TVA.

The orderly office fell silent immediately upon Chen Ji's sudden visit.

Everyone stared at the uninvited guest.

Hearing that the uninvited guest was actually invited by the God Loki, he found it all incredibly unbelievable!

Even Mobius had never seen Loki, who maintained the Temporal Hidden Force. How did he manage to see him? And from which universe did Loki come?

"May I have your name?"

What evidence do you have?

Mobius scrutinized him.

He had never met Chen Ji.

However, his appearance in TVA also proves that Chen Ji possesses extraordinary abilities!

"This tattoo is the proof."

"Mobius."

Don't be nervous.

"Loki knows everything and controls everything. If I were truly a threat, I would likely have been eliminated by Loki before even stepping into TVA."

"Isn't that right?"

Chen Ji smiled.

Immediately, he displayed the World Tree Tattoo on his left wrist, extending to his forearm, before Mobius's eyes.

Mobius's eyes widened in realization.

World Tree!

This is the symbol of the God Loki!

The allure in everyone's hearts subsided somewhat, but they were still filled with suspicion.

"You're here to protect TVA?"

Who exactly are you?

"TVA..."

What dangers will we face?

Mobius frowned.

The only threat that could make God Loki war, feel apprehensive is probably Multiversal War!

Any danger is possible.

"As for which universe I come from, you should be able to find that out."

"I won't stay here for long."

"Even in my universe, there are tricky situations."

Chen Ji shrugged.

My most vivid memory of TVA is still a drawer full of Infinity Stones!

Infinity Stones.

Will it work in other universes?

If he could find all six Infinity Stones in TVA, wouldn't he be able to directly resolve the cataclysmic events in the Weird World and reshape it?

Will it bring a major turning point to the fate of this Weird World?

"You're from Earth-996?"

"This world..."

"It seems there's another Kang among them."

B15 picked up the Time Tablet, scanned Chen Ji, and immediately found out his background.

In order to plan and manage all the Multiverse.

TVA assigned a numerical designation to almost every timeline.

Just like the Time Keeper in TVA, they don't call each other by name, but by code names.

The twenty-six letters of the alphabet represent the twenty-six departments of TVA.

There are units responsible for logistics, frontline operations, surveillance, and even combat units that are subject to downsizing.

At present.

TVA does not have a true master, but rather adopts a parliamentary system to discuss events in the Multiverse.

Perhaps...

God Loki, brought this uninvited guest to TVA because he realized that TVA was leaderless!

You can call me... Chen.

"I am the Acting Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj."

"I won't overturn everything in TVA, but I need a Time Tablet, and... the Infinity Stones."

Chen Ji's eyes flickered.

Time Tablet!

It is capable of monitoring and performing time travel.

In theory.

This Time Tablet should record all the timelines covered by the Multiversal Tree.

If the technology of the Time Tablet could be transplanted into the Energy Ring, then the Energy Ring would be upgraded again, becoming even closer to the Green Lantern Ring from the DC Universe!

"Infinity Stones?"

Employee Casey scratched her head, looking apologetic.

After Loki liberated the timeline, the Multiversal Tree was born, and the Infinity Stones in the drawer disappeared along with it.

Seem...

The Infinity Stones automatically returned to their respective original universes.

After all, the Infinity Stones come from different timelines.

TVA's editing system can cut off the timeline, but it cannot cut off the Infinity Stones!

"... disappeared?"

Chen Ji frowned.

He had expected to see a drawer full of Infinity Stones.

Unexpectedly, the Infinity Stones disappeared!

This...

That's understandable.

The Infinity Stones themselves possess power, so it wouldn't be surprising if anything happened after the magic suppressor was removed in TVA.

"You want Time Tablet?"

"Are you planning to mess up the timeline?"

Just as Mobius was about to submit his resignation, he suddenly encountered a visiting Mystic Arts Mage.

He couldn't afford to be careless about this matter.

Because TVA had just gotten back on track, he also received a message from Loki that Kang's presence had appeared in the vicinity of Earth-616.

Furthermore, on Earth-996, where Chen Ji resides, there is also a variant of Kang!

He couldn't help but suspect Chen's true identity and background.

Mobius witnessed Loki's feat of wielding the timeline and becoming the God of Time, sacrificing his own freedom to preserve the free will of the Multiverse.

He believes it is his responsibility to uphold TVA and defend Loki's ideals!

However.

Chen in front of me...

Aside from his handsome face, he seems to have nothing else to offer.

How do you know us?

"You've never been to TVA, so you couldn't possibly know us."

B15 belatedly realized something was amiss.

Nothing is impossible.

"My time is limited."

"If I truly harbored ill intentions, I could have easily killed you all without a magic suppressor."

A smile appeared on Chen Ji's face.

Immediately, he conjured a Ring of Ragadol with his bare hands.

Long before Loki reorganized TVA, TVA had already shut down its magic suppressor.

"OB."

Is he telling the truth?

B15 looked at an Asian man wearing black-rimmed glasses.

It's true!

"Look."

The logistics personnel, known as OBs, immediately retrieved the relevant footage.

The scene depicts Chen Ji and God Loki at the End of Time, but there is no sound, and their conversation cannot be discerned.

However, with the opening of the Time Door, it was enough to prove that Chen Ji's words were true; he really had been invited by Loki!

"All right."

"List."

What do you need the Time Tablet for?

"This is TVA equipment. If it gets out, it could cause trouble and lead to even more problems."

Mobius finally showed a relieved expression.

But a hint of hesitation still flickered across his face.

Time Tablet.

How could it be so easily given to an outsider?

"I need to study the Time Tablet and try to fuse it with my Energy Ring; this will help improve your police capabilities."

Chen Ji's smile remained unchanged.

He then showed off the Energy Ring he was wearing on his index finger.

Mystic Arts Weapon were created with ease.

The Time Keeper of TVA is truly awe-inspiring!

Prior to this, TVA, in its pursuit of time criminals, occasionally relied on the Infinity Stones. The Infinity Stones weren't incapable of working in other universes; rather, they could!

Furthermore, TVA also recruited bounty hunters to help them capture powerful time criminals.

For example...

Cable!

He possessed the Time Tablet.

To be precise, it's a Time Wristwatch.

Compared to Time Tablet, Time Wristwatch has limited functionality; it can only travel along Sacred Timeline and cannot reach Null-Time Zone.

Now that the Infinity Stones are missing, TVA is leaderless and feels immense pressure from the aggressive Council of Kangs.

Perhaps this is the main reason why God Loki entrusted Chen Ji with this task.

"OB."

Give him Time Tablet.

"I believe Loki wouldn't betray us."

Mobius nodded.

Immediately, OB handed over a Time Tablet, which contained all the technology of the He Who Remains and was a true time machine.

It can pause time.

Furthermore, it can slow down and speed up the flow of time!

Chen Ji was secretly delighted.

This was truly an unexpected bonus.

"Is Cable also an unofficial employee of your TVA?"

"That's interesting."

"I will take over this place and select suitable personnel to improve the strength of the Time-Space Hunters."

Where is the Cable?

"Let him meet me first."

Chen Ji looked around and then voiced his thoughts.

Time-Space Hunters!

You could also call them the Multiverse Guard!

Everything he orchestrated, including the Energy Ring, could also be used against this guard.

After all, the ambitions and appetites of the Council of Kangs far exceed those of the He Who Remains!

A spacetime war that threatens the entire Multiverse is something Chen Ji must guard against!

"Can."

"Since you have gained Loki's trust, then I have no objections."

"It just so happens that I'm planning to retire for a while."

"Next..."

"I'm counting on you for TVA."

Mobius breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that TVA would experience another period of turmoil after he left.

With Chen Ji in charge, he could almost finally unload his burdens and begin to enjoy life to the fullest.

"Don't worry."

"I'm even more capable than you think."

Chen Ji was anything but modest.

Subsequently, OB also located the Cable's position in time and directly opened a Space-Time Portal.

The next second.

A burly, imposing figure, wielding an energy weapon and with an electronic gleam in his left eye, strode into the Time Variance Authority.

Cable!

His appearance is almost identical to that of Deadpool in the show: his gray hair is combed back, he is equipped with various guns and ammunition, and his left hand is a mechanical arm.

He did not undergo any modifications.

Instead, it was infected with a mechanical virus called 'Scientific Organ'.

This virus can contaminate the human body, turning flesh and blood into machines. It is almost incurable, and can only be controlled!

As soon as he arrived at TVA, he looked at Chen Ji, a stranger.

As an unofficial member of TVA and the Time-Space Hunters chosen by Ravonna, he travels between various timelines, mainly responsible for apprehending time criminals who cause Temporal Axis.

But...

He hasn't received any assignments for some time.

Just when he seriously suspected that TVA was having problems, the Time Door appeared out of nowhere.

[Name]: Nathan Summers

[Identity]: Time-Space Hunters

[Entries]: Mutant Gene (Green), Psychic Defense (Blue), Firearms Master (Blue), Future Warrior (Blue).

[Mutant Gene] (Green): As a descendant of the Summers, he inherited some of the talent of the Cyclops. His eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can also observe his own kind who are hiding.

[Psychic Defense] (Blue): It can block Mind Stone detection, shield against Telepathy and mind control, and resist Mind Stone attacks and damage.

[Firearms Master] (Blue): He is from the distant future, skilled in using various firearms, and familiar with the basic structure of firearms. He can create powerful weapons to deal with the enemies he encounters.

[Future Warrior] (Blue): As the Time-Space Hunters chosen by TVA, he has experienced thousands of battles, and the mechanical virus has greatly enhanced his physique. He is the Nightmare of all time criminals.

"Summers."

"This is... Chen."

"From Earth-996."

"From now on, you will need to follow his orders and arrangements. You will no longer need to catch time criminals. TVA has been reorganized, and there are no more time criminals."

Mobius forced a smile.

He and Cable were old acquaintances.

Cable is still unaware of the changes that have occurred in TVA, and everything that TVA has gone through.

"List?"

"... No time to make a mistake?"

"What's the meaning?"

Cable frowned.

Many speculations arose in my mind.

You don't need to know the inside story.

"Cable."

"All you need to know is that I will be expanding my recruitment of Time-Space Hunters, and even more powerful enemies have appeared in the Multiverse."

Chen Ji was on guard.

The past is the past; there's no need to make it public.

He will also bear the mission of God Loki, to stop the Council of Kangs as much as possible.

"An even more powerful enemy?"

Cable's eyes flashed.

He once single-handedly apprehended thousands of time criminals, and now TVA is even planning to expand its recruitment of time hunters!

Doesn't that mean that the dangers facing TVA are enough to destroy the 'Sacred Timeline'?

He had no idea that the Sacred Timeline had disappeared, that there was no longer Main Universe, and that every universe had gained freedom and could almost be considered Main Universe!

"Oh, right."

Where is Timely?

"It's probably not safe for him to stay at TVA."

Chen Ji's eyes searched.

He plans to bring the Inventor Kang to his universe as his dedicated scientist to develop an even higher level of Energy Ring for him!

Let's just call it... the Time Ring!

"It might not be safe for him to stay with you, Chen."

"Your universe contains a Kang."

B15 reminded them.

"I will kill Kang and replace him with Timely."

Chen Ji said lightly.

"If Timely is willing to leave with you..."

"Then we won't stop them."

Mobius held the Inventor Kang in high esteem.

The same applies to OB, Casey, B15, and so on.

"If this is Loki's arrangement, then I agree."

Timely emerged from the corner, sporting an afro and dressed in a classic suit from the last century, observing coldly the whole time.

As a variant of Kang, he was well aware of his situation. Although he hadn't become 'Kang' yet, who could guarantee it in the future?

Only by staying away from TVA can we eliminate the potential threat!
