The interrogation process can be said to be very smooth.
TVA agent Rick did not use a steely will to overcome the control as she said.
In the orange light illuminated by the Mind Stone, the psychological defense that Rick had finally built was almost as fragile as tender tofu. The raging psychic storm showed destructive potential and easily controlled the agent.
This solved a doubt in Lord's mind, that is, TVA agents are not immune to the infinite stones.
Under Rick's instructions, Lord had a general understanding of the structure and origin of TVA.
In the extremely distant future era, a certain supreme being formed the TVA Space-Time Change Management Bureau, which is dedicated to supervising, adjusting, and ultimately balancing the large number of timelines in the multiverse containing infinite variables. They will abandon those that are abandoned or chaotic. timeline, and try to prevent any existence that may cause a time paradox.
But there is something very interesting about what Rick mentioned.
That is, her group of space-time agents were recruited through special channels and were not the original copies of the Space-Time Management Bureau.
In fact, all the agents originally used to perform tasks were individuals copied by TVA.
But at an unknown time period, those cloned individuals, for some unknown reason, collectively launched a rebellion called the 'Time War' against the director of the TVA Space-Time Administration.
The rebellion caused great damage, and the last director fell as a result.
The most serious consequence of that 'Time War' was that countless timelines in the multiverse that were supposed to continue to exist were thrown into an unknown chaotic flow, and then over a long period of time those timelines were created. 'intersection'.
Between the collision of countless possibilities, a chaotic time and space was born!
Since the birth of that chaotic time and space, it has been like an abyss, madly devouring countless multiverses. After integrating countless huge and mixed timelines, the ripples in time and space almost caused the entire multiverse to collapse.
Finally, there are the three time and space judges of TVA, who temporarily take over the powers of the Time and Space Administration.
Faced with the threat of the collapse of the entire multiverse, the Space-Time Administration, with the assistance of countless multiverse-level overlords, worked hard to suppress that chaotic time and space and threw all the rebellious copy agents into it.
After the 'Time War' ended, TVA officially reformed.
They abandoned the practice of clone agents and instead selected them from various universes, and used time and space bracelets to restrict them to prevent another rebellion and trigger a second 'Time War'.
In order to prevent the recurrence of "chaotic time and space", TVA took a second measure.
That is, among countless multiverses, an optimal timeline has been selected as the 'sacred timeline' that must be protected. As long as this timeline is still alive, chaotic time and space will never appear.
Therefore, anything that may cause the sacred timeline to deviate from the right track will be eliminated by TVA with maximum strength.
This is also the sacred mission that every space-time agent is told after joining TVA. It is the most important thing that they must protect at the expense of themselves.
After listening, Lord came up with an idea.
The so-called 'Time War' by the Space and Time Administration may be the 'War in Heaven' that he has been pursuing, because the two have many almost similar similarities in terms of descriptions, and some of the contents can also be matched.
But it's a pity...
Rick doesn't have enough time and space authority, so this is all he knows.
If he wants to determine the relationship between the 'Time War' and the 'War in Heaven', he can only ask TVA in the future.
Given TVA's style, it's obviously unlikely that they would tell him obediently.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that what will greet him in the future will definitely be a bloody battle.
Immediately afterwards, Lord asked them about their mission this time.
Rick said that their mission this time was that TVA suddenly detected an unknown time and space. The timeline in this time and space has deviated greatly, and there is even a faint tendency to threaten the sacred timeline, so they sent agents to investigate the abnormality. Change the reasons and correct the deviated [historical process].
"Is it a deviated timeline..."
Lord's brows twisted into the word "Chuan" and he chewed the contents over and over again.
Judging from Rick's descriptions before and after, it goes without saying that he is the cause of the current changes in time and space, and the time and space he is in has threatened the order stability of the [Holy Timeline], so it attracted TVA look.
so......
From the beginning, he had no room for maneuver!
As the guardian of the Holy Timeline, TVA will definitely use all means to eliminate this 'unstable' factor.
"Let me ask you, if you didn't go back, would TVA send people here again?" Lord took a deep breath to calm down the restlessness in his heart, and then asked.
"Will do."
Rick's face was expressionless, his eyes were as dull as a marionette's, and he said: "Once the scheduled return time passes, our bracelets will activate the self-destruction device. After TVA receives the news that the bracelets have been destroyed, they will dispatch a special time team to the front. Come, suppress the mutation at all costs."
Lord raised his eyebrows: "At all costs?"
"Yes, at all costs." Rick nodded and said: "If the mutation cannot be completely eliminated, then TVA will choose to eliminate the time and space to stabilize the order of the sacred timeline."
Destroy the entire space and time...
Lord's eyelids twitched fiercely, and when he heard this, he cried out in his heart, these people are so cruel!
"This is... the justice that TVA believes in. Kill one to save a hundred. The majority is always higher than the minority."
Rick seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and then said: "In the eyes of the three time and space judges, the importance of the sacred timeline is above all else. Even if they need to destroy more than half of the multiverse, they will not hesitate at all. .”
Lord frowned. Although he did not agree with this theory, he could not find a reason to refute it.
This is like the classic trolley problem, except that the situation faced by TVA is more severe and cannot be measured by pure moral standards. The weights placed on the scales for comparison are the multiverse and as immeasurable as the number of sands in the Ganges. life.
If it were you, which one would you choose?
Is it a sacred timeline that must be protected even if half of the multiverse is wiped out?
Or would you rather protect every multiverse but cause the sacred timeline to collapse, eventually releasing that 'chaotic time and space' and triggering the collapse of countless multiverses?
Law, morality, and humanity have no meaning at this moment.
The only criterion of value is the quantity. The majority is prioritized over the minority to decide whether to continue to protect the sacred timeline. This is the judgment standard of the three time and space judges of A.
"You...can't escape..."
Rick suddenly broke free from the restraints and showed a ferocious smile: "The three judges will discover...the time and space changes here...and you...will face it. ....The most powerful people in countless multiverses...are composed of hunting mutants!"
"You...will lose!"
"I...wait for you...right in hell...hahaha..."
"Okay, I'll wait for them."
In the depths of Lord's eyes, there seemed to be endless aura flowing, and he said indifferently: "I forgot to tell you one thing. The hell you called it is under my control."
Rick's eyes widened and he wanted to say something else.
"Bye now."
Lord has slowly raised his hand, gently caressing Rick's head, and spiritual pressure pours out from his palm like a torrent.
boom!
The next moment, Rick disappeared into ashes.
All traces of its existence have been completely wiped out, with not a trace remaining.
