Loki: What Do You Mean Steve's Daughter Is Already in Her Teens?

When they learned that Bucky was indeed controlled by Hydra and had come specifically to kill and retrieve the goods, they were shocked.

Howard's gaze towards his son changed.

Good grief, you're the one who built the time machine! Steve and Lin knew to come and save me, and what did you do? You just stole a few bottles of Pym Particles?

On the plane, Tony couldn't stand the look in his father's eyes.

What are you doing?

"It's okay, I was just thinking about whether to give you another little brother or sister... um~"

Maria pinched Howard's thigh. "Who are you planning to have the baby with?"

"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding!"

Tony looked at his parents and shuddered. Graves!

He's decided he won't get married before he's fifty!

Then, he got up and went to stand opposite Lin Xu and Steve.

"Ahem, hey you, did you also get the Super Soldier Serum?"

Lin Xu pretended not to hear and continued chatting with Steve: "You said you have a daughter? How old is she, and what's her name?"

Steve looked at the fidgeting Tony across from him and chuckled. "Sharon Rogers, she's 12 years old."

"... How did you spell it?"

"SHARON."

"Holy crap, you're awesome! If I remember correctly, doesn't Peggy have a niece... also named Sharon?" (It's a transliteration issue; the pinyin is the same, but in China, to distinguish between the two, one is called Sharon and the other Sharon.)

"... You mean Sharon Carter, right? She's three years old!" Steve knew what Lin Xu meant. He had indeed dated Peggy's niece before the Civil War, but now, he only Peggy!

Lin Xu could only sigh, "No wonder it's a free country; their thinking is so open."

It's one thing for Hawkeye to name his youngest son after Natasha, but this is another—he named his daughter after his ex-girlfriend, who happens to be his wife's niece.

"Ahem, Lin?" Seeing that neither of them paid any attention to him, Tony raised his voice a little this time.

"Ah, Mr. Tony, were you calling me just now?"

"Yes, Lin... Butler..."

"Oh, remember to use proper titles next time. If you call someone 'so-and-so,' how will anyone know who you're calling? Okay, what's up?"

"... Did you also receive the Super Soldier Serum?"

"No."

Tony's eyes lit up upon hearing this answer.

The Super Soldier Serum amplifies a person's inner self. He knows himself, so he never craves that thing. But for someone who has never been injected with the serum to be so strong, there must be some other way.

"Cough cough, impossible. You didn't inject the serum, how could you be so strong? That guy with the metal arm clearly injected the serum, but he's like a toy in your hands."

"Just say you want to learn, no need to beat around the bush."

Can you teach me?

"I won't teach!"

"Huh? Why!"

"I'm just a butler; teaching you to become stronger is outside my professional scope."

Lin Xu squinted and exchanged a smile with Rogers.

"How about I hire you as my personal trainer? Whatever the old man pays, I'll double!"

"No, I do things purely based on my mood."

Tony held up one finger. "How about a hundred million?"

Lin Xu expressed doubt. "Do you even have a hundred million?"

"Why not?"

"You really don't!" Howard's voice came from behind.

Tony's eyes widened instantly; this was actually a backstab from his father.

He glanced at Howard, then at Lin Xu, and suddenly remembered the night they first met.

Good heavens, so this was what he was waiting for.

He wanted to get up, but at 20, he was full of energy. If he encountered something that interested him, he had to try to get it!

"Angke... Lin, I want to learn!"

"Pfft... cough cough, you want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Seeing Lin Xu's suppressed laughter, Tony vowed in his heart that when he completed his studies, he would definitely...

"Oh, and don't forget, exchange that 100 million for gold."

"Huh? I've already called you uncle!"

Even between uncle and nephew, accounts should be settled clearly!

Time Variance Authority

Mobius brought a plate of lime cake to Loki's desk.

"Have you found that lost timeline?" (See Chapter 24 for reference)

"No, that timeline wasn't lost; it just became independent!"

Hearing Loki's words, Mobius asked with some confusion, "What do you mean by 'going independent'?"

Loki, ignoring Mobius's disapproving look, snatched the cake, took a large bite for himself, and then said, "The Multiverse is vast; the Temporal Loom can't possibly capture all timelines. There are prerequisites!"

"What?"

"Besides the Main Universe, the only reason other branches could be included is that they lack a Time Manager—that is, God of Time! And that universe acquired its own God of Time during the inclusion process, therefore, it became independent!"

"God? Just like you used to be?"

"Hahaha, what kind of gods are Asgard Jotunheim? They're just a group of powerful creatures with special abilities."

Loki recalled the future he saw, where he was crushed to death by Thanos.

What kind of god is one that can be killed?

"Speaking of which, that person's method of becoming a god was quite ruthless. He integrated his entire being into time. If things hadn't gone well, his consciousness would have been erased, and he would have become nourishment for time. Fortunately, he succeeded!"

Upon hearing Loki's words, Mobius was equally moved, marveling at the sheer strength of that will to withstand the erosion of an entire timeline!

"Mobius, is this what you came here for?"

"Oh, if you hadn't asked, I would have forgotten. Do you remember stowaway A-12?"

"You mean TVA is managing Steve Rogers outside the universe? No problem, let him relax for a while. When the time comes, I'll send him away."

"That's where the problem lies!"

Mobius, quick as a flash, snatched the last piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. "Mmm~ that timeline is beyond our control!"

"Another person has become a god? Wait, I feel like it's still around."

"The timeline hasn't deviated, it's just..."

"Explain..."

"Our people can't get through! To be precise, they can't arbitrarily go to the past or future of any timeline. Right now, there's only one point in time they can go to, and that point in time is progressing in an orderly manner!"

Upon hearing this, Loki abruptly stood up. What did he mean by saying that the Time Variance Authority could only go to one point in the universes it had collected?

He closed his eyes, ready to try it himself.

A minute passed.

Loki opened his eyes, and he felt completely unwell.

It's actually true!

Why does this happen?

Could it be that a powerful being beyond the multiverse entered that timeline? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

In his view, only such people possess the uniqueness of time and space, which can be used to block any prying eyes.

Mobius added insult to injury, "What's worse is that the point in time that could be reached was twenty-one years after Steve Rogers, and his children are practically all grown up!"

"Shit!! No, I have to go check it out!"

Godfathers, could you please give this a good review?
