Chapter 1116: Father and Son (End)
"Can you tell me what method you used to summon Alioth?" Loki, holding Mjolnir, looked at Old Loki and asked.
Old Loki shook his head and said: "Nothing special. I already said, it devours gods. As long as I lift the illusion magic that shields this place, it will naturally be attracted here by the aura of so many Lokis..."
Old Loki appeared somewhat decadent. After sighing, he said: "You want to deal with Kang the Conqueror, right? I advise you to save it. Even if you possess Mjolnir, you can't beat him."
"Kang the Conqueror, is this the name of the director of the Time Variance Authority?" Sylvie immediately walked up, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Old Loki, saying: "Tell me in detail, what is going on?"
Old Loki appeared somewhat indifferent. He shook his head and said: "What else could be going on? A lunatic with the ability to travel through time, whose goal is to rule the entire universe. The Time Variance Authority is just one of his armies."
Old Loki changed his posture, leaning more relaxedly on the sofa, and then opened his mouth to say: "In the past, when the universe only had one Sacred Timeline, there was only one Kang. But later, the Sacred Timeline split, the multiverse formed, and Kang became many."
"But he didn't come from splitting. Every Kang is actually him in a new timeline created when Kang the Conqueror travels through time."
"It's just that every Kang will discover the secret of the timeline and possess the ability to traverse timelines, so there are so many time travelers in the multiverse..."
"What abilities does he have?" Loki asked: "Is his combat power very strong? About what level is he at?"
"Actually, he is not good at fighting." Old Loki shook his head and said: "At least, he can't compare with the Asgardian gods. But his only advantage is that he controls time."
"Let's put it this way... You punch him, he can't dodge it, but he can pause time to dodge, or deduce the action of you punching him countless times to find a way he can dodge."
"The time you punch him can only be experienced once, but he can experience it countless times. You tell me, how are you supposed to fight this?"
"It sounds like you have fought him before." Loki sat opposite Old Loki, leaning forward to look at him, and said: "But you were not defeated by him..."
"But I didn't defeat him either." Old Loki shook his head and said: "And the reason he let me go is because killing me has no value. As you said, I am just a deserter."
After speaking, his gaze fell on Sylvie, and then he smacked his lips and said: "But you are different, little girl. Kang the Conqueror has taken a fancy to the secret on you. Between you and him, there is only a life-or-death path."
"Then do you know his weakness?" Sylvie asked.
"If I knew his weakness, would I still be staying here?" Old Loki shook his head and said: "Even if he has a weakness, as long as he can use the ability to control time and repeat it countless times, the weakness will be worn away by him, and the loopholes will be filled by him. What is the use of finding a weakness?"
Old Loki's words made Sylvie feel nervous, and upon closer thought, it was even deeper despair. For someone who possesses infinite time, no weakness is a weakness anymore.
For example, if Kang the Conqueror is afraid of fire, and Sylvie happens to be able to use fire magic, then, the moment the fire touches Kang the Conqueror, he can completely perform time regression, predict in advance that Sylvie will use fire, and through continuous regression, find a way to make the fire not touch him.
Or, he can directly perform time travel on the spot, find something fireproof, and then travel back to the time point when the magic was released, using the fireproof equipment to resist the magic.
Moreover, Kang the Conqueror is also a future person, possessing a series of future black technologies. Even if he couldn't find suitable equipment at the time, he could spend a few hundred years developing one, and then travel back to use the newly invented thing to solve his weakness.
"I think we should just disperse." Black Loki shook his head and said: "It's really not that we don't want to help you, but even if we stick together, how are we supposed to deal with an opponent who can travel through time anytime, anywhere?"
Loki thought for a moment, his face also sank, but he still encouraged Sylvie: "Kang the Conqueror won't be back that fast. The multiverse we are in has encountered some problems. He should be blocked outside the door. As long as he can't find the door to enter, there is no way..."
He had just said this when the communicator in his hand rang. He answered the communicator, and Mobius's anxious voice came from the other side!
"It's bad! Loki! The director is back!!!"
Loki stood up with a "swoosh," his face serious as he asked: "What's going on? How did he come back?!!"
"I don't know, but our machine that checks the timeline reported his location. He is flying toward the Time Variance Authority at high speed. It is expected to be at most half an hour, no... he might be back in the next second!"
Sylvie immediately wanted to leave, but Loki stopped her first and said to her: "Don't panic yet. He didn't appear directly in the Time Variance Authority, which means he must have been held back by something. We still have a little time..."
Suddenly, Loki tilted his body and pointed behind Sylvie, saying: "Kang the Conqueror, why are you here?"
Sylvie was shocked and turned around with a "swoosh," but the next second, with a "bang," Mjolnir hit her on the head, causing her to slowly fall to the ground and faint.
Loki also held the hammer and looked at Old Loki, saying: "Take her and hide. I know you have a way."
Old Loki just wanted to say something, but Loki pointed the hammer at his brow and said: "Don't force me to hammer you."
Old Loki took two steps back and stretched out his hands, nodding. And after Loki's figure disappeared, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Is this Loki? This is Lei Shen!"
Soon, Loki, holding the hammer, appeared inside the Time Variance Authority. He shoved Helen, whom he was holding in his arms, to Mobius and whispered a few words to Helen in a low voice.
Then, Loki transformed into the image of the Goddess of Radiance and said to Mobius.
"I thought of a way to temporarily drag him down."
Mobius looked behind her and said: "Where are the reinforcements? Where is Sylvie?"
"There are no reinforcements, and even if there were, it would be impossible to beat him. Listen, Mobius, the director caught the female Loki and brought her into the Time Variance Authority without killing her directly, which means the female Loki has value to him."
"Since she has value, we can negotiate..." The light in Loki's eyes was filled with burning brilliance. She looked at Mobius and said at a rapid pace.
"The director knows that the female Loki has a secret, but he doesn't know what the secret is. Sylvie is a female Loki, and so am I. I am confident that he can't tell us two apart."
"But, he doesn't interrogate Sylvie, but he does to you, that won't work either..." Mobius followed her anxiously and said: "Even if you aren't a child, you don't have to..."
"Rest assured, I am confident that he won't use force on me at first. Sylvie might not be good at negotiating with him, but I can." Loki's footsteps toward the end of the corridor were fast. She said: "I have a friend who is very good at this. I learned a trick from him a long time ago..."
"Where is the cell?" Loki suddenly stopped and looked at Mobius. Mobius instinctively pointed to the road next to him, and Loki walked over quickly.
"During the time I drag him down, you guys aren't without anything to do. You should be able to get a few small time-travel devices, right?"
"That's right, but as soon as the device is activated, the director will definitely find out, and you will be in danger." Mobius emphasized: "No time anomaly can escape his eyes."
"That's not important." Loki walked to the cell door, pulled it open, and walked in, grabbing the bars of the cell. Mobius looked at her while locking the door and said: "Ravonna should have a few unmonitored devices. Who do you want us to find? We can try our best not to make a scene."
"On the contrary, I don't want you to find anyone, but instead need you to make as big a scene as possible." Loki's tone was firm.
Mobius stared wide-eyed at him, shocked, and said: "You're crazy! Inside the Time Variance Authority, you can't be the director's opponent; you can only be at his mercy. Don't think you can counter him with chaos!"
"I didn't think so, nor did I intend to counter him." Loki took a deep breath, suddenly took a few steps back, and raised his hands, saying: "As you can see, I don't intend to resist."
The movement of Mobius's hands stopped. He hammered his arm and looked at Loki, saying: "If you think your sacrifice can save us, then you are really stupid to the extreme. Give up, Loki. He won't let any of us go. Your sacrifice is meaningless."
"To you and to him, perhaps so." Loki shook her head and said: "But to some people, it's not like that."
She moved back a few steps, her eyes shining in the dark cell. She revealed an inexplicable smile and said.
"You guys caught up with a good time. If it were before, I would never dare to do this, but now, I believe he can never defeat me."
Mobius looked at the girl in the cage with a sad gaze and then said: "From the time I have memory, I have been working for the Time Variance Authority, never knowing what it means to be myself. This is my destiny."
"Since there is no self, there is no fear of death." Mobius grabbed the bars of the cage tightly and said: "Everyone in the Time Variance Authority is the same. We are no different from those machines..."
"All the pain you suffer to save us is unnecessary. We are just a group of tools."
The expression on Mobius's face was very painful. Obviously, he had never said this sentence directly, or rather, everyone in the Time Variance Authority had been avoiding this point.
"A person who has no past and whose future is just repeating is really just a tool. We are not worth saving by any emotional, real person."
Ravonna's figure appeared at the end of the corridor. Her tone was still very serious. B15 followed behind her and opened her mouth to say: "No one in this world is not afraid of death. If the fear we showed before makes you want to sacrifice yourself, then think about the horror of death."
Mobius closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then lowered his head, saying: "At this moment, I actually hope you are that group of lying Lokis, or that what is left here is an illusion..."
Loki stood under the only small window in the center of the cell, looking at the three people outside the cell, and said:
"I once swore by the glory of Asgard that I would fight side-by-side with you to the death. Do you think this is a joke?"
"No, although I am known as the God of Mischief, I will not joke about my country. In this world, everyone has something they want to insist on. Perhaps you don't need to be saved, but the glory of Asgard cannot be tarnished."
"Hurry up and go, I can feel... he is coming." ===== CHAPTER 1117 =====
