End of Time

In a dim world that resembled a junkyard, Black Widow appeared out of thin air. Looking around, she muttered, "So this is the End of Time?"

"Good thing Blood God was cautious. Otherwise, all this would have been for nothing."

Black Widow shook her head and waited where she was for Blood God to arrive.

On Earth in Wakanda, Wang Bert, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and said, "I found the End of Time. Just as I expected, it’s an abandoned Timeline attached to this universe."

Tony said excitedly, "Great! Bert, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take us there to bring back Captain."

"You don’t need to go. That place is a little dangerous. I’ll go alone."

Wang Bert shook his head and said, "Unless something unexpected happens, I’ll be back soon. Wait here for a while."

Everyone nodded. "All right."

"I wanted to see Captain looking miserable."

Tony was a little annoyed. Wang Bert could not be bothered with him and merged with Sentinels, traveling through the Timeline into the End of Time.

Since the coordinates were on Black Widow, Wang Bert appeared beside her. He said, "Natasha, you’ve worked hard."

Black Widow smiled. "You got here fast. Let’s hurry and find Steve. I hope he’s all right."

"Okay."

Wang Bert nodded, grabbed Black Widow’s arm, and flew into the sky with her to search for Steve and Spider-Man.

"Why does the End of Time look like a junkyard?"

Black Widow looked below and asked in surprise. Wang Bert said, "Isn’t a Timeline that has reached its end basically a junkyard? Huh…"

Black Widow hurriedly asked, "Did you find Steve?"

"I found him. There are quite a few interesting people around him."

Wang Bert smiled. The Light of the Mind could cover an entire continent, so finding Steve this quickly was perfectly normal.

Then, Wang Bert traveled through space and appeared in front of Steve and the others, smiling. "Surprise!"

Everyone jumped in fright and hurriedly backed away. At that moment, Steve spotted Black Widow and shouted in delight, "Natasha!"

Steve did not recognize Wang Bert because Wang Bert was currently merged with Sentinels and looked like a robot.

"Steve, why are you so happy? Her showing up here means she became a prisoner like us. You should be sad."

Teen Loki said. Teen Loki was Loki’s temporal variant. He had successfully killed Thor as a child and was therefore captured by the Time Variance Authority.

"That does seem right."

Steve sighed and said, "I didn’t expect Tony to go after you too."

Black Loki drooled as he said, "Good that he did. I haven’t seen such a hot beauty in a long time. Beauty, before you die, let’s have some fun."

"What do you mean by that? Am I not a beauty?"

Lady Loki, Sylvie, who had two large front teeth, asked unhappily. Black Loki retorted, "You’re Loki too. No matter how bad I am, I wouldn’t make a move on myself."

Black Widow asked in astonishment, "Don’t tell me you’re all Lokis?"

Spider-Man, who was not wearing his mask and was dressed in ordinary clothes, looking somewhat haggard, said, "That’s right. They’re all Lokis: Teen Loki, Black Loki, Lady Loki, Old Loki. Oh, and this is Alligator Loki.

"Besides them, we’ve also met Hulk Loki, Hammer God Loki, and so on."

"Hulk Loki? Hammer God Loki?"

Wang Bert said thoughtfully, "So Loki didn’t use the Reality Stone to give himself Hulk blood. He borrowed the power of his variants instead."

"Your voice sounds familiar."

Steve blinked, then shouted in delight, "Blood God!"

Wang Bert stepped out of Sentinels and laughed heartily. "Steve, long time no see."

"Great, you finally came."

Steve excitedly wanted to step forward and hug Wang Bert, but Wang Bert dodged. He said disdainfully, "Captain, how many days has it been since you showered? You stink."

Steve laughed. "Many, many days. Water is extremely scarce here."

"Blood God, it’s great that you came."

Spider-Man was also excited. Blood God’s arrival meant they could finally leave this damned place.

Teen Loki said, "Steve, why do you never learn? I told you, now is the time to be sad."

"No, we should be happy. With Blood God here, we’ll definitely be able to leave this place."

Steve smiled. "If I’m not mistaken, Blood God and Natasha came specifically to rescue us."

Wang Bert said, "You guessed right. To save you, our Miss Natasha voluntarily sacrificed herself and delivered herself right to Old Tony for him to kill."

"Natasha, thank you."

Steve and Spider-Man were both deeply grateful. Black Widow waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite. We’re all on the same side."

Old Loki asked suspiciously, "Can you really take us out? Who are you? I don’t remember anyone like you in this universe."

"I’m not from your universe. I won’t go into the details."

Wang Bert waved his hand and asked, "By the way, why are there so many Lokis at the End of Time?"

Teen Loki said, "Because we’re good at escaping. Unlike everyone else, who all died."

"Died? Is this place dangerous?"

Wang Bert asked.

Steve said, "There’s a storm monster here called Alioth. It can devour all life and energy. We’ve been hiding from it."

"Alioth?"

Wang Bert narrowed his eyes slightly. Thinking of something, he shook his head and said, "We can talk about that later. Let’s leave first. Lokis, do you want to leave with us? Thor might be very happy to see you."

"Are you sure?"

Teen Loki sneered. Spider-Man remarked, "Mr. Thor would only think Hell had arrived."

Sylvie said irritably, "Brat, why are you speaking such hard truths?"

Everyone laughed. Black Loki said, "If we can leave, of course we want to. I’ve had enough of this shitty place."

The other Lokis all nodded. Wang Bert stopped wasting words and merged with Sentinels again. Then, he circled his hands, and a time vortex quickly appeared. He said, "Go in."

"Thanks, Blood God."

Without another word, Steve immediately jumped into the time vortex. Black Widow and Spider-Man followed right after him. Seeing Steve and the others jump in, the Lokis were completely reassured and prepared to follow them into the time vortex.

At that moment, the time vortex was forcibly erased by a burst of power. Wang Bert’s expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to travel through time. However, this Timeline had been sealed by the Six Infinity Stones.

Wang Bert cursed, "Old Tony, what’s so great about having Infinity Stones?"

"Having Infinity Stones is of course great. Blood God, I never expected you to walk right into my trap."

Old Tony’s excited voice rang out from the sky. "Haha, this makes things easy. Without you, no one else can stop me."

Wang Bert asked, "You discovered the problem early on?"

"No. I have to say, Black Widow’s acting was perfect. I didn’t notice anything wrong at all."

Old Tony said, "But I made arrangements in the End of Time. Whenever anyone leaves, I can sense it.

"After I discovered you had entered the End of Time, I immediately set up the Six Infinity Stones. Although Steve and Parker escaped, it doesn’t matter. I’ll catch them again soon.

"Blood God, stay there obediently. Once I finish saving the world, I’ll send you back to the Main Universe."

Wang Bert said unhappily, "You’ve improved quite a bit. Tony from our universe could never have been this meticulous."

"He lived too happily. Unlike me, who has suffered disasters all my life."

Old Tony sighed and said, "I won’t chat with you anymore. Those Super Heroes will soon come to keep you company."

After saying that, Old Tony’s consciousness left the End of Time. Next, he went to the laboratory Time Room and asked Ultron, who was soaking in genetic life fluid, "How is your progress?"

"I still need three days of real time to finish completely."

Ultron said. Three days of real time equaled one month in the Time Room.

"It’s not a problem. Without Blood God, they can’t stop me. Continue the transplant. I’ll fight this battle myself."

After saying that, Old Tony left the laboratory to find Loki and told her to prepare for war. Loki asked in astonishment, "Are you confident you can deal with Blood God now?"

Old Tony looked at Loki with a faint smile. "Blood God somehow learned of the End of Time and went there to save people. I trapped him there."

Loki’s heart skipped a beat, but nothing changed on her face. She said impatiently, "Blood God is incredibly powerful. The End of Time might not be able to hold him. We should immediately send troops to deal with Wakanda."

Old Tony did not notice anything and said, "That’s right. We’ll immediately take the Eternals’ Domo into battle and crush Wakanda in one stroke."

"Okay."

Loki nodded, secretly sighing. Fatty, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. You’ve already lost. Asgard can only stand with the victor.

In Wakanda, Steve, Black Widow, and Spider-Man appeared one after another. Tony and the others were overjoyed. Nick Fury sighed, "Captain, it’s great that you’re all right."

"Fury, that doesn’t sound like something you’d say."

Steve laughed. Strange waited for a while, and when no one else teleported back, he frowned and asked, "Where’s Blood God? Why didn’t he come back with you?"

Black Widow said, "He opened a time vortex to send us back. Logically, he should have come after us."

Spider-Man said, "Not only did Blood God not come back, the Lokis didn’t either."

"Something happened."

Strange cried out in alarm. Everyone’s expressions changed. If something had happened to Blood God, they were finished.

Just then, a Mental Projection emerged from the ground. It was Wang Bert. He said, "The main body was tricked by Old Tony and can’t return for now. I’m a Mental Projection the main body left behind in advance."

Everyone was stunned. "Tricked by Old Tony?"

Wang Bert briefly explained what had happened, then said, "The main body is figuring out how to escape the End of Time. You don’t need to worry. What you need to do now is prepare for war. After trapping me, Old Tony will definitely send troops to attack you."

Nick Fury’s expression changed. "That’s right. With you gone, Old Tony will definitely attack Wakanda."

"We need to notify Black Panther and Thor to prepare for battle."

Tony shouted, "Old Tony will come very quickly."

"Okay."

Nick Fury and Black Widow immediately ran out to inform everyone. Steve sighed and said, "It seems we dragged you into this."

"Captain, rescuing you was our duty. No need to say more."

Wang Bert smiled. "Besides, I’m not entirely unprepared. Old Tony won’t get any advantage."

Everyone was delighted. "Really?"

"Of course it’s true. Captain, get some rest and prepare for battle. Once the battle is over, I have quite a few questions for you."

Wang Bert said, "For example, the Time Variance Authority, and what happened between you and Old Tony."

"You can ask Sylvie those questions. She’s been with us the whole time."

Steve said, "In fact, without her, we could never have met Kang the Conqueror."

"Kang the Conqueror? That name is interesting. My main body will ask her."

Wang Bert nodded. No one wasted any more time, and they all went out to make preparations.

At the End of Time, Wang Bert sensed the information sent over by the projection and turned to Sylvie. "Sylvie, Captain said you know about Tony and the Time Variance Authority. Can you tell me about both in detail?"

"What good would telling you do? The End of Time has been completely sealed off."

Sylvie said dejectedly. If only she had been the first to jump in just now. The other Lokis felt the same. A chance for freedom had once been placed before them, but they had not cherished it. Only after losing it did they regret it beyond measure.

Wang Bert smiled. "Just treat it as casual conversation. Besides, we might not be unable to get out."

Teen Loki said, "Whether you want to chat or not, we should move. My instincts are telling me Alioth is coming this way."

"Okay."

Everyone nodded and began relocating. Along the way, Sylvie asked, "What do you want to hear about?"

Wang Bert said, "Start from the beginning."

"That works."

Sylvie said, "Simply put, the Time Variance Authority is an organization that maintains the Sacred Timeline. They do not allow time to branch. Once an anomaly appears, they capture the Time Criminal and use instruments to restore the Timeline to normal.

"I’m a Time Criminal because Loki was supposed to be male, not female."

Teen Loki added, "I’m a Time Criminal too, because I killed Thor. In the Sacred Timeline, Thor was only stabbed."

"So are we."

The other Lokis nodded. Wang Bert stroked his chin. Could this Sacred Timeline be the movie Timeline? "I’m different from them. They were sent to the End of Time by the Time Variance Authority, while I stole a time watch during my trial and escaped."

Sylvie said, "At first, the Time Variance Authority chased me until I was in a complete mess. Later, I discovered that if I hid in disasters, the Time Variance Authority couldn’t find me. That was how I grew up while hiding from them.

"Once I gained enough strength, I began taking revenge on the Time Variance Authority. I wanted to destroy them completely, because they ruined my life."

Wang Bert nodded. "I understand. If it were me, I would have done the same."

"Exactly."

Sylvie glanced at Wang Bert and nodded. "However, the Time Variance Authority was very powerful, and my resistance achieved little until I met Steve, Tony, and another Lady Loki, who were also being hunted by the Time Variance Authority."
