After Sersi's words, Iron Man immediately realized that the leader of the Ten Commandments he had previously killed was named Killian.
It was unbelievable that their names were exactly the same.
And neither of them were good people.
It was an unexpected coincidence.
Although no one knew what kind of monster Killian from another world was, this monster possessed skin impervious to swords and blades, clearly indicating it was no ordinary monster.
[Answer complete, starting to play answer analysis!]
The system notification sounded, and a corresponding video was played on the big screen.
In the "projection room" from the previous video, Loki sat on the floor, looking dejected. Beside him lay the Tesseract he had just stolen.
That thing was something Loki desperately needed, but now it was useless junk.
Loki's mood was understandable.
Bang!
The door opened, and Mobius, holding a special weapon from the Time Bureau, walked towards Loki. "Loki, nowhere to run now, huh?"
But Loki had already resigned himself to his fate and had no intention of escaping.
"I can't go back, can I? I can't go back to my timeline," Loki said, his voice tinged with melancholy.
Agent Mobius didn't answer, but his silence spoke volumes.
"I don't like hurting people, I don't! I did it because I had no choice, I had to!" Loki's voice continued, and he began to open up to Mobius to some extent.
The two exchanged words, closing the distance between them considerably.
Finally, Mobius revealed his purpose to Loki: "Listen, I can't give you salvation, but perhaps I can give you something better. A time anomaly has been killing our Time Guard..."
"So you need the God of Mischief's help to stop him?"
"That's right."
"Why me?"
"Because the time anomaly we need to capture is you!"
Loki's expression suddenly became quite interesting.
"So… Loki's on Mobius's 'ship' now," Sersi couldn't help but chuckle.
The idea of capturing another version of himself sounded rather strange.
"Do you think Mr. Loki will agree to Mobius's request?" Peter Parker asked, quite intrigued.
"Of course, given Loki's personality, he'll definitely agree," Thor said with certainty. Thor
knew his brother quite well.
"The problem isn't whether Loki agrees or not, the problem is… Loki has no choice right now," Tony Stark pointed out.
If Loki didn't agree, he would definitely be subject to the 'reset,' and Loki wasn't one to sit idly by, so Tony Stark also believed Loki would agree.
At this moment, the scene on the big screen changed.
It showed a rainy night, with two portals standing proudly on a cyberpunk-style city street, and agents from the Time Bureau constantly emerging from the portals.
Loki, the great god, was also among them.
Undoubtedly, this operation was to capture the female Loki.
As everyone expected, Loki ultimately agreed to Mobius's request to cooperate with the Time Bureau to capture his other self.
"Any findings?"
"No, continue searching!"
A group of agents exchanged glances as they entered a building that resembled a supermarket.
"Take two teams to search Storm Shelter!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Loki and I will go check out the greenhouse..."
"No, absolutely not! You go with D90, Loki comes with me!"
The chubby-looking squad leader clearly didn't trust Loki and flatly refused Mobius's request to team up with him.
"What did you say? He's under my surveillance!"
"This is my field operation, Mobius! If he's not a threat..."
"He's not a problem."
"No, of course he's a threat!"
...
A debate ensued between Mobius and the squad leader. Ultimately, Mobius couldn't persuade the squad leader, and Loki went with him.
The others, needless to say, followed their squad leader's orders and began their operations.
However, what these people didn't realize was that their every move was being watched by a hooded woman through surveillance footage.
"That guy... is he a woman? He looks like a woman." Thor couldn't help but point at the "hooded figure."
Because the light was dim, and the person next to the monitor was wearing a somewhat loose robe, everyone could only vaguely guess that it was a woman.
They couldn't be certain.
But if that person really was a woman, things would get interesting.
Because this could very well mean that the actions of the Time Bureau's agents were under the control of Female Loki!
So, could this figure be Female Loki?
Although there was no direct evidence to prove this, everyone present felt it was highly likely.
After all, the female Loki was a powerful figure whom the Time Bureau couldn't capture and had to call on Loki for help; such control over everything was befitting of such a powerful figure .
On the screen
, the "hooded man" observed the monitor for a while before getting up and leaving.
However, on the table next to the monitor, a device flashing orange light was activated, displaying a countdown.
Its purpose was unclear.
The camera then switched to Loki, where he and his team leader were searching the room.
Soon, the two spotted a young Black man tending to plants.
"What are you doing?"
the squad leader asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the man.
"Buying plants," the young man replied, sounding a little nervous and confused.
"In this stormy weather?" Loki pointed out the obvious.
Indeed, who would choose to brave such a downpour to buy plants?
"Hurricane sale! Azaleas half price," the young man explained, his reasoning seemingly plausible.
"Could this be you?" the squad leader whispered to Loki beside him.
"I'd probably be wearing a suit, but yes, it's possible," Loki replied.
After a moment's thought, the squad leader walked towards the black man, but unexpectedly, the black man suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
A beam of green magic shot through the black man's hand and into the squad leader's body.
The instant the green light left his body, the black man lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, while the squad leader seemed to have become a completely different person.
"Is he dead?" Loki couldn't help but ask.
"No, they usually survive," the squad leader answered Loki directly, his demeanor and tone drastically different from before.
"It's female Loki!" Cersei couldn't help but point at the squad leader on the screen. "Obviously, female Loki is controlling her!"
"She can control other people's minds, so that's female Loki's ability?" Peter Parker said excitedly, glancing at Cersei and asking, "Is this ability the same as that one of your Eternals… you mentioned before…"
"Druids!" Cersei added, "That's right, druids also possess this ability."
"Loki, do you possess this ability too?" Captain America asked, looking at Loki.
"Why should I tell you, soldier? Do I know you guys that well?" Loki shrugged.
Although he didn't answer directly, based on everyone's understanding of Loki, he probably couldn't do such a thing.
It seems that Lokis from different universes can not only change gender, but also possess different abilities.
"So, you're the idiot the Time Bureau sent to capture me?"
On the screen,
the squad leader looked at Loki and said in a mocking tone.
"You're me, aren't you?"
"Come on, if I had to say, you're me."
"It's nice to meet you."
The two Lokis, like old buddies, began chatting as they "strolled" around the room.
"Seduce is a clever little trick, cowardly, amateurish, but with a bit of cleverness." Loki, with an air of arrogance, commented on the female Loki's methods.
"Almost as cowardly as working for the Time Bureau." The female Loki's retort was equally sharp.
"I only work for myself."
"You really think so? Haha, I thought they'd find a stronger version of me!"
As they were talking, a young man resembling a department store salesman approached, warmly greeting them: "Are you looking for the refuge?"
"No!" the female Loki said, quickly nudging the young man.
The young man instantly transformed back into the female Loki.
And so, after a brief exchange of probing, the two Lokis began to fight.
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, the two figures were engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the room.
Yes, hand-to-hand combat.
What surprised everyone was that Loki's magic was still working perfectly, completely unaffected. He had even boasted about drying his clothes with magic when he entered the room.
But in this battle with Female Loki, Loki didn't use a single spell.
Not only his signature illusion-creating abilities, but also his daggers.
Female Loki did the same.
She didn't use any spells, simply controlling one body after another, engaging Loki in hand-to-hand combat like two thugs.
It must be said, hand-to-hand combat was completely out of character for Loki, the cunning and trickster god.
"What do you want from me? What do you want?"
On the screen,
Loki, having been thoroughly thrashed by Female Loki, couldn't help but shout angrily at her.
"Get ready, Loki!"
The burly man possessed by Female Loki didn't say much, chuckled coldly a few times, and then collapsed to the ground.
At that moment, from the darkness behind Loki, a person wearing a long robe and a hood slowly emerged.
She walked up to Loki, removed the hood from her head, and a striking woman with short, blond hair appeared on the large screen.
Without a doubt, it was Female Loki.
"This is none of your business," Female Loki said to Loki in a very domineering tone.
*Beep beep beep!
* At this moment, the countdown on the orange device that Female Loki had installed earlier had finished.
"Activating!"
A message lit up.
The lights in the entire room instantly went out, plunging the scene into darkness.
The image on the large screen also ended there.
"Damn system, another abrupt ending!"
Thor couldn't help but mutter angrily. Female Loki was clearly up to something, and it didn't seem like a small matter.
No one knew what that glowing orange countdown device was, but even a fool could tell it wasn't something simple.
The probing conversation between Loki and Female Loki also revealed that Female Loki was clearly planning something big.
Everyone wanted to know what Loki was plotting, but who would have thought that at the most crucial moment, it would disappear!
"That thing...it shouldn't be a bomb, right?" Sersi asked, guessing.
Because the place where Loki and his crew captured Loki was clearly another universe unfamiliar to everyone, with a style vastly different from their own.
Therefore, no one could be sure whether the orange-glowing "countdown device" was a bomb.
"Although I don't know what bombs look like in that world, I think if it's Loki, her methods would be much more sophisticated,"
Tony Stark shrugged, saying to everyone.
Loki was a formidable figure whom even the Time Bureau couldn't handle, forcing them to rely on the criminals they captured; how could her methods be so mediocre?
"It's definitely not a bomb. I wouldn't use such a low-level method," Loki said decisively.
It seemed everyone considered it an insult to Loki to use such a childish tactic as a time bomb.
"Loki and Loki have officially met. Everyone, what do you think the outcome will be? Can Loki capture Loki?"
Peter Parker asked enthusiastically, adding his own opinion, "No offense to Mr. Loki, but I feel like this Loki seems more powerful than you."
