Chapter 445: The Remnant and the Conqueror

The Time Variation Authority, or "TVA" for short, is a huge bureaucracy.

It is dedicated to overseeing, adjusting, and ultimately balancing the vast timeline of a multiverse with infinite variables.

Legend has it that it was created by three "Time Keepers" whose job it was to discard the abandoned timeline and try to prevent the time paradox from happening.

They also monitor the core to prevent their recklessness from creating a chaotic timeline.

But after being captured by the TVA in the timeline confusion caused by Loki's space gem, he goes through a series of events and also encounters a variant of himself, Sylvie, who has been regarded as a space-time criminal since childhood.

Under the joint investigation of the two of them, the truth that TVA has been hiding all along, is revealed to them.

The so-called Time Mutation Authority, as well as the three Time Guardians, and even their mission, are outright lies.

First of all, the Time Mutation Authority, does have the power to travel through time and space at will, but the Time Guardian does not exist-

They're just robots made by the people behind the scenes to be used as cards.

TVA travels through time and space, modifies the timeline, and relies on the power of future technology-

A man from the 31st century Earth, known as the "Remnants", created the TVA.

According to Loki's conversations with him, he claims to be the scientist who discovered the parallel universe with technology in that era, but at the same time, his variants of the parallel universe have discovered each other.

Therefore, they created a way to connect with the parallel universe themselves, using the technology of each universe in the 31st century to complement each other's strengths, and soon broke away from the normal technology tree of human beings.

However, not all versions of him are satisfied with the progress of knowledge.

For some, the only meaning of the existence of the parallel universe as a new world is to be conquered by themselves.

So, naturally, what started as peaceful coexistence quickly turned into a full-blown and tragic war.

Cosmic level war.

Each variant is fighting for its own cosmic survival while destroying the others.

Oakes, who has experienced the parallel universe collision incident, knows very well that this is a cruel and tragic scene in the multiverse.

The entire multiverse is almost doomed.

The afterglow of the destruction of countless universes, even in the infinite multiverse, is the brilliance that illuminates the dark void.

However, things are not without a turn for the better.

The first of their variants, the one who came to be known as the "Legacy Man", encountered a creature condensed from real-life grief.

It is capable of self-devouring time and space, and is known as "Elrios".

Using their own technology, the remnants harnessed Elrios' power and experimented with it, turning it into their own weapon.

A weapon to put an end to this terrible multiverse war.

He even isolated the timeline he was in from the chaos of the multiverse!

No matter what you look like, I can always run away with my hometown!

But those who remain know very well that once their timeline spawns the multiverse again, then there will inevitably be new variants of their own.

When the time comes, another multiverse war will start again, and whether he can win this time is unknown.

So, he decided to put an end to the possibility of that happening.

His solution was to create the "Time Variation Authority".

He extracts various human variants from various times, erases their memories, and convinces them that both he and the TVA were created by the Time Keepers, and also builds robots to act as Time Keepers.

The mission given to the TVA by the Remnant is to cut and delete all the branched timelines that he knows to have derived for various reasons, so that only one timeline always exists.

In addition to technology, the remnants are just ordinary people, who can't do magic and have no abilities.

In order to ensure that this timeline is always in control, and he is able to control everything above all the world-destroying individuals, the remnants think of a solution.

The flow of time is presented in the form of a Möbius ring, just as Tony's time travel model does.

It's not that hard, because since the timeline can be separated, the Remnants have already done everything Tony has done.

Oakes even guessed that in the original timeline, the remnants were able to control the timeline based on the time travel theory left by Tony, combined with the wisdom of the multiverse!

The Remnants succeeded.

He succeeded in turning the timeline into a continuous loop, which he called -

"Sacred Timeline".

The TVA's job is to maintain the normal flow of the sacred timeline at all times, using the time technology provided by the Remnants, to ensure that it repeats itself over and over again.

The remnants have been looped millions of times in this sacred timeline.

He experienced every time and place in the sacred timeline, what happened to each person, and even the content of their conversations, millions of times.

It's like a movie is playing on a loop, a few minutes and seconds, what scenes, what actions of the actors, and what lines, he knows it clearly.

In this imprisoned timeline, he is the deserved, all-knowing and all-powerful God.

And the flow of time in the TVA is completely different from reality.

To be precise, TVA is built in a place that transcends the real-world concept of time.

Here, there is a past, a present, and a future at the same time.

This is also the representative meaning of the three "time keepers" created by the remnants.

So, although the remnant has gone through millions of sacred timelines for countless years, he will not age-

Because for him, the concept of "time" does not exist.

Perhaps he could be called the "Eternal."

Claiming to be the master of time, or the gardener of time, he cuts out the branches of time that are considered dangerous, turning reality into a bloodless meadow.

In layman's terms, it is enclosure self-sprouting.

The TVA has been maintained for countless years, so that the real universe has avoided experiencing multiverse wars at the cost of losing freedom and possibility, and in the reincarnation of countless established trajectories.

Loki's fate, he's watched countless times.

Even, the Avengers of the 616 universe are time traveling and reversing infinity, which is also an established script.

This made Oakes even more sure of his thoughts.

Without this reversal of infinite time travel, Tony of Universe 616 would not have perfected the theory of continuous time, thus creating a safe and controllable means of time travel.

In the future, this "Eternal" and "Remnant" may not be able to obtain the technology of time travel to create a sacred timeline!

"But your presence apparently disrupted the sacred timeline, so they arrested you, but I didn't expect you to cause more and more commotion, did you?"

Through Loki's narration, Oakes basically clarified the situation of TVA.

really made Tony guess that there are indeed such careerists in the future, and "Eternal" is the one who has the last laugh among his countless variants.

But what is going on with himself?

If the way the TVA handled it, he should have created a branching timeline when he first crossed his soul, and thus was arrested as a time criminal.

If so many of the existing multiverses are part of the sacred timeline, wouldn't that mean that everything about himself is also known to the "Eternals"?

Did he come here by himself and in his hands?!

"The 'clipped' timelines don't go away, the TVA just moves them to a place called the 'Void' and causes them to stop evolving and collide with each other to destroy them."

Loki stroked the body of Gungnir's spear and shook his head:

"Eventually, their remains will be devoured by the 'Elrios', a monster that devours time and matter, and will truly disappear.

I was also 'cut' into the Void, and there, I encountered four variants of me—

It was with their help that Sylvie and I were able to possess Elrios, reach the castle at the end of time, meet the 'Remnants', and ......"

Loki's eyes were complicated:

"The remnant says he's tired, and Sylvie and I were able to get to him because of his calculations, and he wanted the two of us to take charge of the TVA instead of him.

But Sylvie refused, and killed the remnants. ”

"What?!"

Oakes was really surprised.

Is this Sylvie, the female Loki that everyone likes to see, so rigid?

And this remnant is an old-fashioned guy.

When you are impatient with life, you will think about fancy ways to find death.

However, the sacred timeline is maintained by the remnant, the "Eternal", if he dies......

"That's right."

Loki saw Oakes' thoughtful look and knew that the other party also had a deep understanding of time:

"From that moment on, the divine timeline branched off into countless branching streams of time, resulting in countless parallel universes......

And because in the Void and TVA, the concept of time is very special, so you may have experienced a different time than me for decades or ten years, but for me, your universe may have branched out with Sylvie's knife not long ago. ”

“…… So I should thank you. ”

Oakes sighed, and he understood this.

Time between timelines is not synchronized, as he had discovered on his previous multiverse travels.

However, the emergence of the multiverse, or reappearance, was started by the female Loki, which he never expected.

"You don't seem to doubt what I'm saying."

Loki raised an eyebrow:

"To be honest, I'm still a little unaccustomed to being trusted like this."

"Because I know you well enough, and because my abilities are related to life—

You don't have magic now, you're just an ordinary person, and I can still sense if you're lying. ”

Oakes' statement made Loki purse his lips and look serious:

"So since you can tell that I'm telling the truth, you should be aware of the other thing?"

"Yes."

Oakes sighed:

"The symbol of the TVA, the three statues of the Guardian of Time, I haven't seen before......

And the person corresponding to that statue should be another variant of the dead 'Remnant'. ”

"That's right."

Loki nodded heavily:

"The TVA is not the one I knew before, it's now called 'Time and Space City', and its lord no longer needs to hide his existence with a robot puppet."

"He's called 'Kang', but he prefers to be called by others—

'Conqueror'! ”
