……

On the desolate desert, the air seemed to freeze at Yu Mu's words.

The members of the Illuminati stared intently at the small time tablet in Yu Mu's hand.

Just now, Yu Mu, in the most calm tone, described to them a future that would drive any ambitious person crazy.

"This little thing is far more valuable than the Infinity Stone beneath your feet."

Yu Mu's voice carried a hint of lazy laughter.

"TVA, the Time Mutation Administration, they call themselves the gardeners of the sacred timeline, pruning all possible 'weeds'."

"And this flat panel is their garden shears. But they don't know that these shears can also cut open the door to the back garden."

He paused, his deep eyes sweeping over the crowd, his gaze seemingly able to see through endless time and space, looking towards a forbidden place unknown to anyone.

"Behind that door is a huge junkyard called 'The Void,' the end point of all the timelines cut out by TVA."

"There, countless 'losers' from different timelines are imprisoned."

"Imagine a psychic being more powerful than Charles Xavier, a super soldier who was never frozen and who fought his way through World War II, or even... countless different versions of Loki, all crammed into one place for a tea party."

Yu Mu's description made Tony Stark's breathing quicken.

That wasn't fear, but rather the irrepressible excitement of a genius!

"My God..." Tony muttered to himself, "That's not a junkyard, it's a living treasure trove, teeming with unknown technology and mutated creatures!"

White Queen Emma's lips curled into an alluring smile.

"A flock of lost sheep, waiting for a true master to lead them. That sounds quite interesting."

Gwen and Felicia, on the other hand, had stars in their eyes and longed for the "tea party" that the shepherd had mentioned.

In their eyes, Yu Mu always manages to find the most exciting and fun things in the world.

You'll never be bored with him.

"The purpose of order is to be replaced by more interesting chaos," Yu Mu chuckled, summarizing.

Just as everyone was getting excited about this grand future.

Loki, who had been forgotten by everyone, stared intently at the faint smile on Yu Mu's face, feeling as if his soul had been frozen into ice shards.

He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

That smile contained no triumphant boasting, no smug satisfaction at a successful conspiracy, and no contempt for the enemy.

It was a kind of... pure pleasure.

It's like a bored god who accidentally discovers a brand new game that can make him laugh out loud.

Loki had witnessed Odin's majesty, Thor's recklessness, Frigga's compassion, and even Thanos's indifference in treating all living beings as mere dogs.

But Yu Mu's smile transcended all of that.

It is a kind of absolute and transcendent "playfulness" that regards everything in the universe as a "toy".

He wasn't strategizing, nor was he fighting.

He was just playing around.

As for himself, from the throne of Asgard to the desert of Earth, he was just a little toy that he casually picked out of his toy box, something that could amuse him at this moment.

The tricks I was so proud of, the ecstasy of breaking free from my constraints, my yearning for freedom... all of it was just part of this "game".

Every step of his self-righteous struggle was precisely and perfectly propelling the script he had already written.

The fear of being completely seen through, completely controlled, and having one's soul treated as a plaything is ten thousand times more terrifying than death itself.

Loki finally understood.

He was not Yu Mu's enemy.

Because he doesn't deserve it at all.

……

Loki's decoy plan was executed flawlessly.

Yu Mu looked at the TVA agents who were lost in their dreams, their faces full of silly smiles, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Emma, ​​erase their memories."

Yu Mu gave the order.

"Erase the traces of our existence, so that they believe that from beginning to end, it was just that they successfully captured a foolish time criminal."

Queen Emma nodded, her powerful spiritual energy preparing to sweep across the entire area.

She glanced at Loki in the corner, whose eyes had completely lost their luster and who looked like a broken puppet, and asked:

"And what about him?"

As a god, Loki's mental will far surpasses that of mortals, making it difficult for Emma's mental power to perfectly modify him without destroying his consciousness.

Upon hearing this, Yu Mu smiled.

He stretched out his finger and pointed it at the bewildered god of trickery.

"Have you all forgotten what Loki Odinson's most famous divine name is?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"The god of trickery and lies," Tony answered instinctively.

"That's right." Yu Mu's smile grew even more playful. "Who would believe a man who has lied his whole life?"

"When lies become his only label, then when he one day shouts out the truth with all his might, that truth itself will become the biggest and most ridiculous lie of his life."

"We don't need to erase his memory; we even want him to remember everything that happened today, every single detail."

"Because his pain, his despair, and his truth that no one believes are our most perfect alibi."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Illuminati looked at Loki with a hint of pity.

This is even more cruel than killing him outright.

This is attacking the heart.

Loki, who was the center of everyone's discussion and had been ignored the whole time, turned pale, then green, then purple, and finally turned ashen after hearing Yu Mu's words.

He got it.

He understood completely.

Yu Mu not only wanted to send him to that so-called time prison, but also to deprive him of his last weapon—language.

He wanted to transform himself into a walking "warning sign," a living example to prove that "the words of a madman cannot be trusted."

His anger, his hatred, and the truth he revealed about Yu Mu, this devil, will all become, in TVA's eyes, his well-deserved ravings.

How vicious!

How cruel!

Loki opened his mouth, but no sound came out. A huge sense of despair, like icy seawater, completely overwhelmed him.

Then, Yu Mu led the group away, disappearing into thin air under Loki's distraught gaze.

……

A moment later, the TVA agents slowly woke up.

The leading Black woman shook her head, her eyes showing a moment of confusion.

strangeness.

She frowned, feeling as if... she had forgotten something.

It was like a continuous videotape with a frame cut out in the middle. Although it didn't affect the overall viewing experience, the slight, disjointed jump made her feel very uncomfortable.

What is it?

She looked around; everything seemed normal.

The mission objective was successfully controlled, and the Cosmic Cube remained unharmed.

Her gaze finally settled on Loki, who was chained up and staring at her with eyes filled with a mixture of overwhelming hatred and endless despair.

Oh, so it's this guy.

The Black woman instantly "understood" the source of that unease.

It must have been the intense resistance I felt earlier that caused me to have some kind of illusion.

She stepped forward and impatiently tapped Loki's cheek with her Time Baton.

"What are you looking at, criminal! Get ready to repent before the judge!"

"It's you! It's that group of people!"

Loki, like a powder keg that had been ignited, finally exploded, roaring with all his might:

"This is a trap! From beginning to end! A devil named Yu Mu! He used me to lure you out! He took your time tablets, and he wants to..."

The Black woman looked at the seemingly insane Loki with disdain and contempt. Just as the file described, he was a madman full of lies.

She couldn't even be bothered to listen anymore.

She looked up at the sky.

The weather is really nice today, not a cloud in the sky.

I suddenly have a craving for the beef burger from headquarters, a double one, topped with cheese and pickles.

The Black woman gave one last look at the desolate desert, waved to her subordinates, and gave the order.

"Fall back."

Amid Loki's desperate and piercing roar of "You will regret this!", the orange portal of light engulfed everyone.

The desert has returned to silence.

Along with the Space Stone, the only one remaining in this universe, it was brought into that mysterious cage that transcends time.
