Part 3/9:
Inside the TVA, Loki formed a bond with agent Mobius and encountered his female variant, Sylvie. Together, they unraveled a grand deception—the apparent Time Keepers were mere robots, and the mastermind behind the TVA was revealed to be "He Who Remains," a variant of Kang the Conqueror who sought to end the multiversal war by controlling timelines. Sylvie, believing he had no right to dictate their fates, killed him, which caused timelines to spiral out of control, leading to an uncertain future.
As the first season concluded, Loki found himself returned to the TVA, but altered in a world where Mobius didn't recognize him, and the very statues of the Time Keepers had transformed into those of Kang.
