The Time Variance Authority had a long history.
If measured by ordinary time, it could be traced back dozens of centuries.
Across the Multiverse, countless timelines had continued to expand, and all kinds of wars had broken out again and again.
Then the three Time-Keepers appeared.
They protected the one and only Sacred Timeline and established the Time Variance Authority.
Through the efforts of the Time Variance Authority, the Sacred Timeline had been very well protected.
Because of that, the three Time-Keepers held an extremely high position within the Time Variance Authority.
In truth, their words were law. They had always controlled the Time Variance Authority.
The judge might look very imposing inside the Time Variance Authority, but once the three Time-Keepers spoke, she would be finished on the spot.
Now that something like this had happened, she naturally had to seek guidance from the three true rulers.
After returning to headquarters, she stepped into the most special elevator in the Time Variance Authority.
It brought her to an extremely unusual room.
With her lips tight from nervousness, she pushed the door open and walked in.
"Great Time-Keepers."
"The Time Variance Authority has been invaded by an external enemy."
"If the Time Variance Authority's temporal barrier is destroyed, even the Sacred Timeline may be annihilated."
The judge spoke in an extremely tense voice.
She lowered her head, not daring to look up at all, and waited for the Time-Keepers above to reply.
But after waiting and waiting, no sound came from above.
Gathering her courage, she raised her head.
Only then did she discover that the three Time-Keepers sitting on the thrones looked as if they were dead. Even the light in their eyes had faded away.
The judge's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
What was going on?
Why had things become like this?
Could it be that the three Time-Keepers had already…
A strange light flickered in the judge's eyes.
Anyone who had held a high position for a long time feared losing their power.
The judge had held her position for so long.
How could she possibly have no ambition in her heart?
She had merely pretended to be obedient so she could stabilize her own authority.
And now, the three Time-Keepers might actually be dead?
She almost laughed out loud.
The judge stood up and walked toward the thrones, wanting to check whether the three Time-Keepers were truly dead.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that."
A weathered voice sounded from behind her.
The judge abruptly turned around.
Only then did she discover that a short-haired, muscular Black man had appeared behind her at some unknown point.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you here?"
The judge spoke in an extremely stern voice.
"Ravonna Renslayer."
"Don't you recognize me?"
The Black man spoke.
"You… you…"
Ravonna's words became a little stuttered.
"You have faithfully served me for so many years. Now that I'm standing right in front of you, you can't even recognize my position?"
The man spoke again.
"That's impossible! Who exactly are you?"
Ravonna shouted in agitation.
"You may call me Kang the Conqueror."
"I created the Time Variance Authority."
"You should serve me."
Kang the Conqueror spoke in a hoarse voice.
Ravonna still wanted to say something.
But Kang directly stopped her.
"Don't waste time."
"The enemy invading this time is not simple."
"The Time Variance Authority's temporal barrier may not be able to hold him back."
"Are you sure you want to waste your time here?"
Kang looked at Ravonna before him with a faint smile.
Ravonna's heart also clenched.
Thinking of Miss Minutes' words, she felt a chill run through her.
She did not want to die!
"What should I do?"
"We have no way to resist an enemy like this."
Ravonna spoke.
Although they possessed a certain level of combat ability and could be considered elites among ordinary people, when facing an enemy of this level, she knew her own limits very well.
"Negotiate, of course."
Kang spoke with confidence.
"Negotiate?"
"What do we have to negotiate with?"
"This person clearly isn't from the Sacred Timeline!"
Ravonna said.
"No, no. Of course we have bargaining chips."
"Your Minutemen did fairly well."
"They previously intercepted several people."
"We have hostages."
"You can completely negotiate with this man and make him leave to search for his people."
Kang said.
"What?"
"The people I pruned are still alive?"
Ravonna was shocked.
"Of course they're still alive."
"Everything that gets pruned is sent to the Void at the End of Time."
"They will naturally be dealt with there."
"You only need to make a deal with him and have him enter the Void at the End of Time. Once he goes there, he naturally won't be coming back."
Kang said.
"And you had better move quickly."
"The Time Variance Authority cannot hold out for much longer."
Kang glanced at her.
Ravonna's heart tightened.
"I understand!"
After taking a deep breath, Ravonna walked out.
Her movements were swift and decisive.
She quickly gathered her people and used the TVA's communication equipment to contact Karl.
"Sorcerer Supreme of Earth."
"I want to discuss a condition with you."
Ravonna said.
"A condition?"
"Why should I discuss conditions with you?"
"Or rather, what qualifications do you have to discuss conditions with me?"
Karl looked with interest at the holographic projection that had appeared before him.
"We do have bargaining chips."
"Your people are not dead yet. They are all still trapped in one place."
"If you still want your friends to live, then stop attacking."
Ravonna said.
"Oh?"
"In that case, there may be room for discussion."
Karl smiled and spoke.
"Then release them, apologize, and make compensation. I can forgive your rudeness."
Karl said.
"No. I cannot release them."
Ravonna said.
"Then it looks like you have no sincerity."
Karl shrugged.
"You misunderstand."
"Your people were sent to a certain special place."
"We cannot rescue them."
"But your power is strong enough. You can rescue your friends yourself."
"We can provide you with equipment and coordinates."
Ravonna said.
"And you had better make your decision quickly."
"That place is not safe."
"Will you choose to subdue us and force a fight to the death, destroying the entire Multiverse, or will you choose to save your friends?"
Ravonna said.
A brilliant smile appeared on Karl's face.
"Forget it. I'll spare you this time."
"Give me the equipment. I'll go bring my people back."
Karl said.
A flash of golden light appeared before him.
An object that looked like a phone appeared in front of Karl.
