The Death Knell

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in a red cloak plopped down on the floor in front of Deathstroke.

Accompanied by the improved roar of the sonic tunnel, the horse-headed man who was flying freely in space was caught directly. He seemed to have not adapted to the sudden change in gravity, and he bowed as soon as he came up.

The image of the adjutant beside him spread his hands and explained:

"He was looking around for Loki's location on the earth, and even went to New York to contact Daisy. I asked the resident mage there to secretly install a totem for him. In fact, at first I thought he was a horse totem. But it turned out he just had a horse’s head.”

"I can understand human English. It's just a coincidence that I look like a horse on Earth." The horse-faced thunder god turned over and quickly distanced himself from Deathstroke, holding a round-headed hammer in his hand to be alert. He looked around: "Where are you? Who are you?"

This opening is standard London English, an old alien.

"I am the Supreme Mage Deathstroke. You are wandering around the earth as an outsider, but you have never thought of reporting it to the relevant agencies?"

Su Ming looked at the strange man in front of him calmly, especially at the horse's face.

Beta Ray Bill, the horse-faced god of thunder, is an alien and a semi-mechanical creature. Although his head looks like a skinny, yellow-haired horse head, a bit like a skull, in fact, this guy just has a long head. Deji is a good person.

Unlike Cyborg who was forced to become a cyborg, he voluntarily accepted the transformation in order to protect his civilization.

The civilization he belonged to was called the Korbins. When their home planet exploded, a fleet escaped, and this fleet began a "Macross"-style wandering life in the universe.

There is a dark forest in the universe, and everyone without a home planet is a homeless dog. The originally peace-loving Clobins did not want to invade others, but they soon realized that they needed strength to protect themselves.

So they built a robot, but although the robot was very powerful, it seemed to be mentally retarded.

They thought it would be better to use smart heads to control the powerful bodies of machines, so they held a trial among the fleet.

It can be said that Beta passed various tests before he was awarded the honor of 'Guardian'. After defeating tens of thousands of candidates, he successfully proved his personality and wisdom to the entire clan.

Scientists removed his head and internal organs, obtained rare metals, and assembled a powerful brain-controlled cyborg.

Later, this ship group had some contact with Asgard. When he was young, Thor drank too much and took his friends on a flying boat in the universe. As a result, he crashed into a Clobin ship. He still refused to apologize and was not convinced. , you have to practice with others.

Then Thor was taken care of by Beta. Although he looked like a strong man with muscles, Beta still had a brain and was a warrior who fought with his mind.

Lost, got docked, sobered up, apologized.

The crew notified the God King Odin to fish for people, after all, the Father’s face still had to be given.

So Odin received the ship group in Asgard. In front of everyone, he didn't mention his son's drunken boating. He made another excuse, saying that because Beta won a wrestling match with Thor, he was a rare warrior. So he gave Beta a set of armor similar to Thor's, and a weapon called the 'Storm Hammer'.

This is how the nickname Horse Faced Thunder God came from.

But most of the time, Beta squats in his own ship and doesn't like to wander around. After all, the 'Guardian' job has heavy responsibilities.

Hearing the death knell to sign up, the horse-headed man was stunned for a moment, blinked his little eyes, and immediately put away his weapon and bowed:

"It turns out to be the Supreme Mage. I'm rude."

"It's a small matter. The earth welcomes well-intentioned alien friends. It just requires some procedures. You should understand." Su Ming smiled and asked the horse-headed man to find a place to sit. The hospital also has a small conference room for receiving guests. The environment is quite good.

Entering the conference room, Su Ming served him some drinks. He chatted with some common polite words, and then asked after taking his seat:

"Weren't you looking for Loki before? She is here. What is going on?"

The small eyes on the horse's face fell on the black-haired woman, and Beta sighed: "It's the Time Administration. They detained my fleet and asked me to help them find the destroyers of the sacred timeline, that is, many different Loki in time.”

"A scam, shameless." Female Loki scratched her hair and leaned back in her chair speechlessly: "Do you believe this kind of lie? The Supreme Mage and Agamotto are the guardians of time, and eternity is the embodiment of the concept of time. I’ve never heard of a body, a time administration, or a sacred timeline!”

The horse-faced thunder god was silent for a moment. He and Loki were considered acquaintances, but the words coming from the mouth of this liar god seemed not very credible?

Besides, the Clobins are a technological civilization. Although Beta knows the existence of the Supreme Mage, he has no idea about the mysterious side.

So he turned to look at Deathstroke, wanting to get a more precise answer.

Su Ming put his hand on his chest, and the green light suddenly lit up, connecting the ghost universe and the 40K universe, where the time stone can be used.

The wine bottle that Beta had just drank reappeared, and time went back. Deathstroke nodded and said:

"Loki is right. The Time Administration is actually a scam related to the 'end of time'. Their so-called 'Three Gods' are just AI with loopholes. There is no sacred timeline at all. They are not qualified to decide. Which 'possibility' is humanity's future?"

"Can you elaborate on the loophole you mentioned?"

Seeing the effect of the Time Stone, Beta agreed with Deathstroke's words. After all, just the amount of alcohol could lead to several possibilities, such as a future in which he was drunk, a future in which he was short-circuited, a future in which he was fine, and a future in which he spilled the wine. The future waits.

In the past, he was extremely stubborn and could not tolerate other possible TVA in his eyes. Now, the Supreme Mage plays with the timeline casually, but those people seem to be blind and do not dare to show up at all.

Who said what is true? This actually doesn't matter, Beta just needs to know who is stronger, and smart people should be on the side of the winner.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of a large-scale computer logic problem on Earth a few years ago, called the 'Millennium Bug'?" Su Ming talked about the computer and asked the adjutant to project some pictures to facilitate explanation.

The horse-headed man shook his head, but Loki said that he knew and continued:

"People on earth use a digital information processing terminal called a computer. There was this problem in a widely used operating system. Before 2000 AD on earth, the year entered into the system would be 98, 88, 78, etc. The abbreviation of numbers means the last two digits of 1998, 1988, and 1978. But by the year 2000, the last two digits became 00. Because the program believes that time flows in a direction, the two digits should become larger and larger, but Suddenly it becomes the smallest 00, and its logic breaks down."

"A god who understands computers?" Jessica's expression was a little strange.

Loki spread his hands and naturally crossed his legs:

"I have lived on earth for many years after all. Isn't it normal to know how to use computers?"

There was indeed a millennium bug problem on Earth 40K, but it was all Zola's fault. After all, he was the creator of modern computers. However, Wilson Enterprises was supervised by the lieutenant and there was no such problem, so Su Ming didn't bother to pay attention to it at the time, and now it is just used as a story.

The Supreme Mage put his hands on the table, twirled a wine bottle, and said:

"As Loki said, the three gods of TVA also have this problem. When the end of time comes, the number of timelines in the universe will become the smallest value 0 in their calculations, so their logic is wrong, because time The thread should be like a big tree, growing more and more branches.”

While Deathstroke was talking, the adjutant was still projecting patterns to help him understand. It was like trying to guess what he drew. The drawings were extremely abstract.

But the horse-faced thunder god understood. He suddenly realized and slapped the horse's face:

"So their so-called sacred timeline is what they fabricated to give themselves the only possibility of 'surviving the end of time.'"
