Currently the Multiverse contains countless unique timelines, not be confused with the branches of the Sacred Timeline, but actually those are just the ones that we know battled in the Multiversal War, while He Who Remains states that there are an infinite amount of variants of him, which is further confirmed by the Marvel Website:
He tells the duo they can kill him and destroy all that He has built, resulting in an infinite number of devils to contend with.
You either take over and my life’s work continues, or you plunge a blade into my chest and an infinite amount of me start another Multiversal War.
Those variants do not originate from the branches of the Sacred Timeline but exist on their own separate timelines, we know that since the reason why He Who Remains isolated the Sacred Timeline was to disconnect it from the other timelines and the Multiverse, thus hiding it from said variants:He Who Remains makes good on his threat. If they kill him, they’ll expose the Sacred Timeline and invite an infinite number of versions of himself who aren’t as keen on peace and harmony.
After the death of He Who Remains, the Sacred Timeline not only branched, but also connected with the Multiverse and expanded to alternate realities, these being the infinite timelines where the variants of Kang from which He Who Remains was hiding are.The idea with He Who Remains is that he’s a variant of Kang the Conqueror. Basically, he tells them in his story that he managed to close himself off and isolate the timeline that we all know from the other timelines. It’s almost like they’re an island that’s completely hidden from everyone. He’s been doing that to protect himself because he’s afraid of the other variants of himself, which is Kang the Conqueror and many other variants of him as well, there’s so many different versions of that character. In our story, it’s He Who Remains, and he’s a variant of Kang.
- This also explains why we saw variants of Kang even before the events of Loki during Quantumania (when Janet was still trapped in the Quantum Realm and met Kang who had been exiled by the Council of Kangs)
To this:The Multiverse as a whole contains countless of those timelines
That's all
