Bab 284: The Play of Rebellion Begins
The new question wasn't difficult, and all five players answered correctly. As usual, the correct answers began to play on the screen.
At the headquarters of the Time Variance Authority, Sylvie had brought Female Judge Ravonna to the courtroom, taking her time controller and interrogating her to find out who was the real mastermind behind everything.
Judge Ravonna had no idea and expressed her desire to know the truth herself. However, she did reveal that Loki might still be alive and gave Sylvie a brief introduction to the internal rules.
In reality, they didn't change or reset the timeline branches, which were the various parallel dimensions where all Lokis came from. What they did was eliminate the key figures and objects causing these timeline branches.
"I knew it," Tony Stark smirked. "If they had the power to destroy all parallel dimensions, they would indeed be supreme, but they can't."
Scott Lang scratched his head. "So, does that mean the parallel dimension where Loki comes from still exists? But doesn't that conflict with their mission?"
Their mission was to protect the so-called sacred timeline, rejecting all other parallel dimensions as unnecessary branches that must be pruned.
Hank Pym explained, "The female judge explained it quite clearly. All they need to do is eliminate the key figures causing timeline branches, and the timelines they belong to will cease to exist. This ensures the independence of the sacred timeline."
Scott Lang looked puzzled. "I still don't quite understand."
Tony Stark chuckled. "Parallel dimension theory is inherently complex. Just know that they aren't as righteous and powerful as they claim to be. The mastermind behind the scenes is just a coward who won't show his face!"
In the video, the female judge told Sylvie that all the surplus individuals and objects pruned from the timeline would be banished to the end of time, a place of nothingness.
According to her, the great Time Keepers were constantly expanding and building at the end of time, intending to make it a utopian paradise.
By now, the audience had seen in the previous video how awful the place at the end of time, the void, really was. It was clear that the female judge was either lying or ignorant.
Sylvie, in the footage, scoffed at her explanation, clearly unimpressed by the idea of the void.
During this process, the female judge openly expressed her intention to cooperate and explore the truth with Sylvie and help her rescue Loki. However, accessing the archive data required the time controller.
Sylvie reluctantly handed it over, and the female judge used it to summon Miss Minutes, the friendly mascot.
Scott Lang grinned. "This Miss Minutes is kind of cute."
Nick Fury glanced at Tony Stark. "Tony, she's like Jarvis, an AI assistant, right?"
Hank Pym raised an eyebrow. "It contains advanced technology, which makes sense, given they can freely travel through time. They must have access to a wide range of scientific knowledge. But you can see they haven't fully grasped the application of these technologies. The time controller and their batons, for example, are powerful but seem somewhat rigid. I have reason to suspect that the creators of these technological products lack creativity and imagination. It's more like they copied designs from blueprints."
Tony Stark shrugged. "You're probably right. I suspect their technology was stolen."
In the video, the female judge had Miss Minutes extract data from the very beginning of their establishment. This was a stalling tactic, and Sylvie saw through it. She ordered the extraction of data from the end of time.
Sylvie already had her plan. She intended to traverse the end of time, the void, to find the real mastermind.
Tony Stark praised, "She's really smart. She figured out the truth so quickly. Yes, the mastermind is most likely hiding at the end of time."
Loki, on the other hand, frowned and said, "This female judge isn't completely clueless. Did she manage to deceive the God of Mischief with her poor acting?"
However, in reality, the female judge did deceive Sylvie. She and Miss Minutes bought time, claiming to have a time ship that could traverse the void. In the end, they waited for backup to arrive. Sylvie immediately took cover, and although she was deceived by the female judge, she didn't let her guard down. With her skills, she still had a chance to fight back.
But she didn't. Instead, she chose to prune herself!
Sylvie had already guessed the truth, knowing that the end of time, the void, was the key to uncovering everything.
The camera then switched to Loki and various other Lokis, which followed from the previous video.
Loki tried to face the monsters outside alone and returned, but unexpectedly ran into a group of Lokis, and then returned to his underground hiding place.
Old Loki scolded time criminal Loki, "You idiot, you've led the wolves to the door!"
Another group of Lokis, led by President Loki, smirked and said, "We think 'snakes' is a more fitting term."
Kid Loki stepped forward, "I've killed all these Lokis before, and their deaths aren't any different!"
At this point, the boastful Loki beside him suddenly held a hammer to Kid Loki's throat. "I'm sorry, my liege, I've betrayed you. And now, I am king."
Time criminal Loki watched the scene silently.
Outside the video, Tony Stark and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, it's amusing. A bunch of Lokis together, what do we see? Betrayal, betrayal, and more betrayal!"
"This scene is quite hilarious. They're all Lokis, didn't they know that Lokis are not to be trusted?"
What's even funnier is yet to come. President Loki thought he had the upper hand and faced the demand for his army from boastful Loki. He spread his arms, "No, the army is mine, and the throne is mine too."
In the next moment, the soldiers around him all aimed their weapons at him.
"Hahaha," Scott Lang laughed until his stomach hurt. "This is a real suspenseful drama. No one knows who will betray whom in the end."
