American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

Xiu En glanced at the middle-aged man in a suit who was still anxiously muttering about when the fried chicken would be ready, then looked at the golden rose and morning dew orchid in his arms, and at Loki beside him who was watching the show with amusement.

He sighed.

Xiu En walked toward the two uninvited guests.

As he moved forward, the warm and gentle sunlight of the entire Ximu Realm seemed to dim somewhat.

The surrounding air began to heat up uncontrollably. The blooming sunflowers all lowered their flower heads slightly, as if in reverence.

"first."

Shuen finally stood in front of Möbius and Loki.

He reached out and pointed to the golden rose in Möbius's arms.

Give it back to me.

Mobius was so startled by the terrifying pressure emanating from Shuen that he instinctively took a half step back!

"Sir! Listen to me! Now is not the time to dwell on these two bouquets of flowers!"

He was sweating profusely, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

"We must immediately sever this damn world, this damn timeline, time... uh..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Because he saw the dark-haired man in front of him narrow his eyes dangerously.

"This damn world?"

Xiu En repeated his words.

"Hehe, sir, I think I need to correct a small slip of the tongue you made."

"First of all, this is not some damned world, nor is it a damned timeline. This is the Ximu Realm."

Hugh's gaze swept over Möbius's face, which was filled with fear and confusion, before finally settling on the bouquet of golden roses.

"Secondly, it wasn't just an ordinary flower."

His voice carried an absolute, cold, and majestic quality, the kind that only a god would use when pronouncing the sins of mortals.

"That was a gift I gave to my loved one."

"You not only wrecked my place, but also stole our token of love, and finally even insulted our home."

The golden light in Xiu En's eyes began to burn.

"Now, how are you going to explain this to me?"

The moment Xiu En finished speaking.

Standing behind him were Diana, Ivy, Natasha, Sif, Kate Bishop, and even Louise, who had just put on her wedding ring...

All the women present

They all took a step forward in unison.

They didn't say anything.

But those piercing gazes, seemingly capable of tearing a person to pieces, were focused on the trembling TVA agent.

Möbius felt like he was suffocating.

He would rather face the purple monster that could devour the entire timeline right now!

I don't want to stay here for another second!

"I'm so sorry!"

Under the dual pressure of divine authority and the collective judgment of the all-female group.

Mobius returned the flowers in his arms to Shuen with the speed of throwing away a hot potato!

"I'm so sorry, sir! I swear! I didn't mean to!"

He spoke so fast it sounded like he was reciting an employee handbook.

"Those damn phrases were just my personal catchphrases! I absolutely did not mean to insult your world! Your world is incredibly beautiful! Full of sunshine and hope! It's the best timeline I've ever seen! Really!"

As he spoke, he bowed repeatedly to Xiu En in apology!

"And there are these two bouquets! I really didn't know... I swear! If I had known, I would have jumped off a timeline and never touched a single petal!"

Möbius felt like he was about to cry.

He had never felt so humble in his entire life.

"Oh my God! Möbius."

Loki, who was standing to the side, finally spoke up.

He looked at his colleague, who usually appeared steady and reliable, but was now bowing and apologizing like a schoolchild who had made a mistake.

His smile, which seemed to be enjoying the spectacle, grew even brighter.

"I told you before. Before entering a new time branch, you must carefully read the local customs and traditions manual."

He spoke in an aria-like tone.

"Look, you've not only disrupted a grand proposal ceremony, but you've also inadvertently interfered with something even more sacred—well, how should I put it? A proposal rehearsal?"

"You've really offended everyone at the party now."

Loki shrugged, his face full of innocence, as if to say, "This has nothing to do with me."

"I should never have brought you along."

Mobius was so angry at his sarcastic remarks that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

If you hadn't insisted on dragging me along, saying that this was really interesting and that we absolutely had to see it for ourselves!

Would I really come to this godforsaken place?!

Shuen accepted the two bouquets of flowers from Möbius's still slightly trembling hands with a blank expression.

Never mind, it's good that the flowers are alright.

He looked at the person in front of him who was about to cry, and his expression finally softened a little.

He could tell that the other person hadn't done it on purpose.

He was simply tricked by Loki.

He then nodded to the agent who was still bowing repeatedly.

The meaning is obvious.

That's all for now.

This will not be repeated.

When Möbius saw Shuen's nod, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon!

He felt as if he had just walked through a dangerous timeline!

I'm back alive!

He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling completely exhausted.

The golden rose returned to Shuen's hands.

Xiu En tightened his fingertips slightly.

But in the end, he loosened his grip.

He forcibly suppressed the urge to crush Loki, along with their damn orange door, into cosmic dust.

He turned around and returned the two bouquets of flowers, representing two different promises, to their rightful owner.

The white morning dew orchids were back in Louise's hands. The star reporter, who had just experienced extreme joy and sorrow, held the bouquet she had lost and found, her face filled with complex emotions.

The bouquet of golden roses that would never fade was returned to Ivy's arms by Xiu En.

"Feel sorry."

Xiu En looked into Ivy's eyes and apologized softly.

All that remained was an unmasked weariness and sadness.

He messed it up.

Ivy held the bouquet of roses, and she could sense the disappointment that Xiu En was suppressing beneath his calm exterior.

She wanted to say something.

But he still didn't speak.

She reached out her other hand and grasped Xiu En's hand, which was still hanging in mid-air.

Xiu En's body jolted. Then he gripped her hand tightly in return.

It was as if only in this way could he draw strength from her to keep enduring.

He turned around again to face the people who were still bowing desperately.

He gestured to Möbius to let him go.

That look in his eyes was as if he were watching a boring, third-rate midday theater.

"Okay, the foreplay is over."

"Now you can begin your official performance."

After receiving this signal that was full of "If you don't say something useful, you'll disappear from the timeline."

Möbius dared not utter another word of nonsense.

He stood at attention and began his report with the speed and pace one would use when reporting an urgent military situation to the highest-ranking officer!

"Ladies and gentlemen! I'm sorry to bother you, but it's an emergency!"

He held up the device that was still alarming, its pointer almost bent at 180 degrees!

"We are the Time Mutation Administration, or TVA for short! Our duty is to maintain the unity and stability of the sacred timeline! To eliminate any dangerous branching points that could lead to multiverse war!"

"And you!"

He pointed to the entire party scene, where every single entity emanated terrifying energy fluctuations.

"This damn...no! This unprecedented party is creating a time-space node event!"

His voice trembled with urgency and fear.

"Can you understand?! A celebration involving top heroes from both DC and Marvel! Every use of your energy! Every outburst of emotion! Every, damn it... every wonderful toast! All of these send a signal to the entire spacetime continuum!"

He waved his arms vigorously, trying to describe the nature of the disaster!

"Imagine the entire multiverse as a vast, dark, and icy ocean! And you are like an open-air seafood barbecue buffet!!"

"The scent emanating from you, a complex blend of divine power, magic, hope, anger, will, and even that damn... no, that beautiful love—a scent of high-dimensional energy! It's like ten thousand freshly grilled lobsters!!"

Its fragrance permeated every corner of this ocean! Enough to attract the deep-sea behemoths slumbering at the end of time!

"He described it vividly, but it wasn't accurate enough."

A voice slowly and deliberately cut in.

It's Loki.

He straightened his collar, stepped forward, and once again gave an impeccable hand-to-chest salute to everyone present.

It was as if he were the real speaker at the press conference.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my beautiful ladies and gentlemen."

His eyes gleamed with a mischievous light.

"Please allow me to add a little something for my colleague who isn't very talkative."

"The deep-sea behemoth he spoke of"

"You can imagine it as a blackish-purple storm that has no mouth but can devour everything."

"It is the end itself."

Loki paused, his gaze sweeping across the faces of every hero present, whose expressions were beginning to turn serious, before continuing.

"It only eats time."

"Eat time?"

Barry Allen repeated the word unconsciously.

"Yes. Time to eat."

Loki nodded, seemingly pleased that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"What it devours will be erased from the very foundation of existence."

"Your past, your present, your future. All the traces of your existence. The people you've loved, the words you've spoken, the mistakes you've made, the achievements you've made..."

"Everything will disappear without a trace, as if it never happened."

"Even the memories of you will be erased from everyone's minds."

Loki shrugged, a helpless expression on his face.

"But, unfortunately..."

"Like my poor colleague just said. You guys, the smell that's wafting from this party..."

"It's its favorite flavor."

"No! He's here! He's already here!"

Möbius, looking at the instrument in his hand that had completely exceeded its limits, let out a scream even more desperate than before!

"Loki! Hurry! We have to get out of here right now!" He didn't even have time to pull Loki away; he himself was already frantically trying to open the orange time portal!

However, it was too late.

The moment his words fell!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A sound, seemingly coming from beyond the world, from the end of time, resounded throughout the entire Ximu Realm!

The next second, everyone looked up.

They saw it.

The sky over Ximu Realm was originally clear and warm.

It is fading away at an abnormal rate.

It was as if a black curtain was spreading from the ends of the earth, threatening to devour the entire world!

It was a monster that devoured time and space, and everyone present could clearly feel the greed and hunger emanating from the depths of its soul.

It was attracted by the aroma of fried chicken and was about to enjoy its feast!
