c446 Remnant and Conqueror
Chapter 446: The Leftovers and the Conqueror
The “Time Variation Authority”, or “TVA” for short, is a huge bureaucracy.
It is dedicated to overseeing, adjusting, and ultimately balancing the vast number of timelines in the multiverse of infinite variables.
Legend has it that it was created by three “Guardians of Time” whose job it was to discard obsolete timelines and try to prevent time paradoxes from happening.
At the same time, they also monitor the core individuals to prevent their wanton actions from causing chaotic timelines.
But after Loki was captured by TVA in the timeline disorder caused by the space gem, he experienced a series of events and met a variant of himself, Sylvie, who was regarded as a space-time criminal since childhood.
Under the joint investigation of the two of them, the truth that TVA has been hiding all along is revealed to them.
The so-called Time Variation Authority, as well as the three time guardians, and even their missions, are outright lies.
First of all, the Time Variation Administration does have the power to travel through time and space at will, but the time guardian does not exist——
They are just robots created by people behind the scenes as cards.
TVA travels through time and space, and modifies the timeline, relying on the power of future technology——
A man behind the so-called “Remainers” from the 31st century Earth created TVA.
According to the information Loki got from talking with him, he claimed to be the scientist who discovered the parallel universe with technology in that era, but at the same time his variants in the parallel universe all discovered each other.
Therefore, they created a method to connect with themselves in the parallel universe, using the technology of each universe in the 31st century to complement each other, and soon broke away from the normal technology tree of human beings.
However, not all versions of him are content only with the advancement of knowledge.
For some of them, the parallel universe is a new world, and the only meaning of existence is to be conquered by oneself.
So, naturally, the early days of peaceful coexistence soon turned into all-out brutal war.
Cosmic level war.
Each variant is fighting for the survival of its own universe while destroying the others.
Oakes, who has experienced the collision of parallel universes, knows how cruel and tragic this is in the multiverse.
The entire multiverse is near doomsday.
The afterglow of the destruction of countless universes, even among the infinite multiverses, is a light that illuminates the dark void.
However, things did not turn around.
The first of their variants, the one who came to be known as “The One Who Remained,” encountered a creature congealed from the grief of reality.
It is capable of devouring time and space by itself and is called “Erios”.
Using their own technology, the Remnants harnessed the power of Elrios and experimented with it, turning it into their own weapon.
A weapon enough to end this tragic multiverse war.
He even isolated the timeline he was in from the chaotic timeline of the multiverse!
No matter how you fight, I can take my hometown and run away!
But the people left behind are very clear that once their own timeline derives a multiverse again, then there will inevitably be their own new variants.
At that time, another multiverse war will start again, and it is unknown whether he can win this time.
So, he decided to eliminate the possibility of this happening.
And his solution is to create the “Time Variation Administration”.
He took various human variants from various times, erased their memories, made them believe that both himself and TVA were created by the Time Guardians, and also built robots to act as Time Guardians.
The mission entrusted to TVA by the person left behind is to cut and delete all the branch timelines derived from various reasons on all known timelines, so as to ensure that only one timeline always exists.
Apart from technology, the remaining person is just an ordinary person, who does not know magic or supernatural powers.
In order to ensure this timeline, he always has the upper hand and can control everything above all destructive individuals, the people left behind thought of a way.
Show the flow of time in the form of a Möbius loop, just like Tony’s time travel model does.
It’s not a big deal, because since the timelines can be separated, the Remnants have already done everything Tony did.
Oakes even guessed that in the original timeline, the people left behind were able to manipulate the timeline based on the time travel theory left by Tony and combined with the wisdom of the multiverse!
The Remains succeeded.
He successfully made the timeline into a continuous loop, and called it——
“Sacred Timeline”.
The job of TVA is to use the time technology provided by the remaining people to maintain the normal flow of the sacred timeline at all times, so as to ensure that it goes back and forth over and over again.
Those left behind have cycled millions of times in this sacred timeline.
Every time and place in the sacred timeline, what will happen to everyone, and even the content of their conversations, he has experienced it millions of times.
It was as if a movie was playing in a loop, and he could clearly understand the minutes, seconds, scenes, actors’ actions, and lines.
In this imprisoned timeline, he is a well-deserved, omniscient and omnipotent god.
The time flow in TVA is completely different from reality.
To be precise, TVA is built on a location that transcends the notion of time in the real world.
Here the past, present and future exist at the same time——
This is also the representative meaning of the three “time guardians” created by the people left behind.
Therefore, although the person left behind has experienced millions of times of the sacred timeline for countless years, he will not age——
Because for him, the concept of “time” does not exist.
Maybe you could call him “The Immortal”.
He claims to be the master of time, or the gardener of time, who prunes off the branches of time that are considered dangerous, and turns reality into a bloodless grass.
In layman’s terms, it’s the enclosure.
In this way, TVA has been maintained for countless years, making the real universe avoid experiencing the war of the multiverse in the reincarnation of countless established trajectories at the cost of losing freedom and possibility.
The fate of Loki, he has watched countless times.
Even, the Avengers of the 616 universe travel in time and reverse the infinite, which is also an established script.
This made Oakes more sure of his thoughts.
Without this reverse infinite time travel, Tony in the 616 universe would not have perfected the theory of continuous time, thus creating a safe and controllable means of time travel.
The future “eternal person” and “remaining person” may not be able to obtain the technology of time travel, so as to create a sacred timeline!
“But your appearance obviously disrupted the sacred timeline, so they arrested you, but you didn’t expect the commotion caused by you to become bigger and bigger?”
Through Rocky’s narration, Oakes basically understood the situation of TVA.
It really made Tony guess right. There will indeed be such ambitious people in the future, and the “Eternal Life” is the one who laughs last among his countless variants.
But what about himself?
According to TVA’s handling method, he should have created a branch timeline when he first traveled through the soul, so he should be arrested as a time criminal.
If so many existing multiverses are part of the sacred timeline, doesn’t it mean that everything about oneself is also known by the “eternal living”?
Is it also under his control to come here? !
“The ‘cut’ timelines don’t disappear, TVA just moves them to a place called ‘The Void’ where they stop developing and collide with each other to destroy them.”
Loki stroked Gungnir’s gun and shook his head:
“In the end, their remains will be devoured by the monster ‘Erios’ that devours time and matter, and they will truly disappear.
I was also ‘cut’ into the void, where I encountered four variants of me—
It was also with their help that Sylvie and I were able to possess Ellios, successfully arrived at the castle at the end of time, met the ‘remaining people’, and…”
Loki’s eyes are extremely complicated:
“The person left behind said he was tired, and Sylvie and I were able to reach him because of his calculations. He hoped that the two of us would be in charge of TVA instead of him.
But Sylvie refused, and killed the remaining people. ”
“What?!”
Oakes was really surprised.
Is this Sylvie, the beloved female Loki, so tough?
And this leftover person is an ancient guy.
When I am impatient with life, I think about fancy ways to find death.
However, the sacred timeline is maintained by the person left behind, that is, the “eternal”, if he dies…
“That’s right.”
Loki saw Oakes’ thoughtful expression, and knew that the other party also had a deep understanding of time:
“From that moment on, the sacred timeline branched out into countless branched time streams, resulting in countless parallel universes…
And because the concept of time is very special in Void and TVA, you may have experienced a time that is different from mine for decades or ten years, but for me, your universe may have just followed Hill’s time not long ago. With a knife from Wei, it branches out. ”
“…so I should thank you.”
Oakes sighed with emotion, and he also understood this.
Time is not synchronized between the various timelines, as his previous multiverse travels have discovered.
However, the emergence of the multiverse, or the reappearance, was initiated by the female Loki, which he never expected.
“You don’t seem to doubt what I’m saying.”
Loki raised his eyebrows:
“To be honest, I’m not used to being trusted like this.”
“Because I know you well enough, and because my ability is related to life—
You don’t have magic now, you are just an ordinary person, I can still perceive whether you are lying or not. ”
What Oakes said made Loki purse his lips, and his expression became serious:
“Then since you can tell that I’m telling the truth, you should have noticed the other thing too?”
“Yes.”
Oakes sighed:
“The symbol of TVA you mentioned, the three time guardian statues, I have never seen…
And the person corresponding to the statue should be another variant of the dead ‘remaining person’. ”
“That’s right.”
Loki nodded heavily:
“TVA is completely different from the one I knew before. It is now called ‘Time and Space City’, and its city lord no longer needs to hide his existence with robot puppets.”
“His name is ‘Con,’ but he prefers to be called—
‘conqueror’! “
