[The image continues.]
[Kang slowly said:]
["I encountered a creature. It was born from all the cracks and fissures in reality itself. It could devour time and space."]
["That creature is very familiar to all of you."]
[Loki quietly said: "Alioth."]
["Bingo!"]
[As he spoke, Kang's expression gradually became ugly:]
["I studied the power of that Beast, experimented with it, and ultimately turned it into a weapon."]
["Then I relied on that completely new weapon to end the multiversal war."]
["After isolating the timeline of my universe from the others, I began controlling the flow of time to prevent new branches from appearing on my timeline."]
["That is precisely why I founded the TVA!"]
[Kang climbed onto the desk in a burst of excitement.]
["Then the Time-Keepers appeared, and the universe enjoyed peace that has already lasted for several eras!"]
["So..."]
[Kang crouched on the table and spread his arms with a smile.]
["You are welcome for everything I have done."]
[The expressions of the two Lokis stiffened, and they sat there without speaking.]
[A strange smile appeared on Kang's face.]
["You came here to fight my demon, did you not?"]
["But guess what? It is precisely my existence that protects your safety."]
[Kang's expression suddenly became somewhat dejected.]
["If you think I am evil... Wow, that is only because you have not yet met my variants."]
[Loki and Sylvie looked at each other and remained silent.]
[Seeing this, Kang suddenly laughed again.]
["Simply put, all of this is a gamble."]
["Do you want to preserve suffocating order, or do you want to unleash destructive chaos?"]
["You may hate dictators, but without someone like me, the outcome could be even worse."]
[Looking at Sylvie, Kang said: "I have lived millions of lives. I have experienced every possible variation."]
["Founding the TVA is the only way."]
[Kang suddenly exhaled deeply. "The TVA truly works."]
Seeing this, the live broadcast room of the other world briefly fell silent, after which a commotion erupted.
"What a joke! This guy has done so many evil things, and now he dares pretend to be a saint."
Little Wanda angrily stomped her foot on the floor and said:
"How many people have they declared temporal criminals over all these years, thrown into the Void, and then allowed Alioth to devour?"
"Does he think all of that was right?"
Stephen Strange seriously said: "I do not think he is saying it was right. He is only claiming that there was no other way."
"A necessary evil? Hmph, such an excuse for justifying one's own actions is truly nothing new."
Tony Stark contemptuously shook his head, then immediately changed the subject.
"Compared with that, I am more interested in the other information this Kang revealed."
"He isolated the timeline?" Loki thoughtfully said.
"That is right!"
Tony Stark was full of energy and freely presented his analysis:
"Now we can be completely certain that this guy did not merge the entire multiverse."
"All he could do was somehow isolate his own timeline from the other universes in the multiverse."
"And to achieve that, he had to keep that timeline completely unique. No new branches could be allowed to appear, because otherwise that system would collapse!"
"Why?"
Peter Parker did not understand what he was hearing:
"What does a new branch of the timeline have to do with the multiverse?"
Tony thoughtfully touched his chin.
"It is possible that Kang is afraid that after the timeline branches, additional variants of himself will begin appearing in the newly created universes."
"Or his method of isolating the Sacred Timeline of this universe has certain limitations."
"If time continues branching and creating new universes, the Sacred Timeline will completely collapse, and the other evil Kang variants will notice this universe again."
"Hmph!"
Loki sneered mockingly.
"He is so frightened and cautious, like a dog that has lost its master, yet he still dares claim that he ended the multiversal war?"
Stephen Strange thoughtfully said:
"Yes, it seems that this is another one of his lies."
"If the multiversal war truly happened, then this Kang was definitely not the victor. It is even possible that the war has not yet ended!"
"Kang only did something similar to Classic Loki. He found a remote corner and then isolated himself and his universe!"
"All those evil Kang variants in the multiverse may still be alive!"
Hearing this, everyone in the live broadcast room of the other world suddenly became frightened and deeply shaken.
The power over time displayed by the man on the screen was already enough to cause fear.
Thinking about how many such figures might be causing chaos throughout the rest of the multiverse truly made it impossible for people to remain calm.
"In other words..."
Tony Stark thoughtfully said:
"The reason Kang founded the TVA was his fear of the multiversal war, or rather, of his own evil variants."
"He wanted to ensure the safety of this independent Sacred Timeline, which was not involved in the conflicts, as much as possible! That is why he uses the people of the TVA without hesitation to prune timeline branches that could harm it!"
Hearing this, everyone silently nodded inwardly. At the same time, they became even more cautious.
The multiverse could truly bring danger!
No one knew how many cruel and evil Kangs were outside, wishing to conquer and destroy other universes.
[The image continues.]
[At that moment, Sylvie accused Kang of being a liar. Loki believed that he should no longer continue pruning unfortunate timeline branches.]
[Faced with the accusations of the two of them, Kang laughed and immediately revealed his final cards.]
["This will give both of you a headache."]
["What?"]
[Confusion appeared on the faces of the two Lokis.]
["Now you have two choices."]
[Kang excitedly snapped his fingers.]
["The first choice: you kill me and destroy everything I have built. Then you will have to face countless Kangs who are far more vicious than I am!"]
["Or..." A relieved smile appeared on Kang's face.]
["From now on, the two of you will control all of this. Managing the TVA, the branches of the timeline, and everything else will be left to you."]
[Hearing that he was handing the entire timeline over to them, Loki showed no excitement on his face, but coldly asked:]
["You are lying."]
["Tell us the truth. Why are you giving up power?"]
[It seemed that Loki had struck his sore spot, so the smile on Kang's face disappeared. In the end, he helplessly sighed.]
["My friend, I am tired. And I am old."]
["I am much older than I look."]
[After he spoke those words, Kang's playful aura suddenly disappeared, leaving only endless exhaustion.]
["The game I am playing is not suitable for old men. It requires young people filled with hunger and desire."]
["In order to find a suitable successor, I examined countless possibilities."]
["But I never expected that the most suitable successor would actually not be one person, but two."]
[Kang extended his hands and pointed toward Sylvie and Loki.]
["The two of you."]
["So that is how things stand."]
[After completely revealing his intentions, a calm and wise expression appeared on Kang's face.]
["If you kill me, the Sacred Timeline will completely lose its protection. The result will be a multiversal war."]
["Or you can take my place, take over the TVA, and become more merciful rulers than I was."]
["You can reveal to the TVA employees who they truly were and the true meaning of their work. Everything depends on you."]
[Looking at the indifferent smile on Kang's face, Sylvie coldly said:]
["You treat other people's lives as some kind of game that you can play with however you want."]
[Kang helplessly said:]
["I did not do it because I enjoyed it. To protect the Sacred Timeline, this was the most effective method."]
[Sylvie gritted her teeth. "But you hurt me!"]
[At that moment, Kang seemed to completely lose his patience and shouted at Sylvie:]
["Grow up, Sylvie!"]
["Murderer! Hypocrite! Do you think any of the three of us here is a good person?"]
["All of us have done terrible, horrible things."]
["But now..."]
[Kang forced himself to become serious.]
["You have the opportunity to do something good."]
Seeing this, Peter Parker asked somewhat confusedly:
"What is Kang trying to say? Why is he unconditionally giving up power and handing it over to two enemies?"
Tony Stark coldly said:
"Very simple. Maintaining a single Sacred Timeline is not something an ordinary person can do. It requires wisdom, courage, resourcefulness, and endless patience!"
"That old man has been doing this for who knows how long and probably cannot continue anymore."
"So he has completely exhausted himself?"
Stephen Strange nodded slightly.
Even if his physical body could exist almost forever, his spirit and will still had limits.
Loki sneered mockingly again at that moment.
"That is why he went to such great lengths to find two Lokis who could overcome countless difficulties and obstacles and reach the end of time to face him!"
"In the entire universe, probably no one before them had ever managed to pressure the TVA and Kang so much!"
Hearing Loki evaluate himself so highly, it was surprising that no one in the live broadcast room of the other world contradicted him.
After all, the magnificent adventures of Loki and Sylvie, filled with ups and downs, had left a deep impression on everyone.
Even Tony Stark, who was extremely confident, had to admit that if he imagined himself in Loki's or Sylvie's place, he would have had difficulty doing better than them.
At that moment, Peter Parker suddenly asked:
"Mr. Loki, if you were in the place of the Loki on the screen, would you accept the offer?"
Before Loki could open his mouth, Tony's laughter sounded.
"Does that even need to be asked? When such a great opportunity appears before Loki, how could he refuse it?"
"Hmph!"
As though Tony had struck the truth, Loki angrily looked at him. But he soon composed his expression and openly said:
"Regardless of whether we kill this Kang or not, countless Kangs still exist in the multiverse."
"Instead of taking a risk and allowing who knows what terrifying monsters to begin watching our universe, it would be better to take over the TVA and completely transform that organization. Turn it into a force for good."
"A force for good?"
Listening to Loki shamelessly speak such nonsense, little Wanda could almost feel black lines appearing on her forehead, and the way she looked at him changed.
"You truly need to improve your lying skills. When you say something like that, do you really expect anyone to believe you?"
"Do not underestimate human stupidity."
Stephen Strange looked at Loki in astonishment, but still said:
"Now I finally understand why President Loki exists. It would be best if someone like Loki, who is full of lies and so good at deceiving people, never appeared in the United States. Otherwise, he might truly become president."
[The image continues.]
[While trying to persuade the two Lokis, the expression on Kang's face suddenly changed.]
[Then he nervously said: "For some unknown reason, from this moment onward, I can no longer see what will happen."]
[At the same time, outside the castle, the Sacred Timeline that surrounded the entire end of time began to branch.]
[It seemed that even that Sacred Timeline had begun creating a new multiverse!]
[Faced with Kang's complete revelation, Loki asked:]
["So that is it? You will simply sit calmly and allow us to decide your fate?"]
[Kang openly said that the two Lokis could either take his place or kill him with one strike and then face countless Kangs who would arrive from the multiverse.]
["Even if you kill me, in the end I will return here again."]
[Kang spread his arms and helplessly said: "That is called reincarnation!"]
[Sylvie believed that he was still using tricks, while Kang responded by removing the time-control device from his hand and saying that he no longer had any protection and was no different from an ordinary man.]
[While the device capable of controlling time lay on the table, Kang seemed to greatly enjoy that feeling of complete helplessness.]
["Wow! I like this honesty."]
["It feels like a new beginning."]
[Seeing that the enemy had removed all protection, Sylvie silently drew her sword and rushed forward.]
[Loki instantly stood up to stop her and grabbed her shoulder.]
[Seeing that her enemy was right before her eyes, Sylvie could no longer control her rage. She turned around and pressed the edge of her sword against Loki's neck.]
["What are you doing?" Sylvie shouted.]
["Wait."]
[Loki extended his hand, grabbed Sylvie's right wrist with which she held the sword, and quietly said:]
["We need to talk first."]
