[The image continues.]
[At one moment, more than a dozen Lokis clashed inside the shelter.]
[Even Loki himself could only carefully avoid the attacks so that he would not be dragged into the fight.]
["For the glorious purpose!"]
[One Loki shouted and rushed toward them, but green light from Classic Loki knocked him to the ground.]
[Looking at the chaos before him, Classic Loki shook his head, clenched his right fist, and suddenly swung it!]
[Green light flashed. In the same instant, illusions of Classic Loki, Kid Loki, and even Alligator Loki appeared.]
["Phantom Kid Loki" threw Alligator Loki, whom he held in his arms, and he bit one of the enemies.]
["Phantom Classic Loki" continuously fired magical balls of light and struck several Lokis in the head with them.]
[Seeing that the enemies were completely occupied with the illusions he had summoned, Classic Loki waved to Loki and the others, then opened a portal beside himself.]
["Quickly, follow me."]
[Classic Loki, Kid Loki carrying Alligator Loki, and Loki passed through the portal and left the underground shelter that had turned into a battlefield.]
Kamar-Taj.
"Impossible! How are those illusions possible?"
Mordo's eyes opened wide as he stared at Loki's lifelike illusions on the screen, disbelief in his gaze.
Wong, who stood beside him, frowned at that moment, and his expression became extremely serious.
Those illusions did not only fight, they even cast spells!
Most unbelievably of all, those spells actually caused damage!
How could such powerful illusion magic exist in the world?
Looking at the screen, even in the Ancient One's always calm eyes, a barely noticeable change appeared.
"An illusion that has almost become reality? What an incredible sorcerer."
Nodding slightly, the Ancient One said with a sigh:
"That old man has reached the peak of illusion magic. If he takes only one more step, he will be able to break through the boundary between reality and illusion."
Break through the boundary between reality and illusion?
Mordo and Wong looked at each other and saw shock and horror in one another's eyes.
Did that not mean that he could turn an illusion into reality?
That was already the realm of altering reality.
"What powerful illusion."
In the live broadcast room, Loki's pupils also suddenly contracted, and his heart shook violently.
As a master of illusion magic, he could clearly see how powerful Classic Loki's magic was.
At that moment, Loki even felt proud.
It turned out that illusion magic, which other Asgardians despised or completely ignored, could still display such enormous power!
Just as Loki's heart was filled with excitement, the voices of the others sounded in the live broadcast room.
"Mr. Stark?"
Peter frowned and asked in confusion: "Why are all these Lokis fighting like this?"
"I feel as though all of them are somewhat..."
Peter, who felt uncomfortable continuing, stopped, but Tony merely smiled and finished the sentence for him:
"You think all those Lokis look like lunatics?"
"That is right."
After exchanging a glance with Strange beside him, Tony slowly said:
"Although these guys could be said to have deviated from the role that the TVA assigned to Loki, since they are all Loki, their personalities should be similar."
Strange continued:
"Such distrust of others and a tendency toward betrayal are probably also part of Loki's character."
"Are you not openly insulting him?"
As soon as little Wanda said this, she was met with Loki's furious gaze.
Tony said: "The matter is more complicated than that."
He extended his hand toward the screen:
"Do you remember that child king? In my opinion, that child was probably the first to discover the underground shelter, so he declared himself king there."
"He even made himself a throne!"
Strange thoughtfully listened to his words, then turned toward Loki:
"No wonder Classic Loki and Boastful Loki respect Kid Loki as a self-proclaimed king."
"The two of them probably arrived later, after which Kid Loki accepted them into his kingdom."
Natasha Romanoff thought briefly, then said in disbelief:
"A king? A throne?"
"Are these Lokis once again imitating life in Asgard?"
"Bingo!"
Tony Stark slightly raised his thumb toward Natasha Romanoff.
"Exactly!"
Peter turned his head and looked at Loki, who appeared somewhat embarrassed, then quietly sighed.
"Even after being exiled to the end of time, they did not forget their homeland. It seems that this is also one side of Loki."
[The image continues.]
["Damn it, what a group of beasts."]
[Classic Loki led Loki and the others out of the portal, then immediately shouted dejectedly:]
["We lie! We deceive! We kill everyone around us! And for what?"]
[A self-mocking smile appeared on Classic Loki's face:]
["For power! Magnificent power and glorious purposes!"]
["We will never change."]
["We are villains. Every Loki is the same! We will be like this forever! There is no salvation for us!"]
[Kid Loki also excitedly said:]
["And if any Loki wishes to abandon evil and walk the right path, the people from the TVA will send him here to wait for death!"]
Hearing this, almost everyone in the live broadcast room of the other world took a deep breath.
Now everything had been confirmed.
Although they had previously offered various assumptions and believed that the TVA had determined that Loki must remain evil forever, continuously experience failure, and so on, only now had they obtained true proof from Kid Loki's own mouth.
That was the predetermined fate of every Loki in the multiverse.
[The image continues.]
[Hearing the complaints of the other two Lokis, Loki quickly spread his hands and passionately said:]
["That is exactly why I must leave this place. If we do not bring down the TVA, we cannot change anything!"]
[Classic Loki turned around and asked: "Do you trust that female version of Loki?"]
[Loki seriously nodded.]
["She is the only person I trust, and now I think she is our only chance to destroy the TVA."]
[Kid Loki, who had lost his kingdom and was left with nothing, also changed his mind and nodded:]
["If this is an opportunity, then we must use it."]
[Seeing this, Classic Loki also agreed.]
["Fine, fine. Since you say so, we will help you."]
[But hesitation appeared on Classic Loki's face again: "However, approaching Alioth means certain death."]
["We can help you get close to it, but that is all we can do."]
[In other words, Classic Loki clearly made it known that he would not risk his life for Loki.]
[Then the three Lokis headed toward the place where Alioth was located.]
[On the way, Classic Loki asked: "Do you have some kind of plan?"]
[Loki spread his hands: "I will run into the mist and find its heart, brain, or something similar. And then I will, you know, destroy it."]
[Sensing the doubtful gazes of the two beside him, Loki defended himself:]
["Just because the plan is simple does not mean it is not feasible."]
[Kid Loki smiled bitterly: "But just because it is simple does not mean it is feasible either."]
[At that moment, Alligator Loki, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly opened his mouth and growled.]
[Seeing this, Loki quickly said as though grasping at a life-saving straw: "See, even your crocodile agrees with me."]
[Classic Loki sighed:]
["The crocodile is praying. He thinks we will all die soon."]
[At that moment, the device in Kid Loki's hands sounded.]
[It was a device made by one Loki.]
[Whenever the TVA pruned something large and sent it into the Void, that device would sound.]
[Soon, multicolored light flashed in the sky.]
[Immediately afterward, an enormous warship appeared from nowhere and suddenly fell to the ground.]
"173?"
Looking at the serial number on the warship, curiosity appeared in Stephen Strange's eyes.
"Is this the USS Eldridge, the ship that disappeared several decades ago in the legendary Philadelphia Experiment?"
"I did not expect that it had been pruned by the TVA."
Tony's expression also became serious.
Even such an enormous warship could be pruned and sent into another world. The power of the TVA was far greater than he had imagined.
[The enormous noise caused by the ship's fall quickly attracted Alioth.]
[Seeing Alioth rushing toward the ship, Loki nodded slightly.]
["That creature behaves like an ordinary animal and will first rush toward the largest prey."]
["While Alioth's attention is focused on the ship, we can sneak up behind it and find an opportunity to attack."]
[Faced with the terrifying purple monster that covered the sky, the sailors on the warship began operating the weapons in horror and frantically firing toward the monster in the sky.]
["Boom! Boom! Boom!"]
[Countless shells exploded inside the mist, but they had no effect at all.]
[In the next moment, the purple mist quickly covered the entire warship.]
[As soon as the mist touched them, the sailors instantly turned into skeletons.]
[Even the steel warship was corroded in an instant by the terrifying mist, turning it into a pile of scrap metal whose original shape could no longer be recognized.]
[Seeing Alioth's terrifying power, the confidence on Loki's face instantly disappeared. His earlier expression, as though victory was already in his hands, also completely vanished.]
[Instead, only endless horror and fear remained.]
["All right..."]
[Loki opened his eyes wide, swallowed heavily, then said:]
["Perhaps we should... um... perhaps we should think about it a little more. What do you think?"]
[Classic Loki and Kid Loki looked at each other, then both silently nodded.]
"What? You have already given up?"
In the live broadcast room of the other world, little Wanda disappointedly puffed out her cheeks:
"Where is your courage? Are you even a man?"
Loki opened his mouth and tried with all his strength to defend his version from another universe:
"This can only be called a strategic retreat."
"After all, they now understand the enemy better, so it was not completely meaningless."
Seeing the others looking at him strangely, Loki's voice became quieter and quieter until, in the end, he could no longer say anything.
Stephen Strange looked away and nodded slightly.
He gave up instantly.
He possesses an extremely strong survival instinct.
That should also be one of Loki's characteristics.
[The image continues.]
[Just as the three Lokis remained terrified by Alioth's power,]
[the sound of a car came from behind them.]
[It turned out that Mobius and Sylvie had followed Alioth all the way to that place.]
[Loki happily approached them, and when he saw Sylvie and Mobius, he became even more excited.]
["This is our child version, this is our future version, and this is our... um... alligator version."]
[Loki introduced the other three Lokis to Sylvie and Mobius.]
[Mobius speechlessly said: "In this place, you can throw a stone and hit some Loki."]
[Sylvie immediately got to the point: "Are you also following that enormous cloud monster?"]
[Loki said that he wanted to kill it, and Sylvie mockingly laughed at him.]
[Then Sylvie stated that the true master controlling the TVA from the shadows was located at the end of time, beyond the Void.]
[And Alioth was that master's guardian.]
[If she could enchant Alioth and take control of it, she would be able to find the passage and confront the final enemy.]
["Hahahaha."]
[Loki laughed loudly and said: "That is your plan?"]
[Sylvie mockingly replied: "It is better than your plan of slicing a cloud into pieces with one strike."]
[Loki, as though his dignity had been threatened, began arguing: "Listen carefully. I have been here longer than you and understand the situation better..."]
[But Sylvie did not listen to him at all and immediately made a decision:]
["I will enchant that monster!"]
[Loki was left speechless and in the end could only agree.]
"Aha, Mr. Stark, you were right!"
Seeing this, Peter shouted in surprise.
"Mhm."
Tony's expression at that moment was extremely calm.
Judging from what had just happened to the warship, the destructive power and speed of that mist were greater than he had expected.
Subduing it was definitely not so simple.
On the other side, little Wanda giggled again:
"Four grown men, yet in the end they still have to listen to one girl. Truly, hahaha..."
Hearing this, Natasha Romanoff unusually seriously said:
"Little girl, this has nothing to do with men and women. They decided to listen to Sylvie because only she possesses enchantment magic, and her plan sounds more reliable than Loki's."
Little Wanda angrily puffed out her cheeks and quietly muttered:
"In any case, Sylvie still has to defeat the monster alone in the end, right? Then what use are the other men?"
[The image continues.]
[Before the final battle began, everyone decided to rest first.]
[According to an unspoken agreement, Mobius and Classic Loki remained inside the house so that Loki and Sylvie could stay alone outside and enjoy some time alone.]
[After meeting again following a long separation, a certain distance inexplicably appeared between them, and for a while they could not find a topic to discuss. Therefore, they began talking about Mobius.]
[Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and Loki shivered.]
["It is somewhat cold."]
[Sylvie also nodded: "Yes, I am cold too."]
[Loki thought briefly, then stretched out his hand, created a blanket with magic, and wrapped it around himself.]
[Sylvie turned toward him and became completely speechless.]
[Noticing Sylvie's resentful gaze, Loki smiled and said: "I can make one for you too."]
[Sylvie helplessly looked at him and immediately changed the subject.]
["Since you want to make something, you could create new clothes for me. You have no idea how uncomfortable these clothes are."]
Seeing this, the live broadcast room briefly fell silent, then loud laughter echoed.
"Hahahaha..."
Natasha Romanoff bent over with laughter, and tears almost flowed from her eyes.
"Poor fool, did you not see the look in that girl's eyes? She wanted you to hug her and directly warm her."
Tony Stark looked at Loki with a trace of pity, as though observing someone who had not had a girlfriend for more than a thousand years and still understood nothing.
"Those old men deliberately gave you the chance to be alone, yet you only sat there wrapped in a blanket?"
"Even an elementary school student would know what should be done!"
"Have you never had a girlfriend in your life?"
