TVA headquarters.

Beneath the dome of the courtroom, all was silent.

Judge Raphnah stood in front of the giant holographic screen, her hands resting on the control panel.

Three videos are playing on a loop on the screen.

The first section is about the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard.

Loki used his magical chains to slam the four agents onto the bridge and drag them along, while the cutting rod was crushed from a distance.

The second section is set at the Avengers headquarters in the central courtyard.

Steve took down three agents in the bathroom with his bare hands, without even getting a scratch on their skin with the cutting stick.

The third section describes an unknown, abandoned planet.

Tony Stark, wielding a warhammer of unknown origin, annihilated more than a dozen agents and reversed the force field of the time anchor using black hole particles.

By the third time the video was played, the veins on the back of Rafna's hand had bulged like earthworms.

"So many squads, all wiped out."

Her voice was calm, but the bulging veins on her forehead revealed the anger in her heart.

The two administrators standing nearby simultaneously took a half step back.

"Your Honor, the target's combat strength assessment has been seriously flawed. Previous intelligence..."

"Intelligence?" Raphna turned her head.

The administrator immediately shut up.

Lavna stared at him for five seconds, then looked back at the screen.

She pressed pause, and the image froze on a special shot.

On a desolate planet, in the final moments before the portal closes.

An Asian youth is turning his head to look in the direction of the camera.

The expression on that face was neither fear nor tension.

It's a laugh.

"This is the person." Raphna pointed to the face with her fingertip.

"He is the source of all deviations."

"He brought with him items and abilities that did not belong to this timeline, causing the fates of hundreds of key figures to be permanently rewritten."

"As long as he exists, pruning can never keep up with the speed of deviation."

She remained silent for a few seconds.

"Retrieve the earliest record of this person on the timeline."

The holographic screen flickered and a timeline popped up.

There is only one marker point on the timeline.

The courtyard, a cave near a military base in Afghanistan.

"This is the first point in the timeline he's intervened in," the administrator said cautiously. "Before this, his timeline information was completely blank; there are no prior records in the database."

Lavna stared at the marker, remaining silent for a long time.

"Your Honor?"

"Send someone back to that point."

Lavna's voice finally broke its composure.

"Erase him the moment he first appears."

The two administrators exchanged a glance, both showing hesitation.

"Your Honor, the authority to intervene in time reversal requires the joint signature of all three Guardians..."

"The Guardian has already signed."

Raphna pulled a golden token from her sleeve and slapped it onto the control panel.

The token is engraved with three overlapping rings that emit a faint orange glow.

"The highest ruling."

"I want the most elite hunter squad, equipped with a full set of time-based weapons, including those prototypes that are still in the testing phase."

"yes!"

The two administrators turned and walked away quickly.

Raphna stood alone in front of the screen, her gaze fixed on the frozen smiling face.

She raised her hand and wiped the face off the screen.

"I hope you can still smile later!"

……

Just as the group of agents were preparing to head to the designated time point, the red warning lights on the wall began to flash wildly.

"Report! All time travel engines are disabled!"

An agent frantically pounded his hands on the control panel, veins bulging on the back of his hands.

He pounded away on the keyboard, but the screen only displayed gibberish.

Judge Lavna strode to the screen.

The one-way streets that originally represented the timeline on the screen are now intertwined and disordered.

Countless branches are proliferating exponentially and emitting a blinding red light.

"Speak like a human being." Raphna stared at the screen, her eyes cold and sharp.

"We can't go back to the past." The agent looked up, his face filled with terror.

He looked at Rafna and swallowed.

"The timeline in the central courtyard has been completely locked down from a higher dimension by some unknown force!"

Lavna grabbed the agent by the collar and lifted him up.

"TVA controls all timelines, are you saying someone has locked it down?"

"Your Honor, this is the data the system is reporting." Another technician rushed over, holding a hot test report in his hand.

"The portal will collapse on the spot whenever we try to teleport agents to a point in the past."

The technician's voice trembled.

"Not only the past, but we can't even see the future."

"The holographic projection sphere that was predicting the future just exploded due to overload, and three of the main servers in the seventh sector were also burned out."

Lavna released the agent and turned to look at the big screen.

Li Ang's smile gradually became glaring in everyone's eyes, as if mocking their incompetence.

"In addition, just now when we were analyzing this young man, the system issued the highest level of danger warning."

A line of red text suddenly popped up on the big screen.

[High-dimensional interference warning! The target exceeds the dimensionality resolution limit! Forced resolution may produce unexpected consequences!]

The hall was completely silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at the line of red text, their eyes filled with panic.

Exceeding the dimensionality resolution limit of the TVA system?

TVA is an organization built outside of time; in the minds of these agents, they possess absolute truth.

The system is now saying that the other side's dimension is higher than theirs?

This directly caused everyone to waver in their beliefs.

"Your Honor, what kind of monster is this?" Vice Captain B-15 clenched his fists.

"If we can't even get to the past, how can we prune them in their budding stage?"

Lavna's expression shifted a few times before she turned and walked silently toward the golden elevator at the end of the hall.

"No one is allowed to make any rash moves before I return."

The golden elevator leads directly to the main hall of the three Time Guardians.

Half an hour later.

The elevator doors opened again, and Lavna stepped out.

Her face was extremely pale, and she quickly walked back to the control panel.

The agents in the hall immediately surrounded them.

"Your Honor, what did the Guardian say?" B-15 asked anxiously.

Lavna ignored her and walked straight to the high platform in the center of the hall.

"All Level 1 and Level 2 action teams, assemble immediately!"

Upon receiving the order, hundreds of fully armed agents quickly assembled in the hall.

The weapons in everyone's hands were already charging.

"Since the past nodes are welded shut, let's go to the current node." Raphna looked around the room.

"Since we can't nip these mutants in the bud, let's eliminate all their descendants!"

The agents below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Honor, what do you mean?"

"Prepare a high-yield time-reset bomb."

Lavna uttered a few words.

A murmur erupted in the hall.

"A high-yield reset bomb? If we can sever this timeline directly, there seems to be a chance to turn the tide..."

"But those people are incredibly capable; there's no way we could secretly plant the bomb!"

Lavna slammed her hand on the control panel.

Bang!

The entire hall fell silent once again.

"This is the greatest crisis facing the Sacred Timeline!"

Lavna shouted sternly.

"If we don't completely format the timeline in the central courtyard, our entire TVA will collapse!"

She pulled up the monitor screen and pointed to the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy who were gathering.

"They already know we exist and are trying to retaliate."

Lavna stared intently at the blurry figure on the screen.

"The goal is very clear."

"Send someone to the current point in the central courtyard to physically place the reset bomb and reset the entire timeline."

"No matter how many people die, no matter what the cost, all abnormal mutations must be eliminated!"
