Loki: Un... Uncle...
In the afternoon, Lin Xu sat cross-legged in the room Steve had arranged for him, performing his daily divine power conversion.
Through tireless efforts, he now possesses 0.25 O power within his body, with 2.45 O power remaining in the Sub-Dimension (of which 0.2 strengthened his physical body, and 0.1 was lost during the second O power phase).
Suddenly, an inexplicable flutter of emotion welled up inside me.
Immediately afterwards, the Eye of Agamotto and the Hoggoth's Bone Armor hanging on his chest began to heat up, and the folding fan that had transformed into Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade also began to tremble.
Only the Crimson Cloak hung on the hanger, motionless.
What happened?
Knock knock knock...
There was a sudden knock on the front door!
Loki, standing outside the door, was in a terrible mood.
He thought, if only he hadn't picked up that damned Tesseract, he could have lived a peaceful few years and died like a man.
It's better than all the endless busyness I've had at TVA over the years.
He had the opportunity to directly achieve multiverse, but he gave it up because, in his view, every Loki in the Multiverse has their own life, and they are all independent individuals. He couldn't be so selfish!
Yes, he would never admit that he simply didn't want Sylvie (the Lady Loki) to disappear. (It makes sense, though; Loki can't fall in love with anyone else, he only loves himself, so the writers gave him a Lady Loki.)
So, as someone Half-Step Multiversal Peak Great Perfection, he's been quite exhausted these past few years, especially in situations like the one he's in now. He's even considering retirement...
Not only did Steve have a daughter, but Howard didn't die either, and there was also the Winter Soldier in the house—that's all.
But can someone tell him why he just sensed the power of Odinforce in Steve's house?
Suppressing his fatigue, Loki knocked on the door.
Creak~
Hello, is there anything I can help you with?
"No... something's wrong, it's you guys..."
Steve, hiding behind the door, sensed something was wrong when he heard the sound; it sounded so familiar!
He cautiously poked half his head out and immediately met Loki's gaze.
Steve's heart sank.
Holy crap, it's Loki? Wasn't he dead? No, he's still alive at this point. What's he doing here?
Then, Steve's eyes lit up. He wasn't looking for me!
Just then, Lin Xu opened the door and came out.
Steve pulled Carter aside. He'd heard that Loki had been vying for the throne of Asgard, and Lin Xu, being his uncle, should also have a right to inherit.
As a mortal, it's best for him not to get involved in the struggle for the Asgard throne.
Loki looked in the direction of the sound of the door opening.
An Asian Asgardians?
He was certain that he had never seen this person before, neither in the ancient Asgard nor in the universe recorded in TVA.
"Hoo... Al-oil?"
Meanwhile, Lin Xu was equally bewildered. Why was Loki here at this time? This didn't match the Easter egg he had seen!
Oh no, do I have to go fight Doctor Doom too?
Lin Xu.
He knew that Loki was someone he couldn't defeat at the moment, so he refrained from revealing the name Asgard.
But there are always bad people out there!
"You don't know him?" Steve was unaware of the lie Lin Xu had told Thor, so in his view, even if Lin Xu was Bor's illegitimate son, as long as Thor knew him, Loki should know him too.
It can't be that Lin Xu only returned to his ancestral home after Loki died.
Lin Xu: That was a good reasoning, don't try to deduce it again next time...
Loki looked puzzled. "Should we know each other?"
Who exactly are you?
"Fengxian Borsen..."
Loki remained silent.
If it were before he joined TVA, he might have had doubts, but now he's seen it all.
Let's not even mention the older Loki, Crocodile Loki, and Lady Loki; there's even a universe where his Thor has an affair with Deadpool, that rotten avocado. (From Deadpool & Wolverine)
In one timeline, Bor has an Asian illegitimate child, which doesn't seem so hard to accept...
After all, the Odinforce he just sensed outside couldn't be faked.
"... Did you interfere with the timeline?"
"I didn't, it wasn't me, don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Xu immediately denied it three times and put his hands behind his back, thinking that if Loki made a mistake, he would immediately enter the Quantum Realm and return to the Main Universe.
However, Loki on the other side also dared not make any rash moves, not to mention that this person might be his uncle by blood.
Given their method of sealing off timelines, he wasn't sure of their strength; a direct confrontation might be too much for them...
"Fengxian... Uncle..."
"Eh... cough cough... what's wrong?"
"Steve has to leave! His presence has already affected this timeline... and of course, his daughter, and the Howards."
"Sure, this is your territory, you call the shots. But where can they go? Won't that affect the timeline they arrive at?"
"Indeed, it would be fine if it were just Steve, but with Howard and his wife, it's really hard to find a place."
Suddenly, Loki's eyes lit up.
"I see you're wearing the Eye of Agamotto on your chest. You should know about Agamotto, right?"
"... not very familiar..."
"In one universe, Agamotto became the god of time. His timeline is very stable, so adding a few people wouldn't be a problem. I can send them there."
This feels so familiar! Could it be...?
Lin Xu tentatively asked, "Logan's 1.6 meters tall?"
"Hmm? You know?"
Really!
He knew, of course, that the Eye of Agamotto on his chest and the Book of the Vishanti's Divine Power Transformation chapter in his mind were both gifts from Agamotto.
He's such a wonderful person!
"I've heard of it."
"I heard? Who told you?"
"... Watcher Uatu."
Although lying to the God of Mischief is a bit of a blunder, I do miss Uatu a little.
Loki thought to himself, "Just as I thought. How could someone who isn't multiverse possibly know the Watcher!"
Fortunately, no violence was used.
"And what about you? The timeline of TVA is too fragile, perhaps..."
"Okay, then I'll go with them..."
"In that case, I'll wait for you outside. We'll set off in an hour."
After Loki left, Steve, who was still confused, quickly went to Lin Xu's side.
What exactly is going on?
"You went to someone's house, and now the homeowner is kicking you out."
"What does that mean? Loki has taken over the Earth?"
"..."
It seems you haven't read any serious books these past few years. Loki explained it so clearly, yet you still don't understand...
"Alright, you and Carter go pack your things. I'll go wake Howard and the others. Tsk tsk tsk, after all that, Tony is still going to lose his beloved father. Poor Tony!"
"It's really pitiful. He called you 'uncle,' but in the end, he didn't teach him a single move."
