NOVEL WEB 13. Infiltration
Mobius M. Mobius PoV:
We could feel fear gripping us due to the power given off by the supreme one. That fear did not dissipate even after she stopped releasing that power. Mobius did not know how his reply had annoyed the monstrous being in front of him. While all of us were rightfully confused, the servants that guarded that demon on the throne did not seem to think so. Their glaring got even more intense as a result. This fear spiked as lady White summoned tiny white spiders from out of nowhere and they crawled all over their bodies and into their ears. Mobius could hear the screeches of his comrades as he was struggling himself:
"W-wait..What?"
"N-no."
"Get those creepy bugs of me."
"Mom, help me, I'm scared of spiders."
"Daddy help me, I'll provide you with a lifetime supply of bananas. Just get that spider out of my ea-rrr."
While he was confused by that last shout that seemed rather out of place, he could not dwell on it. His consciousness was slipping…or rather being altered…into something elsee…
When Mobius opened his eyes again he was born anew. He felt free of all the restrictions that the TVA had imposed on him. All of their false propaganda had been laid in the open for him to witness. The great supreme being, lady White had opened his eyes and given a new meaning to his life. The mission imposed on him was a sacred trial that had to be completed with no option of failure. He understood everything right now. All that time he spent toiling in the TVA was all for this one opportunity to serve the supreme being. Looking at the hunters and the minutemen present, they thought so as well.
The maid from earlier soon entered the throne room and returned all of their belongings to them. The hostility in the eyes of the supreme one's servants dampened as the members of the TVA present were no longer the filthy sinners from earlier, but rather the ones that would carry out the supreme one's plans.
Soon it was time for them to depart. While Mobius wanted to look towards the goddess once more, he now understood what a sacrilege that was. Not to mention his earlier thoughts. Thinking of the supreme being as a demon or monster, such thoughts were worthy of a thousand deaths. So, Mobius did not dare to look towards the throne. After being handed some sort of horn, the TVA members led by Mobius entered the time door. The look they shared before entering made Mobius sure that all of them were on the same page for what had to be done.
As they entered the TVA, Mobius was filled with a sense of disgust. To think that he was aiding a piece of filth by pruning innocent timelines. But no more, as he now had a new grand mission. One that stated with this first step.
Mobius made his way to Renslayer's office. He understood Renslayer like the back of his palm and had adored her until recently. That adoration did not last any longer of course, as such a feeling was worthless when he could be praying for guidance from the supreme one in that time. Nevertheless, on account of their past friendship, Mobius decided to free Renslayer in the near future as well. Not only her, he would free the entire TVA from the clutches of He Who Remains, and help them reach their rightful place in life by serving the supreme one as well.
"Mobius, what happened? What caused that anomaly?" She asked.
"Its this thing." Mobius replied as he handed over the horn to Renslayer.
"What is this? Is this a horn or a trumpet? Are you sure this is what caused that nexus event?"
"Positive. You know I would never joke about work. You can check it out yourself."
Just as Renslayer was going to analyse the horn, an orange holographic clock with a smiley face appeared out of nowhere.
Miss Minutes spoke, "I'll be taking that, if you would hand it over. The time keepers want to analyse the cause of this anomaly themselves personally." She stretched out her hand and received the horn from Renslayer before disappearing.
Seeing, miss Minutes disappear, Mobius thought that the first step of the plan was completed successfully. Soon he will make sure to complete his mission and bring salvation to the entire TVA.

He Who Remain's PoV:
Kang was staring at the little horn placed on the table in front of him as he sat by his desk in the citadel at the end of time. This little thing had nearly caused all of his plans that he had created since the previous multiversal war with the Council of Kang's. Although his plans were by no means, a guaranteed success, he could always try everything all over again. He was 'He Who Remains' after all. Nevertheless, he did not want his plans to get derailed before even enacting them completely. He was so close to achieving positive results this time around. At the cusp of success. Even if he failed, he wanted to know what went wrong so that he could modify his plans for the next cycle. And this little horn handed over by Miss Minutes had nearly cost him an entire cycle's work without achieving any results at all.
Upon primary analysis, this horn was not like anything he had seen before. It was almost as if it should not exist in this multiverse at all. Such a discovery blew his mind. He saw new possibilities in this horn. He was sure he could make something beneficial to him out of it. Kang had such confidence as he had been the one to discover the multiverse in every single universe that existed. The horn in itself did not seem to be a powerful artifact, but what attracted Kang was the plethora of possibilities that it might contain.
Kang picked up the horn. He was tempted to play with it first. He knew he shouldn't go flailing around such an unknown object, but hey, after the millennia of craziness that he had experienced, could you really blame him?
So he blew the horn, and that summoned ugly green monsters in front of him. They were what youngsters would call goblins, he was sure of it. Don't look at him as just a living fossil, Kang probably knew more about Earth's popular culture than all the youngsters did. The goblins seemed stronger than the average human physically, but nothing that good ol' technology could not handle. He also understood that they were completely loyal to their summoner. That made work easy for him as now he could study all aspects of the horn in peace. Kang was relieved that he had solved the crisis quickly and as an added bonus, he had a brand new toy to play around with.

A/N: I made it so that, the controlled people don't become mindless puppets but more like cultists and fanatics. Of course, Shiraori can take control of them completely at any time she wants to. How was this ability shown in the original WN and LN, asking cuz I don't remember properly?
