Meanwhile, on the other side.
In a mysterious domain on another timeline.
After Mobius and B-15 returned, they immediately reported their experience to Judge Ravonna.
Judge Ravonna is one of the nominal supreme authorities of the Time Variance Authority.
Besides her, there is former Judge Gambo and General Dox, the highest administrator of the Time Hunters.
However, under normal circumstances, Ravonna does not need to report to the other two, she is only accountable to the Time Keepers.
When she heard Aaron's demands, Ravonna, who worshipped the Time Keepers, instantly lowered her opinion of Aaron to the absolute bottom.
However, when Ravonna learned from B-15 that the Time Reverser and Time Controller were still ineffective, she could only take Mobius and B-15 to the location of the Time Keepers on the third floor.
In an enclosed space strictly guarded by Time Hunters, three humanoid creatures sat quietly on a platform, listening to Ravonna and the two others report the situation.
They were expressionless from beginning to end, and there was an unsettling sense of incongruity. Their faces were stiff, and their eyes were lifeless, as if they were not alive.
However, due to their reverence for the Time Keepers, Ravonna and the others kept their heads bowed throughout, not daring to look up at them.
To them, the Time Keepers were the Gods of Time, true gods. They were not like those native gods from the timelines who could be easily challenged.
Normally, there was no need for the Time Keepers to act personally. They only needed to use the technology they created to casually erase time and slaughter the gods.
Although they suffered a setback against Aaron this time, Ravonna and the others never doubted that they would fail.
Those were the Time Keepers!
After Ravonna and the others relayed the details of the meeting with Aaron, the entire dark space fell silent.
After a long time, the leading person stiffly said, "We know. You may leave."
Ravonna looked up in surprise. "Time Keepers, are we not going to do anything?"
The person's expression remained unchanged, and he stiffly replied, "We will notify you of the action after we have finished our discussion."
Ravonna opened her mouth, then reluctantly turned and left.
After the three had left, the entire space fell silent once more.
The people maintained their previous posture without change. There was no sign of life in their bodies.
Meanwhile, at the end of time, inside a dilapidated castle.
Kang was using the power of time to observe the Universe where Aaron was located.
The current scene was paused at the moment Loki sat on the throne and Thor poured him wine.
Beside him, Miss Minutes, vibrant and glowing with an orange-yellow light, stood on the table like a clock, her round face bearing her usual gentle smile.
"Wow, Loki actually became the Lord of Omnipotence City. This is yet another new future."
Kang stared at Loki, deep in thought.
"Master, what are you thinking? Are you wondering whether to go see Aaron? Why don't we see what he's doing now?" Miss Minutes tilted her head and looked at him.
Kang shook his head. "Aaron's power is too immense, prying will only provoke his wrath."
This Master of Time, the true controller of the Time Variance Authority, when speaking of Aaron, revealed a trace of curiosity, and even a hint of dread, on his face.
Miss Minutes blinked.
This was the first time she had ever seen Kang display such an attitude.
In all the memories she had since her creation, Kang had never shown such an expression.
Even during the initial Multiverse War, he remained full of confidence. This was also what attracted her most to him.
"Then what should we do? Ravonna and the others are still waiting for your instructions." Miss Minutes asked, confused.
Kang closed his eyes in thought.
Ever since Aaron appeared, he had been unable to see the future. He could only examine Aaron's past over and over again and he only dared to peek at people who were not closely related to Aaron, analyzing Aaron's abilities bit by bit.
He had a premonition that even looking directly at Aaron in the past would lead to some unpredictable, unknown catastrophe.
Kang did not understand, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
At the same time, he also saw another possibility in Aaron.
Aaron's incomprehensible, unpredictable, and imperceptible Time Anchor ability deeply attracted him.
If he could study and master this method, then perhaps he would no longer have to worry about time branches.
But the enormous problem now was, how should he communicate with this terrifying and mysterious existence?
"Master?"
Miss Minutes waited but couldn't get Kang's answer, so she jumped from the table onto his shoulder.
"Are you worried about his power? I have an idea."
"Hmm?"
"Since you are worried that he might hurt us, why not send someone else?"
"For example, create another 'you'."
Miss Minutes' eyes flickered. "Or I could go instead. I will negotiate with him."
As the time assistant created by Kang, Miss Minutes repeated her duties year after year.
Helping everyone at the Time Variance Authority deal with time anomalies and simultaneously monitoring the operation of the entire Time Variance Authority for Kang.
She fully played the role of an assistant, but secretly, Miss Minutes had long wanted to become a real person. She was tired of the monotonous life day after day. She wanted to experience human life, instead of bouncing around as a glowing clock, being seen as a mascot or a pet.
However, in the entire Time Variance Authority, only Kang had the ability to achieve this. Only Kang could create a human body for her, allowing her to become another "Vision."
But now—
Kang glanced at Miss Minutes and smiled. "Your method is good. I should indeed go see him myself using a different identity."
Miss Minutes was smiling on the surface, but secretly quite unhappy.
Failed again.
Miss Minutes looked at Loki on the screen, thought of that great existence who made even Kang hesitate, and fell into contemplation.
She did not notice Kang giving her a deep look before quietly departing.
