Lin Feng shrugged. It was a wonder Loki could keep up such a flawed act.
He probably didn't know that Lin Feng had already seen everything.
Outside the palace, a rather impressive weapon was aimed at the entire structure.
As if by chance, Lin Feng searched his memory and actually recalled this thing.
It was a powerful weapon belonging to the Time Variance Authority.
The retCAn ray emitter.
Hmm... this meant the TVA and Loki were in cahoots.
Lin Feng felt it was practically confirmed.
No wonder Wang Xinyong had told him to find the Ancient One in three days and warned him that the TVA was after him.
Lin Feng remembered Wang Xinyong had hesitated then, wanting to tell him to watch out for something specific from the TVA.
This must have been it.
He had to admit, they thought highly of him, bringing out the so-called strongest weapon right away.
Once hit by this weapon, the target's historical experience and very existence would be completely erased from the timeline.
This weapon was typically used on certain timelines.
For instance, if a timeline had been altered too much, to the point where it couldn't be fixed by normal means, the ray emitter would be deployed for erasure.
Its power and authority far surpassed the little green batons they carried.
This was all Lin Feng remembered about the weapon's design, and he wasn't even sure where he'd read it.
The ray weapon looked ancient, and Lin Feng could see it was continuously charging.
"Trash..." Lin Feng thought to himself.
This thing, and it thought it could hit someone?
Loki must have brought him to this palace precisely to be ambushed.
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze.
He felt a flicker of confusion, wondering how Loki had gotten involved with the TVA.
Loki had been apprehended by the TVA for using the Tesseract.
Now, without the Tesseract to use, how could he have become involved with them?
After some thought, Lin Feng spoke directly, "Are you happy being king?"
The unexpected question made Loki's heart skip a beat.
Ever since he started speaking, Lin Feng had seemed to be hinting at something.
"Being king, it's alright... there are many bothersome things to deal with..." Loki calculated the timing, continuing to play word games with Lin Feng.
"Bothersome things?"
"Like being banished to the universe by your own adopted son?" Lin Feng flipped the table.
No more pretense, it was time to lay cards on the table! I know there's something wrong with you, you bastard!
With a swish, Loki stood up, fear flashing in his eyes.
"Esteemed Lin Feng, what are you saying? I don't understand at all."
Loki attempted a final struggle.
Lin Feng pursed his lips.
He had just thought Loki's acting was good, and now it had fallen apart so quickly?
He was sweating profusely, Your Royal Highness.
"Look, Loki, haven't you noticed that the one behind you is prepared to abandon even you?" Lin Feng sighed, pointing outside the door.
Loki instinctively looked outside.
BOOM!
In less than a second, the ray suddenly blasted towards the palace.
A torrent of light surged and washed over them.
The palace crumbled instantly, vanishing without a trace.
Lin Feng and Loki were engulfed by the beam. Only ten seconds later did the light cease, though its residual glow lingered.
The power of time, terrifying indeed!
Hummm!
After firing the ray, the machine seemed to wilt.
From behind the ray weapon, a small team emerged.
Their uniforms were identical, unmistakably the TVA.
"Captain, do you think he's dead?"
Among the team, a member asked the leader, a large woman.
The large woman sneered.
"What do you think?"
"Have you ever seen anyone survive a retCAn?"
The large woman was one of the very senior members of the TVA.
In all her time, she had truly never encountered an enemy that the retCAn couldn't eliminate.
"No, Captain, look..." the team member pointed forward, his expression horrified as if seeing something unbelievable.
The large woman looked ahead.
Her hundred-kilogram frame instantly froze.
The tables had turned so suddenly!
Their target stood before them, completely unharmed, watching them with a calm expression.
Even Loki was unscathed.
However, Loki was clearly terrified, having reverted from his Odin disguise and now sitting on the ground.
Once he recovered, Loki erupted in fury, jumping up and yelling.
"Damn it! Didn't you say you'd teleport me out before the strike?"
What followed was a classic rant about betrayal, and no one knew where Loki had learned it.
He was truly scared, and truly enraged.
He had always been the one to burn bridges after crossing them; today, he had been burned.
Humiliation!
The large woman cast a dismissive glance at Loki.
In her eyes, working for the TVA was Loki's honor.
"Teleport you out? What if Lin Feng detected it?"
"But it's useless to say this now."
"I didn't expect even a weapon of this caliber to be unable to harm you..."
The large woman stared at Lin Feng cautiously, starting to have second thoughts.
The information from above indicated Lin Feng was extremely dangerous.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to the destructive retCAn ray weapon immediately.
This thing wasn't usually used for direct combat.
She hadn't anticipated that even a surprise attack wouldn't eliminate Lin Feng.
Lin Feng chuckled and spread his hands.
"Is that all?"
"The TVA sent only this few people to deal with me?"
You underestimate Silver Superman that much?
Let alone causing me harm, your bio-force field can't even break through.
If Lin Feng were a native creature of the Marvel universe, this beam, even if it couldn't erase him, would have caused him damage.
But unfortunately, Lin Feng wasn't!
These few people were not even considered a light snack in Lin Feng's eyes.
"Don't be arrogant! The TVA already knows what you've done!"
"I advise you to surrender obediently and return what you took from the TVA. I can speak a good word for you during the trial!"
The large woman spouted some official rhetoric.
She knew her team was no match for Lin Feng and could only try to intimidate him, hoping he'd be scared.
Lin Feng thought she was delusional, acting like a cliché from a novel.
After I'd already committed grand theft at the TVA, you expect me to surrender?
"Stop spouting this pointless nonsense."
"I have nothing to give, and you can't take my life."
"I won't kill you this time. Hurry up and scram," Lin Feng didn't have the intention to kill.
This large woman, on screen, was a pitiable individual deceived by the TVA.
Lin Feng truly detested the TVA, not these poor souls who were used as tools.
