As Syd continued gathering energy and lighting up universes—while countless beings were still discussing recent events...
Inside the Ti Variance Authority—
Mobius and the others had also just witnessed the fall of Arishem and the rest of the Celestials.
Beyond feeling pity for Arishem and his kind, they were utterly shaken by the power displayed by the man in white.
"He's getting stronger?!"
"How is this happening?"
"How is he doing this?"
Whether it was Agent Mobius or the others, all were equally horrified and stunned as they watched the demise of so many powerful Celestials.
They had heard Tuolt's final words before his death too—
The man in white had possibly reached multiverse-level?
Their archives certainly contained records of such terrifying beings.
And just thinking about such entities made their scalps tingle and filled them with dread.
At that mont, a black-suited man in his thirties, nad Patrick, said anxiously, "We can't let this white-clad man continue growing stronger—otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
As soon as he said this, a series of frightening images flashed through everyone's mind.
Syd's current strength had already surpassed the single-universe level and was suspected to have reached multiverse tier. If allowed to continue, there would be no more doubt—he would beco multiversal.
And when that happened, the Ti Variance Authority would definitely be in trouble.
They hadn't forgotten how many tis they had offended him before. Once he beca a true multiverse-level being, they might be the first target he'd eliminate.
That thought made Mobius and the others deeply uneasy.
Patrick scanned everyone's expression and suddenly said, "Let's prune the tiline of Universe 616."
"It's the only way to truly get rid of him."
Silence fell.
Mobius, Judge Renslayer, and the others exchanged looks.
Finally, they made their decision.
Even though the 616 universe was tied into the Sacred Tiline, they had no other choice now—they had to prune it.
Compared to preserving the 616 tiline, erasing this anomaly—the white-robed being—was far more important.
Once decided, they imdiately ran to the tiline-pruning console and began operating it.
This ti, they didn't even notify the Ti Keepers.
A short while later, all eyes were fixed on a monitor.
A glowing thread representing the 616 tiline was slowly fading from existence.
Seeing this, they began to smile.
"It worked!"
"We finally got rid of that white-robed freak!"
They were ecstatic.
With the erasure of the 616 tiline, its entire universe would vanish. No matter how powerful that man was—once the tiline ceased, so would he.
As they stared at the screen in excitent and anticipation...
anwhile, in Universe 616—
On a remote, uninhabited part of Earth, Syd was seated with his eyes closed, performing Dreamwalking and assisting Self-Born Eternal in lighting more universes.
Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart, and his eyes snapped open.
"What's this?"
He sensed that sothing was wrong with the universe. It was... collapsing?
It was a familiar sensation—he had felt the sa in Universe 838 when he seized the Darkhold, exploring the remnants of a shattered universe.
Imdiately, his vast, abstract consciousness swept across the entire universe to probe deeper.
And the next second, he found it.
"The tiline?"
Soone was trying to erase the tiline of Universe 616?!
He instantly knew who was behind it.
The Ti Variance Authority!
"I haven't even gone after you yet—and you dare co after ?"
Syd's gaze turned icy.
Ever since he had gained Self-Born Eternal, he had lost all fear of ti-related powers. Even if the 616 tiline collapsed, he would remain unaffected.
At most, the rest of Universe 616 would fall apart—but the part that belonged to him would remain intact.
In a sense, he had already transcended ti itself.
The TVA's threat level had dropped several tiers in his eyes. If not for the sake of caution, and needing to gather more power, he would have long since obliterated their entire headquarters with a single blow.
As he pondered this, he frowned.
Even though he wouldn't be hard, Odin, Thor, Frigga, Tony, Logan—everyone he knew—would be dood.
Everything familiar to him would disappear.
He would never allow the TVA to succeed.
Besides, sothing like this was... simple to deal with.
Syd muttered, "TVA... do you really think that if the tiline breaks, the universe must collapse?"
"Yes, under normal logic that's true. But..."
In the next instant, light erupted throughout the universe. Outside Earth, Syd's abstract concept body materialized.
Simultaneously, his material divine body on Earth dissolved into beams of light and rged with the abstract form.
His appearance stunned everyone on Earth.
They were bewildered not only by the strange change in their surroundings—but also by the sudden appearance of the white-robed man.
At the sa ti, Eternity, Infinity, Death, Oblivion, and the World Devourer sensed sothing was wrong.
In the starry void—
The Silver Surfer stared in surprise as he saw the World Devourer's face contort in shock.
A second later, the devourer whispered in disbelief, "The universe is collapsing... what's going on?"
He tried to halt the process—only to realize, to his horror, that he couldn't.
The collapse felt... inevitable.
As panic set in, he too noticed the anomaly manifesting outside Earth—the arrival of his youngest brother.
"He's noticed it too?"
"Can he stop this?"
The World Devourer muttered anxiously.
anwhile, inside the TVA—
Mobius and the others were still monitoring 616 and had also seen the spectacle outside Earth.
Seeing the white-robed figure appear, Patrick and the others sneered, shaking their heads.
It was obvious that the man had noticed sothing was wrong and had co to intervene.
But would it work?
"The tiline's been erased. The collapse of 616 is guaranteed. No one can stop it."
"Not even you, White-Clad One!"
They spoke with smug certainty, waiting eagerly for the look of despair to appear on his face.
Unfortunately for them, his abstract concept face was cloaked in divine radiance—they couldn't see a thing.
Just as they were lanting that—
They saw him slowly raise his right hand.
