Chapter 76: The Road to Becoming a God!
『 With Kang's death, the Sacred Timeline completely erupted into chaos. Just as Kang said, killing him was not an act of freedom, but true pandemonium!
In the vast starry sky, the originally closed-loop Sacred Timeline began to infinitely branch, expand. They transformed into tree roots, growing, connecting, intertwining, spiraling.
Countless multiverses were born, countless multiverses intertwined, touched, understood, expanded, and were destroyed.
A never-before-imagined, endless war erupted at this moment.
Countless worlds would be plunged into misery and suffering due to Kang's death, ushering in the most terrifying, dark, and turbulent End Times! 』

[ Sakata Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "No, Kang just died like that? Wasn't he above time? He just died so simply? This job really could be handled by an old man!" ]
[ Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): "He's not dead. It was just a variant~ that died. Besides, for some big shots, pleasure is greater~ than death. They don't fear death; they fear boredom~ more." ]
[ Aleister Crowley (A Certain Magical Index): "When He Who Remains guided the two here and offered two choices, he already knew the answer. Or rather, this was still a script set by the other party." ]
[ He Who Remains: "That's right, it's like that. Before it could be observed, I was indeed killed by Sylvie." ]
[ Spider-Man: "Um, what happens if the infinite multiverse goes chaotic? Can some big shot explain?" ]
[ Beyonder: "Isn't it already clear? All multiverse Kangs discovered each other at the same time, triggering a multiverse war. And this was just their personal war. Now, the matter of the infinite multiverse has been brought into the open. Everyone will participate in the war." ]
[ Spider-Man: "So, it's Royal Rumble not only the variants of Kang's but everyone!?" ]
[ Rick Sanchez (Rick And Morty): "What's even more interesting is that the one fighting you might be your closest friend or family in that universe, or even yourself fighting yourself. Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle with cruelty." ]
[ Daigo (Ultraman): "What will be the final outcome..." ]
[ Beyonder: "It's simple, the end of all things. You wouldn't think there could still be a victor then, would you? This isn't just a battle of all Kangs. Who knows how vast the universe is? Everyone will participate then. Even if all universes are shattered, they won't stop." ]

"The one who maintains the order of multiple timelines, the writer of destiny,"
The Anti-Spiral race muttered, looking at the figure on the screen.
No matter which possibility, it was almost impossible to kill such an existence.
His figure was spread across all multiverses, and this variant had even unified the multiverse timeline.
To kill the other party, one could only use weapons or existences that transcended concepts to annihilate the other party along with that universe.
In other words, killing this current variant also meant that the timeline of that world would collapse with it, and the entire multiverse would collapse with it.
The Anti-Spiral race shook their heads. To become an immortal and then actively seek death.
How incredibly inconceivable.

"Infinite multiverse..."
Thanos's eyes showed a hint of confusion. If the infinite multiverse was truly coming, would one Infinity Gauntlet be enough for him?
No, it definitely wouldn't be enough, would it?!
Should he consider preparing a few more gauntlets?
No... If there were a version of him in every universe in the multiverse, would they all snap their fingers together then?
Thanos fell into deep thought.
Asgard—
"Selfish Loki..."
The gods gave such a. Whether it was Loki or Sylvie, they were both too selfish.
Wouldn't it be better to just accept their fate? Resistance? The final result was bringing endless disaster to everyone.
Even if this truth was revealed early by the screen, they might, at some point, inexplicably accept this war.
Loki, still not liked by gods or men.

"Still too weak,"
Meruem murmured distractedly.
It seemed to be about Loki, and it also seemed to be about himself.
He had thought he was the strongest in this world, but he was merely a frog in a well.
Beyond this world, there were countless, incalculable supreme powerhouses.
And no matter in which world, only the strong could control their own destiny, while the destiny of the weak was in the hands of others.

Tanjiro was stunned and lost in thought.
Destiny... if there truly was such a thing as human destiny, then once the wheel of destiny began to turn.
Everyone would be born, separated, die, and part within the flow of destiny, forever unable to stop as the wheel of destiny turned...

『 At this moment, the entire Time Variance Authority had fallen into chaos.
All timelines had breached the red line, which meant that the order of the Sacred Timeline had completely collapsed!
Loki, who had been teleported back, quickly found Mobius and informed him of everything: He Who Remains had been killed by Sylvie, and the multiversal war had appeared!
They would face unprecedented chaos and war.
But after saying all this, Mobius and the Timekeepers' captain looked at Loki with blank faces, "Who are you?"
Loki froze instantly, as if he had thought of something, and looked at the statue in the hall.
At some point, there were no longer three lizardmen there, but Kang the Conqueror—!
His statue stood towering, symbolizing eternal power!
And Mobius and the Timekeepers also realized that Loki was a time variant, and they began to pursue and intercept Loki!
Loki fled, using a hovering car to crash into an office. The hanging retro timeline television crashed down, creating cracks on the marked floor, just like the spreading timelines.
Here he met Casey. Despite Loki's explanations, Casey couldn't recall any information about Loki. He even called the Timekeepers to arrest Loki!
Just as Loki was at a loss, a violent sense of distortion twisted his mind and body into a ball, and then Loki suddenly disappeared!
But in the blink of an eye, Loki's figure reappeared, back in place. 』

〜Puella Magi Madoka Magica World〜
"The collapse of the Sacred Timeline caused Loki, as a variant, to start time slipping?"
In the garden, Homura, Madoka, and others were drinking tea. Homura, skilled in the way of time, immediately saw Loki's current situation.
It wasn't that the people at the Time Variance Authority had lost their memories, but that Loki's timeline was not parallel to the current TVA.
—
『 "Loki! What are you doing here?" Before Loki could explain again, Casey excitedly greeted him.
"You... remember me?" Loki was filled with surprise, looking around blankly. That floor—
Wasn't that the floor he had cracked?! Loki suddenly realized that he had been in the past all along, which was why no one recognized him!
Understanding everything, Loki eagerly wanted to find the Mobius he knew, but before he took two steps, his figure twisted and disappeared again.
Fortunately, this time, Loki traveled to a timeline he was familiar with. He explained to everyone everything that was happening, including the fact that He Who Remains had been killed.
The TVA immediately decided to first find Sylvie at the end of time.
And Loki followed Mobius to O.B. in the repairs department, attempting to get Loki to control his own anomaly.
But before Loki and Mobius could explain the situation, Loki's figure twisted and disappeared again, leaving only Mobius. 』

[ Dio Brando (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure): "Time isn't something just anyone can control, you know~" (proud.jpg) ]
[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "Three seconds is still more than enough." ]
[ Thor Odinson: "So Loki is currently in a chaotic, unknown state, constantly able to travel through various times and spaces? How does it feel like Loki has been buffed?" ]
[ Aozaki Aoko (Type-Moon): "The current Loki is like a weak magic user who has just mastered the Fifth Magic. He cannot control this power and will even be confused by it." ]
[ Diavolo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure): "Is this really not a trial specifically for Loki?" ]
[ Thor Odinson: "Hmph, my brother won't change no matter how many trials... perhaps there will be a slight change, but don't hold out hope for Loki." ]

"Either perish in destruction, or be reborn in destruction,"
Aizen said with a smile, his deep eyes revealing emotions no one could understand.

『 "What on earth is going on?!" Mobius urgently asked. And O.B. did not disappoint Mobius.
This was time slipping, but this situation should not be possible in the Time Variance Authority.
"But it happened, what should we do?" In the same location, in the past timeline, Loki was also asking the past O.B. this question.
To have the person on the current timeline find the temporal aura, and after Loki erases himself from the timeline, use a temporal aura extractor to pull Loki out of the time stream.
But this action was very dangerous. If he wasn't careful, Loki could be torn apart by terrifying temporal energy!
At this moment, O.B. also discovered that countless branches were appearing in the Sacred Timeline. He took Loki and Mobius to the temporal loom control room.
And when he saw the countless chaotic timelines, Loki immediately understood that he had to get rid of time slipping as soon as possible.
Finally, with Mobius's cooperation, Loki successfully got rid of his time slipping problem, and Loki also realized that he had to find Sylvie on the temporal loom! 』

[ Jiro Horikoshi (Ghibli): "So, does everything being done now have anything to do with saving the multiverse?" ]
[ Doctor Strange: "No, everything up to now has just been Loki saving himself. The only possibility now is... I'm not sure either." ]
[ Sougo Tokiwa (Kamen Rider): "...Don't speak halfway, or you might be covered in ominous red in your old age!" ]

『 Hard work paid off, and Loki finally found Sylvie on the temporal loom. At Loki's persuasion, Sylvie also decided to join everyone to save the Sacred Timeline.
And it takes a bell to mend a bell, as the Time Variance Authority was about to face destruction, everyone unanimously decided to go find Kang!
Other Kangs from other timelines!
In this process, Miss Minutes fell in love with Kang, and Kang fell in love with Judge Renslayer, but Judge Renslayer didn't like Kang. Ultimately, Judge Renslayer and Miss Minutes developed feelings for each other.
Fortunately, in the end, Loki still brought the variant Kang back.
After bringing the variant Kang to O.B.'s archives, the two immediately hit it off.
And they quickly came up with a way to deal with the temporal aura problem. O.B. presented his self-made temporal aura model.
He planned for someone to take a throughput multiplier, walk into the temporal loom, and insert it.
Hitting the temporal aura would mean being able to decompose those extra timelines!
But Kang, on the side, raised a question: what if the decay rate of the temporal aura exceeded the throughput of the multiplier?
The variant Kang took out a newly developed item and began to formulate a new plan with O.B.
Soon, everything was prepared. Loki was ready to install the throughput multiplier himself, but he was rejected by the variant Kang.
He understood that only he could complete this task. 』

"It succeeded so easily?"
The chaotic evil Gudako angrily complained.
Saving a singularity, such a small matter, required several great heroes. How could it end without more people dying here!

『 After preparing everything, the variant Kang walked out of the temporal loom control room. He was wearing a protective suit and carrying the throughput multiplier as he headed out the door.
But then, something happened that left everyone in shock. Even the variant Kang, clad in a protective suit, was ripped apart and spaghettified after just a few steps.
In the temporal loom control room, everyone's expressions froze. They couldn't accept what they had just seen.
Loki looked up in a daze. He saw that the temporal loom had exploded due to immense pressure, and a huge tear tore the temporal loom in half.
There was no infinite multiverse, no infinite war, because at this moment, everything in this world came to an end—
Loki watched all this in fear, but when he turned around, everyone around him had disappeared. And Loki once again fell into time slipping.
Constantly traversing, constantly twisting, Loki saw Mobius and others who had not become Timekeepers. At this moment, a confused Loki had no idea which direction to go.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, O.B. provided a method: there was no way to travel to a past where there was no time at all.
The only possibility was for Loki to master time slipping! And no matter how Loki twisted, he could not control time. 』

Stark Tower—
"Idiot Loki!"
Thor helplessly covered his head, fuming. He even suspected that his brother was some god of comedy.
Otherwise, why would he think he could control the laws of time by just wiggling around like a maggot?
At least slip a few more times, right?
—
『 If everyone could be gathered at one point, they might be able to read the temporal aura and obtain coordinates.
And the amazingly talented O.B. actually built a TVA board in nineteen months through a practical manual. Soon, Loki gathered everyone who was originally in the temporal loom control room!
But when everyone was gathered, the space began to collapse and dissipate into lines.
Time, space, objects, people...
Everything disappeared before Loki's eyes...
In the blink of an eye, only Sylvie remained.
"No... no!" Loki's eyes were red. He tried to pull the lines, wanting to stop and save his friends.
But no matter what he did, it was futile. Everything from the past echoed in Loki's mind.
Happiness, confusion, emotion, recognition... but now everything had turned into a bubble.
Loki was like a confused child, struggling desperately, pleading.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!" The despair and collapse in his heart were completely released. Loki roared hoarsely!
At this moment, a miracle happened. Time actually rewound, returning to a certain moment according to Loki's will!
He... had mastered time slipping! Realizing this, Loki took a deep look at everyone and said with utmost seriousness.
"I will rewrite the entire story."
With that, Loki returned to before the variant Kang entered the temporal loom, but no matter how hard he tried, the final result was only the variant Kang vanishing into thin air.
Realizing all this, Loki decided to go back even further.
Reincarnation, endless reincarnation. In a short period of time, Loki frantically learned and explored.
His lonely figure quietly passed through centuries of time. 』

This, the destruction of the entire multiverse, was Loki's stairway to godhood, HIS PATH TO BECOMING A GOD!!!

Thor Odinson stared blankly at Loki on the screen.
