The White Snake Sage, despite being an ancient survivor of the Kaguya Era and one of the Ninja World’s strongest beings, is terrified after Loki defeated it effortlessly three days earlier.
• Loki is disappointed by the world. He considers the Ninja World a weak, low-dimensional universe. Even its oldest and strongest beings fail to interest him, and he believes he could destroy the entire world if he wished. His only goals are to find the Time Stone and seize the world’s cosmic origin for study.
• He decides to create conflict for amusement.

His favorite method is indirect manipulation and watching others struggle under his schemes.
• Orochimaru returns with Sasuke.

• Sasuke’s confidence collapses. Loki sees Sasuke as too timid to be useful as a representative who could inherit his power and conquer the Ninja World. Orochimaru encourages Sasuke by reminding him that Loki can grant him unparalleled strength, while privately comparing him unfavorably with Ye Fan and becoming even more interested in possessing Ye Fan’s body.
