back in his chair.]

["Oh, a swing and a miss. Hahaha ..."]

[Looking at Sylvie's disappointed face, the man proudly laughed.]

["So, we're still doing that, hmm?"]

[The two Lokis froze in place with their weapons raised, unable to advance or retreat.]

[The man simply took out a file from under the desk, took two sheets of paper from it and displayed them in front of the Lokis.]

["You can't kill me. Because ... I already know what's going to happen."]

[The two Lokis came forward and read the papers, realising that what they just said was recorded on the piece of paper in front of them.]

[But Loki remained unconvinced, "Huh, it's a parlour trick."]

[The man laughed, "Okay. Don't you wonder how I'm able to get out of the way just before you kill me?"]

[Sylvie coldly reached out...]

["No. It's because of that little TemPad you have there."]

["Right..."]

[A mysterious look appeared on the man's face...]

["But how do I already have it loaded up with everything I need to know to keep from being killed by you two?"]

["It's easy. I know it all."]

["And I've seen it all."]

["Everything you guys did on Lamentis, I saw. All the stuff the TVA didn't know about, I knew... All the scheming, all the... talking. That little look by the lake."]

[The grin on the man's face gradually loosened...]

["Quite sentimental, very touching stuff, by the way."]

[Sylvie gritted her teeth, still trying to refute, "No, we broke out of your little game. That's how we got here."]

["No! Wrong."]

[The black man held out his hand and traced a path across the desk while saying in a tone that left no room for doubt...]

["Every step you took to get here; Lamentis, The Void, I paved the road!"]

[Then, he pointed to Loki and Sylvie with two fingers, respectively.]

["You ... you just walked down it."]

"Are you kidding me? This guy ..."

Watching until this point, not to mention the two Lokis on the screen, even in the otherworldly live streaming room, there was a general outcry.

"This mastermind was that powerful?"

Peter's expression completely froze. For a moment, his scalp felt numb and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

'Being able to know anything that happens in advance!'

'Such an incredible ability was simply on the level of a mythical deity, right?'

"No way. How can anyone win against such a guy?"

Young Wanda lost her voice in alarm, and her already white face instantly turned much paler.

"Knowing everything ..."

Strange chewed the sentence in a low voice, and his face suddenly became solemn.

'The mastermind behind Time Variance Authority, if this kind of omniscience that can foresee everything really exists, it means that he was already invincible!'

'Anyone in the universe, even if the thought of confronting him rose in their minds, this man would be able to anticipate it beforehand!'

'It's impossible to fight an enemy like that.'

"Hiss ..."

Even Loki drew a sharp breath at this point, his expression grave to the core, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

After getting 'the World', Loki thought he had become the nemesis of the Time Variance Authority.

No matter how powerful those Minutemen's time devices were, they would be of no use against his Stand.

But ... if the mastermind could anticipate anything, the situation would be completely different!

'Omniscience means omnipotence!'

No matter how powerful time stopping was, there was a limit to how long it could be stopped. If the other party could target that weakness ... Loki may be in trouble.

After all, the Time Variance Authority could prune the Classic Loki, who had a wealth of experience. They couldn't be underestimated.

At this moment, Tony suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, here we go again. First, being able to condense the Multiverse into one sacred timeline, and now omniscience. Why are these guys so good at bluffing?"

"Huh? Bluffing?"

Peter Parker was a little confused and looked at Tony with a puzzled expression.

After discovering that the mastermind was actually someone else, Tony was refreshed. His enthusiasm was far beyond what it was before.

Everyone saw the proud look on Tony's face.

"If this man is really so powerful that he could know everything happening in the universe, then why did Sylvie successfully escape for so many years?"

"Even ... letting her kill so many TVA employees while she was on the run!"

Hearing that, everyone looked at each other. Their stiff expressions of shock were gradually loosening.

Tony continued...

"I think that man is using the same tactic Mobius used before. Playing mind games with them!"

"First, crush their confidence, making them lose momentum... then take control!"

Hearing that, Strange snapped back to his senses and looked down in contemplation...

"Mobius intended to use Loki to catch Sylvie. Then... if that guy is doing the same thing, he has his own purpose."

"Of course."

Tony nodded his head without hesitation...

"He welcomed the two Lokis into his office. Making such a sacrifice, his intentions won't be a small thing."

Loki's face returned to normal as he coldly said...

"Whatever he's after, it's not going to get past that woman."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Loki paused and added...

"I can see very clearly that since seeing this castle, that woman's mind has been filled with nothing but anger and hatred."

"Before that, she couldn't even step through the castle doors!"

"Such an outright vendetta, no matter how sweet his words would be, he won't be able to get any benefit from her."

Natasha Romanoff suddenly said...

"If that Sylvie would rather die than submit, would this guy change his tactics?"

At this, even Loki's expression slightly faltered.

By this point, even Tony, the mouthiest of them all, didn't outright deny the horrific ... time abilities possessed by the man on-screen.

If a man like that changed his tactics and went straight for the kill, neither of the two Lokis would be able to make it out of that castle alive!

[The video continued.]

[The man claimed that all of Loki and Sylvie's actions were under his control and that he was only doing so in the hope that they would achieve true transformation through these actions.]

[Being hit by this series of amazing information made their heads dizzy. Both Lokis were in some kind of life-doubting situation, and they were both stunned silly!]

[At this point, the screen changed and went back to the Time Variance Authority.]

[The female judge was sorting out all kinds of materials and seemed to be preparing to make a run for it.]

[Then Mobius entered.]

[Seeing that the pruned Mobius came back alive, the judge was shocked.]

[These two good friends, due to conflicting beliefs, simply couldn't agree and finally had to fight.]

[However, Mobius was actually not that good at fighting. He was knocked to the ground by the female judge in a single strike.]

[Instead of pruning him again, the judge picked up the information she had put together and placed it in her briefcase, then headed into a portal.]

[Mobius asked where she was going, but the judge left only one sentence...]

["In search of free will."]

Watching that, Tony frowned and whispered.

"This judge is clearly betraying the Time Variance Authority and running away if the man is really as knowledgeable and all-knowing as he claims to be. Where can that woman run to?"

Strange listened with a slight shock and suddenly clapped his hands.

"Sure enough, that man is just bluffing! There must be a limit to his abilities too!"

"This should be right."

Natasha Romanoff nodded her head.

"Otherwise, Sylvie wouldn't be able to escape for so long."

"Although, what caught my attention more was ..."

As a veteran spy, Natasha's focus was different from anyone else's.

"That judge sorted out so many materials before she fled, and she didn't forget to take them with her when she left. In my opinion, this is obviously a gift to whomever she will take refuge under."

Seeing Tony and Strange looking at her, Natasha gently shrugged...

"Please, in my occupation, this kind of thing is the norm."

"How will her new boss trust her if she doesn't give up some valuable information?"

"That ..."

There was a faint hint of disbelief in Tony's eyes.

'Taking away some of Time Variance Authority's intelligence to another power?'

'How did this become a spy battle?'

'And ... another power?'

Strange was suddenly frightened and whispered...

"If that third power is really strong enough to shelter the judge, can it be said that … the new boss that this woman would take refuge under is also a figure of the same level as that man?"

"No way!"

"This is too exaggerated!"

Listening to Strange's mind-blowing scenario, there was another series of gasps in the live streaming room. Wanda and the others understood the implications.

'Is there more than one guy who knows everything and can roam freely in the timeline?'

'It's going to be chaos.'

[The video continued.]

[In the old castle at the end of time, the man ... Kang the Conqueror opened up about the past to Loki and Sylvie.]

[It turns out that many years ago, a variant of Kang was a scientist in the 31st century.]

[He accidentally discovered the existence of the Multiverse.]

[Then Kangs of the Multiverse began to communicate with each other. For a long time, they coexisted peacefully and even shared important scientific knowledge. Learning from each other's strengths.]

[But the days of peace didn't last.]

[Before long, the evil versions of Kang also appeared. They wanted to conquer the Multiverse.]

[The Multiversal War was started.]

Seeing that, Tony Stark sneered...

"Sure enough! The Multiverse was supposed to be a normal thing!"

"The development of the timeline of each universe won't lead to the collapse of any universe!"

Strange also nodded his head.

"Since the Multiverse existed from the beginning, then … those Time-Keepers that fused the Multiverse into one sacred timeline are all fake!"

At this time, Tony's heart was filled with curiosity.

'A 31st-century scientist would be able to get the ability to travel through the Multiverse at will with his research.'

'So, can I, being born in the 21st century, do this?'

[The video continued.]

["Each variant fighting to preserve their universe and annihilate the others."]

[The man ... Kang the Conqueror, had an exclamatory look on his face.]

["This was almost the end ... ladies and gentlemen, of everything and everyone!"]

[Hearing that, Sylvie spoke in a sarcastic tone...]

["And then the Time-Keepers came along and saved us all."]

[What she said was the version mentioned in Time Variance Authority's propaganda.]

[Kang the Conqueror clasped his hands together and uttered an exaggerated prayer.]

["Amen ..."]

[Then he shook his head without hesitation.]

["No! Hehehe no, this is where we diverge from the dogma..."]
