Chapter 177

Should I go find Senior Sister Nono to play today?

Toaru World

"Is everything merely an arrangement of fate?", several Magic Gods vaguely guessed something.

Now it all depends on how far Loki can go.

【

"Who exactly are you?", a tremendous sense of powerlessness rose in the hearts of Loki and the other.

They were being toyed with in the palm of this so-called Time Variance Authority, and the manipulation of fate made them want to kill each other every single moment, yet now they could only listen quietly to the other tell a story.

"Me? They have given me many titles: Ruler, Conqueror, He Who Remains... However, there is more to this name than meets the eye."

As he spoke, Kang told the two the origin of everything.

A long time ago, before the Time Variance Authority existed, there was only a variant of himself living on Earth in the 31st century.

He was called Kang, but one day, he discovered that above his world, there was a multiverse.

"At the same moment, other versions, countless Kangs from parallel worlds, also realized this."

The expressions of Loki and Sylvie gradually became serious; the two seemed to have realized something.

"Naturally, they began to communicate. For a period after that, the various parties coexisted peacefully, sharing technology and knowledge with one another."

"We from these universes learned from each other's strengths to offset our weaknesses."

】

【Nobi Nobita: "Eh? Could it be that this is how Kang became the ultimate Time Keeper? That's so cool! Doraemon, can we also contact our selves from various time and space?!!"】

【OAA: "If you are the answer to the world, then you can absolutely do that."】

【Rick: "Kid, haven't you heard a saying? The world is plural, but the truth is singular. Everyone wants to be that one and only, understand?"】

【Misaka Mikoto: "In other words, there won't be a good outcome between them?"】

【Archer: "Exactly so. The reason they are not in the same world is precisely because there are differences between every world. This difference could be as small as not eating breakfast, or as large as the world being on the verge of destruction. Once such things happen, they will fight for their own sake."】

【Keisha: "The same self, different time and space—what they possess that you lack will drive you mad. Besides, how do you know if that version of you in that world is good or evil?"】

【Zero: "The instinct of life is survival and expansion; even with the same prime element, this cannot be avoided."】

【Accelerator: "Ordinary people are like this, let alone those mad scientists?"】

Doraemon World

"That's impossible, Doraemon," Nobita said, his face full of disbelief.

"Such things are certainly true, Nobita, you must never do this," Doraemon said hurriedly.

"It's like how you don't want to do chores, so you find several other versions of yourself to make them do it. But since they are also Nobita, how could they possibly do such things obediently?"

"The only final result is that it evolves into war."

"I don't believe it. How could I possibly do such a thing? Doraemon, take out the Telephone Booth, just let me try!" Nobita said, unconvinced.

"Fine," Doraemon said helplessly, taking a huge Telephone Booth out of his pocket.

A conceptual causality-level item was being played with casually in the palm of a young boy.

Across the Myriad Worlds

Everyone had already realized that when Miss Minutes introduced the so-called Multiversal War to Loki at the very beginning—

It was actually a war started by the Kangs of countless parallel worlds.

They discovered themselves, and this meant war.

It was just like the contact between civilizations: from the friendly probing at the beginning to the baring of savage fangs later on!

【

"Not every version of me has such simple thoughts. For some versions of me, the only meaning of a new world is a new target for conquest," Kang said, a hint of deep meaning on his face.

"The peaceful coexistence between realities eventually evolved into an all-out war."

"Every variant fought for the survival of their own universe while destroying others. The universe was nearing its end."

Kang's smile grew wider. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of everything."

Sylvie's gaze was gloomy as she took up the conversation: "And then the Time Keeper appeared, and he saved everyone."

"Amen—," Kang clasped his hands in prayer, then ruthlessly denied Sylvie.

"NO. From this point on, it is different from the doctrine. The original variant encountered a creature."

It could devour time and space, devour everything. This creature was none other than Alioth—

"I harnessed the power of this beast and began experimenting on it. I turned it into a weapon, and then I ended... this Multiversal War!"

】

Toaru World

"So that's it," Laura nodded, understanding.

The Kangs of the multiverse launched an endless war; every Kang had the same elements. Only by the appearance of a variable could all of this be ended.

And Alioth was that one and only variable.

"It seems Alioth possesses uniqueness across the multiverse?", Laura was somewhat curious.

Pokemon World

"Alioth, this should be of the Dark type, right? But I really want to capture it," Ash said, full of excitement.

If he hadn't thought of it when he first saw Alioth, now that he heard Kang say he had tamed Alioth, Ash's soul of a collector was gradually awakening!

Alioth, which could end a Multiversal War, must be absolutely strong.

"I just don't know if it's stronger than the legendary Pokemon Arceus, who gave birth to everything."

In Ash's heart, Arceus might still be stronger; after all, in the legends, Arceus is the God of Creation...

【

To prevent other timelines from splitting into a multiverse again—

Thus, the Time Keeper and the entire efficient bureaucratic system were created, and thus, there were several eras of universal peace!

Kang introduced it as comically as a clown.

"Are you heroes here to slay the evil dragon? You think I am evil, but you will understand once you meet the other Kangs."

"This is a gamble~! Do you want the suffocating order, or the chaos that destroys the heavens and the earth!"

But Kang the Conqueror was wise and understood the big picture. In the branched timelines, he saw that these two Lokis were formidable successors.

Now there were two choices—

"You kill me, and the result is a Multiversal War, or you take over, return to the Time Variance Authority, and become benevolent rulers."

Sylvie was dissatisfied because Kang had taken everything from her, but she was met with Kang's angry rebuke.

"Murderer! Hypocrite! Haven't you also taken everything from others!"

Who can achieve ultimate goodness? Since no one can remain untainted, why not be mature and accept all of this?!

】

【Ye Lingyun: "There is nothing wrong with ruling. If there were no rule by the strong, this world would have long since fallen into chaos and become a mess."】

【Gabriel: "Could it be the plot of the dragon slayer eventually becoming the evil dragon? Oh, God, let it be destroyed."】

【Thor: "What's wrong with the evil dragon! Kanna, bite this fallen angel!"】

【Kanna: "Awoo~!"】

【The Doctor: "This is truly a difficult choice. Either endure the despair of suppression and accept your destiny, or choose to let everything come to an end."】

【Thor: "Hmph, let me look at that Loki guy; he would definitely choose to take over the Time Variance Authority without hesitation to fulfill his dream of being a God King."】

Marvel World

"What free will? I think he just wants to open the gates of the multiverse for Marvel's Phase Four and film a few more movies, right... Eh?"

After Deadpool finished speaking, he realized belatedly what crazy nonsense he had just said.

"Damn! This cursed headache! Is my pig brain malfunctioning?" Deadpool rubbed his head hard, feeling it wasn't enough, and put a grenade in his mouth again.

"Shit! The best way would be to stuff my head into that purple-skinned dermatitis's hands and let him crush it for me!"

Boom—!

At the same time, far away in the sea of stars, Thanos, who was watching the screen intently, felt a chill in his rear for no reason.

It was as if... someone was thinking of him.

【

Kang wanted to say something more, but at this very moment, his expression suddenly froze.

The comical look on his face vanished completely. His perception spread across countless multiversal worlds, and he murmured in shock, "We have just crossed... that threshold."

Kang's expression became increasingly eerie. After confirming that the Sacred Timeline had begun to branch, a joy and shock never seen before appeared in his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
