Loki abruptly stopped in his tracks, looking around warily.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
The woman continued, "When you cast your Magic just now, the Time Variance Authority's system recorded your Mana fluctuations!"
" The Time Variance Authority?" Loki frowned. "What's that?"
" The Time Variance Authority is nothing..." The woman's voice suddenly paused, "... it's an organization that Multiverse..."
"But you're absolutely right, it's definitely not a good thing!"
"An organization that spans the Multiverse ..." Loki's expression turned serious. Organizations that can be associated with the term ' Multiverse ' are never simple!
And now it seems I'm being targeted by this organization...
Suddenly, a slender figure appeared beside him.
Loki was momentarily stunned when he saw her.
This familiar feeling made him feel as if he were seeing another version of himself.
Loki asked in surprise and doubt, "You...?!"
However, the woman quickly looked up at the sky, her expression becoming somewhat impatient.
"No time for introductions! Get out of here with me! Those lackeys from the Time Variance Authority are catching up soon!"
After saying that, she pulled out a Tablet, the same model as the one Agent Beto had before.
The woman quickly turned on the Tablet.
'Whoosh~'
A Space Portal opened before them.
"Go in!"
Without a word, the woman grabbed Loki's arm and dragged him into the Space Portal.
Strangely, Loki didn't resist at all throughout the entire ordeal...
After the two left, the Space Portal disappeared.
The next second, another Space Portal opened, and Captain Layton with his mustache appeared with his agents.
The man with the mustache looked around at the empty space and frowned, asking, "Where's that guy?"
Agent Beto quickly replied, "Captain Layton, please wait a moment, I'll investigate right away!"
He brought up the tracking app on the Tablet, only to be surprised to find that the highlighted red dot on the Map had disappeared.
"Captain, something's wrong! That person's energy fluctuations have disappeared!"
" The Tracking System can't find any trace of it!"
"What?!" The man with the mustache snatched the Tablet again, his face turning extremely grim as he stared at the vanished data on the screen.
He roughly threw the Tablet back, yelling, "Useless! You can't even handle this little thing!"
Agent Beto hurriedly caught the Tablet, opened his mouth to retort, but seeing the angry-looking mustachioed man, he wisely kept quiet.
Seeing the mocking looks from the other agents, Beto lowered his head and silently retreated to the side.
The man with the mustache paced back and forth in place, the air pressure around him extremely low.
His agents were terrified of incurring his wrath, and none of them dared to speak.
Unable to find an outlet for his anger, the man with the mustache could only wave his hand with a dark expression and say, "Open the door, let's go back to the station."
The Space Portal opened, and they silently lined up and went inside.
The living room of a luxurious apartment in a bustling metropolis on a certain Living Planet.
A Space Portal opened, and the woman and Loki stepped out.
The woman released Loki's arm, and her demeanor visibly became languid.
She pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit wherever you like~"
Then he casually tossed the Tablet onto the coffee table.
Loki looked around, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Is this your home?"
The woman removed her hood, revealing a rather striking and handsome face.
She tossed her short, silver-gray hair and shook her head, saying, "This is just a safe house I found temporarily."
The woman extended her right hand, smiling as she introduced herself, " Sylvie."
Loki looked at the fair hand, took it, and shook it. " Loki... Loki Odinson."
Sylvie raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly. "I know."
Seeing this, Loki had a vague idea in his mind.
A strange glint flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and expressed his gratitude in a very gentlemanly manner, "Ms. Sylvie, thank you for your help earlier."
"You're welcome, it was nothing." Sylvie waved her hand and turned to walk towards the liquor cabinet.
She opened the glass door of the wine cabinet and took out a large, round wine bottle.
Then he took out two upside-down stemmed glasses.
Just as she was closing the wine cabinet door, she paused, turned her head, and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"I recommend a glass of the most famous ' Aurora Brew ' on this Living Planet. It tastes great, and after drinking it, you'll randomly gain a special ability."
"Gained superpowers?!" Loki repeated in surprise.
Sylvie winked mischievously. "Limited-time trial~~"
"It only lasts for one hour, and there's a 99% probability that it's due to the weak magnetism that attracts metals."
"The strength is roughly enough for you to pick up a needle about the length of your little finger..."
"Also, there's a minor side effect after drinking it: it might cause disorientation."
Loki's interest was piqued. What if Thor, that drunkard, drank this wine? Would he accidentally go to the wrong toilet and wet the bed?
"A glass of Aurora Brew, please~~"
Sylvie smiled and nodded. She closed the glass door of the wine cabinet, picked up two wine glasses and the large wine bottle, and returned to the sofa.
She popped the cork off the bottle.
The vibrant, rainbow-colored liquid poured out, instantly filling the air with a unique aroma.
"This unique aroma is also one of the characteristics of Aurora Brew."
Sylvie pushed one of the glasses toward Loki.
"Try it, I'm sure you'll love it."
Loki picked up the glass and swirled it in front of his nose. As the wine swirled, the peculiar aroma instantly became even stronger.
He took a small sip, and instantly a refreshing sensation flowed down his throat. In a daze, a beautiful aurora flashed before his eyes.
Sylvie quickly leaned closer and asked curiously, "What did you see?"
"The aurora..." A genuine smile spread across Loki's face. "The blue aurora, so beautiful..."
"Blue aurora?" Sylvie's eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked, "So what kind of ability did you get randomly?"
Loki's face instantly darkened. He put down his wine glass and opened his right hand.
A bone-chilling cold instantly spread out.
"Hiss~" Sylvie couldn't help but shiver.
She hurriedly retreated, her face filled with disbelief. "This power level..."
"You must be some kind of chosen one?!" Sylvie asked enviously.
"The chosen one..." Loki clenched his fist, and the chill immediately vanished.
He said indifferently, "Perhaps I was born with the bloodline to control Frost."
Sylvie was taken aback, then, as if remembering something, a look of guilt flashed across her face.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that..."
Loki waved his hand. "No need to apologize. I should be thanking you. This wine is good; I like it very much."
He tilted his head back and downed the glass of Aurora Brew, then abruptly turned to stare at Sylvie.
"You seem to know a lot about me..."
"So, who exactly are you?"
What is your purpose in approaching me?
