Chapter 447: Heading to the End of Time
Simply killing Kang's variant, or even the current "conqueror", will not do much in this crisis.
Kang's variants are endless, killing one will bring the other to the next.
Typical quality is not enough quantity.
Even if Oakes and Loki broke into the castle lord's residence and killed the conqueror, the next moment they came out, it was uncertain what would happen here.
But no matter what it becomes, it's always Kang's variant behind the scenes.
It's simply incomprehensible.
No matter how you think about it, there are only two ways to deal with Kang's threat.
The first, which was adopted by the Eternals before, was to start from the root and erase Kang's existence on the timeline.
But in this way, it is necessary to sacrifice the timeline where the first Kang variant is located, that is, the pre-sacred timeline.
A continuous looping timeline, a precise and efficient time mutation authority that cannot have a self-will, a myriad of clipped innocent branch timelines......
and an "eternal" who seems to be omniscient and omnipotent, but is in fact trapped at the end of time forever, always in control of the overall situation.
The advantage of this method is that as long as the Eternals are conscientious, there will generally be no problems.
The downside is that himself, and the entire sacred timeline, are actually prisoners of time.
And the second is to erase the person "Kang" on all timelines at the same time in a broad sense.
When each timeline is generated, the person "Kang" is not allowed to appear by the rules of the universe at all.
In this way, no matter how many branching timelines are generated, there will never be Kang.
Compared to the first method, which has already succeeded, the second method is more whimsical.
But since the first method was achieved by accident after the Eternals encountered the monster Elrios, then the second method may only be a way to achieve it for the time being?
How can you change the rules of the universe corresponding to the timeline so that it never allows Kang to appear?
"What are you thinking?"
Loki interrupted Oakes' thoughts.
He looked suspiciously at the pure white light in Oakes' hand:
"Even if you were able to use magic here, would it be necessary to stimulate me like this?
Or do you think your magic can solve this problem? β
He clenched the Eternal Spear and said in a deep voice:
"Don't be whimsical, even if it's Odin, in the face of an event of this level, there is nothing he can do!"
"Of course, brute force cracking is definitely not possible, there are runes that ban magic here, and I only have a way to slowly recover my strength because I am familiar with similar runes......"
After a long time, a smile curled into the corner of Oakes' mouth, and he put away the magic in his hand.
"I can't think of any way to stop Kang, one Kang is already so terrifying, countless Kang, how can we fight it?"
Loki grabbed his hair in annoyance, glanced at Gungnir in his hand, and tossed it back to Oakes:
"It doesn't work for me to carry it, it's no better than a normal dagger here."
"It's rare that you figured this out."
Oakes took the Eternal Spear, nodded, put it away, and instead took out two wooden daggers and handed them to Loki:
"Then this is for you, the branches of the World Tree are forged, and there is no problem in dealing with ordinary people."
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Loki's eyes twitched violently.
"You don't need to ask about the World Tree first, I think no matter what our next move is, we must first collect the information of the current Time and Space City."
Oakes raised his hand to stop Loki who was about to ask a question:
"Since you've given me wonderful information, I can tell you a few things in exchange.
First, I've been to other multiverses, and I can even open portals to travel through them.
Second, even if the Conqueror intends to use this as a base to conquer other alternate universes, he will first face his own variants, not us, and we will have a chance to find a solution.
Thirdly, the reality that I am in, there are people who are trying to locate my place.
Although this place is beyond time, if you look at it from the outside, this space-time city is located in a special area in the quantum realm-
You should know about the Avengers' planeswalking, which is based on the characteristics of the quantum realm independent of the multiverse.
So, even if we're here, the people I stay outside should be able to find me, it just takes time. β
"So, we have a chance to get out of here, return to your reality, and stop him before the war has even begun?"
Loki's eyes lit up, he had dreamed of going out of this ghost place, but he couldn't find a way out at all!
But then he was sluggish again:
"But Sylvie ......"
"That's right, your mutant girlfriend, or the void she's in now, is also the next target we need to find a way to go!"
A pure white light flashed in Oakes' eyes:
"I'm a biologist anyway, and I'm interested in the 'Elrios' that Kang put there......
If Kang is back here now, although he is no longer an 'Eternal' and has become a 'conqueror', the key factor Elrios should not change.
I want to meet this strange monster...... Kang was able to use it to isolate the timeline, and maybe we could do more with it! β
ββ¦β¦β
Loki had a "what the hell are you kidding me" look on his face.
Kang's kind of technology, is it on the same level as you?!
"Kang Ke is from the thirty-first century, and there is a gap between you and more than a thousand years of technology!"
Loki was almost laughed at by Oakes' "arrogance":
And he also learns from each other and complements each other with countless parallel universes, and he can even manipulate time......
Why do you think you can do it?! β
"As long as Elrios is a living being, I have confidence."
Oakes smiled slightly, raised his left hand, and on the displayed fist gauntlet, six dark Infinity Stones made Loki shut his mouth.
"After all, I've been in the universe several times, 'omniscient and omnipotent', and although the Infinity Stones can't be used here, the knowledge and experience they bring me will never be forgotten."
Loki was a little speechless for a moment.
Anyone who can collect all the Infinity Stones can't be counted by common sense.
"Okay, just gather intelligence...... I've collected a few of them, and here are how to get to the Void! β
Loki inexplicably gained some confidence in the guy in front of him:
"It's hard to do, though, unlike TVA...... In Time and Space City, there is only an existence of the rank of the Chancellor, and there is a time controller in his hand that leads there.
And that's almost one in TVA. β
"It would be nice if you already inquired."
Oakes stepped forward and grabbed Loki's shoulder.
As soon as Loki was about to subconsciously struggle, he suddenly felt a whirlwind in front of him, and then his vision went black, and a large white point of light appeared in front of him.
Some of these white spots of light are bright, some are dark, and each one has a different breath.
What's more, they're still moving!
"Since you've met the justice, you should be familiar with the other party's aura.
Feel the breath of these white dots in front of you, and tell me which one is the Chief Justiceβ
Although the TVA has become a space-time city, you should know that the people inside will not change. β
"Can it still be like this?"
Loki was an archmage himself, at least he couldn't do that anyway.
Open the perception map directly, it's a cheat!
Black sheep wallοΌοΌ
He froze and somewhat understood what Oakes meant when he said "my power is related to life."
"It's ...... Morbius! β
Soon, Loki locked onto a normal brightness among the many white points of light, which was his former friend, Agent Morbius.
"It can really be done! So Justice Losrael...... Got it! β
Loki locked onto one of the brightest white dots.
Around the white point of light, there were several much darker spots of light.
"Does this brightness represent strength?"
Loki touched his chin:
"Although Justice Losrael is good, he shouldn't be very strong."
This represents the strength of the breath of life, the brighter the point of light, the longer it exists, the stronger the breath of life, which is basically equal to ...... The longer you join here, the higher your status. β
Loki's eyes turned again, and his normal vision was restored, and Oakes' voice came.
"Alright, let's get over there."
A pure white portal was opened by him, and before Loki could react, Oakes kicked him in from behind and jumped in himself.
"Ahh
Loki pounced straight out of the portal and lay down in front of the bewildered Judge Lothrael.
"What......"
As soon as the guards beside her spoke, several thick spiked vines directly pierced them into strings.
The thickest of them instantly tied up the unresponsive Losrael into a rice dumpling.
"I haven't recovered yet, so I can only use primitive means......
Loki silently scrambled to his feet, his eyes twitching as he watched the astonishing lethality of Oakes' "primitive methods".
How strong was this guy in his heyday?!
"That's it, right? Time controller? β
Oakes reached out and removed a cane-like thing from Justice Losrael, who had stopped struggling.
"That's right, it's the ...... You killed them? β
Loki's face was a little complicated, although he had killed an unknown number of people, but he thought it was all a last resort.
"How could it be, they didn't offend me...... These look terrifying, but they just inject them with some quick-acting lethargic ingredients. β
Oakes fiddled with the time controller in his hand, and its tip lit up.
"How do you use this thing?"
"Aim that glowing part at yourself, point it down, and you can be 'cut' -
Essentially, they are transported to the Void where Elrios is located, where nothing is done will result in associated events or a new timeline. β
"Good."
Oakes pointed a stick at Loki, who did not resist and allowed himself to disappear.
"Hmm...... It seems that he is not lying. β
Oakes put away the time controller and waved his hand to open the portal:
"But I won't use this."
He stepped into the portal and appeared next to a bewildered Loki!
The ruined earth, the dark sky, this is the end of time, the place where the timeline has not yet arisen-
Void!
