"What are you talking about? There are only three of us here." Seeing Kang's abnormal appearance, Loki frowned.
"No, someone has blocked this place. I am separated from the time outside." Kang also looked confused, as if this was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his life of more than a thousand years.
"Blocked, what does that mean?" Loki was sensitive to Kang's tone and expression and sensed something wrong. He analyzed that Kang did not deceive them, or rather, the other party who had the advantage had no need to deceive them in such a matter.
"What I mean is that I have lost my perception of external time. I can no longer observe and grasp the timelines of other universes. Everything is gradually getting out of control. If the blockade is forever, even if you don't kill me, the multiverse war will come sooner or later." Kang's emotions fluctuated for a moment before he returned to normal.
This was beyond his observation and expectations, leaving him feeling a bit surprised and curious. As for panic? He was already looking for a successor and preparing for his own death. What else was there to panic about?
"That's perfect." Sylvie swung the blade in her hand into a knife flower and held it tightly in her hand as if ready to attack.
"Wait, wait!" Loki quickly turned around and blocked Sylvie, separating her from Kang.
"Get out of the way!" Sylvie shouted at Loki who was blocking the way.
"Everything is still unclear now. There may really be unknown people and dangers. I think he can still be useful." Loki racked his brains to persuade Loki.
"Kill him and everything will be over." Loki put the blade against Loki's jaw and signaled him to move aside again.
"That may not be the case." Loki had vaguely guessed who the visitor might be. He felt a little complicated and didn't know what decision to make.
Is it to watch Kang die?
Or save him?
"I understand. You want to inherit the Time Administration and become his successor! You want to hold the greatest power in the universe!" Loki seemed to understand something. He looked at Loki with disappointment in his eyes and questioned him word by word.
"I didn't!" Loki felt wronged. Besides, how could the Time Administration be the greatest power? Organizations like the Energy Bank, filled with monsters, were far more powerful than him.
"Then get out of the way!" Loki flicked the blade and signaled Loki to get out of the way again.
"Are you really going to kill him?" Loki looked at the determined Loki and felt a hard object in his palm. His restored memory allowed him to immediately know what the object was from the touch. Thinking of Luke's words and looking at Sylvie whose face was becoming more and more disappointed, Loki gritted his teeth and made a choice in his heart.
Loki expressed her determination through silence.
"Okay, okay, but don't use this, use this to deal with him." Loki took two steps back and spread out the palm of his right hand, revealing the bullet in his palm.
Looking at the bullet, Sylvie looked at Loki with an expression that was like, "Are you kidding me?"
"Try it." Loki was also a little embarrassed, but he still held the bullet in his palm and handed it to Sylvie.
Looking at Loki's determined face, Sylvie was silent for a moment, then freed a hand and took the bullet from Loki's palm. Then, under the astonished gazes of the two men, the bullet unfolded like a watermark, stretching and reshaping itself, transforming into a dagger-like blade in Sylvie's hand.
Sylvie looked at Loki, and Loki, having made a choice in his heart, immediately moved his feet to get out of the way.
"Very good, it seems you have made your choice. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed." Kang also saw the choice made by Loki. He sat in his seat, watching the scene unfold motionlessly, watching the two Lokis confront each other, quarrel, compromise, avoid, and the execution of killing.
Sylvie took a step forward with her muscular thighs, supported herself on the table and jumped nimbly. As her body landed on the table, she stabbed the dagger in her hand into Kang's chest.
Well...
His chest was pierced by a dagger-like blade, and the blade pierced him and the back of the chair behind him. When Kang looked at Sylvie, there was no fear of death in his eyes, but a slightly relaxed and weird smile.
"See you later." Kang said softly, trying his best.
"There's no turning back, sir."
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from the direction of the office door. The tightly closed door was pushed open from the outside, and a man walked in slowly, accompanied by the lingering sound.
"Luke? I knew it!" Seeing the newcomer, Loki breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt the urge to punch him in the face. It was because of him that he was thrown into this hellish place! Although he had gained a lot here, it didn't affect his strong resentment towards Luke.
After all, Luke's style is to make you complain about him but also be grateful to him.
"Who is he?" Having just killed the man behind the scenes whom she wanted to kill the most, Sylvie felt a little empty inside. When she saw Luke, she subconsciously looked at Loki.
"He is Luke, a technology businessman. I suggest you not to get involved with him in any meaningful way." Loki reminded with full of resentment.
"That's really sad to hear. You've experienced a truly moving relationship, haven't you? I wonder how Odin would feel if he knew his son had fallen in love with a female version of himself from another universe.
"Perhaps they'll unleash Gungnir across the universe?" Luke said, ignoring Loki's darkening face. He walked around the large desk and came to the dead Kang. A layer of nano-gloves emerged from his hands. He pinched Kang's face and looked around, as if to confirm whether he was dead or not.
The thin blade of the dagger that pierced Kang's chest gradually turned into a point of light and merged into Kang's body in the surprised eyes of Loki and Sylvie.
"What are you doing? Checking to see if he's dead?" Loki walked over to Luke's side, observing his movements and asking. He knew that if Luke had left the lab and come here, there must be something here that Luke wanted. Luke was a man with a very purposeful approach and would not do anything unnecessary.
"He's dead, there's no doubt about it." Luke took a step back, and part of the glove on his hand separated and fell to the ground.
"Then are you ready for a multiverse war?" Loki paused for a moment, then asked tentatively, "According to what he said, once he dies, the timelines he forcibly brought together will completely split apart, extending into various time branches. Ultimately, the Kangs of various universes will launch a multiverse war and conquer all the multiverses they know of."
"Don't worry about that. The multiverse is a very complex concept. It's not static, and not every part of it is worth conquering." Luke patted Loki's shoulder. "What do you think I gave you that bullet for?"
"Did you do anything?" Loki subconsciously looked at Kang's body.
"Did you know that similar multiverses and identical souls have compatible frequencies? If you can find this frequency, you can build a soul network that spans all the multiverses in which you exist. It can bring you absolute convenience, but it can also bring you huge risks.
Everyone knew that servers physically disconnected from the internet were secure, but those connected to the internet weren't. Wasn't he worried that he'd start a multiverse war? Now he didn't need to worry.
The soul network covers all connected individuals. The poison attached to the dagger will upload and synchronize everything about the deceased Kang. Luke said softly.
"What do you mean?" Sylvie jumped down from the table, walked to Loki's side, stood still, and asked while looking at Luke.
"What it means is that Kang's death will cover all the Kangs he knows and doesn't know in his consciousness. If you still don't understand, then you just need to know that the death of one Kang is equal to the death of a group of Kangs." Luke finally gave the answer in the most straightforward words.
"That is to say, there will be no Kang in the future multiverse?" Loki widened his eyes. He knew that what you gave me was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so vicious?
Whether it's good or bad, they're all included, right?
"That's not necessarily true," Luke offered an answer that gave Loki a headache. Without Loki needing to press his questions, Luke proactively stated, "You can't guarantee that some individuals will mutate, possessing powers and traits that differ significantly from other Kangs. If this were to happen, then the mutated Kang wouldn't be 100% certain of his death."
But it doesn't matter, right? This soul poison will cling to them like a cancer, bringing them layer upon layer of death and misfortune. The infected will also be like a light bulb, and our soul coordinates will gradually be locked.
As long as we deal with the majority of them and then eliminate those mutants who dare to resist, the trouble will not be difficult to solve, right? "
Loki and Sylvie were completely silent. They could already imagine the horror of this technique.
This weapon technology is used to eliminate a specific life form at a specific point in the entire multiverse. If you die in one universe, it doesn't matter; there are still thousands and thousands of you in the multiverse alive. However, this technology eliminates you from a multi-dimensional level.
Once and for all.
One kill, X kills.
"Your mission has been completed. Do you need me to take you home?" Luke looked at Loki and the other man.
"We can go." Sylvie instinctively wanted to stay away from Luke. She took out the teleporter and wanted to open a portal, but the teleporter seemed to be malfunctioning. No matter how she pressed it, the golden portal never appeared.
"Don't waste your energy. This is a blocked and isolated space. That thing won't work at all." Luke looked at Sylvie's confused expression and kindly reminded her.
"Let's go out. It's not good to stay in a cat's belly for too long." Without waiting for the two to ask again, Luke looked up and called out.
Nothing has changed.
They were still inside the castle.
"It seems like nothing has changed." Loki looked around carefully and looked at Luke awkwardly.
"That means your perception needs improvement." Luke pointed at the transmitter in Sylvie's hand and continued, "You can try that device again now."
Sylvie pressed the transmitter again, and a familiar golden door suddenly appeared in front of them.
"What are you going to do with the Time Administration? Disband it? It seems it's no longer necessary to maintain that sacred timeline." Loki asked Luke, glancing sideways before following Sylvie through the portal. Although his time there was brief, he still quite liked some of the people there. For their sake, he was willing to ask a few more questions.
"I've got what I wanted, and now it's your turn. I hope you like my gift." Luke smiled at him, took a step back, and disappeared in a hazy glow. With him was an orange cat and a mysterious dog-like creature that had shrunk countless times in size but still looked familiar to Loki.
Seeing Elios who looked like a dog, Loki's eyes twitched involuntarily, and then he stepped into the golden portal without looking back, and disappeared into the ruins of time along with the portal.
Perhaps in the future, due to the special nature of this ruined land, another Elrios will be born, but this has nothing to do with Loki, right?
Time Management Bureau.
As soon as Loki appeared here, he saw a huge stone statue that made his blood boil instantly! It was his statue! Every detail was clear and lifelike!
"Chief, I'm looking for you. Where have you been?" A familiar voice sounded behind Loki. Loki turned around and saw Mobius hurriedly walking towards him.
"Mobius?" Loki shouted in surprise.
"Don't be so enthusiastic, it's like we haven't seen each other for a long time." Mobius looked disgusted. "As the director, you shouldn't leave all the work to us subordinates. You should at least help out a little."
"Director? When did I become the Director of the Time Management Bureau?" Loki was a little confused, but he turned around and looked at the huge stone statue behind him. He already understood what the gift Luke was talking about was.
"Time Management Bureau? What kind of organization is that?" Mobius frowned.
"Isn't this the Time Management Bureau?" Loki turned around in surprise and looked at Mobius.
"Perhaps you need to prove yourself, Director Loki." Mobius gave him a strange look. "This is the place where time loops, the multiverse of reincarnation. It's a subsidiary of the Energy Bank responsible for handling multiverse affairs. We regularly train and select the most elite and fiercest warriors from various worlds and dimensions to help us solve problems in the various multiverses."
"For example?" Loki asked. "I mean our enemies."
"That's too many. I have a problem that needs to be solved immediately. Do you remember the Council of Kang? The Kangs from all over the multiverse gathered together to fight against us. We dealt with most of them, but there are still some who slipped through the net and avoided our attacks in various ways. We have now found the whereabouts of a variant Kang, and we need to arrange a strong task force to deal with him." Mobius waved the file bag in his hand.
