In the live broadcast room.
"Are these guys also Loki?"
Seeing the broken horns on the heads of the old man and the child, Loki's eyes flashed.
Honestly speaking, after seeing the female version of Loki, he had already been prepared for other Loki variants to appear on the screen.
But soon, Loki's eyes suddenly widened, as though he had seen something unbelievable!
Because he saw the alligator in the boy's arms, and it was actually wearing Loki's distinctive horns on its head!
"Are you joking? Is this crocodile also Loki?"
Loki's eyes rounded. He stared dumbfounded at the alligator on the screen, feeling extremely depressed, and he almost had the urge to vomit blood.
He could accept that there were old, female, or child versions of himself in the multiverse.
But an animal version of Loki was truly too much.
Little Wanda pointed at the crocodile on the screen and laughed loudly:
"Look! Even the crocodile is wearing Loki's crown on its head."
"What?"
Peter Parker looked at the screen in disbelief, and his mouth unconsciously opened wide.
"Hahaha..."
Tony also showed no consideration for Loki at all. He held his stomach and laughed so hard that he bent back and forth.
"Damn it!"
Just as Loki gritted his teeth in embarrassment, feeling as though he was being publicly executed before everyone,
the large screen before them suddenly went black.
Immediately afterward, the system's voice sounded.
[Ding! Loki's 100 live broadcast points for this round have been used up. Do you wish to continue the broadcast?]
[If you wish to continue, you must add more live broadcast points.]
"Huh? Even this requires additional payment?"
Seeing the line of words that appeared on the screen together with the system's voice, several people in the live broadcast room were stunned.
And Loki immediately shouted:
"Continue! Of course we continue! I still have 100 live broadcast points, and I will use all of them!"
Since entering the live broadcast room, Loki had answered three questions correctly.
The first time, he obtained Frostmourne. The second time, he awakened Frostmourne's skill. The third time, he obtained The World.
In addition, he had also received three hundred live broadcast points, after which he ordered two additional broadcasts.
Now he had only the final 100 live broadcast points remaining.
But at this moment, he barely hesitated at all.
After all, even for this so-called on-demand broadcast, he had to compete with others.
This time he had been lucky and managed to defeat Tony and Wanda, taking first place, but next time...
If he failed to win the on-demand broadcast next time, who knew when he would be able to see the continuation of the recording?
Therefore, Loki decisively made his decision and immediately used this opportunity to see as much of his future as possible.
Soon, the system's voice sounded again!
[Ding! Loki Odinson spends 100 live broadcast points! The future broadcast begins.]
[Ding! The video begins.]
[A new image appeared on the screen.]
[In an uninhabited wasteland, Loki looked at several strange people before him and nervously asked:]
["Where is this? Where are we? Who are you?"]
[The elderly Loki, who wore a pointed helmet on his head, approached Loki and said somewhat hurriedly:]
["This is the Void, and that is Alioth. If we are too slow, you will become his lunch! Run after me!"]
[Loki was completely confused by this string of words and instinctively looked around.]
[He saw purple-black mist covering the sky and surging from the distance like mountains and seas at an unbelievable speed.]
[And from deep inside that mist, a terrifying roar could faintly be heard, as though some monster inside it was constantly roaring.]
[Immediately after Loki began fleeing in panic while following the three strange men, the head of a beast emerged from the mist.]
[Crimson light shone in the eyes and enormous mouth of that monster, while purple electrical energy continuously flashed in the mist behind it.]
["Roooar!"]
[Suddenly, that terrifying monster opened its enormous mouth and released a blood-curdling roar!]
"What the hell is that?"
"A monster made of mist? Why does something like that even exist?"
"Is this place truly hell?"
Looking at the monster that almost filled the entire sky on the screen, most people were stunned.
Tony Stark and Stephen Strange exchanged glances, and both could see horror deep in the other's eyes.
Loki's brows remained tightly furrowed the entire time, while an ominous thought appeared in his heart.
He had clearly seen that among the three strange people from moments ago, the black man held a strange hammer in his hand.
Guided by a certain instinct, Loki was almost certain that the hammer was most likely Mjolnir from some parallel universe!
And if that was truly the case, then the black Loki could actually lift that hammer!
But even with such power, the three Lokis were still fleeing desperately.
From this, it could be concluded that the mist monster Alioth was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
Watching several Lokis fleeing on the screen, Peter Parker scratched his head somewhat anxiously.
"My head is spinning."
"What the hell is going on with that TVA?"
Strange calmly said:
"Allow me to organize everything. First of all, the Time-Keepers are robots. From that, it is obvious that someone else must be standing behind them!"
"The one who created the machines in the shape of the Time-Keepers and controls them from the shadows is the true founder of the TVA, as well as the true enemy of all those Lokis."
When they heard the phrase "all those Lokis," the expressions of everyone in the live broadcast room became somewhat strange.
But the one most affected was, of course, Loki himself.
"Hmph! How can a group of temporal criminals from some remote corner of the multiverse possibly compare with me?"
Loki snorted contemptuously, and a trace of disdain could be heard in his voice.
"Even the one who was just pruned is a complete fool."
"He did not even check whether the enemy had been destroyed and immediately ran after a woman? Has that guy never seen a woman before? He has truly disgraced the name Loki."
"Ha-ha..."
Seeing Loki seriously condemn himself on the screen, Natasha Romanoff covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
This Loki truly possessed enormous pride.
He was afraid the others would laugh at him because of the scene from moments ago, so he began criticizing himself first.
That way, the others had nothing left to add.
Tony Stark secretly swallowed and suddenly felt slightly guilty.
When he saw the mechanical head of the Time-Keepers, Tony became somewhat worried that perhaps all of this had something to do with his version from a parallel universe.
After all, when it came to creating robots, if Tony was second on Earth, who would dare claim to be first?
Although creating something that controlled time sounded somewhat fantastical,
he was still Tony Stark!
Who would dare claim that Tony from some parallel universe could not master time through scientific means?
Tony looked at Loki and secretly shook his head.
This was somewhat troublesome. If the main enemy behind everything truly was himself from a parallel universe,
then this boastful liar could never win.
Strange continued:
"According to the information revealed so far, there is something similar to a restricted zone in the region where the TVA is located. Once you enter, all magic and superpowers may become unusable."
Loki fell silent and frowned.
Whether it was Frostmourne or the Stand, both belonged to the category of superpowers or magic.
In other words, if the TVA captured him, it would be the same as having everything taken away from him! What happened to the Loki on the screen could also happen to him.
Thinking of this, Loki coldly snorted in his heart.
If that was the case, then in the future he would kill everyone from the TVA the moment he encountered them, but he would never enter the TVA's territory itself.
Strange suddenly changed the direction of the conversation:
"But the TVA's weakness is also obvious, and that is science."
"According to the recording, those time guards are actually only a group of guards equipped with high-tech weapons."
"Even Loki, a little girl who was only a child at the time, managed to escape from them!"
Saying this, Strange looked at Tony Stark, and his voice suddenly rose:
"What I mean is, if Stark can shrink his battle suit and equip it with more powerful weapons, then even if he enters the TVA, he will still be able to fight!"
"That is right! Mr. Stark, you can definitely defeat all those time guards!"
Peter excitedly waved his hand, and his eyes were full of expectation as he looked at Tony.
At the same time, he felt enormous relief in his heart.
After all, after returning, Peter also planned to catch the thief who stole the money in order to change the future in which Uncle Ben died.
If the people from the TVA concluded that he had affected the original timeline by doing so, perhaps they would also come to his door.
However, Peter now already knew how to deal with those people!
"Ah, yes, you are right. Your Tony is definitely not afraid of any TVA."
Feeling the expectant gazes directed at him, Tony laughed several times, but suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
No way, right?
The person behind the TVA could not truly be him from some parallel universe, could it?
Just as Tony's heart was beating uneasily, Loki on the screen finally stopped running.
[Looking at the three variants of himself before him, Loki seemed to finally lose his patience and shouted:]
["Can someone explain to me what the hell is happening here?"]
[Looking at Classic Loki, Kid Loki, and Boastful Loki staring at him, Loki took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:]
["Listen, the past few days I have experienced have been truly very, very, very bad."]
["Or several months? I have no idea how much time has passed since the Battle of New York."]
[Loki's expression looked as though he had begun doubting the very meaning of life.]
["All I know is that I was pruned, and as soon as I woke up, I found myself in this place. Here is a group of temporal criminals who are the same as me, as well as an alligator!"]
["And the most absurd thing of all is that the existence of that alligator no longer even seems strange to me!"]
[Loki looked as though he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and shouted with his arms spread wide.]
["And now I am running away from some kind of ghost that I have no idea what it is, toward some damn place that I do not know where it is located!"]
["But what I truly need is a way to return to the TVA!"]
[Hearing Loki's voice becoming louder and louder, Kid Loki looked around and saw that the purple mist in the sky seemed to be drawing closer, causing him to flinch.]
[Kid Loki suddenly used magic and created a sword, pointed it toward Loki, and said in a quiet voice:]
["Stop shouting. You will bring Alioth here."]
[Loki was frightened by the suddenly created sword, stepped backward several times, and unconsciously fell to the ground.]
[He looked toward the sky: "Are you talking about that monster in the sky?"]
[Seeing this, Kid Loki sighed, removed the sword with magic, then extended his hand and helped Loki stand up.]
[Kid Loki spread his arms and gestured around them:]
["This place is the TVA's garbage dump."]
["Everything they prune ends up here."]
["Alioth ensures that all those things disappear completely."]
[Kid Loki pointed toward the purple mist in the sky.]
["That creature is a living storm capable of devouring all matter and energy."]
[Boastful Loki added:]
["The people from the TVA throw every person and object that affects the timeline here, and then that monster devours them."]
[Classic Loki said: "It is as though we are inside a shark tank, and Alioth is the shark."]
[Alligator Loki, who was lying on the ground, suddenly growled, obviously dissatisfied.]
[Classic Loki lowered his head to calm the crocodile, then raised his gaze again and said: "He is just as sensitive as the rest of us."]
["Wait a moment."]
[Loki looked in disbelief at the crocodile on the ground and the horned helmet on its head.]
["Is this guy also Loki?"]
[After receiving an affirmative answer, Loki closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as though his entire worldview had collapsed once again.]
[But he seemed to recover soon.]
["Fine, even that is not completely unacceptable, but why are there so many of you here?"]
[Classic Loki smiled: "Because Loki always survives. That is our strength."]
[Loki asked: "Then how can we escape?"]
["We cannot escape," Classic Loki calmly said.]
["The TVA captured all of us and then pruned us, exactly the same as you."]
[Loki still unwillingly asked: "But we could try using a TemPad to open a portal."]
["Yes, what a brilliant idea."]
[Boastful Loki exaggeratedly exclaimed.]
["Such things must surely be lying everywhere in the streets."]
[Hearing such sarcastic words, several Lokis quietly laughed.]
[Loki said dejectedly: "Then can we create a Nexus Event here?"]
[Boastful Loki looked at him as though he were mentally challenged.]
["The TVA does not care at all about what happens in this place."]
["But surely there is still something we can do?" Loki helplessly asked.]
["Of course there is," Classic Loki said in a deep voice. "Survive. That is the only thing we can do. It has always been that way, and it will continue to be that way!"]
