At the entrance of the building.
Lilith, along with the Symbiote Squad, Erik, Max, and Flint, blocked everyone from the Time Variance Authority outside.
Lilith sat on a stool, crossing her legs, examining her blood-red manicure.
"How long until Mr. Aaron arrives? We have important matters to discuss with him."
The leading woman looked at the seductive woman in front of her, displaying great impatience.
The local organization was truly impolite, actually blocking them, such distinguished guests, outside.
No matter what she said, the other side remained completely unyielding.
Lilith didn't speak.
Erik, in a condescending manner, slowly said, "Please wait patiently. He is still busy with important matters right now."
"How much longer will that be? We've already waited half an hour."
"Is this how you treat guests?"
The woman looked displeased. She knew Magneto and was aware of his reputation. But she was not afraid in the slightest.
She had dealt with countless people like him in her past work.
Just a mere Magneto.
If the power of time in this world hadn't been suppressed to the minimum, she would have shown Magneto what true power was in minutes.
Magneto noticed the disdain and contempt flashing in the woman's eyes.
He could sense that this group of ordinary people possessed an arrogance far disproportionate to their apparent power.
It was like great gods looking down from above, regarding them as ants. This made Magneto quite unhappy.
If this were before, this group wouldn't survive half an episode in his hands.
Lilith frowned slightly. "Guests? I've never seen guests arrive fully armed and carrying future technology."
Lilith scanned the equipment on their bodies; these were devices that had never appeared on Earth before.
She utilized the Aaron Industries database and had Soundwave retrieve information on their identities. However, the information gathered was more outrageous than the last.
Some people among this group had matching information found.
Yet, these individuals were either "dead people" from a century ago or were currently living in another corner of the Earth.
No matter how she matched the data, the only conclusion was that the appearances were the same, but the identities were completely different.
Lilith knew that these guys were likely visitors from other Universes. They might possess some cross-Universe abilities and have extraordinary origins.
But... so what?
Aaron had just signaled her to keep these people out.
Until she received further instructions from Aaron, no matter how mysterious these people were, they could only stay outside.
This was the rule.
The woman gestured for her subordinates to put away their firearms, a sneer appearing on her face.
"Hmph, just a filthy Vampire, only because you've latched onto a God, don't get ahead of yourself."
Lilith frowned.
She was very angry but before confirming the other party's purpose, Lilith endured it, so as not to ruin Aaron's important business.
However—
"Slap your mouth."
A cold yet authoritative voice came from not far away.
The woman's expression changed, and she uncontrollably gave herself a heavy slap.
Aaron appeared with a grim face, his indifferent gaze sweeping over all the Time Hunters present.
That sharp gaze made these battle-hardened Time Hunters sweat profusely. They seemed to see a great terror, transforming from Time Hunters back into mortals, once again witnessing the majesty of a deity.
"Time Hunter B-15, a tool who doesn't even know her own name, just because you've latched onto the Time Variance Authority, you truly think you're above all Gods?"
Aaron showed no regard for B-15's dignity.
Lilith was his woman, and also the Head of the Security Department of Aaron Industries.
A mere B-15, still mocking his people in front of him? Truly overestimating herself.
They were just a group of ordinary people who had acquired time technology.
Did they really think they were omnipotent just because they got a Time Controller and dealt with some Universes and anomalies?
B-15's face alternated between green and white. She wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, she realized she couldn't refute it.
Because Aaron was speaking the truth.
She truly didn't even know her own name, only a code.
Since she could remember, she had always served the Time Variance Authority under the name B-15.
Aaron's words undoubtedly struck her most vulnerable spot.
Lilith smiled at the sight. She stood up, kissed Aaron's cheek, and looked at the other party provocatively.
B-15 was silent for a moment, then looked at Aaron and was immediately attracted to him. For a moment, she even forgot that he was the one who had just mocked her.
But Aaron was too handsome, so handsome that she felt she wasn't worthy.
Instead, Lilith and Aaron standing together looked like a match made in heaven, as harmonious and beautiful as a painting.
B-15 was very jealous, but she didn't forget the important mission she bore.
"Mr. Aaron, since you know of our existence, I don't need to explain too much. Our creators, the Time Keepers, wish to meet you."
B-15 took a deep breath, forcing herself not to look at Lilith, and spoke professionally.
Speaking of the Time Keepers, B-15 and the others couldn't help but puff out their chests. If it weren't for others being present, they might even have hummed lightly.
You, Aaron, are a God, but our Time Keepers are also Gods, and they are the Gods of Time.
Aaron refused without thinking, "Not interested."
B-15 was stunned, not expecting Aaron to refuse so decisively.
She hadn't expected anyone to dare refuse after knowing of their existence.
They were the Time Variance Authority!
"Mr. Aaron, you are a deity, and our Time Keepers are also deities. They maintain the stability and order of time, ensuring the stable development of the Universe."
"This time we came uninvited, hoping to discuss a major event concerning the stability of time with you."
"For the safety of the Universe, please come to the Time Variance Authority."
B-15 lowered her stance this time.
After all, Aaron controlled the timeline of this Universe.
Even they couldn't manipulate the timeline of this world through their time machine.
To enter this Universe, the Time Keepers had specially built a cross-Universe spatial controller. They could only arrive at this specific point in time.
If it were anyone else who had messed with time, they would have gone to New York in May 2010, arresting Aaron from that time for trial and pruning.
However, unfortunately, they had tried but found no way.
Aaron couldn't help but laugh at the words, shaking his head in B-15's astonished gaze. "You still dare to call yourselves Gods of Time? You truly don't put Moon God Khonshu in your eyes."
In the Marvel Universe, Moon God Khonshu is the true God of Time.
Those three robots from the Time Variance Authority? They are merely puppets remotely controlled by Immortus.
Only the fools at the TVA would genuinely regard three puppets as their leaders.
A bunch of good-for-nothings who don't even recognize their own boss, yet have the nerve to use the grand cause of protecting the Universe and guarding the world to pressure him?
It's truly laughable.
B-15's face darkened, feeling indignant about Aaron slandering their object of worship.
However, given the other party's special time control methods, she had to forcibly suppress her dissatisfaction.
