Chapter 86 Ragnarok is coming
He immediately understood that he had just learned this magic and had not yet mastered it skillfully enough, which was why it was so unstable.
If the runes on the ground were not fully set up, he would be sent back directly the moment there was a fluctuation!
"It still seems unstable."
Arthur hadn't encountered such a failure in a long time; the two previous teleports were a waste.
Even with top-tier talent, if one didn't have that talent, who knew how long it would take to master?
However, compared to other mages, his progress was already ridiculously fast.
"Arthur, are you there?"
Wanda's voice came from outside the study.
"Coming!"
Arthur opened the door and saw Wanda standing outside, a hint of urgency on her face.
"Come out with me for a bit. Yin Meida outside said Hela is looking for us."
Wanda grabbed Arthur's hand and started walking out.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Hela, Thor, and Loki already waiting outside.
"Loki, aren't you dead?"
Wanda froze the moment she saw Loki.
She remembered very clearly that this Loki should have died long ago.
"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense in the future!"
Thor frowned and glared at Loki; this guy always loved pranks.
"This is the strong one you spoke of?"
Loki looked at Arthur, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Mm, but I advise you to behave yourself."
Thor spread his hands helplessly; Loki would never be well-behaved until he was taught a lesson.
"Oh."
Loki casually put his hand down, pretending not to notice.
The next second, his body vanished, appearing directly behind Arthur.
But before he could act, his body was suddenly pulled up and thrown directly into the mud, with only his head exposed.
All of this happened very quickly.
"I told you, don't challenge the strong."
Thor's tone was mocking.
"Hela, why are you here?"
Arthur turned his gaze to Hela.
Logically, she should be very busy right now, so why would she have time to look for him? It surprised him a little.
"Odin is dead. I would like to invite you to his funeral."
As Hela spoke, a hint of complex emotion appeared in her eyes.
Although she didn't like Odin, she didn't expect the old man to truly pass away like this.
"Odin is dead?"
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
This was reasonable, after all, Odin was old.
What he didn't expect was that Hela would actually hold a funeral for Odin.
"Mm, although I don't like this old man, he is, after all, the faith of the Gods of Asgard."
Hela seemed to be explaining, and also comforting herself: "So, if you have time, would you like to attend?"
Chapter 79
Arthur hesitated for a moment before looking at Wanda: "Let's go together!"
Asgard, the Heavenly Palace.
He was quite curious to see what the Heavenly Palacelooked like.
...
In the vast Universe.
A huge mothership was rapidly traversing between the star seas.
On the throne.
A terrifying figure sat steadily, his eyes calmly scanning his surroundings.
"My great Father of the Gods, now is the best time for you to execute your great plan."
Ebony Maw knelt on one knee, respectfully raising the Infinity Gauntlet.
"Odin and the Ancient One are both dead; they have reached their end."
Corvus Glaive bowed slightly to the side, saying with a smile.
Proxima Midnight next to him couldn't help but echo: "Now is a good opportunity for us to act."
Thanos said nothing, slowly putting on the Infinity Gauntlet, the gems emitting dazzling light.
A terrifying aura instantly spread out!
As if the entire Universe was enveloped by it!
...
Asgard, the Heavenly Palace.
On a protruding balcony at the top of the Heavenly Palace.
Hela, with Arthur and Wanda, overlooked the scenery of the divine realm below.
Although the divine realm was still as beautiful as a fairyland, as usual.
However, at this moment, everyone in the divine realm had sorrow and grief written all over their faces.
Their eyes held only dimness and silence.
Looking out, all one could see was despair in everyone's eyes; the passing of God-King Odin left all people of the divine realm heartbroken.
To them, Odin was the supreme deity, the Father of the Gods.
But this Father of the Gods had left them just like that; they had never even imagined this day would come.
It could be said that everyone thought Odin was an existence that would never die.
However, not long after, Odin passed the throne to Helaand then left them forever.
The sorrow of the gods intertwined, even spreading a faint black mist in the sky.
At this moment, the divine realm had lost its usual laughter and became exceptionally quiet.
The only sound that could be heard was the occasional sob.
"Odin's death indeed saddened the people of Asgard."
Hela's expression was somewhat complex.
She hadn't expected Odin to truly make himself a wise ruler.
These people believed in Odin without reservation.
And her heart couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, because she herself hadn't expected Odin to be able to make everyone trust him so much.
Even when he returned to Asgard and passed the throne to her, quite a few people stood up in opposition.
But Odin stopped them, only telling her one sentence: You must manage Asgard well.
"Odin indeed had an awakening in his later years."
Arthur said calmly while admiring the beautiful scenery before him.
It had to be said, Odin used to be very irritable, fierce, and prone to anger.
Perhaps with age, people's thoughts also change.
At the very least, one had to admit that the Nine Realmshad always been under his protection.
Moreover, now that the person was gone, there was no need to keep dwelling on these wrongdoings.
And now Hela had taken control of Asgard.
"A sudden awakening? That's truly a joke."
Hela's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
Her life should not have come to this point; even now, she was still full of resentment towards Odin.
Logically, she should have lived a stable life, like that foolish younger brother, instead of reaching this point step by step.
"It has to be said, he was not a competent father at all!"
Arthur couldn't help but nod.
Although Odin later managed Asgard well, he overlooked too many things. More accurately, he only saw his own power and authority.
While these were qualities a king should possess, they were certainly not everything.
If it weren't for Frigga, Thor would probably not have grown up so carefree.
It could even be said that the reason Thor and the others didn't become so extreme was because of Frigga's presence.
"Father? I never considered him my father."
Hela withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Arthurbeside her.
Although she had now obtained everything from Odin, she was surprised to find that she wasn't as excited as she had imagined.
Instead, she felt very calm, like the emptiness and confusion after achieving all goals.
"However, it no longer matters."
Arthur gently shook his head; he knew very well what Hela had been through.
Her current state was an unavoidable reality.
Moreover, one had no right to casually comment without truly experiencing what others had experienced.
Rumble...
At this moment, large black clouds gathered in the sky.
The dark clouds churned continuously, and lightning flashed within them.
As the black clouds spread, they quickly enveloped the entire divine realm.
Whoosh—
Some damp black spots first appeared on the ground.
Dust was also stirred up by these raindrops.
The next second, countless lines of rain poured down from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the entire divine realm was covered by Water.
Looking out, one could only see the sky full of dark clouds.
The strong wind, mixed with the downpour, fiercely battered the buildings of the divine realm.
This sudden wind and rain made everyone present frown.
"The divine realm... it's actually raining this heavily?"
Hela frowned, watching the scene, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Although it rained in the divine realm, it had never rained this heavily.
And she knew that, due to the very existence of the divine realm, rain could be controlled.
Even if not controlled, the special nature of the divine realm could keep the weather clear.
This scene was too abnormal, causing her heart to involuntarily quicken, as if she had a premonition of something bad about to happen.
"I... have never seen it rain this heavily in the divine realm."
Thor stretched out his hands from the balcony, feeling the cold raindrops, his expression becoming exceptionally solemn.
Since he could remember, he had never seen such heavy rain.
Now, this storm had already formed shallow puddles on the streets, flowing down stairs and slopes.
"This..."
Arthur looked at the scene before him, suddenly widening his eyes.
A scene suddenly flashed in his mind, from before in the divine realm, or rather, Ragnarok in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ragnarok!
He suddenly remembered something—after Odin's death, the divine realm faced a huge disaster, which was Ragnarok! This was the first time the divine realm had suffered such a major blow in so long.
But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, completely beyond his expectation.
Because in the original World, after Ragnarok occurred, the entire Asgard would be destroyed. One must know that Asgard was the source of Hela's power.
Without Asgard, Hela would no longer be the Goddess of Death.
And her power would disappear with it, followed by terrible consequences.
Thinking of this, Arthur's expression also became increasingly serious.
Because he remembered that their only option was to escape by spaceship.
Thor also truly grew up after experiencing Ragnarok.
"Arthur, food is ready, let's go back and eat something first!"
Hela withdrew her gaze, suppressed the questions in her heart, and turned to Arthur.
After all, the most important thing now was to treat Arthur well. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been able to become the Queen of Asgard.
"Okay, let's go."
Arthur took a deep look at the pouring rain.
It was as if this was a rain that would drown Asgard.
In the banquet hall, various delicacies were already laid out.
The scent of wine wafted from the divine realm's oak barrels not far away.
To properly entertain Arthur, the best food of Asgard was prepared here.
After the few of them sat down, Arthur took a deep breath and slowly began: "Hela, have you heard of Ragnarok?"
This matter was very important; he had to tell Helaimmediately.
"Ragnarok?"
Hela was stunned for a moment, a memory flashing in her mind: "Are you talking about that legend?"
She vaguely remembered this legend.
It was said that when Ragnarok arrived, the entire divine realm would disappear.
And Asgard would fall into a miserable state, with only death awaiting them in the end.
Thor picked up his cup, drank the wine inside in one gulp, and looked at Arthur with a puzzled expression: "I've heard of this legend too, but isn't that just a story?"
He had seen legends about Ragnarok in ancient texts before.
But that was ultimately just a circulating story.
Although the arrival of Ragnarok would be considered the end of the divine realm,
Thor simply wouldn't believe these rumors because they were too mystical.
Although their strength was not comparable to Hela's, they were not to be trifled with. He couldn't even fathom what could destroy Asgard.
Asgard had existed for so long and had gone through quite a few hardships.
At this point, there was no power that could threaten Asgard!
"Ragnarok is coming!"
Arthur spoke slowly, his eyes serious.
He knew very well that in the original timeline, Ragnarokwas already approaching.
Although the exact time was still unknown, this day would not be far off.
And after Odin's death, there was no stronger existence in Asgard than him.
This meant they had lost their most powerful trump card.
At this time, once the enemy knew this news, they would certainly not miss this opportunity.
Chapter 87 This is too unreasonable!
After all, what they had always feared was not Asgard, but the Allfather Odin.
So when this news came out, the doomsday of the God Realm began to count down.
"This…"
Hela looked at Arthur, her eyes full of hesitation.
She didn't believe these mysterious claims, but she had to believe Arthur's words. If Ragnarok really happened, she wouldn't know what to do.
After all, although her current strength was good, it was still far from Odin's.
"Then what should we do?"
Thor, who was beside them, also became serious.
Ever since he had witnessed Arthur's strength, he knew that Arthur was not talking nonsense.
This matter was very likely true, and even he felt that something was wrong with the God Realm recently.
It was as if the entire World was about to be destroyed.
"The mastermind behind Ragnarok is Surtur!"
Arthur didn't hide anything and directly revealed what he knew.
"Surtur?!"
Thor's eyes widened. He never expected that the culprit would be the Torch Man!
"Yes, so we must start with him!"
Arthur tapped his index finger lightly on the table, his tone heavy.
If Surtur was not dealt with, the God Realm would still be destroyed in the end.
"I'll go seal him!"
...
Thor finished speaking and stood up, saying loudly.
Although Surtur was a formidable enemy, he could still handle him.
He could just seal him up then!
"No, we have to kill him!"
Arthur shook his head, rejecting Thor's proposal without hesitation.
Surtur had not fully recovered yet, and he was ultimately a hidden danger.
And sometimes prophecies really do come true.
To completely change the timeline, the only way was to directly kill the Torch Man Surtur, which would ensure Asgard was not destroyed.
"Surtur is a Torch Man, and even Odin couldn't destroy his divinity!"
Hela frowned. She was well aware of the Torch Man's terrifying power.
If it could really be dealt with by force, Odin would never have kept this menace.
"My sister is right, we don't have that ability at all!"
Thor also nodded in agreement. All they could do was seal him.
Even at Odin's strongest, it took him immense effort to barely trap Surtur, let alone destroy him.
Although he knew Arthur had defeated his father, his father was already old at that time. The gap between them was too great. Although Odin had managed to temporarily return to his peak strength, it was for a very short time, and he was not as good as before in all aspects.
"I can do it."
Arthur said indifferently, without a trace of hesitation in his tone.
Although Surtur was indeed very strong, he was not without a solution.
...
After he said this, everyone present was stunned.
"Who's coming with me to see Surtur?"
Arthur stood up and stretched. Regardless of how beautiful the scenery of the God Realm was, just the fact that Hela was his person meant he couldn't just watch them go to their deaths. Besides, he was quite curious about this Torch Man, and perhaps he could gain something.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
Hela, Wanda, Thor, and Loki all expressed their desire to go together.
If Ragnarok was caused by Surtur, then it had to be stopped.
...
Volcanic lava zone.
Heat waves rolled, the air was scorching and distorted, the rocks underfoot were red-hot, and magma continuously erupted in the distance.
But the few people walking here felt as comfortable as if they were in spring.
Every step Arthur took, frost would form around him.
"This thing is quite useful!"
Arthur casually used ice elements.
Although he had ancient bloodline and this temperature was nothing to him, Wanda was also beside him this time.
"I heard that the Torch Man is down there."
Thor stood on a rock, looking down at a cave below.
"Then let's go down and deal with him properly!"
Hela waved her hands, and the Night Sky Swordimmediately appeared in her hand.
Since this guy wanted to destroy Asgard, they would deal with him first.
"Don't rush, he's coming for us!"
Arthur crossed his arms, looking down below with interest.
Boom!
As the lava churned, countless figures crawled out from various corners.
They were clearly a group of lava monsters!
They ran very fast, and at the same time, a giant dragon slowly walked out.
The Flame Dragon, wearing chains, walked out with heavy steps.
"So excited? Did he think it was a party?"
Hela casually threw out her twin swords, and the swords seemed to have a will of their own, constantly spinning in the air.
As green light surged, any lava monsters they touched were all sent flying.
Wanda was not to be outdone, releasing a wave of energy that directly shattered the lava monsters that had not yet crawled out of the cracks.
Loki, on the other hand, looked arrogant, surveying his surroundings.
"Their tempers are..."
Thor was a little embarrassed. He hadn't even made a move yet, and the women had stolen his thunder.
"Shh."
Arthur motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Roar!!!
A loud roar came from underground.
The ground suddenly vibrated violently, and a massive figure broke through the rocks, slowly appearing.
It was a figure wearing a horned helmet, dragging a Twilight Sword that glowed crimson.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding lava erupted continuously as if welcoming its Master.
The Torch Man stood majestically before everyone, engulfed in flames, and the terrifying heat wave and pressure distorted the air.
Every step it took left a burning trail.
The Torch Man Surtur raised his head and met the gaze of the people above.
Flames churned on his head, as if made of magma.
"So this is what the Torch Man looks like? He really exists!"
Wanda looked down at the tall figure below, her face full of surprise.
What surprised her even more was that this was only Surtur, who had not fully awakened.
She couldn't even imagine how terrifying Surtur would be when he truly unleashed his power.
She had heard of Surtur before, but always thought he only existed in myths.
Although she had heard Thor and the others talk about him, seeing him with her own eyes was still shocking.
It was said that he was one of the most powerful demons in the Nine Realms.
Now, this terrifying existence appeared before them.
"So Surtur looks like this."
Loki stroked his chin, staring at the Torch Man below with interest.
He had heard of Surtur before, but this was his first time seeing him.
He originally thought this guy had been killed by Odin, but later found out he hadn't died at all. But this was normal, this guy's divinity was too powerful, almost immortal.
"It would be great if he could be used as infinite energy."
Arthur looked at Surtur, who was constantly spewing Fire below, and this strange thought suddenly popped into his mind.
After all, this guy was too hot. If he could be locked up and put directly into a spaceship, that would be an inexhaustible source of energy.
"It seems you are much weaker than in your prime!"
Hela looked at Surtur below, speaking in a flat tone.
She certainly knew the Torch Man Surtur.
"Hela!"
Surtur's voice came from his mouth, and he seemed very surprised to see Hela: "Weren't you sealed?"
He never expected Hela to appear here.
"It seems you're quite famous! Even Surtur, who's trapped in this godforsaken place, has heard of '803'."
Arthur turned to Hela beside him, a hint of teasing in his tone.
After all, no one ever came to this place, so it was already rare to know any news.
Not to mention this guy was imprisoned even before Hela, so it was indeed quite surprising that he knew about this.
"Of course!"
Hela didn't feel embarrassed at all; instead, she puffed out her chest, looking proud.
She didn't think this was something shameful, it was just that life inside was indeed difficult.
Who didn't know her reputation back then?
"You came here to be my fuel?"
Surtur also saw that the other party was not benevolent, and his tone was filled with anger.
His current strength was far worse than before, so his temper also became irritable.
"Hey!"
Thor punched a nearby lava monster away: "Big guy, let me see what you can do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran a few steps and directly pounced on Surtur from the air.
He continuously gathered strength and threw a fierce punch in the air.
This punch directly made Surtur retreat repeatedly, and the flames on his face also flickered.
"Whew... You're really hot!"
Thor patted his scorched hand, complaining unhappily.
"Damn guy, you wait to taste the burning of hell!"
Surtur's Twilight Sword suddenly slashed down, and countless flames ignited on the blade.
Thor was stunned when he saw this scene, and quickly rolled to barely dodge.
The next second, a huge foot kicked him flying.
"Thor!"
Loki appeared from the void and quickly helped Thor up.
He didn't expect Thor to not even last the first round.
Originally, he had planned to secretly deliver a heavy blow to Surtur while Thor was distracting him.
It seemed that this was completely impossible!
"Damn it, this thing's feet are really big!"
Thor covered his stomach and cursed through gritted teeth.
Without Mjolnir, he was now helpless, and his divine power could not be unleashed.
"Asgardians, you will pay a heavy price for your recklessness!"
Surtur slowly raised the Twilight Sword, and flames continuously burned on the blade.
"So annoying, you talk like a loudspeaker!"
Arthur's face showed a hint of impatience.
He raised his right foot and stomped down fiercely, and ice instantly spread along the ground.
Even the scorching lava was frozen.
When the ice spread to the feet of the lava monsters, ice spikes pierced through them, shattering them.
The next second, Arthur's gaze turned to Surtur.
A golden light shot out fiercely, directly penetrating Surtur's body.
This terrifying strong light directly tore through the Shadow of the lava cave.
This cave had not felt true light for a long time.
Whoosh!
With a loud bang, the Torch Man crashed to the ground.
His entire body turned into Fire and was completely absorbed into the giant horn.
Only a horned skull mask was left on the ground.
"The Torch Man doesn't seem as powerful as the legends say..."
Wanda was stunned. She never expected the opponent to be gone in an instant.
She originally thought there would be at least three hundred rounds of battle.
Then, in a blaze of Fire, Surtur would slowly fall.
But just now, Surtur was resolved in an instant.
"Your strength is too exaggerated!"
Thor got up and walked forward, picking up the sealed Surtur.
He looked at the giant horn in his hand, a strange expression on his face.
Although Surtur's strength was greatly reduced now, just a glance from him had penetrated him.
This was too unreasonable!
Roar!
Before Thor could continue to complain, a roar suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around, a huge mouth suddenly bit at him.
The next second, the giant dragon was sent flying by Loki.
"My foolish brother, you are really too careless!"
Loki skillfully twirled the dagger in his hand, a slight smile on his lips.
"Arthur, have we completed our mission?"
Wanda asked with a questioning tone.
Solving Asgard's crisis was much simpler than she had imagined.
Chapter 88 Even the Smallest Details
"It seems Ragnarok won't happen after all."
Hela gracefully took the giant horn from Thor's hand.
Looking at the giant horn in her hand, there was still some apprehension in her eyes.
It had to be said, the Surtur just now was indeed not strong, but at his peak, that guy was absolutely terrifying.
One could even say that even Odin would have to go to great lengths to deal with him.
"No, as long as that guy isn't dead, Ragnarok cannot be stopped."
Arthur shook his head, his tone filled with helplessness.
As long as that guy wasn't dead, he would always escape again one day.
After all, there were too many possibilities for accidents in this World.
No one could be sure when Surtur would awaken again.
So, the only way to completely resolve Surtur was to utterly destroy him.
"Then what should we do next?"
Thor frowned, asking with a serious expression.
Surtur was truly too terrifying; he knew very well that this guy was difficult to eliminate.
One could even say that there were almost no methods to eliminate him.
And from the expression on Arthur's face, it was clear this was no joke.
Perhaps they really would see Surtur appear again.
"It's simple."
Arthur had Hela hand him the giant horn.
He held the giant horn in both hands, and a dark red energy emanated from his body.
This energy rapidly surged around Arthur.
An extremely terrifying aura erupted from him.
This aura, mixed with dark red light, slowly began to corrode the bull horn.
As this aura spread, the lava monsters continuously charging from afar seemed to see something extremely terrifying.
They only paused for a moment before frantically turning and fleeing.
"What is this power?"
Loki felt such terrifying power for the first time.
An indescribable fear seeped from his pores.
He even couldn't help but want to cast an invisibility spell and hide his body.
When the Phoenix Force completely enveloped the giant horn.
Crack!
Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the giant horn.
Like glass, it instantly shattered into countless powders, scattering in the cave with the wind.
"It's gone just like that?"
Thor swallowed, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Arthur.
Only a few seconds passed, and Surtur just disappeared like that?
One had to know, an opponent that even Father couldn't deal with, was now eliminated so easily?
"This power is too terrifying, how did you do it?!"
Loki suppressed his fear, asking with a trembling voice.
He had clearly felt two completely different powers just now.
One was extreme vitality, and the other was extreme destruction.
But these two opposing forces actually appeared at the same time.
"The power of the Phoenix Force is not something you can imagine."
Although Hela was a little surprised, she wasn't unexpected. The Phoenix Force could destroy everything.
However, the result was still much faster than she had anticipated.
Arthur clapped the remaining ashes from his hands, his expression calm.
With his current strength, destroying a giant horn with a divine essence was merely a flick of the wrist.
Fire Torch Man Surtur?
He could even fight Odin, let alone him.
When he dealt with Odin before, he had deliberately suppressed his own power.
Aside from anything else, he also had an almost one-time skill.
That was Serious Punch.
That punch could even make Odin understand what true power was.
"It seems we don't have to worry anymore…"
Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment...
After all, once Ragnarok truly arrived, they would lose their home.
And even lose their divine power, which was something he absolutely could not accept.
"We should tell this news to all of Asgard!"
Loki rolled his eyes and proposed his idea.
Currently, all of Asgard was grieving due to Odin's departure.
More than that, there was fear and unease.
All along, Odin had been the strongest person in Asgard.
After he left, without the protection of the All-Father, they didn't even know if they could maintain the current peace.
If this news were spread, many people would surely feel much more at ease.
No matter what, this was Surtur, whom even Odin couldn't deal with.
But now he had been completely eliminated, which meant they had resolved a major hidden danger.
At the same time, it could also restore confidence to the people of Asgard.
"You're genuinely smart for once."
Hela's lips curved upwards slightly as she looked at Lokibeside her: "It's time to go back now."
After all, Loki had always been playing small tricks; this time, he finally came up with a good idea.
She didn't want the people of Asgard to constantly think about that guy Odin.
Buzz...
Just then,
Boom!
On the empty space next to everyone,
A translucent frame appeared, and a group of black-clad individuals in black armor walked out, each with a yellow "TVA" symbol on their shoulders.
"Who?!"
Thor and Loki immediately became alert,
Unconsciously adopting defensive stances.
"This power…"
Hela frowned; although these people didn't look like much, they gave her an indescribable sense of oppression.
Even her instincts were wildly warning her.
And Wanda quietly clenched her fists; these people appearing at this moment surely had ill intentions.
"Time Variance Authority?"
Arthur recognized their identities at a glance, as they were too famous in Marvel.
Especially the scene where an entire drawer of gems was used as paperweights, which left a deep impression.
This was the Time Variance Authority,
An organization responsible for monitoring the multiverse and ensuring the timeline remains as undisturbed as possible.
He didn't expect them to come here, and from their expressions, it was clear they were here for Arthur.
"Are you Arthur?"
A plump black woman holding a small notebook walked up to Arthur and scrutinized him.
"It's me."
Arthur nodded calmly.
"You have violated the temporal order. I arrest you on the charge of disrupting the Sacred Timeline. Hands up!"
The plump woman stepped back, and the other TVA agents slowly approached,
They were also holding gun-like objects in their hands.
"Arthur, who are these people?"
Thor asked in a low, heavy voice.
Hela's expression, however, was exceptionally grave, because she felt the Night Sky Sword in her hand trembling!
This indicated that the identities of these people were absolutely not simple!
"Please come with us."
The black woman said, raising the gun-like object in her hand.
"Don't be nervous, I'll go with you."
Arthur did not refuse the TVA's request.
These people had devices to reset the timeline,
He didn't want to anger them and cause the entire timeline to be reset.
So he planned to find a place and then figure out a way to solve the problem.
Moreover, he had a question: why, after so many years of him disrupting the plot countless times,
Was it only this time that he was discovered by the Time Variance Authority?
Wait a minute…
Arthur finally understood that no matter how he changed the direction of the story, the final outcome would always remain the same.
For example, the Civil War still broke out, although something was missing, it only made the Avengersreconcile earlier.
But this time, he directly ended Ragnarok!
"Arthur?!"
Wanda's face was full of worry and tension.
Because the identities of these people were simply too mysterious.
"It's fine, you guys go back first, I'll be there in a bit."
Arthur patted Wanda's head to reassure her.
"Okay, be careful."
Wanda looked at Arthur's calm expression and could only grit her teeth and nod.
From Arthur's expression, it seemed no major problems should arise.
"This guy…"
The black plump woman was a bit surprised; they had never seen such an obedient temporal criminal before.
And Arthur was unusually calm this time.
"Let's go."
The black woman glanced at Wanda and the others, then casually placed a small cylindrical object down.
Arthur recognized it; it was a "Temporal Loom," used to reset timelines.
"Reset the timeline."
After the black plump woman finished speaking, she directly pushed Arthur into the portal.
But she didn't notice the dark red light flashing in Arthur's eyes.
And the Temporal Loom didn't activate at all; the timeline wasn't reset.
She also didn't know that she had brought a disaster back to the Time Variance Authority.
A
Time Variance Authority.
In the Judge's office.
The African-American woman sat at her desk, flipping through documents.
As her pen continuously made corrections, her expression grew increasingly grim.
"What exactly is going on?"
She couldn't help but murmur, her face full of confusion.
"Judge Renslayer, what's wrong?"
The bald man beside her noticed her unusual behavior.
Judge Renslayer rarely showed such an expression.
"Mobius, take a look at this data."
Judge Renslayer stood up and handed the document to Mobius beside her.
"Let me see."
Mobius took the document, unconsciously stroked his beard, and then began to read.
When he saw the content, the smile on his face instantly vanished.
He quickly flipped through the document, his expression growing increasingly serious.
"How is this possible?"
After Mobius finished reading, his expression became very strange.
His mind was in chaos; he couldn't understand what was going on at all.
Logically, it shouldn't be like this, but everything before his eyes was too illogical.
"I was just thinking the same thing."
Judge Renslayer took a deep breath, walked to Mobius's side, and opened one of the pages: "Look, this person violated the rules of the Sacred Timeline over a year ago, but we only just discovered it!"
When she first saw this document, she felt something was wrong.
One could say that the entire Time Variance Authority had never encountered such a situation.
Because once a timeline was altered, they could perceive the anomaly through the future.
The machines would also immediately sound an alarm to help them correct the timeline.
But this Sacred Timeline was different; it had clearly had problems for a long time, yet there had been no warnings whatsoever.
It was simply unprecedented.
"I don't understand how he did it. Did he change the timeline and then restore it to its original state?"
Mobius could only guess this, but it also seemed unlikely.
Because timelines were very difficult to control, at least so far, such a situation had never occurred.
"It's still unclear, but you should understand what this means, right?!"
Judge Renslayer shook her head, her finger continuously tapping the table.
She had seen many absurd things, but no matter how absurd, they couldn't hide from them.
Ever since the Time Variance Authority was established, they had always been able to detect deviations in the timeline.
This deviation referred to things that shouldn't have happened.
For example, A should have died but inexplicably survived; or A should have done something but didn't do it at all.
Even very small details, they could detect.
But what happened this time completely exceeded their expectations.
Judge Renslayer stared at the data for a long time, unable to figure out how he had evaded their investigation.
The temporal criminal in this file not only didn't do what he should have done but also did many things that he shouldn't have done.
Even this document wasn't complete; for example, titles like "mountain climbing champion" that should have belonged to others were taken by him.
Chapter 89 There is an emergency
So, no matter how you look at it, this information is very problematic.
It even affects the entire timeline!
"And look at what's written here, it's clearly not right, because although he changed things, the timeline didn't change!"
Mobius said, pointing at a sentence in the data.
Because from the situation, this person is like an exception.
No matter what he did, the timeline seemed to completely disregard him.
What was supposed to happen still happens, and even if it's modified, it won't affect subsequent developments.
This is very strange, as if the timeline allows him to do this, and it won't have any impact at all.
Even if major changes occurred, people who shouldn't have died died, and people who shouldn't have lived lived, there was still no impact whatsoever.
No matter how you look at it, it feels wrong!
"Yes, I always feel like some kind of power is helping him."
Judge Renslayer also stated her thoughts.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the data they saw was so chaotic.
Generally speaking, if the timeline goes wrong, it will start to get chaotic in a short time.
This is no joke; the butterfly effect is truly terrifying.
It's like running a program, and someone accidentally changed part of its path.
Although the program might run for a while, it will eventually run into problems very quickly.
But the current situation is that this program not only hasn't crashed, but is running in a way that no one can understand, and it's running very smoothly, even much better than before.
"Perhaps there's some powerful existence controlling all of this!"
Mobius slowly voiced his thoughts.
Now, only this possibility remains.
Otherwise, it's truly impossible to explain everything happening before their eyes.
"So what should we do now?"
What Judge Renslayer is most troubled by now is how to deal with this strange time criminal.
"Let's first see what his current situation is."
Mobius took a deep breath and slowly said.
Only by figuring out what's going on with this guy can they find a solution.
"B15 is currently performing the arrest."
Judge Renslayer returned to her seat, lightly tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and the information appeared on the screen.
In the monitoring screen, a young man was being led into the Time Variance Authority hall by B15.
"Is this the young man who changed the timeline?"
Mobius looked at his face, stroking his beard and muttering.
"They're back."
Judge Renslayer nodded and casually closed the file.
The first page of the file contained the time criminal's information.
Name: Arthur
Race: Human
Inside the Time Variance Authority hall.
Elite Soldiers stood on either side of Arthur.
But there was no trace of tension on these Elite Soldiers's faces; they looked like they were just casually bringing someone back.
"The Authority really has a bit of a retro style."
Arthur looked around, curiously observing his surroundings.
In fact, he had long been curious about the Time Variance Authority.
He never expected to be brought here now.
And there was an old-fashioned European style from the 70s and 80s here.
"Kang is truly nostalgic."
Arthur thought to himself.
This style was too old-fashioned; even the walls were slightly yellowed, almost making one think they had entered some old video rental store.
Looking at everything around him, he always felt as if he had traveled through time.
After all, apart from the Elite Soldiers beside him, everyone else was dressed very simply.
"The power within me is being suppressed."
At this moment, Arthur suddenly felt the immense power within him slowly disappearing.
No, it was being suppressed.
It was gradually being compressed, making it unusable.
"Oh, this is a bit interesting!"
Arthur didn't panic when he felt this power; instead, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
In fact, he had heard of this situation before.
This is the Null Zone, a space that exists outside normal spacetime.
It contains the remnants of discarded timelines and Universes that have long since disappeared in normal time; it's a very special place, without the rules of a normal Universe.
Even the Infinity Stones cannot be used here.
Because of this, anyone who comes here will be directly suppressed.
No matter how strong they were originally, they are helpless here.
After all, once you enter here, even the power originally contained within your body cannot be used. Not to mention that there are also devices here that adjust the flow of time, making it impossible to resist.
However…
It seems that the special space cannot completely suppress the Phoenix Force.
Arthur clearly felt that the suppressed power within him was slowly recovering.
"It seems their suppressive power isn't omnipotent either!"
The corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted; if this were true, it would be interesting.
Because if he could control the Phoenix Force, it meant he could unlock other powers.
After recovering his full strength here, the people from the Time Variance Authority would be no different from ordinary people in front of him.
"You can't do this!"
The iron door next door opened, and a man struggled out: "This is illegal detention! Let me go! I am the heir of Shengsi Group!"
He shouted, looking back warily.
His hoarse shouts echoed in the registration hall.
"Time criminal openly resisting, enforce the judgment."
The Elite Soldiers who chased him out struck the man with a weapon.
The man looked at the Elite Soldiers in disbelief, then looked down to see his body being devoured and disappearing little by little!
Arthur watched all of this calmly.
The weapons they used were quite interesting, like deleting files, directly formatting people away.
"If you dare to resist, you'll end up the same way."
The black woman beside him suddenly spoke: "My name is B-15, you'd best not think about resisting."
Because many time criminals who came in here tried to resist.
People who can change time are basically not good people.
So this kind of thing is very common here.
"Hmm."
Arthur's expression was indifferent; he felt no ripple from the death of the person just now, and even felt a lingering sense of interest.
B-15 was surprised by Arthur's calmness when she saw this scene.
She had never seen anyone so composed, not even those who considered themselves gods were this calm.
After all, it was making a powerful person disappear out of thin air; even the strongest person would feel fear.
But B-15 still reminded him according to the rules: "In the Time Variance Authority, no superpowers can be used. You are just an ordinary person now, don't think about escaping or disobeying."
These people are waiting to be judged by them.
If they can cooperate obediently, that would certainly be best, as it would save a lot of trouble.
After all, there are too many things to deal with every day.
"Hmm."
Arthur merely glanced indifferently at B-15, then turned his gaze to his surroundings, observing them carefully.
It was as if he hadn't taken B-15's words to heart at all, focusing on observing everything around him by himself.
B-15 frowned slightly when she saw this, because this time criminal was too strange.
It could be said that she had never seen such a calm person.
No matter what happened, he always seemed to go with the flow.
She originally thought he was brave to follow them, but it didn't seem to be the case at all.
In the Judge's office.
"Why is this person so strange? Every one of his movements is so calm!"
Mobius frowned, observing carefully.
There were also people who pretended to be calm when they first arrived, but once they saw the fate of the resistors, they would tremble with fear.
Even those self-proclaimed powerful gods were as fragile as paper here.
But this person named Arthur made him feel a little off.
"I think so too, he's too composed, as if he already knew what was going to happen."
Judge Renslayer agreed.
This person seemed to obey everything.
But in reality, he didn't take the current situation to heart at all.
He even gave people the feeling that he was just here for tourism.
Although it sounded a bit strange, this person did give them that feeling.
"Could it be that this person has something special about him?"
Mobius stroked his beard, slowly stating his guess.
Generally speaking, only people with confidence would be so indifferent to everything.
He didn't believe that anyone would truly disregard their own life.
"Not sure, let's just watch for now, maybe we can find some clues."
Judge Renslayer shook her head, saying with a hint of helplessness.
After all, they could only continue to observe now.
"Put this on."
B-15 took a collar from the side and handed it over casually.
Because Arthur was so obedient, she didn't even need to resort to force.
He seemed to say whatever was on his mind.
Arthur took the collar and examined it carefully.
This collar should be used to control the flow of time.
He curiously stared at the symbol on it.
"Aren't you going to put it on quickly? Do you want me to help you?"
B-15 was stunned again; this guy was too calm.
But watching Arthur fiddle with the collar, her expression gradually changed.
Hearing B-15's words, Arthur slowly looked up: "How do I wear this? Can you teach me?"
"You don't even know how to do this?"
B-15 took a deep breath, walked to Arthur with a displeased look, and prepared to help him put on the collar.
But just as she approached Arthur, Arthur moved.
He moved extremely fast, directly putting the collar around B-15's neck.
"What are you doing!"
B-15 came to her senses, her face full of anger, she ripped off the collar, then suddenly pulled out her weapon from her waist, swinging it towards Arthur.
With a bang!
Instantly, golden light flashed in Arthur's eyes, and two heat rays directly melted both the weapon and B-15's hand.
"!!!"
B-15 clutched her hand and squatted on the ground, letting out a painful cry.
Things happened too suddenly; she didn't even have time to react.
Judge Renslayer and Mobius saw this scene through the monitor and were instantly numb with shock! How could this be!
People in the Null Zone cannot use special abilities at all!
Even the Infinity Stones will be ineffective!

A Heavenly Palace, in the main hall.
"Will Arthur be alright? He still hasn't returned!"
Wanda paced back and forth anxiously, her face full of worry.
She didn't even know how those people appeared.
And as soon as they appeared, they made people feel immense pressure.
As if they could easily do things she couldn't.
"I don't know, but what's certain is that those people are very strong, even stronger than us."
Hela shook her head gloomily, forcing out a faint smile: "But I believe Arthur will definitely be able to deal with them!"
When those people appeared, even her Night Sky Swordtrembled slightly.
Although their attire made them look like ordinary people, they gave her immense pressure.
She knew that if she fought, she would be no match.
Moreover, the way those people appeared was very strange; they were clearly after Arthur.
More importantly, Arthur seemed to know them, and even calmly followed them, showing no intention of resisting.
But the more this happened, the stranger it became; Arthur's personality shouldn't be this agreeable.
"I hope so…"
Wanda clasped her hands together, silently praying in her heart, she only hoped that Arthur could return safely.
As long as he could return, that would be enough.
"That guy is so powerful, no one can touch him!"
Thor looked indifferent; he believed that anyone stronger than his father must be the strongest being in the World.
Given that, there was no need to worry about anything happening.
"Emergency!"
Just then, a Golden Armored Warrior rushed in from outside, his face still showing a panicked expression.
"You're a warrior, why are you so flustered!" Thor frowned and scolded loudly.
He felt that this appearance was a disgrace to Asgard.
"Alright." Hela waved her hand, interrupting Thor, then asked: "What exactly happened?"
She knew that although the Golden Armored Warrior of Asgard were not strong, they always obeyed orders strictly. They would never be like this normally; they looked
Chapter 90 It's impossible to control it
Something big must have happened.
"Heimdall just discovered an unknown mothership approaching Asgard."
"And from its movements, it's highly likely to be an enemy!"
The Golden Armored Warrior tried to calm himself down and quickly explained the situation.
Because that mothership was not only enormous, but also covered in various weapons, clearly not something benevolent.
"Unknown mothership?!"
Hela's expression immediately turned serious. She hadn't expected to encounter something like this at such a time.
It was known that Odin had just passed away, and an external enemy breaking in at this moment was not a good thing.
Moreover, the opponent came so quickly, it was very likely they were targeting Asgard!
"Let's go, let's see!" Hela gritted her teeth and walked quickly outside. She needed to understand the opponent's objective first before deciding what to do next.
Thor and the others, seeing Hela leave, also quickly followed.
After all, they still didn't know what the situation was. If it was truly an enemy invasion, then it would be real trouble.
Soon, they arrived at the Bifrost Bridge.
"Goddess of Death Hela, you've finally arrived!" Heimdall's tension eased slightly upon seeing Hela.
Hela simply nodded, then immediately looked through Heimdall towards the unknown mothership.
What she saw was an incredibly massive mothership, with huge wings that seemed to cover the entire sky.
Even more terrifying, it was loaded with all sorts of weapons.
And this appearance, she found it very familiar.
The moment she saw the mothership, her pupils instantly constricted.
"That's Thanos!"
Loki couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the terrifying Sanctuary mothership.
He never expected it to be this guy, Thanos!
"Damn it, has this guy finally lost his patience?!"
Hela's expression became extremely grim.
They had heard that something had happened with the Dwarves, but hadn't sent anyone to investigate yet.
Because during this period, Odin had just passed away, and no one could spare the time to investigate.
Now that Thanos had arrived, she probably guessed that this guy could no longer suppress his ambition.
Coupled with Odin's death, this was indeed an excellent opportunity for them.
...
Inside the Time Variance Authority.
"This... this is impossible!"
Judge Renslayer stared at the monitor screen, unable to help but exclaim in shock.
It was the first time she had seen something like this. Everyone's power was suppressed upon entering, so it was impossible to use abilities. But the scene before her shattered her worldview, making it utterly incomprehensible what was happening.
"My God, what in the World is this guy?!"
Mobius was so shocked his eyes nearly popped out. This was simply impossible; they had never encountered such a situation. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have even thought he was dreaming.
The Null Zone was a place that existed outside of normal spacetime, containing the remnants of abandoned timelines and Universes that no longer existed in reality, making it an extremely special space. Arthur's extraordinary power should not have been usable at all!
And it had been this way for so many years, so why did an exception suddenly appear?
But now... Arthur had completely overturned their understanding, even leaving them at a loss for what to do for a while.
"This guy is not right; there's definitely something wrong with him."
Judge Renslayer grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "A variant has escaped! Go immediately! Guards, go now!"
The most urgent thing now was to capture Arthur. If he escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At the same time, in the registration hall.
"My hand... my hand is gone!"
B-15 was terrified, a sharp pain shooting through her wrist. She clutched her bleeding wrist, looking at Arthur with a face full of fear.
She wondered if she had seen the legendary devil.
Why could someone use their abilities when their power was suppressed? This was simply impossible!
Looking at Arthur's calm eyes, she trembled even more with fear.
Fear and pain spread like vines.
She looked at Arthur, who was close at hand, and involuntarily backed away. Although she was in a lot of pain now, she wanted to stay away from this demon even more.
"Be careful with your actions in the future."
Arthur said expressionlessly. He hadn't intended to act, but he didn't expect this person to dare to attack him. He always disliked being at a disadvantage, so he instinctively retaliated.
"You demon!"
B-15 retreated in fear, bumping into the wall. She finally understood why Arthur seemed so calm. It was because his power had not been restricted at all.
Although she wasn't sure how the other party did it, she could be certain that this guy had the ability to easily kill her.
"He's over there!"
Urgent footsteps came from outside, and then a group of guards in black armor surrounded Arthur.
Their faces were all vigilant, because this prisoner's power had not been sealed.
This meant that this person was very dangerous!
After all, although the people here had the ability to modify timelines,
they would certainly be harmed when facing a powerful being.
"Surrender immediately now!"
One of the guards shouted loudly, waving the weapon in his hand.
If Arthur wasn't so dangerous, they would have rushed forward long ago.
"Don't be so agitated; I just want to look around."
Arthur spread his hands helplessly, looking at the group of people with a speechless expression.
Why couldn't they understand what he was saying?
And he just wanted to protect himself.
If that woman hadn't attacked first, he wouldn't have acted without hesitation.
"Since you won't surrender voluntarily, then don't blame us!"
The guards simultaneously tightened their grip on their weapons and approached Arthur.
They were ready to eliminate Arthur at any moment.
The danger of such a variant was too great to be delayed any longer.
"Are you planning to challenge me with these little trinkets?"
Arthur frowned, looking at the surrounding guards, and actively took a step closer to them.
Although their technology was somewhat interesting, it was still too naive to deal with him.
If he wanted to, he could directly destroy the entire Time Variance Authority right now!
The guards were forced to retreat by Arthur's steady advance, continuously backing away in fear.
They were human too, and they were afraid of death. They had seen B-15's fate with their own eyes.
No one dared to act rashly without absolute certainty.
They only hoped that this variant in front of them would obediently comply.
"Stop him quickly!"
B-15, clutching her constantly bleeding severed hand, shouted in pain.
How could so many people not be able to deal with this guy?
She wished she could erase this damn thing from time.
She had worked here for so many years, and it was the first time she had encountered such a situation!
The guards, hearing B-15's angry roar, all gasped for breath.
Then they gritted their teeth and swarmed forward.
After all, this was their superior, and subduing this variant was inherently their duty.
"Why are you all so agitated!"
Facing the swarming guards, Arthur helplessly spread his hands, and a dark red energy surge erupted from his body, directly sending them flying.
As they were sent flying, countless dark red energies, like finding food, rapidly spread up their bodies.
Upon contact with the dark red energy, their bodies began to rapidly disintegrate, accompanied by painful screams, turning into dust in mid-air.
At the same time, more guards rushed in from outside, charging towards Arthur, but after seeing this scene, they all stopped in their tracks.
The dark red energy surge lingering in the air was still slowly spreading outwards.
"What in the World is this guy?!"
They were so scared their legs turned to jelly, and they directly knelt on the ground.
Although they wanted to get up, fear made them completely unable to move.
Arthur's body was slowly turning into dust, scattering with the wind.
In the blink of an eye, all the guards who approached him turned into black particles and slowly dissipated.
"Don't... don't come any closer!"
Only one guard remained, trembling as he raised his weapon, not daring to take another step forward, his eyes filled with terror.
He was regretting it deeply now; this demon was too terrifying.
He didn't even dare to get close; those dark red energy bodies were simply frightening.
Having worked here for so long, it was the first time he had seen something so terrifying.
"Come here."
Arthur impatiently beckoned to him.
These people were truly courting death.
They were so weak in strength; if it weren't for technology, they wouldn't be able to deal with those variants at all.
But unfortunately for them, they encountered him, utterly unlucky.
The guard trembled all over, not daring to move, shaking his head repeatedly.
Whoosh!
Arthur instantly appeared in front of him, moving so fast that it was imperceptible.
He raised his fist, and dark red energy rolled on his fist.
The guard, seeing this scene, was so scared that he directly sat down on the ground, the weapon in his hand trembling constantly.
The expression on his face was like that of a captured young girl, pitiful and helpless.
Although he had a weapon in his hand, he didn't even have the courage to resist.
Arthur raised his fist, but didn't smash it down. Instead, he directly poked the weapon at himself.
"The Time Variance Authority uses this kind of thing to deal with me?"
This thing couldn't hurt him at all; he knew that very well, after all, he wasn't a person from this World.
The guard's scalp tingled with fear, his face filled with terror.
B-15, hiding in the corner, stared at Arthur in disbelief. How could someone in the World escape the erasure of the timeline?!
"Escape erasure?!"
Judge Renslayer was also shocked beyond belief.
She had never seen anything like this; it completely overturned her understanding.
"Impossible, no one can prevent being erased!"
Mobius stammered, his hands trembling.
Fear spread from his back all the way to his head.
Because they themselves were people of the Time Variance Authority, and they couldn't escape the fate of being erased.
And everything before them completely shattered their beliefs.
This weapon was called "RetCan"; those chosen would be completely erased from reality.
A chill ran down Judge Renslayer's spine, and cold sweat streamed down her back, soaking her clothes.
Her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to do.
"He... he cannot be erased..."
B-15 even forgot the pain, only wanting to retreat, but she was already against the wall, with nowhere to escape.
The guards who came to support were all dumbfounded.
They used to fear nothing, because they had weapons in hand.
But now, weapons were useless against Arthur.
B-15 seemed to suddenly remember something, and she glared at the guards, roaring, "Damn it, quickly use the Time Twister!"
The guards immediately pulled out their Time Twisters.
This remote control could interfere with living beings, and even pause the timeline or the actions of a certain life.
The guard finally reacted, nervously pressing the button in the corner.
But Arthur in front of them seemed completely unaware of their actions, still striding forward.
"Is this guy a robot?!"
B-15 was completely desperate.
This was not human at all!
This method had never failed before; no one could escape it, unless the opponent was a "dead object."
"Don't waste your effort."
Arthur looked at them, helplessly shaking his head and sighing.
The existence of a single Universe had long transcended time and reality.
The things of the Time Variance Authority were completely ineffective against him.
Even outside the Null Zone, the Time Stone would have difficulty affecting him.
"Who can tell me what exactly is going on with this guy?"
Judge Renslayer looked at the screen, her face full of shock, completely at a loss for what to do.
Such a guy was simply impossible to control!
Mobius's voice trembled constantly, and he sat weakly in his chair.
"There's only one possibility now."
"This guy has already transcended the timeline!"

Mobius had worked at the Time Variance Authority his entire life.
He had seen countless people, even many gods.
In their eyes, so-called gods were simply not worth mentioning.
He had personally arrested countless people; anyone who appeared on the Sacred Timeline would be treated equally.
But there was only one type of person who was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Time Variance Authority.
That was an existence that transcended the timeline.
They had no way to deal with such an existence.
