Actually, Lorien knew the other party might come looking for him. But it wasn't certain. So he waited.
The Time Variance Authority, because it could manipulate time, behaved with complete impunity. They could do whatever they wanted on the timeline—so long as they didn't disrupt its overall course. They could act recklessly!
That was precisely why Lorien was willing to wait. As long as they didn't make a mistake, he could ignore whatever the TVA did. The premise was simple: don'...

As the scanner completed its sweep of the globe,
“Got it!” Loki’s face lit up with excitement at the location shown.
“But there’s no trace of Lady Loki,” Agent Mobius pointed out.
“That’s fine. Let’s check on that man first. If his strength isn’t enough, we can do whatever we want at this point in time.”
Mobius thought it over. That did make sense. Better to gauge the opponent’s strength first.

The two studied the s...

New World, Gateway Sea. Not long after leaving Mary Geoise Harbor, Ortoren boarded the warship G-5 had sent to pick him up.
Back in his cabin office, he hadn’t even warmed his chair when Admiral Sengoku’s Den Den Mushi rang.
“Admiral? What’s the matter?” Ortoren asked while making himself some tea.
“What do you mean, ‘what’s the matter’? Why did you go to the Sabaody Archipelago? And going there is one thing, but why did you raid all those shops in Mary Geo...

The Navy does have a base on the Sabaody Archipelago, but since the islands are directly under the Celestial Dragons’ jurisdiction, the Marines here are practically invisible—useless, with almost no authority to intervene.
Normally, a Marine base commander holds the rank of Vice Admiral, but the commander here is only a Rear Admiral, which already shows how little importance the Navy places on this location.
Otherwise, would the Sabaody Archipelago really be allowed to fester ...

It was obvious.
Savitar’s arrival had already begun to ripple outward.
Arcs of electricity crackled across Quicksilver’s body—something that should never have existed here.
His speed had surged.
Anyone with the right knowledge would have realized it instantly: Quicksilver had become the first to earn the favor of the Speed Force.
Just like Chaos Magic, the Phoenix Force, or the Goblin Force in the Marvel Universe, the Speed Force of the DC Universe carries ...

Herman accepted his new identity.
He went back to his usual slacking in the office at Stellar Tower, though now and then he’d offer pointers to the New York Daily Bugle upstairs on how to grab readers’ attention and get them into the habit of daily reading.
Aside from political scandals—where no one worried about retaliation—Herman enforced strict rules on headlines.

As for the heated discussions online, Skye, fleeing in a panic, remained completely unaware.
Her thoughts were a mess.
She couldn’t focus on anything... Gaining superpowers should have been something to celebrate, yet she couldn’t shake the terrified expressions she’d seen on the crowd’s faces. She worried that the “family” in Stellar Tower might look at her the same way.
Especially Herman.

The second normal attack trait of the King of Normal Attacks had finally arrived!
Hakken took a deep breath, too preoccupied to admire the Eight-Tails convulsing wildly before him from the Ten-Hit Combo. His entire focus was fixed on the newly unlocked normal attack trait.
He slowly nodded and uttered two words.
“Extract.”
The Normal Attack Trait was the most direct and tangible enhancement to Hakken’s strength beyond the King of Normal Attacks template itself. H...

Was Hakken overconfident?
Facing two Jinchūriki alone?
Not at all.
Before setting out, he had already gained a thorough understanding of his own strength. At that time, he possessed nearly fifteen percent of the Zaraki Kenpachi template and was on the verge of unlocking the White Hollow template’s Second Slash trait.
Two powerful templates, combined with his beast-like physical abilities. Add in the Chakra Blade—each element was a vital part of his strength.

The crowd had gathered at a distance. Many were filming with their phones, others frantically dialing 911.
But no one dared to step forward against the terrifyingly burly man. The gym trainer he had thrown earlier served as a grim reminder.

Farther away.
The influencer was frozen in shock, yet she still kept her phone pointed toward the horrific scene. The burly man looked as if he were waiting for his victims to slowly die.

Naturally, she couldn’t possibly put up a truly even fight against Herman. Still, with him holding back a little, things stayed under control—at least the office desks managed to survive the clash.

In the end, the “battle” concluded with Fox bowing her head and begging Herman for mercy. The chaos within the boss’s of...

Sitting at his computer, Herman completed a series of stock acquisitions with quiet satisfaction.
Everything had unfolded exactly as he predicted. The moment Tony Stark announced the shutdown of Stark Industries’ weapons division, the stock price went into free fall.
Even the capital groups that had stayed calm and simply observed after Stark’s disappearance were now rushing to dump their shares without hesitation. To most people, Tony Stark was a genius weapons maker, not a b...

When had Tony Stark ever been treated this way?
“It’s late. Time to head back for the press conference. And thank your boss for me—looks like he knows who the most important man in this country really is.” Tony didn’t want Coulson dragging this out any further.
He gave him a thin, insincere smile and nod, then headed off with Pepper and Yinsen toward the waiting sedan. Happy h...

Shakky held an empty cup and gestured toward Ortoren. “See him? Recognize him? He’s here for you.”

He even looked ready to bolt. Ortoren was caught...

On the tavern street of the Sabaody Archipelago, Tesoro came out of a back door hauling a trash barrel. With effort, he dumped it into the garbage bin.
He quickly returned the bin, which was nearly as tall as himself.
Not long after, he crouched beside the bin, counting a stack of tattered bills, his face lit with joy.
“Another two thousand Belly saved today. Almost there… just a little more… Stella...” Tesoro muttered, eyes full of longing for a better future.

As the four returned to the Northern Tower, Hela immediately dove onto the big sofa.
Wanda and Gwen stayed close to Lorien. Wanda tilted her head curiously toward him.
“Sylvie said they can track us down through history, but you don’t seem worried.”

The truth was, when they first heard the other side could go back to the past, both women had been worried. But the more they thought about it, the less r...

Finally.
Because of Hela’s refusal to acknowledge her as a sister, Sylvie’s mood sank a little.
Of course, it wasn’t a big deal. After all, they had no real emotional bond. To be precise, Sylvie only felt the way a traveler might upon unexpectedly meeting someone from their hometown. It wasn’t family affection.
With that, the recognition phase was over. Everyone knew who was who now, and the conversation could return to the real topic.

Strictly speaking, Sylvie was quite beautiful.
Though she also bore the name Loki, her true name was Sylvie. Her hair was a dark golden shade, and she wore a small-horned crown—far less ostentatious than Loki’s. At the moment, she was still wrapped tightly in her cloak, one hand clenched against her palm, barely daring to breathe.
But once Lorien exposed her, Sylvie finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.
