Chapter 107: The Time Variance Authority Cannot Trap Hode, Transcending Beyond Time and Reality!
The Time Variance Authority.
The Judge's Office.
An African-American woman sat in the office, flipping through the documents on her desk.
As her pen kept signing and reviewing, the expression on her face grew increasingly solemn.
"What on earth is going on?"
The woman couldn't help but mutter to herself, her face filled with confusion.
"Renslayer, is something wrong?"
A mustached man nearby noticed the strange look on Renslayer's face.
It was rare for Renslayer to show such an expression!
"Mobius, take a look at this file!"
Renslayer stood up and handed the file to Mobius beside her.
"Let me see."
After taking the file, Mobius instinctively stroked his mustache before reading the contents.
When he saw the contents, the smile on his face instantly vanished.
He flipped through the documents rapidly, his expression becoming increasingly grave.
"How is this possible?!"
After Mobius finished reading the contents, the expression on his face became very strange.
His mind was a jumbled mess; he simply couldn't understand what was going on.
Logically, it shouldn't have turned out this way, but everything happening now was simply too irrational.
"I was just thinking about that same question."
Ravonna Renslayer took a deep breath, stood beside Mobius, and turned to one of the pages: "Look, this person violated the rules of the Sacred Timeline over a year ago, yet we only discovered it now!"
She had already noticed something very wrong when she first saw these documents.
It could even be said that such a thing had never happened within the entire Time Variance Authority.
After all, once a timeline is altered, they would detect the anomalies through future sensing.
The machines would also sound an alarm immediately to help them correct the timeline.
But this Sacred Timeline was completely different; even though something had clearly gone wrong long ago, it had never issued a warning.
It could even be said that such a thing was unheard of.
"I can't understand how this was done. Is it possible that after he changed the timeline, it still returned to the correct path?"
Mobius could only speculate this, but that shouldn't be possible.
Because timelines are extremely difficult to control; at least until now, such a situation had never occurred.
"It's not very clear right now, but you should also know what this actually means!"
Ravonna Renslayer shook her head, her fingers tapping incessantly on the desk.
She had seen many outrageous entities, but even so, it was impossible for them to remain hidden in front of them.
After all, since the founding of the Time Variance Authority, they had been able to keenly detect deviations in the timeline.
Such deviations naturally refer to problems that should not occur in the timeline.
For example, if A was supposed to die but inexplicably survived, or even if A was supposed to do something but didn't.
Even for the smallest issue, they were able to detect it clearly.
But when this incident occurred, everything that happened completely exceeded their expectations.
Ravonna Renslayer stared fixedly at the documents, unable to figure out how this had evaded their investigation.
The time criminal in this file not only failed to do what was required, but also did a whole bunch of things that should not have been completed by him.
Even this notebook couldn't fully list them out, such as things like being a mountain climbing champion; this was supposed to be his name, yet it was replaced by him.
So, no matter how you look at it, this information is very wrong.
It even affected the entire timeline!
"And look at the data shown above; this is obviously wrong too, because although he changed the course of events, the timeline was not affected!"
Mobius pointed to a line of text in the documents.
Because judging from the situation above, this guy seemed like an anomaly.
No matter what he did, the timeline seemed to ignore his existence.
Whatever was supposed to happen would still happen; even if it had been changed, it wouldn't affect subsequent developments.
This kind of thing was very strange; it was as if this timeline could tolerate what this time criminal did, and it wouldn't have any impact on time.
Even if a major change occurred, with people who shouldn't die dying, or people who shouldn't live living, there would be no impact at all.
No matter how you look at it, this is very wrong!
"Right, I keep feeling like there is some kind of power escorting him!"
Ravonna Renslayer also voiced her own conjecture.
Otherwise, there would be no way to explain why the documents they saw were so chaotic.
Normally, if a timeline deviates, it would gradually head toward destruction within a short period.
This is no joke; the butterfly effect is terrifying.
This is equivalent to a program where someone accidentally changed a part of its running path.
Although the program might run for a while, it would eventually run into problems very quickly.
But the current situation is that this program not only didn't crash, but instead started running in a form that no one could understand.
And it ran very smoothly, even much better than before.
"Perhaps there is a powerful entity influencing all of this!"
Mobius slowly stated his thoughts.
Now, this is the only possibility left.
Otherwise, there is simply no way to explain what has happened.
"Then what should we do now?"
What really gave Ravonna Renslayer a headache was how to handle it.
After all, this time criminal was just too weird.
"Let's first see what his current status is!"
Mobius took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
Only by figuring out what exactly is going on with this guy can they prescribe the right remedy.
"B-15 is currently executing the arrest!"
Ravonna Renslayer returned to her seat and tapped the keyboard a few times, and the contents appeared.
In one of the surveillance screens, a young man was being brought by B-15 to the Authority's registration hall.
"Is this the young man who changed the timeline?"
Mobius examined the man's appearance, stroking his mustache as he muttered.
"They are back!"
Ravonna Renslayer nodded slowly and casually closed the file.
On the cover of the file was the information about this time criminal.
Name: Hode
Race: Human
...
...
Inside the Time Variance Authority registration hall.
Hode had soldiers standing on both his left and right sides.
However, there was not a hint of nervousness on the faces of these soldiers.
Instead, it was as if they had just casually brought someone back here.
"The interior of the Authority is really retro."
Hode looked around the hall, curiously examining everything around him.
Actually, he had been curious about the Time Variance Authority for a long time.
He just didn't expect to be brought here at this time.
Moreover, this place exuded a European style from the 1970s and 80s.
"Kang the Conqueror is really nostalgic."
Hode thought to himself.
After all, this style seemed far too outdated.
Even the surrounding walls were slightly yellowed; someone who didn't know better might think they had been brought to a film studio.
And looking at everything around him, he always had the feeling that he had traveled through time.
After all, except for the soldiers beside him, everyone else was dressed exceptionally plainly.
"The power within me has been suppressed."
Just then, Hode clearly felt the powerful energy within him gradually disappearing.
No, it was suppression.
It was being gradually compressed and unable to be called upon.
"Huh, this seems a bit interesting!"
After Hode felt this power, he didn't panic; instead, his face showed a bit of contemplation.
Actually, he had heard about why it would turn out this way before.
This is the Zero Zone, a realm that exists outside of normal space and time.
This area contains remnants of abandoned timelines and Universes that no longer exist in normal time.
It is a very special space, without the rules of those common Universes.
Even the Infinity Stones cannot be used here.
It is also because of this reason that people who come here are basically suppressed directly.
No matter how powerful their previous strength was, they would have no way to deal with them.
After all, after coming here, even the power originally contained in the physical body cannot be used.
Furthermore, there are machines here that adjust the speed, and there is simply no way to resist.
However...
The special space seems unable to suppress the Phoenix Force.
Hode clearly felt the suppressed energy within him gradually recovering.
"It seems that their suppression power here is not all-powerful!"
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up; if that's the case, then things would get interesting.
After all, if he could control the Phoenix Force, it would mean he could unseal other powers.
Recovering all his strength in a place like this meant that the people of the Time Variance Authority would be no different from ordinary people in front of him.
"Hey, you can't do this!"
The iron door next door opened, and a man struggled to run out: "This is illegal imprisonment! Let me go back! I am the heir to the Shengsi Group!"
As he spoke, he looked back warily behind him.
That desperate roar echoed throughout the registration hall.
"Time criminal is openly resisting; enforcing judgment."
The soldier who chased him out hit the man with an electric baton.
The man looked at the soldier in disbelief; he couldn't help but look down, and all he could see was his entire body gradually being eroded and disappearing!
Hode watched all of this with indifference throughout.
The weapons they used were quite interesting; after all, it was as if they were deleting files, formatting the person directly.
"If you resist, the outcome will be the same."
The African-descended woman on the side suddenly spoke: "My name is B-15; you had better not think about resisting."
After all, quite a few time criminals tried to find ways to resist after being locked in here.
Those who are capable of changing time are basically not easy to deal with.
So, this kind of thing can be said to be very common here.
Hmm."
Hode's expression was as calm as water, and he didn't even show the slightest fluctuation regarding the death of the man just now.
Instead, he even looked a bit unsatisfied, as if he hadn't had his fill.
B-15, seeing this, was surprised by Hode's composure.
She had never seen anyone like this; even those who claimed to be gods were never this calm.
After all, that was making a powerful person vanish into thin air; no matter how strong a person was, they would feel fear.
But B-15 still followed the rules and warned him, "Inside the Time Variance Authority, no superhuman abilities can be used. You are just an ordinary person now, so don't bother dreaming about escaping or disobeying orders."
After all, these people were waiting to be judged by them.
If he could just be obedient, that would be for the best, and it would save them quite a bit of time.
After all, the workload here every day was immense.
"Hmm."
Hode just glanced at B-15 indifferently before shifting his gaze to look around carefully.
It was as if he hadn't taken B-15's words to heart at all, instead observing everything around him on his own.
B-15, seeing this, frowned slightly because this Time Variant was just too strange.
It could even be said that she had never seen such a calm person before.
No matter what happened, he remained submissive and accepting.
She had originally thought he only followed them because his high level of skill gave him the courage, but it didn't seem like that at all.
In the Judge's office.
"He looks so strange. How can every move this Time Variant makes be so calm!"
Mobius frowned and observed carefully.
Quite a few people had pretended to be calm when they arrived here before.
But after seeing the fate of those who resisted, they would all be trembling with fear.
Even those who claimed to be powerful gods were as fragile as a piece of paper when they came here.
Yet, this person named Hode gave him a very strange feeling.
"I think so too. His actions are simply too calm, as if he had already anticipated what would happen."
Ravonna Renslayer agreed.
Although this person appeared to be the type who would listen to whatever was said.
In reality, he simply hadn't taken what was happening to heart at all.
It could even be said that he gave people the impression that he was just here for a tour.
Although it sounded strange, this person just gave them that feeling.
"Could there be something odd about this guy?"
Mobius stroked his mustache and slowly voiced his speculation.
Generally speaking, only those with enough confidence would be so dismissive of everything.
He didn't believe there was anyone who truly didn't care about their own life.
"I'm not sure, but let's keep watching. Maybe we can notice some clues!"
Ravonna Renslayer shook her head and continued in a helpless tone.
After all, all they could do now was continue to observe.
"Put this on."
B-15 picked up a collar from the side and handed it over casually.
After all, Hode was so obedient that she didn't even need to use force.
He was the type to do whatever he was told.
Hode took the collar and examined it carefully.
This collar must be the thing that could control the flow of time.
He looked at the mark on it with curiosity.
"Aren't you going to put it on? Do you need me to help you?"
B-15 was stunned again; this guy was simply too calm.
But seeing Hode playing with the collar, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Hearing B-15's words, Hode slowly looked up: "How do I put this thing on? Can you teach me?"
"You don't even know how to do this?"
B-15 took a deep breath, and with an annoyed look, walked in front of Hode, intending to help him put on the collar.
But the moment she got close to Hode, Hode moved.
Hode moved with lightning speed, directly placing the collar onto B-15's neck.
"What are you doing!"
B-15 came to her senses, full of fury, and tore off the collar.
At the same time, she suddenly drew an electric baton from her waist and swung it at Hode.
Boom!!!
In an instant.
Hode's eyes erupted with golden light, and two beams of Heat Vision directly melted the electric baton and B-15's hand.
"Ah!!!"
B-15 clutched her hand and crouched on the ground, wailing and screaming.
This happened too suddenly; she didn't even have a chance to resist.
Ravonna Renslayer and Mobius saw this scene through the monitor, and their scalps went numb!
How is this possible!
No one can use special abilities in the Zero Time Zone!
Even the Infinity Stones would lose their power!
...
Chapter 108: Bloodbath at the Time Variance Authority, God among men, ruling everything!
In the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.
"Will Hode be alright? He still hasn't returned!"
Wanda paced back and forth anxiously, her face full of worry.
She didn't even know how those people had appeared.
And the moment they appeared, they all felt immense pressure.
It was as if they could easily do things that they themselves could not.
"I'm not sure. What is certain is that those people are very strong, even stronger than us!"
Hela shook her head gloomily, but finally forced a smile and said, "However, I believe Hode will definitely be able to deal with them!"
When that group of people appeared, even her nightswordwas trembling slightly.
Even though they looked like a bunch of ordinary people from their dress and appearance, they brought her a tremendous sense of oppression.
She was certain that if she were to act, she wouldn't be able to deal with them at all.
Furthermore, the way this group appeared was very strange.
And they were clearly coming for Hode.
More importantly, Hode seemed to know exactly who they were.
He even followed them away very calmly, without any intention of resisting.
But the more that was the case, the stranger it was; Hode's temper shouldn't be that good.
"I hope so..."
Wanda clasped her hands together and prayed silently in her heart; the only thing she hoped for was that Hodewould return safely.
As long as he could return safely, that would be enough.
"That guy is so strong, it's impossible for anyone to do anything to him!"
Thor didn't look worried at all; in his eyes, someone who could be stronger than his father must be the strongest existence in the World.
Since that was the case, there was no need to worry about any accidents.
"There is an emergency!"
Just then, an Asgardian Guard rushed in from outside, his face full of panic.
"As a warrior, why are you in such a panic!"
Seeing the anxious look of the Asgardian Guard, Thorfrowned and scolded him.
This panic was simply a disgrace to their dignity as Asgardians.
"Enough."
Hela waved her hand to interrupt Thor, then asked, "What happened?"
She knew very well that although the Asgardian Guards were average in strength, their strength lay in their obedience.
Generally, they would absolutely not act like this; it was highly likely that something major had happened.
"Just now, Heimdall discovered an unidentified mothership approaching the God Realm!"
"And judging from the actions of that unknown mothership, the other party is very likely an enemy!"
The Asgardian Guard forced himself to calm his nervous demeanor and hurriedly spoke to tell the whole story.
After all, the opponent's mothership was not only massive in scale, but it was also evident from its appearance that it was covered with various weapons.
"An unidentified mothership?!"
Hela's expression instantly became extremely serious; she had not expected to encounter such a thing at this moment.
One must know that Odin had just passed away, and the appearance of uninvited guests was definitely not a good thing.
Furthermore, the opponent was coming aggressively and was very likely aiming directly at Asgard!
"Let's go take a look!"
Hela gritted her teeth and walked quickly outside; now, they had to figure out the opponent's purpose to determine their next course of action.
Thor and the others hurried to follow behind.
After all, they didn't know what the situation was; if it really was an enemy invasion, then something truly major would happen!
Soon, everyone had arrived at the Bifrost Bridge.
"Goddess of Death Hela, you have finally come!"
After seeing Hela appear, the stern look on Heimdall's face relaxed quite a bit.
Hela just nodded slightly, then immediately looked at the unidentified aircraft carrier through Heimdall.
It was a massive mothership, and its terrifying wings seemed capable of blotting out the sky and sun.
What was even more terrifying was that this mothership was loaded with all kinds of weapons.
And she was very familiar with this appearance.
The moment she saw the aircraft carrier, her pupils contracted rapidly.
"That is Thanos!"
The moment Loki saw that terrifying Sanctuary mothership, he couldn't help but exclaim.
He never expected that it was actually that guy, Thanos!
"Damn it! Has this guy finally lost his patience?!"
The expression on Hela's face became exceptionally ugly.
They had previously heard that something had happened to the Dwarves, but they hadn't sent anyone to investigate yet.
Because Odin had passed away during this period, there was simply no way to spare suitable personnel to conduct an investigation.
Now that she saw Thanos had come, she vaguely guessed that this damned guy could no longer suppress his ambition.
Plus, now that Odin had passed away, this was indeed the best opportunity for them.
Inside the Time Variance Authority.
"This... this is impossible!"
Ravonna Renslayer looked at the surveillance footage and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
This was the first time she had seen such a situation; one had to know that after everyone entered, their powers would be suppressed.
Therefore, it should have been impossible to use any power, but the scene before her felt like her entire worldview was being overturned.
She didn't even know how this was actually achieved.
"My god, what kind of monster is this guy!"
Mobius was so shocked that his eyeballs were about to pop out.
Because this was simply impossible; they had never encountered such a situation before.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was dreaming!
One must know that the Zero Time Zone, this realm, exists outside of normal space and time.
This area contains remnants of abandoned timelines and Universes that no longer exist in normal time; it is a very special space.
Hode's extraordinary powers should not have been usable!
Moreover, it had been like this for so many years, so how could such an exception appear?
But now...
Hode had overturned their worldview!
It could even be said that they were now at a loss, not knowing what to do at all.
"This guy is not right; there must be something wrong with him."
Ravonna Renslayer grabbed the walkie-talkie on the side and shouted: "A Time criminal has broken free, proceed immediately! Guards, proceed immediately!"
The most important task now was to arrest Hode first.
Once he was allowed to escape, one couldn't even imagine what would happen!
Meanwhile, in the intake lobby.
"My hand... my hand is gone!"
B-15 was terrified, extreme pain radiating from her wrist; she clutched her bloody wrist and looked at Hode with a face full of horror.
She wondered if she had seen a legendary demon.
Why, why could someone still use their abilities when their power was suppressed?
This was simply impossible!
Looking at Hode's calm eyes, she was so scared that she couldn't stop trembling all over.
Fear and pain spread continuously like ivy.
Looking at Hode, who was close at hand, she couldn't help but step backward.
Although she was in great pain now, she wanted to be further away from this demon even more.
"Mind your limits in the future."
Hode spoke with a cold expression; he hadn't intended to take action originally.
But he didn't expect this person to actually intend to take action against him.
He had always been someone who couldn't stand being at a disadvantage, so he had instinctively retaliated.
"You demon."
B-15 retreated in fear until she hit the wall behind her.
She finally understood now why Hode appeared so cold and indifferent.
Because Hode's strength had not been imprisoned at all.
Although she didn't know how the other party managed to do it, she could be certain that this guy possessed the ability to kill her easily.
"He is right there!"
Rapid footsteps came from outside, and immediately after, a group of guards wearing black armor surrounded Hode.
Their faces were all filled with vigilant expressions.
Because this Time criminal's strength had not been sealed.
This meant that this person's danger level was very high!
After all, although the people here had abilities like modifying timelines.
They would definitely suffer damage when facing power-users.
"Surrender immediately now!"
One of the guards brandished his electric baton and roared with a stern expression.
If Hode hadn't been so dangerous, they probably would have already pounced on him.
"Don't be so agitated; I'm just planning to look around."
Hode spread his hands helplessly, looking at this group of people with a speechless expression.
Why couldn't they understand what he was saying?
And he was only trying to protect himself.
If it weren't for this woman's actions, he certainly wouldn't have struck without hesitation.
"Since you won't surrender voluntarily, don't blame us!"
The guards gripped their electric batons simultaneously and pointed them at Hode.
They were prepared to eliminate Hode at any moment.
The danger of this kind of Time criminal was simply too great; they absolutely could not wait any longer.
"You intend to challenge me with these little toys?"
Hode frowned as he looked at the surrounding guards, actively closing in on them step by step.
Although their technology was somewhat interesting, it was still too naive to deal with him.
As long as he was willing, he could completely destroy the entire Time Variance Authority right now!
Facing Hode's approach, the guards retreated continuously in fear.
They were human too, and they were afraid of death; they had seen B-15's fate.
Without 100% certainty, they didn't dare to make a move casually.
They just hoped that the Time criminal in front of them would honestly follow their commands.
"Stop him quickly!"
B-15, clutching her bleeding severed hand with painful eyes, shouted and scolded.
So many people couldn't possibly be unable to deal with this damned guy.
She wished she could eliminate this damned guy from time and space.
She had worked here for so many years, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation!
Hearing the angry scolding of B-15 from the side, the guards all breathed heavily.
Immediately after, they gritted their teeth and all rushed forward in a swarm.
After all, this was their superior, and subduing the Time criminal was indeed something they were supposed to do.
"Look at you all, why are you so agitated!"
Facing these guards who swarmed up, Hode spread his hands helplessly, and a dark red air wave burst from his body, directly blasting the guards away.
The moment they were blasted away, countless dark red energy seemed to encounter food, rapidly spreading upward along their bodies.
After their bodies came into contact with the dark red energy, they actually began to disintegrate rapidly, and accompanied by their painful screams, they turned into dust in the air.
At the same time, more guards rushed in from outside, charging toward Hode, but when they saw this scene, they all stopped their steps.
And the dark red air wave filling the air was still slowly spreading outward.
"What kind of monster is this guy!"
Their legs went soft with fear, and they fell to the ground.
Although they wanted to crawl up, their fear made them unable to resist at all.
They could only watch helplessly as their bodies began to turn into flying dust.
In the blink of an eye, the guards who dared to approach Hode had all turned into black particles, slowly drifting away.
"Don't come over!"
Only the last guard remained, trembling as he held his electric baton, not daring to step forward, his pupils constantly shaking.
To be honest, he now regretted running over; this demon was simply too terrifying.
He didn't even dare to get close; those dark red energy bodies were simply too terrifying.
Having worked here for so long, this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying thing.
"Come here."
Hode beckoned to this person impatiently.
These guys were really coming to die on their own initiative.
They were clearly so weak; if it weren't for technology, they would never be able to deal with those Time criminals.
It was just this group of guys' bad luck that they happened to run into him.
The guard trembled all over and didn't dare to move, even shaking his head continuously.
Whoosh!
Hode vanished from the spot instantly, and in just a fleeting moment, arrived in front of the guard.
He raised his fist violently, with dark red energy wrapping around his fist and flowing continuously.
The guard looked at this scene and was so scared that he fell on his butt to the ground, holding the electric baton in his hand and trembling constantly.
The expression on his face was like a poor young girl who had seen a criminal.
Although he was holding a weapon in his hand, he didn't even have the courage to fight back.
Although Hode raised his fist, the fist did not fall.
Instead, he grabbed the electric baton directly and poked it against his own body.
"The dignified Time Variance Authority uses this kind of thing to deal with me?"
Because this thing poked against his body had absolutely no effect at all.
He knew very well why it was like this; after all, he was not from this World.
The guard's scalp went numb, his face filled with fear.
B-15, curled up in the corner, looked at Hode in shock; there was actually someone in this World who could not be erased from the timeline!
Impossible to erase?!"
Ravonna Renslayer was deeply shocked as well.
She had never seen such a situation before; it completely defied her understanding!
"This is impossible. No one can stop themselves from being erased!"
Mobius's voice stuttered, and even his hands couldn't stop trembling.
Fear kept creeping up his spine.
Because even they, as employees of the Time Variance Authority, could not avoid it.
Everything they were seeing now once again overturned their understanding.
The baton, also known as "RetCan," would erase anyone chosen from reality! "705u.com-53 Reading Club"
Judge Ravonna Renslayer felt a chill down her back.
Cold sweat was already seeping through the pores on her back, even soaking her clothes directly.
Her mind went blank; she didn't even know what she should do.
"He cannot be erased..."
B-15 even forgot about the pain, only wanting to retreat backward.
But she had already hit the wall, and there was simply no possibility of escaping.
The guards who came to support were stunned.
In the past, they were fearless precisely because they relied on the weapons in their hands.
Now, the weapons were useless against Hode.
B-15 seemed to suddenly remember something, looking at the guards and roaring: "Damn it, use the Time Remote!"
The guard hurriedly took out the Time Remote.
The Time Remote could control and interfere with living beings, and could even pause a timeline or the life of a specific being.
The guard suddenly snapped back to reality and clumsily pressed the remote.
But Hode, standing before them, showed no reaction to their actions.
He continued to approach with large strides.
"Is this guy a robot?!"
B-15 was in complete despair.
This was simply a monster!
This move had never failed!
No living being could escape the restraint of the remote, unless the target was an "inanimate object."
"Don't bother."
Hode watched their actions, sighed helplessly, and shook his head.
An existence at the level of a single Universe had long since transcended time and reality.
It was normal that these things from the Time Variance Authority were useless against him.
Even outside the Zero Time Zone, the Time Stone would find it difficult to have any effect on him.
"Can someone tell me what exactly is going on with this guy?!"
Ravonna Renslayer stared at the screen in astonishment, not even knowing what she should do.
This kind of guy was simply impossible to control!
Meanwhile, Mobius's voice trembled incessantly, and he slumped powerlessly into his chair.
"There is only one possibility now."
"This guy has transcended beyond the timeline!"
...Drag.
Chapter 109: Female Loki, Sylvie, heads to the Void, the end of the timeline!
Mobius had worked at the Time Variance Authority his entire life.
He had seen countless people; one could even say he had seen quite a few gods.
So-called gods were nothing in front of them.
He had personally arrested countless numbers of them.
As long as they were on the Sacred Timeline, everyone was treated equally when they came to their Time Variance Authority.
But there was only one type that was not subject to the control of the Time Variance Authority.
That was an existence that had transformed to transcend beyond the Universe.
They had absolutely no means to control such an existence.
It was for this reason that they basically would not arrest such existences.
Because such existences were no longer under their jurisdiction.
However, he just couldn't understand why such an existence would be so obscure, without even any records in their archives.
"What a headache. How did we bring such an existence here?"
Ravonna Renslayer rubbed her temples and stood up, her face filled with a helpless expression.
However, this matter was indeed too strange.
Generally speaking, this should have affected the timeline, but Hode had actually not affected the timeline at all.
Furthermore, that timeline was still operating in a way never seen before.
Reasonably and logically speaking, what Hode did was not excessive.
As long as it didn't affect the development of the timeline, there wouldn't be any major problems.
"Ravonna Renslayer, let me go over there with you personally."
Mobius made the decision immediately.
The most important thing now was not to let this existence continue to cause trouble.
Inside the hall.
"What kind of monster are you?!"
B-15 couldn't stop shivering, and even her voice had become tremulous.
So many guards were actually unable to deal with him, and even their most prized weapons were as if they didn't exist in front of Hode.
Not to mention anything else, Hode could even dodge changes in time.
As for the other guards, it went without saying; the existence before them was completely different from those they had encountered before.
All weapons were useless; even if they swarmed him together, there would only be one possibility: they would be wiped out of existence.
So now, they couldn't attack, but they couldn't just stand there either; they could only stare fixedly at Hode before them.
Their expressions were filled with terror; their past arrogance and confidence had completely vanished.
All that remained was fear for the person in front of them.
Hode, however, had his hands in his pockets, looking at the corner of the corridor with a calm face.
He saw two people walking quickly toward his direction.
"Shut up! B-15!"
This lithe, beautiful figure quickly arrived not far from Hode, turned her head, and angrily scolded B-15.
This person was none other than Ravonna Renslayer, and her face bore an expression of anger.
"My Lord Judge!"
B-15 hurriedly covered her broken hand and lowered her head upon hearing this.
This was, after all, an existence from the upper echelons of their Time Variance Authority.
"Alright, that's enough!"
Hode's mouth curled up; he wasn't stupid, this was clearly just acting in front of him.
To put it plainly, it was because they were worried he would take action directly and finish off B-15 in the process.
One could even say that doing so was to save B-15's life.
"Hello, Mr. Hode!"
Ravonna Renslayer revealed a bitter smile; it seemed this existence had seen through her purpose at a glance.
However, this was normal; if she didn't speak up to scold her, she would have no way to stop B-15 even if she died.
Fortunately, the existence before her had no intention of blaming them at all.
When Hode saw the two people walking toward him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He had a deep impression of these two, but he hadn't expected that they would come to receive him personally.
So, facing Ravonna Renslayer's words, he just nodded slightly.
"We are truly sorry; we did not recognize Mr. Hode's identity."
Ravonna Renslayer bowed and apologized immediately.
After all, it was indeed their lack of careful verification of the records.
Otherwise, they should have been able to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
"Speaking of which, this probably isn't the place to talk."
Hode spread his hands and looked at the group of people around him, pretending to be helpless.
Although Ravonna Renslayer had arrived, the people around were still eyeing him covetously.
But there was no help for it; after all, the scene just now was simply too terrifying.
"Then please, Mr. Hode, move to our office so we can have a proper talk."
Ravonna Renslayer's hanging heart finally settled down a little upon hearing this.
After all, B-15 had offended Hode quite severely just now.
If he had really gritted his teeth and started a riot, she truly would have had no way to stop him.
Fortunately, this person was still willing to sit down and have a proper talk.
"I have some very good tea there, just right for Mr. Hode to have a taste."
Mobius, on the side, also hurriedly spoke up.
The tense expression on his face relaxed quite a bit.
If they had known earlier that it was such an existence, they wouldn't have bothered with such matters at all.
But there was no help for it; this was likely the first existence that had transcended the Universe that they had brought back.
Seeing the attitude of the two, everyone around was stunned.
The guards looked at each other in dismay; who could have imagined that these two would be so respectful toward Hode.
B-15 was shocked watching the scene unfolding before her; she had thought they would fight to the end.
But these two had actually backed down immediately, though this also showed just how powerful this person was.
Otherwise, how could their Time Variance Authority have swallowed this insult directly?
One had to know, never before had anyone dared to run rampant inside the Time Variance Authority.
Because usually, this place was under the protection of the Time Keepers.
Yet even so, not only did he do all this, but there was not even any punishment.
It could be said that today was already an exception.
"Let's go, I'm actually quite curious about your place here."
Hode nodded casually. He had to admit, there were quite a few interesting things inside the Time Variance Authority.
...
...
...
Inside the office.
"What, you want to see the Time-Keepers?"
After sitting down, Ravonna Renslayer opened her mouth in surprise.
She had not expected that Hode would say this as soon as he opened his mouth.
One had to know that the Time-Keepers were the most supreme beings here.
Even they had only seen the Time-Keepers from afar once.
"Yes, I need to discuss some matters with him."
Hode spoke without hesitation.
The reason he said this was simply because he wanted to have a good chat with that black guy.
He wanted to tell that damn thing not to disturb his timeline again.
After all, he was living quite well, and he didn't want to see this group of annoying guys coming here to bother him every few days.
Furthermore, he was well aware that he would definitely leave in the future, and he certainly didn't want to see the timeline reset or destroyed after he left.
If that happened, everything he had done would disappear without a trace.
Although he now had infinite lifespan, it didn't mean he wanted to do the same things repeatedly.
He had already treated his timeline as his home.
Although talking to the Time Variance Authority was useful, and these things were all done by the Time Variance Authority.
But He Who Remains, who was the biggest mastermind behind the Time Variance Authority, was ultimately still the Time-Keepers.
Only his word could make the Time Variance Authoritystop.
"No, that is absolutely impossible!"
Ravonna Renslayer frowned, even though Hode's strength was exceptionally powerful.
Even if Hode had already leaped beyond the Universe, it didn't mean he could see their Time-Keepers.
"Yes, if it is this request, we have no way to agree!"
Mobius, who was at the side, also nodded slowly with a solemn expression: "The sacred Guardian will not easily see outsiders."
As he said this, his gaze could not help but look at the background wall not far from the office.
It was a sculpture of three heads; that was precisely the Time-Keepers.
"But I am different. If he doesn't see me, I'm not sure what kind of things I will do."
Hode said, slowly raising his hand, and dark red Phoenix Force could be seen flowing slowly around his fingers.
Just by releasing a little bit of energy, the surrounding atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
Even that White wall changed the moment the Phoenix Force appeared.
It was as if it had been scorched by Fire, and the White wall turned black at this moment.
"Mr. Hode, we truly have no intention of being your enemy!"
Ravonna Renslayer saw Hode's appearance; how could she not know Hode's intentions?
But even so, she could only bite the bullet and refuse.
"If you have any matters regarding the '53 Reading Club', you can completely tell us, and we can also make a decision."
Mobius took a deep breath and spoke slowly in a trembling voice.
Although he didn't know what Hode wanted to do, matters concerning the timeline were all handled by them.
"You have no way to solve these matters."
Hode sneered and looked at the two with a disdainful expression: "Besides, I don't believe that if I destroy the Time Variance Authority, he won't appear."
Although these two had great power, that was all it amounted to.
It had to be said, Hode's naked threat indeed made the two turn pale.
Because Hode truly had such strength, they didn't even have the possibility of resisting.
"Mr. Hode, it's not that we are unwilling, but there is another point: the Guardian is not here."
Mobius let out a long sigh and continued in a helpless tone: "Even if you destroy this place, the Time-Keepers will not rush back."
He had figured it out; no matter what, the person in front of him was determined to see the Time-Keepers.
Compared to being destroyed, they could only honestly tell the other party the truth.
"Not here? Where is that guy now?"
Hode frowned; he really hadn't expected the Time-Keepers to actually leave the Time Variance Authority.
And judging from the reactions on their faces, what they said was the truth.
"He is now at the end of time, the Land of Nihility!"
Ravonna Renslayer gritted her teeth and said what she knew.
"The Land of Nihility?"
Hode was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Open a portal and let me go over!"
"That won't do!"
Ravonna Renslayer quickly waved her hand to stop him: "It's not that we won't let you go, but because the Land of Nihility is very dangerous."
When she said this, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
It was as if there was something she couldn't bring herself to say.
Mobius on the side was completely confused; he had never even heard of Nihility.
He could only stare wide-eyed at the two's conversation, though this seemed to exceed his knowledge.
"Dangerous? In what way?"
Hode had indeed heard of the Land of Nihility.
The Land of Nihility was formed from the head of a God.
And this head became the vast, boundless Land of Nihility.
It was an extremely special celestial body, which even later became a treasure of the Collector.
But although this place could be called dangerous, it shouldn't be that big of a problem.
Ravonna Renslayer looked at Hode in front of her, a look of hesitation appearing on her face.
After a long silence, she slowly said: "Because Alioth is there!"
"Alioth?"
Hode was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled the origins of Alioth.
Alioth existed across different timelines and could cause massive temporal interference and the destruction of an entire dimension.
It could expand to attack focus creatures or locations and suck in the bodies of time travelers.
In doing so, it increased its volume and mass, and once it occupied a certain time, the surrounding timeline would also be affected.
Alioth also negated temporal energy, preventing it from traveling to the time before it existed.
If that was the case, he understood why the Time-Keepersweren't here.
"So, now you still have no way to see the Time-Keepers."
Ravonna Renslayer shook her head with a helpless expression.
Although Hode's strength was very strong, it was still not enough in front of Alioth.
"Open the portal!"
But to her surprise, Hode still spoke slowly.
Looking at Hode's firm gaze, Ravonna Renslayer could only nod helplessly in agreement.
As Ravonna Renslayer opened the portal, Hode stepped directly into it.
Hode had already passed through the passage and arrived in a gray, dark World.
Looking around, it was a ruin, with black clouds rolling in the sky and lightning flashing.
Mobius looked at the scene on the other side of the portal and was also curious to go over, but was stopped by Ravonna Renslayer.
At this moment, behind them, a portal opened, a green figure rushed out, and rushed into the Nihility together with Hode.
"Sylvie!"
Ravonna Renslayer seemed to recognize the owner of the figure, but it was too late; the portal had already closed.
"Was that Sylvie just now?"
Mobius's head was also a mess.
"That's fine, her following over can be considered as resolving a crisis."
Ravonna Renslayer, however, was disdainful.
She didn't think Hode could survive unscathed after facing the layout set by the Time-Keepers.
And at the same time.
On Hode's side.
He was hit by something soft and fragrant.
Turning his head, it was a woman with short blonde hair, and she was even wearing a horned headband.
"Sylvie?"
Hode recognized her at a glance; it was Sylvie.
To be precise, it was a female Loki.
How could she have come over?
"Hiss..."
Sylvie rubbed her head and looked up at Hode with a puzzled expression: "Are you made of stone? How are you so hard?"
"Not on top, but on the bottom, I am."
Hode joked while sizing up Sylvie.
The current Sylvie looked more than ten years younger than in the show.
She looked to be in her twenties.
So, this might be the early Time Variance Authority.
"You really aren't afraid of death by following me here!" Hode said in a mocking tone.
"I live to see the Time-Keepers."
Sylvie's eyes were gloomy.
She had been hiding in the shadows, intending to find an opportunity today to sneak into the Time Variance Authority and find clues about the Time-Keepers, but she ended up running into Hode.
"Then aren't you afraid of me? Those guys are scared to death of me."
Hode said.
"Heh."
Sylvie smiled, "The people in the Time Variance Authorityare just ordinary people. It's nothing for an extraordinary being to take them out."
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky.
In the distance, a wall of black fog churned on the horizon.
Hode used his super vision; the scene miles away was instantly brought closer. Through the thick black fog, he could vaguely see a castle towering over the Land of Nihility.
"What are you looking at?"
Sylvie looked at the black fog on the horizon, but she couldn't see anything.
She could only see the debris on the ground in the distance being pulverized.
"I'm going to find the Time-Keepers. You can watch here by yourself."
She didn't look anymore and turned to leave.
"Idiot, the Guardians are behind the black fog."
"If you want to find the Guardians, follow me."
After saying this, Hode lifted his leg and walked straight toward the direction of the black fog.
Sylvie stopped, looking at Hode with hesitation, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and followed.
Chapter 110 Absolute Zero, entering the Ice Age now, the Time-Keepers cave in!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The howling wind swept up the dust on the ground.
The sound of the wind lingered in their ears.
The black fog on the distant horizon had completely enveloped the land, even merging with it.
A terrifying aura completely shrouded the Land of Nihility.
The closer they got to the black fog on the horizon, the more they could feel the blade-like intensity.
As the two of them got closer, they could clearly see the true face of this black fog.
Countless purple lightning bolts were roaming and roaring within the black fog, and the faint purple light illuminated it.
What shocked them most was that this wasn't black fog, but a black storm.
Boom!!!
The black storm was mixed with lightning, accompanied by bursts of roaring.
And this black fog was constantly sweeping and moving.
Three red dots were constantly appearing within the black fog.
Looking closely, it was clearly a pair of scarlet eyes and a terrifying blood-red mouth.
"Are you sure the Time-Keepers would be in a place like that?"
Sylvie looked at the black storm not far away and couldn't help but shrink back.
Just looking at it made her hair stand on end.
It gave her the urge to turn around and run.
Because the deterrent power of this thing was simply too terrifying.
It could even be said that standing below and looking up, it felt like seeing a wall with no boundaries.
And even more terrifying was that this black storm seemed to have a life of its own.
The constant roaring sounded as if it wanted to devour all living things that approached.
Judging from the aura coming from within, if she were to force her way in, she might even be pulverized by that terrifying black storm.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to go over, hurry up and follow."
Hode looked up at the black storm calmly, the strong wind constantly hitting his face.
But there was no fear in his eyes; instead, there was an indescribable meaning.
He had a deep memory of this black storm; he just hadn't expected to see it here.
The existence of this thing spanned across time; even if one wanted to find it, it would be very difficult.
"Why does this black storm seem like it's alive?"
Sylvie said her thoughts with a trembling voice.
She had clearly seen the eyes constantly flashing inside.
She had never seen such a strange thing.
And if this really was a black storm, how could it make even her feel fear?
"It is definitely alive; after all, it is the Alioth that Ravonna Renslayer mentioned."
Hode turned to look at Sylvie beside him with a faint smile, "Alioth will devour everything in the Land of Nihility."
He was now a bit impressed by this young girl; she dared to rush in without knowing anything about the situation.
"What?!"
Sylvie instantly remembered the records about Alioth.
She had never thought she would encounter such a monster.
She finally understood why Ravonna Renslayer hadn't stopped her earlier.
It was clear that she was just letting her come over to die.
What was even worse was that there was no way to back out now.
Because the portal had already closed.
Boom, hiss!!!
Just then, the black storm, filled with overwhelming pressure, quickly approached the two.
Although it looked very far away, when this black storm moved, it was extremely fast.
The moment the small hill not far away touched the black storm, it was like encountering a giant bulldozer.
In the blink of an eye, the small hill disintegrated, and even the stones were blasted into the air.
After the countless stones and soil were leveled, only a thin layer of powder remained.
"Damn Ravonna Renslayer!"
Sylvie's fur stood on end at this moment, and the expression on her face became incredibly ferocious.
She never thought that she would be tricked by that damn person.
With such an existence, she didn't even have the possibility of resisting.
Although she always boasted of being powerful, she couldn't just casually flatten a small hill!
And as Alioth got closer, the terrifying pressure made it hard for her to breathe.
"Sylvie, you're quite interesting. You've known nothing about the Time Variance Authority for so many years."
Hode pursed his lips, watching Sylvie lose her composure.
Only Sylvie would do such reckless things.
She even rushed in without knowing anything about the situation.
He had sensed Sylvie's presence in the Time Variance Authority office from the beginning.
It's just that at first, he thought it was some employee peeking.
"You make it sound like you know me very well!"
Sylvie was like a ruffled kitten, hands on her hips, staring straight at Hode.
In fact, she also felt that this person named Hode was very strange.
After all, ordinary people are usually timid after entering the Time Variance Authority.
Those who didn't listen had already been taken care of, but he not only had formidable strength.
He even made Ravonna Renslayer and Mobius treat him with a servile attitude.
More importantly, despite seeing such a terrifying existence as Alioth, he still looked unhurried.
"I do know you very well."
Hode looked Sylvie up and down with a half-smile.
Must say, this female version of Loki is much more interesting than that guy Loki who loves to stab people in the kidneys.
"Then tell me, what do you know about me!"
Sylvie looked up at Hode in front of her and said with disdain.
Although Hode had just called out her name, she wasn't too surprised.
She was Sylvie, after all; it was normal for someone to know her name.
"When you were a child, you were brutally taken away from Asgard by the TVA."
"However, after successfully escaping, you could only hide in apocalyptic environments for a long time, far from home, all alone."
"You once tried to overthrow the TVA's barbaric rule to regain your freedom and dignity, but you could only bear the name of a fugitive, hunted everywhere..."
Hode recounted everything that had happened to Sylvie in detail.
Must say, the Sylvie in front of him was just a pitiful person.
"You... you must have found out from the Time Variance Authority's data!"
Upon hearing this, Sylvie was stunned for a moment, then spoke bluntly.
She really hadn't expected Hode to know so many details.
However, in her view, this must have been because Hodehappened to see information about her while he was causing a scene at the Time Variance Authority.
"No need; although I don't know everything, I am very clear about most things."
Hode wasn't joking when he said this; after all, he was someone who had watched Marvel.
He had a deep impression of most of the plot and the direction of major events.
"Hmph!"
Sylvie crossed her arms and muttered with a pout, "Even if you do, what's the use? Unless you can deal with Alioth, none of us will make it through!"
Furthermore, Alioth was getting closer and closer to them now.
She had already prepared to find a way to escape; anyway, she could just think of other ways to deal with the Time-Keepers.
Meanwhile, inside the Time Variance Authority office.
Ravonna Renslayer sat alone in the office, the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a sneer of disdain.
Her eyes were fixed on the screen in front of her, and the people appearing in the frame were none other than Hodeand Sylvie.
"It's just too stupid to choose to go to your own death!"
Ravonna Renslayer muttered to herself with a cold smile.
Originally, she had planned to send this jinx back and then figure out a way to deal with him.
But this guy actually took the initiative to go to the Land of Nihility.
The reason she had tried to stop him earlier was just to put on an act.
For such powerful people, the more you try to stop them, the more they will insist on their own way.
She simply used reverse psychology to send Hode into the portal.
As for dealing with Alioth? That was simply wishful thinking.
No one in this World could escape Alioth!
Even existences that transcend the Universe have strengths and weaknesses, and what can this unknown guy Hode be considered?
"Just stay there and be devoured by Alioth!"
Ravonna Renslayer could hardly wait to see Hode and Sylvie being devoured.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let a smile tug at the corners of her lips.
...
...
Inside the Land of Nihility.
The black storm was drawing closer and closer to Hodeand Sylvie.
The gale caused by its rapid movement constantly swept up dust and blew it into the distance.
So much so that the entire sky was filled with dust, leaving only a gray haze as far as the eye could see.
As Alioth moved, it emitted terrifying roars, the sounds echoing throughout the entire Land of Nihility with an intimidating aura.
"It's over, that thing is coming!"
Watching Alioth draw closer, panic washed over Sylvie's face: "We have to run!"
If they didn't get out of the way, they would certainly be devoured by Alioth.
Just the thought of it made her tremble with fear.
"Get behind me!"
Hode stretched his body, looking toward the imposing Alioth in the distance with a nonchalant expression.
A faint dark red glow gradually appeared in his eyes, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.
"You aren't actually planning on fighting this big guy, are you?!"
Sylvie was stunned; she hadn't expected this guy named Hode to be so reckless.
This is Alioth! There's no way you can be its opponent!
What's the difference between going up to fight it and throwing your life away?
"Have you ever heard of Absolute Zero?"
Hode's voice was clearly filled with delight.
He spread his hands, his eyes actually filled with excitement.
When he was on Earth, he never dared to use his powers recklessly.
Not even the simplest Elemental Power, because his strength was simply too formidable.
If used casually, it would certainly cause extremely serious consequences.
That was why he hadn't really used his abilities properly until now.
Although he had gone to deal with Dormammu back then, that guy was an immortal existence within the Dark Dimension.
--- 0 Seeking Flowers --- 0
He couldn't be bothered to waste the effort just to give Dormammu a beating.
But Alioth in front of him was different, and besides, this was the Land of Nihility.
At the very least, it would allow him to use some interesting powers and have some fun.
"Absolute Zero?"
A flash of confusion crossed Sylvie's eyes.
She had never heard of such Sorcery.
Just then, she suddenly widened her eyes.
She saw the surrounding temperature begin to drop rapidly, and white snowflakes inexplicably began to fall from the sky.
Hode was surrounded by a biting chill.
Even his long eyelashes were covered in a thin layer of frost.
"Since you haven't seen it before, let me show you!"
The next second, Hode suddenly flung his hands upward.
In an instant, the ground turned into a glacier.
At the same time, the raging gale actually stopped, as if it had encountered some peerless power.
Even the dark clouds in the sky ceased all movement at that moment.
It was as if the entire World had been frozen in that moment.
Sylvie even saw that the air itself had been frozen, emitting a cracking sound.
Endless cold air enveloped everything within sight, rapidly spreading toward Alioth.
The cold air, resembling ice crystals, even overpowered the black storm.
It suddenly engulfed the black storm.
Roar!!!
Sensing the intruder, Alioth let out a terrifying roar.
It suddenly accelerated, lunging rapidly in Hode's direction.
The rolling black mist was like a terrifying dark cloud pouncing toward them.
...
0
Crimson eyeballs were constantly floating within the black mist as it lunged toward them.
Its massive form looked like an impenetrable wall.
Just then, that cold air intensified, with countless white crystals forming within it.
From a distance, it looked like a silver-white dragon in the sky.
Not only that, the snowflakes slowly drifting in the air formed even larger ice crystals at this moment.
As the snowflakes danced, they suddenly turned into a terrifying blizzard.
In the blink of an eye, everything except the area around Hode was covered in white snow.
Yet even so, the temperature continued to drop, and the snowflakes in the sky began to fall slower and slower.
Then, they transformed into fist-sized ice crystals.
"Go!"
Hode raised his finger and pointed at Alioth in the distance.
These countless ice crystals were like little sprites that could understand Hode's command.
They swept rapidly toward Alioth, and everywhere they passed, even the air was frozen and cracked.
The storm composed of black gas was clearly freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Hode hadn't just frozen the air! He had even frozen space itself.
"How on Earth did he do that!"
Ravonna Renslayer, who was watching the surveillance footage in her office, widened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion; she simply couldn't understand how Hode had managed this!
One had to know that this was Alioth, an existence that even time could not govern.
And what was even more terrifying was that she even noticed time itself beginning to freeze due to the appearance of this Absolute Zero.
In other words, Hode was even capable of solidifying time!
She never expected that Hode would possess such terrifying power.
Even the Time-Keepers were unable to achieve this.
Meanwhile, the black storm in the distance couldn't advance even a single step further.
That terrifying Absolute Zero not only froze its body, which was composed of black mist.
Even the lightning that was constantly striking within it began to stagnate.
Alioth opened its mouth to roar, but under the Absolute Zero, even making the slightest movement was extremely difficult.
The only thing it felt was that its body had begun to gradually shatter.
Within the Absolute Zero, it couldn't even put up any resistance.
"Stop!"
However, at this moment, a figure instantly appeared in front of the two.
This was clearly a black man wearing a purple robe.
"Guardian!"
Seeing this scene from her office, Ravonna Renslayer's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
She never imagined that the sacred Time-Keepers would actually appear.
But in the face of the Time-Keepers' intervention, Hode did not stop; instead, he accelerated the speed of the frost freezing.
"Sir, please stop!"
"If you have any requests, feel free to tell me!"
He Who Remains bowed his waist, speaking through gritted teeth in the most sincere tone possible.
Because if this continued.
It wouldn't just be Alioth.
I'm afraid the entire Land of Nihility would be frozen.
"The Time-Keepers are actually begging?! This... how is that possible!"
Ravonna Renslayer even thought she had misheard!
This was the sacred Guardian!
Just what kind of power does this guy Hode possess to make the sacred Guardian do such a thing!
at.
