"This, this, this..."
Seeing himself on the screen being struck by Sif again and again and falling to the ground, Loki's entire body broke out in goosebumps, and a chill rushed from his back straight to his forehead.
As a man, what punishment could be more terrifying than this endless torture?
Trapping him in this infinite hell, that Mobius was far too cruel!
"Gulp."
Even Tony Stark could not restrain himself at this moment. He quietly swallowed and stood there in silence.
As long as one was a man, who would not be afraid of such a thing?
Stephen Strange muttered even more at that moment:
"If an ordinary man suffered such repeated attacks, it is estimated that it would soon become necrotic and could only be surgically removed."
"No way?"
Peter Parker was shocked and could not help but glance back at Loki.
Loki became furious when he saw that look and fiercely glared back at him.
"Kid! What are you looking at?"
While he was angry, Loki's heart also secretly turned cold.
His body naturally could not be compared with ordinary humans, but if he truly suffered such attacks endlessly, not to mention the pain, that humiliation alone would make one's scalp go numb!
"Ha ha."
At this moment, in the live broadcast room, little Wanda looked at the several pale and silent men around her and finally could not help but laugh loudly.
[Mordo: To be honest, this is truly incredible.]
[Mordo: I do not know how those people from the Time Variance Authority did it. Even in our magical world, this magic of manipulating time is a top-level spell!]
[Stephen Strange: What? Spells can do such a thing?]
[Mordo: Of course, but this kind of spell is extremely dangerous. If it is not controlled properly, it can create temporal branches, unstable half-dimensions, and even space-time paradoxes! This is not a spell that apprentices can use.]
[Loki Odinson: Then can you tell me how to escape from this space-time cycle?]
[Mordo: Sorry, I cannot help you. Once this infinite loop is formed, unless the person who created the loop actively breaks it, it is generally not easy for outsiders to break through it.]
[Mordo: Apart from the Ancient One, I cannot think of anyone who can do it!]
As he said this, Mordo unconsciously turned his head and looked at the Eye of Agamotto hanging on the Ancient One's chest...
[The image continues.]
[Finally, after an unknown number of cycles, Loki looked as though he had given up struggling and fell to the ground with a miserable expression.]
["You! You are treacherous and cunning, cowardly and weak..."]
[Hearing Sif's voice sound again, Loki did not even have the strength to stand up. He merely stretched out his hand and weakly shouted.]
["Sif, please, not again. Please, I beg you."]
[He struggled to support his body, but this time Loki truly seemed unable to stand up. He could only assume a kneeling position before Sif.]
["I cut your hair because I thought it was amusing."]
["But it is not amusing at all."]
[Seeing that Sif did not directly strike him as before, Loki took a deep breath and continued:]
["I crave the attention of others. Because I am narcissistic."]
["I think it is because I am afraid of being alone."]
[Hearing Loki's inner monologue and looking at him kneeling on the ground with a miserable face, Sif seemed to have finally given up on revenge, so she extended her hand toward Loki.]
[Loki took Sif's hand and finally stood up.]
[At this moment, Sif coldly said to Loki, who stood embarrassed before her.]
["You truly are alone, and you will be alone forever."]
[After saying that, Sif pushed Loki away and walked directly outside.]
[Immediately afterward, another person came through the door where Sif had repeatedly appeared, but this time Mobius appeared.]
["Good." Loki looked dejected. Mobius calmly said:]
["Now we can talk."]
Live broadcast room.
"Hmph, this guy's methods have not changed at all."
Tony Stark coldly snorted, with a trace of contempt on his face.
Stephen Strange, who stood beside him, also calmly said:
"Last time, when Mobius faced Loki, he also used those unfortunate and dark futures to strike at his heart and attempt to break his psychological defenses."
This time, Mobius was obviously using the same routine.
Natasha Romanoff thoughtfully listened. "Break him first, then manipulate him?"
"It sounds like a standard brainwashing routine."
Loki himself also snorted through his nose at this moment:
"You humans have a saying: an old dog cannot learn new tricks!"
"It seems that this Mobius is no longer young either, yet you still expect him to use some new methods?"
Hearing Loki's words once again carry his usual confidence, Peter Parker quietly asked:
"Mr. Loki, do you think that under these circumstances, the 'other you' has a chance to make a comeback?"
"Of course he does."
Loki smiled:
"On that small planet that was supposed to be destroyed, I heard something incredible from Sylvie."
Loki once again placed his signature smile on his face:
"As long as this matter is used properly, it will not be a problem to incite most of the people in the TVA to rebel."
[The image continues.]
[Loki and Mobius returned to the projection room.]
[Seeming to have regained some strength, Loki sat down while pretending to be indifferent and said:]
["Fancy technology. Intimidating interrogation strategy. It feels as though yesterday has appeared again."]
[As before, the two of them sat together again. Even their positions were exactly the same.]
[Mobius: "A great deal has happened since then."]
["Last time, you said that the Time Variance Authority was deceiving me, so please explain it in detail."]
[Looking at Loki with his arms crossed, seemingly having no intention of speaking, Mobius used another aggressive approach.]
["Or is it still only your cockroach-like survival instinct?"]
[Loki did not fall for it, but reversed the situation and said: "Let me out of here and do nothing to me. I will tell you."]
[Mobius did not respond to Loki's words at all, but directly nodded and said.]
["Of course, it truly is a cockroach. It seems I was not wrong."]
[Then Mobius pointed out the key issue and asked: "How long had you been working for Loki at that time?"]
["Me, working for her?"]
[Loki's face was stunned. "Are you joking?"]
[Mobius: "If you do not belong to her, are you partners?"]
["Of course we are not."]
[Loki recalled with a disgusted expression: "That person is far too difficult to get along with, a true headache. And she kept beating me. No! The two of us are definitely not partners."]
[Mobius seemed to strongly agree with this:]
["I also do not think you would have a partner. Unless that partner was useful to you, and you would definitely betray them at some point."]
[Listening to Mobius's sarcasm, Loki finally could not endure it:]
["That is called a means to an end. That is how the real world works."]
["In reality, all of us choose any means necessary to achieve our goals."]
["Ah."]
[Mobius retorted without hesitation: "Do you think I need a prince to teach me how the real world works?"]
["You had better tell me what caused the temporal branch on that colonial satellite base!"]
[Loki immediately denied it without hesitation: "No, I will never tell you."]
["Because as soon as I tell you, you will immediately use me and discard me, then erase me."]
["Well, it seems we are at an impasse."]
[Mobius raised the file from the table and said indifferently.]
["I will miss the time when we argued."]
["You play checkers, while I play chess. Our methods are different."]
[While speaking inexplicably, Mobius stood up and took the time controller from his arms.]
["All right, Loki. Say hello to Ms. Sif for me."]
["What?"]
[As soon as he heard this, Loki's expression suddenly changed, and his originally confident and arrogant expression instantly collapsed.]
["I do not want to. Wait, no, no... please wait."]
[Mobius pressed the time controller several times and slightly raised his head.]
["What happened?"]
[Looking at you, an old schemer, Loki simply did the opposite and directly said: "Of course it was me. I manipulated all of this from behind the scenes."]
["The female Loki came to Asgard long ago to find me, and then took me to one of the scenes before an apocalypse and told me everything there. Then we made a plan together."]
[Mobius asked: "What plan?"]
["The plan is already being carried out." Loki's expression was unpredictable.]
["Loki at that time was only my pawn."]
["An extremely important event will happen soon. After that event, I will personally kill her!"]
[Looking at Loki's confident smile, Mobius suddenly dropped a bombshell, leaving Loki stunned.]
["Fine, but you no longer need to do that. She has already been erased."]
["Suppose I really let you go..."]
[Loki was as though struck by lightning. His eyes suddenly became dull, and a ghostly expression appeared on his face.]
["Wait, what did you just say?"]
[Mobius spread his hands: "Suppose I really let you go."]
["No, what you said before that. She is dead?" Loki asked in disbelief.]
["Yes. Before that, she was going to kill both of us." Mobius said somewhat angrily:]
["She should have been sent to the time prison, but she escaped. Hunter B-15 erased her."]
["From this perspective, perhaps you should write a thank-you letter to Hunter B-15. After all, she did what you originally wanted to do."]
["Now it seems that you truly are the highest-level Loki."]
[Listening to Mobius's rambling, Loki pretentiously shrugged.]
["I finally got rid of her."]
[But although Loki did his best to suppress his expression, his eyes still revealed horror, fear, sorrow, regret, and many other emotional waves. It could be seen at a glance.]
[Mobius glanced at Loki and immediately could no longer look away.]
[Soon, he began laughing again: "Hahahahahaha."]
[Loki: "What is so funny?"]
["Hahaha, just look at your eyes. You like her!"]
[Mobius laughed loudly.]
["You love her, but does she love you?"]
[Loki asked somewhat impatiently: "Has she truly been erased?"]
["No wonder, no wonder you do not know what caused the temporal branch in the Lamentis colony."]
[Mobius smiled and said: "It turns out that two Lokis fell in love in that place."]
["This truly is the end of the world."]
[Mobius's entire body was excited:]
["Two temporal criminals who have the same body. This kind of morbid love actually happened."]
["No wonder reality would break and unprecedented chaos would appear in the timeline!"]
[Mobius laughed and said: "Now my reality is broken!"]
["You fell in love with yourself."]
["Your narcissism has almost reached a world-shaking state."]
[Hearing this, Loki finally could not help but shout: "Is she still alive now?"]
[Mobius looked at Loki silently for a while and coldly said: "For now, she is still alive."]
[Loki breathed a sigh of relief.]
[Mobius then continued asking.]
["Infiltrating the Time Variance Authority, is that your great plan?"]
[Loki shrugged: "In a way. Our interests are aligned."]
[Mobius nodded as he listened.]
["You want to overthrow the Time-Keepers."]
[Loki: "Perhaps they should be overthrown."]
[Mobius gently shook his head. "I really should slap you."]
[Loki tried to persuade Mobius, but Mobius did not believe him at all.]
[In the end, Loki finally lost his patience and shouted.]
["You are actually temporal criminals!"]
[This sentence finally silenced Mobius, making him freeze in place, unable to speak for a while.]
[Loki continued shouting:]
["Everyone who works in the Time Variance Authority is a temporal criminal."]
["The Time-Keepers did not create you. They kidnapped you from the timeline. Then they erased your memories. They forced you to serve them without even knowing it."]
[As he said this, Loki paused: "But Sylvie can enter those memories using possession magic."]
["Therefore, in the past, you had your own life, your own family, your own life."]
[Listening to Loki's words, Mobius sat there in astonishment. Usually eloquent, at this moment he could not say a single word.]
[After a long time, he uttered one sentence: "Well done, I almost believed you."]
[Seeing this, Loki helplessly leaned back and completely gave up trying to persuade the person before him.]
[And Mobius also began his counterattack at this moment: "Wonderful. You two Lokis truly are a natural pair."]
["Incredible. Wherever the two of you go, there is only death and destruction. You are like a walking end of the world."]
In the live broadcast room of another world, Loki suddenly sneered...
"Hahaha, it worked."
Strange also nodded at this moment:
"This Mobius has finally begun saying those irrelevant words, which proves that he is in chaos."
Tony Stark said even more decisively:
"This man's heart has been shaken!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, Loki's signature smile once again appeared on his face.
"The internal collapse of the Time Variance Authority has already begun!"
