Kang's unusual expression suddenly made many people nervous, especially those in the Marvel MCU world.
At the end of time, where they stood, the flow of time was unstable. Any slight anomaly could amplify into something terrifying.
The dull thunder in the distance was particularly unsettling, suggesting something ominous was afoot.
Loki and Sylvie, too, were anxious, puzzled by Kang's sudden change in demeanor. After a few tense moments, the strange sound ceased, and Kang, with a shocked expression, finally spoke:
"We've just crossed the threshold."
"What threshold?" Loki asked cautiously.
Kang's expression relaxed completely, as though a great burden had been lifted. He smiled and continued, "I always knew everything... up to a certain point."
"And that point was about seven or eight seconds ago. Right now, I know nothing. I can't predict what will happen next."
As Kang finished speaking, the camera panned out, revealing a horrifying sight. The closed loop of the time stream, which had previously converged countless timelines, began to splinter into hundreds of branches. Each new branch led to a different future!
Now, all timelines were no longer restricted. They began to flow freely into the unknown!
At this moment, shock, puzzlement, and confusion appeared on the faces of countless viewers.
There were no signs whatsoever, nothing seemed to be happening, so why had the flow of time suddenly upgraded!?
Kang didn't offer an explanation; he simply stated that his predictive ability had vanished.
Kamar-Taj.
Even Strange, gifted in magic, was at a loss, unable to make even a slight guess or inference.
It was utterly incomprehensible.
But in Kamar Taj, as the possessor of the Time Stone for thousands of years, there was still something to be gleaned from the ancient records.
"Shocking!" Ancient One suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing the bewildered looks on the faces of the others, Ancient One elaborated:
"I believe it's highly likely that some powerful being unleashed a tremendous burst of energy, disrupting the timeline."
"Of course, we cannot discount the possibility that Kang himself has tampered with the timeline."
Besides these two scenarios, Ancient One couldn't conceive of any other explanations.
Strange's expression also betrayed deep concern because neither of these conclusions boded well.
The former hinted at an unknown crisis, with no one certain whether this being was benevolent or malevolent.
The latter was even more troubling. If Kang had indeed covertly altered countless timelines, then everything he had claimed so far was a complete falsehood.
And observing these sudden upgrades in countless timelines,
In New York, inside Professor Pym's miniature building, Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, who was in the midst of his workout, suddenly froze in shock.
Something had just clicked in his memory!
That in the quantum realm, time remained unaffected by external changes!
So, had Kang truly eradicated all of the upgraded timelines!!?
[Seeing Kang's relaxed and even pleased expression, Loki's anger intensified instead 🙂
["So you just sit there so nonchalantly, doing nothing, leaving us to decide your fate!?")
[Kang simply nodded: "Exactly. Either accept the fruits of my life's work, or end me with a blade and wait for someone to return here again."
"A clever verbal trap concocted through intimidation."
In the DC world, Deadpool, having just been thrashed by a long-legged demigod, lounged on the beach, humming to himself.
"Why?" Wonder Woman queried, rubbing her hands.
Deadpool rolled over and smirked:
"Actually, there's a third option: walk away without accepting any terms."
"And let this joker watch as countless timelines unravel like yarn balls. Do you think he'll be as indifferent as he claims?"
"At the end of the day, it's his problem, not ours," said Diana, somewhat taken aback by the situation, though the man before her was surprisingly polite.
"This is another form of reincarnation, darling," Kang smirked, facing Silvi. "Or rather, you could say it's thrilling."
Silvi sneered back, "You expect me to believe that? This is just another one of your lies! Every word you say is meant to manipulate."
"It's like you're manipulating the TVA behind everyone's back!" She had distrusted every word from him since she walked through the door, feeling persecuted by his very existence.
Kang shrugged calmly, insisting, "No lies, no manipulation."
To bolster his credibility, Kang removed a sophisticated device resembling a time controller from his hand and placed it before them.
After setting down the device, Kang looked relieved, reclining on the table with the gentlest, most harmless smile they had ever seen.

"In the captain's meeting room of the Seireitei, emotions flickered across many captains' faces. Not all of them carried the same weight of responsibility.
But there were exceptions, like Kyoraku Shunsui, and Hitsugaya Tōshirō!
"Isn't it chilling?" Tōshirō suddenly shivered, speaking passionately.
"What's gotten into you, Captain Hitsugaya?" Suì-Fēng questioned with dissatisfaction.
Unohana Retsu, captain of the fourth division, smiled softly. "Is something the matter, Captain Hitsugaya? Can I assist you?"
Unable to contain himself, Tōshirō pointed at Kang on the screen and exclaimed loudly:
"Haven't you noticed? His smile, his expression, it's strikingly similar to someone else's!"
"I'll never forget that textbook innocent smile!"
---
Upon hearing Hitsugaya Tōshirō's revelation, the expressions of all the captains abruptly shifted, darkening gradually.
Kyoraku Shunsui, normally nonchalant, raised his Kabuto hat and offered a smile, saying something nobody wanted to hear:
"Tōshirō has a keen eye for observation."
"Kang's smile is indeed identical to that of our former fifth division captain, Aizen Sōsuke."
"So, what exactly is he pretending to be?"
