In the otherworldly live streaming room.
"Are these guys Loki too?"
Loki's gaze flickered at the sight of the broken horn crowns worn on the heads of the old man and the child.
To be honest, after seeing the female Loki, he was mentally prepared for other Lokis to appear on the screen as well.
But soon, Loki's eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible!
For, he saw the alligator in the boy's arms was actually wearing Loki's trademark horned crown!
"Are you kidding? Is this alligator... a Loki?"
Loki's eyes were wide and round. As he stared at the alligator on screen, his jaw dropped, and he felt the urge to scream.
He could accept the fact that there was an old man version, a woman version, or a child version of himself in the Multiverse.
But the animal version of Loki... that was too much.
Young Wanda pointed to the alligator in the video and giggled...
"Look! That alligator also has Loki's crown on its head."
"What?"
Peter stared at the screen in disbelief, and his mouth opened...
"Hahaha ..."
Tony didn't give Loki any respect either. He just held his belly and laughed his head off.
"Damn you!"
While Loki was embarrassed, he gritted his teeth and simply felt like his whole body was being publicly tortured ...
The big screen in front of them suddenly went dark.
Immediately afterwards, the system's voice sounded.
[Ding! Loki has used up his 100 live broadcast points for this round. Do you need to continue?]
[If so, you will need to add live broadcast points.]
"What? There's an extra charge for this?"
Looking at the string of text that appeared on screen along with the sound, the several people in the live stream room froze.
Loki shouted...
"Go on, of course. I still have 100 live broadcast points. Use them all!"
Since entering the live stream room, Loki had answered three questions correctly.
For the first question, he won Frostmourne; for the second one, he awakened Frostmourne's skills, and for the third one, he won the stand, the World.
Moreover, he also got 300 live broadcast points and used them for two on-demand video broadcasts.
Now Loki was down to these last 100 live broadcast points.
But at the moment, he hardly hesitated.
After all, he had to compete with others for these so-called on-demand videos.
This time, he was lucky enough to get it before Tony and Wanda, but next time...
If he failed to get on the queue next time, when would he get to see the subsequent videos?
So, Loki decided to seize this opportunity and see as much of the future as possible.
Soon, the sound of the system rang out again!
[Ding! Loki Odinson used up 100 live broadcast points! Start broadcasting future videos.]
[Ding! Video starting!]
[A new image appeared on the screen.]
[In the middle of nowhere, Loki looked at the few weirdos in front of him and nervously asked...]
["What is this place? Where are we? Who are you?"]
[The elderly Loki, wearing a pointy-horned helmet on his head, walked up to Loki and spoke with some urgency...]
["This is the Void. That's Alioth. And we're his lunch. Come on!"]
[Loki was a little overwhelmed by the series of rapid words and instinctively looked back.]
[He saw the overwhelming blackish-purple fog, like an avalanche, sweeping down at an alarming rate.]
[And in this fog, there was actually a faint sound of horrific roaring, as if there was some kind of monster roaring in the fog.]
[Just after Loki followed the three weirdos and fled in disarray, a beast's head appeared in the fog.]
[All that could be seen was a scarlet glow in the creature's eyes and a largemouth. Purple lightning was flashing in the mist behind it.]
["Roar!"]
[Suddenly, the horrible monster opened its mouth and gave a scalp-tingling roar!]
"Holy shit, what the hell is this?"
"A fog monster? How could that thing be real?"
"Is this place ... seriously not hell?"
Watching the monster that seemed to fill the sky, most of the people in the live streaming room looked dumbfounded.
Tony and Strange looked at each other. They could both see the horror in each other's eyes.
Loki's eyebrows were tightly knitted at the moment. An ominous thought welled up in his heart.
He clearly saw that among the three weirdos just now, the black man had a strange hammer in his hand.
Out of some instinct, Loki was almost certain that this hammer was, in all probability, Mjolnir from some parallel universe!
And if that's true, then this Loki could lift the hammer!
But even with such power, the three Lokis were still desperately fleeing.
Thus, the fog monster ... Alioth, was something much more terrible than he could imagine.
Looking at the appearance of several Loki running for their lives on screen, Peter scratched his head in a bit of distress.
"My head is spinning..."
"What on earth is going on with the TVA?"
Strange calmly said...
"Let me sort it out. First of all, the Time-Keepers are robots. So it's clear that there's another mastermind behind all of them."
"The man who created the robot dolls and manipulated things behind the scenes is the Time Variance Authority's real founder, which means Loki's real enemy."
Hearing the word "Lokis", the looks on everyone in the live stream room looked a bit strange.
But it was Loki himself who bore the brunt of it.
"Humph! How can a bunch of Variants who popped up from some corner of the Multiverse compare to me?"
Loki snorted coldly, showing a hint of disdain in his tone.
"The one that just got pruned is equally as silly as they are."
"Running after a woman without even checking to see if the enemy has been eliminated? Hasn't this guy seen a woman before? What a disgrace to the Loki name."
"Haha ..."
Looking at Loki's righteous accusation against his screen self, Natasha covered her mouth and chuckled.
'This Loki sure has a big ego.'
'Was he afraid of people laughing and ridiculing him, so he came out first and denounced that 'self'?'
'That way, the others wouldn't have anything else to say.'
Tony secretly swallowed back his words, suddenly feeling a bit at a loss.
When he saw the mechanical head of the Time-Keeper, Tony was a little worried ... 'Could this matter have something to do with a parallel self?'
After all, if it were about building robots, Tony would always be the best.
Although creating time manipulation devices and all that sounded a bit magical...
But ... He's Tony Stark!
Who would think that in a parallel universe, Tony could create something to control time by scientific means, as something unbelievable?
Tony glanced at Loki and secretly shook his head.
'If the big boss behind it was really a parallel universe me ... this is going to be a problem.'
'There's no way this boastful liar can win'.
Strange continued...
"From what has been revealed so far, it appears that within the realm where Time Variance Authority is located, there's something similar to a no-magic barrier. Once inside, any magic or superpowers might be unusable."
Loki listened in silence, his brow tightly furrowed.
Both Frostmourne and the Stand fall within the realm of superpowers or magic.
In other words, if the Time Variance Authority caught him, everything would vanish! What was happening to those Loki on-screen would happen to him.
Thinking of that, Loki secretly snorted.
In that case, if he saw these Time Variance Authority people in the future, he should kill them on sight. He must never enter the Time Variance Authority's domain.
Strange's words took a sudden turn...
"But the weakness of the Time Variance Authority is also obvious. It's science."
"From the video, those Minutemen are, in fact, just a group of guards equipped with high tech weapons."
"Even the female Loki, who was only a child at the beginning, could escape from them!"
Speaking of that, Strange looked at Tony, and his tone was suddenly high...
"I mean ... if Stark can make his battle suit smaller and equip it with some more powerful weapons, he would be able to fight in the TVA's domain, just the same!"
"Yeah! Mr Stark, I'm sure you can smash those Minutemen out of the park!"
Peter waved his hand excitedly and looked at Tony with expectation in his eyes.
At the same time, he was extremely thankful in his heart.
After all, after Peter went back, he was also going to catch the thief who stole that money to change Uncle Ben's future.
If those people in the Time Variance Authority thought that he had changed the timeline, they might come looking for him.
But now Peter had figured out what to do if these people came!
"Ah, well, you're right, I ... am not afraid of some Time Variance Authority! "
Feeling the expectant gazes of the crowd, Tony awkwardly chuckled a few times, suddenly feeling a little weak inside.
'Really?'
'The boss of that Time Variance Authority couldn't be a parallel universe me, could it?'
Just as Tony's mind was wandering, the Lokis on-screen finally stopped running.
[Looking at those three 'selves' ahead, Loki seemed to have lost his patience and shouted...]
["Will someone, please explain to me what the hell is going on?"]
[Looking at the old Loki, the child Loki, and the black Loki staring at him, Loki took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down...]
["Look, it's been a very, very, very trying past few days."]
["Or a few months? I don't even know how long it's been since New York."]
[Loki's expression looked like someone who was doubting his life.]
["All I know is, I got pruned and woke up here. And now, I'm surrounded by Variants of myself, plus an alligator!"]
["Which sadly I didn't find all that strange!"]
[Loki seemed to be having a little meltdown. He opened his arms wide and shouted...]
["And now we're running from God knows what, to God knows where!"]
["But I need to be trying to find a way back to the TVA!"]
[Listening to Loki's voice growing louder and louder, young Loki glanced back, only to be horrified by the sight of the purple fog in the air that seemed a little closer.]
[Young Loki suddenly conjured a sword, pointed at Loki and whispered...
["Stop wailing, or you'll signal Alioth!"]
[Loki was shocked by the sudden appearance of the sword and involuntarily fell to the ground.]
[He looked at the sky, "You mean the monster in the sky?"]
[Seeing that, young Loki sighed, hid his sword with magic, and reached out to pull Loki up from the ground.]
[Young Loki opened his arms and pointed in all directions...]
["This is the place where the TVA dumps its rubbish."]
["Everything they prune."]
["And Alioth, he ensures none of it ever returns."]
[Young Loki pointed to the purple fog in the sky.]
["It's a living tempest that consumes matter and energy."]
[Black Loki interjected...]
["They send entire branched realities here, that are devoured in an instant--"]
[Old Loki added, "We're in a shark tank. Alioth is the shark."]
[Loki, the alligator, lying on the ground, suddenly gave a low growl, seemingly displeased.]
[Old Loki looked down to reassure the alligator. He looked up and said, "He's overly sensitive like the rest of us."]
["Hang on."]
[Loki looked at the alligator on the ground with an incredulous look on his face and noticed the helmet on the alligator's head.]
["That thing's a Loki too?"]
[When he got an affirmative answer, Loki closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if his whole worldview had been turned upside down once again.]
[But he seemed to recover quickly.]
["Okay, fine. Willing to accept that. Why are there so many of you?"]
[Old Loki laughed, "Because Lokis survive. That's just what we do."]
[Loki asked, "Great. So how do we escape?"]
"We don't." Old Loki calmly answered.]
["All of us were arrested by the TVA and pruned, just like you."]
[Loki asked, still undeterred, "But have you thought of using a TemPad?"]
["Oh, the one thing that could get us out of here, yes."]
[Black Loki said with an exaggerated expression.]
["They're all over the place, right, guys?"]
[Hearing such sarcastic words, the several Lokis laughed.]
[Loki spoke with some exasperation, "Fine ... what about causing a nexus event?"]
[Loki, the black man, looked at him like he was mentally ill.]
["The TVA doesn't care what happens here."]
["But surely there's something to do?" Loki helplessly asked.]
["There is." Old Loki spoke with a heavy tone, "Survive. That's all there is. All there ever was."]
