Loki was in an awkward position now—he had indeed expected his other self to have a way of dealing with those... idiots.
TVA agents only knew how to look down on people. Their time-manipulation technology was impressive, but they were all ordinary people. Once they returned to the real world, a carefully planned ambush could catch them completely off guard.
And he had tested it himself: his magic worked. Magic might be suppressed inside the TVA, but those field agents knew nothing about magic.
After all, the TVA's true advantage was its omnipresence.
Sure enough, that female version of himself had dealt with them and even prepared a grand gift for them, attacking the Sacred Timeline by deploying reset charges.
He had originally wanted to prove that he was superior by finding her first, then persuade her to help him become the Dominator of the TVA and seize the most powerful force in the universe. Who would have thought that woman had no intention of paying him any attention at all?
Sylvie used the stolen time-travel device to open a transparent door, then stepped inside. Loki could only grit his teeth and follow her.
Who would have thought... the other side of the portal was the TVA!
What the hell was this woman doing? Walking straight into a trap?
Loki began considering whether he should change tactics—capture that woman first, earn the TVA's trust, and infiltrate their ranks.
The way was littered with Time Guards who had been knocked down—in the Time Variance Authority, everyone was an ordinary person. This place limited the energy anyone could exert to the level of an ordinary person.
That proved the woman's hand-to-hand skills were formidable, but that was all—did she really think she could slaughter her way through and kill the Time Keepers?
