Chapter Summaries

Rocket and the others built a Telekinetic Amplifier that let Sylvie unleash vastly stronger possession magic, though using it nearly overwhelmed her. After the team lured Alioth with a chaotic Deadpool spectacle, Su Ming gave the order to begin their plan.

• Rocket finished building the Telekinetic Amplifier, and Sylvie agreed to test it on Su Ming.
• The amplifier magnified Sylvie's magic, but the strain forced her to stop after briefly taking control of Su Ming.
• Su Ming supplied energy for the amplifier after Rocket discovered the machine had run out of power.
• Su Ming and the Deadpool elder started the operation, sending dozens of Deadpools into a noisy spectacle to attract Alioth.
• Alioth charged into the chaos and swallowed several Deadpools, and Su Ming ordered the others to act.

Su Ming, Sylvie, and their allies opened a passage through Alioth and rushed toward an ancient castle. On Earth, Scott Lang returned from the Quantum Realm with an idea for reversing the Snap, and Banner began testing it after Tony refused to help.

• Su Ming protected the Deadpools from Alioth while Sylvie invaded the creature's mind, and together they forced open a passage to an ancient castle.
• Rocket urged the group onward, and the surviving Deadpools, Rocket Squad, Deadpool, and Sylvie rushed through the passage.
• Scott Lang arrived at the Avengers base and explained that five hours in the Quantum Realm had equaled five years outside, suggesting they use the time difference to bring back those lost in the Snap.
• Steve, Natasha, and Scott visited Tony Stark, but he refused to help because he wanted to protect Morgan.
• Banner agreed to investigate the time-travel plan, but an unstable test caused Scott to rapidly age and become a baby before Banner shut down the experiment.

At the End of Time, Sylvie rallied the group against Ms. Minutes’ offer, while Ravonna learned the truth about the TVA and chose to defend the Sacred Timeline. The travelers met the mysterious man waiting in the castle, whose knowledge of every possible future let him evade Deadpool’s attacks.

• Su Ming identified the castle as the End of Time, and Ms. Minutes offered everyone a perfect destiny if they left.
• Sylvie rejected Ms. Minutes’ offer and reminded the group that the TVA had stolen their lives and could control their futures.
• Ms. Minutes sent Ravonna a file revealing the TVA’s origins and the employees’ former identities, including Ravonna’s; Ravonna decided that the Sacred Timeline had to be protected.
• The group continued through the castle and met a courteous man who invited them to his office.
• Deadpool attacked the man twice but missed both times, and the man explained that he had read every possible future.

Conqueror Kang revealed how he controlled the Sacred Timeline with a script that recorded everyone’s actions, then offered Sylvie a choice between replacing him and killing him. Sylvie killed him unexpectedly, and the Sacred Timeline began to collapse as its branches multiplied.

• Conqueror Kang explained his control over timelines and revealed that he was also known as He Who Remains and the Timekeepers.
• Deadpool challenged Kang’s claim to control the story, and Su Ming found that Kang’s manuscript matched events but contained extensive fresh revisions.
• Kang offered Sylvie the choice of taking his place or killing him and unleashing other Conqueror Kangs across the Multiverse.
• Sylvie seized a Deadpool’s blade and stabbed Kang before he could finish his prepared farewell.
• Kang died confused as Deadpool mocked him, and the Sacred Timeline sprouted branches across the castle.

After He Who Remains died, the Multiverse opened and sent the TVA into chaos. As Su Ming sent the exiles back to their timelines, Ravonna learned she had helped create the TVA and decided to seize control of it.

• Su Ming took He Who Remains's Time Controller and led the group through a Time Door as the Sacred Timeline split into countless branches.
• At the TVA, Mobius explained that the timelines were merging and that returning to their original homes might be dangerous.
• Su Ming arranged for Rocket and the other exiles to receive Time Controllers and return to their timelines.
• Ravonna read an encrypted file from Miss Minutes and learned that she had fought alongside He Who Remains and helped establish the TVA before he erased her memories.
• Miss Minutes urged Ravonna to use the chaos to take control, and Ravonna vowed to reclaim the TVA.

Su Ming and the returning variants learned that their timelines had become dangerous, and Rocket described escaping a nuclear strike in his own world. The group sought answers from OB, who explained that Temporal Hidden Force was nearing collapse and that a burned-out cable needed repair, while Deadpool demanded a boss to fight.

• The Deadpool and Rocket variants returned to the TVA after finding their home timelines hostile and complained about what they had encountered.
• The main-universe Rocket emerged badly scorched and told Su Ming that Harry Osborn had allied with extremist mutants, who killed heroes before a nuclear strike forced Rocket to flee.
• Rocket explained that Hulk had lost his anger-fueled growth after merging with Banner and had been among the first Avengers defeated.
• Su Ming decided the group had to address the temporal chaos, and Mobius led them to OB for an explanation.
• OB said Temporal Hidden Force supported the TVA and Sacred Timeline, warned that its overloaded system could reset everything, and identified a burned-out cable that needed outside repair.
• Deadpool asked for a final boss to chop up, and Su Ming pointed out that there probably was no such boss.

Su Ming healed Rocket, then joined Sylvie, Mobius, Rocket, and Deadpool on a mission to replace a damaged cable at the End of Time. When temporal turbulence wrecked their time boat and stretched the crew, Su Ming shielded them and effortlessly carried the replacement cable, while Deadpool's recovery ended with Sylvie kicking him.

• Su Ming healed Rocket's burns and restored his fur, and Rocket praised him as the best healer for dungeon pioneering.
• OB explained that the damaged cable lay in the dangerous core of temporal turbulence and proposed using a time boat to carry a replacement.
• Rocket volunteered to help, and Su Ming, Sylvie, Mobius, Rocket, and Deadpool boarded the boat with the heavy cable.
• A powerful temporal current breached the boat, stretching Deadpool, Mobius, and Rocket while Sylvie's magical barrier shattered.
• Su Ming created a golden barrier that protected the crew, kicked Deadpool inside it, and carried the replacement cable effortlessly toward the damaged one.
• Deadpool joked about his stretched body, and Sylvie blushed before kicking his chin and turning his head around.

Su Ming and his team returned to the TVA after repairing the cable, only to find Ravonna and Miss Minutes staging a coup and promoting Victor Timely as their new leader. OB warned that the repair was only temporary and identified Victor as their best hope for upgrading the system, while Su Ming concealed a new power over time.

• Ravonna gave young Victor Timely a TVA manual, then later brought him to the TVA and worked with Miss Minutes to shape him into their chosen leader.
• Ravonna had Cassie abducted, forced Hunter Roxxon to reveal the team's whereabouts, and imprisoned Roxxon as she began purging TVA employees who opposed her.
• Su Ming, Mobius, Sylvie, Rocket, and Deadpool returned to the TVA and found Miss Minutes broadcasting propaganda for Ravonna's new leadership.
• The team told OB that they had repaired the cable, but he explained that the system's design could not withstand the branching timelines and would eventually collapse.
• OB identified Victor Timely as the variant of He Who Remains who might upgrade or reset the system, and Su Ming recognized that Ravonna and Miss Minutes had already been cultivating him.
• Su Ming's hidden hand briefly glowed with the power of time, and he reflected that the side quest had granted him an unexpected gain.

Su Ming absorbed time power from the Time Storm, then used it to erase TVA guards who attacked the group. They found Victor Timely in the nineteenth century, where Deadpool beat him for refusing to cooperate, and Su Ming remained confident he could handle the situation.

• Su Ming absorbed some of the Time Storm's power, which fused with his Golden Core and seemed to loosen the threshold to the fifth layer of the Soul Resonance Art.

• Su Ming and the others traveled through a Time Door to the nineteenth century to find Victor Timely.

• Deadpool stopped Rocket from attacking Victor, then punched Victor himself until Mobius pulled him away.
• Mobius asked Su Ming what to do, and Su Ming smiled and moved one finger slightly.

Su Ming let Victor Timely escape after secretly planting a command that would activate when Victor took the Time Throne. Victor briefly controlled the timelines before the command made him release them, collapsing the Temporal Hidden Force and leaving Su Ming poised to claim the throne himself.

• Miss Minutes exiled Judge Ravonna to Knowhere and persuaded the ambitious future Victor to follow her to the throne.
• Su Ming's group spared the young Victor Timely, who passed the TVA Handbook to his grandson, the child Victor von Doom.
• Years later, Miss Minutes brought the middle-aged Victor Timely to the TVA, where he endured the temporal power and took the Time Throne.
• Su Ming's hidden command activated, making Victor release the timelines and destroy himself as the Temporal Hidden Force collapsed.
• The collapse scattered Miss Minutes's projection, while Su Ming revealed that he had used Victor to prepare the throne for himself.

Su Ming took control of the Time Throne as the Story God, stabilizing the Multiverse’s collapsing timelines. After Mobius returned to his own timeline and Sylvie chose to stay with the Galaxy Guard Corps, Su Ming led the others through a Time Door to go home.

• Su Ming manifested a Dharma Giant and seated it on the Time Throne, restoring order to the timelines.
• Sylvie slapped and kneed Deadpool after he made crude remarks, knocking him onto Rocket.
• Mobius sensed his timeline calling him back, said goodbye, and returned to the ordinary life he had wanted.
• Sylvie chose to remain with Su Ming and join the Galaxy Guard Corps instead of returning to her timeline.
• Rocket welcomed Sylvie to the team but protested when Deadpool tried to join.
• Su Ming opened a stable Time Door, and the group stepped through to go home.

Su Ming returned to Earth, where Shenron reunited with Earth's Will and the Heirloom Seal of the Realm awakened old memories. Earth's Will revealed that the seal had once been Primordial Dragon-Vein Essence from her eastern continental plate, then bristled at Su Ming's awkward question about where it came from.

• When Su Ming returned to Earth, purple qi flowed into the Heirloom Seal of the Realm and restored its radiance.
• Earth's Will summoned Su Ming to her domain, recognized Shenron as Little Green, and watched it regain its full size before tearfully reuniting with her.

• The Earth girl told Su Ming how Shenron and the Heirloom Seal of the Realm had both become connected to her earthly energy and were lost in the Time Variance Authority warehouse.
• The Earth girl welcomed Shenron and the Jade Seal back, recognizing them as pieces of herself that Su Ming had brought home.

• Tony and Steve made peace and agreed to find the Stones while protecting the life they had now; Tony then opened his car's trunk.

Tony returned Steve’s shield, while Su Ming received the Heirloom Seal of the Realm’s power and broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage. A mysterious key and coordinates led him toward a hidden chamber in the Kunlun Mountains, as Earth’s Will revealed that opening its door would determine his fate.

• Earth’s Will watched Su Ming depart and said the key had been delivered, the door would soon open, and the rest depended on his fate.

The Avengers prepared a Time Heist to restore those erased by Thanos, while Su Ming discovered he could not simply rewrite the timeline without risking reality. At Kunlun, he found that the events ahead and even his own fate had become obscured.

• Su Ming searched the timeline for what awaited him in the Kunlun Secret Chamber but found the events blank and his own fate blurred.

Su Ming uncovered the hidden underground palace in Kunlun and found an immense army of ceramic warriors. Meanwhile, Galactus awakened and headed for the TVA, while the Avengers began their time-travel mission to retrieve the Infinity Stones.

• Su Ming descended into the underground palace and discovered a vast kingdom filled with ceramic warriors from unfamiliar civilizations.

Su Ming explored an underground palace, where its commander mistook him for the reincarnated king. Su Ming found the real king sleeping in a coffin, hauled him out and slapped him into submission, leaving Zhen Chou to realize his long wait had been unnecessary.

• The king admitted he had been sleeping in the back and had built the palace to trick people into guarding his tomb, while Zhen Chou began thinking about leaving his post.

Su Ming questioned the emperor’s soul and Commander Zhen Chou about a huge tree and a distant palace, then left to continue searching for the real Kunlun Mystic Realm. Meanwhile, the Avengers traveled back to New York in 2012 to collect the Infinity Stones, where they encountered their past selves and a rampaging Hulk.

• The emperor’s soul told Su Ming that a huge tree and a grand palace lay above the underground palace, but he could not explain how to reach them.
