Chapter 312: The Conqueror: Meeting
"Do you see what's coming?"
Standing at the site of the latest murder, Morbius looked at Loki expectantly.
"See what?" Loki looked up and looked at Morbius in confusion.
"My bad, I mean, do you have any suggestions? Out of knowledge of yourself. Morbius changed his tune and asked again.
"No, I don't have any opinion. I don't know what the other one I want to do, I don't know what he wants to do, how can I give you advice? Loki shook his head.
"Well, it seems that it is useless again." When Morbius heard this, he was a little disappointed.
"You can control the time, so why not go back to the moment it happened? I mean, go back to the time when the man was committing the murder. Loki was a little puzzled. With this powerful ability, do you need someone to help solve the case? Shouldn't you just look at the timeline and show it to you in every detail, just like watching a movie?
Can't do it?
Obviously, that mage is very slippery at this point.
"I need to correct you, we don't have time in hand. We're just maintaining and fixing time to get it moving on the timeline it should be.
As for why we can't go back to what happened before the incident, the associated events will lead to the instability of the time flow, which will make the branch constantly change, and any slight unexpected factor will lead to completely uncontrollable accidents. If you don't want more damage and bad things to happen, you can only deal with them after the event and the timeline is more stable. ”
Morbius gave a candid answer to Loki's question.
"Then you don't have any intelligence information about him? Can't you follow his whereabouts in the timeline? Loki was still a little confused.
"We couldn't find him. Do you understand? Can't find him! I asked you for help just so that you could help me find him. He was cunning and didn't know how he avoided the observation of time. "Mobius was a little angry.
"Then it seems that you are not as strong as I thought, really inferior." Loki pouted. This is not as good as the current Heimdall, at least the other party, with the support of Odin and Luke's armament, can not only see everything and people that happened in the universe, but also be able to go back in time and observe the past events that have happened for a period of time and still have memories in the universe.
"We're never strong, it's the Time Keepers who are strong. They are the masters of the Time Authority. Morbius was not angry at Loki's complaints, and while ordering the abnormal time here to be cut out with a resetter, he smiled and stepped into the open door of time.
The Time Resetter is a piece of equipment used by the Time Authority to control time variables and clip affected areas on branching timelines, allowing time to heal itself and follow the original script of the sacred timeline.
"I want to look up some information, and I can only help you more if I know more." Loki stepped in as well, chasing Morbius back to the halls of the Time Authority, trotting two steps alongside him, demanding.
"I can give you this permission, but you have to understand that if you can't prove your worth, then you have to be reset.
According to the movie, if the sacred timeline is a movie with a beginning and an end, then eradicating you is equivalent to cutting you out of the movie. You don't exist in time, and naturally you don't exist in movies. Except in our and the Authority's databases, no one in your universe will remember you, and there will be no trace of your existence. Morbius paused and looked at Loki cautiously.
"I know. Also, remember to return my things, I don't feel comfortable wearing this dress at all. Loki's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively.
"Give him his stuff." Morbius waved his hand at the Time Guard and pointed at Loki Road.
"Thank you very much." Loki bowed gracefully.
"You'd better show your worth, otherwise, I won't be able to help you." Morbius patted Loki on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
Loki, who had retrieved his belongings, couldn't wait to rummage through his pockets, remembering that he had a lot of good stuff on him.
But all that came back was his clothes and a windproof iron lighter.
"What about my other things?" Loki looked at Morbius.
"Something is not time for you to take it back yet. After all, Raphna trusts you almost none. I've done everything I could. Morbius smiled apologetically at Loki, took his coffee, touched his sparse hairline, and sat back in his place.
Loki clenched his fist in anger and punched the air, and then reluctantly went to the data room. Of course, he wasn't as angry as he appeared, at least he had a lighter in his hand, didn't he?
A lighter that he pulled out of Luke's treasure room.
No matter what its use is, according to the level of Luke's treasure room, what can be stored in it is at least an artifact-level equipment, right?
Just like Odin's treasure room, only treasures that can be seen and have treasure value will be put in by Odin.
Loki was going to find out what this lighter was up to now, and maybe he would have to rely on it to escape.
Of course, he did not intend to use lighters within the Authority without knowing anything about their effectiveness.
……
Loki, who had browsed the case files for two days and two nights in the archives, seemed to have made a major discovery and found Morbius, who was in a hurry to carry out his mission.
"I found that guy." Loki sat down in the chair across from Morbius' table and looked at him with burning eyes.
Morbius, who heard Loki's words, immediately became solemn with a somewhat annoyed expression, and he stood up from his seat abruptly and looked at Loki.
"You found it?" He asked in surprise.
"To be exact, I found out how he hid from you. But as long as you know how he hides from you, it will not be difficult to find him out. Loki smirked.
"Are you sure?" Morbius was incredulous.
"Listen, the reason you can't find her is because she's hidden in the doomsday timeline. Associated events arise because someone did what they should have done, triggering a series of uncontrollable chain reactions. If you do a lot of redundant, far-reaching things, will it lead to a new branch of the timeline appearing?
For example, I, Loki, I went back to the destruction of Asgard and did a bunch of mess, would that affect the original timeline?
No! Because Ragnarok will still come as promised, and it will destroy and destroy everything. The mess I do, the actions that could trigger new branching out of the timeline, will be buried with Ragnarok, and everything will follow the sacred timeline. So in your time observations, everything is normal!
Because what should have happened happened. There were no surprises. There will be no timeline changes that you will capture. And when this timeline is erased, no new timeline branches will appear. Can you understand? Loki tried to explain to Morbius, trying to make him understand.
"You're talking about a possibility, but how can we be sure?" Morbius looked at Loki.
"An experiment, it's easy for you, isn't it?" Loki smiled at Morbius.
Morbius immediately approached the judge and applied to her for an experiment. Judge Raphna didn't trust Loki, thinking he was talking gibberish, but Morbius's pleas got her to approve the experiment.
Morbius and Loki find a node in the timeline before the apocalypse, and then use the time portal to travel through it, and make a crazy fuss at that node.
But when the disaster came, Morbius was surprised to find that everything was just as Loki said, and the timeline they observed had not had time to branch and change, and the time in the area was erased.
Everything works fine.
……
Morbius organized a team resolutely, and after ruling out one possibility after another, he locked a point in time according to the law of Loki's actions and chased after him.
This time, they were the closest they were to the perpetrators.
Loki even met another version of himself, a female version of himself. He wanted to figure out Logie's purpose and tried to form an alliance with her.
One thing to say, the more he knows about the Time Authority, the more Loki wants to take it into his own hands, although it can't compare to the behemoth of the Energy Bank, it naturally has its power. It's really not good, and it would be a good deal to package and sell all the equipment and technology here to Luke.
It's a pity that his wooing was rejected by the other party without hesitation, and Rogie opened a door of time in front of him, and after playfully saying goodbye to him, he jumped in.
At the same time, the time reset device that Rocky had placed in the timeline and scavenged from the time guards she had attacked was activated at the same time, completely shaking the stable sacred timeline into turmoil.
Countless time branches spread and climbed with the time reset, making the entire time management completely chaotic because of it.
Loki gritted his teeth and jumped in before the light gate was gone.
Arriving at the Time Authority, Rogie followed the memories she had tortured from the brains of those Time Guardians and rushed towards her destination. Loki, who came with her front and back feet, saw her running wildly, and immediately followed.
The running Loki duo soon caused a commotion and pursuit, and they were eventually stopped by Judge Raphna and his men before they could reach their destination.
Magic was disabled within the Time Authority, and a desperate Rockie had no choice but to reactivate the time teleporter in her hand and disappear from the Time Authority before being captured.
"What are you doing here?" Rockie, who fell from the ceiling to the ground, looked at Loki who fell with her and yelled.
"You're taking me hostage, can't you warn me when you open the door, or push me out?" Loki stood up from the ground with bared teeth, his eyes seeing the time portal that had fallen not far from the ground. Rogie's eyes followed him, falling on the time teleporter.
The two looked at each other, and almost simultaneously acted, grabbing at the time teleporter, and there was even a little fist and kick clash in between.
But Loki was embarrassed to find that he couldn't beat the female version of himself. The time portal also fell into her hands.
"Goodbye." Rocky held the teleporter in his hand and waved his hand at Loki, who he kicked aside.
"Wait." Loki subconsciously took out a lighter and held it high.
"A lighter? Have fun on your own. Rogie shrugged her shoulders and activated the time teleporter.
Loki was ruthless, and used the lighter in his hand with a crisp sound of metal lifting and rubbing. He didn't know what this lighter was for, he took it out and used it, it was just an impotent rage in a hurry.
The transparent flames flickered up, and the magic in Loki's body frantically surged to the lighter in his hand, this small small object, like a bottomless black hole, greedily swept and devoured his magic.
A strange force field centered on Loki spread endlessly around it, and in the blink of an eye, it had spread out thousands of meters away.
Within the force field, everything was still, floating dust, swimming wind, creaking sounds, shaking ground, and Rogie standing outside the light gate, raising her feet to step into it.
The only person on the field who can move is Loki, who has a lighter in his hand.
However, Loki is not feeling good now, the magic in his body is flying fast, decreasing at an unbelievable speed, which makes him have to hurry up and quickly step forward to snatch the time teleporter from Loki's hand.
There was another crisp metal crash. The transparent flames and the strange force field disappeared as the lighter's windproof cover closed.
The flow of time returned to normal.
Loki heard the sound again, and felt the ground tremble, and an oncoming fist.
"What did you do? Give it back! Rocky almost made a fork when she returned to normal, and she was surprised to find that the time portal in front of her had disappeared, and she didn't even know what happened to the teleporter in her hand to Loki's hand. She immediately reacted with great speed and punched Loki in the face.
Caught off guard, Loki fell to his knees, and then felt a body press against him, and the fingers holding the teleporter were forcefully broken, snatching the teleporter from his hand.
"This time I'm really going to say goodbye." Rogie smiled and activated the teleporter again. But the next moment, the smile on her face disappeared. She looked at the teleporter as if it had failed, and the hand holding it shook violently a few times before restarting.
There was still silence.
No light gate appears.
"What the hell did you do?" Rocky angrily looked at Loki on the ground!
PS: Thank you for the tips from the two classmates who used the new nickname.
