Sylvie shrugged and said innocently, "There was no conspiracy, it was just a coincidence."
"Is that so?" Loki narrowed his eyes, then suddenly leaned down close to Sylvie, saying with a half-smile, "Those idiots from the Time Variance Authority were originally targeting you, weren't they?"
Sylvie's expression remained calm, but the fingers gripping the wine glass were turning slightly white from the force.
"Mr. Loki, judging from your attire and demeanor, you must come from a good family, and your upbringing is undoubtedly excellent..."
"So... could you be a little more gentlemanly?"
"After all, I just saved you."
"Yes." Loki suddenly laughed, sat up straight, and nodded apologetically. "It seems I was overthinking things. Please forgive my intrusion."
"Of course it's alright," Sylvie said with a forced smile, raising her glass.
"Won't you have another drink? Perhaps this will be the last time you drink this Aurora Brew."
"No need," Loki waved his hand in refusal. "Although I am from Asgard, I am not a drinker."
"Well, that's a shame." Sylvie Aurora Brew in her glass with regret, tilted her long neck back, and downed it in one gulp.
"Hiccup~" She hiccuped, her cheeks instantly turning rosy.
Seeing that she seemed a little drunk, Loki asked directly, "What are we going to do next?"
Sylvie picked up the large bottle and poured herself another glass.
But this time, she held the wine glass with both hands and began to savor the wine carefully.
"Hmm, what's next..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire planet suddenly trembled violently.
The glass door of the wine cabinet was instantly smashed open by the wine bottles inside.
A whole cabinet of fine rice wine shattered into pieces with a loud crash.
Loki quickly stood up, his expression wary.
"What happened?!"
Sylvie remained seated, still savoring her ' Aurora Brew ' as if enjoying the experience.
"It's nothing, it's just that this planet is under attack from an extraterrestrial enemy."
"What?!" Loki's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this. "You know about this?!"
"Of course," Sylvie nodded. "According to the time of 3:15 PM on November 22nd, 4125 of the planet's Silver Calendar, hostile forces will secretly arrive in the planet's near-Earth orbit through a newly formed, concealed wormhole..."
"In 1 hour and 23 minutes, the entire planet will be blasted into cosmic dust by the Star Killer Cannon mounted on the enemy Mothership."
Loki couldn't hold back any longer.
We must get out of here!
He reached for the Tablet on the coffee table and started fiddling with it.
"What the hell?! How am I supposed to operate this thing?!"
Sylvie leaned back on the sofa and waved her hand lazily. "Don't panic, the planet's defenses can hold out for about an hour."
"I'll finish this bottle of Aurora Brew before I leave."
Loki's lips twitched. He glanced at the large bottle; there were at least two glasses of wine left. At the rate she was drinking, by the time they left, a space- Star Killer Cannon would probably be raining down on them.
"You only have this one bottle of Aurora Brew left?"
"Yes." Sylvie looked up, her eyes appearing slightly tipsy.
Loki picked up the large bottle, popped the cork off, tilted his head back, and started chugging it down.
Sylvie's mouth gaped slightly as she stared in surprise.
Soon, the large wine bottles were emptied.
"Hiccup~" Loki hiccuped and slammed the bottle down on the coffee table.
"Now, tell me how to use this damn thing!"
As he spoke, he handed the Tablet to Sylvie.
Sylvie looked at the empty bottle with a pained expression. "You... you're so wasteful!"
Loki stared at the female drunkard with a dark expression; he felt this woman was constantly teetering on the edge of his limits...
"Tell me... how... does this damn thing... work?!"
Sylvie frowned uncomfortably, then waved her hand dismissively, "Fine, fine~"
She put down her wine glass, picked up her Tablet, and casually tapped the center of the screen, which instantly lit up.
"This thing is called Time Controller. It was specially made by the Time Variance Authority for their agents. It's a piece of equipment designed to travel through any time and space node."
"Look here, you can choose the Multiverse number you wish to travel to..."
"Then here, you can choose the time you want to go..."
Finally, here you choose your destination.
"Oh, right..."
Sylvie looked up at Loki and asked, "Which Multiverse do you come from?"
"..." Loki shook his head. "I don't know."
"Huh?!" Sylvie's eyes widened in surprise. "Then how did you get to universe number 2377?"
Loki paused for a moment before replying, "I'm dead..."
When I opened my eyes again, I was in that forest...
"Immediately afterwards, the people from the Time Variance Authority appeared."
"They immediately drew their guns and pointed them at me as soon as they appeared."
Sylvie looked enlightened.
"So that's how it is..."
She muttered under her breath, "I knew those hyenas' noses had suddenly become so sensitive..."
"So their target was you..."
"What?" Loki asked, frowning.
Sylvie's murmur was too soft and indistinct for him to hear clearly.
"It's nothing!" Sylvie shook her head and smiled.
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here." Loki didn't hesitate; the most important thing right now was to leave this soon-to-be-destroyed planet.
Having already died once, he didn't want to die again...!
"OK! OK! It's in progress!" Sylvie's slender white fingers nimbly slid across the screen.
"Destination: Universe 7945, Living Planet 135 of Distant Star Galaxy..."
She smiled and told Loki, "This Living Planet has maintained its pristine environment; the scenery is absolutely beautiful."
"Time: June 9th, 11300 in the Universal Calendar..."
"OK, you can go now."
Sylvie extended her left hand toward Loki.
Loki paused, taken aback.
Sylvie: "Hands!"
Loki hesitated before taking the hand.
Sylvie smiled broadly, "Doggy! Let's go home, let's go home!"
She clicked "OK" with her small hand, but her gaze inadvertently swept over the coffee table, and she hurriedly said, "Wine! My Aurora Brew! Please get it for me!"
Loki reacted quickly and grabbed the wine glass.
The next second, the two of them vanished in a flash.
Universe 7945, a secret base on a certain Living Planet.
Two figures appeared out of thin air in an empty room.
Sylvie released Loki's hand and took her own wine glass.
Thank you~
She took a sip with relish, a satisfied expression on her face.
" Alice, turn on the lights."
An indistinguishable male or female electronic voice rang out, its mechanical tone carrying a hint of cheerfulness.
Welcome home, Master Sylvie.
In an instant, the entire room was as bright as day.
