The ruins of the TVA headquarters are filled with a pungent burnt smell, mixed with the smell of metal rust, as if time has rotted here.
The broken fluorescent tubes were extinguishing on the ground, and the occasional flickering light illuminated the ruins, casting distorted shadows. Li·Stark squatted down, the gravel hurt his knees, but he was completely unaware of it. His fingertips gently touched the traces of time energy remaining on the ground, and those faint blue lights flickered like fireflies under his touch.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes full of confusion and exhaustion. The past few days of fighting had left his eyes black and blue, and there were still unhealed wounds at the corners of his mouth.
The broken Reset Charge in his hand was still humming weakly from time to time, and the cracks on the shell spread like spider webs, as if silently telling his own overwhelmedness. "Theoretically, TVA's transmission network should still have some available nodes, but now the entire system is completely chaotic, and it is impossible to locate our timeline." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice. The continuous fighting and intense thinking made his voice hoarse, as harsh as sandpaper rubbing against metal.
Amora crossed her arms in front of her chest, and green magic loomed around her, sometimes condensing into tiny runes, and sometimes turning into scattered light spots, like the embodiment of her uneasy mood at the moment. She leaned against the tilted metal pillar, and the heels of her boots tapped the ground impatiently, making a crisp sound. But there was an anxious sound. She glanced at Lady Loki who was playing with the dagger, a trace of jealousy and vigilance flashed in her eyes, and snorted coldly, with obvious dissatisfaction in her tone. "If you ask me, it's all because of one more variable. Who knows if she will cause any trouble if she follows us."
Ever since Lady Loki joined, she has been keenly aware of the other person's unique look when he looked at Li·Stark. The magic flowed vaguely on her fingertips, which was both a warning and a release of some secret emotions.
When Lady Loki heard this, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she slowly turned the dagger. The cold light reflected from the blade flickered on her face, making her eyes even more cunning. She deliberately moved closer to Amora, wearing a With a hint of mysterious fragrance, he lowered his voice and said, "Dear Amora, instead of wasting time on complaining, it is better to think of a solution. After all, I also want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible and return to your timeline together." As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently glanced at Li Stark, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing, and then she looked at Amora provocatively, as if she was declaring war silently.
Mobius stood aside, silently observing the interaction between the three of them, the weapon in his hand tapping his thigh unconsciously, making a rhythmic muffled sound. He knew very well that in this difficult moment, the unity of the team was crucial. As people from different timelines, he and Li Stark's experiences were completely different, but their common goal brought them together. He took a step forward and patted Li Stark's shoulder, the warmth of his palm passing through his thin clothes. "Let's look for clues together, maybe we can find something. TVA It has existed for so long, there must be a hidden backup plan." His eyes were firm, but the slightly trembling fingertips still revealed the nervousness in his heart. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping to find a way home as soon as possible, and hoping to resolve the undercurrent in the team. "The timeline I have experienced is different from yours, and maybe I can provide ideas from another angle." He added, trying to use his experience to help the team.
Four people started working on TVA Searching in the ruins of the headquarters. Li Stark got into a pile of scrapped time machines. Metal debris kept falling, leaving scratches on his body, but he didn't care. He squinted his eyes and carefully checked every line interface. Sweat fell down his forehead and dripped on the dusty console. Lady Loki came to him at some point, handed him a shabby cloth, and whispered, "Wipe off your sweat." Li·Stark was stunned for a moment, took the towel, thanked him, and continued to focus on the work in hand. This scene was seen by Amora who was not far away. She bit her lower lip, and the magic light unconsciously dimmed a bit. She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "It's fake."
Amora stands on tiptoes and shuttles gracefully through the ruins. Her magic perception extends like tentacles, searching for any residual magic energy fluctuations around her. Whenever there is a slight abnormality, her pupils will shrink slightly, her expression focused. It was as if she and magic were the only ones left in the world. Mobius followed her, reminding her of the dangers under her feet from time to time. The two of them cooperated tacitly, but they could not hide the tense atmosphere in the air. "Be careful, the energy fluctuations here are very strange." Mobius looked at the distorted light and shadow on the ground and said warily. Amora nodded, and the magic flowed around him faster.
Suddenly, Amora's magical light was strong, and a purple halo illuminated the surrounding area. She stopped in a corner, and her skirt lifted slightly with the sudden braking movement. "There is a strange magical energy here, which is different from what I have sensed before. Maybe it is related to teleportation." There was a hint of excitement in her voice, but also mixed with nervousness. After all, this unknown energy might be hope or a trap. Everyone gathered around immediately, and Li Stark took out a portable scanner from the tool bag. The surface of the instrument was covered with traces of use. He carefully pointed at the energy fluctuations to detect. "This energy is indeed very special, like a combination of some ancient teleportation magic and TVA technology, but the energy is very unstable, and it may be dangerous to use it rashly." His expression was serious, his brows were knitted into the character "Chuan", and his fingers quickly slid across the scanner screen, analyzing various data.
Lady Loki came forward, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. Her hair was blown by the breeze caused by the energy fluctuations, fluttering around her face. "Danger? That's interesting. Maybe this is the key to our return home." She stretched out her hand to touch the ball of energy, moving as quickly as a cat, but was stopped by Amora. Amora's nails almost dug into Lady Loki's arm, and her eyes were full of warning. "Don't move! No one can act rashly until the situation is understood." The two were in a confrontation again. Sparks seemed to be flying in the air, and magic and power collided invisibly. "You are always so domineering, do you know this energy better than him?" Lady Loki raised his eyebrows and gestured in the direction of Li Stark.
"Stop arguing!" Li·Stark shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the ruins, startling several mechanical insects that flew from nowhere. "Now is not the time for internal fighting. Let's analyze it together and find a way to use this energy safely." Under his mediation, Amora and Lady Loki temporarily stopped quarreling. The four of them sat together, their clothes stained by gravel and dust, but they couldn't care about it. Li Stark drew an energy operation model on the ground. The lines were crooked, but full of energy. Full of seriousness. Lady Loki took the initiative to come closer and discuss the details with him. Their shoulders touched inadvertently, but Li Stark didn't notice it and was focused on the model; while Amora turned his head away angrily, but couldn't help but secretly pay attention to what was going on over there.
Mobius made suggestions based on the technical principles of TVA. He paused from time to time while speaking, trying to recall the dusty knowledge. "I remember that TVA has a backup emergency procedure. Maybe there is a similar setting here." As he spoke, he drew some symbols on the ground, trying to recall his memory.
Amora contributes knowledge of magic, she said while using magic to outline the corresponding runes in the air, trying to prove her worth. "The frequency of this energy fluctuation is very similar to an ancient teleportation spell that I have studied." She said, with a hint of pride in her eyes. Lady Loki also became rarely serious, sharing her experience accumulated in Multiverse. Her tone was no longer joking, but with a hint of solemnity, but her eyes always fell on Li Stark unconsciously. "I have seen similar energy devices in other timelines. Maybe we can reverse engineer its operating mode."
After some intense discussions and attempts, they finally found a relatively safe method. Li Stark connected Reset Charge with the mysterious energy. His hands trembled slightly, for fear that an accidental energy would cause the energy to run rampant. Lady Loki stood behind him, his eyes full of worry, silently thinking He prayed; Amora was not far away, pretending to concentrate on setting up the magic barrier, but his peripheral vision was closely watching Li Stark's every move. Mobius was on the side, alert, ready to respond to emergencies at any time. He knew that he, who came from different timelines, shouldered unique responsibilities in this team.
When everything was ready, Li Stark took a deep breath and pressed the start button. The energy began to surge wildly, and the surrounding space distorted and deformed, making a tooth-piercing tearing sound. A huge teleportation vortex formed in front of everyone. The center of the vortex was as dark as ink, but the edges shone with dazzling light. "Everyone, hurry up!" Li·Stark shouted, his voice being drowned by the roar of the whirlpool. Lady Loki grabbed his arm without hesitation, his eyes firm; Amora gritted his teeth, and quickly stepped forward, standing in front of him On the other side, he reached out and held the corner of his clothes. Mobius held the weapon tightly and stood at the end, watching the surroundings vigilantly. The four of them supported each other and walked into the teleportation vortex. In the dazzling light and strong sense of weightlessness, they embarked on the journey home.
