With the rustic and casual look and style of an ordinary person, the He Who Remains introduces himself by many names, including the Conqueror, without the given name Kang. Under great threat, he convinces the two Lokis to sit down so that he can visually tell the history of TVA.

Accordingly, a Variant of Kang in the 31st century discovered the existence of a multiverse as well as a method of time travel. This Variant sought to come into contact with other Kang variants in other timelines and share knowledge, experience, and technology.

After the initial fusion, several Kang Wariants who did not have the pure of heart arose with ambitions to take over other universes, leading to mutual carnage between the Kang Variants and the Multiverse War.

Kang has lived through millions of timelines, and devised a way to create TVA and Alioth – the monster that can consume both time and space. Those are the two tools that helped Kang prune the Variants and their realities and thereby quelled the Multiverse War, bringing the single-line timeline to work stably.

Kang suggest that both Lokis take over and rule the TVA to continue operating the single-line timeline. He also warns that, if he was killed, it would create a power hole in the universe, countless branch timelines would grow leading to a recurrence of the Multiverse War; at the same time, countless Kang Variants will appear and they would have not only one devil but infinite amount.

Loki has a belief in Kang's story, however Sylvie does not and she is determined to kill Kang at all costs. Loki stands up to stop Sylvie doing so and the two have a brief duel. In the midst of the rivalry, Loki reveals that he does not care about the position of Lord of Asgard or Ruler of TVA, but only worried about Sylvie's safety. The two kiss passionately, but Sylvie takes the opportunity of romance smoke to push Loki into the time portal. She stabs and kills Kang.

By the time Kang died, the timeline had begun to branch out strongly; shortly after Kang's death, the countless timelines branch off and they further branch off again into smaller branches. Just like that, it's now impossible to recognize the mainstream timeline in the multiverse scenario - the cosmic.

After being pushed through the time portal by Sylvie, Loki falls into TVA Headquarters, where he runs off to find Mobius and Hunter B-15, but neither of them appear to recognize him or know who he is. He is even further shocked to see that 3 of TVA's Time Keepers statues (Robots) were gone, but instead is now the statue of Kang. It's very possible that our mainstream Loki now is in a different timeline, in a different universe, at a different TVA, and the faced ruler is a Variant of Kang.

Thus, the Loki series has changed a bit the monster Alioth in the comics. In the comics, Alioth is a monster that invades universes, causing Kang to create a barrier to prevent it from encroaching on his universe; in this show, Alioth is an entity created by Kang to consume the Variants's realities in order to prevent the multiverse war.
