Scott Long suddenly realized, "Yes! Time Variance Authority can save them, or rather, they can arrest them, so the correct choice for this question should be A, right?"
Nick Fury shook his head and said, "No, it was mentioned in the video that Sylvie had been hiding in various timelines to evade Time Variance Authority. This indicates that Time Variance Authority struggles with supervising periods like apocalypse worlds."
What he said made sense, Scott Long sighed regretfully, "So, they still can't escape?"
Tony Stark rubbed his chin with his fingers and pondered, "Nick is right, but there is still an issue. If we treat these future videos as a movie, TV series, or novel then the two of them are the male and female protagonists, and Time Variance Authority is the antagonist. And so far, they've only uncovered part of the Time Variance Authority's mysteries. So they still can't die. Furthermore, I remember that the Time Variance Authority monitors each timeline to create Nexus events, trimming redundant timeline branches. Nexus events often result from time violations. When Loki stole the Cosmic Cube, it triggered a Nexus alarm directly. Now the two Lokis appear to be in love. This is an unexpected development that doesn't align with the future set by the sacred timeline.
Hence, I'm certain that even though Time Variance Authority won't locate them immediately, once they fall in love, a Nexus alert will undoubtedly arise. This will enable them to track them down. As demonstrated multiple times in the videos!"
Loki sneered, "You're quite cautious. In any case, I'll choose A for this question. The reason isn't as complex as you suggest—Loki will fail, but he won't die and this is the truth!"
"Really?" Tony Stark quipped, holding his neck. "It won't end like this?"
Loki, somewhat irritated, suddenly thought of something and he challenged, "Tony Stark, do you have the guts to make a bet with me?"
Tony Stark smiled, "Why should I bet with you?"
"Why, are you scared? looks like you only know how to use your mouth"
Tony Stark took the bait and grinned, " There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do. Fine, I'll bet you can not survive Thanos without help!"
"Very well, let's bet 50 points!" Loki tilted his head, "I spotted something interesting in the points store—a contract. If we sign a contract with each other, it can't be broken!"
Tony Stark crossed his arms and snorted, "You sure came prepared. But do you even have 50 points?"
He's been on team missions with Peter Parker, accumulating many points. Among players, he's considered wealthy, much more than Loki.
Loki smiled, "If I win this game, I'll manage. Don't worry."
"Quite the narcissist. If you lose, you'll lose all your points!" Tony Stark waved his hand. "Now, answer the question."
At this point, the light curtain started a countdown for the answer. Since it's a binary choice, with a 50% chance, everyone's eager to respond.
This time, the lucky one to answer was Tony Stark. Without hesitation, he chose A directly.
Loki followed suit and chose A. Nick Fury hesitated, eventually trusting Tony Stark's analysis and picking A.
Scott Lang, with Hank Pym, went for A as well. The five players reached a consensus on the answer.
The correct answer was revealed, and it was A!
[Congratulations to player Tony Stark for the correct answer, earning 4 points. Players Loki Laufeyson, Nick Fury, Hank Pym, and Scott Long answered correctly, each earning 1 point]
Scott Lang shrugged, "This question wasn't tough. After watching the video for so long, we only got 1 point. It Feels a little weird."
Loki glanced at him, "Don't worry, there might be challenges ahead."
In Peter Quill's last round as a new player, he also faced a watch-first-answer-later question. A video presented several questions, catching them off guard.
Naturally, Loki was prepared mentally in advance.
Now, the video of the correct answer started playing on the light curtain.
The video naturally continued from the previous segment. As Loki and Sylvie held hands, smiling at each other, the Time Variance Authority headquarters seemed to return to normal.
The female agent remarked, "No matter where they escape, survival is unlikely!"
Mobius countered, "Don't underestimate them!"
At this point, they both noticed that on the monitor, the restored sacred timeline had once again changed. A highly conspicuous branch emerged out of thin air, extending outward!
Mobius exclaimed, "Well, this is quite a significant disruption. Have you ever seen such a branch?"
The female agent shook her head, "Never before!"
The camera returned to the two Lokis, calmly embracing the end of the world. Suddenly, two portals opened behind them, and Time Variance Authority successfully tracked them via that branch.
Before the world's end, they were captured and taken back to Time Variance Authority headquarters!
"See, just as I predicted!" Tony Stark snapped his fingers.
Nick Fury frowned and stated, "It seems the upheaval caused by Sylvie didn't prove fatal for Time Variance Authority... They swiftly contained the chaos."
Hank Pym added, "Sylvie's plan was intercepted by Loki. She likely didn't anticipate losing her extraordinary abilities at Time Variance Authority headquarters. If she had followed her original plan, it might have caused chaos by interfering with the sacred timeline. She aimed to infiltrate Time Variance Authority headquarters and overthrow it completely, but she failed."
Tony Stark looked at Loki, raising an eyebrow. "You've got self-love and self-restraint. This drama is truly intriguing!"
Even more intriguing events are yet to come.
Following Loki's arrest, he encountered Agent Mobius, exposing the Time Variance Authority's deception directly to him. However, Mobius had lost trust in him and couldn't believe his words.
He was promptly sent to a cyclical timeline as punishment.
This cycle timeline was once a prank by Loki. He snipped off Valkyrie Sif's hair, only for Sif to retaliate with a lesson.
A swift left uppercut, a knee strike—right on target!
Loki knelt on the ground, clutching his groin...
Before he could recover, the scene replayed, and Sieve reappeared.
