Chapter 97. Breaking Reality! You Really Fell in Love with Yourself! Rebellion!

"This this this ..."

Looking at himself on screen, being beaten by Sif again and again, he couldn't even stand straight. All the hairs on Loki's body stood on end, and a chill ran up his spine.

As a man, what punishment could be .... more terrible than this kind of infinite torture?

'How dare he trap me in this infinite hell? That Mobius is too ruthless!'

"Gulp."

Even Tony couldn't help but gulp, standing there in silence.

"This kind of thing ... as long as it was a man, how could we not be afraid?" Stephen Strange murmured in a low voice...

"If an average man encountered such repeated attacks ... they would either go insane or lose ... that."

"No way!"

Peter was frightened to death and involuntarily glanced back at Loki.

Loki was furious at the gaze and stared back with a stern look.

"Child! What are you looking at?"

Even if he looked angry, Loki still had a faint chill in his heart.

Naturally, they couldn't compare his body to the average man, but if he endlessly withstood such attacks, not to mention pain, the idea of it already made their scalps grow numb!

"Haha ..."

At this time, in the live streaming room. Young Wanda looked at all the men around her. All their faces seemed pale, and they all looked helpless. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

[Master Mordo: To be honest, this is really remarkable.]

[Master Mordo: I don't know how those Time Variance Authority people did it. Even in our world, this kind of time manipulation magic belongs to the upper tier!]

[Stephen Strange: What? Can spells still do such a thing?]

[Master Mordo: Of course, but this kind of spell is extremely dangerous. If it's poorly controlled, it could create branches, unstable half-dimensions, or even space-time paradoxes! This isn't a spell that an apprentice could get their hands on.]

[Loki Odinson: Can you tell me how to escape from this kind of time loop?]

[Master Mordo: Sorry, I can't help you. Once an infinite loop is formed, it would be difficult for outsiders to break unless the person who made it takes the initiative to terminate it.]

[Master Mordo: I can't think of anyone who can do that, except for Master Ancient One!]

Having said that, Master Mordo involuntarily turned back and looked at the Eye of Agamotto, hanging around the Ancient One's neck.

[The video continued.]

[Finally, after God knows how many cycles, Loki seemed to have given up the struggle and collapsed to the ground with a miserable look on his face.]

["You! You conniving, craven, pathetic ..."]

[When Sif's voice rang out again, Loki didn't even have the strength to stand up. He just reached out and weakly shouted.]

["Sif, please, please. No more. Please, I beg you."]

[Trying to support his body, Loki really couldn't stand up and simply kneeled towards Sif.]

["I'm a horrible person, I get it. I cut off your hair because I thought it'd be funny."]

["And it's not."]

[Seeing that Sif didn't punch him like before, Loki took a deep breath and continued...]

["Uh... I crave attention. Because I'm ... I'm a narcissist."]

["And I suppose it's ... It's because I'm scared of being alone."]

[Hearing Loki's monologue and watching him kneeling on the ground with a pathetic look, Sif seemed to have finally given up on her revenge. She stretched out her hand to Loki.]

[Loki took Sif's hand and finally stood up.]

[At that moment, Sif coldly told Loki...]

["You are alone, and you always will be."]

[After saying that, Sif pushed Loki's arm away and left the room.]

[Then, in the doorway where Sif kept appearing, another person walked out. This time, it was Mobius.]

["Okay, Loki." Looking at a depressed Loki, Mobius calmly spoke.]

["You ready to talk?"]

In the otherworldly live streaming room.

"Humph, this old guy's tactics haven't changed at all."

Tony coldly snorted, showing a slight hit of disdain on his face.

Strange, who stood beside him, also said...

"Last time, when Mobius faced Loki, he also attacked his heart with those unfortunate and dark futures, trying to break his psychological defences."

This time it was evident that Mobius used the same routine.

Natasha listened thoughtfully. "First break him down, then manipulate him?"

"Sounds like a very standard brainwashing routine."

Loki himself snorted from his nostrils...

"What's that saying you humans have? You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

"Mobius seems like he's quite old. How can you expect him to know new tricks?"

Listening to Loki's words, dripping with his usual self-confidence, Peter softly asked...

"Mr Loki, do you think there's a chance for the 'other you' to turn the tables in this situation? "

"Of course there is."

Loki laughed...

"Earlier, on that soon to be an extinct asteroid, I heard a remarkable thing from Sylvie, right?"

Loki once again had that trademark smile on his face...

"As long as that information is used well, turning the tables on the Time Variance Authority wouldn't be that hard."

...

[The video continued.]

[Loki and Mobius return to the video screening room.]

[Loki seemed to have regained some strength, sat down as if nothing had happened, and said...]

["Fancy technology. Threatening interrogation tactics. It seems you, and I are in a loop of our own."]

[Just like before, the two men sat together again, even in the same positions.]

[Mobius: "Well, there's been a lot of water under the bridge since then."]

["Okay, you said the TVA is lying to me. Go ahead."]

[Looking at Loki crossing his arms around his chest, it seemed like he had no intention of saying anything. Mobius used the provocation method again.]

["Or is that just a cockroach's survival mechanism kicking in?"]

[Loki didn't fall for it. Instead, he said, "Let me out of this place, stop beating me up, and I'll tell you."]

[Mobius didn't even answer Loki's remark and just nodded]

["Cockroach. Got it."]

[Mobius noted it down, then asked, "How long have you been working for the Variant?"]

["Me?"]

[Loki looked stunned, "Working for her? Please..."]

[Mobius: "If you're not working for the Variant, what is it? You're partners?"]

["Absolutely not."]

[Loki recalled with disgust, "She's difficult and irritating, and she tried to hit me all the time. No. Not partners, no."]

[Mobius seemed to agree with this extremely well...]

["Yeah, I guess you don't do partners. Unless, of course, it benefits you, and you intend to betray them at some point."]

[Listening to Mobius's sarcasm, Loki finally seemed to break...]

["It was a means to an end, Mobius. Welcome to the real world."]

["Down there, we're awful to one another to get what we want."]

["Ha!"]

[Mobius didn't hesitate to sneer back, "Now I gotta have a Prince tell me how the real world works?"]

["Why don't you just tell me what caused the nexus event on Lamentis?"]

[Loki instantly denied him, "Let me say this again. I'm not going to tell you."]

["Just so you can turn around immediately afterwards and prune me."]

["I guess we've reached a dead end then."]

[Mobius picked up the file on the table and spoke with a look of concern.]

["I'm going to miss these little tete-a-tetes."]

["One guy playing checkers, you, old Mobius playing chess."]

[While saying something puzzling, Mobius stood up and took out the time controller from his pocket.]

["Yeah, so ... give my regards to Lady Sif."]

["Huh?"]

[When hearing that, Loki's expression suddenly changed. The originally confident and arrogant expression instantly fell apart.]

["No. What? No, no, no... Please, not... Well, just wait, wait, wait."]

[Mobius pressed a few times on the time controller and gently lifted his head.]

["Yeah?"]

[Looking at the cunning guy, Loki simply said, "Of course it was me, pulling the strings all along."]

["She came to me on Asgard a long time ago, and then she took me to one of her apocalypses. That's where we hatched our plan together."]

[Mobius asked, "Which is?"]

["Coming along very nicely, thank you." Loki acted high and mighty.]

["She's one of my pawns."]

["Something very, very big is gonna happen. And when it does, I'll dispose of her."]

[Looking at Loki's confident smile, Mobius suddenly threw down a heavy bomb that blew Loki's mind.]

["Well, we saved you the trouble there. She's already been pruned."]

["So, assume I do set you free..."]

[As if he was struck by lightning, all of a sudden, Loki's eyes seemed dull, and his face paled.]

["Hang on, wait. Hang on, what did you just say?"]

[Mobius spreads his hands, "Assume I do set you free..."]

["No, the Variant. She's gone?" Loki asked incredulously.]

["Yeah. Not before she took out two of ours." Mobius said with some resentment.]

["Yeah, she was going to her Time Cell, broke free. Hunter B-15 stepped in, popped her."]

["So, you might want to fire off a thank you note to Hunter B-15."]

["Because it looks like you're the superior Loki ..."]

[Listening to Mobius's ramble, Loki pretentiously shrugged.]

["Good riddance."]

[But although Loki tried his best to suppress his expression, his eyes still revealed waves of shock, fear, sorrow, regret, and many other emotions. Anyone could see it at a glance.]

[Mobius glanced at Loki and couldn't take his eyes off of him.]

[Soon, he chuckled, "Hehehehe..."]

[Loki: "What's so funny?"]

["Hahaha ... come on. Just look at your eyes. You like her!"]

[Mobius burst out laughing.]

["You like her. Does she like you?"]

[Loki followed up a bit eagerly, "Is she really pruned?"]

["No wonder you have no clue what caused the nexus even on Lamentis!"]

[Mobius laughed, "Both of you were just swooning over each other."]

["It's the apocalypse!"]

[Mobius spoke in agitation...]

["Two Variants of the same being, especially you. Forming this kind of sick, twisted romantic relationship."]

["That's pure chaos. That could break reality!"]

[Mobius laughed again, "It's breaking my reality right now!"]

["What a... incredible seismic narcissist!"]

["You fell for yourself."]

[Hearing that, Loki finally couldn't help asking, "Is she alive?"]

[Mobius looked at Loki and fell silent for a moment. He coldly said, "For now."]

[After hearing that, Loki sighed with relief.]

[Then Mobius continued to ask.]

["And was infiltrating the TVA... was that always sort of the grand plan?"]

[Loki shrugged, "Our interests are aligned."]

[Mobius listened and nodded his head.]

["Overthrowing the Time-Keepers?"]

[Loki: "Maybe they should be overthrown."]

[Mobius gently shook his head, "I should give you a slap in the face."]

[Loki tried to convince Mobius, but Mobius didn't believe him at all.]

[In the end, Loki finally lost patience and shouted at the top of his lungs.]

["You're all Variants!"]

[This sentence finally silenced Mobius, leaving him stiff in place, unable to speak for a moment.]

[Loki continued to shout...]

["Everyone who works at the TVA!"]

["The Time-Keepers didn't create you. They kidnapped you from the timeline and erased your memories."]

[Speaking of that, Loki paused, "But she can access those memories through enchantment."]

["So, before this, you had a past, maybe you had a family, a life..."]

[Listening to Loki's words, Mobius just sat there. He, who had always been eloquent, couldn't say a word.]

[After a long while, he spat out a few words, "Nice try. I almost believed you."]

[Seeing that, Loki had no choice but to lean back and ultimately give up on persuading the man in front of him.]

[And Mobius also started his own counterattack, "That was good. You two, what a pair!"]

["Gosh! Unbelievable. Wherever you go, it's just death, destruction, the literal ends of worlds..."]

In the otherworldly live streaming room, Loki suddenly sneered...

"Hahaha. It worked."

At this point, Strange was also nodding...

"Mobius's words are proof that he's starting to doubt."

Tony was even more sure, saying...

"The guy's heart was shaken!"

"That's right!"

At this moment, Loki had that proud smile on his face.

"The rebellion in the TVA has started!"
