[Watching the purple clouds in the sky draw closer and closer, Kid Loki decisively said:]
["Enough talking, we are leaving. And as for you..."]
[He looked at Loki and said: "Are you coming?"]
[Seeing the three Lokis gradually moving away, Loki, who had remained alone, looked around, then still ran after them.]
[But after they had walked only a short distance, Loki once again could not restrain himself. He looked at the oldest among them, Classic Loki, and asked:]
["Why are you wearing a horned crown? And why do you obey that boy?"]
[Classic Loki looked back and said: "You must respect that child. He is a king. This is his kingdom."]
[A trace of suspicion appeared on Loki's face:]
["All right, Your Majesty. And what did you do that caused the TVA to prune you?"]
[Hearing the mocking tone in Loki's voice, Kid Loki approached with his head held high and coldly said:]
["I killed Thor."]
[As soon as he heard this, the mockery in Loki's eyes disappeared without a trace.]
Live chat group.
[Thor: What a joke! How could this child kill me? This boy must be lying!]
[Loki Odinson: Calm down, old man. You must remember that you and I are the same age!]
[Loki Odinson: In other words, the Thor killed by this boy, who was only a few years old, was probably also only a few years old himself.]
[Thor: Even if I were only a few years old, I would not die so easily.]
[Thor: Besides, when you were a child, you were much weaker than you are now. You did not even know how to use magic. Even if I stood still, I am afraid you would not be able to kill me, hahaha. o(*]
[Loki Odinson: ...]
[Natasha Romanoff: Thor, you must have been very strong since childhood.]
[Thor: Oh? How did you know? Of course I was! Haha...]
[Natasha Romanoff: No, I wanted to say that if you had not been so strong, you would have been beaten to death long ago.]
[Thor: ???]
[Peter Parker: Um, everyone, I actually have another question concerning Loki and Thor.]
[Peter Parker: According to our previous discussion, the role assigned to Loki by the TVA in the multiverse should be that of an evil liar.]
[Peter Parker: If he wants to become a good person and abandon evil, it will be considered that he has violated his "role," and he will be pruned.]
[Peter Parker: But killing his own brother Thor is evil no matter how you look at it. Then why was Kid Loki pruned precisely because of that?]
Hearing Peter's question, many people, including Loki, fell deep into thought.
[Stephen Strange: Well, this truly is interesting. Killing Thor really is a heinous crime. It does not seem to violate his role as a villain at all!]
[Thor: Wait, you mortals are discussing something extremely disrespectful.]
[Thor: With Loki's strength, it is impossible for him to kill me! Do you not understand such a simple truth?]
[Wanda Maximoff: No, if that is the case, is it possible that Kid Loki did something impossible and thereby violated his role?]
[Loki Odinson: What is that supposed to mean? Must Loki fail in everything he does?]
[Thor: Brother! Even if you failed to kill me, there is no shame in that.]
[Loki Odinson: Shut up, stupid brute! Do not talk nonsense. When I leave this place, you will be the first one I kill, and I will even scatter your ashes! o(▼m▼メ;)o]
[Thor: !!! Loki! You truly dare speak to me like that!!!]
Besides being furious, Loki also felt extremely depressed.
Why had so many of his variants in the multiverse been pruned?
Was it possible that his path through life had been so strictly "determined" that he was not allowed to deviate from it at all?
At that moment, Strange suddenly laughed in the chat group.
[Stephen Strange: Hahaha, well said, Wanda. You actually struck the core of the issue.]
[Wanda Maximoff: What? What did I say?]
[Stephen Strange: Do you still remember Sylvie, the female variant of Loki? What did she say to Loki on Lamentis-1 before the planets collided?]
[Peter Parker: Well, I am sorry, Mr. Strange. She said too many things at that time, and I cannot remember all of them.]
[Stephen Strange: It does not matter. I remember every word. In fact, I only wish I could forget them.]
[Tony Stark: You have a photographic memory? Strange, you have almost awakened my jealousy.]
[Stephen Strange: Haha. Sylvie said to Loki at that time: "What makes a Loki a Loki is that we are destined to lose!"]
[Loki Odinson: What?]
[Tony Stark: Now that you mention it, I remember too. In the previously shown recording about Thor, although Loki prepared many plans, every one of them ultimately failed.]
[Stephen Strange: Yes. He wanted to deceive Thor and make him remain on Earth forever. He failed! He wanted to kill Laufey, king of the Frost Giants, and thereby become a hero, but he failed! He wanted to destroy Jotunheim to prove that he was not a monster like a Frost Giant, but he failed at that too!]
[Loki Odinson: Hey, well said. You forgot one more thing. I wanted to obtain the acknowledgment of my father Odin, but after I failed, I voluntarily jumped into the abyss and attempted suicide! 凸(#目+)]
[Wanda Maximoff: What kind of fate is that?]
[Peter Parker: He is destined always to lose?]
[Stephen Strange: Loki's role is to continuously experience one failure after another throughout his entire life and never be permitted final success.]
[Stephen Strange: Therefore, in every conflict with Thor, he must lose!]
[Stephen Strange: Kid Loki from the Void not only defeated Thor but also successfully killed him!]
[Stephen Strange: Such success clearly violated his predetermined role! That is precisely why the TVA found and pruned him.]
[Thor: Man! What are you talking about? I am the older brother. Is it not completely natural that Loki cannot defeat me? What do you mean he cannot win because of some predetermined role? Are you looking down on me?]
[Loki Odinson: ... Come here!]
At that moment, Loki felt coldness from the depths of his heart instantly penetrate his heart and lungs! It was almost freezing to the bone!
At the same time, he was overwhelmed by an extremely strange feeling of terror, like a thunderbolt or the collapse of the sky itself.
In his memories, Loki had truly attempted many things.
For example, he wanted to surpass his brother Thor. Or he tried to gain the respect of Asgard's inhabitants.
But the final outcome was always disappointing.
Loki had previously believed that it might have been because of bad luck or his poor temperament.
But Strange's words now completely shattered Loki's worldview and simultaneously opened the door to an entirely new world for him.
As Loki, the God of Mischief, he was not only destined to be a villain but also a villain destined to fail.
Although Loki did not possess Strange's photographic memory, at that moment, as though possessed, he clearly recalled what Mobius had told him in the TVA projection room.
"Very interesting. A person like you believes he was born to be king, yet you continuously experience failure. Those failures will soon become an integral part of your life."
"Loki, you were not born to be king! You were born only to bring pain, suffering, and death."
"That is how it is now, how it was in the past, and how it will be in the future! That is your destiny."
"But precisely because of your failures, heroes like the Avengers can achieve their magnificent lives!"
"So failure is the role you assigned to me?"
Loki laughed mockingly, and his laughter was filled with insane rage and killing intent.
Who in the world could endure something like that?
At that moment, Loki made a decision.
If the TVA existed in his universe, he would do everything he could to uproot that organization and crush it into pieces!
Bastards, do you want to watch my failures? I will show you success!
Looking at Loki's face, the twitching of his muscles, his bulging veins, and his extreme rage, the others in the live broadcast rooms from other worlds mostly decided to remain silent.
In a situation like this, there truly was nothing more to say.
[The image continues.]
[Several Lokis reached a hill, and Classic Loki used magic to open a round iron door in the ground.]
[It turned out that there was a shelter beneath them.]
[At this moment, the camera began moving underground.]
[Following the camera, everyone saw a series of unbelievable things.]
[Was that Mjolnir?]
Looking at Mjolnir buried beside the roots of a tree, Loki, even while being extremely furious, unconsciously opened his eyes wide.
How could such a treasure simply be buried in the ground?
Loki soon saw something else, and his pupils suddenly narrowed to pinpoints.
In fact, besides Loki, everyone else also became agitated when they saw that thing.
"Wait, what is that? Am I seeing things?"
Peter Parker's eyes widened in horror, and he stared at the screen in disbelief as though he had seen a ghost.
Beside him, Stephen Strange also slightly opened his mouth, while a true storm rose in his heart.
[Directly beneath Mjolnir was a frog wearing a cloak extremely similar to Thor's, trapped inside a glass jar.]
[That frog was even wearing Thor's winged helmet on its head and desperately trying to jump out of the glass jar, but it could not escape.]
"Thor as a frog? What the hell is this?"
Tony Stark frowned deeply and almost raised his hand to rub his eyes.
But when he saw the expressions of the people around him and heard the successive exclamations of shock in the live broadcast room, he could be certain that he had not seen incorrectly.
"Turning Thor into a frog and sealing him inside a jar."
Little Wanda swallowed heavily and unconsciously turned toward Loki.
"Could you perhaps have done that in some universe?"
"This..."
Hearing this, black lines appeared on Loki's forehead.
At this moment, Thor also began making noise in the chat group.
[Thor: Loki, is this another one of your pranks? Turn me back immediately.]
[Loki Odinson: Idiot, what are you talking about? How could I possess such powerful magic? Think about it. During all the years we spent together, when did I ever truly turn you into a frog?]
[Thor: When we were children, you once turned me into a frog and said that you would throw me into the river.]
[Loki Odinson: That was an illusion, idiot! My illusion only made you look like a frog. Your size and strength did not change at all!]
[Thor: An illusion! Damn you, so you lied to me all these years.]
[Stephen Strange: Was it only an illusion? Truly incredible.]
[Karl Mordo: Oh, but the Thor we just saw in the frame was truly transformed into a frog by magic and then trapped inside a glass jar.]
[Karl Mordo: Who could use magic to forcibly affect the divine body of the God of Thunder and completely transform him? Could it perhaps be Mephisto from another world?]
[Stephen Strange: Mephisto? What is that?]
[Mordo: Stephen, for now, it is still too early for you to learn about him.]
[Tony Stark: I know nothing about Mephisto's magic, but according to what Loki said earlier, this Void is actually the TVA's garbage dump, and everything they prune ends up here.]
[Peter Parker: In other words, Frog Thor and Mjolnir beside him were also pruned by the TVA?]
[Loki Odinson: That is easy to understand. Turning Thor into a frog is such a major event that it would definitely drastically alter reality and cause the timeline to branch.]
[Wanda Maximoff: If that is the case, then many unbelievable treasures are hidden in this garbage dump.]
[Stephen Strange: Certainly. Do you remember? Casey, the TVA clerk, had a cart full of various Infinity Stones, and Hunter B-15 eventually pruned him together with them!]
[Stephen Strange: I assume they also ended up in this place.]
[Wanda Maximoff: Please, do you think everyone has a photographic memory like you?]
[Tony Stark: No, when it comes to the Infinity Stones, I remember that very clearly.]
[The image continues.]
[At this moment, several Lokis also entered the underground shelter.]
[Classic Loki looked at the last Loki to enter and quietly asked:]
["Speaking of which, why are you in such a hurry to return to the TVA?"]
