Sylvie doesn’t care for this and would rather have both her revenge and free will for all. Plus, as she’s once stated, the universe craves chaos and her very existence is like reality trying to rebel against the TVA’s control over everything. After sending Loki away, she kills a welcoming Kang, and the timeline branches intensify.

From here, what becomes of Sylvie is up in the air. Where she might go and what she might do is unknown and not the easiest to figure out.

As for Loki, he knows the threat of the multiple Kangs and figures he needs to try and do something about it before it’s too late. That leads us to…

The Fate of the TVA

Loki is in fact too late. He runs through the TVA, passing through its officers without anyone paying him any mind despite the fact that he’s a wanted fugitive. He comes across Mobius and Hunter B-15 and tries to explain what’s going on, but they look at him with confusion. They’ve never met him before. Seeing a massive Kang statue (in a Planet of the Apes-esque moment), Loki begins to realize that this isn’t the TVA he knows. He’s in another timeline completely. One unleashed in the wake of He Who Remains’ death.

It is worth noting that B-15 refers to a “he” wanting the timeline to branch and Mobius saying they couldn’t stop it if they tried. So does this mean this reality’s Kang wants the multiverse to bloom, making him the opposite of He Who Remains? It’s also worth noting that the statues of the Time-Keepers have been replaced by those of Kang, perhaps meaning that Kang takes a more active/visible role in this reality than the literal puppet Time-Keepers we dealt with for much of the series.
