Time Variation Authority?

Somehow, Chen Sheng's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of the mysterious black-robed woman he had met twice in the Primordial Stone No. 1 universe.

The other party is not only proficient in the way of time and space travel, hiding in the branch time stream, but also once held a strange small instrument, which can magically cut people out of time, that kind of strange experience, even Chen Sheng almost caught the other party's way.

Add to that the Infinity Gauntlet and those Infinity Stones, and it's clear that there's something weird and abnormal about it.

"What do you mean by the Time Mutation Authority?"

He asked.

"Binding and maintaining the unity of the sacred timeline."

Loki's voice was not fast, but his tone was very firm, and he seemed to say it without thinking.

"The secret of the multiverse cycle is that no matter what we do, entropy will always increase."

"What did you just mention? Entropy increase? ”

Dr. Banner interjected suddenly.

"That's right. Dr. Banner, but not the simple law of energy you think, entropy increase is more complex than anyone thinks, but it's also simple. ”

Loki glanced at the other party and said slowly.

"As long as the universe exists, entropy will inevitably increase... Energy, magic, everything, even just breathing, will imperceptibly increase the entropy of the universe..."

"In a sense, Thanos was right when he said that this universe can't withstand the demands of too much life, just like life can't support too much heavy exertion, and if you cross that line, destruction will accelerate..."

Everyone's expressions were a little wrong, especially Thor's expression became ugly after hearing Thanos.

"Loki! What the hell are you talking nonsense! ”

With his brain, he couldn't immediately comprehend what Loki was saying that sounded crazy, he just thought it was ridiculous.

"Thor, calm down and listen to him."

Tony Stark was silent for a moment, but stared sharply at Loki to hear what else he could say.

"Uh... Can anyone tell me what entropy increase means? ”

Colonel Rhodes looked hesitant and confused.

Not only him, but the rest of the Avengers, except for Tony Stark and Dr. Banner, had no idea what Loki meant by negative entropy.

"The Second Law of Thermodynamics."

Tony Stark glanced at his old friend.

"'Entropy' is one of the parameters of the state of matter, and its physical meaning is a measure of the degree of chaos in the system, which is the basic development law of the universe in a theory - all things in the universe have a tendency to spontaneously become more chaotic, and the entropy will continue to increase.

"But strictly speaking, this process should be extremely long, we can't wait for that time, and it is impossible to see the day when the universe will be destroyed, whether there will be heat death no one knows, even if it happens, this is the natural law of the universe, everything has a day of destruction, right? But what does it have to do with Thanos' frenzied human interference? ”

Tony Stark questioned Loki.

"I seriously suspect that you are talking nonsense."

"Hehe..."

Loki wasn't flustered at all, he looked at Stark and smiled.

"So, how limited is the vision of human beings, Stark, even you, in the time and space of the infinite universe, there are very few people who can really get out of this perspective."

The latter frowned suddenly.

"What do you mean by that?"

“... Because of magic. ”

Athena suddenly spoke, as if she had no brains.

"Magic?"

Several others looked at her.

"I think Athena may be talking about not just magic, but the laws of the universe, which are not suitable for some of the so-called laws that we humans have summed up before."

Chen Sheng suddenly spoke slowly.

"This world. There is a supernatural force. ”

He stared at Loki in front of him and continued.

"Loki just mentioned magic, and magic is just a representation of that. It expresses the way the energy of the world works, more than the science of our human civilization imagines. ”

"If even breathing causes the entropy of the universe to increase, what about nuclear weapons? What about a more powerful force than nuclear weapons? The universe is endless, but infinity is only relative, in fact, just a few Infinity Stones can cause a huge amount of energy release, even enough to wipe out half of the life in the universe, if you want to follow Loki's theory... How much entropy will be emitted by such an earth-shattering cosmic event? ”

Tony Stark froze.

With his brain, he naturally quickly figured out what Chen Sheng and Athena meant.

Yes, entropy increase is indeed an almost infinite and long process in the eyes of human beings, and the seemingly endless universe also has a lifespan, which is in line with the development of natural laws, but the problem is that there is a thinking inertia in this, and it can even be said to be a thinking trap, so that even Tony Stark ignored the problem of this trap for the first time.

That is the perspective of such a view, but from the perspective of human beings, a civilization that has not even entered the starry sky.

But in fact, it was only in recent years that it was widely discovered that humans are not alone in the universe, and humans and the earth are nothing at all, such as Thanos, who easily beat them, even with the help of those who also have supernatural abilities, the Infinity Primordial Stone and magic testers like Thor, etc., they are still defeated completely and without suspense.

And after Thanos got those terrifying primordial stones, not only could he destroy half of the lives of the universe, but those few primordial stones could probably do more, because even if such a horrific event was caused, the power of those gems could not be exhausted, if Thanos didn't self-destruct these stones to each other, what else could these stones be used to destroy the universe?

Tony suddenly felt a little terrified in his heart.

Under the premise that these 'unreasonable' things exist in the universe, will entropy increase and heat death really exist as an incomparably long-term process as human imagination is?

Seeing that even Tony Stark was stunned, and his expression seemed a little ugly, and several other Avengers also felt their hearts sink.

"I know it's hard to believe, but I don't mean anything to speak for Thanos."

Loki seemed to have expected this reaction earlier, but he said anyway.

"Because Thanos is just an ignorant person, he just happened to have the idea of destroying half of the life in the universe by mistake at a certain point in time, and he thinks that he is destined to save the universe? But in reality, this idea has only a small connection with the creation of 'saving the universe', yes, only a little. ”

As he spoke, Loki seemed to scoff, as if he was a little disdainful of Thanos.

"Because in fact, whether it is destroying half of the life in the universe to maintain balance, or forcibly cutting out all the branches of time and destroying them for the sake of the convergence and unity of the multiverse, like the Time Mutation Authority, these things are almost the same in origin and meaning, and they are all concepts that treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Even for the final result, it is just a struggle of 'useless work'. ”

Loki said the last sentence, looking a little lonely.

“... Are you saying that the Time Mutation Authority is something that specializes in tailoring the branches of time to prevent the creation of an infinite split in the multiverse? ”

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right. Have you seen the existence of your Epochal Time Mutation Authority? ”

Loki's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Chen Sheng, as if he had an astonishing keen intuition.

Everyone couldn't help but look back and forth between Loki and Chen Sheng, especially Steve, Natasha, and Stark, the three Avengers who had met Chen Sheng before, and the emotions in the hearts of the three were a little complicated.

Chen Sheng still has a certain degree of credibility for them, which is also due to the natural trust of the other party and Strange Yuan, although it is not much, they will not feel that Chen Sheng can find an inexplicable fake Loki from somewhere to deliberately perform this scene for them here, it is meaningless.

Although they feel from the bottom of their hearts that what they have heard so far is too crazy, as the elite of human civilization, they still have the ability to judge truth and lies.

Tony and Steve, in particular, the former senses a huge mental trap about entropy increase, and the latter... Steve: He felt a little inexplicably heavy at the moment.

Although he didn't know much about science or magic, he had always trusted his own judgment and intuition.

This feeling also brought him to the modern society across nearly a century, and no matter what kind of difficulties and hardships he encountered, he never disobeyed his heart.

And right now, the feeling in his heart was faintly telling him that everything that this Loki said in front of him had a high probability of being true.

Although the other party has not yet come up with further substantive evidence, but the feeling is the feeling, by observing the other party's tone, behavior, the dialogue and reaction of everyone present, as well as Steve's own subconscious judgment and intuition in the dark, it is like he has run on the battlefield countless times in the rain of bullets, a bullet is flying head-on, his eyes can't even see the trajectory of the ballistics clearly, but he can follow the instinctive feeling to dodge this attack sideways in an instant, these things are impossible to completely describe in words.

Although Loki had never been associated with 'trustworthiness' in the hearts of everyone present, Chen Sheng's appearance made all this completely different.

"You said you were from the next cosmic era, so you came to me on purpose, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Chen Sheng looked at Loki and asked.

"Tell me about your purpose."
