Loki's plan was good, but the monster wasn't stupid. It completely ignored him playing the "matador" role and went straight for Lady Loki.
"No! This way!" Loki dashed toward the monster's head, "Come and get me!"
Loki was running as fast as he could, but he was still a step behind. The monstrous head reached Lady Loki, its jaws gaping, ready to devour her.
At the critical moment, a burst of green light suddenly emerged. Beneath this green light, a castle rose from the ground, materializing out of thin air!
Cloak Loki, having returned!
The castle was immense, successfully isolating Loki and Lady Loki from the monster's attack range.
"How did he do that?" Lady Loki looked at the continually forming massive castle in shock.
"We're stronger than we think," Loki said.
"Hurry up!" Cloak Loki shouted from a distance. It was probably his refined demeanor that made him say that, or else he might have said something like "Are your brains squeezed if you're still chatting at a time like this?"
Lady Loki grabbed Loki's hand.
"What are you doing?" Loki asked.
"We're going to use enchantment together," Lady Loki said.
"But I don't know how." Loki said, wondering if Lady Loki was trying to hold his hand opportunistically.
"You will." Lady Loki firmly held Loki's hand, "Because we're the same."
Loki fell silent and, hand in hand with Lady Loki, exerted all their power to use enchantment.
A strange thing happened. Loki clearly couldn't use enchantment before, but with Lady Loki holding his hand, they successfully cast the spell.
Meanwhile, Cloak Loki had supported the immense castle for a while and finally reached his limit. He couldn't sustain the grand structure any longer.
"Glory and honor!" However, Cloak Loki had no fear. He stood there, raising his hands high, and solemnly shouted these words.
The enormous head of the monster lunged towards him.
"Hahaha!" Cloak Loki burst into laughter. Amidst his laughter, he was devoured by the monster, leaving behind only the helmet with the unsightly double horns.
With Cloak Loki gone, neither Loki nor Lady Loki had protection.
The massive head of the monster started rushing towards them.
Just as the fearsome head was about to engulf them, a devastating green light burst forth from within them. It dove into the monster and immediately turned the sky filled with dark clouds into green.
The enchantment had succeeded!
"Open your eyes." Lady Loki opened her eyes first and said to Loki, who still had his eyes shut.
The green clouds retreated to the sides like a door being opened, revealing a castle in front of them.
The two Lokis exchanged a glance, held hands, and walked towards the castle.
The space dimmed, and the video ended there.
"Again with this! Again with this!" Tony Stark was practically fuming, "We're about to find out who's behind TVA, and it cuts off at this crucial moment!"
"It's absolutely infuriating!" Peter Quill stamped his foot in frustration.
"That building must be where the creator of TVA resides. It doesn't even compare to the grandeur of Stark's mansion." Stephen Strange said, "Seems like this creator isn't all that impressive."
"True big shots are always low-key luxurious. They're not poor because they can't afford it; they just don't care." Clint Barton said, "You think everyone's like Tony, who can't wait to plaster 'rich guy' on their foreheads?"
"Clint, you're not a big shot, why are you speaking about big shots being low-key?" Tony Stark retorted, "But your idea of putting 'rich guy' on my armor's head isn't bad. I'll add it all over my suit later."
"I don't think this TVA creator is much of a big shot." Natasha Romanoff said, "Would a big shot be found by two Lokis so easily?"
"Yeah, being found out by two Lokis makes their style plummet." Scott Lang chimed in.
"Hey!" Loki interjected from the side, dissatisfied, "What's with this condescending tone? What do you mean no style just because I found them? I'm pretty impressive too, you know?"
"Powerful?" Natasha Romanoff smirked, "Don't you think calling yourself powerful is a bit of a stretch, especially compared to your brother Thor and many other beings who can easily outmatch you even though you're a god?"
"As if Thor hasn't been beaten up by others before," Loki retorted.
"Hey!" Now it was Thor's turn to be unhappy, "Why bring me into this?"
"I think maybe it's not Loki who found the TVA creator, but the creator who wanted to be found," Bruce Banner suddenly interjected.
"What do you mean?" Loki asked.
"What is TVA? Although I can't fully agree with their mission of safeguarding the sacred timeline, they undeniably have the ability to manipulate time. If so, wouldn't the creator know that Loki would find them in the future?" Bruce Banner asked.
"Dr. Banner makes a good point," Phil Coulson added, "The founder shouldn't logically be unaware of being found, yet Loki still managed to find them."
"I think you're overthinking it," Loki said, "Just because TVA employees can time-travel doesn't mean the creator of TVA can. The owner of a restaurant doesn't need to know how to cook; they just need to manage the employees who can cook."
"There's something worth noting here. Loki was actually able to use Lady Loki's enchantment." Steve Rogers chimed in, "Different Lokis from different worlds, yet they can use each other's abilities?"
"It doesn't make any sense," Tony Stark interjected, "These are entirely different worlds. Why should they share abilities?"
"I wonder if it's just Loki, or if everyone can do it?" Peter Quill mused.
[Question 7 begins, be prepared.]
[Ned Leeds uses a portal to find Peter Parker but accidentally discovers another universe's Peter Parker. However, the visitors from other universes are not just Spider-Men; they also include supervillains from other worlds. Which supervillain did not cross over between universes?]
[A Electro, Max Dillon]
[B Green Goblin, Norman Osborn]
[C Rhino, Aleksei Sytsevich]
[D Doctor Octopus, Otto Octavius]
[Answer correctly, and you'll receive the "Tiamut Hibernation Curse," which can make the celestial Tiamut sleep for a thousand years. Answer incorrectly, and a year of your lifespan will be deducted.]
"A thousand years of sleep for Tiamut?" Sersi was shocked upon seeing this reward, "What's the origin of this quiz space? They can even put a Celestial to sleep for a thousand years? That's a Celestial!"
"Indeed, we'd like to know the origin of this quiz space as well," Steve Rogers said, "Celestials, beings who create suns and galaxies, are already the utmost supreme entities. Yet, in my opinion, even a Celestial is nothing significant to the quiz space."
"You've been answering these quizzes for rounds now, and you don't know the origin of the quiz space?" Sersi asked.
"We have no clue," Thor shook his head.
"Odin doesn't know either?" Sersi inquired, "Odin also doesn't know?"
"My father is also unaware," Thor said.
"And the Ancient One?" Sersi questioned, "The Ancient One doesn't know either?"
"My teacher has always been curious about the quiz space," Stephen Strange said.
"Celestials, creators of suns, creators of the universe. TVA, claiming to be guardians of time, freely traversing time, wandering through time. Observers, always silently watching without interference." Tony Stark said, "Regardless of which, they're all the most supreme existences in the world. But no matter how powerful they are, in the quiz space, they can be exposed casually, and nothing can remain hidden. The quiz space is clearly more advanced than these existences."
"I don't really care about the origin of the quiz space, who created it, who's setting the questions, and all those questions. I don't care about any of it," Steve Rogers said, "I just know that the quiz space stands with humanity, stands with justice, and that's enough for me."
"Stands with humanity?" Sersi asked, "Are you sure?"
"I can't say for certain, but it's very likely," Steve Rogers said, "Haven't you noticed? The quiz space selects individuals for questioning, and they're always superheroes. And in the form of questions and answers, it's revealing the future disasters that Earth will face while also enhancing our abilities. It might not directly protect the people, but it shows us the future, which is a greater contribution than anything any one of us can make."
"Absolutely, us so-called superheroes, taking down a couple of supervillains, dismantling a few criminal organizations—compared to revealing the existence of Thanos, what are we really achieving?" Nick Fury said, "Those events concern the lives of billions!"
"But the questions they've been giving us lately are becoming increasingly difficult to analyze," Tony Stark said, "At first, the questions could be deduced and eliminated based on some information, but this question, there's absolutely no clue. It's impossible to even begin analyzing."
"However, based on the nature of the questions they've been asking, I can generally figure out what this question is about." Scott Lang said, "Out of the four options, Electro and Doctor Octopus have appeared in the video before, so I think they're also the ones who crossed over."
"Like the other two Spider-Men." Peter Parker added.
"Exactly, just like the other two Peter Parkers." Scott Lang confirmed.
"Although Green Goblin didn't appear in the previous videos, the previous Peter Parker did mention him. We know that in another Spider-Man universe, this villain exists." Steve Rogers said, "However, for Rhino, neither of the two Peter Parkers mentioned him. We can't even be sure if he's a villain in the Spider-Man world."
"So, choosing C is the most likely option," Tony Stark and Steve Rogers agreed.
"I choose C!" Peter Parker immediately selected C.
[Correct answer! Reward distributed!]
A string of extremely bizarre characters appeared in the air, flying straight into Peter Parker's mouth. Instantly, a black light surged, making it impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Just like when Thor received the "Hela's Dormancy Curse," it was a similar situation.
"Once we leave the quiz space, I'll cast a spell, and Tiamut will fall into slumber," Peter Parker said, "For now, we don't need to worry about that Celestial."
"But that's only temporary," Thor said, "Just like Hela, it's ultimately a hidden danger."
"The quiz space has given us a millennium of time; we'll find a solution," Steve Rogers said, "Our home still needs our protection. The quiz space has already guided us sufficiently; we can't expect it to do everything."
"Captain's right," Bruce Banner said, "Our home still needs us to safeguard it."
"If we choose option C for this question, it means Electro, Doctor Octopus, and Green Goblin have all come to our world," Stephen Strange said.
"These supervillains—Electro might pose a slightly bigger challenge, but the rest are more manageable," Clint Barton said. If it were in the past, he might have struggled against these foes, but after multiple rounds of strengthening, his strength had far surpassed what it used to be.
Not to mention his combination of wall-penetrating arrows and the perception of Haki Color Observation. Without a warning ability similar to Peter Parker's Spider-Sense, it was almost impossible to evade him.
Moreover, Clint Barton also had the unique arrows enhanced by the quiz space rewards, which granted them special abilities.
It could be said that Clint Barton, at this point, was undoubtedly a reaper of lives.
When he truly set his mind to killing someone, even among these "quiz companions" who answered questions together, only a few could survive.
"Still, we must not underestimate them," Steve Rogers said, "These supervillains might not be difficult for us to handle, but for ordinary people, they would be a disaster. Our goal isn't just to defeat these supervillains; it's to protect the people."
Soon, light appeared in the space, and the video began playing.
As the footage began, Peter Parker was wearing a suit and walking hurriedly on an elevated bridge.
Traffic was heavy; all vehicles were stuck in place, unable to move forward, and the honking of horns was incessant.
Peter Parker approached a black car and adjusted his clothes. "Tap tap," he knocked on the car window.
"What's up?" A black woman sat inside the car, and she rolled down the window to ask.
"Hello, I'm Peter Parker..." Peter Parker started to speak.
"Do you realize you're standing on a busy road?" the black woman asked.
"I know, I'm sorry, but I really need to talk to you," Peter Parker's words came out rapidly, "I know you're headed to the airport now, but MJ and Ned are the smartest people I've ever met in my life. And I'm just a big fool because I let them help me, but if I don't let them help me, millions of people will die. So don't let MIT become as foolish as I am."
"MIT fool?" Peter Parker rattled off that string of words like a machine gun, and the black woman heard that one sentence.
"No, I didn't say MIT is foolish," Peter Parker quickly denied, "What I meant is that the fool who shouldn't have let them help is me."
"Did you not rehearse this script beforehand, Peter?" the black woman asked.
"Anyway, what I want to say is..." Just then, Peter Parker suddenly sensed something.
