Chapter 313 Loki Steps Out of Time

This sigh was accompanied by a sigh.

The whole world seemed to have been paused; everyone's actions and expressions froze for a moment.

Even the black tide that seemed to want to annihilate the world and drag the entire world into the embrace of death froze in place.

Followed by.

Time begins to flow backward.

The hands that were about to strangle their lover left the soft neck;

The stick that had knocked him unconscious was now lodged in his fragile head;

Those who had lost their attachment to life in the face of death were rekindled with their desire to live;

The exploding natural gas was extinguished one by one by the backflash of the flames and returned to the pipes.

Those heads, blasted apart by bullets, have become perfectly intact under the power of time; even the bullets that were fired have returned to the chamber one by one.

The person who committed suicide returned to the state before their suicide.

Even the wave of black death that started in Manhattan and swept across New York began to flow backward under the great power of time reversal.

"Snapped!"

Just as the tide of death shrank back to Stark Tower, a crisp snap of fingers suddenly rang out in this reversal of time.

With that snap of the fingers.

That rewinding time was paused once again.

But during this pause, a green figure, seemingly unbound by time, appeared on the rooftop of Stark Tower with his hands behind his back.

Loki looked at the ropes still wrapped around his body, his face showing a hint of panic.

The green figure that had just appeared crossed its left arm across its chest, supporting its right elbow, then rested its right hand on its chin, scrutinizing Loki before it and asking, "Did I look that pathetic back then?"

As he spoke, he seemed to fall into a long memory and became slightly silent.

If you look closely.

You'll find out.

The newly appeared green figure was wearing the same green magic robe as Loki, and even their faces were almost identical.

Or.

They are all Loki.

The only difference.

The figure with a terrified expression, trying to slip away, looked rather immature, while the other Loki, who had just appeared, had an undisguised air of world-weariness in his eyes.

The weathered Loki pulled out a delicate little dagger, casually cut the ropes and restraints binding Loki, and even thoughtfully straightened his collar.

"It looks much better this way."

After straightening the collar of the younger Loki, the more weathered Loki seemed to be missing something. He took a step back and glanced around.

When he saw the Cosmic Cube placed on a table next to him, his eyes lit up.

"That's right, this is it."

Followed by.

The Tesseract was picked up by the weathered Loki and then placed in the hands of the younger Loki.

That's about right.

Loki, seemingly quite satisfied with the result, smiled and snapped his fingers.

next moment.

Time, which had been stagnant, began to flow backward once again.

The weathered Loki, meanwhile, traversed the reverse flow of time, arriving at the moment when the wave of death erupted.

The moment Loki stepped out of time.

Time stood still once again.

That forbidden time, in Loki's eyes at this moment, was like a toy that could be controlled at will, so casual, so obedient.

Loki, emerging from the void of time, arrived at the center of the battlefield. He watched Thor, his body crackling with electricity, wielding the eternal spear "Gungnir," charging towards the impending wave of death in the center of the battlefield, seemingly trying to stop something.

A look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

With this lingering sense of nostalgia, a weathered Loki walked up to Thor, then smiled and delivered a powerful punch to Thor's face.

"Bang!"

The punch landed squarely, sending Thor staggering.

A look of indescribable expression crossed the weathered face of Loki.

There was a sense of satisfaction that came true, a joy of reunion after a long separation, and an indescribable complexity.

"It's been so many years, and I didn't expect you to still be as reckless as ever! Thor, consider this punch a reminder. Hmm, to be honest, this punch felt much worse than I expected..."

After delivering the punch, the weathered Loki, with an uncontrollable upward curve to his lips, spoke these words. However, only he himself knew what he was truly thinking at that moment.

But just then...

In this otherwise stagnant moment, a second voice rang out.

"Thor may be a bit reckless, but this time he wants to save the world. As for you, Loki, is it really okay to beat your own brother like this during this pause in time?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this sudden sound, the weathered Loki turned his head slightly and saw Arryn, whose body was swaying slightly, not far away.

It's unclear whether Erin's resistance to time freezing stemmed from her previous experience of escaping from frozen time, or whether the power of the time freezing that Gu Yi unleashed hadn't completely dissipated.

In short.

This time.

Arlin was fortunate enough to escape the power of time freezing.

In the emptiness of time, I awoke.

Of course, this is only a part of it.

Staring at Arlin's body, still frozen in mid-air, his face slightly shifting as he observed for a moment, Loki seemed to understand something and chuckled, "This is just a little game we play to strengthen our brotherhood. Why don't you join in?"

Arryn, still suspended in mid-air, did not answer Loki's question. Instead, he stared thoughtfully at the frozen space-time and Loki, whose aura was many times stronger than before, and fell silent.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Just as Loki, who had frozen this spacetime, was getting a little impatient.

Suddenly, Arlin uttered a word that greatly surprised Loki.

"Time Management Bureau?"

"Huh!"

Loki said with slight surprise, "You actually knew? Interesting. That explains why I came all this way to find you."

"Looking for me?"

"Of course? Otherwise, why do you think I would have stepped in to save you this time?"

As he spoke, Loki glanced at the impending tide of death not far away and continued, "Since you still possess the power of the Time Stone, you must remember the cataclysmic event that just occurred. If I hadn't intervened, this city would already be a death city, a forbidden zone for living beings."

"Could you survive such a disaster? Of course... Even if you survive, would your family and friends in this city survive?"

Loki finished speaking.

Under the influence of the residual power of the Time Stone, Arryn, whose mind "remembered" the time before Loki's rewind, fell silent for a moment.

Loki is right.

Even Erin wasn't entirely confident of surviving the death tide that had just erupted from the twisted shadow's self-sacrifice.

Not to mention the others who were swept up by the tide of death.

If Loki hadn't traveled back in time, even if Arryn had been able to be reborn using the Twins ability, his loss would have been enormous.

From this perspective, Loki did indeed save himself.

Seeing that Arryn seemed to agree with him, Loki continued, "Since you acknowledge these things, let's make a deal like last time! Lord Arryn, who once impersonated the lineage of the Sorcerer Supreme."

Arlin wasn't surprised at all that Loki had revealed his true identity in the role he had played.

After all, if the guy in front of him really is the Loki who returned from the Time Bureau, having already mastered a portion of the power of time, it wouldn't be difficult for him to figure this out.

Arlin, without denying Loki's words, asked directly, "A trade? Tell me about it?"

"How about I use the favor I did for you this time to save my mother, Fricka's, life in that future disaster, and change her destiny?"

Upon hearing Loki's address to Fricka, Erin looked at Loki thoughtfully and said, "For you now, changing Fricka's fate shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Even time reversal and time stop are now possible.

Loki uses the Time Bureau's machines to travel back to before Queen Fricka's death and save her. How many difficulties will there be?

Unexpectedly, Loki fell silent as soon as Arlin finished speaking.

After a long while, Loki let out a cold laugh.

"For someone like you whose fate is uncertain, this may not be difficult, but for me, it is different. After gaining my current power, I have tried many times. Even though I saved my mother from those filthy dark elves, she will still die for various reasons in the near future, as if her fate was already determined at that moment."

"I tried countless times to change all of this, but all my efforts were in vain, until I discovered your special qualities!"

Loki pointed to the twisted shadow in the distance that was about to unleash a tide of death, and said, "This time I can save you, and even help you deal with this abomination, but you, Hiyori, must also save my mother and change her fate of death. Do you agree to this deal?"

Looking at the distorted shadow Loki was pointing at, Erin spoke with unusual decisiveness about his plans in New York:

"Then the deal is done, but I must personally kill this divine abomination!"

"Can."

After a slight surprise at Arlin's last sentence, Loki smiled and agreed.

For Loki

As long as Erin, someone outside of this destiny, is willing to save Frika and change her fate, that's enough.

As for who would ultimately kill this divine beast, Loki didn't care.

Anyway, this monstrous creature is going to die eventually.

Otherwise, the version of myself still trapped in Stark Tower would be doomed.

·····················

The Scepter of Judgment

When the bright, holy golden halo once again shone in New York.

The Angel's Scepter, bursting with dazzling light, pinned the twisted shadow that was about to sacrifice itself and trigger a tide of death to the ground.

The golden aura, filled with light and holiness, erupted with ultimate brilliance at this moment, burning away the twisted shadows nailed to the [Angel's Scepter] into nothingness.

After the distorted shadow was completely incinerated and Erin received a notification from the [Scales of Fate], he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite the fact that, with Loki's help, Arryn seemed to kill this terrifying abomination with ease.

But for this moment.

With Loki's help, Arryn tried hundreds of times before finally succeeding, and only at this moment did he truly achieve his goal.

If it weren't for Loki repeatedly rewinding time, giving Arryn the opportunity...

Erin was unable to reset the cooldown of the [Angel's Scepter] in the shortest time, summon the six-winged angel, and activate the [Judgment Scepter] at the most opportune moment to kill this terrifying abomination.

to this end.

Even the somewhat weathered Loki looked like he had paid a heavy price.

After giving a slight nod to Arryn in a corner where no one could see him, Loki, who had traveled through time, disappeared into time once again.

·························

Just as he was about to rush towards the Twisted Shadow to create an opportunity for Thor to pin Steve to the ground, he had only run halfway when he discovered that the terrifying abomination had been blasted to death by a single spear from the six-winged angel summoned by Arryn.

Hastily crouching down and using his vibranium shield to block the aftershocks of the encroaching shockwave, Steve stared in disbelief at the "pure land" that had been baptized (burned) by the extremely concentrated divine power, which resembled crystal.

His handsome, sunny face was filled with confusion, as if he was beginning to doubt whether he was hallucinating.

"That monster... just died like that?"

Not to mention Steve, even Thor, who had rushed to the vicinity of the Twisted Shadow, and Hulk, who was blasted away by the aftershock of the Judgment Scepter, had eyes filled with doubt about life.

They seemed to find it hard to believe that the terrifying abomination had been so easily annihilated by Erin.

In order to kill the Twisted Shadow, which had begun to brew a tide of death, in the shortest possible time, Erin wasted no time this time.

Moreover, relying on the distorted shadows in the future, the directions of avoidance that one by one.

Erin directly predicted the distortion of the shadow.

Then it hit the target precisely.

In order to kill the Twisted Shadow, Erin deliberately compressed the explosion range of the [Judgment Circle], condensing the holy light that was enough to [Judgment] within a radius of hundreds of meters into ten meters.

Under this repeated reinforcement, the Twisted Shadow, which had already been severely injured and had consumed a great deal of power, could no longer hold on and was directly blasted into ashes by the six-winged angel summoned by Erin.

But Steve and the others couldn't see the efforts Arlin made with Loki's help. What they could see was Arlin easily annihilating the terrifying abomination that had previously caused them endless harm.
